o see them earlier, she had been somewhat hesitant because she hadn't contacted her parents directly in those six years. But now that her father was seriously ill, it made sense for her to return, and...Chapter 392 Public Opinion Offensive

Upon seeing the title, Leng Bingbing felt something was amiss. When she saw a photo below the title, her expression couldn't help but change; it was such a familiar face—it was herself!

Leng Bingbing quickly read through the report in record time, and her face grew increasingly grim. At this point, she finally understood why so many people at the police station were looking at her strangely.

The所謂的 corrupt official's illegitimate daughter mentioned in the report was none other than Leng Bingbing herself, while the corrupt official referred to was none other than He Yunshan, who had already been taken into custody for his crimes as a former vice-provincial governor.

Previously, although many people knew that there was an extraordinary relationship between Leng Bingbing and He Yunshan, few truly understood their connection. There were even rumors circulating that Leng Bingbing was He Yunshan's mistress before he was arrested. Even after He Yunshan’s arrest, the fact that Leng Bingbing was his illegitimate daughter had not been exposed.

But now, long after He Yunshan's case had come to a conclusion, their relationship had mysteriously surfaced in the newspaper. Clearly, this report wasn't targeting the former vice-provincial governor who was already serving time; rather, it aimed at Leng Bingbing, the deputy director of Dong District Bureau.

What made Leng Bingbing furious was that not only did the article expose her blood ties to He Yunshan, but it also portrayed her deceased mother as a vain woman who sought favors from high officials. Furthermore, the report didn't shy away from personal attacks against Leng Bingbing herself; on one hand, it accused her of using He Yunshan's connections to rise through the ranks at the police station, and on the other hand, it insinuated that she had found a new protector after He Yunshan’s arrest, leveraging her beauty and physique to attach herself to another high-ranking official!

In summary, although this report contains some factual information, such as Cold Bingbing indeed being the illegitimate daughter of He Yunshan and her rapid promotion, it is predominantly full of baseless accusations and defamations against her. It can be expected that most people who see such a report would believe its contents.

"Director, should we give them a call at the newspaper" asked Tong Jiang carefully.

"No need," said Cold Bingbing indifferently. "Go back to work, it's just an uninteresting article; there’s no need to pay attention."

"But, Director, isn't this too irresponsible of them How can they spread unfounded rumors" Tong Jiang seemed somewhat aggrieved on behalf of Cold Bingbing.

“If you call them up, tomorrow I’ll be back on the front page with a headline like 'Director Threatens Journalists.' " Cold Bingbing glanced at Tong Jiang. “Don’t make things worse for me by doing anything.”

Even though she wished to give two slaps or even shoot the person who made these groundless claims, she knew better than to react publicly against such a report. It would be more effective not to respond and let it pass. So, despite her anger, she decided to ignore the article as if nothing had happened.

"Alright then, Director, I'll go back to work now." Seeing that Cold Bingbing was not interested in pursuing this matter further, Tong Jiang naturally did not insist; besides, he felt that making a call wouldn’t make much difference since he was just an officer.

Tong Jiang had just left when Leng Bingbing received a call, which turned out to be from Zhao Qingqing.

No sooner had she picked up the phone than Zhao Qingqing was shouting anxiously on the other end: "Sister Bingbing, something terrible has happened! Quickly check out Dog Pounce Forum and Sea Corner Forum..."

Zhao Qingqing spoke so fast that she listed more than ten forum names in one breath, all of which were high-traffic forums with a large number of visitors.

"Why do I need to look at these forums" Leng Bingbing was puzzled because she didn't particularly enjoy browsing forums and wasn't an internet user very often.

"Sister Bingbing, you just have to take a look first. I can't explain it clearly now, but once you see it, you'll understand!" Zhao Qingqing sounded quite anxious. "I've got to go now; I'm busy cursing those damn fools!"

Zhao Qingqing hung up the phone immediately after saying that. Although Leng Bingbing was a bit confused, she quickly turned on her office computer and checked out the forums Zhao Qingqing mentioned. Her normally cold and beautiful face soon turned icy-cold, and her beautiful eyes radiated with anger.

"The Path to Becoming an Attractive Policewoman!"

"A Concubine Born from a Corrupt Official's Past, Now a Toy for a High-ranking Official! The No. 1 policewoman of Jianghai has become an object of entertainment!"

...

These eye-catching titles appeared in the most prominent positions on those forums. Although the titles of these popular online posts were different, their content was exactly the same as what Ling Bingbing had just seen in the Jianghai Express regarding her.

What infuriated Ling Bingbing the most wasn't the main post's content; after all, she had already read it in the newspaper. What truly pushed her to the brink was the comments section below each post. Each thread had over a hundred replies, and these replies included personal information about her such as her home address and her mother’s name. However, there were also many baseless claims that didn't exist, like the identity of the so-called high-ranking official who supported her.

The names of this supposed high-ranking official varied across different comment threads—some Ling Bingbing had never even heard of—while many more comments were filled with obscene language and vicious attacks against her.

With a loud crack, Ling Bingbing smashed the computer monitor with a single shot, shattering it into pieces. Finally unable to hold back any longer, she unleashed her anger on this innocent computer.

Jianghai Express office.

A little past ten in the morning, Han Jian calmly entered the newspaper office. Although he was well beyond his working hours, no one in the office questioned his tardiness; there was only one reason for this—Han Jian was the chief reporter of the paper.

"Brother Han! Brother Han! You're simply amazing! Your report is once again on the front page!" As soon as he entered, Han Jian heard a melodious voice and felt a waft of fragrance. A pretty young girl appeared in front of him.

"It's nothing special. Just a little thing," Han Jian replied casually but was secretly pleased by her adoring gaze.

Three years ago, Han Jian was an obscure junior reporter working for a small publication. But after joining the Jianghai Express, he only took two years to become the chief reporter. Now, even the editor-in-chief treated him with respect; many new hires regarded him as their idol.

The girl before his eyes is named Fang Chan. She had just graduated from university and had been working at the newspaper for less than two months, yet she was already very impressed by Han Jian and often sought his advice to learn from his experiences.

As he quickly glanced over her graceful figure, Han Jian felt a stirring desire within him. He thought it best to find an opportunity to share some "experience" with the fresh graduate—though not in the office but somewhere more private.

"Brother Han, I read your report and am truly in awe of you! You always expose society's darkness; you are the most righteous journalist in our newspaper, no, in all of Jianghai City!" Fang Chan looked at him with admiration, seemingly unaware that she had become his target. Of course, she might be quite happy to be his target. Han Jian was not bad-looking for a man in his thirties. He was a successful and mature man who was very attractive to women these days.

"Fang Chan, what you said is a bit exaggerated. Our newspaper's reporters are all very righteous. Many journalists in Jianghai City are working hard to expose social darkness, and I am just one of them."

"Clap clap clap..." Fang Chan clapped her hands, "Brother Han, you've spoken so well! Truly worthy of being our newspaper's top reporter!"

The other people in the office couldn't help but look over. Several male reporters had envious looks in their eyes, while some others appeared rather unconvinced. This Han Jian was pretending to be cool and deceiving naive girls again.

Han Jian's career at the newspaper was flourishing, so it would be impossible for there not to be jealousy. However, though they were jealous, they couldn't deny that this guy had a knack for finding sensational news topics, which often led his reports to占據頭版頭條。

"Fang Chan, what you said is not quite right. There's no such thing as chief reporters in our newspaper. We're all elites of the Jianghai Express Newspaper," Han Jian began to be modest at this moment. It was said that being humble was a virtue, and Han Jian occasionally exhibited this virtue.

But his manner only made Fang Chan admire him even more: "Brother Han, you are so humble! I'm increasingly in awe of you!"

"I want you to be in awe of me," thought Han Jian secretly. If things continued like this, this beautiful girl would end up admiring him into his bed. now.However, Qian Duoduo felt it was normal for Song Yumei not to like him, but logically speaking, wouldn't it be unlikely for Song Yumei to like Summer Even more so, becoming Summer's wife The most...
