Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 462: Targeting Lin Yue

Chen Tan said, "I don’t know. We’ve received information that the rumors have already started fermenting online. This Zhan Zhengnan is indeed a distant uncle of the boss, but they haven’t been in contact during ordinary times. They’ve only met once a year during the ancestral worship. It’s unclear why netizens are associating him with the boss, and some are even speculating that Qin Mu is the boss’s kept man."

Chen Tan was indignant, and this is what made their boss the angriest.

Accusing him of indulging the Zhan Family people is one thing, but to slander him by saying he keeps a man is utterly ridiculous.

Ningwan was also speechless, unsure where these rumors originated.

"Haven’t you found out who’s behind this?" Ningwan asked.

Chen Tan shook his head. "We haven’t found out yet, but we are making every effort to investigate. We should be able to find some clues soon."

The elevator arrived.

Ningwan and Chen Tan stepped out of the elevator.

As expected, as soon as they pushed open the door to Zhan Hanjue’s office, they heard Zhan Hanjue speaking on the phone in a cold and harsh tone, not knowing to whom he was speaking. His tone was very unfriendly and even had a hint of anger.

Ningwan hadn’t seen Zhan Hanjue this angry in a long time, as the two of them were on good terms now, full of affection.

Whenever Zhan Hanjue spoke to her, his tone would soften involuntarily.

It almost made her forget that Zhan Hanjue once had the nickname "Living Yama."

"I don’t want to hear any explanations. You have two hours to come forward and clarify." Zhan Hanjue glanced at the door when he heard it open and then coldly issued his final ultimatum to the person on the phone.

After speaking, he hung up decisively without waiting for the other party to respond.

"Wanwan, why are you here?"

Zhan Hanjue quickly took a few steps forward, approached Ningwan, and held her shoulders, asking.

His tone softened involuntarily, and even his expression no longer had the cold harshness from before.

Ningwan chuckled, took the initiative to hug his waist, and said, "I heard you’re having some trouble here, so I came to see if there’s anything I can help with."

"It’s nothing, I will resolve it soon. And... you trust me, right!" Zhan Hanjue asked tentatively.

Ningwan smiled, "Of course I trust you. Who else would I trust if not you?"

Zhan Hanjue visibly relaxed.

"It doesn’t matter what others think of me, as long as you don’t misunderstand me. I don’t even know that celebrity, and there’s absolutely nothing between us."

"Of course I know. Who knows your orientation better than I do? You aren’t interested in pretty men or women because, in your eyes, no one is more attractive than me," Ningwan said, drawing circles on his chest with a finger.

Zhan Hanjue grabbed her finger, raised it to his lips, and kissed it.

"As long as you believe me, I’m at ease."

"You probably know that this is related to Ye Shao and Lin Yue," Ningwan added.

Zhan Hanjue nodded, "I just found out. Qin Mu hurt Ye Shao, and it was Lin Yue who had someone investigate Qin Mu’s boss behind the scenes and then mobilize public opinion to embroil Qin Mu and Zhan Zhengnan in a war of words."

"I initially wanted to tell you about this, but I hadn’t expected that the person behind Qin Mu was someone from your Zhan Family. Lin Yue said you might be embarrassed if you handled it, so she assured me she would manage it. I thought it wouldn’t bother you, so there was no need to tell you, but I never expected things to escalate this far. Lin Yue has also been monitoring the situation and even called to apologize."

"I don’t blame him, and I certainly don’t blame you. But Wanwan, the situation has escalated, and there’s definitely more to it than just losing control. I suspect someone is using this opportunity to stir things up and deliberately target the Zhan Group," Zhan Hanjue said seriously.

Ningwan nodded, "I also understand it’s not that simple. You should investigate it thoroughly. Is there anything you need me to do? Now that they’re even questioning your orientation, should we hold a press conference to clarify?"

"Wanwan, not everyone will believe something just because it’s said. There’s a saying: the more you try to cover up, the worse it gets. The situation is still unclear, so we shouldn’t hold a press conference. Doing so will only put you at the forefront of the public opinion storm," Zhan Hanjue said.

Ningwan immediately said, "I’m not afraid. I’m just a Chinese medicine doctor, not a celebrity, nor do I run a company. Will people stop seeing me as a doctor because I’m caught up in public opinion?"

"But I don’t want to get you involved. Right now, our priority is to find the mastermind and block the rumors," Zhan Hanjue hugged her.

"Okay, I’ll listen to you. After all, you’re more experienced with these things than I am. But if there’s anything you need me to do, don’t hesitate to tell me out of worry about dragging me into this. I am Ye Ningwan, not that fragile," Ningwan patted his back.

Zhan Hanjue nodded.

At this moment, a knock came from the door, and the two of them separated.

"Come in."

Chen Tan entered, looking at Zhan Hanjue with a strange expression, but didn’t speak.

Zhan Hanjue frowned, "Is there something you need to say?"

Chen Tan gave him a significant look.

Zhan Hanjue immediately understood and was about to find an excuse to let Ningwan leave.

However, Ningwan smiled and said, "Is there something that can’t be said in front of me?"

Chen Tan looked awkwardly at Zhan Hanjue.

Zhan Hanjue was afraid of Ningwan misunderstanding, so he said to Chen Tan, "Whatever it is, just say it. Wanwan is not an outsider."

Chen Tan had no choice but to say, "We’ve found the mastermind behind the rumors."

"Who?" Zhan Hanjue asked.

Ningwan’s face fell, and a bad premonition arose. Before Chen Tan could speak, she quietly asked, "Is it Lin Yue?"

Chen Tan nodded, "It’s President Lin."

"Impossible," Ningwan said, "At first, making Qin Mu pay the price and finding Zhan Zhengnan behind Qin Mu was indeed Lin Yue’s plan. But his goal was to make Qin Mu apologize to Ye Shao and give Ye Shao justice. The subsequent developments were also beyond his expectations, and he even called me today to explain this."

Zhan Hanjue said, "Wanwan, don’t be hasty. Chen Tan is simply reporting his findings. You know Chen Tan; he wouldn’t make claims without evidence. Chen Tan, show us your evidence for Wanwan and me to see."

Chen Tan nodded and presented online screenshots, the discovered address, and a data chart of the people related to Lin Yue and the address.

It was well-organized and irrefutable.

The IP address belonged to the Lin Group.

To say this had nothing to do with Lin Yue was implausible.

For a moment, Ningwan had nothing to say.

Zhan Hanjue, seeing her pale face, gave Chen Tan a look to have him leave first.

Once Chen Tan exited, he immediately comforted Ningwan, "Wanwan, don’t be too upset. This is just speculation. Even if it’s someone from the Lin Group, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s related to Lin Yue. We should still ask Lin Yue and listen to what he has to say."

"I understand. I’ll go find him to talk." Ningwan said.
