Chapter 212 Even my rivals have become much more pleasing to the eye.
Chapter 212 Even my rivals have become much more pleasing to the eye.
After watching a story about a puppy and a rabbit for a while, Shi Sui returned to the living room with her phone and found that Xu Chaomu and Chi Yan were no longer there.
Where have you been?
Did they all go back to their own homes?
Shi Sui, shuffling in her slippers, saw that the study door was half-open and that she could hear indistinct sounds coming from inside.
Two people with such incompatible personalities, wouldn't they start arguing in no time?!
Shi Sui felt alarm bells ringing in her mind, silently praying: Please, please, don't let them fight.
If a fight really breaks out, Chi Yan is her older brother, so she can only beat him up and protect Xu Chaomu with her life.
While thinking, Shi Sui grabbed a shark plush toy from the sofa, quickly approached the study, and opened the door with lightning speed.
Shi Sui, holding up a shark plush toy, exclaimed, "Don't move!"
Xu Chaomu, who was typing on the keyboard, turned her head: "?"
Chi Yan, who was watching the hacker's actions with his arms crossed, turned his head and asked, "?"
Their movements and expressions are synchronized; who can tell if they're rivals or brothers?
Shi Sui blinked, incredulous.
They get along so well? They were so close without her knowing.
It turns out she was the unnecessary one.
So Shi Sui hid the shark plush toy behind her back: "You guys are busy, so I won't bother you."
Chi Yan immediately jumped to the side, distancing himself from Xu Chaomu, and was about to explain.
Xu Chaomu spoke first: "Yes, it's already very late, Shi Sui, you should go and rest."
Her voice was as pleasant as the soft water in a spring pond.
It also possesses a magical power to make people obey.
Shi Sui nodded: "Okay, then I'll go and rest first!"
Just as she was about to close the study door, she suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, what are you doing in my house so late?"
It's one thing for the host not to entertain guests, but to go to sleep is incredibly rude!
Chi Yan: "About that dog, Da Chui."
Upon entering the study, he discovered that Xu Chaomu and he had come to see Shi Sui for the same reason: it was all for Shi Sui.
Suddenly, even her rivals seemed much more agreeable.
Xu Chaomu: "An employee of the Gu Group traded the test materials with the TV station employees. I found the surveillance footage of his transaction with Gu Chenyi and have already captured the video."
“I found out about Gu Chenyi’s deal with Gou Dachui, and evidence that he paid for trending topics.” Chi Yan said, “Two minutes ago, the mole inside the TV station was taken to the police station. The police report and the program team’s statement should be released soon.”
Shi Sui bowed: "Thank you."
For a moment, I didn't know whether to praise Xu Chaomu's hacking skills first, or to praise Chi Yan's subordinates for being so capable.
Now, both of them were shining brightly in her eyes, glowing brightly.
Shi Sui first ran to Xu Chaomu to praise him, then ran to Chi Yan to praise him, spinning around like a little top.
Xu Chaomu grabbed Xiao Tuoluo's hand: "I'll hack into Gou Dachui's Weibo now and release the video evidence through his Weibo account."
Shi Sui was immediately drawn to the computer screen. Although she couldn't understand the operation, her eyes lit up.
Chi Yan also came over, his gaze lingering on the two holding hands, his eyes darkening.
Online comments suddenly flashed through my mind.
—Because you haven't spoiled her enough to make her feel that you will tolerate her unruliness and that you will never let go of her no matter what.
Chi Yan held back for a moment, but then realized he was doomed and still couldn't tolerate his wife holding hands with another man!
This time, however, he didn't forcefully pry their hands apart, but instead quietly hooked Shi Sui's little finger.
Although she couldn't understand Xu Chaomu's actions, it didn't stop Shi Sui from watching intently.
So much so that she was completely unaware when he held her hand.
Until the little finger was wrapped up and covered.
Shi Sui was startled and immediately withdrew her hand as if she had touched a bomb. She turned her head and saw Chi Yan: "You suddenly appeared behind me, that was scary."
As he wished, Chi Yan saw the two release each other's hands, and he raised an eyebrow slightly.
Xu Chaomu glanced at him indifferently: "Chi Yan, send me the evidence that Gu Chenyi bribed Gou Dachui, and I'll post it on Gou Dachui's Weibo."
Chi Yan: "!?" You're ordering me around?
Chi Yan nodded: "Okay, I'll send it to you."
Shi Sui couldn't see any undercurrents between the two; she only felt that their relationship was becoming more and more harmonious!

Dog Da Chui is active on the front lines of Weibo's breaking news, with millions of followers. After the "Extraordinary Scholar" video was released, he was pleased to see it quickly rise to the top of the Weibo hot search list and his number of followers increase rapidly.
As he expected, most netizens readily believed the video's content, but a few did not.
[Has everyone forgotten about Dog Hammer's fabricated rumors that led to XXX's suicide attempt by wrist-cutting? Waiting for the official announcement @SuperStudent.]
Dog Hammer immediately replied: [XXX's matter has nothing to do with me. Since I started this profession, I have always firmly believed in my beliefs and principles, revealing the truth to the public, never forgetting my original intention, and never betraying my conscience!]
However, right after he finished replying to the netizens, his computer screen flickered.
He didn't take it seriously and wanted to continue replying to netizens, pushing public opinion to a new level.
However, the mouse cannot be moved at all.
"Is the computer broken?"
"Brother Dog, my computer broke down too!"
"Me too!"
The other employees in the studio responded, putting down their mice and keyboards.
Someone asked, "The leak of exam questions for 'Super Genius' is undeniable, so when will the client pay the final payment?"
"The contract states that the final payment will be due once Shi Sui withdraws from the competition."
"Okay, let's wait for the money to arrive! Brother Gou, considering how hard we've been working overtime and staying up all night, could you treat us to a late-night snack?"
"Please!" Dog Hammer said generously.
The employees joked and laughed as they picked up their bags, ready to leave work and head off to their late-night snacks.
Just then, one of the employees called out, "Hey, Dog Bro, you just posted on Weibo again?"
Dog Hammer: "Didn't post on Weibo, my computer crashed."
Employee: "But why is there an extra video and a chat screenshot under the account!"
Dog Hammer frowned, thinking that the employee must have misread the image and was making a fuss over nothing.
However, many employees also noticed: "There's really another video! What's going on!"
Dog Hammer was much calmer: "Let me see."
He didn't turn off the computer; he moved the mouse around and found that it could move.
He refreshed his Weibo page, and two new posts popped up, causing his calm expression to crack.
The first Weibo post was a video; the original surveillance footage was blurry, but it was converted to high-definition quality.
The first half of the video is familiar; it's a conversation between the staff member who leaked the exam questions and another person, and the audio has been reproduced.
The second half of the video features a conversation between the mysterious person involved in the transaction and Gu Chenyi!
"Young Master Gu, we've received the materials; they're the questions and analysis for the next episode."
"well done."
It's just two simple sentences, but they're packed with information!
Gu Chenyi's features are clearly visible in the footage, and with the recent marketing of him as the "heir to the Gu Group and a domineering CEO," he's currently enjoying immense popularity. Anyone who has watched the show can recognize him at a glance!
The second Weibo post contained screenshots of the chat and transaction records.
It was the chat log between Dog Hammer himself and the client, and even the contract was dug up!
The chat logs and contracts contained numerous keywords: Shi Sui's withdrawal from the competition, cheating, online trolls...
Dog Hammer trembled with rage: "What's going on! Who the hell is it?!"
His hands trembled as he frantically pressed the delete button, yelling, "Why can't I delete it! You all come and take a look!"
The employees immediately gathered around.
"Can't delete it?"
"Try a different computer, or a different phone?"
"I've tried, but I just can't delete this Weibo post!?"
Dog Da Chui's Weibo account was not hacked; he could log in, but he couldn't delete the two new posts.
"Is the delete button broken? Let me try deleting and looking at my previous Weibo posts."
The previous Weibo posts can be deleted, but these two cannot!
The studio quickly contacted Weibo's official operations staff, hackers, and various other connections...
Weibo's operations team says everything is normal.
Hackers can't outmaneuver the other side.
Connections from all sides were of no use.
Dog Hammer was still desperately trying to make a phone call when suddenly, police sirens came from downstairs.
Public security organs have always maintained a 'zero-tolerance' attitude towards illegal and criminal acts such as fabricating, disseminating, and spreading rumors, and will resolutely investigate and punish them in accordance with the law.

[Staying up late to eat the biggest juicy gossip! A plot twist has occurred!]
[The exam questions for "Super Genius" were indeed leaked, but the one who cheated wasn't Shi Sui, it was Gu Chenyi!]
[Holy crap, is that Gu Chenyi, the young master of the Gu Group who's all talk and no action and just wants to go home and inherit the family fortune?]
[The video and chat screenshots are probably photoshopped. What grudge does Gu Chenyi have against Shi Sui? He has no reason to target her.]
[Exactly! Gu Chenyi's family is rich. He said he's just here to have fun and doesn't intend to win. Why would he target other contestants?]
[Gu Chenyi is so rich, he wouldn't care about the show's 100 million yuan prize money. I don't believe he cheated on the questions.]
[These days, videos can be edited; it's obviously AI face-swapping.]
……
[When you were spreading rumors about Shi Sui before, why didn't you say the video was photoshopped?]
[The video released by Dog Hammer didn't mention Shi Sui at all, did it?]
[You're all accusing Shi Sui based on footage from the show. Has anyone compared her solo cuts? I edited them (link to solo cut), so you can see clearly who has the most screen time!]
Netizens clicked into the individual cut videos.
[Holy crap, Jiang Tianyao got the most screen time! Didn't the fans say she barely got any?]
I didn't realize she had so much screen time on the show...
Why is this woman crying so much?
……
Netizens were generally rational in their observations, but many were still successfully brainwashed by Gu Chenyi's narrative, believing that a domineering CEO wouldn't care about the show's 100 million yuan offer and therefore couldn't possibly steal the questions, until—
[Police report released! The staff member responsible for leaking exam questions for "Super Genius" has been arrested! They've implicated the Gu Group!]
[A new police report has surfaced, and the person named Gou in it—could he be Gou Dachui? It also states that the Gu Group paid to spread rumors!]
[Solid evidence confirms Gu Chenyi cheated on the exam questions!]
