“Quick, look at the forum! I’m shocked! The so-called being kept by a greasy old man turned out to be Qin... My god, I dare not utter his full name, so is it really that person?!”
“Come quick, someone tell me, is it who I think it is?”
“If it really is him, then Young Master Huo, Lawyer Cheng or any other big shots are not comparable, after all Qin Hanyue is the real big shot!”
“Suddenly I feel like this world is so unbelievable, is this big shot really someone who could appear in my life to be talked about?”
“Is everyone’s forum working properly? How come only this post can be commented under, did the backend hacker change?”
“Oh my god, how stupid, making a big fuss over such trivial matters and dragging such an important figure into it. I used to feel she’s quite innocent for being exposed for getting plastic surgery and liposuction or getting kept by someone, but now it looks like she herself has some issues.”
"The poster must have some brain to not post this. Really just spreads any kind of rumors without caring for their life?"
The post swiftly attracted attention.
At this moment, the brainless sir who did not care for his life was looking at his screen, with contracts worth tens of billions cast aside. Qin Hanyue personally reviewed the comments under the post, directly blocking abusive accounts.
At this moment, Li Shiyin who first spread the rumor that Qiao Ying was being kept by an old man, and her two roommates were hiding in their dorm room, all extremely nervous and anxious, pushing the blame around.
Huo Chengdong caught the original poster who spread the rumor. He was a third year computer science student ranking first in his grade, quite skilled with technology.
When Huo Chengdong kicked open the dorm door, this student was still aggressively buying internet water armies.
Huo Chengdong went forward to kick him twice, before dragging him to the principal's office.
The student started saying he just couldn't stand Qiao Ying deceiving everyone with her fake appearance and wanted to expose her. He then said he thought it would be fun and casually posted it without expecting such serious consequences.
No matter how they asked, the student stuck to this narrative.
Qiao Ying looked at the other side, spoke in an unhurried manner, “Li Shiyin? Qiao Lingling?” Qiao Lingling had no money, so it shouldn’t be her.
She continued, “Su Qingyu? Su Lingwei?”
Hearing the three words Su Lingwei, the student clearly panicked a little.
Qiao Ying raised an eyebrow slightly, “That’s the one.”
Under collective pressure, the student finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and admitted to taking several hundred thousand from Su Lingwei.
He tearfully pleaded Principal Zhang to not expel him.
Zhang Chengyong felt his headaches were going to relapse again - he had just prayed that it wouldn’t be a student...
Su Cheng who was in the office suddenly received an incoming call.
It was a strange number. He was about to hang up when the call automatically picked up and turned on the loudspeaker.
Su Cheng was shocked for a moment, then realized his phone had been remotely controlled by someone.
Before he could think further, an aloof girl’s voice came from the receiver, “I’m giving you half an hour. If you don’t want the Su Group to go bankrupt, bring Su Lingwei to Beijing University.”
Just then, the office door was pushed open by his younger brother Su Zhan. Su Zhan came up to him in a hurry holding his phone, “Lingwei just called me saying something happened with Qiao Ying at school.”
At this moment, Su Lingwei was still lying comfortably in her big bed, hugging her phone and watching people scold Qiao Ying on the forums.
When she exited and looked, she discovered a new post appeared on top.
Su Lingwei clicked it open and it was like she saw the funniest joke ever, she laughed out directly, “Third Master Qin?”
“These country bumpkins must be crazy. They actually dare say the old man keeping her is Third Master Qin. Why doesn’t she just say it’s the Jade Emperor?”
“An uncultured country bumpkin from some rural backwater, yet dares to foolishly dream about Third Master Qin. Doesn’t she know what grade of person she is, dream on.”
After laughing, Su Lingwei strangely felt indignant for no reason.
She just couldn’t stand seeing Qiao Ying contaminate Qin Hanyue. Su Lingwei felt awful inside and wanted to find that student to buy more internet armies...
The post claiming the original poster was “Qin Hanyue” did not clarifiy anything for Qiao Ying at all.
On the contrary, it pushed Qiao Ying further into the center of public opinion turmoil.
Everyone felt she was crazy, mocking her for wishing beyond her station.
Those with kind intentions left comments under the post urging her to quickly delete it and keep herself safe. Many were worried for Qiao Ying’s personal safety.
Everyone thought the post was made by Qiao Ying herself.
Just when things were worsening and people thought Qiao Ying was going to get into big trouble, the black Mercedes Benz with license plate number [Beijing A0000] suddenly appeared at Beijing University’s south gate, unannounced.
The car rumored to be keeping Qiao Ying, attracted huge waves the instant it appeared, as expected.
“That car has arrived, right at the south gate!”
“Really? Who’s sitting inside? Did you get a clear look?”
“Saw it clearly with my own eyes. The owner is sitting in the back seat. It really is... him,” the student couldn’t speak further.
“Someone uploaded pics to the group chat, go take a look!”
“Oh my god, it really is Qin Hanyue...”
“Such side profile visuals, his status and standing, it feels so unreal that such a person could appear in my life to talk about?!”
“Mama I’ve made it, I got to see the legendary figure in person!”
Qin Yan sat in the driver’s seat, looking at the increasing number of spectators and recording videos with their phones outside.
Qin Yan felt like those monkeys at the zoo.
Behind the invisible car windows, Qin Yan strangely felt like he was streaking down the streets even though the front passenger windows were closed.
Glancing into the rear mirror at Qin Hanyue, Qin Yan instantly felt balanced inside.
At least his front windows were still shut. The Young Master himself opened the rear windows, brazenly showing his face for those people to watch and photograph as they pleased.
Seeing the composed Qin Hanyue, on top of their current predicament, Qin Yan strangely felt sorrowful - the Young Master has sacrificed greatly.
Upon further thought, he also felt the Young Master seemed to have gained through this.
Wasn’t this an open declaration of something?
As spectators grew while more rushed over from the distance, Qin Yan asked, “Young Master, shouldn’t we go in yet?”
They have been sitting for almost ten minutes already. The effect should be achieved, if they don’t go in soon, the way will get blocked.
Qin Hanyue messaged Qiao Ying, “I’m at the south gate. Would Miss Qiao grace me with her presence to pick me up?”
“Qiao Ying can’t really know him personally right?”
“He came because of the forum thing? To handle such trivial stuff, he still came personally? To settle scores or...”
“Given the circumstances, it reminds me of Lawyer Cheng who rushed back overnight from Toronto to show his support for campus belle Qiao Ying.”
“Now that you mention it... so Qiao Ying does have some connection to this prominent figure?” The students discussed spiritedly among themselves.
After over ten minutes, the crowd stirred as Qiao Ying emerged from within.
“Hey look Qiao Ying is here.”
“She’s walking over.”
As Qiao Ying appeared, the students saw the figure who had kept his profile facing them from the backseat finally turned to reveal his front face.
Seeing the approaching woman, Qin Hanyue’s tall figure exited the vehicle.
Qin Hanyue said: “Why are you wearing so little? Aren’t you cold?”
Qiao Ying had on only a somewhat thin hooded sweater.
These days the weather turned colder with occasional rains.
Qiao Ying replied “I’m quite robust.”
Qin Hanyue: (She should not be saying I’m weak right?) Keeping his thoughts aside, “Get in the car first, it’s warm inside.”
He personally opened the car door for Qiao Ying and ushered her onboard.
Everyone witnessed this harmonious scene, and it instantly turned silent, only the repeated sounds of sharp inhales could be heard.
The car arduously drove into the school.
Qin Hanyue said “Didn’t expect you to really come pick me up.”
Qiao Ying replied “It’s only right. Mr Qin specially made the trip down himself.”
Qin Hanyue said “It concerns your reputation, so of course I would come. I originally wanted to shut those people up for you, but I certainly wouldn’t have let you come out if I knew you wore so little.”
