When Luo Ziling finished the lecture, the police also completed questioning the female reporter involved, along with other journalists who participated in the interview, and obtained videos from the scene.
After class, Luo Ziling was immediately questioned by the police.
Before accepting the police inquiry, he sent the details of the incident to Yang Qingyin, asking her to post it on Weibo, along with several video clips.
He had Dong Xiaowan and Wang Feiyang provide the videos to Yang Qingyin.
Yang Qingyin also got involved in this matter. Although Dong Xiaowan and Wang Feiyang felt somewhat uncomfortable, they trusted Luo Ziling’s sincerity even more.
If he was willing to share even this kind of matter with Yang Qingyin, could Luo Ziling have any ulterior motives?
Upon receiving Luo Ziling’s information, Yang Qingyin was immediately angered.
She wasn’t angry that Luo Ziling might be taking advantage of another woman; she never believed Luo Ziling would take advantage of an ordinary female reporter.
If Luo Ziling wanted to take advantage of women, there were enough beautiful women around him; why risk taking advantage of others? Whoever came up with this idea was either malicious or foolish, and foolish beyond redemption.
In fact, she didn’t even want to watch the videos from the scene, feeling it was unnecessary.
She only had Xiaoli review the videos sent by Dong Xiaowan and Wang Feiyang.
After Xiaoli confirmed there was no major issue, she logged into Luo Ziling’s Weibo and posted the day’s events along with the videos.
Upon logging into Luo Ziling’s Weibo, she noticed there were a lot of comments from fans in the backend, totaling tens of thousands.
She couldn’t possibly read these comments or reply, but she knew Luo Ziling’s fans were very concerned about this matter.
Therefore, she added a line after the post: "Please don’t imitate the female reporter; there’s no need to chase trends in such a way. If you’re interested, you can come and take a photo with me, no problem."
Yang Qingyin’s Weibo post on behalf of Luo Ziling immediately attracted countless viewers.
The number of views, reposts, and comments increased rapidly like a rocket.
Fortunately, Weibo’s official team already had a plan, preventing the site from crashing due to the explosive increase in traffic.
Similar incidents happening once or twice are already unforgivable. If it happens again, they’d either have to ask for donations or get fired.
Soon enough, the police clarified the situation.
However, they concluded that the incident was just a misunderstanding; Luo Ziling had not made any inappropriate moves towards the female reporter. She was possibly pushed by someone, causing her sensitive chest area to touch Luo Ziling’s arm, leading her to mistakenly believe Luo Ziling intended to take advantage of her.
The female reporter, possibly startled, immediately accepted this conclusion once announced by the police and admitted she had past experiences of being taken advantage of during interviews, thus having a shadow in her heart. She misjudged Mr. Luo Ziling and felt very sorry, hoping he would forgive her.
She also candidly admitted that she indeed wanted to ride on Luo Ziling’s popularity, which led her to impulsively claim Luo Ziling tried to violate her.
Luo Ziling, of course, did not agree with this final result, but he did not make things difficult for the police.
He knew the follow-up needed to be investigated by himself.
The police quickly released the investigation results through their official public account and Weibo, and the female reporter also issued an apology statement on her Weibo. All this happened within less than three hours after the incident.
A farce seemed to be quelled, but Luo Ziling knew the real investigation was just beginning.
While the police were investigating, Wuyue had already set out to trace this matter.
By late afternoon before the end of work, Wuyue had thoroughly reported the investigation findings to Luo Ziling.
"It was actually Yang Qingye who instigated that female reporter?" Luo Ziling was greatly shocked upon hearing Wuyue’s report.
He certainly did not expect it was Yang Qingye who orchestrated this slander, feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart.
He couldn’t accept that the handsome guy who was recently calling him "brother-in-law" so fawningly had turned around and stabbed him.
Luo Ziling remembered, the last time Yang Qingye called him "brother-in-law" was around the end of June, close to the summer vacation.
Now it was late September, not yet the National Day holiday, merely three months since then.
In the span of three months, Yang Qingye transformed from his admirer and ally into an opponent or even enemy; it was terrifying. What unknown events happened during these three months to cause such a change in Yang Qingye?
Luo Ziling felt the need to thoroughly investigate Yang Qingye’s situation to avoid being conned by this brother-in-law again.
At that thought, a wave of sadness welled up in his heart, leading him to doubt if his relationship with Yang Qingyin was a mistake.
Luo Ziling also reflected on his own actions and came to the conclusion that he hadn’t had any conflicts with Yang Qingye.
Yang Qingye’s change should not be due to him, but rather to Yang Yunlin. He believed Yang Yuanshan surely wouldn’t instigate Yang Qingye to oppose him; having had considerable contact with Yang Yuanshan lately, Luo Ziling trusted his judgment.
He immediately shared the investigation results with Yang Qingyin.
He didn’t want to hide from her, feeling the need to curb Yang Qingye’s antics promptly to prevent him from becoming even more unruly.
However, he was unwilling to confront Yang Qingye directly over this matter, to start a dispute.
Instead, he let Yang Qingyin handle it, to discipline Yang Qingye.
Luo Ziling believed informing Yang Qingyin immediately was the most correct decision.
After all, Yang Qingye had always feared Yang Qingyin since she held authority over him.
More importantly, both he and Yang Qingyin were involved in this matter, and Yang Qingyin had to know about the conflict of interests.
Whatever drove Yang Qingye to act this way, it was Yang Qingyin who was better suited to ask clearly.
He didn’t want to trace Yang Qingye through the clues provided by the female reporter and tear their relationship.
Regardless, Yang Qingye was Yang Qingyin’s twin brother, and if he wanted to marry Yang Qingyin, Yang Qingye would be his brother-in-law.
He indeed wished to have a good relationship with Yang Yunlin as well, otherwise, Yang Qingyin would be very upset.
As long as Yang Yunlin, Yang Qingye, and Yang Yuanshan were willing to maintain a good relationship with him, Luo Ziling wouldn’t refuse.
Yang Qingyin was astonished upon receiving Luo Ziling’s call.
However, she immediately believed it was Yang Qingye’s doing, feeling Luo Ziling wouldn’t deceive her over such a matter.
If Luo Ziling didn’t have solid evidence, he wouldn’t claim such a thing.
Thus, she promptly assured Luo Ziling that she would confront Yang Qingye to clarify the situation.
Luo Ziling told Yang Qingyin that he was going to meet a senior military officer soon and would contact her later.
He asked Yang Qingyin to manage any situation herself.
Yang Qingyin didn’t refuse either.
