For her, being overtaken by a mediocre student and even losing her guaranteed admission to an intercontinental university was extremely humiliating.
"Let's go home first."
Ling Yunlong walked towards Su Yu and the others with a gloomy expression, his deep voice concealing a suppressed anger.
He originally thought that if there was solid evidence to prove that Li Tao had drugged Su Yu, then even if Su Yu's reputation was slightly damaged, it wouldn't implicate him.
At best, he was just a family member of a pitiful and innocent victim.
The problem is that the police have made it clear that the existing evidence is simply insufficient to prove that Li Tao drugged Su Yu.
If we investigate further, it could lead to even more trouble.
With no other options, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and walk quickly out of the police station lobby, enduring the mocking or contemptuous gazes of those around him.
On the way home, Ling Yunlong sighed frequently, completely ignoring Su Yu's attempts to be friendly. He leaned back in the car, looking exhausted.
"Yunlong, I want to go for a pregnancy check-up first thing tomorrow morning."
Su Yu held her belly with both hands, trying her best to look pitiful, hoping that Ling Yunlong would let go of his resentment as soon as possible because she was pregnant.
"What kind of time is this? You still dare to go to the hospital? Why don't you call and have a doctor come to your home to do a check-up?"
Ling Yun rubbed his temples, his head throbbing with pain. After careful consideration, he finally said in a deep voice:
"Tomorrow morning, I'll hold a press conference to show our united stance as husband and wife. A few days later, you can launch a public welfare campaign through the Women's Federation and other channels to care for women living alone. Although the police have stated that it's difficult to convict Li Tao without solid evidence, we can take a different approach. By using public welfare activities to protect women's rights and a series of public relations initiatives, we can make the public mistakenly believe that you are the victim in this matter."
"Can simply launching public welfare activities to protect women's rights really reverse public opinion?" Su Yu asked with some skepticism.
"Public opinion is not so easy to reverse. It's just a desperate attempt to revive a lost cause."
Ling Yunlong sighed deeply, his mind preoccupied with how to save face.
Su Yu's mind was elsewhere.
She glared at Ling Mo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and said resentfully:
"I don't know which rotten-hearted villain is behind this! They're spreading those vile rumors online and even calling me a modern-day Pan Jinlian, using the most offensive language. Yunlong, I think the most urgent thing is to find out who spreads these rumors, otherwise no matter how much effort we put in, it's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yunlong's face turned even greener.
Damn it, is this woman brainless?
Why bring up Pan Jinlian when he's at his most depressed?
If she is a modern-day Pan Jinlian, then what is he?
A modern-day Wu Dalang?!
Ling Yunlong's blood pressure spiked with anger. His face hardened, and he spoke in an unfriendly tone:
"This is clearly the result of capital operations. Do you think one person alone can guide public opinion?"
"Even if it's a capital operation, there should be a mastermind behind it! Even if the mastermind can't be found, at least quell the overwhelming public opinion on the Internet."
Su Yu was driven to the brink of madness by the negative public opinion on the internet.
Even someone like her, who is active in the social circles of wealthy wives, has been feeling incredibly embarrassed lately, not only when attending gatherings of these wives, but also when running into acquaintances in the street.
"Lowering the trending topics now seems like an attempt to cover up the truth, and it could easily backfire in the public opinion battle. Let's wait a while before making a decision." Ling Yunlong frowned, gave a perfunctory reply, and then closed his eyes wearily.
Sitting next to him, Ling Tian was worried about losing the bet.
She simply couldn't bring herself to kneel before Ling Mo on the main stage in front of the entire school.
After much deliberation, she could only think of feigning illness and requesting leave.
The problem is that taking sick leave is not a long-term solution; she can't take leave every day, can she?
Left with no other choice, she sent a distress signal to Liang Feifan, hoping that he could persuade Ling Mo to let her go.
[Brother Feifan, I'm so sad, my eyes are all swollen from crying.]
Liang Feifan had just recovered from his injuries and completed his discharge procedures. He hadn't intended to pay any attention to Ling Tian, but out of politeness, he still asked her a perfunctory question:
【Sweetie, what's wrong?】
[Brother Feifan, my sister wants me to go up to the school's main stage tomorrow morning, kneel down in front of the whole school, and admit defeat to her. I don't want to do it, but I'm worried that if I don't, my sister will retaliate. What should I do? I'm so scared... *crying*
Why did she do that? Mentioning Ling Mo, Liang Feifan instantly became interested.
Ling Tian pondered for a moment, then casually picked out a false statement:
My sister insisted on competing with me, and after winning through underhanded means, she forced me to go on stage and kneel before her. I think she did this out of jealousy. She once said that she would rather throw away anything she had used or didn't want than give it up.
Upon receiving the message, Liang Feifan was so angry that he almost smashed his phone on the ground.
Ling Mo is such a naughty guy who needs to be taught a lesson!
Even though he was the one who didn't want her, she still had the nerve to compare him to trash she casually threw away!
Based on this alone, he wished he could fly to Ling Mo and snap her neck.
After a while, once his turbulent emotions had calmed down somewhat, he replied to Ling Tian's message:
Don't be afraid, I'll pick you up and take you to the high school tomorrow. I absolutely won't let her hurt you in the slightest.
