At the same time, Qin Yi held onto his phone. His hands were shaking uncontrollably when he noticed what things were happening on the internet, and it was getting worse for him.
His mother, who could have helped him solve the issue, had been arrested as well.
“She is heartless!”
There were a handful of tears that came out of his eyes. No one would know if these were tears of sorrow, fear, or remorse.
“My reputation… Is it completely ruined now?”
Qin Yi’s lawyer was seated right across from him, and he felt helpless as well.
“Mr Qin, even without the issue in the factory, without the evidence that it was that woman who is trying to frame you, that video itself was enough to ruin you. Forget about the one that your fan had shown of you harming her family. The other party doesn’t want to settle the matter privately. So… I’m afraid that no one will be able to free you in this court case. The only thing that I can do is reduce your sentence.”
Qin Yi cried as he mumbled to himself, “Why are you so cruel?! Why do you have to do this to me?! I already apologized and promised that I will never be with Jing Lu ever again!”
The lawyer sighed as well.
Then, there was a new post that popped up on the internet that was related to Jing Qian.
Qin Yi clicked on it and saw that Miao Lanqi had posted a recording of the phone call between her and Jing Lu.
Qin Yi’s eyes brightened up with hope, and he quickly posted.
[Qin Yi (v): I sincerely apologise for all the things that I have done towards @Jing Qian and @Yunxiao. I shouldn’t have gotten fake followers to try and defame you. Also, I would like to say sorry to @Jing Qian.
I’m sorry. We have been dating for a long time, but I have never dared to admit this fact in front of my fans. I was selfish and ignorant because I was worried that I would lose my fans. I was worried that my career, which I worked so hard trying to build, would be ruined. I was heartbroken seeing how they were attacking you, but I was a coward. Now that you have found your new love, I truly hope that you will be happy. I have loved you and I trust that you have loved me before. Please… Don’t do this to me.]
Qin Yi looked through his post twice and showed it to his lawyer.
“You… It may look like an apology, but you’re just pushing her into a corner! Not only did you admit your relationship with Jing Qian, you have also proven that she has a sugar daddy supporting her. Not only would you have difficulty being free now, you are making it difficult to reduce your sentence as well. Are you sure you want to do this?”
Qin Yi rubbed his eyes, which were now bloodshot and said, “Can’t you see that she has totally forgotten about me? The factory is now in deep trouble and my mother has been arrested. No one would be able to help me now, which is why I have to do this to her. I want my fans to be my support and I want them to call out injustice for me. I want them to know that I was framed. All of this has happened because of Jing Qian. She is trying to ruin me just because she has a sugar daddy now. No matter what, this is still a chance.”
The lawyer rebutted, “But… The fact that you’ve threatened Xiao Wu has been proven, and what about the fact that you injured her brother? Even if you posted this and your fans made a scene, the court would only trust the evidence.”
“I don’t care. I am just going to say that Jing Qian is the one that planned the entire thing. Even with Xiao Qu’s case, we shall claim that they were the ones who acted it out on their own. The only way for her to save me is to frame her!”
With that said, he released it on the internet.
As soon as it got uploaded, the comment section became so flooded that the entire internet crashed.
