Su Lan felt she was deliberately given minor roles, suspecting Qin Miaomiao was targeting her. She later met with Huang Shan, inquiring about other high-status individuals and expressing concern about Mo Wenwan's ability to challenge Qin Miaomiao. Huang Shan questioned if Qin Miaomiao was the sole target, mentioning Lu Qing as well.

With resolute words and a piercing gaze, she addressed Qin Miaomiao, voicing her long-held sentiments: "Huang Shan, I've come to propose a partnership. If you can't deliver what I require, I believe further cooperation is pointless. I know you despise Qin Miaomiao as well; I can assist you in achieving your desires, and in return, you must help me obtain mine."

"I understand your deepest wishes – I can help tarnish Qin Miaomiao's reputation, and you, in turn, must help damage the reputations of her artists."

Huang Shan absorbed Su Lan's clear pronouncements, her mind finally finding a measure of peace upon confirming Su Lan's earnest intentions. A smile then graced her lips as she replied, "I accept, but shouldn't you offer a token of goodwill first? How else can I gauge your sincerity?"

At this juncture, a subtle shift in sentiment occurred, their gazes meeting with unspoken curiosity. Su Lan then tilted her head, responding, "You shall soon receive my token of sincerity."

Huang Shan, brimming with expectation, received word from Xu Jiaojiao the very next day.

"Relationship turmoil sparks separation... The celebrated actress Xu Jiaojiao and her boyfriend face intrusion by a third party, their relationship teetering on the brink."

Perusing this headline, Huang Shan's lips curved into a triumphant smirk. "Su Lan certainly moves with remarkable speed, delivering such a swift surprise," she murmured to herself.

Xu Jiaojiao, upon discovering the exposure of her private affairs, was deeply distressed. She couldn't comprehend the identity of the informant, with the paparazzi being her sole suspected culprits.

This troubling revelation left her feeling intensely displeased, even disinclined to take the cold medicine offered by her assistant. A wave of anger washed over her as she recalled her lost connection with Jin Jing, her mood plummeting further, unable to shake off the pervasive sense of unease. Ultimately, after much reflection, she arrived at a confirmed conclusion.

"Hand me my phone," she commanded.

Her assistant, observing Xu Jiaojiao's pale complexion, earnestly met her gaze and stated, "Sister Jiaojiao, try not to dwell on it. It must have been those unscrupulous paparazzi who leaked the information."

"If it were the paparazzi, then so be it. I am concerned... never mind, I shall contact President Qin to inquire."

Qin Miaomiao, perusing the entertainment headlines and the ensuing netizen commentary, felt a growing disquiet. The more she considered the matter, the more she recognized the peculiar timeliness of the exposé, and finally noted the oddly sensational nature of the news.

"Jiaojiao... my apologies, I've only just become aware of this. Rest assured, I will ascertain the identity of the leaker, regardless of whether they are a member of the press. Please focus on your work for now... Yes, let us leave it at that for the moment."

A deep dissatisfaction settled upon Qin Miaomiao, yet she found no immediate avenue to vent her frustration. Consequently, she resorted to her usual practice of seeking out the individual with the most comprehensive intelligence.

"Assist me in investigating the source of the headline news concerning Xu Jiaojiao today. Whether it was a member of the paparazzi or a private individual, I need to know."

These words signaled a cascade of changes. From a general cloud of suspicion to specific conjectures, a multitude of parties could potentially have targeted Xu Jiaojiao. Furthermore, vulnerabilities in emotional matters surfaced readily, coupled with news detailing circumstances that eerily mirrored reality, leaving her thoroughly perplexed.

"The details were presented with such specificity, as if the person responsible was standing right beside Xu Jiaojiao. The meticulous exposure implies that an individual is the most likely suspect."

Qin Miaomiao delved into these considerations, entirely unaware that Jin Jing, upon witnessing the news, was overcome with anger. He remained ignorant of Xu Jiaojiao's intended course of action regarding this crisis, nor did he grasp her underlying sentiments. After careful deliberation, he resolved to seek out Xu Jiaojiao personally to address the situation.
