"Is it true that the actress Ding Xiang attacked you just now?"
"Film Emperor Situ, how is your injury?"
"According to netizens' leaked videos, Ding Xiang seemed to be targeting Su Ling at the time. How did you two fall out?"
"Why were you two together at that time? Are you dating?"
"Ding Xiang hates you so much, is Su Ling the one who truly exposed her?"
"Su Ling, you and Situ Chen are so close, have you received acting opportunities through him?"
"Did you two get together after the 'Let's Fall in Love' variety show?"
...
The reporters shoved their microphones towards them, bombarding them with questions. Situ Chen shielded Xiao Wenqiang firmly behind him, calmly replying, "No comment. Please wait for the official announcement. Thank you!"
Even at this moment, Xiao Wenqiang was still somewhat shaken. In the instant of the attack, she had genuinely considered summoning her soul weapon out of thin air. Fortunately, Situ Chen had saved her at the critical moment.
And now, this man was using his imposing physique to shield her from countless verbal attacks. In that instant, she even felt as though this man was glowing. The defenses in her heart gradually crumbled, and something called love began to flow out from within.
Xiao Wenqiang took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and smiled. Then, she looked directly at a camera shoved from the rear and said with conviction, "As reporters, please refrain from reporting unverified matters. Although every company has KPI requirements, please don't forget that your original intention as a reporter was to respect facts and report the truth."
The surrounding noise gradually subsided after Xiao Wenqiang spoke. At this moment, Gao Shiying also arrived with his car.
After Situ Chen escorted Xiao Wenqiang into the car, he turned back and said to the reporters in a clear voice, "Regarding today's incident, please consider it carefully. If any false reports appear, then we will have to trouble you to have tea with my lawyers." He then got into the car and closed the door in one smooth motion. The driver, Gao Shiying, was also very cooperative and quickly drove away from the police station.
"What's going on with you two?" Gao Shiying asked, glancing at them from the rearview mirror as he drove.
"Yeah, yeah, Ling'er, you have no idea how scared I was when I heard the news," Qiao Jia also asked from the passenger seat, turning back with concern.
"It was that Ding Xiang who suddenly went crazy and attacked people. Fortunately, Brother Chen helped me subdue her, but he got injured..." Xiao Wenqiang said sadly.
"Thanks. It's a good thing you were there, or my Ling'er would have been in danger," Qiao Jia said to Situ Chen, thanking him.
Situ Chen patted Xiao Wenqiang's shoulder to comfort her, then said to the other two, "Go back and monitor the public opinion and prepare a crisis management plan as soon as possible."
"Okay, got it!" Qiao Jia and Gao Shiying both nodded in agreement.
Upon returning home, Xiao Wenqiang also checked the public opinion on various platforms. Most of it was relatively objective and rational. However, since the incident was first initiated by netizens filming short videos and uploading photos, there were still many keyboard warriors spewing vulgarities online.

Watching the internet for the past ten minutes, Xiao Wenqiang couldn't help but marvel at the speed of "Chen Shi Entertainment's" public relations team, as the online sentiment had shifted from targeting her to a completely different narrative.
Subsequently, she didn't have much to worry about, as the police officially announced the news. They stated that Ding Xiang had attacked the wrong person due to her own misinformation. This led to another wave of "sorry for misunderstanding Su Ling" apologies online, but Xiao Wenqiang had no intention of paying attention to them.
These days, Xiao Wenqiang was busy changing Situ Chen's bandages and often cooked various nourishing soups for him to replenish his blood. Although Gao Shiying could have handled the dressing changes, they later found out that Qiao Jia had taken leave because she was pregnant. The father of the child was, of course, Gao Shiying, which was why he accompanied Qiao Jia to the hospital.
During Qiao Jia's early pregnancy, she experienced severe morning sickness. Gao Shiying went to take care of her, so he entrusted Situ Chen's dressing changes to Xiao Wenqiang. Actually, even if Gao Shiying hadn't mentioned it, Xiao Wenqiang had intended to take good care of Situ Chen, after all, he had been injured saving her!
On the day Xiao Wenqiang was changing Situ Chen's bandages for the last time, she suddenly received a call from Qiao Jia. "Ling'er, I just got some great news. Your Meng Wan has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Dragon Awards. Remember to walk the red carpet in a week!"
"Really? That's fantastic!" Xiao Wenqiang was also very excited. This was her first highest film award nomination in this world. Situ Chen beside her also gave her an encouraging and warm look.
"Of course it's true. I'll contact a stylist for you later. Whether we win or not, beauty is something we must seize!" Qiao Jia's excited mood was accurately conveyed through the phone.
"Okay, thank you, Jia Jia. By the way, how are you feeling lately? Has the morning sickness subsided a bit?" Xiao Wenqiang asked with concern.
"Same old, I just don't feel like eating. If I eat, I vomit. Other than that, nothing else," Qiao Jia complained, "So Ling'er, if you and Situ Chen don't plan on having children early, you really need to take safety precautions. I'm a living example!"
