Chapter 512: Chapter 512: You Are Being Followed
Her cute little face was filled with sorrow.
Anyone who saw that would think she was a divorced woman abandoned by her husband.
And that was the truth.
There were a few smaller pictures accompanying captions, all of her paying respects to her mother at the cemetery and sitting alone in front of a fountain in the park.
Upon closer inspection, Qin Youxuan noticed something.
“The angles of these pictures are strange, like they’re taken from surveillance cameras. Could they have been extracted somehow?” Qin Youxuan suddenly brightened up and grabbed Dan Hanjie’s clothes whilst handing the newspaper to him.
Dan Hanjie did not look at the newspaper, he looked at her hand grasping his instead.
Qin Youxuan’s fingers stiffened, and she let go awkwardly.
She lowered her head, akin to a scolded child.
Even though he didn’t scold her, his gaze was terrifying.
Yao quickly walked in and stopped in front of the two of them. “I’ve checked it all. The surveillance videos from the cemetery and the park have been taken, we can’t find out who did it yet. Both places have realized the tapes are missing and have reported the incident to the police.”
“The severity of the situation has exceeded our expectations. Everyone now believes that yours and the young mistress’ marriage is a publicity stunt. The media has also started to grow bolder, widely reporting the matter. The stock price of the companies under Dan Group has started to slide significantly. If it goes any further down, I’m afraid there will be a trading halt!”
Qin Youxuan’s first reaction was not concern for the Dan Group, but she turned to Dan Hanjie.
Her cat-like eyes gleamed brightly, staring intently at him.
Did he let Yao investigate the surveillance footage because he had chosen to trust her from the start?
Then why did he storm in with the newspaper so angrily?
Qin Youxuan bit her lip, her heartache eased slightly. She looked at Yao and said, “The media were misled, that’s why they reported the news like that. I can clarify.”
Even if she was at odds with Dan Hanjie, she would not want to get the Dan Group involved.
Especially since this incident happened because of her.
“Your clarification probably won’t suffice.”
Yao frowned, “This incident was targeted at the Dan Group. The media have probably been bought off, which is why they dare challenge Mr. Jie’s authority.”
What they wanted was for Dan Hanjie to be discredited.
Using Qin Youxuan once wasn’t enough, they had to do it twice…
“It must’ve been Wu Qing! It must be him!”
Qin Youxuan ground her teeth in hatred.
Repeatedly being used by others, she was simply furious.
“You’re being stalked.”
After a long while, Dan Hanjie finally spoke in a quiet tone. His indifferent demeanor made it seem like he was speaking the obvious.
He didn’t seem concerned about the media coverage.
Qin Youxuan shuddered, lifting her head to look at him.
After some thought, she said with a biting lip, “Dan Group can hold a press conference to clear up the truth. People can lie, but evidence cannot. We are not divorced, which is a fact. As long as we present our marriage certificate, it can prove the rumors of our divorce are just that, rumors. This should be able to restore some parts of the group’s image.”
Right now, she greatly appreciates Dan Hanjie’s unwillingness to divorce. Otherwise, they would have lost their last trump card.
Suddenly, Qin Youxuan remembered something. Her body stiffened while she squinted suspiciously at Dan Hanjie.
Could it be that his constant refusal to divorce was because he foresaw that someone would exploit the situation?
He was never unable to let her go…
