"Lin Xuan, you really have some skills!" Gu Tingchen's tone was icy, filled with anger and disappointment.
"Tingchen, what are you talking about? I don't understand," Lin Xuan feigned innocence, blinking her eyes, but her gaze was somewhat evasive.
"Stop pretending! I've already found out it was you!" Gu Tingchen threw a document in front of Lin Xuan, which clearly recorded how she had contacted online trolls to spread rumors and tarnish Su Nianqing's reputation.
Lin Xuan's face turned pale, but she quickly regained her composure; she knew she had no way out now.
"Yes, it was me! So what? Who told her to take you away from me!" Lin Xuan shouted hysterically, her eyes filled with jealousy.
Gu Tingchen looked at the woman who used to be gentle and lovely, feeling a mix of emotions.
He didn't know when Lin Xuan had become so obsessive and crazy.
"Lin Xuan, you're wrong. The person I love is Su Nianqing, and that has never changed," Gu Tingchen said firmly, without a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan swayed slightly as if all her strength had been drained away.
She looked at Gu Tingchen unwillingly, tears blurring her vision.
"Why? What does she have that I don't?" Lin Xuan's voice was hoarse and desperate.
"Love isn't about comparison; it's about being moved," Gu Tingchen said, looking at Lin Xuan with a trace of pity. "You're great, but I don't love you."
After saying that, Gu Tingchen turned to leave, leaving Lin Xuan standing there in tears.
He took out his phone, his long fingers quickly tapping on the screen.
Before long, commands flew out like arrows, swiftly being communicated.
"Use all means necessary; I want those who spread rumors to pay the price." His voice was deep and intimidating, like thunder in the night that sent chills down one's spine.
"Yes, General Gu," the person on the other end of the line replied respectfully but could not hide a slight tremor in their voice.
Gu Tingchen hung up the phone, a sharp glint flashing in his deep-set eyes; he would not allow anyone to harm Su Nianqing, not even those clowns hiding behind the internet—he would show no mercy.
Meanwhile, the once chaotic online public opinion began to undergo subtle changes; negative news and comments about Su Nianqing seemed to be swiftly cleared away by an invisible hand, replaced by clarifications and apologies.
Some netizens who were initially unaware of the truth began to question the authenticity of the events, while accounts that maliciously attacked Su Nianqing were banned one after another—the entire direction of online discourse shifted dramatically.
"This... how is this possible?" Lin Xuan stared incredulously at her phone screen; everything she had meticulously planned felt like a castle built of sand that had collapsed in an instant.
"It can't be! There must be something wrong!" She screamed hysterically but could not change the established facts.
Gu Tingchen did not intend to let this matter rest. He not only wanted to clear Su Nianqing's name but also to bring the mastermind behind it to justice. He utilized his connections to conduct a thorough investigation, ultimately pointing the finger at Lin Xuan.
"Lin Xuan, you have disappointed me greatly," Gu Tingchen said, his eyes devoid of warmth, his tone as cold as a judgment from hell.
"Tingchen, I... I just love you too much. I can't lose you," Lin Xuan cried, tears streaming down her face, her voice filled with despair and pleading.
"Love? Is this what you call love?" Gu Tingchen scoffed. "Do you even understand what love is?"
"Love is not possession, nor is it harm!"
