Chapter 1019 is still under investigation.

From what Tao Yang said, Qiao Xingmeng could tell that everything was developing in a positive direction.

Qiao Xing was genuinely happy for them.

As long as the company can operate normally, even if she can no longer return to the company, she can truly rest assured.

Qiao Xing watched several of the most popular videos on his game account over and over again.

It must be said that Tao Yang and his team did their homework.

In today's internet age, short video websites and apps are very popular among young people.

The game they made happens to be targeted at young people.

As long as you master the style of the video, keep up with recent hot topics, and put more effort into the editing, you won't have to worry about not being able to make a good video.

If Qiao Xing hadn't been involved in the development of this game, and was just a casual observer, she would definitely have been tempted to get into it after watching the video.

Qiao Xing was engrossed in watching videos when her phone rang, interrupting her.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was Xiao Lin calling.

"Hello, Xiao Lin."

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Lin's voice held a hint of hesitation and uncertainty, "Qiao Xing, are you alright?"

Qiao Xing asked, puzzled, "I'm fine, what's wrong?"

Xiao Lin seemed relieved. "That's good."

Qiao Xing thought Xiao Lin was worried that she was still upset about Qin Ce.

She chuckled softly and said, "Don't worry, I won't overthink it. The doctor said Qin Ce will wake up, and I believe he will."

"That's not what I wanted to say..." Xiao Lin hesitated, but in the end, she said nothing. "Never mind, as long as you're okay."

Judging from Qiao Xing's tone, Xiao Lin guessed that she still didn't know anything.

It's better not to know, otherwise we'd have to go through all that trouble.

Qiao Xing was completely confused by Xiao Lin. "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Xiao Lin said, "No, I was just asking. I'm relieved to see you're alright."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone hastily before Qiao Xing could say anything.

Qiao Xing stared at her phone, frowning in suspicion.

Why does Xiao Lin's tone sound so strange?

As soon as Xiao Lin hung up the phone, Yang Han asked her anxiously, "How is it? Qiao Xing doesn't know, right?"

Xiao Lin said, "Judging from her tone, she probably doesn't actually know."

Yang Han breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, if she had found out, I would have been in big trouble."

Xiao Lin said angrily, "You knew you were doomed, didn't I tell you to investigate? Haven't you found out anything yet?"

Yang Han immediately defended himself, "It wasn't my wife. I checked as soon as I found out about this, but the matter spread too quickly. Photos of Qiao Xing and that strange man were everywhere. I couldn't suppress them, let alone find out the source of the photos."

Xiao Lin looked at him and said, "Aren't you very rich? Is there anything in this world that money can't solve?"

Yang Han knew that Xiao Lin's words were a deliberate sarcastic remark directed at him.

When Xiao Lin insisted on going to work, Yang Han said the most that he was so rich that Xiao Lin didn't need to work hard at all.

Yang Han wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "It's true that you have a lot of money, but you have to be able to use it. But you're wrong about one thing. There are really things in this world that money can't solve, like your feelings for me. No amount of money can buy them back."

Xiao Lin glared at him. "Alright, what time is it? Stop being so cheeky!"

Yang Han immediately became serious and said to Xiao Lin, "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth about this. I want to see who is bullying Lao Qin's wife at this critical juncture."

Xiao Lin said, "You should hurry. Qiao Xing is in a condition where she can't be subjected to any stimulation. This matter probably can't be kept from her for long. If it really blows up, it won't be good for her."

"I know, I'll arrange for someone to investigate right away."

Xiao Lin and Yang Han were still hoping to keep it from Qiao Xing for as long as possible.

Unexpectedly, less than half an hour after Qiao Xing ended the phone call with Xiao Lin, he learned about this.

Aunt Wu had just returned from grocery shopping when Qiao Xing saw her rushing in, exclaiming, "My goodness! There are so many people outside! It's terrifying!"

Qiao Xing had been focused on watching videos and hadn't noticed anything outside.

She put down her tablet and walked to the window, only to find a large group of people standing in front of the villa's gate.

Qiao Xing didn't recognize any of those people.

She also noticed that many of those people were holding cameras and frantically taking pictures of the house she lived in.

A flash of light stung Qiao Xing's eyes, and she instinctively turned to the side and drew the curtains shut.

She walked over and asked Aunt Wu, "Who are those people?"

Aunt Wu hadn't recovered from the panic she'd just experienced. "I don't know either. I had just reached the door when they rushed up to me and asked if the person living here was the wife of the president of some group."

Is it S&C?

Aunt Wu nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes! That's it."

Qiao Xing paused slightly.

Apart from her close friends and family, very few people outside the community knew about her marriage to Qin Ce.

Even Qin Ce's identity has never been made public.

Why did this group of people suddenly find out about this place and even locate it?

Aunt Wu patted her chest, still shaken, and said, "They kept arguing and asking me if I knew anything about the photos, but I couldn't understand what they were saying..."

If Aunt Wu hadn't been so shrewd as to feign a heart attack, those people probably wouldn't have let her go.

"What photo?"

Aunt Wu shook her head blankly. "I don't know, Madam. Do you think these people have come to the wrong place, or is there some misunderstanding?"

Qiao Xing walked to the window, pulled the curtains open a crack, and glanced at the people outside.

Based on what Aunt Wu just said, most of these people outside are either reporters or paparazzi.

But how did they know Qin Ce's identity and her relationship with him?

Aunt Wu was afraid that those people would rush in, so she advised Qiao Xing, "Madam, why don't you go back to your room? I don't think those people will leave anytime soon. It would be bad if they really started making a scene."

Qiao Xing wasn't worried. "We live in a society governed by law now. They don't have that kind of guts. Besides, even if they really wanted to do something, there are police officers. We can just call the police."

More than that, Qiao Xing wanted to know who had brought these people here, and what about the photos Aunt Wu had mentioned earlier.

Qiao Xing drew the curtains again, sat down on the sofa, picked up her tablet, and opened the entertainment section of the webpage.
