Because I was afraid Xia Chuyi would be upset by the rumors, I heard Ou Jun say to his sister, "I’ll send someone to the Police Station immediately to inquire about the situation." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Once there’s any progress, I’ll ask them to help clear the rumors."

"As for those college students, I’ll get in touch with them too."

At this point, Ou Jun’s gaze became slightly cold, saying, "Spreading rumors and slander carries legal responsibilities."

Seeing her big brother so angry, Xia Chuyi felt quite guilty.

Xia Chuyi had no intention of telling her family about using Mother Xia as bait.

Otherwise, they would definitely blame her while feeling distressed—blame her for not caring about her reputation and not cherishing herself.

Therefore, Xia Chuyi nodded slightly and said to Ou Jun, "Thank you, Big Brother."

"But... Dad, Big Brother," Xia Chuyi continued, "I actually feel like you don’t need to worry too much about this matter."

"Rumors are stopped by the wise," Xia Chuyi said, "Rumors like ’matricide,’ as long as the truth comes to light, will naturally dissipate."

"So, Dad, Big Brother, you don’t need to worry too much, just let things happen naturally," Xia Chuyi said calmly.

To her surprise, upon hearing Xia Chuyi say this, Ou ZhenTing immediately retorted, "How can that be?"

"You’re my daughter, I don’t want you to suffer even a little grievance!" Ou ZhenTing said sternly, "Junjun, hurry to the Police Station and ask what’s going on there?"

"Why have they still not found the real culprit?" Ou ZhenTing was very dissatisfied with the efficiency of the Police Station.

"Okay, I’ll go right away." Ou Jun replied sternly.

After Ou Jun left, Ou ZhenTing said to Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi, I still have to discuss this matter with the in-laws. For now, don’t go out, so you don’t hear any gossip."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi smiled slightly and said, "Dad, actually there’s no need to hide like this, because the more I hide, the more outsiders might think I’m guilty."

"Moreover, I already got tickets from the director to watch a movie," Xia Chuyi said, "Because of this incident, I’ve already rescheduled once with the director."

"If I reschedule again..." Xia Chuyi said, "There might be even more rumors outside."

Upon hearing this, Ou ZhenTing paused for a moment and said, "You have a point."

"So let’s do it this way," Ou ZhenTing said with a frown, "When the time comes, bring more bodyguards and try not to interact with outsiders... no, try not to interact with them at all."

"And besides such outings, avoid other engagements as much as possible," Ou ZhenTing advised his daughter.

Upon hearing Ou ZhenTing’s words, Xia Chuyi agreed, "Okay, I will."

She then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Chuyi had a feeling that the person behind Xia Lianlian was about to reveal themselves.

At this time, if Xia Chuyi stayed hidden at home, she might never find out who the person is.

But it’s clear that the other party never intends to let Xia Chuyi go.

So, if this attempt fails, there will definitely be a next one.

If she keeps hiding, Xia Chuyi will never know where the next trap is.

It’s better to take the initiative and lure the enemy out.

Moreover, from everything that’s happened, it seems the other party doesn’t intend to cause any danger to Xia Chuyi’s life, only to ruin her reputation.
