After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 481 - 476: Slandering Academic Credentials

Everyone finally realized from the exchange between Shen Yan and Mu Jincheng that Shen Yan didn’t like Mu Jincheng.

Though Mu Jincheng looked terribly upset, he didn’t say anything excessive to Shen Yan, but awkwardly backed off.

Others didn’t notice, but Chu Jinghe did.

Mu Jincheng was afraid of the man by Shen Yan’s side!

Even though that man hadn’t said a word, his presence was so imposing that it stopped Mu Jincheng from uttering a single sound.

Chu Jinghe watched the man thoughtfully, unable to remember where she had heard of him in her past life.

She knew her trajectory in her previous life had deviated, but she hadn’t expected it to be to this extent.

In her memories, there was no such man.

Yet, she vaguely felt that she had known him in her previous life—where had things gone wrong?

Shen Yan, who was speaking with Qi Si, suddenly looked sharply in a direction, a moment of keen gaze that Qi Si didn’t miss.

He followed her gaze to see only emptiness.

"What’s wrong?"

Shen Yan slightly furrowed her brows and turned her gaze back, shaking her head with a heavy heart.

There it was again.

That feeling.

Was someone really invisibly spying on her?

Shen Yan laughed at her own thought.

It was just an illusion after all, but her reaction caused Qi Si’s heart to pound.

Thinking of something, his face changed and he suddenly grabbed Shen Yan’s hand.

Shen Yan was taken aback and smiled, "I’m fine."

But Qi Si quietly stared at her, as if she might disappear from in front of him the next second.

Seeing such a look in Qi Si’s eyes, Shen Yan reassured him again, "I really am fine, maybe just a bit tired."

"Rest well after we finish recording this," if she wished, he would rather she stayed in school or at home, he could afford to support her.

But Shen Yan shook her head, "After this, I need to rush to another venue."

Qi Si frowned upon hearing this, "That urgent?"

"I want to move forward quickly..." Shen Yan paused, "just keep moving forward."

"There’s no need to push yourself so hard, I can give you whatever you want." He could throw money at it, even if she wanted to become an international Actress, he could quickly elevate her to that status.

Shen Yan felt a bit helpless yet warmed by his words, "That’s not what I’m aiming for...it’s just a pure passion."

As long as the soul sickness could be eradicated, slow progress was okay.

Shen Yan once again searched the surroundings for any anomalies.

The previous feeling also appeared only when Mu Jincheng or Chu Jinghe were present, so she now came to a conclusion.

That spying gaze was connected to these two.

She observed that the man who had been with Mu Jincheng during the audition had not appeared again.

Qi Si’s people acted swiftly, visiting labs where the Shancheng Shen Family had stayed. Although they had always been conducting research, sometimes they couldn’t help but overstep their bounds.

Though the contributions of the Shancheng Shen Family were genuine, their transgressions were also real, and those above had to take them back for further questioning.

The Shen Family members who had participated in lab research were thus taken away disheartenedly.

Shen Feng watched his family being led onto the vehicle and taken away, clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and made calls to his contacts.

Shen Feng’s brows furrowed even more tightly after confirming that he had found some clues.

He had made this call less than half an hour ago when Wenhong, who was overseas, called him and began with a stern query, "Xiao Feng, are you investigating our research base?"

Shen Feng’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down, "Dad, I just want to understand the whole situation so I can help mom..."

"Don’t investigate this matter any further," Wenhong’s tone grew serious, "Xiao Feng, our research base isn’t as accessible as you think, don’t touch the bottom line here."

"Dad, what exactly are you hiding from me?"

"We aren’t hiding anything from you. Research has always been confidential. Directly spying on someone else’s secrets, no matter who you are, will definitely put you on someone’s radar. Xiao Feng, listen to me, don’t investigate any further. I’m already finding a way to help your mother. The lab won’t ignore your mother’s situation; she has many things the lab wants. Even if it costs them their lives, they will rescue your mother." Wenhong didn’t want Shen Feng meddling in this matter.

Intuition told Shen Feng that there was definitely something behind this.

"Dad, what is our feud with Shen Yan really about, why must we pursue her relentlessly?"

"Your mother has already told you. You were there at the time; she destroyed the samples we worked so hard to bring into the country. It’s not us chasing her, she provokes us at every turn. She wants to ruin the Shen family, so, no matter what this woman has told you, don’t believe her." Wenhong slightly regretted protecting his children too well, making them too naive to believe others.

But Shen Feng felt that things were not so simple.

He wanted to argue something, but Wenhong spoke his last piece and hung up the phone.

Wenhong was going to return to the country with the team.

And concerning what happened at the research institute, Shen Feng was still being kept in the dark.

He now focused all of his attention on investigating the case concerning Jian Yu; the research institute hadn’t leaked a whisper either.

Even He Group Leader and the others didn’t know how to talk to Shen Feng about it, and they were somewhat worried.

Worried whether Shen Feng was also involved in this matter.

The trending topic about Shen Yan was swept away completely, and netizens and critics gradually realized something was amiss.

They could understand removing one trending search, but eliminating this popular topic entirely seemed problematic.

"Controlled by capital, I guess, official accounts keep defending Shen Yan. Any topic that is unfavorable about Shen Yan is thoroughly removed—it’s too obvious."

"Now everyone should believe that Shen Yan has a powerful financial backer controlling things behind the scenes."

"The issue about her education was true after all, she still wants to cover it up? Truth is truth, unchanged. Likewise, falsehood cannot become truth. Shen Yan’s PR work is too thorough, which indicates a big problem."

"Check behind her maybe she’s still doing tax evasion or worse, after all, with only elementary school diploma, she wouldn’t even know how many taxes she ought to pay."

These people were wilfully blind, overlooking the hot search about Shen Yan being currently enrolled in a university.

"I’ve found out about several recently; it’s indeed necessary to investigate this Shen Yan."

"Wait and see, our comments will soon be cleaned up. The Fake Princess without an education is very vindictive."

"Now I seriously doubt if the degree from the university she’s attending was bought. I heard from the school that she’s only there one day a month; isn’t that just having a name on the record?"

The internet was full of sarcastically tarnishing Shen Yan’s academic integrity.

Shen Yan lay in bed browsing on her phone and came across these comments.

After Qi Si finished washing up and saw her frowning at her phone, he glanced over and furrowed his eyebrows as well, taking her phone away, "Stop looking, let Xinyu’s PR handle it."

"Okay."

"Don’t mind what these people are saying."

Qi Si stroked her hair, softly comforting.

Shen Yan said, "I’m not bothered, what artist isn’t criticized? I’m used to it already."

"Used to it or not, we shouldn’t let them get away with it, handle what needs to be handled; if it’s serious, send them to jail, no need for mercy."

"I know," Shen Yan smiled and nestled into his chest, "Mr. Qi has done enough for me, let’s not deal with it for now. I’ll use facts to dispel these false accusations."

Qi Si removed the towel, leaned down, and kissed her forehead; "Don’t be too lenient with them."

Shen Yan smiled and nodded.

The next moment, their lips met, and the room’s temperature gradually rose...
