Not long after, Rong Yan became the number one trending topic.

Someone posted evidence accusing her of hiring online trolls to smear Qiao Chu and damage the reputation of Diecuixuan.

Some even questioned whether Rong Yan had instigated the people who caused trouble at Diecui Pavilion.

Many accounts belonging to influential online trolls were also exposed.

In an instant, many media outlets contacted Rong Yan, seeking confirmation.

Rong Yan was furious and angrily rebuked the media.

They vehemently denied it.

She also threatened to sue the person who posted the message.

...

Rong Zhan also saw the news.

He immediately called Rong Yan.

"Did you do it? Answer me honestly."

"Brother, don't worry about me, I can handle it."

Although he was furious, Rong Zhan held back, but his expression was grim. "I told you not to interfere. Just focus on being a designer. How am I supposed to explain this to Mom and Dad if you keep getting your hands dirty?"

"Brother, I'm absolutely furious! I can't take it anymore! I truly hate that bitch! She's already gone to Yuhu Township, why did she have to come back to Haicheng? Wouldn't it have been better for her to stay in Yuhu Township? I hate seeing her!"

The more she spoke, the more agitated Rong Yan became, her expression turning ferocious.

Rong Zhan rubbed his forehead; his emotions were quite complex.

"You orchestrated the poisoning of the rats at Diecuixuan, the vandalism of the shop, the online attacks against Qiao Chu and Diecuixuan, and the manipulation of online comments—were all things you ordered?"

After hesitating for a moment, Rong Yan admitted, "Yes!"

A surge of anger was rising in Rong Zhan's chest, but he could only suppress it.

Who told her to be the younger sister!

He only has one younger sister!

"Rong Yan, from this moment on, don't have any thoughts. Stop targeting Qiao Chu and calm down. I'll clean up this mess. I'll have the lawyer issue a statement. Remember, don't be impulsive; acting rashly will only ruin a good hand!"

"Brother, I'll listen to you. I'm sorry for causing you trouble!"

“We Rong family members are not to be trifled with! It’s not that I don’t know how to deal with Qiao Chu and Jiang Zhi, but I need to wait for the right moment to strike. As the saying goes, to kill a snake, you must strike its vital spot!”

"Brother, I understand."

...

A short while later, Rong's Group's lawyers issued a statement in Rong Yan's name.

To clear oneself of all accusations.

They also stated that they reserve the right to pursue legal action.

Even after this announcement, the criticism against Rong Yan did not stop.

However, the trending topic has already dropped.

Soon, it disappeared.

...

After coaxing Rui Rui to sleep, Qiao Chu got up and quietly left the room.

Only then did she call Luo Luo.

"Chu, I've finished giving my statement. The police have also reviewed the video multiple times and compared it very carefully, confirming that the flies were not the responsibility of the kitchen staff. In addition to the visible surveillance cameras, there are several miniature surveillance cameras in the dining hall."

From the surveillance footage, police found evidence confirming that the flies were prepared beforehand by one of the group members, who thought no one would notice and secretly placed them in the food.

"..."

"According to investigations, some members of that group have criminal records, and the police are still conducting further investigations. In a moment, the police will issue a statement to clarify the preliminary situation and clear Diecuixuan's name."

Qiao Chu: "Luo Luo, thank you for your hard work. I'll go back early tomorrow."

Luo Luo: "It's okay, I can handle it. I see the situation online has changed; Rong Yan is being vilified, it feels great! That bitch is disgusting!"

Qiao Chu: "My husband did the digging. My husband is actually a pretty good guy!"

Luo Luo: "Rong Zhan probably spent a lot of money to remove the trending topic."

Qiao Chu: "Money isn't everything. What she owes us must be returned. We can't just let it go!"
