"Auntie Wang, it's not what you think."
Hearing Auntie Wang's stern tone, Qin Xuan let out a wry smile.
In fact, he was also extremely annoyed by this matter.
Despite his confident words, he was still human.
How could Qin Xuan not lose his temper when people pointed fingers and cursed at him?
But what good would getting angry do?
As he had said, the netizens were merely being manipulated.
The most pressing matter was to find the mastermind as quickly as possible and stop them from further damaging his reputation.
As for how to deal with that person afterward, it would depend on whether that person was Hu Hao...
"What is it?"
After a moment of silence, Auntie Wang's voice suddenly came through.
Qin Xuan was startled. "Aren't you calling to ask about me hitting someone?"
Auntie Wang chuckled, "Of course not."
"I know what kind of person you are. Even if you became the richest person in the world, you wouldn't bully others."
"That's not what I'm asking about."
"Not this? Then what is it?"
"I'm asking you, did you put the bank card under the plate?"
"Uh, the bank card..."
"I did."
Upon hearing her mention the bank card, Qin Xuan suddenly realized.
It was indeed him who had placed it there.
When he received the gift from Chen Zhongping and moved into the villa with Qin Ling'er, Qin Xuan had gone to Auntie Wang's house to return the keys.
It was at that time that he put back the bank card Auntie Wang had given him.
"Then tell me, what's going on with the money in this card?"
Hearing Qin Xuan admit it, Auntie Wang spoke coldly again.
"What's going on?" Qin Xuan awkwardly scratched his nose. "Didn't we agree when I borrowed the money?"
"I said I'd pay you back when I had money."
"Heh, yes, and how much did I ask you to pay back?" Auntie Wang sneered.
"Double, 200,000."
"And how much did you pay back?"
"1,000,000..."
"1,000,000!"
Auntie Wang's voice suddenly rose.
"I asked you to pay back 200,000, and you gave me 1,000,000!"
"What do you mean?"
"Are you looking down on me?"
"You think I gave you the money just so you'd pay me back more?!"
A heartbroken voice came from the other end of the phone.
Faintly, there was a hint of crying.
This was the first time Qin Xuan remembered Auntie Wang getting so angry.
In the past, whether it was when they broke something in the rental house or when they were late with several months' rent,
She would at most curse a few times, and then the matter would be dropped.
But this time, the feeling was completely different.
"No, Auntie Wang, please listen to me explain."
Hearing Auntie Wang getting agitated, Qin Xuan also became a little flustered.
He quickly explained his thoughts, afraid that she would misunderstand again.
"Actually, after you lent me the money, I invested it."
"My luck was extremely good, and I quickly made a lot of money."
"So I wanted to leave some more for you as a token of my filial piety."
"When I deposited the money into the card, I knew you would definitely not accept it, so I thought of this method."
"Since you know about that video, you should have seen it."
"Although I'm not too rich now, my conditions are much better than others."
"So please accept this money."
"After all, we've lived at your place for many years. Ling'er and I both consider you family."
His heartfelt words caused Auntie Wang to fall silent.
After about a minute, she spoke again.
"I've received your kind intentions, but I can't accept this money."
"I'll keep the card for now. When you come back, take the money back."
"Oh, please just accept it!"
Hearing that the old lady was still so stubborn, Qin Xuan became anxious.
"Consider this money a wedding gift for you and Uncle Zhao!"
"You child!"
"What are you talking about!"
Upon hearing the mention of Uncle Zhao, Auntie Wang's tone on the phone clearly changed.
"I'm not talking to you anymore. Anyway, I can't accept this money."
"Remember to come back for dinner next time you have time. I'll deal with you then!"
Qin Xuan: "..."
After Auntie Wang hung up the phone, Qin Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone in the neighborhood knew about her relationship with Uncle Zhao.
It was just that she always insisted on being reserved and refused his proposal.
Next time he returned to Jiangcheng, he would have to play matchmaker for Uncle Zhao and try to finalize their marriage!
However...
His own situation was the most troublesome right now!
He wondered how the clarification video from the Jiangcheng Enforcement Bureau was coming along.
As Qin Xuan was thinking, Xie Yuqin suddenly shouted.
"General, come and see quickly!"
"The Enforcement Bureau's clarification announcement is out!"
Qin Xuan hurried over. A formal notice in dark blue caught his eye.
Enforcement Notice: On October 20th, the Shàpíng District Enforcement Office received a report that a woman in the underground parking lot of Zongheng Tiandi made inappropriate remarks and maliciously insulted the reporter.
At around 9 PM that day, patrol enforcers Liu Gang and Li Can arrived at the scene.
Upon investigation, it was confirmed that Ms. Fu (female, 24 years old, university graduate) did indeed maliciously insult Mr. Qin.
When the enforcers stepped forward to dissuade her, she not only did not restrain herself but became even more defiant.
After negotiations between both parties failed, the enforcers decided to carry out an arrest in accordance with the law.
During the process, Ms. Fu repeatedly incited public sentiment and violently resisted arrest, causing significant obstruction to the enforcers' actions.
Furthermore, after being successfully apprehended, Ms. Fu used the enforcers' trust to break free from restraint and attempted to forcibly destroy Qin's apollointensae.
This notice is hereby issued.
Jiangcheng City Enforcement Bureau October 25, 2022.
After the announcement, the screen went black, and the words "The entire operation was filmed by the enforcement recorder" gradually appeared.
Following that was a recording of the incident.
The video clearly recorded the entire process from the arrival of enforcers Liu Gang and Li Can to the apprehension of Fu Mei.
Originally, this was standard procedure for official debunking.
As long as the accompanying enforcement footage clearly recorded the entire process, the truth would be revealed.
But the problem was that the incident happened too suddenly.
Although the footage clearly recorded Fu Mei's earlier tantrum and unruly behavior, both Fu Mei's sudden outburst of smashing the car and Qin Xuan's kick were just outside the camera's range.
The entire video only captured Qin Xuan saying "Ai," followed by two muffled thuds, one small and one large.
The smaller one was naturally the sound of Qin Xuan kicking.
The larger one was the sound of Fu Mei falling to the ground.
"What is the Jiangcheng Enforcement Bureau doing?!"
"Isn't this making things worse?!"
After watching the video, before Qin Xuan could get angry, Xie Yuqin uncharacteristically slammed the table.
She immediately contacted the leader of the Jiangcheng Enforcement Bureau again and started scolding him.
The other party was also very wronged.
Almost all relevant evidence had been destroyed.
They had no other choice.
Xie Yuqin didn't care about that. How dare they argue with her?
She unleashed another barrage of criticism!
However, no matter how fiercely she scolded, it was of no use.
The video had already been released.
Its viewership had surpassed one million in a short period.
Therefore, it was foreseeable that the internet would soon be stirred up again.
