Chapter 320 – Great God, I heard you’re going to travel a thousand li to deliver (54)
A trace of helplessness flashed through his eyes, but the car still started. Just as he was about to step on the gas, his phone suddenly rang.
Frowning slightly, he glanced at the name on the screen—[ut].
Tsk, he’d only just taken him off the blacklist, and the guy was already acting up.
His brows furrowed again, but he still picked up the call.
Blowing another bubble with his gum, he lazily said, “Hello?”
“Boss, boss! Have you seen the internet?!” The voice on the other end belonged to a young man—piercing, full of shock, so loud that Fang Shi nearly dropped his phone.
Squinting, he said impatiently, “Cut the crap. I must’ve been too soft when I took you off my blacklist.”
“No, no, no, Boss! You haven’t seen the statement your ‘precious one’ posted yet, have you?”
His precious one? A flicker of confusion passed through Fang Shi’s eyes.
He only had one precious person. Shouldn’t she be in the lab right now, focused on her research?
As for the online gossip, he hadn’t planned on telling her.
After all, she was someone he cherished, protected, and refused to say a harsh word to, why should she be insulted like this?
He had assumed Yan Luo was too busy to notice much and had planned to handle it quickly. Besides, he had issued an order yesterday—by now, things should’ve been suppressed quite a bit…
But ut’s next words made Fang Shi slam on the brakes.
“Man, your precious one really doesn’t sound like a girl at all. But some netizens dug into her family background—it’s as tragic as yours, Boss. So, what are you gonna do—”
Before ut could finish his sentence, Fang Shi had already hung up.
This time, though, ut didn’t throw a fit like before. He raised a brow, listening to the beeping sound from the disconnected call, then let out a small “Tsk.”
Amusement flickered in his eyes, this was a rare sight, seeing Fang Shi flustered. That Luo girl was something else.
But he hadn’t expected her to be really a girl.
A glint of interest flashed through his gaze as a teammate looked over with a questioning glance. ut clicked his tongue and cursed with a laugh, “Leave them alone. Unlike us single dogs, he’s got someone now.”
Tsk, what a schemer, silently getting himself a girlfriend without a word.
Weren’t they all supposed to be single together? And the one they thought least likely to date was the first to get a girlfriend. He could already imagine the smug grin Fang Shi would wear when teasing the rest of them for being single.
Ugh, depressing.
Meanwhile, Fang Shi parked the car again and opened a forum he hadn’t checked in a long time. Many malicious posts had already been taken down, but some were still being pushed to the top.
One of the hottest topics was an exposé on Yan Luo.
It was full of malice. It not only detailed both Yan Luo’s and Fang Shi’s backgrounds but also emphasized that Yan Luo was an abandoned child of the Yan family, while Fang Shi was the most favored grandson of the Fang family. The implications were obvious, it left plenty of room for wild speculation.
The post had been deleted countless times, only to be reposted again and again. The intent behind it was crystal clear.
Fang Shi’s temples throbbed with anger, but he forced himself to keep reading. He scrolled further down, where at first, the majority of the comments were led by trolls and keyboard warriors, directing their attacks solely at Yan Luo.
