Chapter 154 The Incident Escalates



That evening, a hashtag titled "Qin Sheng, the Socialite of Ancheng" appeared silently on Weibo, its popularity steadily rising, and finally, after being reposted and revealed by several influential figures, it suddenly shocked the entire internet.

It's not that Qin Sheng's popularity on the internet has reached this level, but rather that the previous assault incident had not yet received a response, and now this incident has suddenly surfaced, driving netizens completely crazy!

Especially after photos of Qin Sheng appearing at the police station surfaced again not long after, netizens' criticism almost overwhelmed the entire internet!

[Holy crap! This is truly mind-blowing! Assault, prostitution, and ending up in the police station—is this what they call a rich heiress? I'm just laughing. The Qin family must be a den of iniquity!]

[Wow, my poor Shiwei is really pitiful. She's been targeted by such a scumbag! No wonder she resorts to violence at the slightest provocation. Maybe she's just jealous of my fairy-like Shiwei's ethereal beauty and pristine purity!]

Why, why would such a beautiful girl be like this? Qin Sheng, I'm so disappointed in you, so disappointed in this world!

[With such character, you don't even deserve such a face, Qin Sheng! I curse you to be splashed with acid soon! So despicable!]

[I just threw up! [vomiting][vomiting][vomiting] Qin's should go bankrupt, stop embarrassing yourself!]

[I used to think that although this young lady was a bit hot-tempered, the story of "slapping a popular actress for her benefactor" was exactly like a novel heroine's script, so cool and awesome. But now it seems... well, let's just say it's not a good story.]

[People from Ancheng, if I'm not mistaken, some of the people in the photo are quite well-known entrepreneurs in Ancheng, but they all have families. So, Qin Sheng isn't just a prostitute, but also a mistress?]

What a waste of such a stunning face!

Destroy me, I'm tired.

[...]

The Qin family.

After receiving countless private messages filled with insults, threats, and curses, Luo Mingfang, the head of Qin's public relations department, frowned deeply and finally slammed his hand on the table: "We can't wait any longer!"

The public relations staff lined up in front of him exchanged glances, and finally a young man stepped forward and asked, "Minister Luo, what do you mean?"

Luo Mingfang's gaze swept over everyone, his face darkening, his voice even deeper: "In just half a day, Qin's stock has already dropped by 20%. If this continues, who knows what will happen?!"

"The Qin family has been established for over thirty years, defeating countless competitors to become the leading enterprise in Ancheng. After all these years, the Qin family has never been good at business warfare. Are they really going to be ruined by public opinion by some unknown Qin family heiress?!"

"I am a member of the Qin family, and I absolutely cannot stand by and watch this happen!"

"Clarify! We must clarify immediately!"

The young man's expression changed: "But that's President Qin's daughter. President Qin only gave the order yesterday. Before he notified us, our public relations department was to observe the situation and not act without authorization. Now if... how are we going to explain this to President Qin when he comes back?"

He should have kept quiet, because the moment he brought it up, Luo Mingfang's brows furrowed even more: "I can understand President Qin's love for his daughter, but President Qin is President Qin, and the Qin family is the Qin family. There's no reason to drag the entire Qin family down for the sake of the Qin family's private affairs."

"The Qin family is indeed named after Qin, but don't get it wrong. The Qin family also has other shareholders. It's not a one-man show by the Qin family."

His gaze swept over the man at the door, his eyes lit up, and he quickly went to greet him: "Director Ruan, Director Jin, what brings you here?"

Jin Quan smiled and patted Luo Mingfang on the shoulder, praising, "I heard everything you said just now, very good."

"As employees of the Qin family, we should have the spirit of considering the interests of the Qin family. We can't be like some people who drag the entire Qin family into a quagmire for their own selfish reasons."

"Go ahead, do as you want. If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility. I absolutely won't let anyone lay a finger on you!"

Luo Mingfang's eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily: "Thank you for your trust, both directors!"

He immediately turned his gaze back, his expression turning cold: "Why aren't you making a move!"

Most of the public relations staff were still hesitant, but when they met the gazes of their superiors and the two directors, they exchanged glances and then acted as instructed.

Only the young man who spoke first bowed to the three of them as his eyes shifted: "I suddenly remembered that something came up at home, and I need to ask for a day off today."

Without waiting for a reply, he walked past the three people and left the office.

Jin Quan saw this and just sneered, "You ignorant fool, once this matter is resolved, find a reason to fire him."

Luo Mingfang was also quite dissatisfied, and upon hearing this, he repeatedly agreed.

Meanwhile, at the Pei family.

Pei Yongshou and Qin Xuehua have been having a really tough time lately.

Not only have almost all of the company's projects been halted, but wherever they go, people point and whisper about them. Even shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues that have a good relationship with the Qin family have refused them entry.

Forget about doing business with them; hardly anyone is even willing to associate with them anymore.

Of course, the worst off was Pei Yu.

It was still the same face, but Pei Yu's expression had almost completely lost the sunny vitality of a young man; his whole being was enveloped in a thick aura of gloom.

He was scrolling through videos on his phone at that moment.

Looking down, the phone screen displayed some obscene images, and occasionally, indecent sounds could be heard.

But these scenes, which used to excite him after just two minutes, now only made Pei Yu more and more irritable.

A savage glint appeared in Pei Yu's eyes as he slammed his phone to the ground and abruptly looked up at Qin Xuehua: "Didn't you say that as long as we found that so-called God of Medicine, Shi Fang, we could cure my illness? Where is he?! Where is he?!"

"It's been almost half a month! Why haven't we heard anything yet!"

Qin Xuehua was taken aback, but when she saw her precious son's bloodshot eyes, she felt a pang of heartache and quickly stepped forward to hug him. "Yu'er, don't worry, just wait a little longer. Mom has already placed an order on that world bounty list. As long as Shifang accepts the order, your illness will be cured!"

Pei Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and he shoved the person aside: "Wait, wait! It's always the same thing, I've waited long enough! I've had enough!"

"I'm telling you, three days, three days at most. If you still can't bring him here, I...I..." His gaze swept over the fruit knife on the table, and Pei Yu suddenly grabbed the handle and held it to his neck. "I'll die right here!"

Qin Xuehua was terrified: "Yu'er, don't be impulsive! You...you put the knife down first! Mom promises...Mom promises she will definitely find the person!"

Pei Yu stared at her with wide eyes, saying nothing and not putting down his knife.

Bae Young-soo, who had been sitting silently on the sofa, looked up and saw this scene, feeling utterly exhausted.

He smashed the ashtray next to him and yelled, "Haven't you all made enough of a scene?!"
