Qi Congyun collapsed to the ground, no longer struggling.

"Why do you think R Continent hasn't made a move yet?" Shangguan Du looked at her coldly.

Li Zheng quickly investigated Qi Congyun, Qiao Mujin, and others for suspected murder and illegal activities such as trafficking in hazardous materials.

The official Weibo account of the Serious Crimes Unit issued a notice.

The trending topics have also completely changed.

Qiao Mujin's involvement in a murder case caused her to fall from grace and become infamous.

It was jointly banned by the State Administration of Radio and Television and all social media platforms.

Qi Congyun is under investigation for involvement in murder and illegal transactions.

At first, Qiao Mujin's fans were still desperately trying to make a comeback.

But seeing the Major Crimes Unit put all the irrefutable evidence on Weibo...

Human life is something that everyone opposes.

Selling dangerous materials is an even more heinous crime deserving of death!

Public opinion has completely shifted.

Li Zheng showed these to Qi Congyun, but she had no interest in looking at them now, staring blankly at the comments.

Have these celebrities lost all sense of decency? Don't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch. They're even willing to risk human life; they deserve to be beaten.

Are our lives so worthless in your hands?

The thought of making a funeral portrait for Gu Qingyan for Qiao Mujin makes me feel like I'm being used as a pawn; I'm such an idiot.

Gu Qingyan didn't slap the wrong person.

Weibo has launched a new round of public opinion battles.

However, this time all the guns were pointed at Qiao Mujin, Qi Congyun, Chang Yu, and the others, with a barrage of insults.

More and more scandals about hibiscus have surfaced.

A prominent online figure further elaborated on the events: "Surely no one is unaware of the whole story. Qiao Mujin left the set of 'Drunken Rouge' without explanation, disrupting filming. Later, disliking Gu Qingyan, she sent her sugar daddy to the set to frame Gu Qingyan for seducing him. Gu Qingyan retaliated and beat Qiao Mujin, and Qiao Mujin tried to use this as an excuse to expel Gu Qingyan from the set. However, Feng Hua refused to succumb to capital and firmly chose Gu Qingyan, leading to the subsequent investments from the Sheng family, the Shangguan family, and Yun Jin."

A popular online commenter, YuLe, wrote: "Surely there's still someone who doesn't know that Qiao Mujin directly brought her own investment to the production and snatched the lead actress from a drama that was already in production. Get rid of her!"

[I knew Feng Hua had guts; you deserve this good fortune.]

How exactly did Qiao Mujin become famous?

If I remember correctly, quite a few celebrities had previously publicly criticized Gu Qingyan because of her, right?

Tag them all; I want to get to know them.

Every single post on Weibo is about Qiao Mujin and Qi Congyun.

Meanwhile, those celebrities who had previously sided with Qiao Mujin and Qi Congyun quietly deleted their Weibo posts and unfollowed the two.

Unfortunately, netizens didn't buy it, so he had no choice but to turn off comments on his Weibo account and keep a low profile.

The car was parked in front of Beiyu Mansion.

Gu Qingyan replied to the message, "It's nothing."

Over there, Gu Yun's face was full of worry. "Then be careful. I heard from Gu Ruo that you were injured?"

Gu Qingyan glanced down at her hand, recalling the look the police captain had given her. That kid was in disguise. [It's just a minor injury, nothing serious.]

No, I'll come find you later.

I have to go back to the film set tomorrow.

What about tomorrow night?

Gu Qingyan knew this person's temperament, pinched the bridge of her nose, and said, "Okay."

Gu Qingyan did not reply to the message.

Sheng Jinheng got out of the car, opened the car door, and watched Gu Qingyan get into the elevator.

After thinking for a moment, his gaze fell on Shangguan Du beside him. "Brother Du, I didn't expect you to be so dedicated to the task my second brother entrusted to you. You're a true friend! Let me treat you to a drink..."

"I have to go now."

Before Sheng Jinheng could react, Shangguan Du gave Xie Shiren a look.

Xie Shiren floored the accelerator and disappeared into the night.

Sheng Jinheng: "..."

After half an hour.

Sheng Jinheng sat in the car and saw more than a dozen messages sent by Sheng Xuanyue.

He chuckled, his eyes turning cold, and then made a phone call.

"Third Brother, how is Qingyan? Is she alright?"

Hearing Sheng Xuanyue's worried voice, Sheng Jinheng remained unmoved; in fact, a hint of impatience flickered in his proud eyes.

"You really want to know? Why don't you just ask your best friend?"

"Third brother, what are you talking about? I don't understand. We're family, of course I care about you!"

Sheng Xuanyue concealed the resentment in her eyes, stood on the balcony, and her voice was tinged with sobs.

"I also believe that Qingyan wouldn't hit someone for no reason."

Sheng Jinheng's words, one by one, gradually chilled Sheng Xuanyue's heart: "She is my sister. I am right to say she is right. Who dares to question me?"

"Third Brother, you..." Sheng Xuanyue opened her mouth.

"I've already found out the online trolls who are slandering Qingyan. I'll send you a copy later."

Sheng Jinheng chuckled, a half-smile playing on his lips, and said, "You and your daughter have been trying to destroy this evidence lately, haven't you? Now's perfect, Sheng Xuanyue, here's a copy for you."

"Think it over carefully. Do you intend to live a quiet life as a concubine, or do you want to reveal your true identity and disclose this evidence? Think it over."

For an instant.

Sheng Xuanyue felt cold all over and shivered.

No matter which path she chooses, she will ultimately be unable to establish herself in this industry and will become the subject of gossip.

"Third brother, I don't want to, I don't want to choose. Third brother, for the sake of our friendship since we grew up together, I know I was wrong..."

“Sheng Xuanyue, I don’t want to hear you call me that.” Sheng Jinheng’s tone was full of disgust.

"That's it. I don't want to waste any more words with you. I hope to hear an answer tomorrow."

Sheng Jinheng's lips curled slightly, "Of course you are the product of your second uncle and second aunt's affair, that's an indisputable fact. Even if you stay in the Sheng family, there are some things you shouldn't even think about. If I find out you've done anything to Qingyan again, I'll make you leave the Sheng family."

If he hadn't known Shen Wenxi's methods and what crazy things she might do to Gu Qingyan because of Sheng Xuanyue, he wouldn't have tolerated Sheng Xuanyue's antics to this day.

Regardless, Sheng Xuanyue is always restless, and he needs to defuse this bomb as soon as possible.

Sheng Jinheng fell into deep thought.

……

The car, hidden in the darkness in the corner, slowly emerged.

Xie Shiren stepped on the brakes, and the Maybach came to a steady stop in front of Gu Qingyan's building.

Shangguandu went straight to her floor.

I knocked on the door several times.

Gu Qingyan opened the door with her hair still wet. "Master Du, is there anything else?"

His voice was cold and indifferent, his fox-like eyes were full of icy coldness, and he didn't even bother to put on an act.

After she finished speaking, she was about to close the door.

"Wait."

Gu Qingyan paused in closing the door, her cold eyes fixed on him.

Shangguan Du handed over a packet of external wound medicine, saying, "Remember to apply the medicine to your hand."

Gu Qingyan didn't want to waste words with him and reached out to take it.

Just as he was about to reach the medicine, Shangguan Du withdrew.

Gu Qingyan: "..."

She paused for a second, then said emotionlessly, "I'm tired."

Shangguan Du reached out and pushed open the door, pulling her inside.

I settled her on the sofa and, familiar with the place, found the hairdryer and dried her hair.

After the hair dries.

Shangguan Du gazed intently at her fair face, then sat down beside her and began applying medicine.

"I'll come over every day to treat your injuries from now on."

Gu Qingyan forced a smile, "Master De and the Sheng brothers seem to have a good relationship."

"Master Du was only nice to me because of Young Master Sheng. Now that Young Master Sheng is back, you don't need to do that anymore."

Shangguan Du, however, sensed the coldness in his tone.

This little girl may seem unruly, but she's actually very sensitive.

Shangguan Du reached out, his cool fingertips stroking her cheek, his tone casual.

"I don't want to deal with every member of the Sheng family."

"Gu Qingyan, try to feel it more with your heart."

Shangguan Du chuckled softly, his eyes dark and deep, as if all light had vanished, and said in a low voice, "Do I look like the kind of person who would take care of others for someone else?"
