As Qi Shuo found himself lost in thought, a flurry of messages flooded the group chat. Xu Yuan lashed out at him, "What's this about 'big news'? You called us, and then you said nothing? What a jerk!"
Though the others weren't as direct in their scolding, they weren't letting Qi Shuo off the hook either.
Quickly, he relayed the incident and reprimanded Xu Yuan for his impatience.
During this period, Xu Yuan had been focused on improving the MD building's security, and the others were temporarily staying there to assist.
Xia Rui, upon seeing Qi Shuo's message, chimed in, "Miss Song is seeking a lawyer to pursue a defamation lawsuit. It seems the rumors were unfounded."
"That's uncertain. Remember, Gu Chen and Miss Song were seen together at that banquet not long ago," Xu Yuan remarked with a glint of hope.
