TISHW 176




 Chapter 176 Qin’s Ending 3

As expected, people from the National Security Bureau came knocking. Spies were different from ordinary political stances. The latter only represents their own ideas, while the former would endanger national security. It was impossible not to investigate.

Because they were mentally prepared, Jiang Yu and Qin Shiyu didn't panic.

Xu Lehua had already arranged for someone to take photos. He squatted at the entrance of Tinglan Garden and avoided Jiang Yu. He only took a photo of Qin Shiyu being taken into the car.

So when the whole country was vigorously criticizing Qin Shiyu as a spy, Qin Shiyu's studio released the news that Qin Shiyu had gone to cooperate with the investigation. Although the picture blurred everyone except Qin Shiyu and the license plate, at this point no one would think they dared to joke about it.

The overwhelming invective suddenly stopped. Within half an hour all the slander and insults subsided like a tide. As a result, the netizens who were following the trend were still a little confused. After sending out a sentence, no one echoed it for a long time.

Those sensible netizens only spoke tentatively at this time:

【Why did netizens stop scolding when there was solid news? 】

【Is Qin Shiyu really a spy? 】

Since such neutral words didn't attract attacks, real netizens were finally able to speak:

【Good lord, the water troops have withdrawn? Why aren’t you berating? Keep scolding, he’s taken away. He must be a spy. What are you afraid of? 】

【Holy sh*t, this is the first time I can clearly feel the presence of the water troop. From yesterday to today, the overwhelming momentum made me feel that Qin Shiyu has done the people of the whole country wrong if he doesn’t die. I was just thinking it’s just a photo. Netizens are convicting and sending people to death without evidence? I bet it’s all the work of the water troop. 】

【Same, I thought I was out of tune with the world because I was too reasonable. After half a day, all the people representing netizens were water troops. 】

【So, Qin Shiyu is wrongly accused? Who is messing with him this time? 】

【Isn't it crazy to use this kind of thing to mess with people? Aren't you afraid of going to jail if discovered? 】

It wasn’t that they weren’t afraid, it was that the ignorant were fearless.

Qin Luochuan and Chen Yalian were secretly celebrating at home before they knew this news.

Qin Xingye had been very busy recently. Apart from not letting Qin Luochuan go to the company, he hadn’t restricted his freedom. Of course, the main reason was that he knews that his son had no face to go out. Qin Luochuan had been slapped in the face on a show and lost a company project. He cared most about the title of the heir to the Qin Family, so he must be afraid of being laughed at.

Qin Luochuan did stay at home after the meeting with the marketing team leader. Fortunately, the plan to attack Qin Shiyu was successful. They didn't expect that this reason would be so effective.

"In less than a day, he is finished." Qin Luochuan looked through the news on the Internet and laughed, "All endorsements and cooperation has been canceled."

Chen Yalian gently swayed her wine glass, feeling quite proud, "Like I said, the entertainment industry is like this. It's too easy to bring someone down."

Qin Luochuan took a sip of wine in delight and couldn't help grinning when he thought of something, "And the evidence that proves he is a spy is from him. How ironic, right? If he hadn't been so excellent, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation today.”

Chen Yalian felt refreshed physically and mentally, "Hahaha, what is this called, being too smart for his own good? When water is full, it overflows; when the moon is full, it wanes. He thought it is a good thing that he is powerful and omnipotent. He deserves it!"

"Just two more days. Two more days and he will never be able to get up again," Chen Yalian became more and more ecstatic as she pondered about it. "This isn't the whole internet, this is national fame! So what if he is great after that? In addition to the entertainment industry , other industries won’t dare to hire him.”

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that they had implemented this matter so well, "Would your dad still dare to recognize him? If he does, he will be a member of a spy family. He will never dare to recognize him again in this life! Hahahaha..."

Qin Luochuan's face was full of smiles. When he was about to clink glasses with Chen Yalian, he received a video call from the marketing team leader. The other party was very anxious, "Chief Qin, Qin Shiyu has been taken away for investigation."

The two were stunned for a moment. Qin Luochuan blurted out, "Is he really a spy?"

The marketing team leader was speechless before answering, "No, it's because the rumors you spread are stirred too big. The country really suspects him."

Chen Yalian didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at first, so she happily chirped, "Investigate then. It will probably take a long time to investigate him, right? The day lilies will be cold by the time he comes out."

The marketing team leader was helpless. Since he served the mother and son, he guessed their relationship to some extent. He said directly, "But for such a major matter related to national security, if he isn't one, he can report the marketing account, and ... Public attention is high now. If Qin Shiyu is innocent, then the official will announce his true identity and the cause and effect of this matter..." Then none of you could run away.

The expressions of the two of them changed. Qin Luochuan was at least more knowledgeable than Chen Yalian, thinking of main points first, "If Qin Shiyu is investigated as a spy, what would be investigated?"  

The marketing team leader replied, "All family situations and interpersonal relationships." 

He paused and added, "Immediate family members bear the brunt."

Chen Yalian’s expression finally changed, "What?!" 

She abruptly stood up, "No way? An entrepreneur as big as Qin Xingye will be taken away? If he is away from the group for one day, the loss will be huge!"

Sure enough... The marketing team leader said, "This is related to national security. Even the richest man in Asia will be taken away." 

Qin Xingye could only be among the top ten in the country, but what did it amount to in front of major national events?

Chen Yalian suddenly felt like an ant on a hot pot, "What, what, what's going on?"

Qin Luochuan stood up and declared quickly, "Disperse the hot searches first and withdraw the water troops!"

The marketing team leader said, "You don't need to tell me, it has been withdrawn. Since the country is getting involved in this matter, who dares to mess around."

Chen Yalian said angrily, "It's a photo to arouse everyone's suspicion. Does the country need to do this? How can a star in the entertainment industry be a spy?"

The marketing team leader was speechless. That's not what you said at the beginning. You wished that he was really a spy and got shot to death.

Qin Luochuan was a little angry, "Didn't I tell you earlier? Our goal is to get him out of the entertainment industry, why are you engaging in such a big fanfare and exposing him to suspicion?"

The marketing team leader was fuming. If Qin Shiyu was really innocent, he himself wouldn't get off lightly. He asked directly, "Yes, you said to get him to quit the entertainment industry. Why did you find so many marketing accounts to show off his various kinds of evidence? If you hadn't gone around saying he is suspicious, as if it’s true, would the state have gotten involved?"

Qin Luochuan was stunned, "When did I find another marketing account?"

The marketing team leader said, "You didn’t? Then why did the matter become such a big deal?"

The assistant next to the marketing team leader finally whispered, "For such a big matter, all marketing accounts want to gain popularity and get traffic. What’s more, as long as they are citizens, how can they not hate the spy?"

"Director Li said that this kind of plan should not be touched."

Celebrities’ private lives could be fabricated at will and everyone would only watch the fun. With crimes, the state would take action. Fake couldn’t become true and vice versa. Though people only watched the fun, matters such as political stance were related to national security and everyone’s vital interests. Not to mention that this time the excuse of being a spy was used. Who would indifferently spectate? Things naturally got out of hand.

The marketing team leader soon figured it out. Chen Yalian and Qin Luochuan witnessed yesterday's battle. They could sense how terrifying it was just by watching. They originally thought they had found a capable marketing team leader, but it turned out that the game strategy went overboard.

The marketing team leader frowned, "Now isn't the time to shirk responsibility. What should we do about this matter?"

"What should we do?" Chen Yalian finally understood and anxiously spun in circles, "Is it too late to say good things about him now?" 

She turned to Qin Luochuan, "Son, you should think of a way quickly, otherwise your dad will be taken away and we will all be finished!”

Qin Luochuan immediately directed to the marketing team leader, "Post a new topic now! Clear his name!"

Chen Yalian said, "Yes, yes, he has a cold personality and isn't close to people since little. He is indeed very smart. He is good at learning and has great motor skills. He is capable. He isn't a spy secretly trained by Country Y! Hurry, send it now!" 

At this time, she couldn't even care about slapping herself in the face. It was better to slap herself in the face than being slapped in the face by others.

It was a pity that they didn't have this opportunity anymore.

"Madam, Young Master, there’s someone looking for you." The housekeeper brought two men in with a solemn expression. Although the other parties were wearing casual clothes, one could tell from their figure and demeanor that they weren't ordinary people.

One of the dark-faced men showed them their IDs, "Qin Luochuan, Chen Yalian, right? There are some things that require your cooperation in the investigation. Please come with us."

Chen Yalian and Qin Luochuan could be arrogant in front of ordinary people, but their faces turn pale with fear in front of these people. After all, they both have guilty consciences.

Chen Yalian held her forehead and wanted to faint. The baby-faced man grinned, "Madam, are you afraid of something and don't dare to come with us? It's only an investigation now. If you don't cooperate, we will force you." He said and reached to his upper waist.

Chen Yalian immediately stood up straight, "How can it be? I, I have a little low blood sugar. It's nothing."

The baby-faced man glanced at the red wine and steak on their table with a half-smile, while the dark-faced man stated coldly, "Please cooperate, Chief Qin is still waiting outside."

Chen Yalian and Qin Luochuan were stunned for a moment. An ominous premonition rose in their hearts. Holding hope, Chen Yalian asked, "Which Mister Qin?"

The dark-faced man said calmly, "Mr. Qin Xingye."

Chen Yalian's legs were really weak now. She almost knelt down, but Qin Luochuan held her back.

Chen Yalian uttered in a panic, "Why, how could it be? Didn't your dad go to work? Why is he at the entrance?"

The baby-faced man smiled, "I happened to meet him at the entrance. I guess he came back to find you, right? Are you going to follow us or should Mister Qin come and call you in person?"

Chen Yalian almost hung on Qin Luochuan as they went out. Qin Luochuan's footsteps were heavy, but the two people behind him didn't allow them to escape at all.

When arriving at the entrance, they saw Qin Xingye and two other men standing together from a distance. Qin Xingye had a smile on his face and greeted the other party politely, "...I am usually occupied with work. Didn't expect the two children to go overboard with the messing and cause trouble for you.”

The baby-faced man who was approaching smiled, "This isn't messing, right? Things got so big yesterday. Director Qin, since you have so many things to do every day and don't know,  your assistant and secretary don't remind you? This is your biological son."

Qin Xingye let out an ashamed laugh, "It is really my negligence."

Of course he knew what happened yesterday. At first he thought Qin Luochuan mother and son were messing around. After hearing that all of Qin Shiyu's endorsements were canceled, he silently acquiesced to it. Although Qin Shiyu didn't seem to be interested in the Qin Family, he had an indescribable sense of crisis.

No matter which aspect he considered, it would be best for Qin Shiyu to live without accomplishing anything.

And he thought that with Qin Luochuan's incompetent ability, he could only make Qin Shiyu withdraw from the circle. He never expected that he would succeed this time and it was an extraordinary success.

The baby-faced look seemed to see through him, making Qin Xingye look away unconsciously. Then it fell on Qin Luochuan and Chen Yalian who were approaching.

Qin Luochuan and Chen Yalian looked at his gloomy eyes and unconsciously their hearts hopped out. Qin Luochuan said carefully, "Dad."

Qin Xingye stared at him intently. He couldn't hold it back anymore. Raising his hand and slapping him hard, he shouted in fury, "Beast, what a good thing you did!"

Qin Luochuan staggered and covered his face after being slapped. His head was buzzing. He had never been beaten like this since little.

Chen Yalian exclaimed and subconsciously stepped forward to protect Qin Luochuan. When she looked up, she saw Qin Xingye staring at her sinisterly, "Chen Yalian, if you and your son want to be well for the rest of their lives, cooperate with the investigation, otherwise I won't be able to save you! Understand?!"

A chill ran down Chen Yalian's spine. She saw something else in his eyes...

The baby-faced man watched their farce and didn't intervene. He opened the car door, "Everyone please, the sooner it’s done, the sooner it’s sorted."

Zhao Shunong soon received the video of Qin Xingye and Chen Yalian mother and son being taken away.

In fact, wealthy families liked to gossip. Because they were rich, the content of gossip was richer than that of ordinary people. However, it was at most someone's son messing around and getting someone pregnant, or raising a lover and having an illegitimate child, etc. At worst, it was tax evasion, pornography, gambling, drugs and other common illegal crimes. The Qin Family simply produce a spy, alerting the country's highest-level secret unit. This was very explosive gossip in the circle. Not to mention young people, even the family heads couldn't resist staying tuned.

The video was taken by Qin Family’s neighbor’s high school student daughter. It was posted to the social group and spread.

Zhao Shunong watched the video and laughed for a long time. After thinking about it, she opened Weibo: 【The scrap collector and the scraps are taken away together. How awesome. 】

Then accompanying it was that short video.

Because there were no trolls on the Internet, netizens who were making random guesses instantly found the clue.

The cameraman obviously captured it from a distance. Though it was difficult to see the face in the video clearly, Qin Luochuan had appeared on a show and Qin Xingye, as a big entrepreneur, often appeared on TV. Their body shapes were recognizable.

Everyone saw that the loving father who was so tender on TV two days ago was now slapping like it was a sworn enemy.

Moreover, Zhao Shunong's accompanying text was very pointed. One must know that as the daughter of Yiyi Jewelry, she had a say in the affairs of the wealthy family.

Immediately, some people began to connect dots: 【Scrap collector and scraps? 】

Speaking of scrap collectors, everyone's first thought was Qin Shiyu's father and now Zhao Shunong said that Qin Xingye was a scrap collector.

Everyone didn’t think about those aspects before. After all, there were many people with the same surname. But when Zhao Shunong said this, everyone connected the most superficial relationship almost immediately:

【Qin Shiyu and Qin Luochuan both have the surname Qin. Qin Luochuan’s biological mom is Auntie Chen. Qin Shiyu’s stepmother is Auntie Chen...]

【Generally, when investigating spies, the first thing to investigate is the immediate family members and family relationships, right? 】

【So... Qin Shiyu and Qin Luochuan are brothers? Qin Shiyu is Qin Xingye's son? 】

【Damn, wealthy family brothers? Why did Qin Shiyu never mention it? 】

【Biological father, stepmother, and brother of a different mother. It wouldn’t be strange if I didn’t mention them. 】

【And Qin Shiyu is older than Qin Luochuan, right? Why is the Qin Family inherited by Qin Luochuan? It's understandable if Qin Shiyu has no ability or has no intention. It can be seen in 'Perfect Holiday' that Qin Shiyu is much better than Qin Luochuan. 】

【Damn, guess what I found? Matters in the Qin Family don't seem that simple. 】
