Ch91 - Karma Will Happen In The End

In order to make it easier to discuss the situation, Lu Xu ran over to Ji Xiunian’s room in the middle of the night, and the two of them waited together for Tao Yingbo’s good news.

Ji Xiunian originally wanted to wait until three o’clock, but when Lu Xu arrived, he inexplicably fell asleep peacefully. Right before the 3 A.M. alarm sounded, he heard Lu Xu say next to him, “Nian ge, wake up and take a look at this livestream.”

“Livestream?” Ji Xiunian opened his eyes blearily, and saw Lu Xu by his side on the bed looking at the iPad. His two little legs were hooked up and he was subconsciously flexing his ankles, his skin pale to the point of being blinding.

Ji Xiunian suddenly felt a little thirsty, and thought it might be because he had just opened his eyes.

He got up and scooted over to Lu Xu’s side, emulating Lu Xu as he flipped himself over. The two of them watched the iPad parallel to each other.

Qu Dehui’s name was on the upper left corner of the screen. Ji Xiunian hadn’t thought he would start a livestream at this time.

“Nian ge, don’t you think this counts as offering up your own head?”

Lu Xu’s expression was full of expectation for the show he was about to watch. He propped up his face with one hand, showing a mischievous smile.

The youth’s body carried a fragrant scent; it was cold, but also made people want to sample it’s delicacy. In the beginning, Ji Xiunian had thought Lu Xu had been using some kind of perfume, but after interacting with him more, he had realised it was just his natural scent.

It was no wonder his gaze couldn’t help but be attracted to Lu Xu. He then nodded towards the screen. “Yes, he’s gifting his own head.”

At this moment, Qu Dehui had completely forgotten about everyone else, and only wanted his fans to see that he hadn’t been lying.

Ever since he had remembered that person, he always had the feeling that that incident had to be related to this.

“If you don’t do evil deeds, you shouldn’t fear ghosts knocking on your door.”

It was a phrase Lu Xu had casually said, but Qu Dehui uncontrollably thought about it over and over again.

Just as his thoughts were going wild, a movement suddenly occurred outside the door.

Qu Dehui immediately stood up and rushed forward with his phone, not forgetting to tell his fans in the livestream room, “You guys heard that right, he’s here again!”

Without much time to think, Qu Dehui reached his hand out to pull the door open. As expected, it was completely empty outside.

But this time, he didn’t think there wasn’t anyone around him, but instead felt that that ‘person’ had actually already entered his room.

“I know you’re there, come out!” Qu Dehui was struck on the forehead and he looked around suspiciously,his hand covering his forehead. He couldn’t hold back from shouting out.

The fans in the livestream room were somewhat disorderly, not understanding what had suddenly happened—

[Cry cry cry, male god’s reaction is a bit strange, it seems like there’s actually a ghost, I’m so scared]

[Uh, did everyone see the scattered alcohol bottles all over the floor? How much did Hui ge drink?]

[I’m dizzy, Hui ge you’re drunk, go rest and stop livestreaming!]

The fans were frantic, fearing that his current state would be used by others to blacken his image.

However, Qu Dehui was currently in a state of confusion and wasn’t interested at all in looking at the screen of his phone.

His mind was on high alert, continuously turning around because of the feeling that there was someone behind him. Finally, he decided he might as well sit with his back to the wall and watch all the corners with vigilance.

“It’s you, it has to be you.”

At this point, Qu Dehui was very sure there was a ghost. After connecting the past events, he instinctively felt that that person was Tao something something. But it had already been ten years, and he had even forgotten his name.

He was just a commoner who wrote songs without any power nor rights. It wasn’t like he hadn’t given him any money at that time. It was his decision to not appreciate it and instead seek death. How was this related to Qu Dehui?

Moreover, that person couldn’t do anything to him when he was alive, so he really wouldn’t be able to do anything to him after death.

“That’s right, laozi isn’t afraid of you!” Qu Dehui forced himself to stay strong with much difficulty, making his shoulders relax.

It was at this time that movement suddenly occurred in the bathroom. Qu Dehui didn’t even think about it before rushing inside, wanting to square up with Tao Yingbo.

The bathroom was spacious and clean, and all of it could be seen with just one glance. There was no hint of a person.

Qu Dehui was stunned to a halt and suddenly felt that an extra shadow had appeared in the mirror. He grasped his phone tightly and turned around violently, just to see that the person inside the mirror was not himself.

He dangled his phone in front and yelled towards the reflection, “I knew it was you!”

Tao Yingbo glanced at his phone screen, and smiled sarcastically. “I thought you would forget me after doing bad deeds for so many years.”

“I obviously forgot long ago. You weren’t some important character, why would I remember you?” As Qu Dehui spoke, his courage suddenly grew. “What, you thought I would be afraid of you?”

Tao Yingbo was too familiar with that boisterous expression. No matter if he was alive or dead, Qu Dehui had always been that kind of person who had no concept of respect.

If it hadn’t been for the fact that Lu Xu had ordered him to not do anything to him, Tao Yingbo would have really wanted to strangle him to death.

“If you’re already dead, then you should go where dead people should go. Are you bothering me in hopes that I burn you some joss paper?”

“No, I merely wanted to see how the little thief who stole my things would fall from the top.” Tao Yingbo suddenly felt that the person in front of him was somewhat ridiculous, and continued, “You think you’re so great, but without my songs, you’re nothing. You must mind it a lot. Everyone says your talent has declined, says you’re just a glory past its prime. They’re all wrong. You’re just a thief, and everything you have is stolen from others. There’s no talent to speak of…”

“Shut up!” Qu Dehui only felt that this was grating to his ears.

Someone like him who loved his face so much couldn’t accept the disdainful gazes of others.

“I gave them all money, so how come I’m a thief. Anyways, your songs originally had no fame. It was only because I sang them into popularity after spending the money to make them into an album. I’m the one who made your songs popular, not your songs that helped me in becoming popular, okay?”

Up until now, Qu Dehui was very sensitive to others saying that he had relied on his first album to become popular. It seemed like he was absolutely nothing without those songs.

It was he who had sang those songs, and also he who had produced that album.

If not for him, songs as beautiful asTao Yingbo’s would never have been heard by others.

Tao Yingbo was aware that Qu Dehui was shameless, but he hadn’t thought he had already fallen to this degree of shamelessness.

“Do you want me to apologise to you? Let me tell you, don’t even think about it. I haven’t done anything wrong, if I sang it then it’s mine!” Qu Dehui’s voice was strained. It was unclear whether he was speaking to Tao Yingbo or himself.

Tao Yingbo didn’t think this was strange, but suddenly felt that this person’s words were not interesting in the slightest. “I don’t need your apology. In reality, when you did those things, you already harmed me. An apology has no use and I won’t accept it.” Tao Yingbo had no intention of saying any nonsense. He originally wanted to record his words, but he didn’t think the other would already start up a livestream. The words he had just said had all been recorded by the netizens online.

“There will always be karma for evil deeds. What’s mine is mine. No matter what methods you use, you can’t steal it away.” These words had been buried in Tao Yingbo’s heart for too long. The moment he finally said it today, his long-held resentment suddenly vanished like smoke.

His expressionless face made Qu Dehui extremely uncomfortable. He immediately used his phone to smash against the mirror. “Get out!”

Tao Yingbo had no interest in interacting with a crazy person. He left long before the moment the phone made contact with the mirror.

Lu Xu and Ji Xiunian watched the iPad with their heads put together, they felt that Qu Dehui’s behaviour was a little abnormal.

The moment the phone made contact with the mirror, the livestream broke off. It had probably stopped working.

“Tsk tsk tsk.” Although Lu Xu knew they could pretty much deal with this person tonight, he didn’t think the other would be so willing to cooperate.

He cupped his face with one hand and left the livestream to look at the netizens’ comments.

As he expected, although it was three in the morning, there were many people who stayed up all night.

Qu Dehui was already very famous. Along with the fact that he had just gone on the hot topics, he had been put on the recommended list the moment he had begun his livestream.

Everyone had originally entered his livestream to see him stream who was knocking on his door in the middle of the night. Fans wanted to keep him company and figure out what exactly was going on.

But after they finished watching the entire thing, the situation didn’t seem that simple—

[@Natural Strawberry Pie: I’ve become dumb. What did he mean by what he just said? Did he use other people’s songs and put them out as his own album?]

[@Ferris Wheel Break-Up Wheel: I originally wanted to keep a singer I liked company in order to figure out what was going on, but never in my dreams would I imagine that I would be keeping him company until the house collapsed. I just want to ask, what he was saying just now, did he mean that he had stolen other people’s songs and caused their deaths? I feel like this kind of scenario is too fantastical. Even novels don’t dare write it like this]

[@A Lot Of Hair: He’s really not as he appears. Although I’m not a fan, I’ve always had a pretty good impression of Qu Dehui and really liked his earliest songs. Who would’ve thought that the songs that made him famous were someone else’s. He even admitted to it on a livestream, that’s also a certain kind of talent]

Almost everyone thought there was something wrong with Qu Dehui psychologically.

During the entire livestream, there had been absolutely no one else there. He had been playing two roles the entire time, talking the entire time.

If they hadn’t heard themselves what he was saying, who could’ve found evidence that the Composer King had stolen other people’s works?

Past events immediately seemed to clear up—

No wonder his debut was the peak of his career and he hadn’t released any good work since his first album.

No wonder his composition skills went from good to bad. It turned out that the people writing the songs were all different.

And seeing his attitude the past two days, it was obvious he had been feeling guilty.

From the supposed ghost knocking on his door to the conversation with the person in the mirror, it all seemed like a part of his hallucinations.

These hallucinations made others realise his true identity. Everyone’s feelings were very complicated—

Fans thought that their own houses had collapsed. Passer-bys were suddenly curious as to who the original owner of the album was.

From Qu Dehui’s words, they understood that the person had died not long after he had stolen the album. Whether or not it was an accident or something else, probably only they knew themselves.

Almost everyone was looking for the original composer, thinking that this person must be very talented—

It was just that such a strong composer had left before even being recognised. It truly made others pity him.
