After being reborn, the scumbag CEO begs me to remarry him every day.

Qiao's parents followed Tang Xia's advice and called the police.

Qiao Zhiyu went abroad to study a few days ago and hasn't returned yet, so there's no one in the family who can manage things.

Lin Yiyue is currently pregnant and also has to take care of Lin An'an, so she has no time to spare.

I don't know who instigated this elderly couple, but they started "clocking in" at Tang Xia's studio every day, just like going to work.

Chen Shuangshuang tried to drive the person away several times.

But she couldn't stand her mother's shameless and unreasonable methods.

"Sister Xia, several interviewees were almost scared away by these two today. If this continues, will we still be able to recruit anyone?"

Tang Xia was also quite helpless.

She put down what she was doing, walked up to the two of them, and sighed deeply.

"The police are already investigating. Instead of helping to find Qiao Zhinuan, why are you wasting your time here every day?"

Mr. Qiao pointed his finger at her and yelled, "Even if you didn't kidnap Zhi Nuan, her disappearance is still related to you! Besides, she's still your sister-in-law. She's been missing for so long, and you're not worried at all! You heartless woman!"

Tang Xia frowned slightly.

Although Mr. Qiao had a bad temper, he was also a man of few words.

This long string of words he said today doesn't sound like something he would normally say.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Qiao's mother acting strangely behind Qiao's father.

Seeing her look over, Qiao's mother immediately hid what she was holding.

This attempt to cover up the truth only fueled Tang Xia's suspicions.

But she didn't say anything immediately.

"Qiao Chenliang!"

Tang Xia called Qiao's father by his full name, which startled him.

"what are you doing?"

"I divorced your son a long time ago. I've already done more than enough by not hiring anyone to kick you out!"

"You have no conscience—"

Just as Mr. and Mrs. Qiao were not paying attention, Tang Xia darted forward and took the thing that Mrs. Qiao had just hidden from her hand.

It turned out to be a cell phone.

She opened it and was so angry she was shaking.

These two old geezers have actually started live streaming online!

Tang Xia noted down the name of the live stream room and immediately turned off her phone.

Seeing that things were not going well, Qiao's mother immediately tried to snatch the phone back.

But she was nowhere near as fast as Tang Xia.

Not only did they miss their target, they almost fell flat on their face.

Tang Xia looked at her coldly and said, "I originally thought you were genuinely worried about Qiao Zhinuan, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant and absurd!"

"What do you know!" Mr. Qiao shouted, "Do you know our family's current situation? If you hadn't used underhanded means to divorce Zhiyu and leave him with nothing, would we be living off live streaming now? Besides, live streaming can also attract more attention to this matter, and maybe some kind-hearted people will help us find Zhinuan."

Tang Xia was furious at his words.

He kept saying he was looking for his daughter, but actually he just wanted to earn money to support his son's children.

Tang Xia was too lazy to argue with them anymore. She waved her hand and said coldly, "You guys get out of here, or I'll call the police."

They were just doing it for the sake of creating buzz and going live.

Now that Tang Xia has discovered it, I might as well stop acting.

"Let me go, but you have to give me back my phone first."

"Give it back to you?" Tang Xia sneered, "You did a live broadcast in my studio without my permission, and even showed my face on camera. I'm being lenient by not suing you for violating my privacy."

Seeing Tang Xia's firm attitude, the elderly couple, who were already feeling guilty, didn't dare to say anything more and slunk away.

Chen Shuangshuang came down from the second floor.

Seeing that she was quite angry, he quickly patted her back to help her calm down.

"Sister Xia, our studio will officially open in a week. Do you think what they're doing will damage the studio's reputation?"

Let's wait and see.

However, Tang Xia completely underestimated the power of online public opinion.

The next day, rumors started circulating online that Qiao Zhinuan's disappearance was caused by her.

Even worse, some people spread rumors that she was a murderer.

The reason why Qiao Zhinuan hasn't been found for so long is that she has already been dismembered.

Such an outrageous rumor should not be believed by anyone.

But the saying "three men can make a tiger" holds true.

Moreover, the internet is inherently a place full of hostility.

Violence, grotesqueness, and gore will immediately grab people's attention.

In order to attract more traffic, some unscrupulous marketing accounts will continue to embellish and exaggerate the matter until, in the end, no one cares about what the original facts were.

When Tang Xia noticed that the wind direction was wrong, she immediately contacted someone to handle it.

But it was still a step slower.

Some online celebrities came directly to her studio entrance to livestream and film videos.

Even more attention-grabbing individuals have resorted to wearing hoods and splashing paint on walls in the middle of the night.

When Chen Shuangshuang opened the door in the morning, she was so frightened that she almost cried.

Tang Xia rushed over from home and was exhausted when she saw the mess at the door.

"Sister Xia, what should we do? Should we call the police?"

Seeing that she looked like a frightened little rabbit, Tang Xia couldn't help but pat her shoulder and comfort her, "Don't come to work for a while, to avoid getting dragged into this too."

"But no matter what, I can't leave you to face this alone."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

After calming the two employees down, Tang Xia dared to show a hint of lingering fear when they were alone.

If these people are only after me, then so be it.

I'm afraid that some irrational people will hurt the people around her.

Tang Xia closed her studio.

Jin Yao happened to invite her for coffee.

The two sat facing each other and sighed at the same time.

Tang Xia asked curiously, "What happened to you this time?"

"It's all because of my mom." Jin Yao bit her lip, feeling utterly drained. "Yesterday she arranged three blind dates for me, like an assembly line. After meeting one, I didn't even have to change seats before moving on to the next one."

"Didn't you have a proper talk with your mother when you went back last time?"

"We talked, but she's like she's on drugs; she won't listen to anything I say." She then waved her hand irritably, "Forget it, let's not talk about me anymore. Tang Xia, how's it going on your end? Haven't you found Qiao Zhinuan yet?"

"It's said that there's been some progress." Although Tang Xia had been following the situation closely, she wasn't directly involved and only knew the general outline: "They found out that she bought a plane ticket to another city and have already contacted the local police."

"I hope they find him soon, what a mess this is."

As they were talking, Tang Xia suddenly noticed a man wearing sunglasses and a mask not far away, who seemed to be taking pictures of them with his phone.

Her face immediately turned cold.

Just as she was about to confront this person, Jin Yao grabbed her hand and shook her head.

Then, Jin Yao picked up her phone, turned on the camera, and openly started recording the man: "According to Article 42 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law of our country, anyone who secretly films another person's privacy and whose circumstances are serious shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days."

Upon hearing this, the man was so frightened that he immediately ran away.

Jin Yao scoffed: "Coward."
