Chapter 678 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
At the same time, the screen on the birthday celebration suddenly went dark, then lit up again and started playing a video.
The video's audio started playing, instantly drowning out Zhou Xi's voice.
Everyone turned around at the sound, and the video playing was about Jiang Xiyu and Bai Chengci.
This was discovered by Zhou Xi's men, based on all the surveillance footage showing any interaction between Jiang Xiyu and Bai Chengci.
The first surveillance footage shows Bai Chengci returning to the hotel where Xu Yunzhi celebrated her birthday.
The second surveillance footage shows Xu Yunzhi trying to persuade Jiang Xiyu to stay after their breakup, and Bai Chengci taking the opportunity to sit next to Jiang Xiyu.
The third scene is at the hotel of the Firmo Racing Club...
Schools, shopping malls, bars, underground boxing gyms...
Wherever Jiang Xiyu went, Bai Chengci's presence was always seen.
When the video first started playing, the people present were somewhat confused.
But gradually, as the video played to the middle, the young men watching couldn't help but sigh. It was obvious that the further they watched, the more intimate the two people in the surveillance footage became.
It wasn't until the surveillance footage from G-NICE bar was played that it showed Jiang Xiyu taking Bai Chengci there that night.
Jiang Xiyu mixed drinks for him, took him clubbing, and played games with him. When Bai Chengci got tired, he leaned against Jiang Xiyu's chest, and Jiang Xiyu leaned back casually, not rejecting Bai Chengci's embrace, and even occasionally looking down to talk to him.
The intoxicating lighting, coupled with their intimate actions, made it appear from the surveillance footage that Jiang Xiyu and Bai Chengci were kissing.
The kissing-like scene lasted for several seconds, then suddenly, with a loud "bang," the area on the large screen where the bottle hit instantly dented inward, followed by cracks spreading, distorting the image, accompanied by the sound of a short circuit, and an indescribable burnt smell filling the air.
Seemingly finding the still-on display glaring, Xu Yunzhi grabbed a wine bottle from the table next to him and smashed it hard. Only when the screen went completely black did he turn around with red eyes and look at Bai Chengci questioningly.
The young men next to them realized what was happening and their eyes darted back and forth between Bai Chengci and Jiang Xiyu in disbelief.
Finally, someone couldn't help but whisper, "Wow, that's amazing."
"Those must be Jiang Xiyu and Bai Chengci..."
"How did those two end up together?!"
"Didn't they say they got into a fight at school a while ago? How come they looked like that in the security footage..."
Amid the murmurs, Xu Yunzhi, who had smashed the birthday screen, was trembling violently.
He demanded, "Why!"
He couldn't believe what he was seeing, but every scene in the surveillance footage seemed to have a clue, and he had to believe that the person he trusted most was secretly with the person he liked.
Therefore, in Xu Yunzhi's heart, what he smashed wasn't a wine bottle, but all the grievances, resentment, and heartbreak that had accumulated since the day he broke up with Jiang Xiyu. Under the influence of these surveillance cameras, those pent-up emotions were completely transformed into resentment towards the betrayal.
"Why! Brother Chengci..." Xu Yunzhi clenched her fists, her eyes red as she looked at Bai Chengci and said, "You know perfectly well, you know perfectly well how I feel about Brother Jiang... Why did you do this!"
Faced with Xu Yunzhi's questioning, Bai Chengci frowned, but subconsciously looked at Jiang Xiyu.
After Zhou Xi came in, Bai Chengci vaguely guessed what he would do, either directly reveal what happened in Shenzhen that day, or directly tell others about his relationship with Jiang Xiyu. However, she did not expect that Zhou Xi would collect so much surveillance footage to expose it.
For Bai Chengci, revealing this matter was nothing; in fact, he was more than happy to see it. But when the moment actually arrived, what he cared about most was Jiang Xiyu's feelings.
This is why, when he realized immediately that Zhou Xi was about to give a gift that was inappropriate, he stood in front of the gift.
Such a gathering, with so many people.
He was afraid of embarrassing Jiang Xiyu...
But Zhou Xi didn't care about any of that. The humiliation he suffered in Shenzhen, coupled with Jiang Xiyu's clear ties, had pushed him to his limit. He seemed unable to bear it any longer and wanted to destroy everything.
Zhou Xi's gaze swept over the surprised crowd and then landed on Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu didn't look at him, but Zhou Xi followed his gaze to Bai Chengci, his jaw tightening, and then he said mockingly, "Those two have been together for a long time."
That sentence seemed to answer everyone's doubts, and it also seemed to answer Xu Yunzhi, who was just one step away from being ignited.
"The rumors of discord are just an excuse to cover up their relationship." Zhou Xi said, looking at Xu Yunzhi, and said sarcastically, "Wherever Jiang Xiyu goes, your good friend follows. Perhaps they've had some other things going on without your knowledge."
"This surveillance footage only shows a small part of the story. Your best friend has even moved into the house of the person you like behind your back. I just don't know if it was before or after your breakup..."
These words clearly fueled Xu Yunzhi's anger. After hearing this, Xu Yunzhi felt extremely resentful, but she still stubbornly asked Bai Chengci, "Brother Chengci, is what he said true?"
As if the rest of the words were hard to say, Xu Yunzhi paused, her voice almost squeezed out from her throat, uttering each word through gritted teeth: "You really... really have something to do with Brother Jiang..."
Bai Chengci remained silent for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said a single word: "Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present had different expressions. Lu Ziqi was so angry that his blood rushed to his head, and he clenched his fists tightly, unable to resist the urge to step forward and punch someone.
Xu Yunzhi was faster than him, almost rushing towards Bai Chengci, and punched Bai Chengci hard in the face.
Bai Chengci didn't dodge, and took the punch head-on, staggering a few steps backward.
Xu Yunzhi roared, "You know perfectly well how much I like him, how could you, how could you do this to me!"
"I was so stupid to beg you for help, do you think I'm an idiot?!"
He grew up with Bai Chengci and always trusted him. From childhood, he had always regarded Bai Chengci as his role model and even as his older brother. So he was willing to tell him everything, including his feelings about men.
He trusted Bai Chengci's character, but he never expected that Bai Chengci would actually like Jiang Xiyu.
When did it start?
Xu Yunzhi tried hard to recall if it started from the night of his birthday, as seen in the surveillance footage. Or was it because he had been seeking help from Bai Chengci during the time he broke up with Jiang Ge, which led to their interaction?
When Xu Yunzhi couldn't figure it out, Zhou Xi's last words, "I don't know if it was before or after the breakup," amplified Xu Yunzhi's jealousy after watching the video to the extreme.
Xu Yun belatedly realized that all that so-called help and comfort was just because this person had already gotten involved with the person he liked, and that, without his knowledge, had been secretly and recklessly provoking him.
He asked Bai Chengci for help, telling Bai Chengci everything about Jiang Xiyu's whereabouts.
As a result, Bai Chengci not only poached his employees from behind his back, but also openly and secretly competed for them.
Xu Yunzhi felt incredibly stupid, so stupid that he couldn't help but laugh at himself. He then raised his fist and lunged at Bai Chengci.
"Bai Chengci! You fucking bastard!"
