Chapter 73
Rumors spread that Qin Zhao planned to cause trouble at the wedding of Nan Yue and Xu Yiyang.
Shen Yixuan was filled with excitement.
Whenever there was free time, she would pester Qin Zhao, asking him how to create mischief.
She expressed her full support and even offered to take the lead!
But Qin Zhao turned her down with various excuses.
During lunchtime, Shen Yixuan continued to hound Qin Zhao with questions, "Qin Zhao, tell me, why can't I do it?"
Qin Zhao looked at the standard of beauty in this world and Shen Yixuan's face, and said, "You are too beautiful. Wherever you go, you attract attention and can't be low-key.
The task I have to accomplish must be done unnoticed, without anyone knowing."
Shen Yixuan didn't understand, "Qin Zhao, do you have some misconceptions about yourself?
You're clearly more handsome!
Why do you keep talking about me?
You can't be low-key either, can you?"
Qin Zhao didn't want to discuss who was more beautiful with her. Everyone has different tastes.
In his own opinion, Shen Yixuan was the most beautiful, followed by Nan Yue.
He simply said, "You're right. That's why I'm not the one doing this. I've already asked someone else to do it."
Shen Yixuan had a mournful face, "But I'm really curious!"
Faced with Shen Yixuan's persistent pestering, Qin Zhao had no choice but to bring out his trump card.
He turned Shen Yixuan's shoulder and said earnestly, "Believe me, you will be glad you didn't become the center of attention.
The truth is, what I'm planning is illegal, and I would end up in jail.
So, are you still willing?"
Shen Yixuan took three steps back, her gaze toward Qin Zhao changed, and she trembled as she said, "The person who helped you, didn't you deceive them? You're so heartless!"
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Jiang Taigong fishes, and someone willingly takes the bait."
After finishing their meal and returning to their workstations, Qin Zhao opened his computer and found that the mysterious virus had finished incubating!
He opened the virus and examined its contents.
It was a complete ad campaign!
The other party's purpose should be to frame him and steal trade secrets!
Qin Zhao thought about the companies related to him. Who had an advertising business?
Soon, he narrowed it down to the Shengde Group!
So, the virus most likely came from Xu Yiyang!
502 spoke up, "Host, do you want me to delete it for you?"
Qin Zhao replied, "Where were you earlier? You only choose to do the easy tasks!"
502 said with a hint of grievance, "Host, I enjoy seeing you dominating the battlefield..."
Qin Zhao had to admit that 502 was useless, but also smooth-tongued.
Qin Zhao didn't delete the virus. He chose to leave it there, catching the enemy off guard often led to unexpected victories!
This virus could be the trap Xu Yiyang set for him, or it could become the trap he prepared for Xu Yiyang.
It all depended on who had the better strategy!
Finally, the day of Nan Yue's wedding arrived, after much anticipation.
Shen Yixuan had dressed up beautifully and came to Qin Zhao's house to wait for him, so they could go together.
As they sat on the couch, she looked around and suddenly asked, "Why don't I see Qiao Lin?"
Qin Zhao handed her a cup of coffee and replied, "She went to the gym."
Shen Yixuan nodded approvingly, "That's good. Even if the child isn't smart and has a bit of muscle, it can be an added layer of protection."
"Hehehe, you seem to care about her."
"It's about time. Let's set off."
In order to attend Nan Yue's wedding, Shen Yixuan specially took out her seldom-used Lotus sports car and drove it out.
Qin Zhao sat in the passenger seat and praised, "Ms. Shen's car truly provides a unique experience."
Shen Yixuan cautiously stared ahead and quickly said, "Don't talk to me, I can't be distracted!"
Qin Zhao's face instantly fell. It turned out that Shen Yixuan was a novice!
The subsequent experience unfolded exactly as she had anticipated.
Shen Yixuan made wrong turns at seven different intersections and failed to make a U-turn three times, resulting in the two of them spending three hours on a journey that should have taken only forty minutes!
Fortunately, Qin Zhao was worried about traffic and had left two hours early, otherwise they might not have made it to the venue today!
After presenting the cash gift, they were led by a waiter to the wedding venue.
The guests, dressed in formal attire, had already filled the venue, chatting in groups of two or three while holding champagne glasses.
Qin Zhao casually scanned the surroundings and didn't recognize anyone, but one person caught her attention!
That person was dressed in a Yves Saint Laurent suit that accentuated her slender figure.
A belt hung loosely around her waist, giving the entire ensemble a formal yet relaxed look, exuding an elegant and lazy vibe.
She turned her head slightly, and Qin Zhao got a clear view of her stunning face!
She thought to herself that this person must be an important character!
As if sensing Qin Zhao's gaze, she graciously made eye contact with Qin Zhao and raised her champagne glass in a gesture of acknowledgment.
Qin Zhao responded with a smile.
However, their brief moment of eye contact was quickly interrupted by a repulsive face. "Miss Qin, I didn't expect you to come."
Qin Zhao turned her head, unwilling to look at Xu Yiyang, and said, "Could you please stay away from me? You're polluting the air around me."
Xu Yiyang's smile froze for a moment, but then she recovered and said, "Miss Qin, your tongue is still as sharp as ever. Be careful not to end up an old maid!"
"Well, that works out perfectly. I'm not interested in marriage.
But as for you, getting married in such a hurry, are you worried about getting old and not finding someone to take over?"
Xu Yiyang closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Miss Qin must be itching with jealousy to see me marrying Nan Yue.
Thank you for taking care of Nan Yue in the past. From now on, leave this matter to me."
He leaned in closer to Qin Zhao and said, "Especially tonight, I'll make sure she enjoys herself thoroughly and gets a taste of a real man!"
Qin Zhao chuckled at his overestimation, "Xu Yiyang, I see that the sun hasn't set yet, so why are you daydreaming?
As far as I know, Nan Yue only enjoys my company."
Seeing Qin Zhao's smug expression, Xu Yiyang was infuriated and muttered a curse before storming off.
He thought to himself that he was destined to be the winner today!
Without the annoying presence, Qin Zhao's gaze searched for that person again, but she had disappeared without a trace.
She felt a tinge of regret as she withdrew her gaze.
The host spoke up, "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the wedding of Mr. Xu Yiyang and Ms. Nan Yue!"
The applause was sparse and lackluster.
The host continued with those lines he had repeated countless times, guiding the wedding proceedings.
The guests gradually took their seats, and Qin Zhao and Shen Yixuan found a seat towards the back.
After the host finished his words of blessing, he moved on to the second part, playing videos of the groom and bride's families giving their well wishes.
This part took up half an hour, and hardly anyone paid much attention.
Next came the video of the groom proposing to the bride.
"Qin Zhao, why are you watching it so attentively?" Shen Yixuan asked. "It's obvious that this video was staged. It's not interesting at all."
Qin Zhao teased her, saying, "If it was staged, you should be crying."
Shen Yixuan denied it firmly, saying, "I won't shed tears for Nan Yue anymore. That's all in the past."
"Is that so? Then I wish you find your other half soon."
As the two of them chatted, the style of the video suddenly changed!
Strange voices could be heard!
"Is this okay?"
"Make it heavier."
"Like this?"
"Lighter."
Smack! Smack! Smack!
"Let's fight!"
"Sob, it hurts so much..."
"Baby, I'm sorry."
"Kiss me."
"Okay..."
