Ye Shu pressed the power button on her smartphone, only to realize it had been turned off. Oh no, that meant Mr. Sheng couldn’t get through to her. He must be frantic, right?
Just as Ye Shu was about to turn the phone back on, Sheng Shuai snatched it from her.
"Handsome B, give it back to me in three seconds, or you’ll be risking your life!" Ye Shu glared at Sheng Shuai.
Sheng Shuai returned the phone, saying, "Are you crazy? The moment you turn on your phone, they will be able to track your location through technical means!"
Ye Shu suddenly understood, "Oh, so it was you who turned off my phone?"
Sheng Shuai flashed a handsome smile, "See, how clever am I? Don’t worry, as long as you’re here in Wuyou Valley for a day, no one will come to disturb our world for two."
"Boring. I’m not the criminal, why should I be afraid of being checked? I’m not scared at all!" Ye Shu retorted and tried to switch on the phone.
"You should first understand the situation," Sheng Shuai said, passing his large-screen phone to her. "You’re now a rat crossing the street, with radicals forming groups to dox you. Think of the consequences if they find you?"
Ye Shu flipped through Sheng Shuai’s phone and was so angry she could spit blood.
Before, when those people had been sensationalized by the paparazzi, they were just featured on the front page headlines, scrolling by. But this time, her incident had been given special edition tracking reports on several well-known websites and apps.
"Rich girl’s family fortune collapses, and in a desperate attempt to turn things around, the woman turns herself into an assassin."
"Sisters of a wealthy family fight in the same room, the elder sister climbs into bed seeking a backer to surpass her younger sister."
"Ye Shu, winner of the Best Public Image Award, bullies others relying on her position, pushes her uncle from the rooftop, suppresses with the power of men, and still remains beyond the reach of the law."
"Can money buy the right to take a life? Let’s discuss it together."
All sorts of titles, accompanied by various videos, edited dialogues, speculations, and curses filled the air.
There were also justice posts written by radicals for Ye Xinyu in the comment section below. Those willing to seek justice for Ye Xinyu and condemn Ye Shu had surpassed ten million followers, tagging official websites of various authorities in an effort to prompt relevant institutions to supervise Ye Shu so the murderer wouldn’t go unpunished.
Even worse, some were saying that the President of Shengshi Group, Sheng Shaochen, was fiercely protective, willing to ensure her safety at all costs for the sake of a woman. Hence, Ye Shu had not yet been brought to justice, urging everyone to see the true colors of Shengshi Group, and calling for all to cancel business dealings with Shengshi Group.
"Outrageous!" Ye Shu slammed her palm against a pillar, "Even if they accuse me, why involve Sheng Shaochen? He wasn’t even at the scene. Why should he suffer such substantial economic losses and be framed with baseless charges?"
"Do you think it’s just about Shengshi Group’s economic damage?" Sheng Shuai said, "The worst is yet to come. As far as I know, several port countries in foreign trade have decided to suspend transit visas for Shengshi Group because Sheng Shaochen got involved in your incident, cutting off more than half of the Sheng Family’s financial channels!"
"Is that so?" Ye Shu panicked. She had never imagined the incident would lead to such severe consequences. If she had known earlier, she would have never left with Handsome B.
