CHAPTER 743: CHAPTER 743: KILL WITHOUT MERCY (5)

Green had a thick skin and plenty of excuses, and although Su Yanyi was somewhat disgusted, she didn’t refuse him. After all, safety is indeed very important. After work, she took Green back to the Su family’s home.

During this time, however, something happened that Su Yanyi didn’t know about. In the underground parking lot, right as she and Green got into the car together, someone secretly took a photo of them!

With cell phones being ubiquitous these days, it’s not even safe at home, let alone outside. So, having a photo taken discreetly wasn’t really a big deal, especially considering there weren’t only Su Yanyi’s group in the parking lot. There were other company employees and celebrities coming and going. Who knows what anyone with a cell phone was actually doing? Otherwise, the Dark One team members wouldn’t have missed it.

And who knows what the internal staff member who took the photo was thinking? They actually spread the photo around after taking it. However, this insider wasn’t stupid, just posted it in their own social circle as if they were gossiping about the incident.

[Look at this photo, look what I’ve found. The rival appears when Best Actor Qin is not around!]

[I saw this person today, wandering around the company for a while, really had the air of patrolling their own territory. Vice President He personally accompanied him.]

[Isn’t this the rumored fiancé of President Su? There were rumors not long ago about meeting the parents, a typical upper-class gentleman. Apparently, one of his ex-girlfriends was a princess of a certain country. Tsk tsk, could this really be him setting his sights on our Queen?]

[That’s not necessarily the case. Our Queen’s allure is limitless. It’s very likely for her to be entangled with a playboy. I just wonder if Best Actor Qin knows about this.]

[They took the same car after work? Guess where they were going? They couldn’t really be heading out on a date...]

[Cough cough, low-key, don’t talk nonsense. I’m just secretly showing you all this, do not pass it on. If this causes trouble, we won’t be able to handle it.]

How does that saying go again? A secret known by one person is a real secret. A secret known by two can at any moment become a not-so-secret secret, and a secret known by three is no longer a secret.

So, a photo seen by six or seven people at the same time really couldn’t remain a secret. Before Su Yanyi even arrived home, the photo had already spread online, and initially, it burst out on two unauthenticated Weibo accounts. These two bloggers didn’t have many followers or fans, and the number of posts was pitifully small, making them seem like alternate accounts.

However, these two small accounts with pitiful fan counts saw an explosive increase in followers in a very short time. This was because both Weibo accounts posted the same photo almost simultaneously. The photo showed Su Yanyi and Green getting into the car at the same time, and although it didn’t look intimate, the action of getting into the same car was enough to spark wild speculation.

Then, fans who saw this photo started to @Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran’s Weibo accounts en masse, leaving comments.

[Queen, what are you up to? Best Actor will go blind with tears if he sees this!]

[The photo is shopped, right? It can’t be true. Her Majesty the Queen only loves Lord Best Actor, she would never be with a playboy!]

[Where was this photo taken? Was it shot today? The Queen returned to the company, could it be that the playboy followed her?]

[Lord Best Actor, where are you? Hurry home and check it out, the rival has appeared!]

[Her Majesty the Queen, please don’t abandon our Lord Best Actor. His love for you is true, and think about adorable Little Meatball Brother and Younger Sister Glutinous Rice Ball!]

[I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! I absolutely refuse to believe this is true!]

[Weren’t these two said to be business partners? They must be discussing business matters. You all need to stop overreacting. Stay calm! Don’t lose face as Overbearing Family fans!]

[Supporting the comment above! The Queen and Best Actor are true love, unbreakable! The playboy is just a business associate, the rest can step aside!]

[Supporting the Overbearing Family, always one family, everything else, step aside!]

The power of netizens and fans is truly formidable. The two small accounts instantly became the focus of attention. Although the majority of reactions were supportive, there were occasional challenges that made the photo instantly attract the gaze of countless people.

And as Su Yanyi’s car slowly entered the gates of the Su Family Mansion, she also received the news. Somewhat speechlessly, she opened Weibo and saw countless @mentions popping up, which made her feel compelled to respond very authoritatively, "Whoever dares to spread rumors, will be shown no mercy!"

As soon as the Queen’s authoritative statement was released, it immediately triggered screams from countless fans, followed by overwhelmingly supportive comments. While there were still occasional doubts, these were only from the smallest of small alternate accounts. Not a single one with any real fame or official verification dared to appear, showing just how lethal the Queen’s wrath could be.
