Chapter 530: Chapter 530: They are the ones who were abandoned

All of a sudden, Shi Yaoguang became the developer of the Protection Shield?

Oh, the official Weibo account said she provided the research and development technology for free, but it didn’t say she was the developer.

But...

Who the hell would have such technology and give it to an outsider just to be a front?

So that means...

Shi Yaoguang really was the "hero" everyone wanted to know about.

After the official Weibo account posted, both the new official Weibo account for the Protection Shield and Shi Yaoguang reposted it.

From the beginning to the end, Shi Yaoguang’s handling of the matter was very simple.

One sponsorship Weibo post.

One reposted Weibo post.

During this time, she ignored all the blood and gore or the rainbow farts under her Weibo posts.

It was precisely her seemingly nonchalant attitude that made the netizens who had previously slandered her uncomfortable.

After all that commotion, Shi Yaoguang was just sitting back and fishing.

Instead, they bounced around like jesters, quite happily at that.

After the central official Weibo account posted, those marketing accounts that took money or tried to ride the wave of attention were dumbfounded.

They deleted the content that led netizens to attack Shi Yaoguang almost immediately.

Still, that didn’t stop some disgusted netizens from reporting them.

Not trending, just shamelessly hitching a ride.

Even with that, they still got no traffic.

Junk marketing accounts will cool off sooner or later.

And that was indeed the case.

The official Weibo account quickly took action against the defamation of Shi Yaoguang online.

Those big Vs that chased clout didn’t escape unscathed.

Those who spoke sense were fine, after all, there’s freedom of speech.

But those who maliciously smeared Shi Yaoguang, without exception, received subpoenas.

Despite this, there were still complaints.

"Why are you sending us subpoenas? We didn’t do anything wrong..."

"All we did was post a few Weibo posts, what’s the big deal? So many people spew venom online, why don’t you deal with them? Just sending me subpoenas, do you really think I’m easy to bully? I have connections too!"

"Heh, rubbish subpoenas. Whoever wants to go can go."

"I wasn’t planning to say anything, but since syg delivered the subpoena to my hands, it wouldn’t be right for me to remain silent. Since it’s come to this, I’ll speak my mind.

I doubt that the developer of the Protection Shield is Shi Yaoguang. If she was really that capable, wouldn’t she have joined a scientific research institution by now? Why would she still be a performer? No matter how glamorous stars might seem, compared to scientific researchers, they’re still a cut below.

If given the choice, who would give up a job backed by the state to join the entertainment industry as a comedian? Isn’t that just slapping your own face?"

"I share this suspicion. How old is Shi Yaoguang? How could she possibly develop something as miraculous as the Protection Shield? Maybe the real developer is locked up by her, and given her actions to monopolize the title of the developer, dabbling in some dirty deeds wouldn’t be surprising, right?"

"With the Quan Family behind her, imprisoning a powerless developer would be all too easy. It really breaks my heart for the developer..."

Just because the official sent subpoenas to these people, this group started targeting Shi Yaoguang.

They kept questioning Shi Yaoguang’s claim to someone else’s accomplishments.

As for this, Shi Yaoguang wasn’t worried in the slightest.

She went about her days as usual, doing whatever she needed to do.

It was Shi Yiqing who couldn’t sit still.

Seeing others voice the same doubts she had, she couldn’t help but echo them.

Shi Yiqing V: "I also don’t really understand how Shi Yaoguang managed to develop something as staggering as the Protection Shield. Everybody probably knows about our relationship, before being brought back home she grew up in the countryside with very limited access to knowledge, in such circumstances, developing a cross-era technological weapon is nothing short of a fairy tale..."

For her seemingly logical Weibo post, a "knowledgeable" person replied below.

"Those who know, know. There’s nothing I can do for those who don’t understand. After all, it’s hard to say these things out loud, and if you really don’t get it, I still can’t help you..."

Anyway, they thoroughly stirred up trouble under cover of confusion.

Shang Minghao’s face turned green when he saw Shi Yiqing’s Weibo post.

Grinding his teeth, he confronted Shi Yiqing, "What do you mean by the Weibo post you sent out?"

"I suspect that Shi Yaoguang isn’t the real developer of the Protection Shield, so..."

Shi Yiqing hadn’t finished her sentence when she was struck across the face.

"Slap—"

Shang Minghao had used all his strength in that hit.

Shi Yiqing’s cheek swelled up at a visibly rapid pace.

She looked at Shang Minghao with disbelief, her eyes brimming with tears, "You hit me?"

Tears streamed down as she gazed at Shang Minghao with a look full of estrangement, "You actually hit me for her?"

Shang Minghao felt a surge of anger at being looked at as if he were a faithless lover, "Do you realize how foolish the thing you did is?"

Shi Yiqing’s eyes welled up with tears, feeling very wronged, "How am I foolish? Did I say anything wrong? It’s impossible for Shi Yaoguang to come up with something as miraculous as the Protection Shield! If she was that brilliant, why would my parents not want her?"

Shang Minghao sneered, "You know perfectly why your parents didn’t want her, don’t you?"

Shi Yiqing’s gaze flickered, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Seeing that she would not admit it, Shang Minghao didn’t press her, "Whether you admit it or not, what you’ve done won’t change."

"As for the Shi Family not wanting her..."

Shang Minghao paused, his face showing mockery, "Do you really think that the Shi Family gave up on her?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yiqing felt something was off.

The Shi Family cast Shi Yaoguang out, if it wasn’t surrender by the Shi Family, what else could it be?

Surely it can’t be that Shi Yaoguang gave up on the Shi Family, right?

That’s ridiculous—how could that be possible—

Halfway through the thought, Shi Yiqing suddenly widened her eyes in realization.

She had finally caught on, albeit belatedly.

Indeed, it wasn’t impossible, was it?

If Shi Yaoguang had been concealing her true abilities from the start...

If she could live well without the Shi Family’s help.

What’s more, if her own capabilities far surpassed the Shi Family...

In such a case, the one making the choice would become her, not the Shi Family.

The Shi Family, thinking they were making a high and mighty decision, was actually the one being abandoned.

At this thought, Shi Yiqing felt a chill all over.

She had understood.

But she was unwilling to accept this truth.

If this were true, then...

Wouldn’t all her previous actions become a complete joke?

Shang Minghao gave her a cold glance, then simply turned away, out of sight, out of mind.

"Clang—" The sound of shattering porcelain drew the attention of both.

Shi Yiqing and Shang Minghao turned their heads in unison, looking towards the dumbfounded Quan Sicheng.

Quan Sicheng’s face was full of bewilderment. He asked Shang Minghao, "Everything you just said, is it true?"

Shang Minghao tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Otherwise?"

Regret unavoidably showed on Quan Sicheng’s face.

If what Shang Minghao said was true, then...

He, too, was someone Shi Yaoguang had abandoned, and to think he had once prided himself on being someone who Shi Yaoguang couldn’t attain, it was utterly laughable.

Laughably absurd!
