From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

After the battle, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan didn't have much time to rest.

Just as they began to rebuild the destroyed community, Zhao Tianba's conspiracy quietly escalated.

Zhao Tianba and his gang were clearly unwilling to accept defeat so easily.

They acted swiftly, beginning to spread rumors in the community.

The residents who had previously cheered for Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan gradually became indifferent.

Rumors spread like wildfire, claiming that Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan were there for personal gain and were not genuinely doing charity.

"Hey, have you heard? Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan aren't charity heroes at all; they're here to steal resources!" a vendor whispered in the market, drawing agreement from those around him.

“Yes, you see them always appearing with government officials. Who knows what kind of shady dealings are going on behind the scenes?” A woman stared, her face full of suspicion.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan quickly sensed the change.

That day, they went to visit a school, but the principal, who had been so enthusiastic, suddenly became cold and wouldn't even let them in.

"Bi Yao, look at the situation here. Isn't it getting increasingly strange?" Jiang Ruiyuan frowned and said in a low voice.

“I understand,” Bi Yao took a deep breath and smiled. “Rumors are rampant and people’s hearts are unpredictable. However, these are just small tests for us.”

Nevertheless, their condition worsened when they arrived at the hospital.

Doctors and nurses looked at them with suspicion, and some residents even pointed and whispered behind their backs.

"Are you here to steal our resources?" a parent angrily questioned Bi Yao.

Bi Yao's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and replied with a smile, "We are here to do good for everyone. If you still have any doubts, you are welcome to monitor our actions at any time."

However, the power of rumors is terrifying.

Even though Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan explained it many times, the effect was minimal.

The residents became increasingly indifferent and even began to avoid contact with them.

“Yao, we can’t let them lead us astray like this,” Jiang Ruiyuan said, holding Bi Yao’s hand. “We need to prove ourselves with facts.”

Bi Yao nodded, a determined glint in her eyes: "That's right, rumors stop with the wise. I will show everyone with my actions that we are truly working for them."

She turned around and saw the residents in the distance who still trusted and supported them, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Bi Yao knew that true victory was imminent, but she needed to be stronger and wiser to break free from the shackles of all these rumors.

“Zhao Tianba, your conspiracy will not succeed,” she said in a low voice, her eyes shining with determination.

At this moment, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan are ready to face even greater challenges.

Bi Yao is not a vegetarian!

Rumors spread like a virus, but she is not someone to be trifled with.

She took a deep breath and sneered, "Trying to play dirty? I'll play along!" Jiang Ruiyuan's eyes also sharpened, "Yao, go for it, I'll back you up!"

So, the two started their "face-slapping" mode.

They launched a surprise attack, going door-to-door to collect thank-you notes and testimonies. The scene was comparable to a large-scale fan meeting, with residents exclaiming, "Miss Bi Yao is beautiful and kind-hearted!" and "Brother Jiang is simply an ideal person!" The collected evidence piled up like a mountain, practically irrefutable!

They moved all this evidence to the square and held a grand "truth press conference".

Bi Yao stood on the stage, speaking with great passion: "Rumors stop with the wise. Today, we will expose these shameless lies!"

In no time, the square was packed with people, all eager to see this dramatic reversal.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan took turns speaking, vividly recounting their experiences in doing charity work, and their touching stories brought tears to everyone's eyes.

Now, the wind has completely changed!

Those who had spread rumors were immediately proven wrong and slunk away.

When the local family realized that this approach wouldn't work, they immediately came up with an even bigger, wicked plan—to tamper with the supplies!

They secretly mixed substandard supplies into the aid materials that Bi Yao and her group provided, just waiting to see them ruined.

"Hmph, let's see how you turn things around this time!" Zhao Tianba chuckled sinisterly.

however……

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Jiang Ruiyuan's lips as he calmly said to the person beside him, "Bring out what you've prepared..."

Jiang Ruiyuan's smile widened; he had long expected these clowns to pull this stunt.

He clapped his hands, and a group of uniformed inspectors suddenly appeared and surrounded the entire square.

"Excuse me, everyone, just a moment." Jiang Ruiyuan cleared his throat and picked up the microphone. "We anticipated that some people would act desperately, so we conducted a thorough inspection as soon as the supplies arrived and recorded the entire process."

A video began playing on the big screen, clearly recording the entire process of local families secretly exchanging supplies. The evidence was conclusive and undeniable!

"Wow! This plot twist is amazing!" The onlookers exclaimed in amazement, saying that the story was even more exciting than a TV drama.

Zhao Tianba and his gang's faces instantly turned liver-colored. They never expected that Jiang Ruiyuan would have such a trick up his sleeve!

"This...this is impossible!" Zhao Tianba stammered in protest. "This is a frame-up! It's a trap!"

"Framed? The evidence is right here, do you still want to deny it?" Jiang Ruiyuan sneered, his eyes sharp as knives. "Men, take these people away!" The inspectors swarmed forward and handcuffed Zhao Tianba and the others, amidst cheers from the crowd.

Bi Yao looked at Jiang Ruiyuan with eyes full of admiration: "Ruiyuan, you're amazing!" Jiang Ruiyuan smiled gently and squeezed Bi Yao's hand: "Yao, I told you, I will always protect you." The two smiled at each other, everything understood without words.

With the crisis resolved, the residents held Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan in even higher esteem and trust.

They presented flowers and gifts to express their gratitude.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan's charitable work went more smoothly as a result, and their reputation grew.

In the stillness of the night, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan sat on the balcony, gazing at the starry sky.

"Yao, we still have a long way to go." Jiang Ruiyuan gently put his arm around Bi Yao's shoulder. "We will face even more challenges in the future."

Bi Yao leaned against Jiang Ruiyuan's chest, feeling his warm embrace, and said firmly, "I'm not afraid. As long as you're by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."

Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence of the night...

Jiang Ruiyuan's eyes sharpened: "They're here..."
