Chapter 10: This Is Not Shi Ran’s Handwriting
A netizen on Weibo had posted the complete surveillance video online.
It showed what had happened within a total of half an hour, from Shi Ran’s appearance at the Shi family’s door to when she left.
[This indeed is a reversal of the situation!]
[Was today’s hot search dominated by Shi Ran and Shi Wenfei?]
[This security guard is so disgusting. She was being merciful to only kick him.]
[Am I the only one who thinks Shi Ran’s kick is very cool? Cool sister, please give me a chance.]
[I was wondering why there was a pile of clothes at the door. It turns out that the Shi family threw the clothes at the door.]
[To be honest, I think Shi Ran really is innocent. She didn’t have the right to make any decisions since she was adopted. Plus, all the love and care were suddenly taken away from her when the biological daughter returned so I can understand how she feels.]
[Why are you still in love with this woman? Do you need me to remind you of the dirt on Shi Ran?]
[No matter what the truth of the matter is, the previous video was maliciously edited. It’s obvious that its purpose was to defame Shi Ran.]
[The person who edited the video wasn’t arranged by Shi Wenfei, was he?]
Shi Ran stretched her back.
She had been busy on her computer since she got up in the morning.
After returning last night, she had hacked into the Shi family’s security system and obtained the complete surveillance video.
Initially, it was just for precautionary measures as she did not expect the Shi family to really make an issue out of it.
She picked up the glass of water from the table, got up, and headed for the kitchen.
She now lived in an apartment of about eighty square feet.
Her grandfather had given it to her on her twelfth birthday.
The original owner had never lived here, and the Shi couple did not know about it.
Shi Ran returned to the study after pouring herself some water.
Shi Wenfei’s side had also responded.
It was nothing more than salvaging herself and putting the blame on her anti-fans.
Shi Wenfei’s fans were also well-trained and began to set the pace.
Shi Ran scanned it twice, her lips curling in disdain. “Stupid.”
Then, the Penguin symbol in the lower right-hand corner blinked a few times.
The notification was from Shi Ran’s newly registered account.
[Disco Player]: Brother, I’ve already clarified it according to what you said. Can you delete that document NOW?
This person was the man who had been bribed to frame Shi Ran on Weibo.
At that time, Shi Ran had hacked into the other party’s computer and obtained a document.
It was a video of a man raping various girls. There were as many as fifty of these videos.
Shi Ran sneered and blocked the other party.
Then she opened her email and sent the document, along with all the information about the man, to the police anonymously.
There’s a price to pay for breaking the law.

KT Group President’s Office
“This is big news!” Qiu Yaohang barged into Chu Jinchen’s office excitedly.
Chu Jinchen looked up from the document with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his handsome face.
The top button of his white shirt was undone, revealing his collarbone.
The smile on his face widened. “Star City Entertainment closed down?”
Qiu Yaohang was speechless.
If he wanted to roast him for slacking off, he could have just said so but why did he have to say that his company had collapsed!
Vicious tongue!
Qiu Yaohang pulled out the chair opposite Chu Jinchen and sat down.
“I’m telling you, this morning was spectacular. I’ve learned what it means to fight using the Internet.”
Chu Jinchen closed the document and raised his eyebrows.
Even a simple action like this added to his charm.
Even Qiu Yaohang, who had known Chu Jinchen for many years, found it difficult to resist this face.
“Ahem.” Qiu Yaohang coughed and looked away slightly.
After that, he vividly recounted the battle between Shi Ran and Shi Wenfei on Weibo in the morning.
He then added at the end, “I never expected Shi Ran to make such a move. No, I should say so many moves. It’s amazing!.”
Chu Jinchen tapped his slender index finger on the table, eyes filled with interest.
“However this is very strange. From the beginning to the end, the only thing Shi Ran did was announcing that she had called the police.”
The parts where the man changed his statement, followed by the agent getting arrested due to the vocal cords forensics analysis and the revelation of the surveillance camera footage were all not done by her personally. However, it would be too much of a coincidence to call it a coincidence.”
As Qiu Yaohang spoke, he looked at Chu Jinchen. “Didn’t you get someone to check on Shi Ran? How is it?”
Chu Jinchen took out a document from the stack of documents beside him and threw it in front of Qiu Yaohang.
Qiu Yaohang flipped through it curiously.
The content of the information was simple. In a few minutes, Qiu Yaohang closed the document.
“How strange.”
That was Qiu Yaohang’s first thought after reading it.
“How does someone that stupid suddenly get smart? And she’s rising so fast. I think it has to do with the hacker hiding behind her.”
“Those coincidences everyone assumed were also presumably the work of that hacker.”
“One thing puzzles me, though. Why didn’t they just release the video and instead asked for eight million?”
“Mind you, that video explains things a lot easier than navigating through this fiasco.”
Chu Jinchen supported his chin and waited for Qiu Yaohang to finish before slowly saying, “How much is the termination fee for Shi Ran?”
“Eight million…” Then Qiu Yaohang was enlightened. “You mean she did it to terminate the contract?!”
Now it all made sense.
He was just wondering why Shi Ran didn’t release the video directly. It turned out that they were planning to use the eight million to terminate the contract with Zhou Yufan’s company.
“Then isn’t Zhou Yufan just taking money out of his left pocket to put into his right pocket?” Qiu Yaohang gloated.
But soon he had other ideas.
“Why don’t I poach Shi Ran over? Shi Ran’s face and figure are born for this. If she hadn’t been stupid in her early years, she might be even more popular than that person in your family now.”
As he spoke, Qiu Yaohang winked at Chu Jinchen teasingly.
“Oh?” Chu Jinchen met Qiu Yaohang’s gaze and smirked.
Qiu Yaohang trembled and admitted defeat. “I was joking. I was joking.”
“You can try.” Chu Jinchen twirled the black fountain pen in his hand.
The black fountain pen made his well-defined knuckles look as white as jade.
Qiu Yaohang’s reaction was three beats slower. “You mean we can try poaching Shi Ran?”
“Yes,” Chu Jinchen replied patiently.
“Hehe.” Qiu Yaohang smiled slyly, his gaze landing on the mark on Chu Jinchen’s neck. “When the time comes, Yufei and Shi Ran will be in the same company, new love and old love…”
“Looks like Star City is going to close down.” Chu Jinchen leaned back in his chair and smiled contentedly.
“Don’t! I’m just joking.” Qiu Yaohang immediately begged for mercy.
At that moment, the special assistant knocked and entered, carrying a white gift bag.
“Third Master, a young lady handed this to the front desk and said it was your outfit. I confirmed that it was one of the three casual outfits Ottavio had custom-made for you.”
Upon hearing the word Ottavio, Qiu Yaohang immediately thought of the shirt Shi Ran had been wearing during the live interview.
He was extremely curious, but he did not dare to act rashly in front of Chu Jinchen.
He could only watch as Chu Jinchen slowly took the gift bag.
Then he took out a white card.
Qiu Yaohang immediately looked over and saw the words “Thank you” written in black on the white card.
The strokes were bold and powerful, making the words look majestic.
“Did Shi Ran send this over? I didn’t expect her to write so well,” Qiu Yaohang praised.
Unexpectedly, Chu Jinchen casually put the card aside and said in a deep voice, “This isn’t Shi Ran’s handwriting.”
