Chapter 868: Chapter 867 Can’t Delay Any Longer

The other party not only leaked the information but also released credible photos.

Indeed, there was a photo of an older-looking woman whose gaze at Yeqian seemed off, bordering on lasciviously sinister, which made it rather sickening to look at.

From the photos, Yeqian appeared to be no older than fifteen, with his face still showing traces of youthfulness.

There were no ambiguous interactions or movements between the two, but perhaps due to the angle, it seemed somewhat intimate. Yeqian’s face clearly showed unhappiness, his brows tightly furrowed.

Qiao Xiaren felt a pang of alarm in her heart, as she was truly unaware of such incidents, and quickly made a phone call to Brother Wu to get some clarity on these photos.

Brother Wu was also frantic, “Don’t even mention it. You know how dirty this circle can be. A couple of years ago, during a business dinner, a perverted wealthy woman took a liking to Yeqian. Of course, I didn’t agree, but I didn’t expect that these photos would still be dug up by someone with ulterior motives. It’s like when it rains it pours, and now I can’t even find Yeqian. I’m afraid this is going to turn into a major disaster.”

Hearing Brother Wu say this, Qiao Xiaren breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Yeqian had a responsible agent looking out for him over the years; otherwise, who knows what his life would have turned into — it’s too frightening to contemplate.

Meanwhile, the fan circles were once again shaken.

Nobody believed it, nor could they.

At the moment, Qiao Xiaren was still in the resting room, and when Si Limo walked in, her complexion seemed heavy.

“Things might get even bigger.”

Si Limo sat down and held her palm, “Ranran, you might need to be mentally prepared. Yeqian’s matter can’t be delayed any longer.”

“I was thinking the same thing. Now, the situation has escalated so severely, and the truth about his background can’t be delayed much longer.” Qiao Xiaren’s hand trembled slightly as she redialed Yeqian’s number, still getting the notification that the phone was turned off.

Now, Yeqian had either disappeared without reason or was deliberately avoiding showing up.

And his absence for three days had gradually led to a sense of disappointment among his fans.

Online, there were continuous shouts, “Yeqian, come out; as long as you come out, we will believe you, stand by you!”

It was almost like a heartbreaking message from the fans.

They were tired, constantly fighting one-sided battles, but their idol was nowhere to be seen, leaving them not only cold-hearted but also starting to believe that the rumors might indeed be true.

Otherwise, Yeqian would have come out to clarify.

These days, they had been fighting against those who maligned him, hoping their idol would come out and explain. As long as Yeqian showed up and gave an explanation, they would definitely believe him!

But after waiting for three days, there still wasn’t any news of Yeqian showing up.

Many fans, heartbroken, left the forums and all other public platforms, no longer following these distressing events. The news got hotter and hotter, but the real person involved had seemingly evaporated from the face of the earth, without a trace.

Qiao Family

Upon seeing these reports, Bai Qiuqing found them more and more satisfying.

Leaving the entertainment industry was of no consequence; as long as Yeqian was gone, she would quickly find him and take her revenge on that bastard.

Just after putting down the magazines and newspapers the servant had brought, the phone rang. Checking the caller ID, Bai Qiuqing hit the answer button.

“What’s up?”

“Mrs. Qiao, about the payment you promised me earlier, when exactly will it be settled?” A middle-aged man’s voice came from the other end of the phone–this person was none other than the old director of the orphanage where Yeqian had been.
