"Don't even bother, your reputation is already done for!" Ai Tutu's voice came from up the stairs

Ai Tutu had quickly put on some clothes. She came down the stairs angrily, waving a bunch of articles that she had cropped from the newspapers, and scattered them in front of Mo Fan.

Mo Fan took a quick glance at the articles. They were mostly related to him. They mentioned his name and even had his photograph, yet he had never been to any of the places where the incidents occurred, nor did he commit the shameless offenses!

Mo Fan quickly scanned through the articles again and asked Ai Tutu with a confused face, "Why are you collecting these?"

"I'm doing it for Jiaojiao. I want her to learn your true nature! Look at what you've done! Not only did you bring trouble to the small towns, you also laid your hands on the innocent women there! I seriously think Jiaojiao and I should consider moving out from here. Otherwise, it's only a matter of time until you lay your hands on us!" Ai Tutu piped up.

"Isn't that what you've been looking forward to?" Mo Fan grinned.

"Bullsh**! People like you are the most detestable. You think you can just do whatever you want because of some achievements. I hate people like you the most!" Ai Tutu spat back.

"Tutu, that's enough," Mui Nujiao stopped Ai Tutu from grumbling endlessly.

"You're still defending this assh*** even now? Look at what he has been doing lately! I heard a bunch of people are gathering to take him down. I bet the whole street is going to chase after him soon!" Ai Tutu said.

"Tutu, you should be more rational. The media was only making things up and emphasizing the negative side of things to get more attention," Mui Nujiao said.

"Making things up? Look at this, and this; there was evidence too!" Ai Tutu complained.

"The culprits in these photographs are not Mo Fan. Someone must be impersonating him," Mui Nujiao sighed.

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you? Are you so head over heels in love with him? He's clearly a bad guy, yet you still insist on defending him!" Ai Tutu snarled.

"What the heck are you saying!?" Mui Nujiao rolled her eyes. She seriously wondered what Ai Tutu had going on in her head.

Mo Fan looked at the articles Ai Tutu had collected about the crimes he had committed. He noticed that the incidents had only begun around three months ago. It was around the time he returned from Greece...

"What do you think?" Mo Fan asked Mui Nujiao.

"I feel like someone is behind all this," she stated.

The incidents were only short periods of time apart, yet the media had reported every single one of them, including some incidents that had occurred in extremely remote places. It felt like someone was putting up an act while being filmed, just so the media could report it.

"They are purposely doing things that are going to ruin your reputation," Mui Nujiao continued.

"These guys are truly disgusting. They better hope I don't get my hands on them!" Mo Fan grunted.

The incidents were mostly related to some detestable acts that would arouse public anger. Many people had begun to doubt his character as the winner of the World College Tournament.

Mo Fan was quite popular in his homeland, so it was difficult to defame him. However, many incidents had been officially reported by the media, with photographs as evidence. The people quickly chose to believe that there were serious problems with Mo Fan's character.

Mo Fan had a lot of enemies in China, especially the renowned clans. They were stirring up havoc behind the scenes to make matters worse, beginning to fan the flames of doubt among the people. As a result, more people had sided against him, while the others that were clueless about the truth had tagged along as busybodies...

After all, even Ai Tutu, who was quite familiar with Mo Fan, had assumed he was responsible for the incidents, let alone the people that did not really know Mo Fan personally!

"The pollution in Qinghai is going to be a huge problem. It might become the fuse," Mui Nujiao said.

"I know that. It's my fault for being too low-key, allowing those idiots to take advantage of it and impersonate me easily. The people won't believe me even if I tried to explain myself. I can only get some peace if I find the culprit behind everything," Mo Fan sighed.

"Yes, and I doubt this is going to be the end of it. You rarely show yourself in public, so even though many people know who you are, they don't really know what kind of a person you are, which allows people with malicious intent to take advantage of you..." Mui Nujiao went on.

Keeping a low-profile turned out to be a mistake. Mo Fan shook his head helplessly. He was amused by how the whole thing had ended up. He was supposed to be the victim, yet he had to take the blame instead!

"I must learn the Super Lightning Spell as soon as possible. I seriously don't know how to handle this. Jiaojiao, do you have any good suggestions?" Mo Fan asked her.

"It's not that easy to clear your name. After all, people in many places have indeed suffered great losses from the incidents. They need someone to blame for their losses, and since they don't know that the culprits were impersonators, they ended up venting all their anger on you. Even if you try to clear your name, they will still think you are involved somehow. After all, the incidents only happened because people were impersonating you to ruin your reputation!" Mui Nujiao pointed out.

"That's true," Mo Fan agreed with her.

"How about this? I'll collect information on the recent incidents and see if we can compensate them for the losses..." Mui Nujiao said.

"Why do we have to compensate them for their losses!? I had nothing to do with them!" Mo Fan's eyes widened.

"I know you didn't do anything, but the people won't believe you. People are the most irrational when they are driven by anger after suffering incredible losses. They do not even care who's actually responsible, they just need a way to vent their frustration and someone to blame!

"I've scanned through the articles. Apart from the pollution in Qinghai, the rest aren't as serious as the news mentioned. We can easily pacify the people with some compensation. We'll then prove that you are innocent to them, and tell them they were tricked by impersonators. They will slowly accept the truth instead of assuming you're trying to shift the blame because they can't think straight. When the truth eventually comes to light, they will realize that you had nothing to do with the incidents, and they will be extremely grateful for what you did," Mui Nujiao said.

Mo Fan stared at Mui Nujiao with his mouth open. "Jiaojiao, you will be a very good public relations officer if you were working in a company!" Mo Fan complimented her.
