“Go, you know what to do,” LI Yanchen said as he tapped his cigarette, his gaze icy and ruthless. “Get all the dirt on Su Yang from the entertainment circle, and even if it’s fake, make it look real.”

“It doesn’t matter if others believe it or not, as long as the netizens do.”

The internet was the easiest place to manipulate public opinion.

It wasn’t the media reporters or the star teams with powerful backgrounds that truly controlled public opinion, but people like Li Yancheng with significant capital.

The major agencies in the entertainment industry couldn’t touch Su Yang, but the LI family could.

The secretary didn’t dare to voice any objections. He swallowed hard. “What about Miss Bai?”

“Bring her here immediately,” Li Yancheng’s eyes were cold. “Daring to deceive me, she must be out of her mind!”

The secretary almost stumbled as he left.

Shortly afterward, Bai Jinxi was brought in by two bodyguards.

LI Yanchen raised his hand. “Leave us.”

The bodyguards threw Bai Jinxi onto the floor and left after saluting.

Bai Jinxi had no idea what was happening. She forced a smile. “Yanchen, what do you mean by this, I—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Li Yanchen grabbed her by the throat.

“Su Yang is your little boyfriend, not your brother,” he said, his voice grim. “You participated in ‘The Birth of an Empoyee’ program because you couldn’t stand the close relationship between Si Fuqing and Su Yang, right?”

“!”

His words were like a thunderclap in Bai Jinxi’s ears, leaving her mind blank.

How did LI Yanchen find out?!

Seeing her expression, LI Yanchen understood. He tightened his grip, a bloodthirsty smile on his lips. “Did you really think you could deceive me forever? If I hadn’t taken the time to investigate, I wouldn’t have known you planned to make a fool of me!”

He threw Bai Jinxi to the ground and looked down at her.

Bai Jinxi panicked. “Yanchen, I didn’t… I really didn’t. I broke up with him before returning home! I wasn’t sincere with him, I just needed someone to protect me in a foreign country. Yanchen, believe me, you’re the only one I truly care about!”

LI Yanchen was her only support, she couldn’t afford to lose him.

“It doesn’t matter anymore.” LI Yanchen clasped his hands together, his gaze chilling. “Soon, you’ll see how your little boyfriend meets his end.”

Bai Jinxi’s heart skipped a beat. “Yanchen?”

Su Yang was a top star, with so many eyes on him. Could LI Yanchen really make him disappear without a trace?

Bai Jinxi began to feel fear.

“Take her away,” LI Yanchen ordered dismissively. “Lock her up. No one is to release her without my permission.”

The two bodyguards returned and forcefully dragged Bai Jinxi away.

LI Yanchen stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, his expression still dark.

The fact that Su Yang was Bai Jinxi’s ex-boyfriend was only one of the reasons he wanted to destroy Su Yang.

More importantly, Su Yang had a good relationship with Si Fuqing.

LI Yanchen had sent people to invite Si Fuqing three times, but each attempt failed. Once, they even accidentally encountered the Duke of Muston, receiving a severe warning.

LI Yanchen, being proud by nature, couldn’t tolerate this.

He didn’t have the strength to confront the Duke of Muston, but he could certainly deal with a celebrity.

However, Su Yang could be kept alive temporarily to lure Si Fuqing.

Thinking this, LI Yanchen sent another instruction to his secretary.

Once Su Yang’s reputation was completely ruined in the entertainment industry, becoming a pariah, he would have him captured and locked up.

After giving the orders, he resumed reviewing documents.

Northern State, An City.

Early the next morning.

Si Fuqing emerged from the gaming pod.

Breakfast had been prepared by Ye Zhenmian before he left. An hour ago, Nian Yi’an had already taken his and Lin Jihuan’s rice balls to school.

Nian Tingchu also went out to work, leaving Si Fuqing alone at home.

She took a bite of a hot bun and sipped on warm milk, finally feeling some of her fatigue dissipate.

Halfway through her meal, the doorbell rang.

Little Bai ran over, barking, and jumped up to press the door handle.

Si Fuqing sighed. “…”

This dog, Pixiu, definitely smelled gold.

The door opened, and Yu Xiheng walked in.

He was still wearing his impeccably tailored gray suit, the sunlight casting a golden hue on his handsome features, exuding an inherent nobility.

Si Fuqing moved aside. “Boss, have a seat. The buns are still warm, let’s eat together.”

Yu Xiheng sat across from her, looking her over. His brow arched. “You look exhausted. Were you fighting a war last night?”

Si Fuqing sighed. “…”

In a way, her boss wasn’t wrong.

She had slept in the gaming pod last night, set to sleep mode for seven hours, which meant seventy hours in the Great Xia Dynasty.

She had returned to Yanmen with JIANG Xuanjin, just in time to encounter a small barbarian squad planning a sneak attack, and joined the battlefield.

As a regular strategist in the Great Xia Dynasty, she couldn’t match the soldiers in stamina.

In the end, she was carried back on horseback by Emperor Yin himself.

It was quite embarrassing.

“I dreamt of a war,” Si Fuqing said, resting her chin on her hand. “I guess what you think about during the day, you dream about at night.”

“Ah, the nation’s heroine.” Yu Xiheng’s eyes were deep. “You’re playing JIANG Zhaoyue.”

“Actually, I’m not just playing JIANG Zhaoyue,” Si Fuqing said, finishing her last bite of the hot bun and wiping her hands. “I’m representing the countless sons and daughters of the Great Xia, with loyal souls and undying passion.”

“Loyal souls, undying passion,” Yu Xiheng said softly. “What spirit.”

These words startled Si Fuqing.

She stared directly at him.

Her gaze was too intense and direct, making even Yu Xiheng slightly uncomfortable. “What is it?”

Si Fuqing averted her eyes, her fox-like eyes curving. “I’m admiring how good-looking you are, boss, with an imperial aura.”

If she could be reborn, perhaps others could be too.

But Emperor Yin was from fifteen hundred years ago, an impossibility.

“Try using different words to praise me,” Yu Xiheng stood up. “You’ve been working too hard these days, go out and relax.”

Before Si Fuqing could respond, he wrapped an arm around her waist and lifted her up.

Si Fuqing looked down slowly. “…”

A few seconds later, she sincerely complimented, “Boss, your arm strength is impressive.”

“Mmhm.” Yu Xiheng replied indifferently. “Want to test it more?”

“No, no,” Si Fuqing said seriously. “I need to take care of your health, I’ll walk myself.”

What kind of fate was this, being lifted by Emperor Yin at night and by her boss during the day?

Did she seem that weak?

“Didn’t you say you wanted me as a transportation tool?” Yu Xiheng didn’t let her go, instead placing her on his back. “Why only dare to act recklessly when drunk? Cowardly when sober?”

Si Fuqing sighed. “…”

Could he not bring up what she did while drunk?

Her fists clenched.

But since she was in the wrong, she obediently let Yu Xiheng carry her down the stairs, silently vowing never to drink again unless absolutely necessary.

Online, the news about Si Fuqing continued to swirl.

Some history buffs and haters berated her, but many netizens admired her for single-handedly exposing Huang Ninghui, a scourge in the influencer world.

Due to Si Fuqing’s direct confrontation, the entire internet began to crack down on the influencer culture, revealing several other influencers like Huang Ninghui.

The hashtag #CrackdownOnInfluencerCulture trended, and relevant authorities started taking action.

Several restaurants quickly responded, banning live streaming inside their premises to avoid disturbing other diners.

Since they were the victims too.

Netizens were thrilled.

[I knew it, as long as Si Fuqing is in the entertainment industry, she’ll uproot all the bad actors. I don’t stan her, but I’m happy to watch and have a good impression of her.]

[This year hasn’t had any major scandals yet. I’m waiting for a big one to knock me out, just not before my grad exams. I don’t want to be distracted then.]

[Just guessing, there might be a top star scandal this year. But honestly, as long as these celebrities follow the rules and act decently, they have nothing to fear from Si Fuqing’s crackdown.]

Si Fuqing’s reputation as the entertainment industry’s ethics officer grew louder.

Though many star teams were skeptical, they were all cautious, fearing that if they crossed Si Fuqing, they’d be exposed and ruined.

Amidst the lively netizen activity, several hashtags suddenly shot to the top of the trending list.

#SuYangSleepingWithFans

#SuYangPlagiarism

#SuYangThirdWheel

#SuYangLipSyncing

For the first time, the trending list was filled with negative news about Su Yang.

Even at one in the morning, Weibo exploded.
