Ye Si's sneaky move instantly took away the excitement of the voting process.
After finally finding a group entertainment activity, everyone eagerly awaited the voting results. However, it was maliciously sabotaged, and people rushed to the forums to curse the brainless fans who were engaged in vote manipulation for having nothing better to do.
Little did they know that it was the person involved who was behind it all.
Qin Hanyue looked at Ye Si, who was sitting at the top spot, although everyone knew the votes were manipulated and shouldn't be taken seriously, it still bothered him. His good mood was ruined.
Qin Hanyue turned off his phone and tossed it aside.
Qin Yan, who had just come out of the office looking dejected, was relieved that he had finished his scolding earlier. If he had been a bit later and Three Master saw the vote count at this crucial moment, his mood would have taken a turn for the worse, and he might not have been able to leave Three Master's office.
As everyone vented their frustrations by passionately campaigning and condemning the vote manipulators on the forums, the voting results were updated again.
Qin Hanyue: 100010 votes
Ye Si: 100009 votes
[These votes were manipulated, how coincidental that an extra vote appeared. It's filled with hostility. Who could be behind this mischief?]
[Well done! Let's all rally and vote for the Ye Si and Qin Hanyue CP!]
[Why can't I vote? I get no response at all. What's going on? Can you guys vote?]
Five minutes later, the vote count was updated once more.
Ye Si: 1000000 votes
Qin Hanyue: 100010 votes
[Is this a showdown? I really want to know which two students are behind this manipulation. They must have spent a lot of money on these votes, right?]
[Male compatriots, let's crowdfund and vote for basketball. The goddess belongs to all of us!]
[I can't vote. I tried several stores on a certain online marketplace, but it doesn't work.]
[Damn, a simple vote has turned into such a big deal. Are even hackers involved? Who are the two geniuses behind this?]
As everyone engaged in heated discussions, the vote count was updated once again.
Qin Hanyue: 1000001 votes
Ye Si: 1000000 votes
[Three Master has joined the fray again, adding another vote. Well done!]
Seeing this situation, everyone had transformed from participants to spectators. They watched the show, curious to see what astronomical numbers they could manipulate and who would outdo whom.
[I really can't vote anymore. The link has been hacked.]
[Do you think Three Master might know about the voting?]
[School Flower Qiao has already told Three Master privately. I'm the one who told her.]
[If Three Master knows, will he vote for himself too?]
[Think bigger. He would directly manipulate the votes.]
[Hey, you accidentally let the truth slip.]
[I wonder if School Flower Qiao voted and who she voted for.]
Qin Yan held his phone and said, "Did Three Master really manipulate the votes? The numbers seem so fake. It would be hilarious if it was Three Master, right?"
Upon careful consideration, Three Master's infatuation made anything possible.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Qin Yan turned on his computer, wanting to find out if the vote manipulation was done by ordinary technical personnel hired by the students or...
After some attempts, he couldn't breach the firewall.
Qin Yan gave up and realized that he could count the number of people with such hacking skills on one hand. There was no need to say who it was.
Assistant wiped off a bead of sweat and nervously apologized to Ye Si. The latter's skills far surpassed his own.
Ye Si glanced at the assistant's screen, feeling slightly annoyed.
The people around him were actually less capable than Qin Hanyue's people!
Qiao Ying and Xiao He had just left school when Ye Si called: "Baby, help me boost the votes."
Qiao Ying replied, "Isn't it boring?"
Ye Si said, "It's no longer just about the votes, it's about face. I can lose to anyone but Qin Hanyue."
"It's none of my business," Qiao Ying replied.
Ye Si whimpered, "Baby, I'm sad."
【Did the white-haired handsome guy's fans run out of money?】
【It must be the fans of Third Master!】
【Uh, I can't find the link anymore. Can you guys find it?】
The classmates refreshed their phones, waiting for the vote count to change, but there was no change. At this moment, Qin Hanyue was ahead of Ye Si by one vote.
They waited, but the voting link disappeared.
The classmates frantically searched the group chat and comments but couldn't find it.
【It's really gone. Was it sabotaged?】
【Who did it? The fans of the white-haired handsome guy? They couldn't afford to boost the votes, so they solved the problem at its root. Impressive!】
【So, whether it's real votes or fake ones, Qin Third Master wins. I'm quite satisfied with this result. Hahaha.】
Because of Xiao He's actions, a voting event was created, providing entertainment for everyone for an afternoon. They didn't know the feelings of the parties involved, nor did they know if the parties even knew about it.
Anyway, they had a great time.
Back at the villa, Qiao Ying received another call from Ye Si.
Ye Si sounded aggrieved over the phone, "Baby, you could have boosted my votes before deleting the link. I was just one vote away."
Ye Si was extremely displeased with the result of being one vote short.
Qiao Ying replied, "Get Cheng Jinyin to sue if you're unhappy."
That night, Xiao He studied nearby while Qiao Ying administered a shot to Instructor Hou.
After Instructor Hou left, Xiao He stared at Qiao Ying as she put away the needles.
Not lifting her head, Qiao Ying asked, "What do you want to know?"
Xiao He asked, "Who taught you?"
Qiao Ying replied, "My deceased friend."
Xiao He asked, "How long did you learn from them?"
"With my age, how long do you think I could learn?" Qiao Ying said.
Xiao He looked back at his computer and said, "Never mind."
After Qiao Ying finished collecting the needles, she walked over to Xiao He and noticed a faint bruise on his neck.
Qiao Ying pulled down his collar, revealing a large bruise.
"You got into a fight again? Was it those guys from last time?" Qiao Ying asked.
Xiao He adjusted his collar and replied, "No."
A few days later, a surveillance video suddenly went viral on the internet.
The video quickly made headlines and spread like wildfire throughout Jing University's online forum, as well as other schools.
"Is that really Qiao, the campus beauty? It's not an AI face swap, right?"
"Isn't that the car the white-haired handsome guy drove at last year's welcome party? There are less than six of these cars worldwide, probably just one in China. No mistake."
"This is so terrifying. The owner of the car has been screaming in agony. It sends shivers down my spine. Could someone have died?"
"What kind of grudge is this? Although I really like Qiao, no matter how big the grudge is, it shouldn't be this ruthless, right?"
"Qiao doesn't bully the weak. What could be the reason for this? They want to crash someone to death."
In the video, a black sports car rammed a white Baojun car into a wall, repeatedly stepping on the accelerator to crash into the white Baojun. Each collision left the car body crumpled and unrecognizable, a sight that sent shivers down the viewers' spines.
The agonizing screams of the white Baojun's owner filled the entire video, causing a chilling sensation.
Finally, Qiao Ying calmly stepped out of the sports car.
His composed demeanor, coupled with his malicious acts, shocked and terrified everyone.
The video depicted a recent incident when Qiao Ying went to an auto repair shop to confront Xiao He, giving a deserving lesson to the unscrupulous car owner.
It was unknown who leaked the video, but it quickly spread like wildfire, sparking widespread discussions and putting Qiao Ying in the spotlight.
Upon arriving at school, Qiao Ying received a phone call from Zhang Chengyong.
On his way to the principal's office, the students' gazes towards him became complex and ever-changing, as if Qiao Ying was a ferocious beast.
They avoided him at all costs.
