Ye Xunhuan was clear about the state of Huangtu Group, and they were selling shoes, something you wear on your feet. How could someone get poisoned from that?

If it were food, that'd be another story, but this isn't food!

Qiu Ruoxi knew in her heart what Ye Xunhuan was saying, but it's useless if only she knows. Others need to believe it too!

"Let's go back and take a look first!" Qiu Ruoxi tried her best to remain calm.

Ye Xunhuan also knew the seriousness of the situation. Qiu Ruoxi relied on e-commerce, and if this incident couldn't be resolved perfectly, who would dare to continue buying things online from Huangtu Group in the future? It's asking for trouble!

Arriving at the company, they parked the car properly, and Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan immediately headed towards the company.

As soon as they entered the lobby, it was filled with reporters and other people, and outside the entrance of Huangtu Group, people held banners claiming Qiu Ruoxi was endangering lives!

Just as Qiu Ruoxi entered the lobby, someone suddenly shouted, "Qiu Ruoxi is over there..."

This abrupt shout instantly drew everyone's attention.

The next moment, everyone started closing in on Qiu Ruoxi. Camera flashes from reporters were incessantly directed at her, creating a flurry of lights.

"Miss Qiu, the shoes sold by your Huangtu Group allegedly poisoned customers. How do you view this incident?"

"Miss Qiu, does your company not conduct any checks when sourcing goods?"

"Miss Qiu..."

In an instant, the reporters were firing questions at Qiu Ruoxi like machine guns.

"Miss Qiu, once there was a deadly online purchase incident, one shoe resulted in 1 death, 7 poisonings. Now you're having similar issues..."

The questions from these reporters were more piercing than the last, some even referencing past incidents to exaggerate the situation!

Faced with this barrage of questions, Qiu Ruoxi's already frosty face turned even grimmer.

Mei Hanqing, who was initially attending to these reporters, was filled with unprecedented helplessness.

If Qiu Ruoxi didn't show up, everyone would target her, since she's the head of PR. But now that Qiu Ruoxi appeared, all attention naturally shifted to her.

Left aside, Mei Hanqing suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, please quiet down!"

The reporters paid no heed to Mei Hanqing and continued bombarding Qiu Ruoxi with questions, blocking the way.

"All of you shut the hell up!" Ye Xunhuan suddenly shouted.

The shout was like a tiger's roar, like rolling thunder, buzzing in everyone's ears, and the surroundings instantly quieted down.

Seeing the reporters quiet down, Qiu Ruoxi exhaled heavily and firmly said, "I know all of you reporter friends are concerned. I'll just say one thing!"

"It's a problem with our Huangtu Group, and I'll take full responsibility. But if someone is plotting against me behind the scenes, I will make them pay dearly!"

Hearing Qiu Ruoxi's bold yet responsible statement, all the reporters fell silent.

Seeing the reporters silent, Qiu Ruoxi spoke again: "Until the matter is thoroughly investigated, we will remain silent. Once there are results, we will invite you, the reporters, back!"

With that, Qiu Ruoxi said no more and went straight forward.

As she took a couple of steps, the reporters regained their senses and wanted to interview her again, but they were quickly stopped by the security, allowing Qiu Ruoxi to leave.

Meanwhile, in a villa in Jiangzhong City, Xu Mingzhe was watching the news about Huangtu Group circulating online, with a faint smile on his lips: "Qiu Ruoxi is in trouble this time!"

"Young master, who would be so despicable as to go after Qiu Ruoxi in such a sly way?" Black Ghost sat on the sofa opposite Xu Mingzhe, legs crossed, holding a Cuban cigar, looking all laid-back, almost as if he was the real young master!

Xu Mingzhe was long used to Black Ghost's demeanor and said indifferently, "Who do you think would dare do this to Qiu Ruoxi at this moment?"

"Yan Qingdi?"

"What do you think?" Xu Mingzhe smiled and said, "I certainly wouldn't dare. If Ye Xunhuan found out, he'd kill someone!"

"Besides, this method is just too underhanded!"

"Don't act like you're all high and mighty; you just didn't think of it!" Black Ghost sneered dismissively: "If you had thought of a way like this, you'd probably have used it already!"

Black Ghost's words seemed to expose Xu Mingzhe's true thoughts, making him blush slightly and then feigning anger: "Get lost!"

To this, Black Ghost chuckled, "Young master, how about a Cuban cigar? It's the most authentic Cuban cigar, and it's said to be rolled on young ladies' thighs. One puff and you'll be hard for half a day..."

"Maybe one of them was rolled on Qiu Ruoxi's thigh..."

Faced with Black Ghost's sudden change of topic, Xu Mingzhe glared at him: "Stop distracting me!"

"I just thought you seemed deep in thought. Have a smoke and think slowly!"

"Black Ghost, do you think Yan Qingdi did this?"

"How would I know!" Black Ghost replied without hesitation: "I'm not him. Besides, why do you care who did it? It has nothing to do with you!"

"Moreover, you and Qiu Ruoxi teamed up to plot against Yan Qingdi, and he hasn't even settled accounts with you yet!" Black Ghost said faintly: "I think you should consider how to face Yan Qingdi, otherwise when he comes after you, you'll be in trouble!"

"What trouble could I have; it's just business tactics." Xu Mingzhe snorted coldly: "Yan Qingdi is just too arrogant!"

"Come on, how did you find out about the VR glasses?"

"I..."

"Alright, young master, I think you should really consider how to face Yan Qingdi. I don't think falling out with Yan Qingdi is a good idea." Black Ghost said softly: "And if your father finds out you've been scheming against Yan Qingdi, he might ground you!"

"The bridges are already burned; saying more is pointless!" Xu Mingzhe said softly: "Now I should think about what to do if Qiu Ruoxi falls!"

"What else can you do? With your personality, you'd definitely kick her while she's down, and then capture her..."

"Idiot, do you think Ye Xunhuan is a decoration or an idiot?" Xu Mingzhe scolded harshly: "Go gather intel for me!"
