After a simple cleanup, Zhao Tienan and Chen Yu returned to Fengshan Village together.

As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, the villagers pointed at them, wearing unfriendly expressions on their faces.

"Hey, isn't this Chen Yu? I've heard she's not a good person, always playing the mistress to climb the social ladder."

"Yeah, on the surface, she looks like a pretty obedient girl, but secretly she's so wanton."

"How is she, such a shameless woman, hanging around with Doctor Zhao again? Really shameless!"

"Anyway, such a woman is definitely unfit to be our village head..."

Amongst all the disdainful voices, Chen Yu's nerves were pushed to their brink.

She originally had boundless enthusiasm, ready to lead the villagers of Fengshan Village to prosperity, even sacrificing much of the freedom and enjoyment meant for someone her age.

But she hadn't expected in return only cold stares and ridicule from everyone.

This sort of outcome, few people can truly endure it.

Although Chen Yu is strong at heart, in such a situation, she's also deeply pained.

"Don't mind it, soon the truth will be revealed, and I will ensure justice for you."

Just as tears welled up in Chen Yu's eyes, she suddenly felt a pair of warm and solid hands grasp her tightly.

The deep, magnetic voice was like a ray of light in the dark night, giving her an unprecedented sense of warmth.

With Zhao Tienan around, she felt she could really become unrestrained.

"Let's go to the village head's house first."

Zhao Tienan puffed up his chest, holding Chen Yu's hand, strides forward dominantly through all the icy stares and pointing fingers.

He was like a towering mountain, unblown by strong winds, unmoved by blizzards!

"Village head, I've had the video restored, here's what's inside; take a look, and you'll understand what's going on."

A few minutes later, Zhao Tienan arrived at the old village head's house, speaking solemnly.

"..."

The old village head coughed heavily a few times, then took the phone and carefully browsed through the restored content.

"Village head, the man in the video is actually me."

"Chen Yu and I are in love freely, I'm unmarried, she's unwed, so whatever happens isn't disgraceful, right?"

"But that damn Hou Rui, who knows when he secretly filmed it, and even used AI face-swapping technology to frame us."

"This matter is simply unforgivable!"

Zhao Tienan said resolutely.

"So that's how it is..."

"Doctor Zhao, I never imagined computer technology has become so advanced, clearly a case of misleading!"

"But now the scandal has stirred the whole town, and the villagers have been swayed by the illusion Hou Rui created; even if you want to confess the truth now, it's unlikely to have much effect..."

The old village head stated sharply.

Just like he said, once rumors spread, restoring the truth won't be easy, even if you present real evidence. People might assume it's fabricated.

"No problem, village head, leave this matter to me."

"You just need to gather all the villagers together, and I guarantee I can clear Chen Yu's name."
