After being reborn, I became a top-tier celebrity by resetting my game history.
Chapter 8 Using Others to Find the Truth
She twisted her neck: "It's finally coming."
Feifei gloated.
[I'm really looking forward to it; I expect to get more information about the original owner's identity from Shen Tiancheng.]
Shen Tiancheng had a full head of white hair, looked old even though he was not yet 60 years old, had a face full of wrinkles, and his eyes were shifty, making him seem insincere.
Judging from his appearance, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, making him seem approachable, but his facial muscles are tense, lacking a relaxed and natural expression.
"Xiao Qi!" Shen Tiancheng called to her from the front yard.
The servants gloated, thinking she was doomed.
"The master used to love making his young mistress kneel on a washboard."
"That's not something that Miss Yang brought upon herself, causing unhappiness for the whole family."
Su Qi clapped her hands and walked to the front yard.
Shen Tiancheng looked at Su Qi, dressed in a leather jacket and pants, looking slovenly, and with his hair cut short: "He looks just like a man!"
She reeked of smoke and alcohol, which angered Shen Tiancheng so much that he tried to grab Su Qi's ear.
Unfortunately, Su Qi was just too tall, standing at 1.96 meters, even Shen Tiancheng had trouble standing on tiptoe.
The scene became so comical that Shen Chaohuai couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Shen Tiancheng felt extremely embarrassed, so he pretended to calm himself down and sat down, looking at Shen Chaohuai and Su Qi from left to right.
"Your Majesty!"
Shen Chaohuai was about to kneel when Shen Tiancheng stopped him: "I wasn't talking about you!"
Su Qi clenched her fists. Dare to make her kneel? What were they thinking? In the Empire, she herself was an object of worship for thousands of people. Why should she kneel before a human?
The servants came up and groped Su Qi, forcing him to kneel in front of Shen Tiancheng.
Zhao Meihua immediately ripped off her earring, causing her earlobe to split open and blood to gush out.
Su Qi felt no pain, letting the blood fall onto her leather jacket and slide down.
"Look at you, you're not learning anything good every day! You're a member of the Shen family! Every word and action you take represents the Shen family! We only agreed to let you enter the entertainment industry because you're our adopted daughter, and because you're relatively obedient, that's why we made you a female star!"
"You've set a terrible example! Look what people outside are saying about me! They say I've failed to raise my daughter properly, that my adopted daughter has no manners at all! I'm losing all face in public!"
Shen Chaohuai knelt down to bandage the wound on her earlobe, but Shen Tiancheng scolded him: "Don't help her! She needs to be disciplined!"
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
Shen Tiancheng looked at Shen Chaohuai's towering height and finally realized something, pulling Shen Chaohuai up with one hand.
"Chao Huai, what's wrong with you! Why do you always side with outsiders! And instead of learning from others, why are you taking growth hormones like her?!"
Shen Tiancheng noticed that Shen Chaohuai had to look up to him, so his confidence in speaking diminished.
Shen Chaohuai didn't take it seriously, and leaned back on the sofa, supporting his head with his long fingers: "Father, if you insist on punishing her, I can simply run away from home."
Shen Chaohuai knew what the Shen family feared most: "I am the only heir of the Shen family. If you are not afraid that the family property will be handed over to the Xinguo Charity Foundation after your death, then you can bully her all you want. I will go further and further away from her."
"You! You brat! I've suspended your card! Let's see how far you can run!"
Shen Chaohuai sneered, waved his hand, and was about to go upstairs to rest.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tiancheng, who was behind him, finally couldn't hold back any longer: "It seems what they said was true, Xiao Qi is seducing you!"
"Guards, lock Miss Yang in the backyard storage room. If she's not punished for a few days, she'll never know what's good for her!"
As Shen Chaohuai watched Su Qi, covered in blood, being pushed into the backyard, a jarring memory and the piercing sound of gunfire swept over him once more.
He rushed over, but fearing that his impulsive actions might cause her further harm, he stopped in his tracks.
Enduring the pain in his chest alone, he gripped the stair railing, his whole body trembling with tension.
Su Qi was pushed into the storage room, and the door was locked from the outside.
Feifei used her healing ability, and the wound on Su Qi's earlobe healed quickly.
That's outrageous!
[It's clear the original owner didn't have a good life in the Shen family either!]
"I didn't get your identity information, but I got a severe scolding instead." Su Qi slowly stood up.
Su Qi's lips twitched as he suddenly thought of something funny.
Since the surveillance footage was destroyed and no one cared when the original owner was pushed to the ground, and Shen Tiancheng cares so much about his reputation, wouldn't it be easier to force Shen Tiancheng to respond and help her find the murderer because of this incident?
Su Qi took out her phone and saw that it still had 50% battery left.
There's nowhere to charge her phone; she needs to act quickly.
Su Qi called Lynn: "Hello? Miss Manager, your artist has been locked up by the Shen family, what should we do?"
Lynn was stunned when she received the call: "What?! What's going on?"
"My adoptive father scolded me for making headlines about my resurrection, smoking, drinking, and taking hormones."
Lynn, confused, said, "Of course. As a female celebrity, you should keep a clean reputation."
"They said I seduced the eldest son of the Shen family, which is why they locked me up."
Lynn's pupils widened slightly upon hearing this: "Huh? How come I've never heard you mention this before?"
Su Qi paused. It seemed that the original owner was weak-willed and never spoke frankly to the outside world. No wonder she was always misunderstood. Even her manager did not know the original owner's difficulties.
"I need your help now. If you do a good job, you can also find the murderer who pushed me to my death."
Lynn nodded: "Tell me, and I'll help you think of a solution."
Su Qi said, "First, I want you to buy a trending topic to slander Shen Tiancheng for not taking good care of his adopted daughter, which led to me being pushed down the stairs without his knowledge."
"Second, create public opinion to force Shen Tiancheng to investigate and hold a press conference to respond."
Lynn understood: "I will do it as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Su Qi narrowed his eyes, his deep pupils concealing the faint light.
[Brilliant, Master! This way, Shen Tiancheng will definitely have no choice but to respond.]
But there's a problem: Tianhai is a brokerage firm invested in by Shen's father. Would doing this...?
Su Qi called Lynn again: "Don't use company resources."
Lynn whispered, "Don't worry, I've been helping you build a team ever since you chose me as your agent. They're all our own people, and President Cui of Tianhai and Shen Tiancheng won't know."
Su Qi was slightly taken aback. From the moment Lynn blurted out that she would help the original owner, Su Qi had already considered it. So, Lynn really was the original owner's person.
Soon, a trending topic quickly dominated various sections of the blog.
#Su Qi was suspected of being pushed off a building, and her adoptive father, Shen Tiancheng, has ignored the situation.
[? This woman would be pushed? That's impossible, she's more likely to push someone else.]
[Isn't Shen Tiancheng the one who cherishes this adopted daughter the most? Su Qi has been speaking up for her in public since her transformation, how could he possibly abandon her after she fell from the building?]
[That's right, Su Qi is neither male nor female now, and even Shen's father is still speaking well of her, how could he possibly ignore her?]
[It's highly likely that she did something wrong herself, got punished, and suffered a setback, so Shen Tiancheng didn't dare to say anything.]
Public opinion started to turn strange, but Su Qi smiled and said, "The real show has only just begun."
The next second, opinions in some comment sections began to shift.
Shen Tiancheng is a well-known philanthropist in our new country. Shouldn't he come out and respond after such a big incident?
[Upstairs, I agree. There should at least be a press conference, right? Otherwise, they'll keep using unclear and ambiguous public opinion to occupy public resources!]
[Yes, yes, we also need to investigate why Su Qi fell from the building. Even if she was attacked, we should at least get the truth, right?]
[Yeah, Shen Tiancheng doesn't seem to love his adopted daughter that much; he's just putting on an act!]
……
Shen Tiancheng received the news in his office that media reporters had cornered the company entrance, demanding his response. He could no longer tolerate it: "Fine! I'll hold a press conference tomorrow and bring Xiao Qi out!"
