Chapter 150
At this moment, Chen Yun's agonized and heart suddenly became clear.
Lin Lin's face flashed through her mind, reminding her of the friendship between them. Lin Lin's pain had already been inflicted; after taking one wrong step, every step thereafter was a mistake, until she finally ended all the rumors and gossip against her with her life.
And now, Chen Yun was experiencing the same pain as Lin Lin.
But Gu Sang was a good friend to both her and Lin Lin!
She couldn't push Gu Sang into the fire pit.
Even if the price for this was—that she herself would fall into the abyss.
Determination gradually filled Chen Yun's eyes. She abruptly stood up, glanced outside, and then carefully closed the door, locking it from the inside.
Chen Yun pulled Gu Sang into the kitchen, only then daring to speak:
"Sang Sang, didn't you see him when you came up just now?"
Gu Sang shook her head: "No, did he threaten you? Last time when I came to your house for dinner, I felt something was off about you, but you didn't say anything, so I didn't feel comfortable asking."
Chen Yun took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and bowed her head to apologize to Gu Sang: "Sang Sang."
"Before I tell you the truth, I need to apologize to you."
"I'm sorry!"
Gu Sang frowned without saying a word. Seeing Chen Yun's solemn and cautious expression, she knew that what Chen Yun was about to say might be quite shocking. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Meanwhile, the ancient live broadcast automatically started at the same moment Gu Sang entered the door.
Ten transparent small screens immediately appeared in front of Gu Sang. current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.
In the next second, the ten small screens merged into one screen.
This was the benefit of the upgraded live broadcast room.
Ten-in-one!
When the ancient people weren't speaking, their character images were ethereal.
Only when they spoke did the system automatically make their figures appear.
At the same time, live video broadcasts appeared in the capital, the plague city, Lingnan, and other places.
Liujiang City was canceled by the system due to flooding, and another city was randomly added instead.
When the ancient people in the two newly added split-screens saw the heavenly miracle projected directly onto the city gate, they began to curiously study this phenomenon.
"Oh, is this how immortals dress? It's different from what we wear? Their clothes are so short."
"No, this isn't a heavenly miracle. I've been to the plague city before, and I heard them say this is something called a 'live broadcast.'"
"We finally get to see the legendary goddesses and the future world!"
The ancient people in the new city discussed animatedly. Each time they spoke, their faces would appear, and Gu Sang only needed a glance to see their expressions as they talked.
On the right side was a black frame, displaying a list similar to a fan ranking.
At the top of the list was the Elder Princess, who had connected with Gu Sang the most.
And in second place was none other than Pei Changying.
Gu Sang glanced at it briefly before turning her attention back.
She didn't rush Chen Yun, but instead held her hand tightly, waiting for Chen Yun to build up enough mental preparation before slowly telling Gu Sang the truth.
Chen Yun choked up as she said: "This all started the last time you came to my house for dinner."
"That day, after I finished buying groceries and returned home, I encountered that scumbag at my doorstep."
"On his phone... on his phone, there were private photos he had secretly taken when we were together. I really never thought he would do such a thing. Seven years, and I never saw through him."
"He's using this to blackmail me. If I still ask him to repay the money, he'll post the private photos online."
"Sang Sang, if my private photos really get posted online, my life will be ruined. How could I face my parents and colleagues!"
At this moment, Gu Sang's heart was in turmoil, shocked beyond measure.
She didn't immediately ask anything, nor did she show any other expression.
She just listened calmly as Chen Yun continued: "I know he means what he says, so at the time I thought I'd just let it go, consider it money spent to avoid disaster."
"But I never imagined he would be so shameless, he's just an animal!"
"He saw that I was too scared to speak up, so these past few days he's been pushing his luck. Not only is he not paying me back, but he's also taken money from me twice. He took all the salary I earned this month, and he threatened me not to tell you."
"But yesterday, he made an even more outrageous demand. He told me to invite you out today, and then give you a drink spiked with a drug..."
At this point, Chen Yun anxiously observed Gu Sang's expression.
Seeing that she was listening without any expression of disgust, Chen Yun dared to continue.
"I'm sorry, Sang Sang. I know I should have gone to the police, but I was scared, I was really scared."
"We were together for so many years, he knows all my friends, and he has contact information for my relatives and parents too."
"If I don't do what he says, he'll send those photos to my parents. I really don't want my parents to worry."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Chen Yun said as she began to cry again, falling to her knees with a thud, crying and begging for Gu Sang's forgiveness.
She really hadn't imagined, hadn't thought that taking one step back with the scumbag would lead to him pushing her further and further.
She had already agreed not to ask him for the money back!
But what happened?
After he got a taste of success, he even started demanding her salary, and finally had the audacity to use the same tactics to try and violate Gu Sang, hoping to climb the social ladder by latching onto a wealthy young lady!
Gu Sang's face turned ashen as she helped Chen Yun up. She had guessed that the scumbag wouldn't give up easily, but she never imagined he would be so despicable!
He was practically on par with Pei Changying!
Gu Sang quickly pulled Chen Yun up and said seriously: "I don't blame you. You're so silly, how could you give in to that scumbag over this!"
"Besides, you didn't actually do anything to harm me, did you?"
"Although you were threatened by him, when it came to the crucial moment, you didn't show up. This proves that you still consider me your friend, you didn't hurt me."
"The one who really deserves to die is that scumbag, not you! You did nothing wrong!"
The ancient people watching the live broadcast saw how easily Gu Sang forgave Chen Yun, without even uttering a single harsh word.
Instead, this made the ancient viewers feel very angry, and they felt indignant on Gu Sang's behalf.
An ancient person from the new city angrily said: "Goddess, you still consider her your friend? She wanted to harm you! Although she didn't succeed in the end, she had that intention. She doesn't deserve to be your friend."
"Bah! If it were me, I'd grab her by the hair and slap her face twice. I treated her as a friend, but she wanted to harm me."
"Ungrateful wretch. Those who deserve pity often have detestable traits. No wonder she was taken advantage of. This woman is no good either."
"What are these 'private photos'? Are they of intimate clothing?"
Chen Yun was surprised that Gu Sang didn't get angry with her, and could even be so understanding.
Suddenly, a wave of intense regret washed over her.
How incredibly fortunate she had been in this life to meet a friend as kind and good-hearted as Gu Sang!
She had almost made a terrible mistake that would have ruined Gu Sang's life forever. The mere thought of it made Chen Yun tremble with fear.
Thank goodness!
Thank goodness she had been strong enough to resist!
