The live broadcast ended, and fewer people suspected Gu Wan was not willing.
Originally, none of this had anything to do with Xing Yuan. She had been relieved once she confirmed these two were together, but who knew someone would find out about the relationship between Xing Yuan and Xing Can through Xing Shi and some trivial clues.
Xing Yuan was utterly confused.
It wasn't a big deal that this was discovered, but the key was that they had somehow dug up several meetings between the two and Xing Yuan's current habit of going in and out with Ji Wenyue.
This was where things became troublesome.
Perhaps her early investments had paid off, as many fervent fans were shouting that the two were genuine, and photos they had collected were flooding the internet.
Consequently, the focus of attention shifted from Xing Can to Xing Yuan.
Xing Yuan hastily removed the trending topics, but the rumors only grew more outrageous, to the point where names for their future children had already been decided.
Disregarding basic logic, they didn't consider that such a significant event as having children, even if two girls had the desire, would be beyond their power! kuAiδugg
At this point, it was no longer something Xing Yuan could simply cancel. She could only brace herself and continue. However, upon realizing she couldn't suppress the news, she confided this major issue to Ji Wenyue.
Ji Wenyue appeared remarkably calm, as if not at all worried about her career collapsing and losing most of her fans.
Seeing Xing Yuan's worried expression, she gently stroked her head, her voice steady and powerful, "Don't be afraid! I will protect you."
Ji Wenyue also harbored a subtle worry, but it wasn't directed at her career. Instead, she was concerned that Xing Yuan might be harmed by this.
In the past, she had indeed placed immense importance on her dream, but after so many years, her dream had already been realized.
Moreover, what she had now was the most precious person in the world to her. Having finally held her in her palm, how could she easily let go?
"Okay!" Xing Yuan wrapped her arms around Ji Wenyue's neck, nuzzling her gently like a kitten. "Sister, protect me."
Despite the rampant rumors, there was no concrete evidence. The two adopted a strategy of cold treatment, only suppressing the most reactive trending topics and making no response online.
However, one day, Xing Yuan was cornered on her way home from the company.
Several cars formed a blockade, trapping Xing Yuan in a secluded alley. Xing Yuan frowned, her gaze sharp as she surveyed her surroundings.
Soon, several burly men emerged from the cars, brandishing sticks and surrounding the vehicles.
The driver had never witnessed such a scene and stammered, "President Xing, what should we do?"
Xing Yuan merely frowned slightly, opened the car door, and stepped out.
She disliked having bodyguards because she was confident in her own ability to protect herself.
So, at this moment, she simply stretched her wrists and ankles, her expression impassive as she asked, "Who sent you?"
The men exchanged glances, remaining silent. They merely hefted their sticks and charged at Xing Yuan.
Xing Yuan grabbed her briefcase and smashed it down on the head of one of the burly men. The hard laptop shell inside caused the man to cry out in pain, hopping a few times while clutching his head.
Meanwhile, the others' sticks were already descending.
Xing Yuan blocked one, and using her strength and skill, disarmed one of them, then used the weapon against the others.
Having experienced the profession of an assassin, she knew precisely which parts of the human body were most vulnerable. Her strikes were accurate and swift, leaving several burly men groaning on the ground, though not a drop of blood was shed.
Xing Yuan rubbed her aching arm and turned to the driver, "Call the police!"
The driver finally reacted to the sudden turn of events, nodding quickly and pulling out his phone.
This incident was serious, and Xing Yuan stayed to give her statement.
Initially, they were extremely polite to Xing Yuan, but as the medical reports of the burly men came out, everyone's expression changed.
This woman was a trained fighter! She specifically targeted the weak joints and areas that caused intense pain. Although the injuries weren't severe, they would cause these men extreme suffering.
If they hadn't had specialists on hand, they might have naively believed these were merely superficial wounds.
Although these men had committed a crime, their sense of justice was somewhat shaken.
However, as the identities of these men were revealed, this sentiment instantly turned into satisfaction.
It turned out these men were hired thugs who would do anything, including murder and arson, as long as the price was right.
Knowing this, and identifying the victims whose lives had been ruined by these men, how could they remain soft-hearted?
When questioned about their employer, it was discovered that most of them were minors. They felt their idol had been slandered, and unable to win arguments online, they decided to solve the problem at its root by eliminating those who created the rumors.
However, perhaps due to their youth, they pooled their money, but their request to the thugs was simply to beat Xing Yuan and teach her a lesson.
After relaying this to Xing Yuan, her expression remained remarkably calm.
Having had a rare opportunity to stretch her muscles, she was actually in a good mood. Therefore, she generously chose to settle the matter privately, only hoping the police would educate them.
Even if Xing Yuan hadn't said so, they would have done so.
They were still young, and there was still a chance for reform. Therefore, they were willing to be gardeners pruning branches so that these flowers of the nation could grow strong.
However, due to Xing Yuan's actions, the police suspected her of violent tendencies and dared not release her without authorization. Her top-priority contact was Ji Wenyue.
Therefore, Ji Wenyue was called to pick her up.
Initially, Ji Wenyue had worried about Xing Yuan's safety, but after hearing the entire story, she realized her concern was unnecessary.
Xing Yuan, who had been a little troublemaker since childhood, didn't need her to worry, as few people in the world could defeat her.
This realization left Ji Wenyue unsure whether to be happy or sad.
She regretted again that she had only enrolled in dance classes as a child and not martial arts, otherwise she wouldn't be so weak now.
Seeing the familiar figure, Xing Yuan instantly became docile, like a child who had done something wrong, gently hooking Ji Wenyue's hand with her little finger.
Ji Wenyue signed the papers with a stoic expression and led Xing Yuan and the driver out of the police station.
All the way home, no matter how Xing Yuan tried to tease her, Ji Wenyue remained cold and silent. It was only after they returned home that she embraced her tightly.
"Next time, don't do such dangerous things, okay?" Ji Wenyue could guess that Xing Yuan had deliberately lured those people out to deal with them.
She knew that if Xing Yuan hadn't deliberately exposed her itinerary, those people would not have found her so easily.
