Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

The feedback came very quickly.

The staff pointed to the computer and reported the situation clearly in detail.

"The reason why the rumors have resurfaced is because of a sudden remark made by Emily's sister, which has led to misunderstandings among netizens."

The head of the public relations department pulled up the live stream clips and watched them repeatedly.

She crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

I had a vague feeling that something was off, like it was being done on purpose.

Just then, another staff member knocked on the door and came in, holding a newly printed data report.

"Sister Xue,"

He spoke urgently, “We have detected abnormalities in the interaction data under the topic of ‘Tokino and Emily’s Relationship’ in the last three hours.”

The large number of newly registered accounts and users with blank profile pictures flooding the screen is clearly an organized operation by online trolls.

He handed over the report and added, "They are not only hyping up the topic, but also deliberately guiding the content about the couple, trying their best to push the two of them in the direction of 'ambiguity' and 'secret relationship'."

Sister Xue took the report and quickly glanced at it.

The online troll accounts were densely packed together, and their posts were so uniform that they looked like a copied and pasted script.

She snorted and threw the report on the table.

"What's wrong?"

She couldn't help but speak, her voice filled with confusion and annoyance, "These two have had absolutely no interaction except for that variety show episode half a year ago."

They barely made eye contact on the show, and the editing couldn't produce any sparks.

Now, are we really going to force them to be a couple?

She stood up, walked to the window, then turned back, her thoughts becoming clearer and clearer.

"This is not a simple matter."

She said, "It doesn't seem like ordinary gossip is fermenting; it's more like someone is deliberately stirring up trouble."

She suddenly stopped, turned around and ordered, "Go and find out what happened, starting with Emily's team."

Look at her sister, why did she suddenly say that? Who instructed her, or... who orchestrated it?

Shi Ye is an outsider, although he has recently gained a lot of popularity.

But after the show ends, he will go back to being a race car driver and will have no further connection with the entertainment industry.

After all, his main business is in the racing industry, not making a living from it.

There's no need to hype this up out of nowhere.

But it's quite intriguing that online trolls insist on dragging people into this mess.

Xuejie suddenly remembered some of the recent rumors about Emily.

This tactic... is quite common in the entertainment industry. They try to drag someone out as a scapegoat to divert public attention and cover up the real focus.

Hopefully, it's not what she thinks.

Otherwise, Tokino would be truly innocent.

The staff member quickly nodded and went to do what Sister Xue had asked them to do.

……

On the other side.

Charlene and her friends have already begun the challenge.

As soon as the starting whistle blew, several groups rushed to the rock face and began to climb upwards with all their might.

Several groups of people had received prior notice and had a general idea of ​​the challenge.

However, not everyone has enough time for targeted training.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Charlene's side had a clear advantage.

Her movements were fluid, her hands and feet coordinated perfectly, and she gripped each point firmly and accurately. Not only was she fast, but she also knew how to adjust her breathing and allocate her energy.

In the higher sections, she would consciously relax her shoulders and arms, choose the least strenuous route, conserve her energy for the final steep ascent.

The rock face set up by the production team was quite challenging, roughly estimated to be at least fifteen meters high.

Many guests started struggling shortly after the start; some lost their rhythm, while others repeatedly tried the same spot, wasting their energy.

Charlene maintained a steady pace throughout, coming prepared and advancing step by step, her small figure making her particularly eye-catching.

Of course, this only applies to the very beginning.

Charlene was, after all, a girl, and naturally couldn't compare to the physical strength of the men in the other teams.

Not to mention, there are also professionals like athletes involved.

At the start of the match, she was able to keep up with their pace and even took the lead at one point.

But as time went on, her pace slowed down, and her rivals overtook her one by one.

In the end, she only got fourth place.

When she came down, Charlene's eyes showed a hint of disappointment and guilt.

She walked up to Shi Ye and said softly, "I'm sorry, Shi Ye-nii. You take me to training every day, and I'm holding you back."

Tokino chuckled, his eyes gentle. "Taking you to training is just to practice your skills and prevent injury during matches."

He explained, his tone relaxed yet firm, "Winning or losing is secondary, don't take it too seriously."

"Then, we just need to win back the other projects."

Charlene looked up at Shi Ye's encouraging smile, and the gloom in her heart gradually dissipated.

She nodded, a determined smile curving her lips. "Okay, I will definitely try my best."

Just then, the camera happened to be focused on the two of them.

Charlene's hair swayed gently in the breeze, Shi Ye's gaze was soft, and sunlight shone on the two of them. The whole scene seemed to stand still, exuding a sense of tranquility.

The recording equipment naturally captured their conversation as they spoke.

The screen was immediately flooded with question marks.

"What does this conversation mean? Did the two of them even train for this sport privately?"

"Obviously, is it rolled like this?"

Leonardo's voice is a little hoarse from shouting encouragement from below.

At this moment, his curiosity was piqued, and he couldn't help but lean over and ask, "You guys really went to practice rock climbing?"

Charlene nodded slightly and said softly, "A few days ago, I had classes during the day, and Brother Shi Ye would come to pick me up in the evening to go out for training."

Leondo couldn't help but exclaim, "You've worked so hard! I'm truly ashamed of myself!"

Just then, Emily and her sister walked over, their faces showing a hint of disappointment.

Emily exclaimed, "We lost again? Are we going to be at the bottom of the competition from start to finish?"

Her older sister chimed in, her tone a mix of helplessness and amusement, "Xia Lin, Shi Ye, you always win, can't you let us win a little? Give us a chance!"

Emily chuckled and replied, "Yes, it's so boring to always win! Right? You have to experience the feeling of losing sometimes."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ye calmly replied, "Our fourth place doesn't count as a win! If anyone should concede, it should be the first place team!"

The older sister smiled slightly awkwardly and quickly tried to cover it up, "That makes sense. Who was in first place again? We were so nervous in mid-air that we didn't even notice the rankings."

As she spoke, she curiously turned her head to look at the others, trying to find the answer in the crowd.

Just as she turned around, her arm accidentally bumped into Emily.

Emily was focused on the conversation and caught off guard. She stumbled and lost her balance, falling towards Shino's direction.
