The more a message is concealed, the faster it will spread online.
Jiang Nian was still asleep in the room. Surrounded by the familiar scent of a man, she always slept very soundly.
Lin Qianming knew that his boss and his mistress were resting, but he still had to knock on the door.
His deliberately lowered voice came from outside the door, cautiously: "Mr. Bo, would you like to come out for a moment?"
Si Boye frowned immediately.
Lin Qian was the most perceptive.
If something hadn't happened that he couldn't handle, he wouldn't have bothered him at this time.
He immediately narrowed his eyes and gently released the girl from his arms.
His expression sharpened the moment he stood up, buttoning his shirt as he walked out. The instant the door closed, his voice was as cold as an icy pool: "What happened?"
Lin Qian took a deep breath: "I don't know where the online promoters came from, but they spread Miss Nian's video."
"Although the matter was suppressed and did not trend on social media, it has already spread online."
Upon hearing Lin Qian's words, Si Boye's forehead veins bulged slightly.
His eyes were terrifyingly cold.
Was it the mastermind who hired this person? They really came prepared.

Indeed, many people have heard the news.
Another villa in Tanzhou.
When Joey saw the video circulating online, she suddenly broke the candy in her hand into pieces.
She raised her head, and her long, thick eyelashes cast a half-circle shadow on her eyelids.
"Didn't J's boyfriend suppress the news? Who leaked the video?"
“I don’t know, Miss,” the butler shook his head. “There were too many people there today; anyone could have been involved.”
"Take that video and find out who filmed it," Joey's delicate face darkened. "I don't care if the person who filmed the video released it themselves, or who they showed it to or who they sold it to, find out the source."
Whether she sets up a scheme to bring things to a climax or to a close, only she can decide.
She hasn't decided what to do next.
Which idiot dared to spread the video here before her?
-
The Qin family.
In the living room, Qin Xiaoxiao was holding a fork, eating fruit that the maid had carefully cut, while idly playing on her phone.
When she saw the video, her eyes widened and she yelled at Qin Ji, who was eating in the restaurant.
"elder brother!!"
"Jiang Nian is in trouble. People online are saying she killed someone when she was ten or eleven years old!"
Upon hearing the word "murder," Qin Ji nearly spat out his entire mouthful of rice.
"What the hell?"
Qin Ji didn't take it seriously, rolling his eyes. "What kind of nonsense and unreliable news is this? Your brain is ruined by watching this kind of thing every day."
"It's true, okay? There's even a video!" Qin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and took her phone over. "If you don't believe me, see for yourself. And it's also said online that Jiang Nian has already been expelled from school."
Are you serious?
Qin Ji was incredulous and snatched the phone away.
Qin Xiaoxiao, however, wore a gloating expression.
"No wonder Jiang Nian was so terrifying when she was fighting in the boxing ring. It turns out she was a madwoman and a murderer."
"Being exposed for murder isn't something that can be resolved simply by expelling her from school. I think the next step will be for the police to come after her."
-
Police station.
There was a knock on the door of the director's office.
It was the same young policeman who had taken Jiang Nian back to the police station last time who walked in with his cell phone.
With a serious expression: "Director, my colleagues in the Internet Monitoring Department said that a video of a little girl committing murder, which was leaked from today's English-Chinese lecture, is going viral online and its impact is growing."
"The little girl in this video is said to be Jiang Nian, the high school girl who was personally received by you when you came back last time and was on the government's top white list."
"What do you think we should do about this? Should we bring the person back for questioning first?"
Director Zhang frowned and immediately took the phone to watch the video.
After seeing it, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"No need to investigate, I know what happened."
The young policeman looked surprised: "You know?"
Director Zhang said, "Tell the people in the internet monitoring department to increase monitoring efforts first. Block all the videos circulating online and see if we can control public opinion."
"If it gets out of control, we'll issue a statement then."

When Jiang Nian woke up, she turned on her phone and a barrage of calls and text messages exploded out of her.
From Han Xu, Tang Qiuyue, Lin Ruru, Chi Lin, Song Sichen, Qi Yi, Qin Ji, Uncle Zhang...
The story spread online.
To Jiang Nian's surprise, all of her brothers called her as well.
It's highly likely that they already knew about this.
Because they couldn't get in touch with her, her older brother left her a message in the group chat of our loving family.
[Niannian, we're all waiting for you at home. Come home immediately when you see this message.]
Jiang Nian didn't know who "we" were either.
He was going home immediately, and his tone was unusually serious.
Jiang Nian couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Awake, baby," Si Boye said as he opened the door and entered. Seeing the girl's strange expression, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Nian exchanged a glance with him: "My brothers know, I need to go home right now."
Although Jiang Nian didn't care what others thought of her, her brothers were her closest relatives. It was fine if they didn't know, but now that they did, she was determined to go back and explain things clearly to put their minds at ease.
"I'll take you," Si Boye said immediately.
-
The Ji family.
With a click, the door opened.
Jiang Nian was still wearing her Yingzhong school uniform.
When I got home, I looked up and saw my five older brothers sitting upright on the sofa in the living room. As soon as they heard me, they all stood up at the same time.
Ji Yanli came over immediately, his anxiety almost overflowing: "Niannian, where have you been? Why haven't you been answering our calls?"
"Sorry, brother, I fell asleep at my friend's house and my phone is off."
Ji Qiyue took a deep breath and grabbed his younger sister: "Niannian, were you really expelled from Yingzhong? Is the little girl in that video circulating online really you?"
“Niannian, tell your brothers the truth,” Ji Xiuan said calmly. “No matter what, with your brothers here, you will definitely be safe.”
Even my second and fourth brothers rushed home from Beijing and the film crew, waiting for my answer.
“That video is real,” Jiang Nian raised her eyes, “and the person in it is indeed me when I was eleven years old in the United States.”
Upon hearing this answer, Ji Yanli's anxiety finally subsided.
In an instant, she resignedly pursed her lips tightly: "...Okay, I understand, brother."
"My brother will find someone to handle this. It's good that you dropped out of school. You go back to your room and rest. My brother will find a lawyer to come to the house."
"No need to find a lawyer, brother, no one will come to arrest me."
Seeing the puzzled look on Ji Yanli's face, Jiang Nian looked at Ji Xiuan and said, "Third Brother, you were studying in the United States six years ago, right? I don't know if you heard about a case back then."
