After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 254 No one can hurt you

That evening, Jiang Yichen learned about what had happened during the day and found me a professional legal team.

"Here," Jiang Yichen's slender fingers traced a line of densely packed text, "is a key clause concerning the defamation dispute."

My eyes were sore from reading for so long, and I tried to concentrate, but the obscure legal terminology still made me dizzy.

Jiang Yichen told me gently, "It's okay if you don't understand."

He turned to the legal team opposite him, "Could you please explain this in simpler terms?"

"Simply put, we need to prove that all of Ms. Gu's anti-counterfeiting actions are based on facts and supported by sufficient evidence."

Jiang Yichen nodded, then turned to me, "Do you remember those test reports you collected?"

My eyes lit up. "That's right! There are also consumer purchase records and complaint records!"

He gave an approving smile. "These are all strong pieces of evidence."

Jiang Yichen sat beside me the whole time, gently explaining things when I was confused and handing me a glass of warm water when I was tired.

Seeing his confident demeanor calmed me down, and watching him busy himself for me filled me with warmth. These past few days, he's not only been handling his own company affairs but also worrying about me; the dark circles under his eyes are clearly visible, and even his usually impeccably clean shirt is wrinkled.

"Are you tired?" I asked softly, getting up to pour him a cup of coffee.

He took the coffee and casually grasped my hand. "For you, it's worth it."

“We’ll win, won’t we?” I asked softly, a hint of uncertainty in my voice.

His voice was deep and firm as he said, "Of course, no one can hurt you."

The next day, I started preparing to send a lawyer's letter to the person who spread the rumors.

In the studio, Xu Sisi summarized the basic situation for me based on the information she had gathered from yesterday's meeting.

"Perfect, with these documents, let's send a lawyer's letter directly."

Xu Sisi said with surprise and helplessness, "A lawyer's letter? Looks like you were quite busy when you got home last night."

I nodded in agreement. "If those businesses don't stop their defamation and issue a public apology, they'll be facing lawsuits. We've gathered enough evidence to make them pay."

Little Sweetie asked with a worried look, "What about the recent live streams?"

"We still need to keep going. Although it was shut down last time, thankfully it wasn't for long."

Xu Sisi immediately agreed, "This time, let's choose the facial cleanser; it's the one that got the most likes on that video."

"good.''

However, Xu Sisi continued, "Legal means might be too slow, and what if it gets blocked again?" Her voice still carried a hint of weariness.

Little Sweetie added, "But it's too dangerous to investigate directly, like what happened last time."

I stood up and looked at the tall buildings in the distance, like silent giants.

“We can’t stop,” I turned to her, my voice firm. “Our fans are still waiting for us. We’ve received over a dozen complaints today, all about skin problems after using fake skincare products.”

Xu Sisi sighed, walked over, and took my hand. "I'll stay with you."

Little Sweetie wanted to go too, but I stopped her. I told her to stay in the studio and monitor the account and comments at any time.

The next morning, accompanied by the bodyguard given to him by his grandmother, he followed the clues provided by his fans and arrived at a remote industrial park on the outskirts of the city. The pungent smell of chemicals hit him, making him feel nauseous.

“This is it,” I said, lowering my voice as I checked the address on my phone, “the shipping location for that 'authentic product reseller'.”

Xu Sisi glanced around warily. "Be careful, there are security cameras over there."

We hid behind the shipping containers, watching the workers pour substandard raw materials into the mixer and then fill them into bottles printed with big brand logos.

I secretly turned on my phone to record a video, but my hands were shaking.

Xu Sisi gripped my arm tightly, and I could feel her trembling. "Go, go quickly."

We tiptoed out, only to bump into the metal barrel behind us.

"Who's there?" a sharp shout rang out.

Xu Sisi and I exchanged a glance, then took off running. We heard hurried footsteps and shouts behind us, and my heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of my chest.

We ran for our lives and hid behind a container. Xu Sisi was pale and her voice was still trembling, "It was too dangerous, we almost..."

I gripped my phone tightly; it contained the evidence I had just recorded. "But it was worth it."

"Don't run!" A rough male voice echoed in the empty warehouse.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of my chest, and my palms were sweating profusely. Just then, Xu Sisi accidentally knocked over a cardboard box next to her.

“Over there!” Footsteps immediately approached us.

"Run!" I grabbed Xu Sisi and rushed towards the exit.

A flurry of footsteps and shouts came from behind, "Stop! Don't run!"

My strength gradually gave out, my breathing became rapid, and my vision began to darken.

"Sister!" A familiar voice suddenly rang out.

I looked up and saw Gu Bai rushing in with several bodyguards. He grabbed me and said, "Quick, let's go!"

The bodyguards quickly blocked our path, stopping the warehouse staff who were chasing after us. Gu Bai pulled Xu Sisi and me, and we ran outside.

"Why are you here?" I asked breathlessly.

"I saw that there were too many trolls in your live stream, so I asked Xiaotiantian, and she said you came to the warehouse." Gu Bai said as he ran.

We rushed out of the warehouse and jumped into the waiting car. The car sped away, and I leaned back in my seat, feeling my whole body trembling.

"Don't tell Jiang Yichen," I whispered.

He frowned. "Why? He should know."

“I don’t want him to worry.” I closed my eyes.

Gu Bai sighed and said nothing more.

When I got home, before I could even catch my breath, he rushed back. He looked serious, his eyes filled with worry, and he walked straight toward me.

"Do you know how worried I was today? You must never do anything so dangerous again. What would I do if something happened to you?" His voice trembled slightly, and he held my hands tightly, as if afraid that I would disappear if he let go.

Seeing his nervous expression, my heart softened immediately: "I know I was wrong. From now on, no matter what happens, I'll tell you first, and I'll never let you worry about me again."

"But how did you know?"

I asked him with a serious expression, thinking to myself, "Didn't my brother already agree? Could it be a bodyguard?"

"Are these bodyguards just for show?"

I said guiltily, "Haha."

I lowered my head, realizing I had almost forgotten.

He breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted my head: "Are you alright?"

I looked up at him with unwavering reliance: "It's alright! Sisi, Gu Bai is here."

"OK then."

Afterwards, we sat side by side on the sofa and discussed the next steps. Jiang Yichen agreed to let me continue the live stream and supported my efforts to clarify the situation.
