111: Chapter 111 Right of Reputation

"You! You! Why are you standing so close to me for no reason?"

Wu Ya hadn't expected him to have such a violent reaction.

She froze for a moment before asking, "I didn't even kiss you, is this really necessary?"

Chen Guangke's face turned beet red with embarrassment.

"E-e-e-even if you didn't, you still shouldn't be this close to me!"

Wu Ya was speechless.

"Fine, fine, fine. I won't get that close to you, alright?"

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed through Shen Yan's heart.

"Actually, I didn't mean it like that..."

Wu Ya didn't hear him; her attention was still on the video.

"So, you're the one who posted this video?"

"How did you know Chen Ling was bullying someone in the coffee shop?"

Chen Guangke answered honestly, "I didn't know. Old Shen told me about it and gave me the video. He just asked me to upload the surveillance footage."

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Shen Yan had just arrived near their workstations.

"You two are slacking off right out in the open."

Chen Guangke rolled his eyes.

"I'm not slacking off. I'm finishing the work you assigned me."

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Haven't you finished it already?"

As soon as he woke up this morning, he saw the notification for the successful mission and received an advanced wealth intelligence.

"I've uploaded the surveillance footage, but just uploading it isn't enough. I have to make sure people actually see it."

"And look, thanks to my hard work, many people have seen the video and are strongly condemning that behavior!"

Chen Guangke spoke plausibly while wearing a look of schadenfreude.

"Yes, yes, you deserve the most credit. I have to go out for a bit this afternoon, so keep an eye on the public opinion for me. Don't let her suppress the trending topic."

Chen Guangke gave a mock salute and replied seriously, "No problem, you can count on me!"

After finishing his instructions, Shen Yan set off to find He Yunri.

Although he had planned to wait a week after the software's launch to see He Yunri, he had something he wanted to discuss now and couldn't wait that long.

Unexpectedly, he didn't find He Yunri at the Private Villa.

"Where is Mr. He?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, the butler replied, "Mr. He hasn't stayed overnight at the Private Villa for the past few days. Why don't you try contacting him?"

Shen Yan had already tried, but He Yunri hadn't replied.

"Never mind. Since he's not here, I'll head back for today."

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

The messages Shen Yan sent to He Yunri were like stones sinking into the ocean; he received no response.

Just as he was finding it very strange, he received a call from an unknown number.

"Hello, who is this?"

"It's me, Xiao Tang."

Shen Yan's brow arched slightly.

"Oh, it's you. Is there something you need help with?"

Xiao Tang seemed to be crying, her voice choking up.

"President Shen, could I trouble you to take down that surveillance footage?"

As soon as she said this, Shen Yan immediately sensed something was wrong.

"What happened?"

"Are you being harassed?"

Xiao Tang burst into loud sobs on the other end of the line.

"Don't ask anymore, I'm begging you. Please take down that surveillance footage, or I'll really kill myself!"

With those words, the call was disconnected.

When Shen Yan tried to call back, Xiao Tang's phone wouldn't go through at all.

Fearing something might happen, Shen Yan grabbed his phone and rushed to the coffee shop.

This time, his timing was perfect.

The manager was in the coffee shop.

"Hello, Manager. Is Xiao Tang here right now?"

The manager looked bewildered.

"She came by last time to process her resignation. How could she still be here?"

As she spoke, she noticed something was off.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to Xiao Tang?"

Shen Yan told the manager what had been said during the phone call.

"She must be being harassed!"

The manager was incredibly indignant.

"Over the last two days, our shop received a Lawyer's Letter from that woman's company. They're saying they're going to sue us."

Hearing this, Shen Yan frowned.

"She even sent you a Lawyer's Letter?"

The manager nodded and added, "But I haven't taken it to heart at all. I've already consulted a lawyer, and even if they sue us, the most they can charge us with is Defamation."

"Even with Defamation, they might not necessarily win because they have no evidence to prove that this surveillance footage was leaked by us."

"In short, there's no need to worry about things on my end. The one we should be worried about is Xiao Tang."

"She might have been harassed by people that woman sent."

Shen Yan hummed in agreement and followed up, "Then do you know where Xiao Tang lives?"

The manager thought for a moment and ran to the back to look through the registration records.

"Every Employee who joins my shop fills out an identity registration form. Her address is... here!"

Shen Yan took a look. The address on the form was less than ten minutes away from the coffee shop.

"Alright, I'll go find her now."

Seeing him about to leave, the manager hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't be in such a rush. Wait for me, I'll go with you."

Shen Yan was a bit taken aback.

"But your shop is still open for business..."

The manager waved her hand dismissively.

"Don't worry about it, my Employees are all here."

"Just give me a moment. I'll pack up my things and go with you."

Shen Yan didn't object.

Fifteen minutes later, the two arrived at their destination.

*Knock knock knock!*

*Knock knock knock!*

"It's no good. There's no sound at all from inside. Could she not be home?"

"Should we call the police?"

Shen Yan shook his head and replied, "She hasn't been missing for forty-eight hours yet, so even if we call the police, it won't help. Let's look around nearby and see if we can find the landlord of this house."

Just as he finished speaking, a strange man brushed past them and walked straight to the door.

"Hello, are you the landlord?"

The other party turned around with a confused expression.

"What landlord? I'm the Tenant of this house!"

The Tenant?!

Shen Yan and the manager looked at each other.

"Then do you know a girl named Tang Yu?"

The man shook his head.

"I don't know her. You must have the wrong person."

The manager pursed her lips and asked again, "When did you move into this house?"

The man glanced at the manager, then at Shen Yan.

"I've lived here for almost two years."

"I don't know any Tang Yu. You've got the wrong person!"

The manager didn't believe what the man said. She reached out toward him and said, "Give me your landlord's contact information. I'll go ask the landlord myself.""}],
