Although Jiang Jingchen said that he wouldn’t let Fu Jin listen in, Tang Beibei wanted to listen in, so he put his phone on speaker.

After the call went through, Jiang Jingchen said, “Hello, is that the police? I would like to report a company of suspected wrongdoing!”

When Fu Jin heard that he was calling the police, the corners of his mouth twitched.

The police was quite an amazing organization.

Jiang Jingchen continued, “That company has slandered me and ruined my reputation. I want to sue them. Please have the cyber police investigate them. They have probably violated some laws or even evaded taxes. I must report them! Thugs!”

Jiang Jingchen spoke with the police for a while and asked them to investigate the company immediately. The police said they would.

Tang Beibei looked at her husband in shock. “Hubby, you didn’t even investigate that company. How do you know that they evaded taxes?”

Tax evasion was a crime!

Jiang Jingchen explained, “Running a troll farm is shady business, but it’s lucrative. The money they make can’t flow through the economy normally; they probably keep a lot of things off books.”

“A normal company would keep their accounts in order and law enforcement would be able to find any discrepancies if they checked.”

Tang Beibei gave him a thumbs up in admiration. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝑜𝓂

However, she was puzzled. “It’s such simple logic. Why does such a company still exist?”

Fu Jin explained to her, “This business is sort of an offshoot of the entertainment industry. Although it’s a gray area, artistes who know about it know it very well, but they won’t say anything openly.”

“Because no one knows when they will need their own trolls one day. Artistes who do not have any background wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences of provoking the trolls. Artistes with some background would know better and would avoid provoking them.”

Fu Jin added, “Beibei, if you join the entertainment industry one day, you’ll understand these subtleties.”

“Artistes need online traffic to make money so they can control the narratives about their work.”

Tang Beibei scratched her head without fully understanding and said, “Sounds quite complicated.”

Fu Jin rubbed his eyebrow with his index finger. He should just pretend that he hadn’t said anything.

The company got wind of the police report. The trolls immediately stopped posting comments and the internet instantly quieted down.

However, there was another video that attracted everyone’s attention.

It was the video of Fu Jin taking photos of Tang Beibei.

Someone had said in the past that Fu Jin and Tang Beibei were a couple, but Ruan Qi had clarified online that they weren’t together and that Tang Beibei was in love with someone else.

But the two of them were taking photos so intimately that some netizens were calling Tang Beibei a two-timing b*tch!

“What’s wrong with this Beibei? Someone said that she and Fu Jin are a couple. She quickly denied it but she’s secretly dating Fu Jin. How shameless is that?” “Isn’t this a common trick played by b*tches? She’s friends with him on the surface but she secretly wants to sleep with Fu Jin.”

“She might have cozied up to Fu Jin because she wanted to ride on his popularity. She’s trying to toy with my Fu Jin’s feelings!” fr(e)ewebn(o)vel

“Fu Jin, don’t be fooled by the appearance of this b*tch. This woman is after your fame and your body. She’s an irresponsible scumbag!”

“I heard that this Beibei is a top student in school. I’d advise her to focus on being a top student instead of using unscrupulous means to gain attention. It’s disgusting!”

“She’s a top student so she must be quite smart and know how to trick people or toy with their feelings. She deserves all the scolding she’s getting here!”

Jiang Jingchen looked up at Fu Jin and chuckled. “My wife needs to ride on your popularity?”

Fu Jin was also very surprised to see the video.

He didn’t expect anyone to record something like that and post it online to smear Tang Beibei so quickly after the other scandal broke.

Fu Jin immediately logged into his account and posted, “Beibei and I are classmates. It’s just a harmless, impromptu photo shoot. Please don’t read too much into it!”

But his explanation fell on deaf ears.

“Fu Jin, you must have been voodooed by Beibei!”

“Do we need to act so intimately when taking photos? Fu Jin, you’ve been deceived by her yet you are helping her. You’re such a fool!”

“Fu Jin, explaining means trying to cover it up and trying to cover it up means that there’s some truth. There is no friendship between men and women, only spare tires. That woman is using you as a spare tire!”

Fu Jin held his forehead. The more he explained, the worse the situation became. The people who had been voodooed were probably these netizens!

He wanted to post another message to clarify, but Jiang Jingchen said, “Stop explaining.”

“So, we are not going to clarify things?”

“Things must of course be clarified, but not by you.”

Jiang Jingchen looked at Tang Beibei. “Are you angry that people are talking about you and Fu Jin?”

Tang Beibei glanced at her phone and shook her head. “No.”

“Why aren’t you angry?”

Was she happy to be associated with Fu Jin?

Jiang Jingchen was furious.

“Didn’t you say that it’s not my fault if I didn’t do anything wrong?”

“Since it’s not my fault, why should I be angry? Getting angry would just give those people the satisfaction!”

Jiang Jingchen was at a loss for words.

Tang Beibei was the only person in the world who could make him so angry that he couldn’t speak!

He took a deep breath and said, ‘You’re right. It’s not your fault. You don’t have to mind what others think.”

Fu Jin asked, “What should we do now?”

“Nothing!”

Jiang Jingchen was angry at him.

He took out his phone and logged into his social media account. Just as he was about to post a photo, the woman beside him asked in confusion, “Hubby, didn’t you say that your phone ran out of battery?”

“I put it in my pocket and charged it.”

Tang Beibei reached into his pocket and felt around. “There’s no portable charger. Hubby, are you an electricity generator?”

Was he a Thunderbolt Fantasy character that could charge his phone on the fly?

“… Pfft”

Fu Jin wanted to hold back his laughter, but when he saw Tang Beibei’s adorable and confused expression, he couldn’t help himself.

Sensing Jiang Jingchen’s cold gaze, he cautiously looked away and tried really hard to hold back his laughter.

Jiang Jingchen pinched Tang Beibei’s cheek. ‘TH charge you when we get back. Now, please behave. Stop feeling around my pocket.”

Tang Beibei blushed when she thought about how he would charge her. She didn’t dare to say more.

“…” Fu Jin didn’t find it funny anymore and wanted to get out of the car and leave.

Jiang Jingchen was going to use one of his registered accounts to announce that Tang Beibei was his wife. The official announcement of their relationship would shut those stupid netizens up.

However, when he thought about the negative atmosphere online, and the damage the trolls had done, he figured that no haters would want to see Tang Beibei well now.

Now wasn’t the best time to clarify things.

Therefore, he decided to put this matter aside for now and let his people investigate Mrs. Zhang’s whereabouts while he took Tang Beibei home for dinner.

Of course, he wouldn’t invite Fu Jin to dinner.

He was afraid that he would kill Fu Jin if he saw more of him today!

Fu Jin met the man’s murderous eyes. They were so dark that Jiang Jingchen looked like he was going to eat him for dinner. He would be courting death if he invited himself to dinner with them.

Fu Jin tactfully left, and Jiang Jingchen’s gaze softened a little. He pretended to ask the woman beside him casually, “What does 001031 mean?”

Tang Beibei looked at him. “You don’t remember?”

“Remember what?”

Tang Beibei pouted unhappily and crossed her arms without saying a word.

Jiang Jingchen reached out and rubbed the top of her head. “Obedient Beibei…”

“Don’t touch me. Can’t you see that I’m angry?”

“… Just because I don’t understand your password?”

“No!”

She said no but angrily, her face red with anger.

Jiang Jingchen thought about what happened on October 31st.

Tang Beibei turned her head and saw that he had not answered. She mumbled, “Ruan Qi was right. Men really forget the woman after they put their pants on.” “… Don’t listen to Ruan Qi’s weird theories. Why would I forget you?” “Don’t you remember that on that day, I…”

Jiang Jingchen looked at her and suddenly remembered. He smiled, stopped the car by the roadside, and leaned in to kiss her, but the little woman covered her lips with both hands in protest.

Jiang Jingchen scratched her chin. She felt a tickle and put down her hands. He leaned in a successfully pecked her on the lips..
