Chapter 618 - What Hell Really Is!
Chapter 618: What Hell Really Is!
“The news stirred up the public in just one afternoon. I won’t believe that there is no one behind this,” said Feng Shanshan. “Besides, the public’s focus has clearly been diverted. Now, nobody cares whether the dead person is Mu Tangxue or not, because they are more interested in your old grievances with her. With someone spicing up the news, they all want to take the chance to mock you now. What right do you have to be Sheng Xiao’s woman? Those who are envious and jealous of you are now venting their anger at you.”
“There is no one else who comes to mind except Ye Jingcheng.” Mu Qiqi smiled. “He is not only trying to trouble me by bringing up the past. He’s trying to find Mu Tangxue.”
“Is he crazy?” Feng Shanshan could not understand the logic of it.
“Maybe he really likes Mu Tangxue,” Mu Qiqi said.
Sheng Xiao hadn’t called until now. She wasn’t sure if he had received the news.
Sheng Xiao attended three meetings in succession in the afternoon. But Xu Che had already informed the media to stop the news from climbing to the top of the search list and waited for Sheng Xiao to discuss the countermeasures after the meetings.
“Chief, Mistress is on the news again.” The secretary immediately showed the news to Sheng Xiao once he came out of the meeting room. “However, Mr. Xu has already informed the media to stop the news from spreading and is investigating the truth now.”
After reading the news, Sheng Xiao smiled dangerously, with a hint of mockery. It’s fortunate that Xu Che reacted fast before getting an order from him. He’s worthy of praises.
“But it’s not enough to just order the media. We have to warn and threaten them.”
The state banquet was tomorrow night. Right before such an event, he had deliberately arranged such a big show. Was he trying to stop the little one from attending the banquet or was he threatening him to hand Mu Tangxue over to him?
Thinking of this, Sheng Xiao called Mu Qiqi immediately. “Where are you?”
“At the police station,” said Mu Qiqi. “Have you seen the news?”
“The corpse isn’t Mu Tangxue, right?”
“You know?” Mu Qiqi exclaimed. But she reacted fast. How could such a thing be kept hidden from Sheng Xiao?
“Someone intentionally threw me into hot waters. Xiaoxiao, Grandpa called just now. I think what he said is very true. I think I should not go to the banquet with you tomorrow. I’m in an awkward position now. If I irritate the netizens and it affects Zhongteng, I will feel very miserable.”
“I haven’t said anything. Don’t make decisions so fast. Let me handle it,” Sheng Xiao said to her right away.
“If you get involved in this, then you might fall into the trap as well.”
“He’s trying to harm me?” Sheng Xiao’s tone was full of mockery. “It looks like someone is tired of living.”
Even if Ye Jingcheng did this in a secret manner, planning to get him into trouble, it would not be easy. But his trick was definitely quite evil this time. Zhongteng had a very positive image now, and Mu Qiqi got into such an ugly scandal at such a timing. Should Sheng Xiao help her?
No matter what image she had, Sheng Xiao’s decision to bring Mu Qiqi to the banquet did not change, and it would not change.
Even when Secretary He called and advised him to be careful, he did not change his decision to bring Mu Qiqi along to the banquet.
“Brother, think carefully. If you want to bring little sister to the banquet, you have to settle her scandal within a day. Otherwise, when she goes to the banquet, it will be just like her slapping everyone there. You know it is not any ordinary banquet.”
“I know. Don’t worry.”
Under the pressure of Zhongteng, it was not an easy task to eliminate the news from the top searches list.
But the problem was, how was he going to settle the one behind it, Ye Jingcheng?
In the evening, the result of the DNA comparison test was out. The victim was indeed not Mu Tangxue. However, the problem was already out of control.
“This Ye Jingcheng is really a vicious one.” Knowing Mu Qiqi was in trouble, Feng Shanshan stopped her wall removing process and went straight to the police station.
When she got there, Tang Yan told her coldly, “Every action and every word must be based on proof.”
Feng Shanshan ignored him and asked Mu Qiqi, “So, what’s your plan?”
“I think that Ye jingcheng was making a bold attempt while making such arrangements. He must think that we will hand over the real Mu Tangxue to him to clarify the fake news when everyone thinks that the person who died is Mu Tangxue. He thinks we have Mu Tangxue in our hands.” Mu Qiqi deduced.
“But if he really thinks it this way, he has already lost. Because I really don’t know where Mu Tangxue is.”
“You should pretend that you know even if you don’t. You must trick that bastard.”
Mu Qiqi laughed. “It looks like there isn’t any other way. We can only use the most straightforward way, that is, to talk to the netizens, although I don’t want to become famous.”
“No, the victim is not Mu Tangxue and the police will clarify it sooner or later. You don’t have to talk to them in person.”
“I have to, because Ye jingcheng knows what important day it is tomorrow. I have to maintain my innocent image for tomorrow.” Mu Qiqi laughed helplessly.
“What day is it?”
“The state banquet.”
Hearing the two words, Feng Shanshan understood the situation immediately. “That bastard is really calculative.”
Mu Qiqi did not say anything else. She just said goodbye to her colleagues and swiftly left.
Sheng Xiao’s car was already waiting at the entrance. Mu Qiqi was worried that the paparazzi might be hiding somewhere nearby, so she quickly ran to the car and opened the car door.
Sheng Xiao chuckled when she saw her acting in such a way. “What are you afraid of?”
“Trouble,” said Mu Qiqi. “I’m more afraid that I will cause you trouble.”
“You don’t have to worry about anything. You just have to attend the banquet with me in your best condition tomorrow.” Sheng Xiao wrapped his arms around Mu Qiqi’s waist to comfort her. “I have arranged an interview for you tomorrow morning for clarification. You just need to do what you are good at by then and let me handle Ye Jingcheng.”
“Doesn’t he want to know where Mu Tangxue is?”
“He won’t get the news for his whole life.” Sheng Xiao caressed her cheek and answered.
“It really won’t affect your image and embarrass you at the state banquet?”
“We have a public relations team. Do you think my team is at the same level as Huang Yao’s? This team was recruited from the entertainment industry.” Sheng Xiao’s tone was relaxed and confident. “They understand more than you how thirsty the netizens are, and what they prefer. As for the rest, we will settle them after the state banquet.”
Mu Qiqi looked up into her man’s eyes and nodded. “Don’t worry, I will do my best tomorrow. If Secretary He still thinks that I should not go to the state banquet, I will follow your arrangements. Although I trust you, I won’t feel sad for not being able to go to the state banquet. I’ll cheer for you in front of the TV. It’s no big deal.”
“You are so optimistic.”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything else. Because he didn’t need to let Mu Qiqi know about the rest.
Ye Jingcheng looked too highly upon himself. Did he think that he could bargain with him when he was good at acting?
He’s too idealistic.
He will know what hell really is tomorrow!
