A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 227: Dirt
At that moment, Jiang Qin’s fan group was in an uproar.
"Damn it, if that guy dares to lay a finger on Qin Bao, I’ll put a bounty on him on the Dark Web!"
Wen Jiaqi was relatively calm. "Everyone, don’t panic yet. Our group’s site master, Miss Beta, is following right behind Qin Bao today.
I’ll message her in a bit and tell her to keep an eye out. If that male really has any filthy intentions, I’ll have her step in and stop it immediately."
"This is so upsetting. Qin Bao is in the Empire right now. If she gets bullied, there’s no one there to back her up."
Soon, a new message popped up in the group.
The person who spoke had the screen name "Paparazzi Reporter."
He was one of the earliest Jiang Fans, extremely active, and had never missed a group event. Plus, he had some special channels for information.
When Jiang Qin was abducted, he had received the news in less than five minutes. He immediately contacted Wen Jiaqi and mobilized the fans in the group to pool their money and hire Bounty Hunters to rescue her.
This time, he lived up to his name again, getting information on Yuan Ling in just two short minutes.
"I found it. Yuan Ling is a student at the Imperial Military Academy. He showed extraordinary talent as a Mecha Master from a young age.
Whether in piloting, designing, or building Mechas, he was considered a peerless genius.
The Empire’s Star Sea series of Mechas, launched five years ago, was single-handedly completed by him alone.
As soon as this series was released, the Imperial military immediately switched over to these Mechas.
Logically, he should have been directly recruited into the military and judged based on merit.
However, the reality is that he can’t even graduate now. The military academy actually advised him to withdraw." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Paparazzi Reporter continued, "As for the reason, the Imperial Royal Family stepped in to suppress it. So right now, you can’t find anything about that incident on either the official Imperial or Federation websites.
I had to use my connections to find out. Apparently, when the Star Sea series came out, he was suspected of plagiarism.
The person who accused him of plagiarism was his own teacher.
But because he only plagiarized his teacher’s creative concept and not the complete data, his teacher didn’t press charges and simply disowned him as a student.
Because of this, Yuan Ling was practically canceled by everyone online. But with the Imperial military backing him, all that negative press quickly disappeared.
But not long after, he was sued by his junior female apprentice.
The charge was attempted sexual assault of a female..."
"Then the Law Enforcement Team searched his home and found a network drive. It contained a huge number of secretly taken photos of females. The camera used was a device he built himself when he was ten..."
"Later, the military stepped in again. They negotiated a large compensation package for his junior, which is how Yuan Ling avoided prison.
But he had used up all the goodwill he had with the military. After that, Yuan Ling disappeared from the public eye.
I can’t believe he just showed up on a variety show without a word."
"Oh my god, why would the production team invite someone like that for a variety show?"
Paparazzi Reporter said, "According to the grapevine, the main investor of the show is related to Yuan Ling.
The goal is probably to find him a female master. After all, his reputation in the Empire is so bad that it’s basically impossible for him to have a normal relationship...
And he’s the type of person who’s been secretly taking pictures of females since he was a teenager..."
’So, to sum it up: he’s a sex-starved fiend?’
This conclusion made the faces of all the Jiang Fans on the video call turn pale. They rushed to tag Beta in the group chat:
[Ahhh, Beta, stop taking pictures! Rush up there and separate them!!]
[You have to protect Qin Bao! Those Imperial people are completely unreasonable.]
[Group leader, hurry and contact Qin Bao’s assistant! Ask how much the contract termination fee is. We’ll all chip in and pay it for Qin Bao.
She can’t film this show anymore. I can’t accept Qin Bao dating someone like him.]
[I can’t accept it either. I wonder if Qin Bao’s partners know about this yet. Should we let them know?]
Wen Jiaqi spoke up, "Don’t panic. I’ll go and try to communicate with them. For now, you all keep a close watch on the live stream.
Those who are able to can use the upcoming Mecha competition as a reason to go to the Empire’s Immortal City and wait there."
Paparazzi Reporter added, "Don’t worry, I’m already in Immortal City. I’ll find a way to get to Neptune soon to protect Qin Bao."
[Our group leader and admins are so reliable!!]
[Giving you guys a thumbs up! I’m so useless, all I can do is worry from here in the Federation.]
Wen Jiaqi comforted them, "Don’t say that. Everyone’s support for Qin Bao is plain to see.
No one is useless. We all just have our own roles to play."

The live stream’s screen was flooded with vicious curses.
The moderator helplessly asked the director what to do.
If it were just one or two people, he would have banned them. The problem was, there were over a million of them. If he dared to start banning them, he’d be out of a job by tomorrow.
It wouldn’t just be his job. The whole company would probably go under.
You have to understand, public opinion can topple a commercial empire, let alone a single company.
The director, fuming with irritation, snapped, "What else can we do? We’ll have to throw money at it and hire an online army to control the comments."
"And... what if we can’t control them?"
"If we can’t control it, then just leave it. Let them curse all they want."
’If only it weren’t for the contract, I’d find an excuse to kick this troublemaker off the show.’
But he couldn’t. The person who had insisted on Yuan Ling participating in the show was someone he couldn’t afford to offend, so he had no choice but to abide by the contract.

「In the Federation.」
Even though Lan Yuyan was busy, he was still keeping an eye on Jiang Qin’s live stream, so of course, he saw the bullet comments right away.
He frowned. Although he didn’t think Yuan Ling was as monstrous as the comments made him out to be, he still started to worry.
Knowing that Jiang Qin and Yun Xie were currently without network access, he could only place a call to the director.
After asking for details about Yuan Ling’s situation, he had the director give him the contact information for the staff member accompanying Yun Xie.
Yun Xie took the call, asking casually, "What’s up?"
"That guy with Qinqin has a pretty bad reputation in the Empire. Keep a close eye on things, and don’t let Qinqin be wronged.
If she doesn’t want to continue, just bring her back. The company will handle the negotiations with the production team afterward."
"Got it," Yun Xie replied flatly.
Seeing the call end, Lan Yuyan wasn’t angry.
After all, they had been together for so long that they were all familiar with each other’s personalities. Besides, there wasn’t much for males to chitchat about anyway.
Once the important business was finished, it was natural to end the call.
However, even though Yun Xie’s personality was a bit wild, Lan Yuyan still trusted him.
With him by Jiang Qin’s side, he felt much more at ease.
Meanwhile, Cang Hong, who had taken a moment to glance at the live stream, started arguing with his agent again.
"I don’t care, I’m going to join that show right now! I can pay my way in!!"
His agent was about to lose his mind. "For heaven’s sake, don’t you know you’re on tour? You’re supposed to board a spaceship in a little while! Where are you going to find the time to join a variety show?"
"Postpone the concert. Compensate the fans three times the ticket price."
The agent laughed. "Heh, it’s all the same to me. That is, if you’re planning on getting married while saddled with debt.
I just wonder if Miss Jiang would be willing to marry a partner who comes with no dowry, only a mountain of debt."
