The Jiang City police acted with great speed. Just one day after receiving the report, they issued a notification, clarifying what needed clarification and filing what needed to be filed.

Using swift measures, they decisively clamped down on this online fraud case. This not only curbed the trend of the incident worsening and prevented more people from being scammed but was also a good thing for Su Qing.

Even though he wasn’t the one responsible, if things got too far, it wouldn’t be good for him. Someone might even grab this as leverage to tarnish his reputation.

If he were just an internet celebrity, that wouldn’t be a big deal. After all, the current internet culture is like that—when one idea goes viral, many rush to imitate it, copying from each other. If not, it’s internet celebrities tearing each other apart.

There are cases where bosses are exposed for sexual harassment, and various influencers take sides. Some provoke gender conflicts, attacking each other. There are even gaming streamers accusing each other of cheating with solid evidence, proving their innocence offline. In essence, it’s a way to gain traffic, which has become all too common.

But he’s not just an internet celebrity; he’s also a criminal investigation consultant for the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau. Jiang City police’s official account had long acknowledged this.

Many netizens also know about this aspect of him. Once any negative news about him emerges, it reflects badly on the Jiang City police, which is why Zhao and others took this matter seriously.

"You’ve stirred up quite a storm, Officer Su," Shen Yi asked with a smile, leisurely looking at the news online while sitting in the boss’s chair.

With the case reaching this stage, it’s practically resolved. Although those impersonating him to scam people surely weren’t just a few, those were in other cities or provinces. Even if they wanted to handle it, it would be beyond reach, so Lin Chengcai and others urged him to quickly issue a clarification to prevent deception since he’s the source.

As for the subsequent impacts, they can only be dispelled gradually over time, like Zhang Chao and his wife arguing, which might even expedite their divorce. Narratives aside, he remains unaware, and even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t care.

Because he’s inherently an uncertain factor, anything related to him is bound to change.

If it doesn’t affect him, he’d naturally return to normal life, having meals and going to work as usual.

So today, he resumed his role as Secretary Su, acting as a driver, taking Boss Shen to the company.

Nowadays, since he’s made money, Shen Yi doesn’t even discuss salary, making it feel like working for free.

Of course, he doesn’t care about that salary. After all, demanding a salary for taking his girlfriend to work seems unreasonable.

Fortunately, Shen Yi is well-off; otherwise, he’d think this woman didn’t intend to pay when finding a boyfriend.

"Good thing it was discovered on time. Seems like I need to be more cautious in the future," Su Qing said with a smile while drinking water.

Ever since the stock market started to decline, he stopped looking at it, planning to lay low. Therefore, all the money in his hands, apart from the 150 million he promised Wen Jingqi, is with him, allowing him to relax.

Usually, in his office, he’s either busy organizing materials, editing videos, or watching stock market changes. Rarely does he have such leisurely moments.

"Even though it was discovered timely, one of your classmates was involved. How do you plan to handle this?" Shen Yi asked, propping her chin.

"How else to handle it? They didn’t scam me. Such matters should be negotiated between them and the scammed. What can I do? Let him out?"

Su Qing shrugged, indifferent. Their relationship wasn’t good to begin with, so why pretend to care?

Honestly, he even felt a little happy seeing Yang Zhiming end up this way.

"So, you’re planning to sever ties with your high school friends? Although it’s not your fault, since you brought people along, who knows how your classmates will secretly judge you," Shen Yi shook her head and sighed.

Upon learning the details, she immediately thought of the subsequent impact.

If it weren’t for last month’s wedding gathering, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Now everyone knows you’ve made it, and the first step involves sacrificing a classmate. Despite Yang Zhiming’s actions bringing it upon himself, people have inherent instincts to avoid harm and seek gain. Knowing this, they’ll instinctively keep their distance from Su Qing, and relationships will gradually become estranged.

"Let them comment. Those with good relations won’t drift away because of this; those with average relations can become estranged. No need to fuss, and those with poor relations would dislike me even without this incident."

He had thought this through long ago. Like Wang Xing, Qiang, and Xigou, when this matter surfaced, they called him to inquire. After the official Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau account issued a notice last night, they called again to check if he was okay. These are the people he wants to maintain relations with, no need to fret over the opinions of unimportant people.

"Right, that’s reasonable. It’s good to see it this way. By the way, why haven’t you been trading stocks lately? Xiao Tang called a few times, saying she wants to introduce you to a few female celebrities, as long as you teach them stock trading!" Shen Yi teased, looking at him.

That’s Shen Yi for you. Despite her possessiveness, she’s outwardly very generous, especially with these two business partners. If you didn’t know, you’d think the three of them are sharing a boyfriend.

Hearing this, Su Qing rolled his eyes at her: "Then tell her two aren’t enough, at least ten!"

"Sure, I’ll find a time to tell her!" Shen Yi laughed.

As he knew Shen Yi was teasing, Shen Yi also knew he didn’t take it seriously. In the past, that might have been the case, but since the stock market surge, he would definitely inform them of any money-making opportunities. After all, people believe him now. The recent lack of discussions had to be due to the poor stock market situation.

Their interaction is easygoing. They rarely take jokes seriously, and Shen Yi is long past the age of a little girl, understanding how to get along with her younger brother.

As long as it’s not a principled mistake, other things don’t really matter.

At noon, with Shen Yi having a leadership meeting, Su Qing naturally ran outside, found the company’s "Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix" duo, and ordered take-out together.

Even though he’s earning now, he’s retained young people’s consumption habits. He’s involved in huge projects worth billions but will seize discounts of a few bucks. Money—save where you can, spend where you should.

"No way, my dear Stock God, you’re someone making big money, yet you’re still ordering take-out with us? And even if it’s take-out, you’re treating us to braised chicken? Isn’t that a bit stingy?" The social media fiend looked incredulous.

As someone who loves gossip, there’s no way she wouldn’t know about such a big event involving someone she knows.

Su Qing became the ’Stock God’ and had someone impersonate him to scam money. These past two days, she did nothing else but read gossip online.

She was surprised to see Su Qing at the company today, having had no chance to talk earlier. Finally, when noon came, and she saw him in person, she was hoping for a good meal. But he handed her just braised chicken; how could she bear it?

"Just eat, beggars can’t be choosers!"

"You..."

"What do you mean, you? I didn’t even treat others. Oh, right, where’s Miaomiao? Haven’t seen her around?"

He came out at noon, originally planning to order take-out for three, but only found Sun Mumu, so they split the order between the two of them.

"Miaomiao!! How can you even ask... Forget it, you haven’t been to the company for over a month, so it’s normal not to know."

Hearing this, Su Qing was puzzled: "Wait a minute, don’t tell me Miaomiao quit?"

"Not really," just then, two figures entered as the office door opened, and one of them was Lin Miaomiao. But the other person was quite unexpected for him.

"Old A?"

"Grandpa’s here!"

Su Qing: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
