Chapter 501: 501 has been doxxed!

Lian Qingyi wanted to go online and bite back against the slander, but unfortunately, she had left evidence with her colleague, and now everyone in the Mingliu circle knew about it, so it was the truth. With no other option, she anxiously dialed her mother.

Upon hearing the news, her wife Lian berated her fiercely, "Do you know what your father values the most, yet you still provoke him? Before doing this, didn’t you consider the consequences?"

"Mom, I just felt so bad for dad being so aggrieved that I wanted to stand up for him, but who knew it would turn out like this? I didn’t mean for it to happen! Please, think of something to help me." Lian Qingyi cried out, "Dad will definitely kill me."

"Even if it kills you, you have to speak up. Now that things are out of control, if you don’t come clean, and he finds out from someone else, you might as well prepare to be kicked out of the house," Lian’s wife sighed, "Just tell him when you get home tonight. I’ll speak on your behalf, after all, your intentions were for his sake."

"Mom..."

"Whether you want to live or die, it’s up to you," said Lian’s wife, and then she hung up the phone on Lian Qingyi.

With no other choice, Lian Qingyi could only brace herself and speak up that night.

In fact, the situation wasn’t that terrible. After all, Madam Chen speaking ill of her father behind his back wasn’t exactly slander. What would it matter if she was named? The old lady being with a wealthy patron was the truth.

Moreover, if the other party hadn’t been so aggressive, would things have escalated to this point?

...

Shi Lan figured Lian Qingyi would never come out and apologize, so she waited for her next move. Some things were just not ripe for the picking yet.

On the other hand, because of the scandal, Shi Lan personally called a few collaborators to minimize the ripple effect on Yunlian Studio from this incident. Although in the end, the partners did not terminate their cooperation with the studio because of this, they indeed began to doubt Madam Chen’s craftsmanship, as she had not received popular support.

Shi Lan promised that, once the negative attention had passed, she would arrange for authority artists to authenticate Madam Chen’s handiwork and provide a satisfactory response to all partners.

Further, she had the studio’s staff send apology gifts to each collaborator. The partners were fairly amiable and willing to give Yunlian Studio a chance to grow.

Despite that, the situation still slipped beyond Shi Lan’s control.

Madam Chen was doxxed!

Still on the same forum, in the same section, a stranger posted this message.

"Rush over, big reveal on Chen Yunlian’s background!"

Because Madam Chen was simple and kind, she never turned down young entrepreneurs who needed information whenever she went to the market. She was always eager to help. But her good will inadvertently exposed her personal details.

About this post, it included Madam Chen’s basic information and contact information.

Fortunately, this contact information was outdated. After Madam Chen changed her phone number, she hadn’t had the chance to engage in such kindness. Yet, all the other information was laid out in the post—single for life, former occupation as a stage actress, and indeed, she had worked for the Lian Family for over forty years.

The Lian Family was thus brought to the surface.

Autumn Wind suddenly arises, "The Lian Family of Nanqi is a prestigious clan, all in politics—quite intimidating."

BoBo Lei, "I don’t think the Lian family’s daughter needs to frame a servant, does she?"

Smiley Eyes, "I have some information on the Lian family here, feel free to take a look."

Chen Bo 233: "The old lady’s contact information needs updating, right?"

This comment from a netizen received the biggest reaction. Although the old lady had not casually given out her phone number, she had provided her contact information when cooperating with some clothing merchants.

So ultimately, amid the encouragement of the netizens, the old lady still couldn’t escape the misfortune of having her number leaked.

...

At this moment, Mrs. Chen, holding Shi Lan’s design drafts, was with Mrs. Lian, studying color matching and stitching methods in the atelier. In the evening, she suddenly received a strange phone call.

At first, the caller would just connect and stay silent, but later, someone directly started cursing her, calling her shameless.

Mrs. Chen, confused, decisively hung up the phone, but it wasn’t long before several other strangers called. In an attempt to understand what was going on, Mrs. Chen politely inquired why they were calling her. The netizen on the other end of the line laughed angrily, then, with biting sarcasm, relayed the events from online: "You old hag, still pretending here? Why don’t you just die?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen’s face went pale.

Mrs. Lian, wearing her reading glasses, hadn’t noticed Mrs. Chen’s state; she thought Mrs. Chen was talking to an employee on the phone. When she turned around after putting down her needle and thread, she found Mrs. Chen had already fainted on the floor.

Mrs. Lian was terribly frightened and hastily went to look for the servants and the family doctor.

They supported Mrs. Chen to her room and laid her on the bed.

"How is she? Dr. You, how is Yunlian doing?" Mrs. Lian asked anxiously.

After examining her, the doctor finally said, "She seems to have been startled by something."

"She was on the phone just now," Mrs. Lian said. "The phone was far away, so when she went over to answer it, I didn’t pay much attention to the conversation."

Just then, Mrs. Chen’s phone rang again, and the doctor picked it up, only to hear a wave of abuse.

"Who are you people? You’ve cursed an old woman into unconsciousness, what do you want?"

Then, the caller rudely hung up.

Mrs. Lian guessed that something might have happened and thus asked the servants to quickly contact Shi Lan.

Shi Lan also received the news that Mrs. Chen’s mobile number had been leaked.

The studio’s staff quickly took screenshots as evidence and forwarded the post to Shi Lan.

After learning that Mrs. Chen had fainted, Shi Lan immediately reported it to the police. The cyber police, recognizing the severity of the incident, took immediate actions online and located the netizen who had spread Mrs. Chen’s phone number, based on the login information from real name registration. They arrested the netizen and detained them for seven days, followed by a public notice.

Of course, the old lady’s phone number had already been leaked, and even though the keyboard warrior was caught, she could no longer continue to use it.

Upon learning of Mrs. Chen’s fainting, Old Master Zhong was so angry that he immediately dropped his work and rushed home.

Seeing that the old lady had not yet regained consciousness, he said to Shi Lan, "These people are utterly lawless!"

"With the help of an employee, we’ve got solid evidence regarding Lian Qingyi spreading harmful information. I’ve already submitted it to the police when dealing with the troll this afternoon," Shi Lan said.
