Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

Chapter 223: Hand-Delivered Leverage

At that moment, the roar of a Ferrari engine sounded at the gate.

The two of them hurried outside. A Ferrari 458 with a dented front end was parked at the entrance of the villa.

Wang Tianqi staggered out of the car. The passenger-side door also opened, and a scantily clad woman stepped out.

Li Juan walked over and was hit by the strong stench of alcohol on Wang Tianqi. For some reason, Li Juan, who had always doted on her son, felt a surge of uncontrollable anger and slapped him hard across the face.

SMACK!

The crisp sound of the slap echoed.

Wang Tianqi stared at his mother in disbelief, standing frozen and speechless.

"Xiaoxiao, call the police and turn yourself in!"

After speaking, Li Juan glared hatefully at Wang Tianqi. "Get inside!"

Then, Li Juan turned to the beautiful woman who was standing there, at a loss. She frowned and said, "You too! Get inside!"

Once the two had gone inside, Li Juan turned to Xiaoxiao with a smile. "Xiaoxiao, did you make the call?"

Seeing Xiaoxiao nod, Li Juan said, "Quick, get in the car! Touch the steering wheel and everything to leave your fingerprints. That’s how we’ll make this flawless."

Xiaoxiao did as he was told and got into the car. He then heard Li Juan say, "Turn on the AC and air it out! Get rid of the smell of alcohol!"

"Don’t look so worried. When you get out, this car is yours."

「...」

After settling things with Xiaoxiao, Li Juan turned and walked into the villa.

"And what should I call you?" Li Juan asked, her expression softening as she looked at the woman in black.

"Ma’am, my name is Sun Rui." Having just witnessed Li Juan’s fury, Sun Rui answered timidly.

"Don’t be afraid! I just want to tell you something. Tonight, all that happened was you two had some drinks and then came back to our villa in the car. Do you understand? There’s 100,000 yuan on this card. The PIN is 123456. It’s a little spending money from me."

Sun Rui, being someone who frequented nightclubs, was no fool. She immediately understood what Li Juan meant.

Knowing the power these wealthy people wielded, she reached out and took the bank card.

"Ah, what a smart girl!" Li Juan said, nodding in satisfaction.

But when she turned and saw Wang Tianqi, the anger she had suppressed flared up again. "Get over here! You disgraceful son!"

「...」

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ~

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ~

Wu Yun groggily heard his phone vibrating. He gently lifted Qi Fei’s fair arm off his chest, grabbed the phone, and walked out of the room.

"Hello? Wei Wu! What’s wrong!?" Wu Yun glanced at the time. It was two in the morning.

Wei Wu’s voice was filled with anger. "Boss! That Wang Tianqi was in a drunk driving hit-and-run! He killed two people!"

Wu Yun froze for a moment, then sighed internally, ’Heaven is on my side!’

"Did you get it all on video?" Wu Yun remembered the pair of System-issued glasses he had given to Wei Wu.

Wei Wu’s voice was tinged with excitement. "I did! I recorded everything from when he started drinking to when he drove home."

"Including the scene of the car crash."

Wei Wu was amazed by the high-tech gear Wu Yun had given him. The battery life was incredible; it had only used a quarter of its power so far.

"Excellent! Come pick me up now. We’re going to an internet cafe!"

Soon, Wei Wu arrived at the entrance of Cofco Seaview No.1.

The two of them found the nearest internet cafe.

"Attendant! We need to open an account! But we don’t have our IDs with us, can you give us a temporary one?" Wu Yun was wearing loose pajamas and a baseball cap.

Since it was autumn, Wu Yun’s attire didn’t surprise the attendant.

"Sorry! We require an ID here," the attendant said.

Wu Yun pulled out a hundred-yuan bill and said, "We only need about an hour. We’ll leave when we’re done. Keep the change!"

"Alright, sir. One moment."

The attendant took an ID card that had been left at the counter, swiped it, and copied down the ID number for Wu Yun.

On the way over, Wu Yun had already called Wu Ying and her colleague, explaining the whole situation. He also told them his demand: to make the video a trending topic. They were to immediately contact an online water army and buy a trending spot, ensuring it would be a Weibo headline by the next morning.

As for confidentiality, Wu Ying and her partner were professionals; they knew how to release the information without leaving a trace.

After turning on the computer, Wu Yun first imported the video. He registered a new QQ account and then emailed the video to the water army Wu Ying had contacted.

Then, he searched for keywords like "Modu," joined a lot of groups, and after waiting a bit, posted the original video directly into the groups he was accepted into.

To be thorough, Wu Yun also registered a new Baidu Tieba account. He tried posting a short, edited clip of Wang Tianqi—from drinking to the crash to his return home—on more official-leaning forums like the Modu bar, Huaxia bar, and police bar, including a download link for the full, original video.

All of this took another hour or so.

On the way back, Wu Yun said to Wei Wu with a smile, "Great work! Send me your bank account number. I’ll send you a big red envelope tomorrow!"

Wei Wu scratched the back of his head and said with a laugh, "Boss, I was just doing my job. Besides, I wish I could kill scum like him myself! It was pure luck that I ran into him today."

Wu Yun thought to himself, ’It’s true. I didn’t even have to use a Misfortune Talisman for Wei Wu to run into a situation like this.’

"Luck is a part of strength! When you get back to the apartment, remember to send me your account number! The offer expires soon!"

"Okay, Boss!" Wei Wu hadn’t expected such a bonus and happily agreed.

Back home, Wu Yun lay on his bed and bought a Heat Amplifier from the System Shop. It was cheap, only a hundred thousand, and was designed to boost the popularity of a specific post or video.

Next, Wu Yun used an Advanced Misfortune Card on Wang Tianqi.

Having done all this, Wu Yun comfortably wrapped his arms around Qi Fei and drifted off to sleep.

「...」

"Name!" a stern-faced, middle-aged police officer sitting across from Xiaoxiao asked in a deep voice.

"Xiao Yuanshan!"

"Sex!"

Xiaoxiao looked up at the officer interrogating him and obediently answered, "Male!"

"Age!"

"28!"

...

"You’ve got some nerve! Why did you flee the scene of the accident?" The middle-aged officer glanced at Xiaoxiao, then suddenly slammed his hand on the table, startling the officer taking notes.

"Speak! Who are you taking the fall for?! We run a check on this car and we’ll know it’s not yours!"

Xiaoxiao’s expression didn’t change. He looked at the middle-aged officer and slowly recited the story they had agreed upon earlier: "My boss’s son drove to the bar today, then called me tonight to drive the car back. Since I’m the family’s driver, I had to go get it."

"But it was my first time driving a sports car, so I was a little excited and nervous. I ended up making a mistake. The car was going a bit too fast, and I couldn’t brake in time."

Xiaoxiao had watched the footage from the car’s dashcam, and after watching it, he formatted the device.

"I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have run away after hitting someone! But I remembered it wasn’t my car, and I got scared!" Thinking about the guilt he felt toward his mother and family, Xiaoxiao covered his face and began to cry.

Before Xiaoxiao could fully commit to his performance, the interrogation room door was pushed open.

"Captain! You have to see this video!"
