In the CEO's office of the Su Group, Xu Shuming meticulously examined the photos provided by the bodyguard.
Xu Shuming: "Is this the person who drove Su Hui that day?"
The bodyguard nodded.
Bodyguard: "Moreover, this person is an excellent driver. We tried to intercept him from both sides, but he still found opportunities to escape."
Bodyguard: "Right, here is the information we found."
Xu Shuming looked at it.
Xu Shuming: "He's an executive at ATL! A Swartz national?"
Xu Shuming could hardly believe that such an outstanding person would be by Su Hui's side!
More importantly, he didn't know him!
Could it be that Su Hui had been plotting behind his back all this time?
But no matter how carefully he looked, he couldn't find any connection between Su Hui and this man named Ou Yunchen!
Most importantly, ATL did not have Su Hui's name either.
However, Xu Shuming's overly sensitive nerves made him feel that Ou Yunchen's appearance was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen him.
Xu Shuming: "Lawyer Ma and him..."
Xu Shuming suddenly remembered that one day, after a big fight with Su Hui and leaving home, he had a close encounter with Lawyer Ma's car!
Lawyer Ma was not driving at the time, and the person driving... wasn't it Ou Yunchen!!!
Xu Shuming: "Keep a close eye on Su Hui, and this man!"

Online, the public relations team responded to the video content immediately, and everything proceeded as planned.
Unbeknownst to them, netizens were led by the public relations team and withdrew from the TBP scandal battlefield.
Wang Ziran: "Yiyi, did you see the trending searches? Ou Yunchen is sleeping with female celebrities!!!"
Su Ruiyi threw a cushion at him.
Su Ruiyi: "I saw it! It's all fake! Our CEO would never betray me!"
Wang Ziran: "What do you mean fake? There's video evidence! That actress even went into his house!"
Su Ruiyi: "So what if she went into his house? It doesn't prove anything. Besides, is ten minutes too short to do anything?"
Wang Ziran: "Maybe that's just how long it takes him..."
Su Ruiyi raised her hand into a fist, scaring Wang Ziran into covering his head.
Su Ruiyi: "Do you want to die!"
Wang Ziran: "You're not even angry about something like this?"
Su Ruiyi: "What's there to be angry about? Maybe it's for publicity."
Wang Ziran: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe they'll get together while seeking publicity."
Su Ruiyi: "Hiss! What's wrong with you today? Why are you always contradicting me!"
Wang Ziran: "Yiyi, you might not realize it, but the fact that you're not angry means you don't really like him much! Instead, you always lose your temper with me! Think about it, am I more important to you than he is?"
Su Ruiyi: "Not at all! He and I have already..."
Su Ruiyi suddenly became shy. She remembered the kiss in the misty rain and unconsciously touched her lips, as if that feeling was still there.
Wang Ziran: "What!!! When did you guys have sex!!! How could you do this!!!"
Su Ruiyi: "Aiya, keep your voice down. We haven't reached that point yet! It was just... kissing..."
Wang Ziran: "Su Ruiyi! You..."
A surge of anger rushed into Wang Ziran's head. He picked up the cushion and raised it high, intending to throw it at Su Ruiyi, but fearing he might hurt her, he threw it hard on the ground and punched the back of the sofa several times!
Su Ruiyi: "Wang Ziran, stop targeting our Ou Yunchen every time! He even saved me, and I know what kind of person he is!"
Su Ruiyi became serious, as if deliberately drawing a line. If Wang Ziran crossed it, he would be abandoned by Su Ruiyi.
Wang Ziran finally understood that Su Ruiyi's deliberate protection was telling him one thing clearly: she had fallen in love with that man!
Even the best of friends couldn't compare to his life-saving grace.
Wang Ziran: "What if I object to you being together?"
Su Ruiyi: "Then we won't even be friends."
Wang Ziran: "Su Ruiyi, are you serious?"
Su Ruiyi: "Yes."
Wang Ziran turned away. As many times as his heart had fluttered for Su Ruiyi in the past, now his heart was pierced by countless needles, causing a钻心的 pain.
At this moment, he finally understood that the side effect of love was to ignite hatred.
Wang Ziran: "You'll regret it, Su Ruiyi! I'll show you Ou Yunchen's true face!"
Su Ruiyi: "What are you doing? Don't touch him!!!"
Wang Ziran: "Don't worry, I won't just resort to violence like I did with those men when I was a kid. I'll make you see clearly the other side hidden beneath Ou Yunchen's mask!"
Su Ruiyi: "Wang Ziran, what are you doing!!! Come back!!! Wang Ziran!!!"
But this time, no matter how Su Ruiyi called his name, Wang Ziran resolutely left. Perhaps he had already made up his mind not to turn back.
If Su Ruiyi still thought Wang Ziran would only deal with her peers like he used to, either through violence or intimidation, then she was mistaken.
Even though those childish tricks were effective, from then on, no boy dared to have improper thoughts about Su Ruiyi.
But now, Wang Ziran had to face Ou Yunchen. Even though he knew his sordid past and unfathomable schemes, he had once been soft-hearted because of Su Ruiyi.
But this time, he heard that Su Ruiyi had already kissed Ou Yunchen, and Wang Ziran finally made up his mind!
As long as Ou Yunchen was driven away, everything could return to the starting point, the day when only Wang Ziran was by Su Ruiyi's side.

- Wang Ziran on the phone -
Chairman's Secretary: "Young Master Wang, your father is still in a meeting..."
Wang Ziran: "I'm not looking for him, I'm looking for you!"
Chairman's Secretary: "Young Master Wang, what are your orders?"
Wang Ziran: "Do you know the entertainment company CEO who's been very popular online recently?"
Chairman's Secretary: "Is it that Ou Yunchen?"
Wang Ziran: "Yes, it's him. I find him very annoying. I want you to find a way to mess with him!"
Chairman's Secretary: "I am too slow-witted, I don't understand what Young Master Wang wants us to do."
Wang Ziran: "I have Ou Yunchen's real identity. Help me post it online."
The Chairman's Secretary was silent for a moment.
Chairman's Secretary: "Do you have proof?"
Wang Ziran: "Of course, and a witness too!"
Chairman's Secretary: "Alright, I'll arrange it right away."
Wang Ziran: "Wait."
Chairman's Secretary: "Young Master Wang, is there anything else?"
Wang Ziran: "Don't tell my dad about this. This is my personal grievance. I hope you can do it cleanly."
Chairman's Secretary: "Understood, understood. It won't involve the Wang family."
- Wang Ziran ends call -
The Chairman's Secretary immediately sent people to discuss the information Wang Ziran had with a media contact who had some connections.
To distance themselves, all major media outlets that could be implicated were excluded. Therefore, they decided to give this kind of information directly to Fan Zhijie, who was involved in the online debate.

- Fan Zhijie on the phone -
Fan Zhijie: "Hey, boss, I know, I know."
Fan Zhijie: "Mmm-hmm, understood, understood."
Fan Zhijie: "Okay boss, you can rest assured."
- Fan Zhijie ends call -

The little paparazzi stared at his boss, having never seen him sweating profusely while on a phone call, as if he was afraid of losing his life with every word.
Only after Fan Zhijie hung up the phone with a subservient bow did the little paparazzi lean forward.
Little paparazzi: "Boss, wipe your sweat. Who was on the phone?"
Fan Zhijie: "Go away, don't ask what you shouldn't."
Little paparazzi: "Oh..."
The little paparazzi sat back in his seat disheartened, while Fan Zhijie continued to sweat profusely...
This sudden phone call was not necessarily good news, nor was it absolutely bad, but it was a task from above. If done well, there would be no reward, but if done poorly, it could cost him his head!
Fan Zhijie: "You, come here."
Fan Zhijie looked around and finally chose the little paparazzi he trusted the most.
Fan Zhijie: "I have a difficult task to assign to you, and only you can be involved."
The little paparazzi's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Little paparazzi: "Does that mean I get to keep all the profits?"
Fan Zhijie nodded with a guilty conscience. This little paparazzi had been in the business for so long because he was short of money. As long as he was paid, he would do anything.
Little paparazzi: "How much will I get?"
Fan Zhijie: "You won't be shortchanged! Will you do it or not?"
Little paparazzi: "I'll do it! I'm an idiot if I don't do it for money!"
Fan Zhijie: "You need to create a new account, not one from the company, understand?"
The little paparazzi suddenly looked troubled. Paparazzi feared real-name registration the most. If they were found out, they wouldn't be chased, but they'd have people knocking on their doors daily!
Fan Zhijie: "Don't worry, if anything happens, I'll cover for you!"
Little paparazzi: "Then you have to pay me upfront, at least this much."
Fan Zhijie: "Fifty thousand yuan? I'll transfer it to you immediately!"
Little paparazzi: "Five hundred thousand!"
Fan Zhijie: "Are you crazy! You dare to ask me for five hundred thousand!"
Little paparazzi: "Don't think I can't see it. From the way you were on the phone, I guessed that this project must be very dangerous. And you want me to use a non-company account, isn't it just to use me as a scapegoat if something goes wrong?"
Fan Zhijie: "Fine, as long as you do it, I'll pay you half now, and the rest after it's done."
Little paparazzi: "No, payment in full upfront."
Fan Zhijie: "You..."
The little paparazzi was very firm. If he hadn't been desperate for money, he wouldn't have taken such a risk.
Fan Zhijie had been in this line of work for at least thirty to forty years and had too many secrets. If he hadn't offended so many people, he would have been in trouble long ago if the higher-ups had decided to move against him. Therefore, the two of them hit it off.
Fan Zhijie: "Alright, I'll go get the money for you now!"
