If she didn’t show the marriage certificate, she would attract even more trouble. She had gotten pregnant before getting married, didn’t value herself, and had a one-night stand. All of these issues would affect her future career and reputation much more gravely than revealing her marriage certificate directly.

“You couldn’t find out?” Huo Ci gave Jun Shiyan a scornful look and let out a cold laugh. “Third Old Jun, tell me the truth. Don’t tell me you orchestrated this show for me to watch!”

To be able to attack others’ computers on a large scale and spread the video to everyone’s phone wasn’t something an ordinary hacker could do. There were less than two people in China who had this ability. The top hacker was also Jun Shiyan’s man!

“Father-in-law, you can’t accuse me of this. How could I do such a thing?” Jun Shiyan was still standing behind Ling Sheng, feeling very pleased. He hadn’t expected that the feeling of hiding behind the young lady to be protected by her would make him so happy. “I’ve already asked Yu Zheng to investigate. There will be news soon.”

“Useless thing,” Huo Ci let out a cold snort.

Ling Sheng looked at her father. He should speak nicely. How could he scold others at the drop of a hat? He hadn’t found out who the culprit was either. Why was he scolding the Third Master? It had only been a short while. The Third Master wasn’t a god either. He needed to investigate as well, okay?

Upon seeing the damn brat’s unconvinced expression, Huo Ci was infuriated. “Do you believe me when I say I’ll dig your eyes out if you keep staring? Isn’t it all because of you that things have come this far? How dare you glare at me still? Do I owe you?!”

Ling Sheng knew that he simply wanted to vent his anger, so she said without losing her temper, “Dad, you’re right. It’s all my fault.”

Huo Ci said, “Don’t you act dumb.”

When Nangong Lengyu carried Xiaoqi over, she saw Huo Ci glaring at their daughter fiercely. She hurried forward. “Why are you being so fierce? It’s not like Sheng Sheng wanted this to happen. She’s a victim too.”

Huo Ci frowned. What had he said? He hadn’t hit or scolded her. Why had everything become his fault?

“Mom, Dad didn’t do anything to us.” Ling Sheng pulled her to sit down.

Xiaoqi looked at them over and over again. In the end, he ran over to Huo Ci sensibly. The little fella smiled. “Grandpa.”

Huo Ci carried the brat to his side and sat down. Then, he gave Jun Shiyan a smug look. So what if he was his son? Wasn’t he still the closest to him?

Yu Zheng quickly made a call. He had already found the mastermind behind the scenes. It was a hacker called Lucifer. He was ranked ninth in the world and was classified as a terrorist by international organizations. He committed every crime in the book. As long as he was given enough money, he would do anything.

Lucifer confessed quickly. They followed the clues and found the culprit. All the evidence pointed to one person: Gu Shen.

Huo Ci raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly at Jun Shiyan. “Third Master Jun, could it be that you can’t bear to deal with him just because he’s your nephew? If it’s not easy to deal with him, get lost. Don’t ever appear in front of me again. I’ll punish him myself.”

Ling Sheng hadn’t expected that it was Gu Shen who found someone to do this. The only interaction she had had with him recently was that he had been hit by a car and sent to the hospital too. She hadn’t offended him in any way. That b*stard wasn’t a good person. Could he be so petty that he still held onto their past grudges?

“Father-in-law, I’ll ask Ah Shen personally. If it’s really him, I’ll definitely punish him personally to account to you.” Jun Shiyan didn’t believe that the nephew he had raised would be a petty person who would pester a girl over an old matter, or even make a move like a vicious little villain.

However, the chain of evidence showed that he had done it. Yu Zheng’s side was also investigating in-depth. He said that there was something suspicious, but he couldn’t find the source of the doubt immediately either. They needed time to confirm it.

“How could I believe that you would put justice before family?” Huo Ci smiled coldly. “After all, you only have this one nephew. I heard that you treat him quite well and have high hopes for him.”

Jun Shiyan said solemnly, “Father-in-law, Sheng Sheng is the most important person in this world to me.”

“Ah Yan, go back and ask him properly. Get Yu Zheng to check again.” Nangong Lengyu also felt that it was a little strange. She knew Ah Shen too. Although he was a little impulsive sometimes, he wasn’t a person with dark and malicious thoughts. The Gu Family had a good upbringing, so he should not commit such despicable acts.

Ling Sheng frowned as well. “Although Gu Shen has always had a problem with me, I don’t think he would attack me because of that bit of objection. He knew about my relationship with Xiaoqi long ago. The relationship between Third Master and I wasn’t exposed either.”

Huo Ci let out a snort, his expression mocking. “Perhaps he’s waiting for the day of the product launch? He’s going to slap us in the face during your mother’s new brand debut. She won’t be able to continue the show and it will cause immeasurable losses.”

“He knows about me and the Third Master. If Xiaoqi and I are exposed, the Third Master will definitely come forward. He would be nowhere better off either. Is he stupid to do something that doesn’t benefit him at all?” Ling Sheng wasn’t trying to excuse Gu Shen. She was just telling the truth.

When he said that Gu Shen had done it, she expressed her suspicions. It would be more appropriate to say that Luo Xin had done it. Only she could .get close to Gu Shen and use his account to hire hackers to defame her. That was still feasible.

Jun Shiyan promised that he would investigate this matter thoroughly. Huo Ci couldn’t force him anymore, so he only scolded and warned him. He did not make things too difficult for him. However, after today, he looked down on him even more.

If he had known this would happen, he would have filmed him hiding behind that damn brat and posted that scene online. He should let the whole country know that the scumbag Third Old Jun was a coward.

In the middle of the L-Star debut, Ling Sheng’s exposed video was broadcasted. However, it was just a small interlude. After that, it went smoothly and ended perfectly. The celebratory banquet after that was also very lively. It could be said to be a grand feast for Chinese and foreign celebrities to interact together.

Ling Sheng was also led by her mother to meet many superstars she liked and idolized. The singers were all her mother’s good friends. They had a pretty good relationship, and they were also very friendly and polite to her. They invited her to their houses to play, and they had even invited her to concerts and guest-star in movies and television dramas.

However, during the celebration banquet, Huo Ci brought Xiaoqi home. The two elders at home had finally returned from a vacation overseas. They had been gone for more than 10 days, and they missed their baby. No matter what, they insisted that he had to bring the baby home.

Ling Sheng also had to persuade her for a long time before she agreed to go home after the banquet.

After the evening banquet ended, Nangong Lengyu was still in charge of tying up loose ends.. When she knew that the two elders wanted to see their granddaughter, she did not let her stay to help and chased her away immediately.
