Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 118 - 91: The Neighbor Across the Hall

Although the money had been privately returned, that man did not stop harassing Zhu Hong.

He even intensified his actions after obtaining private contact information.

Whenever the man was free, he would message Zhu Hong, whether it was day or night.

If Zhu Hong didn’t reply, he would call her.

In the end, with no other choice, Zhu Hong had to block him.

[And then? Did this measure work?]

[Are you stupid? If it worked, the streamer wouldn’t have died.]

[Perhaps blocking him only further infuriated him. This was indeed unfortunate and rash; otherwise, it might not have resulted in this outcome.]

[??? Are you seriously victim blaming right now? Didn’t you hear what the streamer said? The guy was already harassing her day and night; she couldn’t just keep chatting with him, right?]

[Exactly, talking to such people even a little might make them think you like them.]

Mu Yunchu shook her head, "Blocking him didn’t work."

The man somehow got hold of many phone numbers; every time Zhu Hong blocked one, he would call with another number and even went into her live stream room to smear her name.

This greatly affected Zhu Hong’s normal life.

During that time, she was suffering deeply.

[Oh my god, this kind of man is terrifying; is he insane?]

[Just hearing about it makes me feel immense sympathy for Zhu Hong’s plight. When I wanted to break up with my ex-boyfriend, he was unwilling, and it took great effort and energy. Now, thinking back, I’m almost grateful he didn’t harm me.]

[There’s a saying, isn’t there? Don’t spend a poor man’s money because it’s like taking their life. If you take their life, they’ll want yours.]

[But she didn’t actually spend it... didn’t she return it to him?]

[That’s even worse; in his eyes, it was an insult to his dignity.]

[So, did the murderer kill her for this reason???]

Mu Yunchu nodded.

"More or less."

"Zhu Hong ultimately blocked him on all platforms, even changed her phone number, just to barely get a few days of peace."

After all, they didn’t live in the same city, and they’d never met in real life, so Zhu Hong thought she’d finally shaken him off.

[Even though it might be inappropriate to mention this now, and there’s no intention to blame the victim, I just want to remind everyone that people nowadays can be quite volatile, and there are too many mixed individuals online. Please protect your privacy, especially your home address.]

If the murderer didn’t know where Zhu Hong lived, nothing he wanted to do would have been possible.

Mu Yunchu suddenly spoke: "Zhu Hong never disclosed her home address to anyone."

Perhaps due to becoming independent early, she was very cautious around strangers; becoming a streamer wasn’t something she would ever do unless forced by circumstances.

She had met some fans in private, but it was always in public places.

Netizens were puzzled.

[Then how could...]

At this point, someone finally realized what Mu Yunchu had been suggesting from the beginning.

Someone had a life on their conscience...

The man was brought in by her...

[! No way! Could it be that she was the one who gave Zhu Hong’s address to the murderer?]

This revelation seemed to connect everything from the start of the stream until now.

If that’s the case, it explains why Mu Yunchu held that attitude toward Xia Ling from the beginning.

[I feel like you’ve discovered the truth!]

[But how did she know Zhu Hong’s address; could it be they knew each other in real life?]

[That can’t be it, the streamer just said Zhu Hong never gave anyone her address.]

Mu Yunchu glanced coldly at Xia Ling and gave an answer that shocked everyone again, "Because they happened to be doorstep neighbors."

[!!!]

At first, Xia Ling didn’t know Zhu Hong lived right across from her.

Their lifestyles were surprisingly similar; sleeping during the day and working at night.

Both were quite ’reclusive’, not going out unless necessary.

Perhaps they had crossed paths once or twice before but likely didn’t remember, as people pass by hundreds or thousands of strangers daily.

But after Zhu Hong enrolled in a dance class, her time out during the day increased.

By chance, Xia Ling saw her one day while out shopping for groceries.

She confirmed her identity in a matter of seconds.

Initially, Xia Ling didn’t think much of it, just found it a remarkable coincidence.

She felt guilty, so she wanted to keep her identity concealed, not letting Zhu Hong find out.

But when she saw the man persistently bothering Zhu Hong in the live chat, Xia Ling suddenly thought of a way to make money.

She proactively contacted the man.

And received a 500 yuan reward for it.

After getting the money, Xia Ling thought she had nothing to do with it anymore and completely put it out of her mind.

The relationship between the two people evolved without her involvement.

Her days also returned to calm as before.

Until today when Mu Yunchu started live streaming...

[This was truly a hefty price; you got 500 yuan, while that young girl lost her life.]

[Damn! How could you do that? Selling someone else’s address, how is that different from being a murderer?]

[I didn’t know there were such malicious people in the world, truly eye-opening today.]

[I finally understand what it means that one’s face reflects their heart; and ugly people cause much trouble, you epitomize these sayings entirely.]

...

It’s uncertain if Xia Ling saw so many people scolding her.

She was hanging her head, vehemently shaking it, muttering repeatedly:

"It wasn’t me."

"It wasn’t me."

"This has nothing to do with me."

"It’s the grudge between them!"

[Check out what I posted in the group; her misdeeds go beyond what the streamer just mentioned!]

Everyone rushed into the fan group at the sound, discovering a post from a netizen on a Weibo topic.

The rumors about Zhu Hong hadn’t been fully resolved, but many people, hearing Mu Yunchu’s words during the live stream, felt compelled to refute those baseless allegations.

As more people spoke up for Zhu Hong, casual observers realized they’d been deceived. Focus shifted to the original rumor spreaders—the so-called neighbors.

Then someone noticed: the account saying the most vicious things, fabricating stories about Zhu Hong’s relationships, belonged to Xia Ling’s alt account!
