Wen Nian nodded and looked down at the despicable men, thinking about finding a good place for them.

Shen Jun ran up to Wen Nian and pushed her hair behind her ear, blocking her eyes. He asked with concern, “What’s the situation now?”

Wen Nian thought of Jiang Chun and didn’t hide anything this time. She revealed the whole story about Wei Lai and Jiang Ning setting her up, accusing her of cheating on Shen Jun, and the subsequent events.

Shen Jun clenched his teeth tightly after listening, and after a while, he said, “Don’t worry about their aftermath. I’ll handle it.”

Shen Jun clenched his teeth tightly after listening, and after a while, he said, “Don’t worry about their aftermath. 1’11 handle it.”

Shen Jun took action and knocked out the five people once again, ensuring they wouldn’t wake up for the next two hours before making a call for someone to handle them.

Wen Nian followed Shen Jun back to the Xifeng Courtyard. After assigning Wen Nian her homework for the day, Shen Jun left again.

Wen Nian obediently completed her assignments according to the requirements. She noticed that Shen Jun hadn’t returned yet and a mischievous smile appeared on her face. She opened Shen Jun’s computer and realized that it required a password. She tried entering their birthdays, their 100th day anniversary, and the date they got together, but none of them worked. Finally, in a fit of frustration, she entered the date of their first meeting, and it was successful.

Wen Nian blushed and smiled, then started working on the computer. She discussed the topic of bullying ordinary students with her wealthy background, and she paired it with videos and posted them on major websites in Hai City.

The video only showed the retaliation by Wen Nian, and she had blurred the faces. However, familiar people could still easily recognize their identities.

“Oh my God, isn’t that Jiang Ning from our class? Who’s the person behind the door? Does anyone know Wei Lai?”

“We have a Wei Lai in our class, and the voice sounds quite similar. Her family is quite wealthy, does Wei Group know about it? It’s her family!”

“That restroom looks familiar, like the employee restroom in Baisheng Mall.”

“They mentioned that it’s for employees in their conversation, and Baisheng is under the Wei Group. Everything lines up!”

“Come on, you guys are spreading rumors so easily. Just by typing a few words behind your computer, you think you’ve done something. Jiang Ning’s face is in the video, she is definitely a culprit. There are many people who are named Wei Lai.”

“Jiang Ning’s family is a well-known real estate developer in Hai City. She has always been surrounded by wealthy individuals in high society. Only someone like Wei Lai, who can address Jiang Ning by name in the upper-class circles, would have connections with the Jiang family. Look at the window in the video. It was clearly filmed during the daytime. Which employee doesn’t use the restroom during the day or at night? Why would they need to squeeze with other employees on different floors? It’s obvious that they received instructions from higher authorities!”

Overall, the online comments were overwhelmingly in favor of Wen Nian. After all, in the video, she was clearly the victim of bullying, and the stark difference in their identities made people more inclined to support her.

Wei Lai and Jiang Ning were out shopping when they noticed someone secretly staring at them and mentioned something about the internet. They immediately went online and discovered that the video had been released by Wen Nian.

Jiang Ning frowned and looked at Wei Lai. “How did she come out so quickly?! How did those people do things?!”

Wei Lai had a bad feeling and tried to contact the muscle guy again, but couldn’t reach him. “It’s alright, we were prepared for this anyway.”

Wei Lai made another phone call to someone else.

Soon, a new round of public opinion storm erupted online.

With the addition of controlled comments and internet trolls, there were claims that the video was fabricated using Al face-swapping technology, voice alteration, and other techniques. People in the comment section demanded the original source files for technical verification, or else they accused the poster of being a fraud.

Some even speculated that Wen Nian wanted to reconnect with the Wei family, so she intentionally caused trouble to threaten them, all for the purpose of arranging another marriage. They pitied the eldest young master of the Wei family, who had gone abroad to heal his broken heart, only to be implicated by a gold digger.

Wen Nian remained completely unfazed by these comments and planned to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner, further increasing the attention.

When Shen Jun returned home and saw the food on the table, he walked closer to Wen Nian with his hands behind his back and smiled. “Why are you suddenly so obedient? Is this your way of rewarding me for finishing things?”

Wen Nian looked up, smiled, and replied, “Is this reward enough for you?”

Shen Jun sat down on the sofa and reached out to pull Wen Nian closer by her shoulder. “It was enough before, but now it’s not enough.”

Shen Jun extended his hand, revealing a new phone resting in his palm.

The phone looked similar to any other phone, except that it had no brand. Curiously, Wen Nian took it and raised an eyebrow.. “Is this for me?”
