Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Qin Jinhai’s Counterattack

Any pain she suffered was magnified multiple times over for him. Even so, she kept getting hurt. If they didn’t address the fundamental issue, she would continue to be injured. And he knew in his heart that there was a simple way to solve the problem. He would leave her! As long as he left her, all problems would be easily resolved. He didn’t need to remove her from his heart. He just needed to stay away from her, not love her, and then she could avoid getting hurt. After all, she hated him anyway...

Qin Jinhai’s expression turned exceptionally grim.

Having seen the light, having once received her wholehearted reliance and affection, how could he let go?

Qin Jinhai loosely held her hand and gritted his teeth, "It was you who approached me first, you who took my hand first. You have to take responsibility for a lifetime!"

His words were very domineering, yet his tone dared not be too forceful, fearing he would wake her.

Qin Jinhai left before dawn. After Qin Jinhai left, Mu He remained by the hospital room, never straying far.

「At this very moment.」

Lin Yu and the entire Douyu Platform were pulling an all-nighter.

Lin Yu was about to be driven mad by these idiots. Unbelievably, some clueless netizens had started posting videos and articles about Fu Bing and Ren Ye’s illicit relationship after their car accident. Like mushrooms after rain, no matter how much they deleted, they could never completely remove them.

Even if Fu Bing had thick skin, he wouldn’t allow her to be plagued by such scandals. Moreover, he didn’t believe Fu Bing would have anything to do with Ren Ye. Isn’t it normal for a man to instinctively protect a woman in danger? Some idiots, as soon as they see a man and a woman, their minds jump to lewd conclusions! They even think two men who glance at each other should end up in bed together!

Lin Yu was so angry that he was practically steaming.

However, even though he and the people at Douyu worked overtime all night, they couldn’t stop the rumors of Fu Bing and Ren Ye’s improper relationship from trending on social media during the morning rush hour. Lin Yu was so angry he wanted to beat this bunch of damn bastards to death.

He called Cheng Shuangqing, "You had contact with people from Weibo before. Talk to them about taking down Fu Bing’s trending topic."

"What happened?" Cheng Shuangqing was so busy he hardly had time to eat or drink, let alone keep up with celebrity news.

"Videos of Fu Bing and President Ren’s car accident got uploaded by hackers, and people are slandering them, claiming they have an improper relationship. It’s hanging in the top spot on the trending list right now."

Cheng Shuangqing was shocked. "Does this company no longer plan to cooperate with Fu Bing? How dare they let such a topic trend?"

"They’re just money-grubbers, that’s all." Lin Yu’s head was buzzing with anger.

"I’ll get in touch right away. Keep an eye on your platform and don’t let those hackers spout nonsense." Cheng Shuangqing was about to explode with anger. It’s high time Weibo was rectified. Fu Bing just had a car accident, and right on its heels, they concoct this scandal. If this isn’t profiteering from others’ misfortune, what is?

Qin Jinhai saw the trending search at nine in the morning. Releasing such a scandal at this critical time meant there had to be someone powerful backing them. Otherwise, no one would dare. Who else could it be but Qin Sheng?

Qin Jinhai issued an order to his team, "Post Qin Jinmo’s scandals on trending searches, the more disgusting, the better. If necessary, fabricate scandals."

"Yes."

「Ten minutes later.」

Fu Bing and Ren Ye’s trending topics were quickly pushed down by over ten new trending topics concerning Qin Jinmo.

Suddenly, everyone was discussing Qin Jinmo.

In the eyes of the wealthy circle and the outside world, Qin Jinmo and Qin Jinhai were polar opposites.

Qin Jinmo was a bright and clear nobleman, a graduate from a top global university, enthusiastic about charity, young and promising. He rarely appeared in front of the media, but the few photos of him that existed inspired many writers to base novels on him.

On the other hand, Qin Jinhai was mired in scandals—expelled from school for fighting, engineered Fu Bing’s imprisonment, and resolved business disputes with violence. His scandals were numerous; it would take many pages to detail them thoroughly.

Qin Jinmo being unfaithful in relationships, pressuring his pregnant girlfriend to have an abortion, and making disrespectful remarks about women in private shattered many people’s favorable perceptions of him. However, some fans still had their doubts.

"Somehow, I feel like these are things Qin Jinhai would do. Young Master Mo isn’t that kind of person at all!"

This comment was quickly drowned out by paid trolls.

「Qin Family Mansion.」

Qin Sheng was nearly driven to death by the trending news.

"Qin Jinhai, well done!"

Li Yuan watched the porcelain he had smashed to pieces, not bothering to console him.

"Your own tactics are utterly despicable; why should he just sit by and let you disgust him?"

"Jinmo is also your son. Don’t you think about him?"

"I’ve given him enough care and love; he lacks nothing. Jinhai is the one who has nothing, yet must bear everything. Not only do you not sympathize with him, but you also suppress him everywhere. Aren’t you comfortable unless you push your children into hating you?"

Li Yuan’s tone was very calm. Countless experiences had taught her that anger, apart from making oneself sick, was utterly futile.

"As long as Fu Bing is around, he can never be of use to me."

"He is a living, independent person. Why should he be of use to you? Don’t you know it’s hard to find someone you truly love in this life? After all the suffering he has been through, to still be able to fall in love with someone, and be willing to give everything for that person, you should be happy for him. He hasn’t become a killing tool. He can still use what he has learned over the years to protect himself and to protect the Qin Family! He can still get married and have children like a normal person, living a simple life. Isn’t that enough? What’s wrong with your Qin Family? Does forcing good children to death or madness make you happy?"

"You don’t understand!"

"If I don’t understand, you can tell me. Tell me why you need to do this. Tell me why there is such a big difference between the fates of the two children I bore! Jinmo has all the glory given by the Qin Family, while Jinhai must endure all the hardships! Or is Jinhai not your child at all?"

Li Yuan said these last words just as Qin Jinmo was coming down from upstairs.

Qin Sheng ignored Li Yuan and turned to Qin Jinmo, "Don’t worry about the trending news. I’ll handle it."

"It was Jinhai who did it, right?" asked Qin Jinmo.

His expression was calm, showing no hint of his true emotions.

"You don’t need to worry; this will soon be suppressed," said Qin Sheng.

"Suppressed and that’s it? What about the people who have seen the trending topics? What will they think of me? They might not say anything to my face, but who knows how they will slander me behind my back!" Qin Jinmo exclaimed angrily.

As Qin Jinhai’s online reputation worsened recently, with almost any kind of slander or negative press being thrown his way, Qin Jinmo came to understand—He was the Qin Family’s sole heir. Qin Jinhai was no longer eligible. His parents had no other choice. The previous cautiousness and prudence were no longer necessary.

How could Qin Sheng not see Qin Jinmo’s change? He said, "To achieve great things, one should not care about a few idle remarks. You can take this incident as a test for you; no need to take it to heart."

"A test? I didn’t have to go through this. Dad, why did you drag me into your internal struggle with Jinhai?"
