70: Chapter 70 Oh no, this is a father-son scheme!
Pfft!
Su Yun had just picked up his thermos to take a sip of water when he saw this line, and he nearly choked to death.
He coughed violently twice, his expression becoming extremely strange.
This wasn't some pure-love warrior.
This was a Green Lantern.
And this green light was even self-produced and self-marketed.
Su Yun looked at Zhou Kevin on the screen, who was still wiping away tears with an expression of "I'm willing to sacrifice everything for love," his eyes filled with sympathy.
This kid was too miserable.
Truly too miserable.
This kind of misery had already transcended the realm of tragedy and elevated directly to the level of an ethical comedy.
"Ahem."
Su Yun cleared his throat, interrupting Zhou Kevin's affectionate monologue.
"Um... Mr. Zhou."
"Stop crying for a moment."
"Just now you said that as long as she is safe, you would accept it even if you broke up, right?"
Zhou Kevin was stunned, then nodded vigorously: "Right! As long as she is safe, I can accept anything!"
"Fine."
Su Yun nodded, his expression becoming somewhat subtle.
"Then I'll tell you some good news."
"She's fine."
"Not only is she fine, but she's actually living quite comfortably right now."
Zhou Kevin's eyes lit up, and he sprang up from his chair.
"Really? Master! Where is she?"
"Was she kidnapped by a pyramid scheme? Or did she run into some trouble?"
"I want to save her! I'm willing to pay any amount of money!"
Looking at his eager appearance, Su Yun sighed.
Why was this guy so persistent?
Sometimes, not knowing the truth was much happier than knowing it.
"She wasn't kidnapped, and she didn't run into any trouble."
"And..."
Su Yun paused, his tone softening slightly.
"She didn't lose contact either."
"Mr. Zhou, have you ever considered a possibility?"
"She didn't lose contact; she blocked you."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Kevin shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Our relationship is so good; just a few days ago she was still calling me hubby!"
"And I just tried it, the phone call goes through, it's just that no one answers, and WeChat didn't show a rejection notification."
"She must have some hidden reason!"
Su Yun looked at him and shook his head helplessly.
This was a classic "self-moved" personality.
He wouldn't give up until he hit a brick wall, and he wouldn't shed tears until he saw the coffin.
"Since you are so persistent, I'll just say it straight."
Su Yun sat up straight, his gaze fixed directly on the camera.
"Zhou Kevin, you don't need to search the whole world for her."
"She is very close to you."
"Close enough that you don't even need to leave this restaurant."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Kevin was stunned.
The audience in the livestream room was also stunned.
"What does that mean? In the restaurant?"
"Darkness under the lamp?"
"Could she have been kidnapped in the restaurant kitchen?"
Zhou Kevin looked around, his face full of confusion: "Master, stop joking, I'm the only one in this private room."
Su Yun extended a finger and pointed at the screen.
"Stand up."
Zhou Kevin stood up subconsciously.
"Hold your phone."
Zhou Kevin obediently followed instructions.
"Turn around and look to your left rear."
"Is there a screen there?"
Zhou Kevin turned around and indeed saw an exquisite embroidered screen standing two meters away, which was used to partition the private room area.
"Yes... there is a screen."
Zhou Kevin's heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate.
An ominous premonition grew wildly in his heart like weeds.
But he still didn't want to believe that absurd thought.
"Master, are you saying... Yuqing is behind there?"
Su Yun didn't answer directly, but said calmly:
"Walk over."
"Pull open the screen."
"You will be able to see the person you are looking for."
The barrage in the livestream room stopped completely at this moment.
Everyone was holding their breath.
The atmosphere was more tense than watching a horror movie.
Zhou Kevin swallowed hard, the hand holding the phone trembling slightly.
He inched toward the screen step by step.
Ten steps.
Five steps.
Three steps.
Every step felt like stepping on cotton, soft, yet incomparably heavy.
Behind the screen, a low whispering sound could be vaguely heard.
It was the sound of a man and a woman flirting.
"Hate you, this is too big, I can't eat it."
"Good girl, open your mouth, this is top-grade Wagyu beef, it's good for your health."
"Oh my, you're so bad..."
This voice.
Too familiar.
So familiar that Zhou Kevin felt like his skull was about to be blown off.
It was Yuqing's voice.
But he still clung to a last shred of hope.
Maybe he heard it wrong.
Maybe...
With trembling hands, he grabbed the edge of the screen.
Then, he pulled hard.
Crash!
The screen was pushed open.
The previously blocked scene was exposed without reservation to the over one million viewers in the livestream room.
It was a round table.
On the table were flowers, red wine, and two steaks that hadn't been finished yet.
A girl wearing a white dress and exquisite makeup was snuggled in the arms of a middle-aged man.
That middle-aged man had somewhat sparse hair, a typical Mediterranean hairstyle, wearing a Polo shirt, his belly slightly protruding.
At this very moment.
The girl was opening her mouth, waiting for the middle-aged man to feed her steak.
And on the middle-aged man's fork was a piece of cut meat, being delivered to the girl's mouth.
The smiles on both their faces froze completely the moment the screen was pulled open.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
The girl turned her head and saw Zhou Kevin standing there.
The red wine glass in her hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," and red liquid splashed everywhere.
"Ke... Kevin?"
And that middle-aged man also turned his head.
When he saw Zhou Kevin holding his phone with a dazed expression, his whole body stiffened.
The meat in his mouth fell onto the plate, making a crisp sound.
These two people.
One was the "true love" Yuqing whom Zhou Kevin had been searching for bitterly for three days.
The other.
Was none other than Zhou Kevin's own father who gave him 500,000 in pocket money every month.
Zhou Dalong.
In the livestream room.
After experiencing a brief deathly silence, the barrage exploded like a tsunami.
It was full of question marks.
The whole screen was full of question marks.
"???????"
"Holy crap!!!!!"
"What the hell is this plot??"
"My CPU is fried! Can someone tell me what's going on?"
"If I'm not mistaken, that man... looks a bit like this handsome guy?"
Zhou Kevin stood there, his whole person like a statue struck by lightning.
His brain was blank.
His lips trembled for a long time before he squeezed two words from his throat.
These two words carried endless absurdity and despair.
"Dad?"
Zhou Dalong, sitting in the chair, had a colorful expression on his face.
Shock, panic, embarrassment, and finally it turned into shame and anger.
It was simply too embarrassing.
Just now he heard his son talking about "Master" and "fortune-telling," so he knew this kid must have had the video on.
If this got out, would his old face as Zhou Dalong still be worth anything?
How would he be able to hang out in the circle in the future?
"Dad..."
Zhou Kevin was still trembling there, his face covered in tears and snot, looking as miserable as one could be:
"You, you guys..."
"Shut up!"
Zhou Dalong slammed his hand down and roared in shame and anger.
He took the initiative to strike first, pointing at Zhou Kevin's nose and started scolding:
"You little brat! Who let you in?"
"Didn't you see I was talking business?"
"You have no manners at all! Don't you know how to knock before entering?"
