Chapter 145: Collusion
“Oh no!” The stillness was suddenly broken by a cry. Ah Bi anxiously held her phone and ran over to pull Ah Yu. “Why is Young Madam on the news?”
Ah Yu took the phone and saw that it was a breaking news article. It was about a vicious kidnapping case that had happened in the city previously. The report pointed out that the kidnappers had kidnapped a wealthy lady and the daughter of an entrepreneur in the city, although the report did not specify the names of Qin Yu and Shi Xiao, other new media articles directly pointed out the identities and names of the two people. They even included a photo of Qin Yu.
In the picture, Qin Yu was wearing a woolen coat and leaning against Ning Chen. Ning Chen only revealed his back, but most of Qin Yu’s side of the face was exposed. Her beautiful face was particularly eye-catching.
It was not known whether someone was secretly adding fuel to the fire, or whether Qin Yu’s super good looks had aroused the interest of the netizens. Not long after, Qin Yu’s information was dug out.
The adopted daughter of the Shi family had married into a wealthy family, but she was a fool.
Ordinary people always had the interest of prying into the private affairs of such a wealthy family, so many people began to discuss enthusiastically — how could the influential Ning family of M City marry such a fool?
For a time, there were many discussions. As an ordinary person, Qin Yu’s name was instantly remembered by hundreds of millions of netizens.
At this moment, in a luxuriously decorated room, Bai Ting looked at the photo of Qin Yu in the news article and sneered, “Idiot, now the whole country knows that you are a fool. I want to see how you can continue staying in the Ning family!”
According to Bai Ting’s arrangement, the marketing armies would immediately start to fabricate rumors, saying that after Qin Yu was kidnapped by the kidnappers, she had been subjected to inhumane treatment and that she had become even more mentally unstable after returning.
What inhumane treatment? Such an ambiguous hint allowed people to let their imaginations run wild.
“What should we do!” Ah Bi was extremely anxious. She wished that she could sew up the mouths of those people who made up the rumors, she gnashed her teeth and said hatefully, “It must be the cousin. How could outsiders take these photos? She must have arranged for someone to secretly take them!”
Ah Yu’s was relatively calmer. She reached out and patted Ah Bi’s shoulder and said in a deep voice, “Don’t let young madam know about this.”
After a pause, Ah Yu thought that with Qin Yu’s intelligence, she might not be able to understand how such rumors would affect the Ning family. She sighed helplessly and continued, “Young Master will have someone deal with it.”
The young mistress had suffered a lot when she was in the Shi family because she was a fool. Now that she was in the Ning family, there were still people who bullied her because she was mentally inept.
Ah Yu secretly clenched her fists.
She really hoped that Young Master would teach those malicious people a lesson.
In the room upstairs, Qin Yu was lying on the bed. Her slender, white knuckles were sliding on the tablet as she browsed through the news related to her.
Hehe, Bai Ting really put in a lot of effort this time.
Not only did she secretly take pictures of her, but she also found a reporter from a big news agency to make the news of her kidnapping a big deal.
It seemed that the commotion was about to die down.
Qin Yu sent a message to Ah Nan, [Carry out the plan.]
Ah Nan quickly replied, [Got it!]
Nan Yuan had been the editor-in-chief of the news center back in college, so she was very familiar with manipulating public opinion.
Qin Yu also had countless media resources in her hands. Now, it was time to put them to use.
Under Ah Nan’s arrangements, a new piece of breaking news soon appeared on the hot search list — “The deputy director of M City’s public security bureau has been arrested.”.
The country was now at the peak of the storm to sweep away evil. The public was very sensitive to the news of corrupt officials. Once this piece of news appeared on the list, the number of views quickly increased. In less than two hours, it had already reached hundreds of millions of views.
It had been many days since Du Ming had fallen into Ning Chen’s hands. Although Qin Yu had not asked about Du Ming, it seemed that Du Ming had not given any useful information.
Although Qin Yu and Ning Chen were sure that there must be someone behind Du Ming who had secretly manipulated him, they had no way of knowing who those people were.
Du Ming could not be locked up in prison by Ning Chen forever. He was also the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau and held a prominent position. If he went missing for a long time, it would definitely attract unwanted attention.
Therefore, it was better to take advantage of the opportunity that Bai Ting helped Qin Yu to blow up the matter and let Du Ming shine one last time.
Under the friendly reminder cybertroopers and netizens arranged by Ah Nan, someone soon discovered that Du Ming’s last location before the incident and the place where Qin Yu was kidnapped and rescued were actually the same place!
Could it be that Du Ming actually colluded with the kidnappers secretly?
