Urban God-level Youth

Zhao Yuying spoke up, "Xiao Hao, aren't you going to explain yourself?"

Qin Hao paused for a moment, a smile spreading across his face, "Ms. Ying, you're really clever, I had almost forgotten to do that."

By normal logical thinking, after such a big incident, an explanation would be expected, especially in the absence of evidence.

He opened Wei Yan and saw that it was full of insults, many of which came from paid trolls, and quite a few people were egging them on.

After thinking for a bit, Qin Hao wrote a few sentences: Since I, Qin Hao, founded Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant, I have never done anything to betray my conscience. As for the things being spread online, all I can say is that someone is deliberately distorting the truth.

The Zhou Island Delegation indeed wanted to purchase seismographs, but Zhou Island is a part of Xuan Country, and Xuan Country's seismographs will monitor the earthquakes in Zhou Island.

In matters of territorial sovereignty, I, Qin Hao, have never been ambiguous.

Perhaps some people are jealous of my company, some are envious of the money I've earned. I'll leave them with a saying: "A rumor ends with the wise."

His words could be considered an attempt at clearing his name, a standard tactic.

Of course, many fans believed him, for everything from the health-beneficial Jiangshan Roasted Duck to Xinghui Wine and cancer-fighting drugs, etc.

The products sold by Qin Hao's company were all made with conscience and were also reasonably priced.

How could he possibly be a traitor to Xuan Country? It must be that Qin Hao's prominence was too great, and someone wanted to deal with him.

Still, quite a few people believed in him.

But not long after, Zheng Li from the Zhou Island Delegation replied: Are all the netizens of Xuan Country raised on crap?

Mr. Qin, how did dealing with us constitute treason? We had everything agreed upon, Mr. Qin, how could you go back on your word?

You said you didn't promise us? Then bring out the surveillance footage from that time; we have videos and recordings, the price was already set, and I had even secured approval from the higher-ups.

A single statement led to a thousand ripples.

Zheng Li's words caused quite a stir: "Right, there should be surveillance in the meeting room. Mr. Qin just needs to show that for his innocence."

"Yeah, if you're innocent, show the surveillance footage to prove it."

Many fans hoped he could produce the video, as the situation was developing as the person behind the scenes had envisioned.

Because the person behind the scenes knew that Qin Hao had no video at all, and if Qin Hao couldn't produce the video, it would only make people more suspicious.

Qin Hao replied on Wei Yan: There was a slight issue with this afternoon's surveillance, so the video everyone is asking for isn't available.

"Heh, after all this time you don't have any strong evidence?"

"How could it be such a coincidence? Just the footage from this afternoon is missing?"

"Exactly, things are too coincidental, there are no such coincidences in the world."

"I was somewhat inclined to believe you, but now your company's own video surveillance isn't available, who are you trying to fool?"

"Heh, traitor, stop making excuses."

Suddenly, the insults flared up again. Qin Hao did not reply anymore, as the person behind the scenes had likely achieved the desired effect, as had he.

…

Inside the study, Zhao Yuying looked at him with confusion, "Xiao Hao, why didn't you release the video?"

Qin Hao replied, "Ms. Ying, it's better if this matter remains between you and me, don't tell a third person. I have a plan."

Zhao Yuying felt a touch of emotion and nodded, "Mm, I understand Xiao Hao."

After stepping out of the study, Qin Hao finally had the chance to take those people's calls.

Xu Siyao said, "Xiao Hao, I've already called my grandfather and told him the ins and outs of the situation."

Qin Hao responded, "It's okay Si Yao, I can handle it."

Even if Xu Liangguo knew about the incident, without evidence to dispel the rumors for Qin Hao, it wouldn't be of much use.

The calls he received were all from his own people; outsiders no longer dared to call Qin Hao now, as they did not want to be tainted by that accusation.

In the evening, Xu Liangguo arrived in Jinchen City and made a phone call to Qin Hao, "Xiao Hao, do you have a solution?"

Qin Hao, "Mr. Xu, I'll send you a video..."

He transferred a surveillance video from the conference room to Xu Liangguo. After seeing it, Xu Liangguo's face lit up with joy, knowing that Qin Hao wouldn't be taken down so easily.

Although Qin Hao was young, he was extremely cautious in his actions.

Xu Liangguo watched the video on his phone and sneered to himself, No matter who you are this time, I'll have to drag you out.

To beat a dog, one must look at its master, let alone when it's my son-in-law.

Sitting on the sofa, Qin Hao watched the television while Han Meng massaged his shoulders, which felt very comfortable.

Zhao Yuying was beside him, and suddenly, Qin Hao's phone rang. He picked it up, glanced at it, and answered, "Miss Silin, what made you think to call me?"

Smiling, Silin Ross said, "Mr. Qin, I've heard about your situation. Have you considered developing in the Northern Federation? If you want, I could arrange for you to come over tonight."

Qin Hao, "No need, Miss Silin. I'm doing quite well in my own country."

Silin Ross, "In the eyes of our Ross family, what's more important is the family, not the country."

Qin Hao, "Different upbringing, different thoughts."

Silin, "Well then, Mr. Qin, I hope you get through this difficult time without affecting our cooperation."

"That last point must be the main thing, right?" replied Qin Hao with a faint smile.

Laughing, Silin said, "True, after all, we've invested so much money, and my concern is sincere."

"Then thank you, Miss Silin."

"You're welcome, good luck."

At this moment, Qiao'er walked out of the bedroom. She ran over with a smile and said, "Dad, are you bothered by something?"

"Not at all," Qin Hao replied, a bit taken aback.

Qiao'er, "Liar, I can tell. Dad didn't smile at all today."

Qin Hao looked startled; he did feel rather vexed, but he hadn't expected even Qiao'er to notice it.

Qiao'er said with a smile, "Dad, my teacher said that happy or not, the day goes on, so why not spend it happily?"

"Mmhmm, Dad's fine now," Qin Hao said with a smile.

Qiao'er, "Then, can Dad sleep with me tonight? It's been so long since you slept with Qiao'er."

Han Meng's cheeks turned red in an instant, and she lowered her head to massage without daring to look at Qin Hao and Zhao Yuying.

Qin Hao, "That won't do, Qiao'er. You're already grown up, so how can you still sleep with Dad?"

Pouting, Qiao'er said, "But I want to sleep with Dad."

Smiling, Zhao Yuying said, "Qiao'er, how about Aunt Ying sleeps with you? Dad is quite busy and still has things to do."

"Well, okay then."

After watching TV for a while, Qin Hao went upstairs. He lay on the lounge chair on the balcony and sighed deeply.

To be honest, he was somewhat repulsed by the scheming and use of dark conspiracies; a sense of barely concealed weariness lay deep in his eyes.

Why is it so hard to do a good deed?

Had it not been for the switch to smart surveillance, I'm afraid the outcome would have been entirely different.

A tarnished reputation, lifelong imprisonment.

With his capabilities, the country would never let him leave. Thinking of all this, he sighed deeply once more.

"If you're feeling tired, just take a good rest," Zhao Yuying said from behind him, her voice soft.
