Spare Tire is Gone – Chapter 16.2 – The end result is only a lose-lose situation (R)

 

Shen Jia was so tired after a busy day, that after they got home he went straight to bed and forgot to ask Qi Cong about Gu Xun. Qi Cong  left him alone, settled him down and went back to his own room.

Before going to bed, Qi Cong went to the old website of JiangWan.com to have a look and found that his “Chivalrous Bones” had broken through 100,000 views and there were tens of thousands of new chapter comments.

Without reading the comments, he opened the new website of JiangWan.com and opened the “Chivalrous” series written by Wu Heng, which he downloaded during the day.

The so-called “know yourself as well as you know your enemy,” will be used when he confronts Wu Heng tomorrow. He has to figure out how much of his plot framework Wu Heng has used.

His hand moved till one o’clock in the morning, when Qi Cong put down his mobile phone. He went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, but it didn’t work. The anger in his chest was still burning.

Wu Heng actually changed the ending of ‘Chivalrous Bones’!

He wrote “Chivalrous Bones” as a screenplay so the plot line was not long. The plot was compact and the development was extremely fast. The hidden lines of foreshadowing all pointed to one ending – the death of Liu Fengyue.

Yes, he wrote “Chivalrous Bones” as a tragedy. The protagonist, Liu Fengyue, in the end died and turned into a pile of white bones. This was also the origin of his book title, with pun intended.

But Wu Heng changed the ending. He let Liu Fengyue live and embark on the road to domination of the martial arts world. He also added a large amount of love drama to Liu Fengyue’s storyline.

Which was ridiculous.

Liu Fengyue was supposed to be a hidden hermit. If it wasn’t for the sake of the survival of the country, he wouldn’t have appeared in front of the world with his broken sword. How could such a person lead the martial arts world?!

From the point of view of the whole “Chivalrous Bones” series, only the first book was about his plot, and the later ones were all written by Wu Heng, using the original world background of “Chivalrous Bones”, by changing the fate of several characters and applying the plot structure model of the first “Chivalrous Bones”. He also took several abandoned side plots and continued to write them full of loopholes!

Wu Heng not only stole his ideas, but also smashed them on the ground, picked them up and spelled them out in several other ways.

Qi Cong bowed his head and washed his face again. After washing his face, he looked up at himself with dark circles in the mirror. He clenched his hands into fists and hit the table surface hard. Then he straightened up and went back to the bedroom.

 

 

The next day, as soon as Qi Cong opened his eyes, he met Shen Jia’s curious gaze. His sleepiness disappeared and he looked up at the alarm clock at the head of the bed.

Seven o’clock, it wasn’t too late.

He got up from the bed and asked in an extra husky voice since it was morning, “Hungry?”

Shen Jia pounced directly on the bed. “What’s the deal with you and Gu Xun?”

Qi Cong was unprepared for it and fell back on the bed. After looking at the ceiling for two seconds, he raised his arms and tore Shen Jia off his body. As he got up, he said, “First get dressed and wait in the dining room, I’ll explain everything to you while making breakfast.”

When Qi Cong finished washing and went to the dining room, Shen Jia had already changed his clothes and was waiting there for him. Instead of postponing Shen Jia’s appetite, he went directly to the kitchen to make breakfast. While blurring out the premise of Gu Xun’s deception of pretending to be poor, he simply explained the process of getting to know and getting along with Gu Xun at the beginning. Because Gu Xun had made it too obvious yesterday, he didn’t hide the fact that his relationship with Gu Xun was a bit ambiguous during the course of his speech.

Shen Jia soon chased him back to the kitchen and stuck to Qi Cong’s back like a bug, gaping. “You mean that you were originally a couple with Gu Xun, but because of your sudden memory loss, you guys -“

Qi Cong’s action of whipping the eggs paused as he corrected, “We weren’t a pair yet.”

“But it was almost there! You already made an appointment to spend the Qixi Festival together…. Fuck!”

Qi Cong frowned, “Jia Jia.”

Shen Jia reacted after swearing, busy pouting, but in the end he couldn’t resist holding his breath before saying, “So you could have been with Gu Xun with a good family background, good-nature, capable and good-looking, whose character is guaranteed but in fact, because of your memory loss, the marriage was broken by Jiang Zhaoyan?”

Is that what Gu Xun looked like in Jia Jia’s eyes? Fierce, but excellent everywhere else?

“It wasn’t broken by Jiang Zhaoyan.” Qi Cong unfroze and resumed cooking. He picked up another egg to crack open. “It was my own brain damage and blindness after amnesia.”

“…” 

Shen Jia looked carefully at Qi Cong. No longer mentioning Jiang Zhaoyan, he instead said, “Well, you remember him now and it seems that Gu Xun still likes you. Do you want to make up with Gu Xun?”

Qi Cong looked at the two eggs in the bowl and stirred them with chopsticks, shaking his head. “It’s not so easy. Well, go out. There’s a lot of grease here, don’t get your new clothes dirty.”

 

 

The next day, Shen Jia was to shoot a magazine cover. The task was not too heavy and it only took half a day to finish. When everyone returned to their neighborhood, it was only 3:00 in the afternoon.

When arriving, Qi Cong asked Xiao Han to stop and got out of the car to go to the neighborhood guard station to get his express delivery before returning to the car with it.

Shen Jia asked curiously, “Brother Cong, have you bought something?”

“No, my mother sent me something.” Qi Cong put the box at his feet and asked Zhao Zhenxun, “Agent Zhao, can you stay for a while? I have something to tell you. “

Zhao Zhenxun, who was writing something on the itinerary, stopped his pen and glanced at Qi Cong before nodding. “OK.”

Zhao Zhenxun followed Shen Jia and Qi Cong upstairs. Qi Cong put the box on the table and looked at Zhao Zhenxun before saying, “I’ve gotten in a bit of trouble. I’ll try to solve it tonight. Although I think as long as I don’t say it, this trouble will not affect my real life and Jia Jia, I still think it is necessary for me to report it to you and Jia Jia.”

Shen Jia became anxious when he heard these words. “Brother Cong, what kind of trouble are you in? Is it Jiang Zhaoyan? “

Zhao Zhenxun frowned and said solemnly. “Speak clearly.”

“It’s not Jiang Zhaoyan, it’s something on the Internet.” Qi Cong appeased Shen Jia first and then looked at Zhao Zhenxun again. “Agent Zhao, I am Murmuring Water. Water Without a Trace wrote “Chivalrous Bones” by applying my plot framework and later adapted it into the TV show.”

After several seconds of silence, Zhao Zhenxun lost his temper for the first time in front of Qi Cong. “What did you say?”

 

 

Shen Jia brought the laptop and put it in front of Qi Cong, who turned on the computer and plugged in the hard drive.

The hard drive was old and reading the data inside took a little time. Shen Jia scratching his cheek anxiously. Zhao Zhenxun, who saw that Shen Jia couldn’t sit still, finally couldn’t stand it. He reached out and pulled him aside, then sat down beside Qi Cong.

“Are you sure about hammering him to death?”

When the hard disk was finally read successfully, Qi Cong quickly opened one of the large folders, searched according to the date, dug out several documents and a photo album, and scanned them at a glance. The hold on his mouse slightly loosened as he nodded. “Absolutely.”

 

 

After sorting out all the evidence, Qi Cong logged into the old website of JiangWan.com, and was ready to update the chapter and start today’s confrontation on Weibo.

As soon as the backstage page opened, several messages on the website appeared.

Qi Cong’s hand on the mouse slipped.

From the beginning, when he registered as an author, Qi Cong turned off the function of receiving messages from strangers in JiangWan.com. Now, only the old website of JiangWan.com can send short messages to him. There were only two accounts that he was friends with, one was with the official website account,and Water Without a Trace.

“What’s the matter?” Zhao Zhenxun asked.

Qi Cong didn’t speak and clicked on the messages.

Wu Heng: Stealing an account?

Wu Heng: Xiao Cong?

Wu Heng:  I’m glad you didn’t have an accident.

Wu Heng: I hope you are not angry.

Wu Heng: I’m sorry.

 

 

Wu Heng: If we continue to fight, the final result will only bring losses to both ends. Xiao Cong, I’ll give you two million yuan to settle this. Shall we?
