Chapter 1249 - 1038: Not One to Suffer in Silence
Lu Meifang said she’d handle matters for Ye Qiu, and she really got it done immediately.
Why wouldn’t she take the money on offer? She had her own mother fake an illness, forcing Lu Mei Juan and Ye Yide to return to their hometown.
Their hometown had a rule: if the parents fell ill, usually the son would provide money and the daughter would take care of them. If anyone wanted to avoid this, they had to pay double the money.
Would Lu Mei Juan be willing to pay this money? She could only go home to take care of them. As for Ye Yide, with Ye Qiu’s persuasion, Professor An ultimately decided not to pursue the matter, though he couldn’t escape offering a formal apology and was left with a record.
On one hand, Ye Meng also feared her father might act rashly against Ye Qiu here, so she sent her father back with her mother. On the other hand, the family had no income lately, which frustrated her.
And there’s no use in having her father here since he doesn’t understand computers while she’s trying to hire a hacker to dig up Ye Qiu’s details. It’s just a waste of money.
Ye Meng may lack many things, but she does have some sketchy friends. Although everyone disdains her dubious character, what does that matter to them? Given the many things they usually received from Ye Meng, they straightforwardly pointed her to a clear path.
Following the leads, Ye Meng navigated through a website. She wasn’t sure who was skilled but casually entered a thread where someone was highly praised, so she inquired.
"God, I have a deal for you. Would you take it?" she asked nervously.
Ye Qiu found the ID somewhat familiar, so he checked it out. He laughed upon finding it out, finding this turn of events quite unfortunate for Ye Meng.
He then sent a private message to Ye Meng: "What kind of deal? No illegal stuff."
Hearing this settled Ye Meng’s mind, as she worried this might be a scam. If this person took any random business from someone who stumbled upon them, it was likely they were deceiving.
Therefore, Ye Meng quickly typed: "It’s not illegal. Just asking the God to help me check someone’s online records."
"How much are you prepared to offer?" Money not earned is foolish, especially easy money. Ye Qiu felt no guilt about conning it.
"Does it make a difference?" Ye Meng hesitantly asked.
"Naturally, more money means more details, starting at twenty thousand."
"Twenty thousand? That expensive?" Ye Meng was taken aback by the figure—twenty thousand yuan could buy a designer handbag.
"Every service has its corresponding price. Mine is quite fair. You can go and ask around casually; when you’ve made up your mind, find me through this link." With that, Ye Qiu logged out, unafraid of Ye Meng seeking others. Who could breach his firewall?
Even if such a genius existed, could Ye Meng afford their price?
Ye Meng indeed consulted her friends, and one agreed to introduce her to a cheaper option, costing just eight thousand.
A comparison between eight thousand and twenty thousand led her to choose eight thousand, but the eight thousand yuan disappeared silently, sparking complaints instead.
"Is this the regular college student’s computer you mentioned? Before I even got in, they attacked my computer with a virus. Now my computer is completely ruined; how do you plan to compensate for my loss?" the person questioned.
Ye Meng immediately countered: "Compensate for your loss? Why don’t you admit your skills are lacking? You should be the one compensating me those eight thousand yuan!"
"Me compensate you? This time it’s my bad luck, but if you go out scheming again, I’ll hack you whenever I see you," the person threatened.
Considering the person’s abilities, Ye Meng dared not ask for her loss compensation, leaving her to accept misfortune and quietly return to Ye Qiu.
Because she felt indignant, since the money was already spent and not teaching Ye Qiu a lesson left her feeling uneasy. She resigned to her ill fate this time.
"Beauty, this time the price has risen, a minimum of thirty thousand." Ye Qiu said, seemingly unfazed by the prospect of losing this deal.
"Thirty thousand?" Ye Meng exclaimed. She had been planning to haggle but hadn’t started before the price rose. Was this daylight robbery?
"Didn’t you say twenty thousand earlier?"
"Earlier you were a newbie. Since you sought others without success and returned to me, naturally the price increased. Up to you; I don’t mind." Ye Qiu replied.
"Thirty thousand it is, but you must guarantee the matter is handled properly." Ye Meng typed through gritted teeth, "I’ll only give a ten thousand deposit first. If I’m satisfied, I’ll hand over the remaining twenty thousand."
"No, at least half upfront, and don’t even think about skipping the payment. You should know the skills in our industry."
"Keep your word."
"No problem, await my good news."
After that, Ye Qiu downloaded his browsing history, mostly on his research into specific expertise, naturally hiding earlier posts from others’ searches.
Once done, he kindly packaged it into a folder and sent it to Ye Meng.
Fifteen thousand are easily in hand; he could almost envision Ye Meng’s shocked expression upon viewing the records.
Over there, Ye Meng excitedly downloaded the file, eagerly opened it. She was already planning how to hand it to the media, how to ruin Ye Qiu’s reputation.
But the contents were numerous yet lacked what she wanted, unable to believe this, she searched again and confirmed her desire was missing.
She then angrily questioned: "What did you give me? I want all records, all of them!"
"Beauty, all records have been provided. What more do you want? Could it be you’re trying to ditch the remaining payment?"
"Me ditch the payment? I’ve already given you fifteen thousand. How could I bail? Clearly, it’s your inadequate work!"
"Such detailed records, and I’m inadequate? Beauty, don’t speak nonsense." Ye Qiu teased Ye Meng, malicious amusement showing.
This bit of revenge was hardly comparable to what Ye Meng did to him before.
"What about that post? Why isn’t it recorded?"
"What post? I’m sure it’s not there; did you make a mistake?"
"Me make a mistake? They told me directly. Check again; I want their account and password."
"Sorry, there’s really nothing. By the way, Beauty, with your relationship like this, you sure it’s not them deceiving you?" Ye Qiu irresponsibly said, "My skills are known widely; I don’t have time for idle chat. The remaining payment quickly, please."
"You..." At this moment, Ye Meng was so angry she could explode. But considering, he had a point, the other party had no reason to lie, and with so many records traced, why was the post absent? Could Ye Qiu have really tricked her?
