If Qin Si Ye were to know, these young reporters would have to forget about making a living in K City.
However, some of the people who had been the loudest at the start were unwilling to let it go.
This matter had become a huge public spectacle, known to everyone. Was it really going to end just like this?
The few exchanged glances, contemplating their next move, when someone from the back of the crowd shouted, "Everyone, quickly look at the live local news broadcast! Mr. Qin is being interviewed live at the entrance of Zhuo Sheng."
Upon hearing this, Yin Xi couldn't help but curiously take out her phone to watch.
She saw Qin Si Ye, standing tall and serious, speaking to the camera, "Many of the things reported in the news these past few days are baseless rumors that have caused great harm to me and my family. The police and my fiancée have already announced the truth to the public. I am currently working tirelessly to investigate the mastermind behind this. If I find them, they will not be spared."
Suddenly, a female reporter asked, "Mr. Qin, are you referring to Miss Yin Xi when you mentioned your fiancée?"
"Of course. In this world, only she will be my wife," Qin Si Ye replied without hesitation, his eyes bright.
Oh my goodness, such a firm answer was a direct public announcement.
The reporter continued, "Congratulations to Mr. Qin and Miss Yin. When will you be getting married?"
A faint smile played on Qin Si Ye's lips. "We will be holding an engagement ceremony soon. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, we will be married on the 22nd of next month."
As soon as he finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd.
Just then, a doubtful voice rose from the crowd, "Mr. Qin, we heard that Grandpa Qin's sudden illness and hospitalization this time was because of Miss Yin. Has he already agreed to your marriage?"
"I don't know where this news online came from," Qin Si Ye's expression darkened once more. "But I can tell you that my father's illness is not sudden; it's a long-term condition. If anything exacerbated it, it was Meng Qi's actions. As for the marriage, it has his approval, of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't choose to announce this matter to the public while he's hospitalized."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, finding his explanation seamless and logical. Congratulations then flooded him from all sides.
It was only with the escort of Zhao Ze and a group of bodyguards that Qin Si Ye was finally able to leave the scene.
In the courtyard of Xinglan Bay, as the reporters put down their phones and looked up at Yin Xi, they were momentarily blinded by the dazzling brilliance emanating from the diamond ring on her right middle finger.
My goodness! This diamond ring is truly stunning and exquisite; it must be worth tens of millions. Why didn't they notice it earlier?
With everything so clear and evident, what were they still lingering here for? They apologized and offered their congratulations to Yin Xi before sheepishly leaving Xinglan Bay.
In the bedroom on the second floor of the Qin family's old residence, Qin Si Yu and Jiang Jie sighed and looked dejected after watching the news.
"Alas, we thought we could use this incident to ruin Qin Si Ye and Yin Xi's reputations, but unexpectedly, they turned a crisis into a blessing and announced their engagement to the public," Jiang Jie said with a frown.
Qin Si Yu's face was grim. "Yin Xi is truly difficult to deal with. I never imagined she would expose all her private matters so recklessly."
At this moment, Jiang Jie pulled his arm and asked, "Si Yu, have you found out who the person who initially reported that news was? If we can find them, perhaps there will be opportunities for future cooperation."
"I'm not sure. They were very discreet. I've also had people investigate, but there's no result yet," Qin Si Yu replied.
Jiang Jie thought for a moment. "I suspect it was friends or relatives of those three who were arrested. You should investigate in that direction further."
