Chapter 117: 117 The truth is revealed, Qin Youran withdraws from the circle (Part 1)

Over the next two hours, Qin Youran anxiously awaited a response from Lin Qiming.

She wanted to prod the other party for progress, but lacking the support of the Jun Residence, as an ordinary person, asking too much would only annoy them.

Those 120 minutes felt like an eternity!

Qin Youran, clutching her phone, saw insults multiplying on Weibo, a mix of worry and fear in her heart.

Xiao Zhen called every five minutes to ask about the progress, and after six or seven times, Qin Youran, utterly annoyed, blocked Xiao Zhen’s number.

Idiot!

It was all her fault!

She had to use the Weibo backend to make contact...

How could her burner account be traced so easily by others?

It must be because Xiao Zhen blackened too many stars, and people had been investigating her for a long time...

Otherwise, how could the two of them be exposed in just one day? Qin Youran didn’t believe it!

But then again, even though Lin Qiming was her lifeline when she fell into the river, he wasn’t the last straw to clutch at.

She never put all her eggs in one basket!

After much contemplation, Qin Youran wondered, if Lin Qiming wasn’t capable of handling this, how would she save herself?

Eventually, she sorted out her thoughts.

With the situation changing unpredictably, the eventual outcome hinged on one point—what evidence did Qian Yezhou actually possess?

If it was the Weibo backend chat history, she could still argue it wasn’t her.

She had registered the burner account years ago when Weibo hadn’t enforced the real-name system, so others could only trace her IP information, not her identity.

With multiple people using the same IP network, how could it be determined it was her?

Without concrete evidence, as long as she refused to admit anything, even if it went to court, the law was on her side.

As for the transfer records... she had been cautious and specifically noted "Happy Birthday" when making the transaction.

Next week was Xiao Zhen’s birthday, and her message could be taken as a birthday gift, not related to any transaction!

Furthermore, the most crucial recording...

In her previous life, she heard such a recording on Yan Wang’s phone... perhaps it was accidentally recorded by a nurse?

Qin Youran really liked Yan Wang and was deeply regretful when she heard that the deceased Yan Yueqing had said those words.

She listened to it over and over again, memorizing every word clearly.

In this lifetime, since she couldn’t get hold of Yan Wang’s phone, she relayed the content to Xiao Zhen. The recording circulating online was Xiao Zhen simulating the voice with AI. In other words... all the actual operations were done by Xiao Zhen, and Qin Youran hadn’t been involved at all.

Even if the evidence went public, there would be room for her to argue!

With that, Qin Youran furiously cheered herself on inside her mind.

Finally, the two hours passed.

Eight o’clock sharp.

Countless netizens camped out on Qian Yezhou’s Weibo repeatedly refreshed the page.

"Where’s the evidence? Has it been updated?"

"It’s 8:01! Could it be there is none?"

"Are they organizing the evidence, or did they settle privately? Hey, hey, hey!! Is the blogger there? Come out and speak!"

"Damn, I feel played! To think I righteously helped curse the Exclusive Black Material Bacteria and Qin Youran all afternoon, could there be a twist?"

Amid the crowd’s skepticism, the time reached 8:05.

Qian Yezhou’s Weibo still hadn’t posted any follow-up messages.

Feeling deceived, netizens rushed from Weibo to the live broadcast room.

As a result, Yan Yueqing’s live broadcast had been shut down?!

Shut down?!!

The barrage of comments exploded.

[What’s going on? Was Yan Yueqing banned?]

[I’ve been waiting all afternoon, and this is what I get in the end? What the hell!]

[It seems that the incident of her cursing her own son to death is true. Yan Yueqing, I can’t trust you one bit! Get out of the entertainment industry!]

[I’m off to apologize to Qin Youran.]

Qin Youran hadn’t come out of her room, while her team’s staff pointed the camera at the nanny van for a live broadcast.

To be honest, in the previous episodes, when the guests were live broadcasting with the Cute Baby missions, except for sleeping at night, the live stream was practically on all day and there would never be breaks or guests leaving the frame.

This time, the village head hadn’t given everyone any missions, so the broadcast was just for recording ordinary daily life. If the guests wanted to go back to their rooms to rest, none of the staff would follow to film them.

Therefore, when netizens saw Yan Yueqing’s interrupted broadcast and that Qin Youran’s live stream was pointing at the nanny van, they began to speculate wildly.

[Sister Youran seems a bit pitiful. She’s been doing well in the past few episodes, but now Yan Yueqing is putting on this rich and powerful persona to dazzle all the fans, going to extremes and making Youran cry.]

[She cried? Did you see her crying?]

[This afternoon she went to explain to Yan Yueqing and was blatantly ignored in the room! I really don’t know who the audience is for someone as rude as Yan Yueqing.]

[Yan Yueqing’s broadcast interruption might have a special reason, just because Qin Youran isn’t filmed here doesn’t mean she was made to cry by Yan Yueqing!]

[Are Yan Yueqing’s fans still making excuses? It’s 8:20! The Exclusive Black Material Bacteria hasn’t deleted the post, Qian Yezhou hasn’t continued to provide evidence, doesn’t that say something?]

[Disappointed, looks like Qian Yezhou’s unbeaten record is just so-so after all! Probably took a big sum of money from Yan Yueqing, just came out to scare the other side, not expecting Qin Youran and the Exclusive Black Material Bacteria to firmly maintain justice, and now he’s been slapped in the face...]

Qin Youran waited until 8:29 PM.

Her fingers continuously refreshed Weibo, afraid that Qian Yezhou might suddenly post something.

But the reality was—he really didn’t post anything else!

It seemed that Lin Qiming really knew how to play his cards, he had dealt with Qian Yezhou directly!

Heaven still favored her, huh.

Qin Youran took a deep breath, thinking of calling Lin Qiming.

He was reliable in his work; maybe they could become long-term partners in the future!

But, as soon as the call connected, it was cut off by the other party?!!!

After two or three times like this, Qin Youran seemed to finally realize—had Lin Qiming blacklisted her?

Forget it, being blacklisted is fine, when the Lin Family is in trouble and they come asking for her help!

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, ready to appear in front of the camera as the victim, her phone suddenly began to vibrate!

An unfamiliar number?

Qin Youran furrowed her brows and answered, only to hear Xiao Zhen’s panicked voice: "It’s over, it’s over! Qian Yezhou posted something! What should we do?!"

That sentence hit her like a giant rock, smashing hard on her head.

Qin Youran felt numb all over, and after a moment, she shakily tapped into Weibo.

Qian Yezhou had posted a long Weibo message.

"Based on Exclusive Black Material Bacteria and Qin Youran’s adamant refusal to delete the post and refusal to communicate with my client, Yan Yueqing, I am now releasing the complete evidence and the attorney’s statement concerning the incident."

"On January 25th, Qin Youran and my client, Yan Yueqing, participated in the live reality show ’National Parent.’ On January 31st, Qin Youran used the Weibo platform to contact Exclusive Black Material Bacteria’s Weibo (whose real name is Huang Zhen, hereinafter referred to by her real name in the text) hoping to reach a business cooperation to gain followers and set trends.
