Not yet having figured out how to break the two apart, Qiao Sisi herself ran into trouble.
The Xue Mu Jiao forum had been hacked!
A post detailing that Qiao Sisi's biological father was a convict was pinned to the entire forum. The post truthfully described the events of that year and included photos of both Qiao Sisi and Qiao Shan.
What's more, Qiao Sisi's engagement was also revealed.
Those familiar with Qiao Sisi knew she had been pursuing Qi Che.
As a result, she had an fiancé from childhood, meaning her pursuit of Qi Che was like having one foot in two boats!
Furthermore, her father was a convict, and her current life as a young lady from a wealthy family was stolen from Qiao Ci!
Suddenly, discussions about her erupted among the crowd.
"Ah, so she's the one who stole Qiao Ci's life as a young lady. Her biological father is a convict."
"Exactly. Having a fiancé and confessing to Qi Che, how shameless."
"It was she who leaked the matter between Qiao Ci and Qi Che. After stealing their father and mother, and then stealing their life as a young lady, she still slandered Qiao Ci. This leaves Qiao Ci with no way to live."
"Of course. So malicious at such a young age, we won't associate with her anymore."
...
Qiao Sisi's two close friends knew about her fiancé, but they had previously felt that pursuing true love was not wrong. After everyone's comments, they also felt that Qiao Sisi's thinking was problematic and gradually became distant from her.
Qiao Sisi was so angry she slumped onto the table and cried. Eventually, she couldn't stand it anymore and directly called Nangong Ming to pick her up.
While Qiao Ci was diligently working on her math problems, she learned that Qiao Sisi had been picked up by Nangong Ming!
As she did the problems, she instructed Little Spoon: "Initiate Plan SB."
"Roger that," Little Spoon replied excitedly.
It had been collecting evidence of the Nangong family's tax evasion and had just finished. Now, it was waiting for the right moment to act.
Nangong Ming postponed his meeting and went to pick up his future little wife, a smug and happy look on his face.
"Little girl, you miss me after just a short while apart. I really don't know what to do with you." The moment he saw Qiao Sisi, an inexplicable confidence surged within him.
Upon seeing her red and swollen eyes, his tone changed, and he asked with angry concern, "Who bullied you?"
"Wuwuwu, it's Qiao Ci. She spread information about my biological father on our Xue Mu Jiao forum. Everyone is laughing at me now, wuwuwu, I don't want to go to school anymore." Qiao Sisi's grievances instantly surfaced, and she buried herself in Nangong Ming's arms, sobbing.
"Good girl, don't cry. I'll handle it," Nangong Ming said, stroking Qiao Sisi's little head to comfort her. "Let's go, hubby will take you for a big meal!"
Hearing Nangong Ming say he would handle it, Qiao Sisi felt a surge of smugness. Seeing him call himself "husband," she playfully punched his chest, "Whose husband are you? Aren't your parents against our marriage?"
"It's my own business, and I can handle it. At worst, I'll give up being the heir of the Nangong family! Don't worry, I will never give you up!" Nangong Ming vowed.
At this moment, Qiao Sisi was extremely touched and made a decision: she was determined to marry Nangong Ming. What if she wasn't as good at studying as Qiao Ci? Her husband was handsome and rich!
On this day, Qiao Sisi surrendered herself to Nangong Ming.
She wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible and marry him through her child!
At the same time, Qiao Ci and Qi Che were sleeping in their respective rooms when a rustling sound woke Qiao Ci, who wasn't sleeping soundly to begin with.
"Heh, Nangong Ming, so bold!" Qiao Ci communicated with Little Spoon in her mind.
This was an old residential area with imperfect surveillance. When Nangong Ming agreed to teach Qiao Ci a lesson, he had already decided her fate.
He wanted to send Qiao Ci, that woman who was always opposing Qiao Sisi, abroad and sell her to the black people. Then, he would show Sisi her miserable fate in Africa to win the beauty's smile.
It wasn't just Qiao Ci who heard the sound of doors and windows being pried open; even Qi Che, who had light sleep, heard it.
He quickly got out of bed and was about to knock on Qiao Ci's door when she opened it from the inside the next second.
They lived on a low floor, the second floor. The group of men in black chose to enter through the window to take Qiao Ci away.
Qiao Ci had a habit of closing the curtains when she slept, so people outside couldn't see what was happening inside, but those inside could see figures moving outside the window.
Seeing that the intruders were hostile, Qi Che grabbed Qiao Ci's hand and was about to go out to call the police.
Qiao Ci said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "There are probably people waiting by the door."
Qi Che tightly held Qiao Ci's hand, "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!"
Qiao Ci looked at the young man's fair, jade-like face and his feigned calm expression, and softly replied with a smile, "Okay."
Then, when several burly men outside the window entered, Qiao Ci, protected behind Qi Che, rushed out and began to fight them with punches and kicks, quickly incapacitating them to the point they couldn't even cry out.
Qi Che was stunned by Qiao Ci's ferocity. When he recovered, he quickly found ropes and torn strips of cloth and tied them up.
Then Qiao Ci walked to the door, opened it, and pulled in three men holding electric batons and sacks, quickly dealing with them as well.
Qi Che hurried to find unused clothes and cut them into strips with scissors to tie up the three men as well.
Finally, Qiao Ci went to the bedroom, took her phone, and called the police.
Qi Che's nerves were on edge throughout the entire ordeal. Only after all the men in black were taken away by the police did his mood slightly calm down.
"You, you're so amazing." He fumbled for words, only able to give a thumbs-up to the agile Qiao Ci and praise her sincerely.
Qiao Ci immediately puffed out her chest, "Just a normal move. From now on, your safety can be entrusted to me."
Qi Che saw that she wasn't scared by what had just happened at all, and after taking down a large group of people, she even comforted him. He couldn't help but smile, "Okay, I'll entrust my safety to you from now on."
"Yes, go to sleep quickly, you have class tomorrow," Qiao Ci said as she repaired the window with swift movements, then casually lay back down in her covers and fell asleep.
However, Qi Che tossed and turned in his bed, unable to sleep.
Qiao Ci's agility just now was unlike that of a normal person. She had single-handedly taken down six well-built men, and they had no power to fight back.
However, he wasn't afraid at all; instead, he felt completely secure.
In fact, he even faintly felt that this was normal, that she should be like this...
The next day, Qiao Sisi didn't want to move, so Nangong Ming took leave for her and went to the company with great spirit.
Yesterday, an important meeting was postponed to today due to Qiao Sisi's absence.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been willing to leave Qiao Sisi.
However, as soon as he arrived at the company, he felt that everyone's gaze towards him was not quite right.
