Faced with everyone’s condemnation, Qiu Tong swept her cold gaze across the room.
“What a joke. The daughter of a swindler will definitely cheat, and the son of a murderer will definitely kill?”
“What kind of logic is that?”
“I bought this house with real money. Every dollar can be properly accounted for. I can stay here with good conscience.”
“If I find out that you’re harassing me and my children because of this reason, I’ll definitely take legal action. By then, you won’t be able to escape the crime of slandering me and causing trouble.”
“If you guys want to stay in a jail for a few days, I don’t mind helping you fulfil that wish.”
Qiu Tong’s attitude was firm, and when the crowd heard her mention the law, they lost their confidence and started to disperse.
A few remaining stubborn folks were then cleared away after Qiu Tong called for security.
Qiu Tong had thought that this matter would end here, but the next day, her photos and history were exposed on the internet.
Lin Shan stirred up a major furore in the online forums with comments about how a swindler’s daughter was living in a luxurious mansion.
The matter continued to brew and rumors started to spread online.
Jin Yang’s expression darkened when he saw Qiu Tong’s photo on the headlines. His slender fingers scrolled down the screen. The malicious comments made the storm in his eyes deepen.
“Shao An, when did the internet become so chaotic? Clean up the online environment immediately.”
“I want everyone to know that the Internet is not a lawless place.”
Shao An, “…”
Was this really something they should bother about?
When Sir came across anything that had to do with Qiu Tong, he would always lose his mind.
Meanwhile, rumors about Qiu Tong had spread everywhere on the Internet. She saw the distorted facts and malicious comments.
Qiu Tong stared at the computer with cold eyes.
These people hid behind their computers and did not know the truth. They only followed random rumors on the Internet.
They were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws behind the keyboard. These netizens were even more despicable than those people who had pointed at her in real life!
She would let these keyboard warriors know that cyber crime was also a crime!
Qiu Tong placed her slender fingers on the keyboard. Just as she was about to show off her skills, she suddenly realized that within minutes, all the trending searches about her had disappeared without a trace. The accounts of those netizens who had been criticizing her had also been blocked.
The entire online world was quiet. There was no sign of the chaos from before.
Qiu Tong could not help but exclaim with heartfelt emotion.
The efficiency of the cyber-police in this alternate world was really very high. Such a fast response and concise action was something that even her original world could not achieve.
She closed her laptop with a smile, shaking her head gently.
Just as Qiu Tong was about to pack up and leave the house, she received an unexpected call.
“Hello, is this Miss Qiu? I am calling from the prison. There has been a sudden outbreak of an infectious disease here which has infected many prisoners, and your father Qiu Rong was not spared.”
“The prisoner is weak. I don’t know if he can make it through. He keeps talking about you. Do you want to meet him?”
Qiu Tong was stunned.
The former owner of her body hadn’t visited Qiu Rong for many years. After she transmigrated, things happened so quickly one after another. The children took up most of her time and she never even thought of the father.
She kept silent. The book she read did not provide much information about Qiu Rong and Qiu Tong’s relationship. She was a little afraid of exposing herself in front of this man who was very familiar with Qiu Tong.
Qiu Tong gave it some serious thought and finally found an excuse to reject the visit.
After hanging up the phone, she realized that the three children were peering through the door with gloomy expressions. It was obvious that they were unhappy.
When they saw Qiu Tong looking at them, they grew even more withdrawn. Qiu Xingyuan snorted coldly and ran away with his siblings. He slammed the bedroom door shut. No matter how Qiu Tong knocked on the door, the kids inside did not respond.
An ordinary bedroom door was no obstacle to Qiu Tong. She poked a wire into the keyhole, and with two clicks, the door opened.
The three children were gathered together. When they saw her, their expressions changed abruptly. Qiu Xingyuan immediately placed his hands behind his back as if he was hiding something.
“Qiu Xingyuan, what are you hiding?”
