Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Early the next morning, Mei Shu was about to leave for school when she unexpectedly saw Jiang He at her doorstep.

She vaguely felt that he came because of what happened last night.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang He caught sight of her, he gracefully inclined his body into a “please” gesture. “Miss Mei, Master Si asked me to give you something.”

“What is it?” Mei Shu asked.

Jiang He glanced at the house behind her, “Let’s talk in the car. I will take you to school.”

“Okay.” Mei Shu followed him to the car and noticed that there was no one inside, raising an eyebrow.

Jiang He immediately explained when he saw her confusion, “Master Si has something to do at the company today, so he couldn’t come.”

“It’s okay.” She didn’t really need to see Lu Si anyway.

After getting in the car, Jiang He handed her a file folder and a USB flash drive, “Miss Mei, Master Si learned about what happened to you last night. So he asked me to find evidence to counterattack the other party and deliver it to you.”

“That’s very kind of him.” Mei Shu lowered her gaze and opened the folder in front of her. Inside were receipts, surveillance records, and the IP addresses of the people who spread those vicious rumors.

Mei Shu wasn’t surprised to find that the person behind those comments was located at the hospital.

With this evidence, Mei Mu would be overwhelmed by public opinion, and she would be able to free herself from those hurtful words.

Mei Shu’s emotions were complicated for a moment. It seemed that she owed Lu Si more and more.

Jiang He didn’t see the joy of being exonerated on her face, so he cautiously consoled her, “Miss Mei, there’s no need to be sad. Master Si is on your side. As long as you know that, there’s nothing to fear. I can see that Master Si truly cares about you.”

Mei Shu smiled apologetically and said, “I’m not ungrateful. The only way I can help him is to take care of him when he’s sick. Next time, if his condition worsens, please send someone to me as soon as possible. That way, I can feel a little more at ease.”

“Of course.” Jiang He happily replied, “Miss Mei, with this evidence, you can immediately counterattack online! To be honest, I was angry at those people’s comments last night. I really want to see how they’ll react when they know the truth!”

Mei Shu smirked and looked out the car window as the scenery quickly retreated, “Alright, I’ll post it now.”

In fact, even if Jiang He didn’t bring these things to her this morning, she could find this evidence using her own technical skills.

However, since he had taken the trouble to bring them to her personally, she couldn’t just ignore his goodwill.

Mei Shu thought for a moment and decided not to clarify the situation on her own. Instead, she hacked the email box of the largest news media in the country and sent all the evidence there, except for the last trump card.

She was waiting for the media’s response to this attack.

They didn’t have to wait long.

The impact of this incident on society was widespread, and it involved bullying between schools. Therefore, the media was actively digging for new information. However, they didn’t expect that the most shocking news would come directly to them!

“Can we find the sender’s information?” The media department was in chaos as the chief editor urgently called the tech department to find out who was behind this astonishing news.

But their so-called fastest information-digging technology department was caught in this anonymous letter this time.

No matter how they traced it back, they still couldn’t crack the encryption of that person’s account.

Only a handful of people in the country had the ability to use this technology.

Who could be the one behind this email?

Could this matter have alarmed some big shots?

In this fast-paced era, the media had to keep up with real-time information and capture the hottest topics.

Since they couldn’t find the person behind the news, they didn’t see a need to dig deeper. If they accidentally touched the interests of certain big shots, it would bring them no benefits.

The key was whether this evidence was reliable or not.

Their news had a reputation to maintain, so they wouldn’t publish unsubstantiated information. Therefore, all the news reporters spent the entire morning verifying the evidence and came to the conclusion that everything was true.

What was currently being believed as truth by the public online was, in fact, the result of someone deliberately manipulating public opinion.

With concrete evidence, they didn’t wait any longer. They quickly edited a clarification article, including the most trending keywords related to the incident, and posted it on the media network.

At school, Mei Shu couldn’t find a moment of peace in the morning.

No matter if she went to the restroom during break or had lunch during noon, wherever she went, there was a crowd of people showing concern.

These people genuinely cared about her, and Mei Shu couldn’t reject them and appear ungrateful. However, when she was asked the same question for the fifth time, Mei Shu couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Don’t worry, everything is being clarified! There’s no need to worry about me!”

Those people still wanted to offer some comforting words, but seeing Mei Shu eating with her head down, they could only swallow their words back down..
