Chapter 53 Can you please stop messing around?! [VIP]

"What are you talking about?!"

The older man had a bad feeling and quickly pushed the man away, trying to run away, but the man suddenly grabbed him.

The man looked at Qin Yuzhen with fear and trepidation, his eyebrows, which had just been smug and arrogant, now drooping.

Timid and hesitant.

"Mr. Qin..."

The older middle-aged man hated the man, but having missed the best opportunity to escape, and given that the man's brother had previously been his friend, he could only swallow his anger and try to salvage the situation.

"...President Qin, he speaks without thinking."

"Bang!"

Without wasting words, Qin Yuzhen raised his long leg and kicked the man in the lower abdomen!

"ah--"

Qin Yuzhen was tall and had been self-disciplined since childhood. His full-force kick made this man, who had long been drained by tobacco and alcohol, whimper in pain and fall to the ground, unable to get up.

The middle-aged man turned pale with fright and hurriedly tried to support the man, but when he caught sight of Qin Yuzhen's face, he froze on the spot.

Qin Yuzhen's features were fierce and cold, his extremely strong sense of aggression like that of a raging lion, as if he would open his sharp claws and tear the man in front of him to shreds at any moment.

Not to mention the middle-aged people were terrified, even Ziyu had never seen Qinyu Town look like this before.

Even when the scumbag seme and the submissive uke were at their worst in their past lives, Qin Yuzhen only told him to get out in a rough voice.

He really didn't expect Qin Yuzhen's reaction to be so strong, and Ziyu lowered his eyes.

...To be honest, he was already used to hearing these words.

In real life, he has the same face. Coupled with his background as an orphan and being pampered and sponsored by a wealthy family, there are countless people who envy him but also covet his looks. If he were to argue with everyone, he wouldn't need to study or work; he would be arguing with countless people every day.

Ziyu opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Anyway, it's all in the game world. He's not some saint. He doesn't care about the real world because he doesn't have that much energy or power.

If someone is backing you up, why should you swallow your anger?

Qin Yuzhen squeezed out the word from between his teeth: "Get out!"

"I will use the proper channels to get you out."

The man, clutching his lower abdomen, stumbled to his feet, his face deathly pale with pain. He pleaded in a mixture of shock and fear, "President Qin, President Qin, I didn't think straight just now! I was stupid, I was despicable! Please don't fire me...!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's previously normal complexion instantly lost all color.

They all knew that with Qin Yuzhen's words, their careers were effectively over. He still had a wife and children to support, and he even had a mistress on the side...

"President Qin! He's the only one who said it! I don't agree with him at all! President Qin, fire him if you want! Don't fire me!"

Hearing this, the man jumped up in anger: "You're the one who dislikes men selling their bodies! You're the one who led me to say that!"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened: "Bullshit! What you said has nothing to do with me! President Qin! President Qin! Fire him right now!"

"What did you say?! You shameless old geezer! You call yourself my brother's friend?!"

The man was so angry that sweat beaded on his forehead. Ignoring the other people standing in front of him, he rushed forward and started pinching and hitting the middle-aged man.

He wouldn't dare touch Qinyu Town, so why would he be afraid of this old man in his fifties?!

Qin Yuzhen watched this scene with indifference, then picked up the phone and called security.

Soon, security personnel escorted the two, who were still arguing, away.

Seeing that they had left, Qin Yuzhen's expression softened, and a hint of unease flashed in his eyes as he looked at Ziyu.

Ziyu pulled Qinyu Town aside, and he had a vague guess in his mind.

"Has something happened to me?"

His engagement to Qin Yuzhen was only attended by a small number of business partners and some of his artists. Although he was already famous before, it shouldn't be enough for so many people to remember him.

Qin Yuzhen knew he couldn't hide it from Ziyu: "It was your aunt's family who did it."

?

Ziyu was taken aback.

aunt?

The news on Weibo caused quite a stir, and the public relations and operations department staff held many meetings overnight to discuss the matter.

What was originally a private matter was blown to the top by busybodies, and after involving the most talked-about individuals, the fervor reached an unbelievable level.

"Suppress the trending topic!" The manager said sternly, looking at his subordinates. "Where are the online trolls? Where are the people we hired? Release the article now! Isn't this already a huge enough commotion?"

The women's foreheads were covered in sweat; the lack of sleep over the past few days had left them feeling more exhausted than ever before.

"Manager, it's not working... we just can't suppress it!"

The employee, looking dejected, said, "It seems... it seems someone else spent more money than us..."

They managed to push the trending topic to its absolute peak.

This is an attitude of never giving up until the dead Ziyu is overturned.

The supervisor was so anxious that her lips were bubbling. She was currently stuck in the promotion stage, and if she couldn't even protect her own boss, how could she prove her abilities?

Who exactly wants to harm their boss's husband?!

In a corner of a certain network center, countless comments quickly piled up and flashed on the dark forum.

Has the Qin family gone mad...? They're willing to sacrifice their reputation to protect this scumbag?

[How come I didn't know Qin was a love-struck fool? I'm disgusted. What's so great about a lousy man?]

[Can't that bitch who's been sucking our brother's blood for six years just die already?]

[I really don't understand. That illegitimate child is such a useless piece of trash. Couldn't he have gone a little deeper? If that man had just died, none of this would have happened.]

【It's all his fault! If it weren't for him, would our brother have had so few resources all these years?】

[The Qin family must have been bewitched; it feels like they've poured all their resources into supporting this despicable dog!]

[Hehehehe, what's the use of making a big fuss? If the capitalists throw more money in, who will remember what they did?]

[I've seen people saying that ZY, that vampire, has his reasons, and that the truth isn't what they think.]

[Ugh, what could this bastard possibly have to complain about? His problem is he can only sell his ass to one man, not more, right?]

[I think qyz is so protective of zy because they're similar people, and they probably have respect for their parents. As the saying goes, "one is influenced by one's surroundings," and I doubt he's as gentle as he pretends to be!]

Capitalists, just die, die, die!

[May those two scumbags, qyz and zy, die young.]

[Support, it seems.]

Brothers and sisters, please join our anti-ZY group! We can help with anything you need! Don't just lurk, come here.

[Come on, the PR team ZY hired is here again, sisters get ready!]

Ready!

Ready!

Ziyu's gaze lingered on the last message. She swiped down again, and a glaring red exclamation mark appeared before her eyes, indicating that the post had been deleted by the administrator.

Ziyu pursed his lips. As the main character at the center of the conversation, he naturally knew that these people were telling stories that were half true and half false.

He browsed through the related topics again, and unsurprisingly, because the Qin family protected Ziyu without distinguishing right from wrong, those haters initially only complained that Ziyu had capital backing him. Unexpectedly, it evolved into a situation where many people were hostile to certain companies under the Qin family, and the criticism of Ziyu had escalated to questioning the Qin Group.

Ziyu slowly raised his head and looked at Qinyu Town across the street.

Qin Yuzhen was worried that Ziyu might develop feelings of inferiority or become depressed because of these words, so he had already instructed relevant personnel to set all keywords related to Ziyu as sensitive words. On the contrary, he didn't care at all about the comments that attacked him.

It's obvious that someone is manipulating this behind the scenes, otherwise it wouldn't have leaked so quickly, and even the whistleblowers might not be telling the truth.

Upon seeing the post, Qin Yuzhen immediately summoned the public relations and operations department, and even dragged out the legal department as well.

No matter who is behind it, Qin Yuzhen will not let them off the hook.

Despite all the precautions taken, Qinyu Town never expected to be defeated by its own company's employees.

Ziyu put down her phone, a thoughtful look flashing across her eyes.

From the moment the engagement was completed, the game's plot took off like a runaway horse, heading in a direction he couldn't possibly understand, and even becoming increasingly chaotic...

Logically speaking, the aunt's family, who should have left the stage long ago when the protagonist graduated, are now appearing again and again, creating a new climax in his story.

Thinking of her last chance to salvage the situation, Ziyu tentatively suggested, "...Perhaps we can cancel the engagement."

The moment he finished speaking, Qin Yuzhen tightened his grip on Ziyu's hand.

"no."

Qin Yuzhen squeezed out the words, his eyes filled with a chillingly intense dark emotion.

"The engagement cannot be annulled."

Upon seeing Qin Yuzhen in this state, Ziyu's heart seemed to stop for a moment, and he involuntarily took a few steps back.

For every step he takes back, Qinyu Town takes a step forward.

Until Ziyu had nowhere left to retreat, he could only raise his head and stare directly at the dark shadows of Qinyu Town.

Qin Yuzhen's imposing aura was so strong that Ziyu felt a sense of dread.

Just as Ziyu was about to beg for mercy, Qin Yuzhen suddenly released all his strength, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gently pressed his forehead against the young man's forehead.

His voice suddenly weakened, like that of a wronged, pitiful lost dog.

"Don't call off the engagement..."

His lips parted slightly as he pleaded, "Don't leave me, I'll handle these things."

“I will not let anyone who spreads rumors or insults you get away with it.”

Ziyu had never seen Qinyu Town like this before.

He's the kind of person who responds better to gentleness than force. If Qin Yuzhen continues to be ruthless and relentlessly pressuring him as before, Ziyu will break up with him even if it means going out of character.

But Qin Yuzhen used the method he found most unbearable.

Looking at Qin Yuzhen, whose eyebrows were slightly drooping and who looked pitiful, the stark contrast made Ziyu's heart clench.

Ziyu almost agreed, but luckily he remembered he still had a 200 million yuan task to complete.

"I don't want to be a burden to you."

That's right, that's exactly how the submissive character makes sacrifices—

"No."

Qinyu Town directly refused.

“You have never been a burden to me. From the very beginning, the Qin family has always included you as a part of it.”

Qin Yuzhen gently pulled Ziyu into his arms.

My heart was beating strongly and healthily in my chest.

That's strange.

Ziyu buried her head in Qin Yuzhen's arms, a feeling she couldn't quite describe welling up inside her.

Why is the scumbag seme in this playthrough so different?

Regardless, since this matter originated with him, let him resolve it.

Never mind!

Ziyu made up his mind.

Once he settles things with his aunt, he's determined to reunite the scumbag and his beloved!

This is an opportunity where success is the only option! Failure is not an option!
