Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Exposure

However, this time, things were clearly not what Ji Yu had anticipated.

When she saw Li Shishi’s photo posted online, she had already started to feel unease.

Sure enough, the next day she was met with Li Shishi’s questioning.

"Doctor Ji, shouldn’t you give me an explanation? You obviously said you wouldn’t expose my information, yet the day after I visited your hospital, my photo was leaked. Shouldn’t you explain this to me?"

Her eyes carried a furious glint.

The face that was already somewhat ghastly now appeared downright terrifying with that anger.

"I didn’t leak your information, and the angle of your photo clearly suggests it was taken secretly. This likely has nothing to do with me."

She was already well-acquainted with situations like this.

"Moreover, weren’t you aware of whether there were paparazzi around you when you came?"

Li Shishi instantly calmed down, saying, "There’s no need to confirm if there were paparazzi. At that time, my surroundings were entirely empty."

She had covered herself tightly, and even if someone wanted to find her, it would be impossible to identify her.

"Besides, given how much your face has changed, anyone who recognized you might have already known about your situation."

Ji Yu had observed her face carefully. For someone to pinpoint her so accurately, they must know her well.

"Got it." Li Shishi, after years of navigating through murky waters, naturally understood the implication of those words.

"This time, it was my mistake. I hope Doctor Ji can arrange the surgery soon."

Since the matter has already been exposed, it would be better to proceed with the surgery quickly.

"Aren’t you planning to hesitate a bit more?" Ji Yu had remembered her attitude was different just the day before.

"My face must recover as soon as possible. I don’t care about the things people say; I’ll treat it as mere traffic. I can ride this wave of attention to a higher position."

Her face was beyond full restoration, so her only option was to leverage these trends for sympathy.

Maintaining her fanbase was the key.

Ji Yu raised her brow, finding Li Shishi remarkably rational. Thinking this far ahead wasn’t easy.

"Alright, your surgery can be arranged for tomorrow."

She was confident in the surgery’s outcome for Li Shishi, though what happens after depended entirely on her ability to seize opportunities.

Li Shishi nodded, "Starting today, I’ll stay in the hospital to prepare. After all, they already know about this matter, so the impact on me won’t be too significant."

Ji Yu grew increasingly curious about Li Shishi. "Alright."

Meanwhile, the online buzz continued, even detailing the exact time Li Shishi entered the hospital.

"It seems this person knows your life thoroughly. However, considering it’s related to Congxin, I have to wonder if they’re targeting me as well."

Ji Yu didn’t intend to offload responsibility for this incident either, particularly given that Congxin had recently attracted its fair share of troublemakers.

"No matter who they’re targeting, anyone who comes for me, Li Shishi, is my enemy. I won’t just let this go."

Li Shishi stayed remarkably calm about the matter and had already arranged for someone to investigate the specifics. However, so far, there were no concrete findings.

Her gaze toward Ji Yu no longer harbored any anger. "Doctor Ji is a clever person. For this surgery, I hope you’ll do your best. I’ll also work to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible."

She clearly distinguished who was simply caught in the crossfire.

Ji Yu, for a moment, admired Li Shishi’s courage.

She, too, wanted to uncover whoever was pulling strings behind the scenes.

Their thoughts aligned on this matter, and by the next day, they had found relevant clues.

Li Shishi looked calmly at the assistant in front of her, seemingly unsurprised. "Tell me, who arranged for you to do this? Rest assured, I won’t do anything to you, but you need to identify the mastermind behind this."

She was about to have surgery, yet Li Shishi still managed to inquire about the hidden culprit so composedly.

Ji Yu prepared nearby, tuning into the questioning as her curiosity piqued.

The assistant pressed her lips together, her face pale. "Sister Shishi, I..."

"Don’t ramble on with useless nonsense. I have surgery soon. If you speak clearly, we can discuss this matter calmly; if not, then I’ll directly send you to the police station."

She showed no intention of sparing the assistant’s dignity.

Ji Yu, having completed her preparations, casually took a seat nearby and replied to Hong’s message.

[Sister Yu, this IP is clearly associated with the one targeting you previously. Should I hack their network?]

[No need, just send me the data directly.]

When Ji Yu saw Song Xuan yesterday, she had already anticipated some trouble. Seeing this information now didn’t surprise her in the least.

"Miss Li, I may already know who’s orchestrating the dirty tricks behind the scenes. As for your assistant here, I can’t confirm if they’re complicit."

"Oh? Are they targeting you then?" Li Shishi tilted her head toward Ji Yu.

"That’s one way to put it." Ji Yu’s face showed faint resignation.

"If the person contacting you is a Miss Song, then there’s no need to keep hiding it. I know her temperament very well."

With matters escalating like this, no one could expect to walk away unscathed.

Ji Yu already knew how to deal with Song Xuan next, but had no interest in dragging things out unnecessarily.

The assistant’s expression showed surprise; Ji Yu seemed to have hit the nail on the head.

"For something this trivial, she’s managed to implicate others as well—really quite something," Ji Yu sneered. She promptly forwarded all related information to Gu Qixiao; what happens next would depend on him.

"Miss Li, can we begin the surgery now? I believe you’ve been itching to move past this face for quite some time."

Li Shishi understood Ji Yu’s intent.

She hadn’t taken serious issue with the matter; after her initial flurry of emotion, she had already calculated her next steps.

There was no way she’d allow Song Xuan to walk away unscathed.

"Alright."

The surgery went exceptionally well. Ji Yu had long planned how to reconstruct her face. Though the effects would take some time to fully show, at least everything that needed removal had been excised.

Li Shishi looked at the extracted implants with a disgusted frown. "Is there anything wrong with these?"

"There are many issues. I trust you chose a reputable plastic surgery clinic, so the appearance of these things only proves one thing—you were set up."

Ji Yu placed the items aside and spoke candidly. "All these implants are problematic. They would gradually burden you, so you need to seriously deliberate over this."

They absolutely needed to uncover who was sabotaging her from behind.
