Chapter 7: Flies Only Revel in the Chamber Pot
After leaving the Ye family, Gu Muchen’s special assistant smoothly opened the car door and asked, “How’s the investigation going?”
“Second Young Master, someone did tamper with your drink at the hotel that night,” Ren Yi replied.
“Who was it?”
“It was the Du family,” Ren Yi answered. “They even bribed a security guard that night to try and send a woman to your room.”
“Was it Ye Shiyun?” Gu Muchen asked.
“No,” Ren Yi said. “The woman arranged by the Du family had an accident and didn’t make it upstairs that night.”
“So Ye Shiyun really did accidentally enter my room?” Gu Muchen asked.
“All the hotel surveillance footage was destroyed that night, so we still need to investigate Miss Ye’s situation further,” Ren Yi replied. “But I did find a blurry figure that appeared at your room that night.”
As Ren Yi spoke, he handed over a photo to Gu Muchen.
Gu Muchen stared at the blurry figure and quickly thought of the girl named Ye Chu.
Her back looked very similar to this one.
“Find out as soon as possible,” Gu Muchen ordered.
“Yes!”
At that moment, Gu Muchen’s phone rang. It was Qin Jingxuan calling.
Although Gu Muchen’s face remained expressionless as he looked at his phone, Ren Yi could clearly see the word “disgust” written all over his face.
As soon as the call connected, Qin Jingxuan’s pleading voice came through the phone.
“Second Brother, my dear Second Brother, can you do me a favor?”
“Speak,” Gu Muchen said impatiently.
“It’s like this. I promised to give a speech at Yun City University before, but I completely forgot about it. I flew to Ping City early this morning, and there’s no way I can make it back in time. Second Brother, can you help me out?” Qin Jingxuan was probably off playing with his female models in Ping City again.
“When is it?”
“In half an hour.”
Without saying another word, Gu Muchen hung up the phone and rubbed his forehead in frustration. Then he said to Ren Yi, “Go to Yun City University.”

At Yun City University
Ye Chu rushed to the school and saw Xia Xia crying uncontrollably.
“What happened, Qingmeng?”
“Xia Xia was followed into the bathroom today, and that person even laid hands on her!” Shang Qingmeng said angrily.
“Xia Xia fought back desperately and managed to get away, but then he turned the tables on her and said that she deliberately seduced him and tried to extort him.
“He’s spreading rumors everywhere, even on the school forum! The worst part is that we have no evidence!” Shang Qingmeng was extremely anxious.
“Who is that person?” Ye Chu’s clear eyes suddenly lit up with anger after hearing Shang Qingmeng’s words.
“It’s the young master of the Du family, Du Shicheng,” Shang Qingmeng said. “He had pursued Xia Xia before, but she rejected him. He must have done this on purpose!”
Du Shicheng was notorious at Yun City University for being lecherous and shameless.
He had wealth and background, and he loved to flirt with and harass girls.
Many girls catered to him, but those who rejected him suffered all kinds of retaliation.
Ye Chu opened the school forum and saw a post with an eye-catching title: "Modern Pure Female Students Use Various Means to Marry Into Wealthy Families!"
The poster used an anonymous name, and the post contained several photos taken from behind of Xia Xia entering the restroom.
The photos were obviously taken without her knowledge, but the worst part was the disgusting text that came with them.
The central idea was that Xia Xia intentionally seduced wealthy men but was rejected, so she turned the tables and accused them of taking photos of her to ruin their reputation.
The last few paragraphs were full of insults, calling Xia Xia a scheming woman while praising the unnamed wealthy man as a virtuous gentleman.
The comments were even worse. Some people took the chance to spread rumors and gain attention.
It was like a group of maggots had found a pile of filth to feast on, spewing nonsense in the post.
But all the comments had one thing in common, everyone was anonymous, except for Xia Xia, the only victim who was named.
"Ye Chu, I'm the victim here... I don’t understand why everyone is attacking me… I really don’t understand..." Xia Xia sobbed, her emotions all over the place.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll help you get justice!" Ye Chu hugged Xia Xia tightly, patting her back.
Ye Chu borrowed Shang Qingmeng’s computer and quickly typed on the keyboard.
She hacked into the school forum and, with one press of the enter key, disabled the anonymous function for the entire forum.
Everyone’s usernames were exposed, like taking off their masks and revealing their real identities.
Ye Chu opened the post that defamed Xia Xia and saw that the poster was named Zhao Li, a follower of Du Shicheng.
The people who insulted Xia Xia in the comments were also from Du Shicheng’s group.
Although Ye Chu couldn’t recognize all the usernames, she believed that some of her classmates would.
In this way, their real identities were exposed.
Ye Chu calmly started taking screenshots of the post, page by page.
Within minutes, someone noticed that the anonymous function had stopped working.
Soon after, the people who had commented on the post began frantically deleting their own comments.
In less than ten minutes, the post that had defamed Xia Xia went from having the highest number of comments to almost none.
Ye Chu then anonymously posted a new thread with the title:
"Du Shicheng Bullies Female Classmates and Resorts to Slandering and Defaming in a Post. What Kind of Man Does That? And to Those Who Commented in Support, Apologize Now!"
Ye Chu uploaded the screenshots she had saved one by one.
Those who had insulted Xia Xia earlier and thought they could get away with it by deleting their comments were now realizing the harm they had caused.
"Ye Chu, you're amazing! How do you even know how to do all of this?" Shang Qingmeng stood by in awe.
Ye Chu had handled everything in less than half an hour. Some of the people who had insulted Xia Xia were now "sincerely" apologizing in the comments of Ye Chu's post.
"Let's go. We still have a speech to attend today. Since we haven’t done anything wrong, we should live with dignity and integrity." Ye Chu patted Xia Xia on the back.

Meanwhile…
At a bar across the street from the school, Du Shicheng found out about the incident and smashed his bottle of alcohol.
He immediately ordered the forum administrator to delete the post.
However, the administrator replied that the forum had been hacked and their permissions had been changed, leaving them unable to log in.
