Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera Chapter 76 - 75: The Overbearing CEO Now Has a Face (4)

It was just a simple, straightforward video, but it spread like wildfire online. In an instant, it set the entire internet ablaze once more.

"AHHHH, this guy is so handso! His boyfriend power is totally maxed out!"

"’My girlfriend is not soone just anyone can insult.’ SOB SOB SOB, that feeling..."

"After seeing this video, I swear I wanted to have his babies right then and there!"

"I told my mom I’m in love, and she told to get lost~~"

"Those f*cking clickbait accounts are so disgusting. He’s giving his own girlfriend resources, what business is it of yours? Just a case of sour grapes?"

"From now on, the domineering CEO has a face."

...

Public opinion had completely flipped in an instant. Almost everyone was siding with Ye Ling again.

Of course, the main reason it was so effective was that Ye Ling was the one who released the statent.

If soone who looked like a beast had posted this video, the public probably wouldn’t have bought it. In fact, those clickbait accounts might have even doubled down, saying, ’For Ning Ruoxi to fall for soone who looks like *that*, it must be for the money!’

But with Ye Ling’s looks, combined with the beautiful, heartwarming story from the previous video, the public undoubtedly accepted him in an instant.

’That’s right. No matter what, he’s Ning Ruoxi’s boyfriend. It’s perfectly normal for him to give her resources, isn’t it!?’

’What’s it got to do with you!?’

The comnt sections of the public accounts that had originally attacked Ning Ruoxi were now, without exception, filled with people cursing out the editors’ mothers.

...

In a small office sowhere in Modu, several sleazy-looking n in glasses were eating instant noodles.

"This Ning Ruoxi is a real looker, TSK TSK TSK. Getting flad like this now... how tragic."

"HAHAHA, Ergou, you’re a real bastard. Weren’t you the one who spread all this?"

These few n were, in fact, the ones who had first used the clickbait accounts to stir up controversy and attack Ning Ruoxi.

These types of people usually hid in the shadows of various cities, writing articles and using paid comnters to get on the trending lists, thereby attracting more traffic.

And because the current online regulations weren’t particularly robust, and they were very good at hiding their tracks, it was actually quite difficult to crack down on them.

"We’ve raked in a ton of traffic this ti. The money we made will probably be enough to last us the rest of the year."

One of the n in glasses pushed his specs up his nose and said with a wicked grin.

"Wait, Lao Er, look!"

However, the man next to him suddenly saw sothing and shouted, pointing at the screen.

"What is it, what is it? Why are you in such a panic?"

The man glanced over with an annoyed expression, but then he, too, froze.

Below the posts they had made, the comnt sections were suddenly flooded with a huge wave of people. Normally, more people would be a good thing, but these people were, without exception, all flaming *them*!

"What’s going on!?"

Seeing this, the one called Lao Er panicked and imdiately snatched the laptop.

He clicked open Weibo.

The previous negative comnts were all gone.

Trending #1: [Lingxi’s Love!]

Trending #2: [Mysterious Hottie Speaks Out for His Girlfriend!]

Trending #3: [Cyberbullying: Should We Reflect on Our Actions?]

Trending #4: [Apologize to Miss Ning Ruoxi!]

...

On the trending list, the top four spots were all related to Lingxi’s Love and Ning Ruoxi!

"What the hell is going on?"

The n all panicked. They scrambled back to their workstations and started searching frantically.

Soon, they found the video Ye Ling had posted.

"My girlfriend is not soone just anyone can insult!"

The young man’s voice was filled with a dashing confidence.

A hint of dominance!

And utter protectiveness!

"Damn it, how the hell does this kid have that kind of power!?"

The group had a complete ltdown. They never would have imagined that Ye Ling possessed such a background.

They were so screwed!

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and several uniford police officers walked in.

"Hello, we’re from the Public Security Bureau. You are suspected of spreading rumors, malicious marketing, and doxxing. Please co with us."

Seeing the police arrive, everyone in the room was instantly overco by a sense of powerlessness.

They knew they were finished!

"The Modu Public Security Bureau reports a case: The clickbait account ring behind today’s incident involving the defamation and doxxing of the author of Lingxi’s Love was arrested today at 5:30 PM. They will be investigated and prosecuted according to the law!"

Instantly, the entire internet erupted in cheers.

"I’ve been sick of these dumbass clickbait accounts for ages! They just chase clout all day long. Good riddance! They should shut down all of them!"

"Looks like that mysterious hottie is really powerful. This definitely has sothing to do with him."

...

Ye Ling watched as the negative comnts online vanished like a receding tide, the icy look on his face gradually lting away.

He went to Ning Ruoxi’s room and saw the girl on the bed, clutching her blanket tightly, her delicate brows furrowed. A look of doting affection appeared on his face.

"My girl, from now on, I won’t let anyone bully you like this again."

Ye Ling sighed and sat down on the edge of her bed.

As if sensing his presence, Ning Ruoxi’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. She reached out a small hand, as if trying to grab sothing.

"Stinky..."

Ning Ruoxi murmured drowsily.

"I’m here."

Ye Ling took her small hand in his. Only then did she seem to settle down, snuggling closer to him with a contented air.

This ti, Ning Ruoxi slept soundly.

It was hard to say why—perhaps it was the imnse stress she’d been under lately, or perhaps it was because Ye Ling was by her side. In any case, she slept straight through to the next day.

When morning ca, Ning Ruoxi woke with sleepy eyes and imdiately saw Ye Ling, who had fallen asleep leaning against the bed.

"Stinky?"

Ning Ruoxi called out softly.

Ye Ling was fast asleep.

He had actually stayed with Ning Ruoxi all night. The girl had held his hand so tightly that he couldn’t bring himself to leave, nor did he dare to move. So, he had simply sat there the entire night.

Eventually, he couldn’t stay awake any longer and just fell asleep sitting up like that.

"You goof."

Ning Ruoxi had a good idea of what had happened. She gently loosened Ye Ling’s grip on her hand, her beautiful eyes gazing at the young man before her.

He really was handso. Though his face still held a trace of youthfulness, his brow now carried a hint of the charisma of a mature man.

Watching the young man bathed in the morning sun, Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but reach out and gently pinch Ye Ling’s cheek.

’Mm.’

’Soft and nice~’
