I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

Zheng Qiuyi nestled in Qin Ge's arms, playing on her phone. She came across a short video, her beautiful eyes widening as she nuzzled her head against Qin Ge's chest. "Look! A big star is speaking up for Xiao Luo!"

"I never expected Yang Manni to be so bold. She's much better than many of those hypocritical so-called big shots. I'm a fan now!"

"Not everyone in this industry knows how to protect themselves; there are still some people with a conscience. I just didn't expect Yang Manni to be the first."

"Who did you say?" Qin Ge wasn't really interested, but the name Zheng Qiuyi mentioned sounded familiar.

He took the phone and examined it closely. "Is it her?"

"What do you mean, 'her'?" Zheng Qiuyi turned around, her face showing surprise. "You know her?"

"It's not your old flame again, is it?"

"Why did you say 'again'?" Qin Ge pinched Zheng Qiuyi's chin. "I'm not familiar with her, but I think I beat her up before!"

"This big star might have been putting on airs before, but has he had a change of heart and changed his ways?"

Zheng Qiuyi blinked. "What did you use to beat them up?"

She reached down and grabbed it gently, then raised an eyebrow at Qin Ge.

Qin Ge paused for half a second, then chuckled, "You've been unstoppable once you've been 'developed,' haven't you?"

"It's as yellow and oily as a salted duck egg!"

"I see, looks like you're still not full..."

"I didn't!" Zheng Qiuyi quickly surrendered.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

In the evening, Le Fei appeared like a whirlwind, phone in hand, shouting, "Something's happened! Something terrible has happened!"

"Beijing is under lockdown!"

Seeing that Qin Ge's expression didn't change, she stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder, and shook him. "I told you, Beidu is under lockdown, didn't you hear me?"

"I heard you, I'm not deaf." Qin Ge picked up Le Fei and placed her on the seat next to him. "So what if the city is under lockdown? What's the panic?"

"That's true, why should I panic..." Le Fei relaxed, then looked at Qin Ge in surprise, "Wait, why didn't you even ask why the city was locked down?"

"Why does it feel like you already knew the city would be locked down?"

Qin Ge nodded, "That's right, I knew it a long time ago, but it was just a guess before."

"That flu can't be cured in a short time. To prevent it from spreading nationwide, we can only restrict the movement of patients until we find a cure!"

"It's fine when no one is dying, but once there are deaths, we have to take tougher measures."

Whether or not a city is locked down depends on whether a targeted vaccine or effective treatment can be developed before the situation gets out of control.

"The fact that the city is under lockdown means that there's not much that can be done about the virus for the time being, so there's nothing to be alarmed about."

"Any movement from the Zhao family?"

"Aren't they the best at this? Now's the time to get them; it's time for them to step up and show their skills!"

Le Fei shook her head. "There's nothing unusual going on, so they probably don't have any solutions."

"You can't even cure that flu?"

Qin Ge shook his head, "It's incurable!"

"It's not that it's untreatable; treating them one by one is possible, but it's a bit laborious."

"If there are too many people, there's nothing I can do; I'm not a god."

"Unless there's a specific treatment available, we shouldn't just mass-produce them!"

Le Fei pressed further, "Is that so?"

Qin Ge smiled. "You really have faith in me. It will happen!"

"You're not human!" Le Fei laughed too. "Did you also guess that the Qingyin app would be taken down and restricted?"

"What did you say?" Qin Ge was no longer calm. "Do you really think I'm a god? That I know everything?"

"When did this happen, and what was the reason?"

Le Fei tried to suppress her smile, but couldn't. "So you're not that amazing after all. You didn't even guess this, so why are you pretending to be so calm!"

"It's just the official announcement. The announcement said something about spreading illegal information or something similar. After multiple reports, it was taken down for rectification. No deadline was given."

"However, there are alternatives to this type of app on the market, and besides, Qingyin isn't the industry leader. Even a three-to-five-day shutdown would be fatal!"

Qin Ge narrowed his eyes slightly. "That's quite a move. Someone's getting restless and is getting serious!"

"Something's happened! Qingyin isn't working!" Zheng Qiuyi rushed over, phone in hand. "I just dozed off for a bit and woke up to find the app inaccessible!"

"What's with the results of 'removed' or 'restricted' usage on other platforms?"

"After Yang Manni posted the video, it finally attracted more attention. Several celebrities, whether out of a change of heart or pressure from their fans, also started to show up."

"Then, just when things were looking great, the platform disappeared—what a blatant act of sabotaging its foundation!"

"Which bastard is so capable?!"

"I'm telling you something very serious, can you at least give me some response?"

"You knew all along? Why didn't you tell me!"

Le Fei explained, "We just found out too, and we're talking about it right now!"

She recalled Qin Ge's earlier words, "It seems that Yang Manni's actions have made some people restless. They couldn't block or delete the content, so they decided to take drastic measures and destroy the platform!"

"They're really capable; they shut down such a big platform just like that!"

"It's no exaggeration to say that ordinary people would be left with nothing but bones if they were given food by them!"

"It's alright. The darker it is, the closer we are to the light!" Qin Ge stood up. "Maybe it's not just Yang Manni and the others. Qingyi and the others may have also gained something in Mo City, which pushed them to their limits."

"I'm going to make a phone call."

......

Jiangcheng.

"What kind of bullshit violation is this? They can't even come up with a decent reason. We're way more legitimate than other platforms!"

"Isn't it because they couldn't suppress the matter of Xu Xiaoluo?"

"If you can't handle the game, don't play. What kind of person flips the table like that!"

Secretary Dai Qing, enraged, blurted out, "President Chu, what should we do now?"

"Wait." Chu Hongxiu rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Just do our job. This matter has now gone beyond the scope of business and is beyond our control."

"The boss asked us to do these things, so he must have foreseen this outcome and probably already had a plan."

"Hopefully he can resolve this; we have no choice but to trust him!"

"President Chu, our boss has such great courage!" Dai Qing exclaimed with admiration. "He's willing to gamble the entire Qingyin company to help someone. Isn't he afraid of things going wrong and the whole company being wiped out?"

"President Chu, if you have the chance to meet the big boss next time, could you please take me along?"

Chu Hongxiu pondered, "Perhaps he has absolute confidence, but it's also possible that Qingyin is nothing to him at all."

The Zhao family.

"Sir, everything has been taken care of; the efficiency is very high."

"The vaccine has begun mass production and could be available on the market as early as tomorrow!"

Hou Qin, unusually, did not appear trembling with fear when giving his report; instead, he was beaming with pride.

Zhao Yu nodded. "Go and make the arrangements. We'll hold a press conference tomorrow morning."

"Furthermore, have Yu Jinxiao come to see me, add fuel to the fire, and resolve everything completely!"
