That afternoon, the police issued an official statement with blue background and white text.
It confirmed that Wei Guang was the true culprit behind the attempted murder case.
At the same time, Mo Ji’s official blog also posted a lengthy article.
【Mo Ji Foods V: Mr. Wei is the husband of our company’s chairwoman, Ms. Mo. Under the pretense of having cancer, he attempted to divorce her, while actually tricking Ms. Mo into signing a contract transferring the secret recipe for the spicy sauce.
When his deceitful plan failed, he resorted to murder. After the attempted murder, to avoid imprisonment, he faked his death, underwent plastic surgery, and changed his appearance.
We thank Miss Qin for her righteous actions. Mo Ji Foods will invest 30 million yuan in her name to establish a public welfare online school for Chinese character education. Additionally, our flagship store on X-Bao will offer an 80% discount with free shipping on all items. Thank you for the support and love from netizens!】
After reading the text, everyone finally understood.
A cheating husband and his mistress trying to devour the original wife’s family business.
What kind of twisted story is this!
Thanks to Qin Wanyin—if she hadn’t stopped Wei Guang, he would have truly gotten away!
【Wuwu, I’m sorry! I mindlessly believed the rumors spread by Chen Xinyi and joined in criticizing Sister Qin!】
【Sorry, Sister Qin! I now believe you’re not the mistress—it must have been someone else spreading lies!】
【Chen Xinyi is so malicious! She deliberately tried to smear Qin Wanyin!】
Amid the public outrage, the popularity of one hashtag continued to climb.
#Chen Xinyi, Apologize to Qin Wanyin#
Soon after, Chen Xinyi’s statement, “Qin Wanyin is the mistress, so she sees everyone else as a mistress,” was posted online.
The comments were filled with criticism directed at her.
Initially, she wanted to handle it quietly, but the situation spiraled beyond her control.
Even her new book faced boycotts.
It was then that she realized the severity of the situation.
She quickly went live to apologize and even posted a handwritten letter on Weibo.
However, she failed to gain forgiveness from netizens.
The director also contacted her personally, proposing to terminate her contract and remove her from the show “Love Worker.”
Moreover, all variety shows and interviews that had previously been interested in her popularity and extended olive branches now severed their collaborations.
But that wasn’t the end of it.
Artists whom she had previously mocked and slandered jointly sent her lawyer’s letters, demanding compensation for reputational damage and public apologies on open platforms.
Apart from facing tens of millions in compensation, another incident completely ruined her reputation.
A male reader had treated her book as a guide to pursuing women.
Particularly after reading the line, “If a girl agrees to watch a movie with you and drinks an iced beverage, congratulations—you’re in for a wonderful night.”
He immediately invited the girl he liked to watch the latest movie.
The girl agreed and even offered to treat him to a meal in return.
After the movie and dinner, the boy drove the girl home.
When she rejected his attempt to kiss her, he recalled Chen Xinyi’s line: “When a girl says no, she means yes.”
As a result, he not only forced a kiss on the girl but also attempted to coerce her into having sex.
The girl immediately reported him to the police.
During the subsequent interrogation, the boy still didn’t understand what he had done wrong: “But that’s exactly what Chen Xinyi’s book said!”
The girl, horrified by the experience, shared this bizarre story on Xiaohongshu to warn boys against reading such misleading books and to remind girls to stay vigilant.
However, Chen Xinyi, worried that this post would affect her book sales,
hired trolls to attack the girl in the comments section.
“If he didn’t force-kiss others, why would he force-kiss you? You must have dressed too provocatively!”
“Go die, you cheap slut! Mooching off food, drinks, and movies—what are you pretending to be pure for?”
These trolls spoke viciously.
To intimidate the girl into deleting her post, they even tracked down her university.
They threatened that if she didn’t delete the post, they would tell her teachers and classmates about how she was nearly assaulted, making it impossible for her to face anyone at school.
Under immense pressure, the girl suffered a mental breakdown and took a large amount of sleeping pills.
Now, the mastermind behind it all had been exposed.
It was Chen Xinyi.
A mysterious benefactor had hired a lawyer for the girl.
The lawyer was famously known in the industry as “Defendant’s Hell.”
—Even if a suspect could exploit legal loopholes to avoid conviction, he could gather evidence to ensure they received at least ten years in prison.
This time, Chen Xinyi was finished.
During the program’s break, the live stream was paused.
Outside Qin Wanyin’s detached villa, Liu Yiyi kept knocking on the front door.
“Sister Wanyin, can you forgive me?”
Qi Heng came looking for her for lunch. “Yiyi, what are you doing here? It’s time to eat.”
Liu Yiyi cried pitifully. “I came to apologize to Sister Wanyin, but she doesn’t seem willing to see me.”
“You can’t blame yourself for what happened with Wei Guang.”
“It’s not about that… It’s about your marriage.”
Her eyes were red and swollen.
“Ah Heng, I never meant to come between you and Sister Wanyin. I’ve always thought of you as my best buddy, but Sister Wanyin seems to have misunderstood me. I wanted to apologize to her, but she won’t even give me the chance.”
As she spoke, she glanced at the tightly shut door and sighed.
Only then did Qi Heng notice the bruises and even bleeding on the back of her hand.
“How long have you been knocking here?”
“Since the program ended.”
Qi Heng’s expression darkened. “She’s been listening to the knocking all this time and still won’t come out?”
He took Liu Yiyi’s hand. “Stop knocking. Let’s go.”
As they turned to leave, they saw several children standing behind them.
The little girl at the front, with pigtails, looked puzzled and asked, “Why are you knocking when there’s a doorbell? This house is soundproof—you can’t hear knocking from inside!”
Qi Heng followed their pointing fingers and looked.
Sure enough, there was a bright red doorbell button.
“…”
The children looked disdainful. “Shame on you! Uncle and Auntie, you’re so silly! There was a brother earlier who was really smart—he knew to ring the doorbell! The sister opened the door for him, and they haven’t come out since!”
Uncle and Auntie?
Qi Heng wanted to correct the children, but then he heard the second half of the sentence.
—A brother went in and hasn’t come out?
