There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem

Chapter 101

The catfighting incident continued to stew, and although the male leads used their connections to clear away all the porn manhua from the internet immediately after they went offline, many of the resourceful netizens had already saved screenshots of it. Thus... The only thing that could be said was—accept your fate.

Thanks to Dreaming Continent's popularity, the livestream of the Zerg Queen boss fight spread around at a formidable speed. The Wang Shu who was mentioned in Jun Zhenzhen's last few sentences was deeply investigated by the netizens. Not even two days later, Gentleman's Pavilion was closed for investigation and Jun Shujing was invited to the police station. Wang Shu's big backer had withdrawn when he saw that things were getting out of hand, leaving Wang Shu and Jun Shujing, who had previously run roughshod over everyone while leaving behind a pile of black history, to accompany each other.

The reason why the protagonist developed so well was because of Wang Shu's big backer's protection, the accumulated in-game wealth and the support of the male leads in reality. Now Wang Shu couldn't even help himself since his big backer had already pulled out. Her in-game business was done for, the male leads also hated her to the bone. Even if she thought of something right now, she was already on the brink of death.

The Imperial Feast recipe left by Jun Shujing's mother was taken away as evidence. Ye Zhizhou used Ge Lu's connections to get his hands on the recipes and found that the dishes on it were all normal, but hidden within the cover were many poison formulas. From the title, this should've been made by an ancient concubine who wanted to win the emperor's heart, so she carefully found someone to make this.

It seemed like everything was sorted out, but it actually wasn't.

Ye Zhizhou once again opened the plot information and looked over it carefully. He found that the protagonist and Wang Shu were actually just chess pieces. The chosen seven male leads might have been due to the protagonist's preference, but it should've been influenced by the big back from behind the scenes. In the original plot, the huge wealth accumulated by the protagonist was destroyed because of a batch of problematic game pods which also implicated the seven male leads who had invested in her. Now that he thought about it, it seemed too suspicious. Although the seven male leads were a little brain-damaged after being poisoned, they shouldn't have been so brain damaged as to allow problematic game pods that didn't meet standards to enter the market. And when the protagonist was sent overseas by the male leads, she lived a little too unrestrainedly. After she left China, it seemed like she was no longer afraid of the domestic investigation. And where did she get the qualifications and resources to meet with the political leader and munitions tycoon? And then easily change her identity and flee to another country? What happened to the seven male leads who stayed in the home country? Why was there no explanation in the plot at all?

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and the more he questioned it. He held the mentality of better safe than sorry, and so, he secretly revealed the news to the seven male leads—that there might be some people behind the protagonist that wanted to dig a hole for them. The male leads who were in the middle of a public relations crisis became alarmed when they received the news, and quickly contacted their family elders. Half a month later, Ye Zhizhou received some information back. It seemed that the big backer had made a mistake and left a trace of themselves in Gentleman's Pavilions rapid development and expansion.

The information that the male leads gave him was too vague. No matter what, Ye Zhizhou couldn't find out why the big backer needed to use the protagonist to deal with the seven male leads. Ultimately, it was Ge Lu who was more useful, straightforwardly telling him everything. The big backer was actually a spy. His purpose of mixing in with the upper class was to disrupt the domestic economy and political stability. The protagonist's role was just him testing the waters. He was the first one to figure out that the poison in the protagonist's hands had a bewitching effect.
