BXBX NOVEL Chapter 368 - 368 Last Hope
As expected, there is karma. Even Xu Lu did not expect that the matter that she had just arranged would end up happening to her.
“Money, it must be money. Didn’t Wu Kai and the others take on these jobs for money?” The sudden thought made Xu Lu more and more certain of the reason for the change.
Immediately after, a bad thought appeared in Xu Lu’s mind. Since Wu Kai and the others were messing with her, according to the next step, they had to spread the threatening video to the school’s Internet.
Xu Lu began to be afraid. She recalled carefully and confirmed that the two of them were holding phones at that time. This made Xu Lu, who had calmed down, start to feel uneasy again, afraid that her video would be announced to the entire school the next morning.
In order to find her last hope, Xu Lu, who was completely alone and helpless, called Tang Hui after some thought. In order not to let others hear their conversation, both of them walked out of the dormitory and found a relatively quiet place in the corridor.
“Xu Lu, I was waiting for your good news. If you don’t call me soon, I won’t be able to help but call you.” Tang Hui’s tone was obviously excited. “How is it? You should have gotten Shan Yue’s video by now, right?”
However, what happened next did not go as Tang Hui had imagined. After Xu Lu told her what had happened, Tang Hui already understood.
Wu Kai had attacked Xu Lu with the same method, so it proved that Shan Yue already knew their plan. No matter what method Shan Yue used to make Wu Kai betray them, this plan had already failed.
However, when they attacked Xu Lu, Shan Yue did not say much to her when she returned. From these two points alone, it could be seen that although Shan Yue had seen through this matter, she did not know that she was involved in it. At least her current situation was still safe.
“Tang Hui…” Just as Tang Hui was deep in thought, a shout came from the other side of the phone.
“Didn’t you say that you were the second layer of protection?” Xu Lu’s voice was very anxious, and there was a hint of tears in it. “What did that reporter see? What exactly made Wu Kai change his mind at the last minute and choose to attack me?”
This question successfully stumped Tang Hui. The second layer of guarantee was completely a cover. It was just to protect herself.
As things developed, Tang Hui had long forgotten about finding the reporters.
However, based on the current situation, Tang Hui definitely could not say this out loud. Otherwise, when Xu Lu realized that she had been deceived and had nowhere to go, she would definitely be driven to desperation. Before she died, she would drag someone down with her and insist that she was also involved in this matter. At that time, Shan Yue would definitely turn around and deal with her.
After some thought, Tang Hui thought of many reasons to help her pass it off. After careful consideration, she chose the most convincing one.
“I had instructed the reporter at my house three days ago.” Tang Hui was still very good at lying. “But something suddenly happened at home yesterday, so he was called away and couldn’t come today. I thought that with Wu Kai and the others, nothing would go wrong, so I didn’t tell you.”
When Xu Lu heard this, she clearly complained, “Then what should we do now? Shan Yue must already know.”
“Don’t be anxious.” Tang Hui tried her best to comfort Xu Lu. “Since you’ve already been taught a lesson, Shan Yue should have achieved her goal. I guess she won’t make things difficult for you anymore.”
“That’s easy for you to say. You’re not the one making a fool of yourself. You’re definitely not worried…”
Before Xu Lu could finish speaking, her roommate ran out of the dormitory and found her. “Don’t call yet. Hurry up and take a look in the group. There’s a video about you.”
Hearing these words, Xu Lu’s heart was like a bolt from the blue. There was no need to guess that the video sent in the middle of the night must have just happened. However, even so, she still held onto her last hope.
