Qin Heyi had always been fearless when facing even a whole team of instructors during meetings, let alone just a few reporters.

He stood there, his aura and armor radiating power, intimidating everyone else.

Shen Wanci was protected by him in his arms. Those swarming reporters subconsciously distanced themselves and dared not point their microphones at her anymore. "Is it true that Miss Shen drugged Jian Weining, as rumored online?"

Qin He Yi lifted his hand from Shen Wan Ci's shoulder and covered her mouth. His grip wasn't forceful, only enough to stop her from speaking, almost like he was protecting her.

He grinned nonchalantly and said, "To be targeted, you have to excel. Which aspect of Jian Wei Ning do you think Ms. Shen envies? Would she waste time targeting her?"

“...”

Thinking carefully, besides dancing, there doesn't seem to be anything else. However, Shen Wanci is also a top performer in her own field. There's no need for her to target anyone for this.

The reporter was unwilling to give up. With such a big scandal laid out before them, if they couldn't dig up some explosive inside information, it would have been a waste of all the time they had spent here: "But Jian Weining said in the interview that Ms. Shen drugged her out of jealousy, causing her to humiliate herself publicly..."

Qin Heyi raised an eyebrow. He had always been a rebellious and unconventional person, and this action made him look even more intimidating: "She says whatever she wants? Then I'll say she's my girlfriend..."

His voice trailed off.

Shen Wanci was pinching him, warning him not to talk nonsense about their relationship.

Qin Hexit 'hiss' ed, enduring the pain and continuing to say: "She was drugged, but in the end, even heaven couldn't stand it, retribution came back to her. Do you believe it?"

He's now practically become Shen Wanci's spokesperson, silencing a whole group of reporters with just his words, "After all, anyone with their eyes open can see who envies whom."

The cameras were clicking away at them relentlessly. Qin Heyi's gaze swept over the crowd; a few people had their heads bowed, their eyes darting around nervously. It was clear they weren't about to say anything good. "If you're going to write a report, do it properly. Don't make things up out of thin air and exaggerate. If I see any outlet doing that again in the future..."

He leaned away from Shen Wanci, afraid of being pinched. "If you smear my girlfriend's reputation, I'll send you a lawyer's letter every day."

Mocking laughter rippled through the crowd, likely at his overestimation of himself. Mainly because Qin Heyi had always been in the military, rarely showing his family's face, and he dressed modestly. His car was an ordinary mid-to-high-end brand, and even the later modifications were mostly practical, so an outsider wouldn't be able to tell its value.

However, the snickers disappeared within minutes, probably after they had secretly checked his background.

After Qin Heyi finished speaking, he took Shen Wanci's shoulder and got into the car. The reporters wanted to continue asking questions, but they were worried about the other party's illustrious family background. Let alone stopping him, they didn't even dare to extend their microphones too far forward.

As Qin Heyi walked out the door, he glanced at Ye Lan provocatively and raised his chin towards the nearest reporter. “You might as well ask Mr. Bo, after all, he’s so close to Miss Jian. Maybe he knows some secrets that are unknown to others.”

Reporter：“……”

Thank you for listening to me.

That's also a Buddha that you can't afford to offend. When Bo Zong interviewed, they had to make appointments in advance and submit the interview draft for approval before asking any questions. Who would dare to bother him with such messy questions? Are they looking to die too quickly?

With a slam, Qin Heyi mercilessly shut the car door.

A bunch of cowards, they don't even dare to walk the street!

Specifically, what's going on, that dog thing Bo Jingzhou must know for sure.

He said to Qin Yuezhi, "Get in the driver's seat."

Qin Yuezhi was just about to ask Shen Wanci what the matter was, but upon hearing this, she let out a cold snort: “What kind of driver's seat are you talking about? I should be lying under the car, not sitting in it.”

Qin Heyi actually took a moment to think carefully: "Alright, then you can go."

Shen Wanci elbowed him: "You two, every time you're together, you can't avoid bickering, can you?"

They've been fighting since they first met.

Qin Yuezhi didn't get out of the car. The reporters blocked the door, so she directly climbed over from the back seat to the driver's seat.

Qin Heyi was browsing online gossip news. Although Jian Wuning was an eighteen-line actress, she was well-known in the dance world and had accumulated a large number of die-hard fans. At this moment, they all flocked to Shen Wanci's Weibo comments, spewing various insults and obscenities.

He scanned them line by line, his brows furrowed tight: "What on earth is going on?"

Shen Wanci briefly recounted the events, omitting the parts about Nie Yucheng and Bo Jingzhou.

Qin Hèyì's face turned ashen. His temper flared, and he disregarded any notions of propriety. Anyone who dared to wrong him was his enemy: "Damn it, that woman must have grown up drinking Dieldrin! Her heart is so venomous. People like this can only be dealt with by bigwigs like Báo Jīngzhōu."

Hearing that tone, Shen Wanci suspected he was gloating, but there was no evidence.

"What do we do now? Should I contact someone to suppress the news?"

In the military, things were straightforward. If you didn't like something, you just dealt with it directly. There was no need for all this roundabout maneuvering. But this wasn't the army. Violence wouldn't solve the problem here. Otherwise, he would have rolled up his sleeves and given Jian Weining a good thrashing, forcing her to clear things up.

Shen Wanci was too lazy to open her phone, so she leaned over and looked at the content he had opened. "I copied the surveillance footage."

Whether it's the scene where Jian Weining gives medicine to Nie Yucheng, or the scene in the manager's office, once exposed, it proves that Jian Weining was the one who started it. Although she will still be scolded by some "Mary Sue" people, it'll be a 50/50 split, and no one will be able to come out looking good.

If she wants to climb over me to get ahead, then let's all go to hell together.

However, it's not the right time yet. We need to wait for things to blow up a little more. Right now, most of the attention is on Jian Weining's fans. Even if they know their master was in the wrong first, they'll try every way to whitewash him.

Shen Wanci is currently surrounded by rumors and can't go anywhere else. Qin Yuezhi directly took the person to her own home, ordering takeout for lunch: "Your apartment is definitely being stalked now, so you'll stay here with me for a few days."

Sitting on the soft sofa, she finally had time to take out her phone and browse the news: "Damn it, Jian Weining thought she was the only one who bought water armies. We also buy them, twice hers, scolding her so much that she wished she could travel back in time and make her father shoot her against the wall."

Qin Heyi let out two snorts of disdain and said, "You're a woman, for heaven's sake, can you stop being so vulgar? Even I, a big man, can't say these things. I'll get you two bottles of laundry detergent to use next time. Go take a good shower."

"Well, you sound like such a proper gentleman. I don't believe you've never exchanged dirty jokes with your brothers."

Especially that year, there weren't many women to be seen at all. Everything was based on imagination. At night when it was quiet, a few men full of energy lay together, thinking about Cuihua from the village. To say they hadn't mentioned her would be a lie.

Shen Wanci: "..."

Qin Yuezhi stared at her phone, suddenly exclaimed: "What's going on?"
