Wei Yumeng's body stiffened, she knew that Zhan Mohan had seen everything.
However, there was nothing to be surprised about, as this matter had already spread throughout Pengcheng via the internet.
"Mohan, I... we didn't do anything." Wei Yumeng reached out to hug Zhan Mohan back, "Please believe me, we are just in a project cooperation. I don't know what those reports are about. We did meet today because we agreed last night to visit the company, which is why the scene in the photo happened."
Although Zhan Mohan felt a little more settled after hearing Wei Yumeng's words, he couldn't calm down when he thought of the comments online.
How could he not know Wei Yumeng's character, and how could he not believe her?
But his tolerance was much lower than he had imagined. He realized that no matter whether the matter was true or false, he couldn't help but be jealous, even go mad, whenever he saw Wei Yumeng with another man.
"Mohan..." Wei Yumeng wanted to say something but didn't.
Seeing Zhan Mohan's silence, Wei Yumeng felt even more uneasy. If Zhan Mohan didn't accept her explanation, what would she do?
Although this matter was not a big deal in the eyes of others, it was more important to Wei Yumeng than anything else. She didn't want the relationship between her and Zhan Mohan to have problems because of such rumors. She absolutely would not allow it.
Zhan Mohan held Wei Yumeng for a long, long time. He wanted to confirm through this way that Wei Yumeng was still by his side at this moment, and that she belonged to him.
Finally, Zhan Mohan deliberately rubbed his cheek against Wei Yumeng's: "Mmm, I believe you."
He could feel how nervous Wei Yumeng was now. If he didn't ease the atmosphere at this moment, Wei Yumeng would probably be scared to death.
Hearing this answer, Wei Yumeng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Mohan, if you don't like to see such news, I can ask Feng Shi to terminate the cooperation with Feng Xing. This project hasn't officially started yet, so there's still time to salvage it."
Zhan Mohan chuckled and sighed, "No need. This project is indeed a good cooperation for you. It would be unfair to you to give it up just because of this matter."
As he spoke, Zhan Mohan deliberately leaned close to Wei Yumeng's ear: "I was just a little angry when I saw those messages and comments, but those rumors are just rumors."
Wei Yumeng said solemnly, "Those are really just rumors, I promise."
"Mmm," Zhan Mohan replied, and then released Wei Yumeng from his embrace. "Although I believe your explanation, it's not enough."
Wei Yumeng was stunned: "Then what else do you need me to prove?"
Zhan Mohan looked at her with even deeper affection in his eyes: "Why don't we continue what we didn't finish earlier, okay?"
Before Wei Yumeng could react, Zhan Mohan blocked her lips.
Wei Yumeng felt that this kiss was very domineering, showing his presence everywhere.
Although domineering, it was also full of tenderness.
This time, to prevent what happened before from happening again, Zhan Mohan deliberately turned off Wei Yumeng's phone.
Although Wei Yumeng was a little unhappy, she let Zhan Mohan be willful this time. Only by doing so could he be put at ease.
Originally, the two children were very worried after hearing about the scandal, wondering if it would affect Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng's relationship.
However, as soon as they walked out of the room, Zhan Jinzhi suddenly saw something he shouldn't have.
He instinctively covered Zhan Shiqing's eyes.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Zhan Shiqing still didn't understand what had happened.
Zhan Jinzhi simply said, "Let's go back. Mom and Dad should be fine now."
"Ah?" Zhan Shiqing still didn't know what had happened, but Zhan Jinzhi had already guided her back into the room.
The next day, the first thing Zhan Mohan did upon arriving at the company was to get to the bottom of this matter.
Although he had accepted Wei Yumeng's explanation, it did not mean he could tolerate such rumors continuing to spread.
No matter who the other party was, Zhan Mohan could not tolerate it.
When Fang Xun saw Zhan Mohan's expression, he anticipated what was most likely to happen next.
"Fang Xun, go and find out which company first spread the scandal."
Ever since Fang Xun saw the news, he had anticipated that Zhan Mohan would ask him to investigate. Therefore, during his time off yesterday, he had already figured it out.
At some point, he himself hadn't realized that solving all of Zhan Mohan's problems had become his habit.
"Mr. Zhan, there are a total of five companies that first spread the scandal. They published it at the same time, with no difference in timing."
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan frowned. This was a bit strange.
Everyone knew that these media outlets fought tooth and nail for exclusive news. Moreover, the photos used in their news were the same, so there was no issue of several reporters shooting at the same time.
This situation had only one explanation: these media outlets were probably not the true exposers of the news. There was a real mastermind behind these media outlets.
However, even though he thought of this, he couldn't determine who the mastermind was.
"Mr. Zhan, should I continue to investigate the people behind those media outlets?" Fang Xun suggested.
Zhan Mohan stood up and looked out the window: "Of course, this must be investigated. But the most pressing matter now is to get someone to take down all these news articles. I don't want to see the same news tomorrow."
"Yes," Fang Xun agreed and turned to leave the office to get to work.
Zhan Mohan looked at his reflection in the window. In fact, he wasn't entirely unable to guess who the most likely person behind these media outlets was.
But it was just a feeling for now, with no evidence or clues to prove that person was responsible. He could only wait for Fang Xun's investigation results.
Following Fang Xun's investigation, five media companies were quickly identified. However, as the investigation progressed, things became even stranger.
These five media companies were all small private enterprises in Pengcheng and had no possibility of opposing the Zhan Group.
When they met Fang Xun, they realized they were in great trouble and revealed everything they knew.
"Mr. Fang, in fact, those photos were also given to us by someone else. We don't know who it was specifically. We just suddenly received an anonymous submission, and we thought it was interesting, so we used it." The person in charge said in a panic, "Since you have an opinion, we will immediately deal with those news articles and reports."
