Chu Ci’s fingers gently rubbed her lips, pondering for quite a while, her gaze finally landing on the fan’s teddy bear on the sofa.
She bent down to take a pair of scissors from the coffee table drawer and cut the teddy bear open directly.
"What are you doing?"
"This is a gift from a fan today. If I’m not mistaken, there should be a camera inside."
Chu Ci’s face darkened as she opened up the teddy bear, and sure enough, there was a miniature camera inside.
Su Yan was stunned as she took the camera and quickly smashed it: "What’s wrong with fans today? This is spying and it’s illegal. Don’t they have any basic legal knowledge?"
"I don’t think a fan did this; someone must be deliberately trying to frame me."
The incident a few days ago where Chu Ci was followed by fans was known only to Han Xi, Manman, and a few others. In the hospital, Han Xi had already told the doctors and nurses not to disclose that she was hospitalized.
But today, as soon as she was discharged, reporters blocked her at the door, and fans sent her gifts. Piecing these things together, it looks too much like a premeditated plan.
Su Yan frowned as she looked at Chu Ci: "You used to have such good connections in the circle, and now you’re focused on staying at home to care for the baby. Who would you have offended?"
"I don’t know either. First, we need to find the IP address that sent the video, to see if we can detect who did this."
"I’ve already sent people to investigate. Right now, the most important thing is to quickly calm the public opinion online. We need to come up with a very good statement."
Chu Ci leaned back on the sofa, her fingertips casually tapping on her leg: "Things are exactly as they are, what kind of statement can we make?"
"Even if it’s made up, we have to come up with a reason. If this situation continues to escalate, the image you’ve built up over the years will be completely ruined."
"Not responding might actually be the best solution. The person in the video is indeed me, and there’s no way to deny it. Instead of making excuses, it’s better not to respond."
"I’ve found the person who sent the video; it’s Yao Qian."
At the entrance, Fu Bin had already changed his shoes. As he took off his coat, he walked into the living room.
Upon hearing the sound, Chu Ci turned to look at him: "Are you sure it’s Yao Qian?"
The last time Yao Qian flirted with Fu Bin in the restaurant corridor, Chu Ci had said that she would make sure Yao Qian couldn’t get any roles in the entertainment industry. With Chu Ci’s connections and abilities in the circle, achieving this was no problem at all.
Yao Qian hadn’t received any invitations from directors in the past few months, which is why she wanted to take revenge on Chu Ci.
Fu Bin casually draped his coat over the sofa and sat down beside Chu Ci: "I’ve already handed this matter over to the lawyers to handle, and as for the online public opinion, I’ll also get someone to try and calm it down."
Chu Ci nodded, suddenly feeling very grateful to have a shoulder to rely on.
With Fu Bin handling this, Su Yan was relieved. After all, he is the heir to the renowned Fu Group in An City, while she, a small-time agent, would exhaust every means to accomplish something that Fu Bin could achieve effortlessly.
Su Yan picked up her bag from the sofa, teasing Chu Ci with envy: "I think you don’t need to work anymore. Just stay at home and be a rich wife. How did you find such a good husband like Mr. Fu?"
Chu Ci couldn’t help but laugh at her sarcastic remarks: "After having the baby, I indeed don’t plan to focus on work anymore, so don’t be too disappointed when that time comes."
