Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Was it you who drugged me?_1

"Stop watching!"

Su Qingcheng couldn’t bear it any longer. Her face flushed red as she quickly stepped forward, snatched the smartphone from Wang Guanxi’s hand, and shut off the video without a close look. She then turned to Xu Yourong with guilt and said, "Yourong, it’s my fault... I have done something wrong to you..."

Xu Yourong did not speak. She carefully stared at Su Qingcheng for a while, then turned to the smartphone that had the video turned off as if recalling something.

"Haha! Ning Fan, ah Ning Fan, your scandal has now been exposed, and you can no longer deceive Miss Xu!"

"After doing such a disgusting thing, you no longer have the right to be Miss Xu’s boyfriend!"

"Ning Fan, Miss Xu will not protect you anymore. If you still refuse to help Young Master Bao with his leg treatment, then Young Master Bao will send someone to capture you and amputate your own legs!"

Wang Guanxi laughed heartily, appearing very pleased with himself.

Due to the angle, Ning Fan hadn’t seen the video screen. He coldly said to Wang Guanxi, "Play that video for me again."

"You still want to watch your own disgusting video in front of Miss Xu? You’re simply vile!"

Wang Guanxi’s expression became unnaturally agitated as he shook his head repeatedly, refusing to play the video again and tucked away the smartphone.

"Play the video again and let me take another look."

At this point, Xu Yourong also spoke up.

"Ah?"

Wang Guanxi was taken aback and then nervously said, "Miss Xu, the video is really too offensive to the eyes; let’s not continue watching, shall we?"

"Watch, why not watch? Since you have brought out the video, let’s take a close look."

However, Xu Yourong shook her head, reached out, and took the smartphone from Wang Guanxi’s hand, opening the video again.

Su Qingcheng really didn’t want to see herself undressed in an awkward state and subconsciously turned her head away.

But Xu Yourong reached out and pulled her, saying, "Qing Cheng, come, let’s watch it together."

"Yourong, don’t be angry, let me explain..."

Su Qingcheng thought Xu Yourong was angry and hurriedly tried to explain, but as her eyes swept over the smartphone screen, she frowned.

Xu Yourong hadn’t kept playing the video but instead paused it at the initial frame.

In this frame, one could clearly see the faces of Ning Fan and Su Qingcheng.

Su Qingcheng looked at herself in the frame and instinctively felt something was off.

Her own face in the frame seemed somehow distorted, and more importantly, the body of her on-screen self had certain features that simply weren’t hers!

"The video is fake; it was doctored using AI face-swapping," said Ning Fan from behind her.

He had glanced at the video screen from the back and immediately spotted the problem.

"AI face-swapping? I knew it; the man in this video doesn’t have a physique as good as yours, Ning Fan," Xu Yourong realized.

"Wha-what face-swapping? I-I don’t know what you’re talking about! Ning Fan, don’t try to deny it; this is the video of you cheating with Su Qingcheng! Clearly, it is you and Su Qingcheng herself in the video!" The panic on Wang Guanxi’s face could not be masked any longer, but he still tried to argue.

"If I’m not mistaken, you must have hired someone in the past few days to take pictures of Miss Su and me and then found a pornographic clip on the internet and used AI face-swapping technology to replace the faces of the male and female leads with me and Miss Su, right?"

"Too bad, the AI face-swapping technology can only change faces, not bodies! Body features cannot be altered!"

"Moreover, you forgot one thing: all the guest rooms on Lake Heart Island have no video surveillance installed."

Ning Fan said indifferently, taking out his smartphone and dialing Pei Qinhai’s number.

"Mr. Ning, may I help you with something?"

From the phone, Pei Qinhai’s voice was extremely respectful. Although Ning Fan had already returned the property rights to Xu Yourong, Pei Qinhai did not dare to show any neglect.

"Manager Pei, has anyone ever installed cameras in the Lake Heart Island guest rooms?" asked Ning Fan.

"Never! Such an invasion of guest privacy is something we would never do!" Pei Qinhai declared loudly.

"Thank you."

Ning Fan put away his phone and, with a cold smile, looked at Wang Guanxi and said indifferently, "Now, do you have anything else to say?"

"I, I..."

Wang Guanxi’s face turned pale, and he stammered.

"Not admitting it yet? Then let’s call the police. Using AI face-swapping technology to create such illegal videos, if reported, you could be jailed for at least three to five years," Ning Fan continued calmly.

"No, please, don’t call the police, don’t call the police!"

"I was wrong; I was possessed; please don’t call the police!" Wang Guanxi begged again and again.

"So you’re admitting that the video is fake? That you don’t actually have any video of me?"

Su Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, finally grasping the situation, and her icy gaze turned towards Wang Guanxi, filled with murderous intent.

"I, I..."

Wang Guanxi’s face was a picture of misery, and as he spoke, he began to back away, looking ready to flee.

"Don’t rush off; I have one more question for you," Ning Fan stepped forward two paces, staring coldly at Wang Guanxi and said, "There are no cameras in the Lake Heart Island rooms, so how would you know that Miss Su and I were ’having an affair’ in a Lake Heart Island room?"

"Ah? This... this..."

Wang Guanxi was now completely flustered. Without any cameras or videos, his prior fabricated story about a brother hacking the network couldn’t possibly hold up.

"Could it be that you were the one who drugged us at the time?"

Looking at the flustered Wang Guanxi, Ning Fan suddenly spoke up.
