Seeing that Lu Qing's expression was off, Leng Wei quickly asked what was wrong.
Lu Qing smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing."
There was no conclusion regarding Meng Siqi's matter, and it would be better to talk about it, so Lu Qing didn't say anything.
Not long after, Cheng Yiyi and Yang Xiwen also returned.
All five of us in the dorm arrived, ate dinner, and then went to evening self-study.
Life gradually returned to its previous rhythm, and Lu Qing briefly put Meng Siqi's matter out of his mind.
However, just a week later, as Lu Qing was leaving class, she saw someone rushing towards her.
"You liar, give me back my mother's life!"
Lu Qing nimbly dodged, and before she could react to what was happening, a group of reporters rushed up and surrounded her.
"Miss Lu Qing, may I ask what your relationship is with that young lady?"
"Ms. Lu Qing, someone has reported that you committed fraud through fortune telling and divination, causing a victim to lose her mother. Is this true?"
"Miss Lu Qing, your parents and fiancé are all well-known entrepreneurs. Why would you resort to fraud to amass wealth? Is there something wrong with the Chu family and the Gu family?"
"..."
Faced with so many questions, Lu Qing's brows furrowed more and more.
These people were clearly after her, but she couldn't make a move in front of the live stream cameras.
Just as she was about to explain, someone came from behind with a fire extinguisher and sprayed dry ice.
The crowd's view was quickly blocked.
Lu Qing heard Liu Manyun's voice: "Idol, run!"
Liu Manyun grabbed Lu Qing's arm and pulled her out of the crowd.
"Qingqing, over here!"
The other people in the dormitory hid at the entrance of the stairwell, and after Liu Manyun brought Lu Qing, they locked the door immediately.
"Qingqing, what happened? Those reporters were clearly prepared and specifically targeting you!" Leng Wei asked anxiously.
Lu Qing frowned, her expression filled with worry.
"Let's go back and talk about it later!"
As the group went out of the stairwell, they discovered that there was a group of reporters outside.
"What should we do? If we go out like this, we'll definitely be discovered!" Gu Fei frowned.
Just then, Ruan Yinchen pulled over to the side of the road, rolled down the window, and whispered:
"Get in the car quickly!"
"It's Ruan Yinchen! Let's go!"
Everyone immediately climbed into the car, and once the door was closed, the reporters, not seeing anyone, went to look for them elsewhere.
Ruan Yinchen was about to escort them to their dormitory when she discovered a group of reporters at the dormitory entrance.
"How come there's one at the dormitory entrance too! Did I break some kind of law?" Lu Qing was utterly speechless.
At this moment, Gu Xicheng sent a message:
【Qingqing, let's go home first, I'll be there soon!】
Don't offer any explanations to the reporters; they will misinterpret your meaning and spread malicious rumors, making the situation even harder to control.
After reading the message, Lu Qing replied with an "okay," and then had Ruan Yinchen lead everyone to her and Gu Xicheng's secret base.
This house is kept relatively private; almost no one knows about it, and naturally, there are no reporters.
On the way, Lu Qing received a series of phone calls from her family. Before she could figure out what was going on, she could only let them know she was safe.
Not long after they got home, Gu Xicheng also returned.
"Qingqing, are you alright?"
Gu Xicheng hurriedly examined Lu Qing.
Lu Qing shook her head slightly: "I'm fine."
Gu Xicheng pulled her hand and sat her down, comforting her:
"It's alright! I've already put the public relations department in charge, things will calm down soon."
"Qingqing, this is clearly someone targeting you. Do you know who it is?" Gu Fei asked hurriedly.
Lu Qing had already thought about it on her way back, and she sighed:
"It should be a girl named Meng Siqi. On the day the holiday ended, not long after I got back to the dormitory, she came to me for a fortune telling, so I told her fortune."
"She asked whether her mother needed surgery. I saw from the divination that her mother's illness was not serious, and the doctor who recommended the surgery was not trustworthy. So I suggested that she take her mother to another hospital for a check-up."
“I just saw her. She said I killed her mother. The questions the reporters asked were as if they were certain that I killed her mother. There must be someone behind this.”
Ruan Yinchen: "It seems that the root cause of this matter lies with Meng Siqi. We need to go and ask her what's going on."
Gu Xicheng frowned and thought for a while before saying:
"I'll have someone contact this girl right away and find out exactly what happened."
After saying that, Gu Xicheng went to contact a lawyer to find Meng Siqi.
Lu Qing lowered her head, her tightly furrowed brows revealing her current worry.
She didn't care about her reputation, but the questions the reporters asked weren't just directed at her, but also at her family—something an ordinary girl like Meng Siqi wouldn't do.
We need to find the mastermind behind this.
Lu Qing tried to cast a divination, but because the matter involved him, the result was unclear.
She suddenly remembered the sense of unease she had felt after Meng Siqi left that day.
Something else must have happened after Meng Siqi left her place to cause the change in the divination.
"Weiwei, contact Tang Yu and ask him to help us pull up the school's surveillance footage to see who Meng Siqi met after leaving the dormitory on May 6th."
Leng Wei immediately nodded and called Tang Yu.
He quickly used some means to retrieve the school's surveillance footage and sent over all the footage of Meng Siqi captured on May 6th.
According to surveillance footage, Meng Siqi was stopped by a black car as soon as she left the dormitory building that day.
The people on the bus talked to her for a while, and then she got on the bus.
"It seems that today's events are inextricably linked to the people in this car."
Lu Qing took a screenshot of the license plate number and sent it to Meng Chun, asking him to help investigate.
Meng Chun also saw the video. He knew that Lu Qing must have been wronged, so he agreed to help without hesitation.
The owner of the car was quickly identified.
"Huang Zeyu...why does that name sound familiar?"
Lu Qing thought about it carefully for a long time, but in the end, it was Gu Xicheng who remembered it.
"Isn't this the person who brought you to my company before and wanted to add you on WeChat!"
Lu Qing then remembered that when she visited Gu Yu at the hospital, she couldn't get a taxi because of the heavy rain, so she took Huang Zeyu's car to go to Gu Xicheng.
Huang Zeyu also asked for her contact information, but she gave it to Gu Xicheng.
"Did this person contact you again after that?" Lu Qing asked Gu Xicheng.
Gu Xicheng opened his phone and showed it directly to Lu Qing:
“He recently approached me about a project, but I felt it wasn’t a good fit and declined.”
"So he was the one who caused all this trouble today!" Lu Qing's voice held a hint of anger.
After a moment of silence, Lu Qing made the call directly.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
"Mr. Gu, I didn't expect you to call me. Have you changed your mind and want to cooperate with me?"
"Huang Zeyu, this is Lu Qing!"
Upon hearing Lu Qing's voice, there was a pause of a few seconds on the other end, followed by a low laugh:
"Hehehe... Miss Lu, I didn't expect it to be you calling me."
"What? Have you changed your mind and want to have dinner with me?"
