Qiao Zhen knew what Qiao Luosheng was thinking as soon as she saw his bright eyes. Since his backpack zipper was still open, she precisely took out his error notebook. "Let me see the questions you got wrong before. Do you understand them now?"

Qiao Luosheng looked at his older sister, and the carefree boy's eyes suddenly reddened.

“This question…” Qiao Zhen pointed to a question with a serious expression, looked up at Qiao Luosheng and asked, but noticed that his eyes were red. She quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Are your eyes bothering you?”

Qiao Luosheng shook his head and grinned, "No, I'm just a little happy and touched."

Qiao Zhen slapped her forehead.

Okay, we've come full circle.

However, Qiao Luosheng didn't pester Qiao Zhen with questions. Instead, he leaned forward, grabbed the driver's seat, and said to Lu Zheng during a break at a red light, "Thank you for helping us so much."

If Lu Zheng and Lu Xiao hadn't stepped forward, this matter would never have been resolved so quickly.

At this crucial juncture, with the college entrance exam approaching, who wants to be plagued by troubles?

Mrs. Sun, who relentlessly blames others and doesn't think her own child is at fault, is enough to give anyone a headache.

"You're welcome." Lu Zheng knew exactly where he had gotten into this trouble, so Qiao Luosheng's sincere thanks made him feel a little uncomfortable.

I glanced at the woman in the back seat through the rearview mirror. She was looking down at her notebook of wrong answers. The afternoon sun shone through the car window and gently fell on her clean and pretty face. Her cherry-like lips made me want to kiss them.

He swallowed twice and quickly looked away.

Qiao Luosheng tilted his head and examined Lu Zheng's face in the rearview mirror. He secretly admired his sister's good taste, but a strange sense of familiarity lingered in his mind. "I think you look a little familiar."

Qiao Zhen looked up when she heard this.

Lu Zheng remained expressionless. "Oh?"

“Hmm—” Qiao Luosheng thought seriously, “I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere before.”

Qiao Zhen tried to conceal her nervousness, but her almond-shaped eyes still revealed a hint of tension. Her fingers, resting on her knees, tightened involuntarily as she gripped her clothes.

Lu Zheng glanced at the rearview mirror and joked, "That's a really old-fashioned way to start a conversation."

Qiao Luosheng quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "No, I'm not interested in men!"

Lu Zheng smiled.

After that head shake, the sense of familiarity was also shaken off. Qiao Luosheng scratched his head and said, "I reckon that popular young male actor recently had plastic surgery to look like you."

"You seem to know a lot about celebrities?" Qiao Zhen suddenly asked.

Qiao Luosheng sighed, "The advertisements are everywhere; I can't help but see them. They're an eyesore."

Qiao Zhen glanced at the man in the driver's seat. Without a mask to conceal his handsome profile, she asked, "Which young heartthrob is he? Let me see how similar he is?"

“Look, this is it!” Qiao Luosheng pointed to the giant billboard outside.

Qiao Zhen immediately turned her head to look.

The handsome young man holding the latest model of a certain brand of mobile phone had a sunny and cheerful smile, exuding a youthful vibe. His eyebrows and eyes did indeed resemble Lu Zheng's slightly. Upon closer inspection, one could see traces of plastic surgery on his eyes.

"Does it look like it?" Qiao Luosheng asked.

"Hmm." Qiao Zhen felt a strange, indescribable feeling, like a sense of loss.

Both her mother and younger brother felt a sense of familiarity with Lu Zheng, as if they had met him before, but in the end, they both denied it.

But it's too much of a coincidence that all three of them have this feeling.

Along the way, Qiao Luosheng and Lu Zheng chatted and laughed. The two people, who had only known each other for three or four hours, seemed to have hit it off as if they had known each other for a long time. Despite being the busy president of the Lu Group, he was able to keep up with any topic the young man was talking about.

Only Qiao Zhen, preoccupied with her own thoughts, carefully concealed them, pretending to listen to their conversation quietly.

An hour and a half later, they arrived at a tourist resort area. Built against the mountains and by the water, the scenery was beautiful and the environment was tranquil. Although it was peak tourist season, the resort area was spacious and the houses were far apart, making it a perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the world and live a quiet life.

Lu Zheng had already booked a three-story villa with the best facilities and the best privacy.

On the way, they had a simple bread meal and then a home-cooked meal at the villa. Qiao Zhen then made an excuse to pick up her mother and go home to pack some change of clothes before leaving the resort with Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng said, "I turned on the signal jammer and unplugged the network cable, so your brother won't know about the bloodshed online."

Qiao Zhen was quite relieved that her younger brother would focus on his studies, but online—

Following the mass deletion of posts, the police also issued a statement proving Qiao Luosheng's innocence, revealing that a number of accounts had posted videos of Mrs. Sun assaulting and Sun Junyi cheating.

Many netizens came to their senses after seeing the announcement and video.

However, some marketing accounts continued to release videos of the assault, and a large number of online trolls led netizens to hurl insults at Qiao Luosheng. The language used was so vulgar that it was hard to look at. Some people even doxxed her and posted her and Qiao Luosheng together.

They also posted a video of Sun Junyi with his head wrapped in gauze and his legs fixed in an external brace, with his relatives crying and telling him how hard he studied, how filial and kind he was, and how he dreamed of entering the highest university and becoming a pillar of the country. The video was full of sob stories and garnered a lot of sympathy.

"Why did these thugs choose to kidnap Qiao Luosheng and beat people up instead of someone else? I smell a conspiracy!"

"This family is so pitiful. I have a feeling this is not simple. Qiao Luosheng must have some big shots helping him suppress the news, distort the facts, pity the victims, and not seek justice for them."

"Yes, I think so too! Why isn't anyone investigating the criminal gang behind Qiao Luosheng? This is outrageous!"

"I can tell from their appearances that they are not decent people. I strongly demand a thorough investigation!"

"I'm here to spill the beans! Qiao Luosheng's sister is a serial homewrecker who steals other women's boyfriends and a bully in the workplace!"

This revelation caused an even bigger uproar online.

Qiao Zhen frowned.

Generally, this type of social news does not attract widespread attention.

But this time it was different. Under the guidance of online trolls, from "school bullying" and "gangsters oppressing the people" to "mistresses tearing each other apart," every piece of information hit the gossip hotspots of netizens, and those who had stopped caring about the matter were rekindled in their interest.

Judging from the uproar online, this spectacle is no less impressive than that of second- or third-tier celebrities.

Qiao Zhen, an ordinary person, never imagined that her family would become so "famous" today.

"Zhenzhen." Lu Zheng reached out, his long, slender fingers firmly covering the phone screen. "Don't worry about these things."

Qiao Zhen smiled faintly, a sly glint in her clear black and white eyes. "Does that mean the bigger the commotion, the harsher the retribution the criminals will receive in the future?"

"Yes." Lu Zheng nodded.

"Then what do I need to worry about or be anxious about?" Qiao Zhen turned to look at Lu Zheng, calmly meeting his gaze, her smile widening.

Lu Zheng gripped Qiao Zhen's fingers tightly, also wanting to seize this opportunity.

The other party framed Qiao Luosheng, determined to achieve their goal, and their aggressive demeanor also gave him the opportunity to sever all ties with the person behind the scenes!
