Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 711: Disappearing at a Critical Moment

Ever since she saw the scandal erupting online, Ji Weitian had been harboring a doubt.

Yesterday, Qin Nanyu picked up her and the two little ones from the kindergarten and took them to dine with Zhang Lingying.

When selecting the restaurant, he asked no one else but Yaoyao, who eventually helped Ruirui pick his favorite restaurant.

Which meant, the restaurant they dined at yesterday was chosen on the fly.

If that was the case, there was no possibility that any reporter had gotten wind of it beforehand and staked out the place in advance.

Furthermore, those photos that were released seemed to be taken by passersby, but the angles were so peculiarly good, they didn’t resemble the work of random onlookers at all.

What passerby would only focus on taking photos of Qin Nanyu and Zhang Lingying?

And the rare photo that captured her and the little guys had them deliberately edited out?

Ji Weitian didn’t have much of a presence on her own, but since Ruirui and Yaoyao had been on the show, their popularity was in no way inferior to Qin Nanyu, their biological father.

Walking down the street, as soon as someone recognized them, they would almost always inadvertently pull out their phones to sneak a picture; yet, the person who exposed Qin Nanyu and Zhang Lingying’s affair intentionally edited them out. Wasn’t that strange?

Speaking of grabbing attention, wouldn’t a headline like "Qin Nanyu’s love life blossoms, dines with two women at the same time" attract even more eyeballs?

But, the focus was only on Qin Nanyu and Zhang Lingying.

A get-together of five people had been maliciously twisted into a secret rendezvous between Qin Nanyu and Zhang Lingying...

She absolutely didn’t believe that this happened without someone pulling the strings!

If someone was deliberately manipulating the situation, they were obviously plotting something. She couldn’t allow herself to be used unwittingly and be senselessly scolded by netizens.

Previously she refrained from inquiring because it was clear that the target was Qin Nanyu and it didn’t have much to do with her.

But now that they had gone public with their relationship, she couldn’t just watch someone bully her boyfriend.

She had to figure out what was really going on.

Moreover, she always felt that there was more to the incident than met the eye...

"I understand, I’ll help you look into the source of the leak, and I will let you know once we identify our target," Leng Jian quickly promised.

On the other end.

After being driven out of the data room by Ji Weitian, Qin Nanyu didn’t return to the lab; instead, he went downstairs and got into his car.

Soon after closing the car door, the assistant came down from the lab.

Still holding a document in hand.

"Did you find it?" Qin Nanyu’s dark eyes lifted as he saw the assistant get in the car and he asked.

"Not yet, the person who spread the news is quite skilled. The message wasn’t sent from just one place and there were efforts to disguise it, so the source can’t be traced yet. But based on what we’ve uncovered so far, we can confirm that the scandal’s sudden exposure was purposefully orchestrated, as you, boss, had speculated. The motives, however, are still unclear," the assistant replied with precision.

Everyone only noticed the impact caused by the scandal and the subsequent revelation of a romance, but no one paid attention to how the scandal was leaked in the first place.

The assistant was taken aback when Qin Nanyu instructed him to look into the source of the news, but once he came to his senses, he immediately realized the gravity of the situation.

"Go find He Feichen, this kind of thing is his forte," Qin Nanyu said indifferently.

"Young Master He?" The assistant looked at Qin Nanyu with some surprise.

He Feichen was notoriously irresponsible; if he did get involved, it was surely for the sake of a beauty. Was it reliable to ask for his help with such a serious matter?

The assistant muttered to himself but still followed Qin Nanyu’s instructions. He made a phone call, only to find that He Feichen’s phone was switched off.
