Gu Lan frowned. "That's true. It would be a waste of effort if Ning Wan is unharmed."
Lin Xin immediately became energetic. "Help me keep an eye on Han Chi. If you can stop him, you must. Huo Ce didn't listen to the results of Han Chi's investigation and only told him how to deal with the instigator. Go and find out more. I'll go look for Ning Wan now!"
Lin Xin left without looking back.
Gu Lan looked at her back and sneered. This idiot!
The reason why Han Chi could find out about that media so quickly was because she had "unintentionally" provided clues. Han Chi was not stupid. He must have already found out that the mastermind was Lin Xin.
With Huo Ce's temper, he would not be a man if he could still spare Lin Xin and the Lin family after she made him a public cuckold!
Ning Wan and Huo Yuan were lying on the bed reading a storybook. Huo Yuan was starting to pick up words quickly. Ning Wan kept repeating it with him, deepening his impression. Huo Yuan was quite passionate about studying.
Someone knocked on the door. Ning Wan jumped out of bed and opened the door. She said to Huo Yuan, "Do you think someone is here to deliver delicious food to us?"
When the door opened, it was Lin Xin with red eyes and a sorrowful expression.
Ning Wan could not help but be stunned. "Miss Lin? Huo Ce isn't here."
She thought that Lin Xin was here to look for Huo Ce. If Huo Ce saw her bullied expression, his heart would probably ache.
Lin Xin grabbed Ning Wan's wrist. "Wanwan, I'm here to see you."
Ning Wan was shocked. She was not used to having physical contact with people she was not familiar with, so she subconsciously took a step back.
"Miss Lin, I'm fine. Huo Yuan and I are fine." Ning Wan instinctively defended herself since she couldn't figure out what Miss Lin had up her sleeve.
"Wanwan, I know you're forcing a smile. I've seen the reports on the Internet and so has Huo Ce. He's very angry now. Don't blame him. Think about it. Which man can still calm down when facing such a thing? How can he not be angry?"
"Huo Ce is the head of the Huo family. His face is more important to him than his life. In the past two years, we've all seen your feelings for him, but you'll really implicate him now." Lin Xin's voice was filled with tears and her face was filled with regret.
Ning Wan looked at Lin Xin in confusion. "Miss Lin, what do you mean? I don't understand."
Lin Xin took out her phone and showed it to Ning Wan. "Look, the Internet is filled with news about you."
In fact, Han Chi had already ordered the news to be cleaned up. The webpage could no longer be opened. The content on the phone was screenshot by Lin Xin beforehand.
Ning Wan stared blankly at the news in Lin Xin's hand, and her face turned pale.
This was nonsense. She widened her eyes and looked at Lin Xin, not knowing what to say.
Lin Xin held her hand and said sincerely, "Ning Wan, do you know how much humiliation your existence will bring to the Huo family? The Huo family can't afford to lose face. The only way now is for you to leave the Huo family and not appear in public for the time being. Huo Ce will definitely think of a way to shut these media outlets up, but this will take time. Only by disappearing can the Huo family preserve their face. Ning Wan, you love Huo Ce deeply, right? You're willing to sacrifice yourself for him, right? I can help you leave this place and find a hidden place to hide for a while, okay?"
Miss Lin's mouth opened and closed, but Ning Wan could not hear a word.
Her ears buzzed as if a thousand bees were flying inside.
She had once been a Best Actress. No one understood the power of the media to destroy everything better than her. In their hands, no matter if it was praise or derogation, it would make people shed a layer of skin. She almost felt an instinctive panic.
Lin Xin was very satisfied with Ning Wan's reaction. Regardless of what happened with Huo Ce, it was fine if she could get rid of Ning Wan. Huo Ce could coax her later. She had panicked just now. She could achieve twice the result with half the effort by working on Ning Wan first.
"Young Aunt, don't be afraid. Little Uncle will protect us!" Huo Yuan's clear and firm voice interrupted Lin Xin and pulled Ning Wan's consciousness back.
Huo Yuan listened to their conversation word for word. Ning Wan's expression made him very worried.
