After returning to her office from the rooftop, Gu Dai looked at Su Ting with a smile and inquired, “Is the event abroad over?”
Su Ting’s eyes sparkled as he gazed at Gu Dai and nodded obediently, replying, “It’s finished.”
Remembering the scene on the rooftop, Su Ting expressed his concern, “Sis, about what happened…”
Gu Dai cut him off, understanding his concern, and reassured him with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’m not affected. I’ll have someone deal with it soon.”
Relieved, Su Ting received a phone call the next second.
Seeing Su Ting’s troubled face after the call, Gu Dai asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Su Ting pursed his lips and said, “Sis, the incident just now has been posted online.”
Gu Dai opened the trending searches and saw the headline. Raising an eyebrow, she clicked on it to find a video.
The video showed Jiang Yue threatening to jump off a building, followed by Gu Dai hitting her.
However, all the context, including Gu Dai’s rebuttals and the reasons for her actions, had been cut out.
Su Ting, seeing Gu Dai about to read the comments, quickly intervened, “Sis, don’t look. They don’t know the truth and have said a lot of slanderous things. Don’t let it affect your mood.”
Gu Dai remained calm and reassured him, “Don’t worry, I’m not as fragile as you think. I won’t be upset by some words. I just want to see if there are any paid trolls in the comments.”
Su Ting, hearing this, withdrew his hand but kept his gaze on Gu Dai, observing her emotional changes.
Gu Dai read the comments calmly and couldn’t help but remark, “The events of the past three years have been dug up, along with so much speculation. This generation of netizens is really talented.”
Su Ting, seeing that Gu Dai was indeed unaffected, breathed a sigh of relief, but his face darkened as he read the comments. Suppressing his anger, he said, “Sis, I’ll arrange for my PR team to handle this right away.”
Gu Dai nodded in agreement.
After getting her approval, Su Ting called his team to reduce the intensity of the situation.
Gu Dai looked at the video and comments again, speculating, “The trending search must have been paid for by Jiang Yue, and she’s not the only one who hired trolls. Others must be involved too.”
Su Ting agreed, “Right, my PR team also said it’s not just one group of trolls.”
As Gu Dai was about to guess who else might have hired trolls, her phone rang. Looking down, she saw a video related to Jiang Yue.
In the video, Jiang Yue was sitting on the ground, her face tear-streaked, being interviewed by a reporter.
“Are you sure it was the Gu family’s daughter who stole your fiance?” the reporter asked.
Jiang Yue nodded pitifully, then quickly shook her head, whispering, “I… I’m afraid to say…”
The reporter comforted her, “Don’t be afraid, Miss Jiang Yue. Tell us the truth boldly. We netizens are on your side.”
Encouraged by the reporter, Jiang Yue slowly began, “It was her who stole my fiance. We didn’t know each other before, and I didn’t want to make things difficult for her, but the man I love seems to have fallen for her. I’ve lost all hope of living, so… so…”
The comments under this video once again became lively.
“Miss Jiang Yue is so pitiful, treated so badly by a mistress, she even thought of jumping off a building.”
“Just curious, wasn’t this lady standing on the building just now? How is she back home giving interviews?”
“The person above is clearly malicious. It’s normal for her to be rescued with so many people and police around. Why are you so cruel, wishing for her death?”
“The main party has spoken. I just want to know when will Chairwoman Gu come forward?”
“Everyone’s speaking the truth. ‘Cheap Gu’ did something wrong, how dare she show her face?”
Gu Dai put away her phone and tossed it on the desk.
Su Ting spoke softly, “Sis, I’ll bring Jiang Yue here to clarify things personally.”
Gu Dai shook her head, “No need for that.”
She took out a USB drive from her drawer and plugged it into her computer. Soon, the screen was filled with dense codes.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yue was lying on her bed, gleefully scrolling through the comments under her video, her face full of smiles.
Right, keep cursing like that. It’s best to drive Gu Dai to suicide! she thought..
