Chapter 356: Chapter 352: Wife, don’t talk, kiss me

Zhang Jun sat in his seat, watching as a group of police officers entered Media Shang Magazine, and went straight to sticking seals on the office computers.

Jiang Tao was dumbfounded at once. He hadn’t expected the police to show up at their doorstep, and when he saw the computers being sealed, he panicked immediately:

"Officer, is there some mistake? We’re running a legitimate business and have done nothing illegal. Why are you sealing our computers?"

As he spoke, Jiang Tao pulled out a Zhonghua cigarette to offer the policeman, only to find that the officer glanced at him indifferently, adamant about following protocol:

"Someone reported that you’re spreading rumors and slandering people online. We need to take you back to the police station for questioning and hope you will cooperate with our investigation. Additionally, these computers are now evidence, and we’ll need to take them."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao was bewildered. Working in media, he knew very well that these police officers weren’t following the proper legal procedures.

Spreading rumors was usually a matter for the parties involved to file a lawsuit in court, and then the plaintiff would gather evidence to submit to the court, after which they could go through all kinds of trouble to get over here and call a lawyer to file a complaint.

But here they were, just a few hours after posting the news, and the police had already come knocking, looking as though they didn’t plan to give them any chance to explain.

Jiang Tao wasn’t stupid; just from the expression of the police officer, he knew something was wrong that didn’t adhere to the procedural flow. To have these officers adopt such a forceful attitude, it was clear there were powerful figures backing them up.

Powerless to stop them, Jiang Tao could only watch as the police carried away the office computers, one by one, feeling a herd of grass mud horses trampling through his heart.

Fuck! Zhang Jun, this little bastard, just who did he manage to piss off this time? He’s dragged me into a world of trouble!

While Zhang Jun and the entire team from Media Shang Magazine were being taken away, Wu Jingyi’s face turned pale with rage.

When she handed over the photos to Zhang Jun, she intended for him to use the magazine to expose all the "dirt" on Huo Sining. Little did she know that Zhang Jun, that scumbag, would play tricks on her and secretly record what she said!

Seeing Huo Sining post her information on Weibo, Wu Jingyi was furious beyond words. She could almost imagine the looks she would get from her classmates when she returned to classes at the Medical University after the semester started.

"Damn it!" Wu Jingyi stared at Huo Sining’s Weibo profile with a ferocious gaze, as if looking at her mortal enemy.

Her mind was filled with resentment, she wished she could slap Huo Sining through the internet.

She never considered that she had brought all this upon herself. Even a clay figure has a touch of Earth’s gravity—had it not been for her inability to see Huo Sining prosper and her desire to destroy him, how could she have pushed Huo Sining so far as to expose her information?

Some people are just like that, thinking everyone owes them something, and whatever they do is always for their own benefit.

But when their actions harm others and they face retaliation, they become resentful and angry, questioning why the other person can’t just stay silent, why they can’t let them have the advantage?

Just as she was about to pull out her phone to call Zhang Jun and demand an explanation, someone knocked on her room door. Wu Jingyi paused, then reflexively asked as she opened the door, "Who is it?"

"The police."

The moment Wu Jingyi heard these words, her hand went limp, and she felt a blood-draining fright.

"Oh my, Mr. Gu has spoken too!"

Su Qingqing was scrolling through Weibo when suddenly she saw Gu Xu addressing someone through the platform. The domineering CEO persona instantly made a swath of women swoon and grovel in adoration.

Huo Sining certainly saw the two microblogs from Gu Xu, her lips twitched, and a fleeting smile appeared in her eyes.

However, the usually aloof man seemed to have forgotten his medication or something this time, as he actually started goofing around on microblog.

[Didn’t we agree to see who was tougher? So, shall I give you a challenge? Anyone who chickens out isn’t a man! @Mr. Handsome]

[Are you scared? Come on, don’t be. I was just rolling up my sleeves, ready for a good contest with you. @Mr. Handsome]

[Honey, are they ignoring me because I’m not as good-looking as you? @Miss Magic herself]

The first two microblogs were still okay, but the last one completely baffled the netizens. Although Gu Xu’s microblogs were defending Huo Sining, his words were vague and did not clearly acknowledge that Huo Sining was his girlfriend.

So even though the netizens guessed, they weren’t sure about the relationship between the two.

But now Gu Xu was openly calling Huo Sining "honey" on microblog, and when the netizens saw this post, they were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Oh my god, is this for real? Miss Magic is actually going to be the future lady boss of Shengtang?"

"These two have kept it so secret. I thought my male god was still single, but it turns out he’s had a girlfriend for a while now!"

"Disappointed. I don’t think Miss Magic is worthy of my male god."

"Supporting Miss Magic all the way, and wishing the two of you happiness."

As Gu Xu was being cute on microblog, Song Hui saw that post and couldn’t help but look disdainfully at someone sitting in the office, really wanting to ask, where’s your dignity? Is it all gone?

Gu Xu was having a blast on the internet, being cute and showing love without any hesitation, easily saying things he wouldn’t dare to say in real life. He liked this way of communication. Seeing a crowd of people egging him on, he felt no shame and was so bold he even mentioned wanting a kiss outright.

Just as he was enjoying the fun, he received a call: "Mr. Gu, the person has been brought to the police station."

"Mhm," Gu Xu’s smile faded from his face, and he lowered his voice and spoke firmly, "Check who Mr. Handsome is, and interrogate that Wu Jingyi. If they confess to spreading rumors, punish them as the law dictates! For the others, detain them for three to five days as a warning."

The person on the other end acknowledged and hung up the phone, and Gu Xu thought about it and still decided to give Huo Sining a call.

Huo Sining hesitated for several seconds before reaching for the call from Gu Xu.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to pick up, but just a moment ago Gu Xu had posted on microblog, "Wifey, don’t speak, kiss me," accompanied by a picture of a cat with closed eyes.

This post sent the netizens into an uproar, egging them on and making Huo Sining so embarrassed she wanted to smack him.

Now the person who had caused the trouble was calling her, and she felt both bashful and annoyed, wanting nothing to do with Gu Xu, but the phone was relentless, ringing with a second call after she missed the first.

Huo Sining, feeling helpless, eventually picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

Huo Sining’s voice was light and soft; although she was somewhat shy and annoyed, sweetness kept welling up in her heart, making her voice unintentionally tender.
