Ning Zijin frowned, "Stop bothering Ji Yunya. She’s not like us, and she definitely wouldn’t commit murder." "You’re that confident?" Although Ning Zijin didn’t know much about Ji Yunya, she had heard from Zihuan that she was an outstanding girl. Especially now, her name was being dragged through the mud due to the case, provoking unwarranted speculation and public opinion—a rather unfortunate development for her. "I trust my judgment of character. Do you agree or not?" Ning Zijin asked. Jian Junjie glanced at Ye Feng and shrugged, "Ultimately, facts speak louder than words. Currently, there is no sufficient evidence proving she’s the murderer. The prime suspect is still Bai Xiangxiang. You win." "It’s not about the lack of evidence; it’s simply impossible for her to be the killer. Your argument doesn’t stand," said Ning Zijin. Jian Junjie sighed and shook his head, "People laugh at me for being too mad; I laugh at them for not seeing through..." "What did you say?" Ning Zijin’s eyebrows arched lightly. After Jian Junjie left, Ning Zijin let out a sigh, "Finally, I’ve completed the task Uncle Four gave me," and leaned on Ye Feng’s shoulder, closing her eyes slightly. Ye Feng wrapped his arms around her shoulders, drawing her completely into his embrace and said softly, "Rest in my arms for a while." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ nοvelfire.net Ning Zijin narrowed her eyes, comfortably leaning into his embrace. The cafe was quiet, the afternoon sunlight warm and bright—it was an intimate and peaceful atmosphere. Ye Feng suddenly asked, "Is this Ji Yunya the same girl who had a conflict with Xiaoxiao at the party last time?" He had also heard about Ye Xiaoxiao’s disfigurement, her scheming backfiring and suffering the consequences. It seemed his sister had it coming. His mother had mentioned it briefly; it was all because of Ji Yunya. Ning Zijin replied dully, "Seems like it. But Xiaoxiao deserves it. If not for Ji Yunya’s cleverness, she would be the one going abroad for plastic surgery right now." She made no effort to hide her disdain for her sister-in-law in front of Ye Feng. That little sister-in-law had indeed inherited the worst of Lady Ye; with a mother and sister like that, how had Ye Feng managed all this time? Ye Feng used to defend their image in front of Ning Zijin, but now his heart was completely shattered. "Xiaoxiao did go too far." "By the way, how is Xiaoxiao doing abroad?" Ning Zijin asked. "Fine, mom found her the best plastic surgeons." Ning Zijin couldn’t help but laugh at the thought; this was what one called poetic justice. Usually so arrogant, now she fully deserved her fate. There was a sense of panic among the staff at the TV station these last few days. Director Guan Donghui was taken away by the police for suspected illegal activities, and it was revealed thereafter that he had been involved in sexual transactions with several female artists under the company’s banner. The extensive involvement was highly unusual in the entertainment circle, and once exposed, it stirred up a massive outcry online. The police later found indecent photos and videos of numerous female artists on his personal computer; the scale of it left everyone speechless. Any one of them picked out was a heavyweight in the entertainment industry, from divas to innocent girls to popular young starlets. This truly confirmed the saying: women in the entertainment circle might look cleaner than snow, but in private, they are dirtier than the Yellow River. All the women involved with Guan Donghui were viciously attacked online, some kept silent, some argued defiantly, some jumped around frantically; in the end, no one was buying it. Anyone linked to Guan Donghui was labeled beyond redemption, even if they jumped into the Yellow River, they couldn’t wash themselves clean. Some netizens joked that the two biggest scumbags of the contemporary era were Yun Shen and Guan Donghui, neither yielding to the other. Guan Donghui’s scandal involved several popular actresses in the entertainment industry; the topic was incomparably hot, and naturally overshadowed the murder case involving Yun Ya. Late reports then revealed that Guan Donghui had been secretly married, his wife being the popular host Tian Tian. This news shocked the entertainment circle. Tian Tian had maintained a single status for many years with very few rumors, those that existed were only for show promotion. Unexpectedly, she was secretly married to Guan Donghui. The public started feeling sympathy for Tian Tian, thinking how she had married such trash and suffered a huge loss. But before netizens could sympathize with Tian Tian for more than three minutes, one of the victims, that is Mo Beibei, who had been involved in the scandal with Guan Donghui and had numerous indecent videos leaked, came forward with a live broadcast. She confided that she was set up by Tian Tian and delivered to Guan Donghui’s bed. In the broadcast, she lamented her plight, stating that by the time she realized Tian Tian’s betrayal, it was already too late. The two of them had taken many indecent photos of her to threaten her; if she dared to report them, her reputation would be ruined. To save face, she had no choice but to suffer in silence.
