Chapter 23 Reporting the Crime, Playing Games in a Crisis



The more people spoke up for Qu Jian'er, the more Zhu Ruoqi wanted to prove Qu Jian'er's inherent flaws.

Once outside the virtual world, she was no longer afraid of Qu Jian'er's fighting prowess and immediately arrogantly raised her chin at him.

Zhu Ruoqi snorted coldly, "You have too many bad records in the past, so it's hard for anyone to say anything about it."

Upon hearing this...

Gao Jiexi crossed his arms and said, "Yes, if only one person thought you seduced them first, perhaps there would be some investigation. But there's more than one person here who thinks so, right?"

Even though Qu Jiaorou withdrew voluntarily and was hospitalized for treatment, Gao Jiexi still felt that Qu Jian'er had taken Qu Jiaorou's guest spot. He was more than happy to take the opportunity to criticize Qu Jian'er.

Wu Na frowned: "You can't say that. Those things from the past are just rumors. Let's stick to the facts..."

Zhu Ruoqi interrupted Wu Na: "What do you mean by sticking to the facts? Let's discuss whether she seduced someone or not. Don't turn around and accuse her, like a thief crying 'stop thief!' and make Teacher Wu suffer injustice!"

The pressure suddenly fell on Qu Jian'er.

More and more people are beginning to re-examine certain aspects of Qu Jian'er's past, which are still fresh in everyone's memory.

Qu Jian'er retorted, "It's like Cao Cao sleeping—what a load of crap! Is it that he can't say it, or that he simply doesn't dare to say it, or that he doesn't want to speak up for me? You've wronged him, young man, is your shamelessness wholesale?"

Everyone was rendered speechless by Qu Jian'er's numerous and flawed remarks.

Gao Jiexi wanted to say something, but his manager pulled him behind him.

Zhu Ruoqi continued, "Vulgar and disgusting! Why are you criticizing everyone? It's not like we're bullying you!"

She deliberately escalated the conflict, exaggerating the point of contention between a few individuals into one involving everyone.

She was determined to kick Qu Jian'er off the stage, convinced that no one would trust someone with such a long history of misdeeds.

But I waited a long time.

Zhu Ruoqi did not receive any response from the crowd.

Little did they know, it was just a recording session. Most people began to change their opinions, convinced that Qu Jian'er, who was handsome, beautiful, strong, and ruthless, was not as terrible as rumored.

Everyone hesitated for a moment.

They are simply considering whether to take sides.

The newly formed group of cookie fans, after realizing what was happening, quickly retorted to Zhu Ruoqi.

"Teacher Qu, don't worry, we believe in you. We will testify for you and will not let you be slandered again!"

"Teacher Qu is so beautiful, she could have any kind of boyfriend she wants, why would she need to seduce her?"

"Exactly. I always thought it was strange that so many people were criticizing Teacher Qu. Turns out, someone was stirring up trouble."

Qu Jian'er smiled but remained silent.

When Zhu Ruoqi's face looked slightly ferocious.

Qu Jian'er smiled meaningfully: "Zhu Ruoqi, did I not tell you this before?"

Zhu Ruoqi's heart skipped a beat: "Wh-what?"

As everyone regrouped, Zhu Ruoqi felt increasingly uncertain, sensing that something was amiss.

Hearing Qu Jian'er mention her name, she felt an increasingly ominous premonition, fearing that Qu Jian'er might say something shocking.

Qu Jian'er blinked: "Your body contains a wisp of his essence."

The words were spoken in a veiled manner.

But anyone with eyes could tell.

When her relationship was exposed, Zhu Ruoqi retorted, her lips turning white: "You're making baseless accusations! Teacher Wu and I are innocent! You, you have no proof whatsoever!"

Qu Jian'er retorted, "Now that's just me making baseless accusations, who was it that said I was talking the loudest just now?"

Unable to win an argument with Qu Jian'er, Zhu Ruoqi bit her lower lip and slowly backed away, trying to distance herself from the other woman.

Wu Mu gritted his teeth: "Qu Jian'er, shut up!"

Qu Jian'er looked at the clueless person and said, "Your nose is white and your forehead is dark. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be in jail tonight."

Wu Ruoqi spoke softer and softer: "Stop talking nonsense, it can't be...it can't be."

Qu Jian'er deliberately comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, just because he tricked you into bed, he will definitely be punished by law. You don't need to be afraid of him anymore."

Qu Jian'er's words of comfort sounded perfectly natural, yet they sent a chill down Zhu Ruoqi's spine, causing her to back away in fright.

After the police arrived.

Qu Jian'er was called aside by Director Liu.

Director Liu said very seriously, "Qu Jian'er, there's something you might not know."

Qu Jian'er finished speaking in one breath: "Wu Mu is a member of a collateral branch of the Wu family of Chixing."

As early as yesterday, she had already figured out the people around her, knowing their character and personality.

Even their family backgrounds are crystal clear.

The Alpha system, where the empire is located, has countless planets. Besides the main planet Blue Star, the most notable ones include Red Star, Moon Star, Mercury, Jupiter, and so on.

Director Liu was very surprised: "You knew?"

Qu Jian'er nodded: "I know."

Qu Jian'er knew as soon as she heard it.

Director Liu was furious.

He didn't expect the other party to be so fearless, and he looked anxious.

Director Liu worriedly said, "You know that you still insist on holding him back? Many people have heard about his ways. Although today's incident happened suddenly, everyone trusts you. However, many people don't want to get involved because he is a member of the Wu family."

Director Sun added fuel to the fire: "What's wrong with the Wu family? If this really blows up, even if the Wu family is a powerful military family, the main branch might not protect a collateral branch."

Although the Sun and Liu families were not large clans, they were not afraid of the Wu family's counterattack in the face of evidence.

After all, in an empire where the law reigns supreme, no one would be willing to bail out a criminal.

Director Liu nudged Director Sun and said, "Shut up! Aren't you angry enough? I haven't even said anything to you yet. Who told you to call the police on your own? If this gets out of hand, it won't be good for anyone."

Director Sun asked, puzzled, "Are you afraid of this?"

Director Liu laughed in exasperation: "I'm not afraid, and neither are you. But how can you be sure no one will come after her? She doesn't even have a company behind her, and besides, Wu Mu's fans are known for their fighting spirit in the industry; she's only just started to gain traction!"
