So he decided to quickly find an opportunity to pull Yu Yuetong away. He didn't want these two to take advantage of the situation and act recklessly here.

"Come here!" Qin Reng suddenly stretched out his hand to Yu Yuetong, his voice gloomy and firm.

"Wait a minute, let the photographer take a few pictures first!" Yu Yuetong disregarded Qin Reng's feelings and instead made the reporters stop what they were doing, taking the opportunity to create the impression that Qin Reng was about to die. "Don't do that, let them take a few pictures for us first, this is a crucial moment!"

"Shut up, all of you!" Qin Reng gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with malice as he sized up everyone.

The scene continued like a farce, with several reporters scrambling to take pictures, flashes going off constantly, capturing every smile and gesture of the two young people, as if they had stumbled upon some excellent gossip.

But just then, a sharp phone ringtone shattered the atmosphere and drew everyone's attention. Yu Yuetong turned around instantly and saw her phone flash, displaying a text message notification in addition to the phone number. The smile on her face froze instantly as she recalled the countless people chasing her and the endless troubles that followed her first time transmigrating into the book.

"Who is it?" Qin Reng still tried his best to hold on, shielding Yu Yuetong behind him and protecting her from the dazzling lights.

"It's nothing," Yu Yuetong replied quickly, but her heart was already clenching. Perhaps those troublesome families from the past had started making their move again. A sense of foreboding welled up in her heart, and she hadn't even expected that her performance, which should have been perfect and appropriate, would now be rendered meaningless under these circumstances.

"Go to the hospital quickly!" Qin Reng displayed an unyielding expression, his eyes full of stubbornness, yet also tinged with fear. He grabbed Yu Yuetong's wrist, his gaze cold, and tried to pull her away.

"Then hurry up and leave!" Yu Yuetong was pulled by him and almost lost her balance. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she glanced anxiously at Qin Reng. "We need to think of a way to stop them as soon as possible."

Damn it, how did Ji Momo and Qin Yu end up here? This situation is getting out of control, and things are becoming increasingly complicated.

"Do you need my help?" A cold voice suddenly came from behind, and Mo Qingcheng appeared abruptly with a seemingly friendly smile, like an audience member, but his expression concealed more calculations.

Qin Reng's fingers tightened as he suddenly heard that familiar voice behind him. He turned around and saw Mo Qingcheng, still elegant and aloof. Mo Qingcheng's appearance was like a calm stone thrown into chaotic water, instantly breaking the deadlock and making the already messy situation even more complicated.

Yu Yuetong subconsciously bit her lower lip. She knew that Mo Qingcheng's appearance was no coincidence, and the anxiety brought on by the ringing of the phone just now was growing stronger. She could already feel the subtle changes in the atmosphere around her, and the situation seemed to be slipping out of her control again. She couldn't help but think of the grand drama that had been arranged long ago, and now, she herself had become a part of this drama—unfortunately, the plot was not as she wished.

"Why are you here?" Qin Reng's voice was low and tense, clearly tinged with displeasure. His eyes were sharp, looking at Mo Qingcheng with a hint of wariness, as if he were a strange enemy. Although he and Mo Qingcheng had a past, the current situation had made him deeply wary of this cunning and ruthless man.

Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow, his smile still gentle yet meaningful. "I'm just here to see how you two resolve this situation." He spoke calmly, as if nothing had happened, but the complex expression that flashed across his eyes was unmistakable.

At this moment, Ji Momo stood aside, and upon seeing this, smiled contemptuously, as if she had expected all of this. "Your tricks are nothing special." Her voice was as sharp as a knife. "Since it's so awkward, why don't we all have a thorough exposé and see who the real winner is?"

Yu Yuetong was slightly taken aback. She knew that Ji Momo's words were not simple, and the underlying meaning was far more than just the sarcasm before her. She also knew that in this game, she was always the one most easily seen as the loser. She took a deep breath, but on the surface, she remained calm. "Ms. Ji, it seems you always find pleasure in other people's predicaments." Her words were neither warm nor cold, but they already contained a hint of sharpness.

Qin Reng looked at her, a moment of surprise flashing in his eyes. He then suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart and suddenly grabbed Yu Yuetong's wrist. "Let's go," he said without hesitation, giving no one a chance to react.

However, just then, the phone rang again, and all eyes turned to the phone in Yu Yuetong's hand. She paused, picked up the phone, but didn't answer. Instead, she looked at the displayed number with a complicated expression. Then, she said softly, "It's... something about home." Her tone was clearly hesitant and worried.

"You're not answering?" Qin Reng frowned, his tone somewhat impatient, but more than that, it was a hidden anxiety. He had never seen Yu Yuetong with such a complex expression, and a sense of unease inexplicably rose in his heart.

"Wait." Yu Yuetong forcefully put her phone away, maintaining her usual composure, even though her mind was already racing, trying to formulate a response. She knew she couldn't afford to drag this out any longer.

She knew that things might get even more complicated, and all she could do was find out as soon as possible who was pulling the strings behind the scenes.

"Let's go." Qin Reng reached out his hand again, clearly not wanting to linger in this situation for too long. Yu Yuetong hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, "Okay."

"You're not answering?" Qin Reng's gaze was fixed on Yue Tong's phone, a hint of displeasure on his face. "What is it?"

Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, her hand gripping the phone trembling slightly. She realized that what was about to happen would be anything but simple, and she couldn't delay any longer. The complex situation behind it all was almost suffocating her, but she knew that if she didn't make a decision now, the situation would only become more complicated.

She glanced down at the caller ID on her phone screen—it was the old house's phone number.

That was the Qin family's residence. She had always been reluctant to have much contact with the old mansion, especially given the repeated pressure from Old Master Qin. But today, she had to face it.

"Some things at home." Yu Yuetong finally put down her phone, her voice heavy. "I have to go."
