Song Fan was unmoved by such a scene. She understood that, despite their tears and pleas, their character wouldn’t change. If they were allowed to stay, such incidents were likely to recur.

Song Fan said to Duan Feng, “Brother Duan, this matter concerns your Phoenix Restaurant, and I won’t interfere with your decision.”

With that, she turned and entered the restaurant. Duan Feng called for another team of security personnel from the building to remove the crying security guards from the scene. He couldn’t afford to have them make a scene at the entrance.

Duan Feng escorted Song Fan to the finest private room and said, “I’ve arranged a special spread for you today. Please enjoy these dishes.”

Although Song Fan wasn’t particular about her food, she had a discerning palate and could identify flavors that eluded most people. This was why Duan Feng often had her sample new dishes first.

Song Fan smiled and added, “Many people would love to taste your dishes, Brother Duan, but not everyone has the chance. I’m sure the flavors will be incredible.”

Duan Feng detested flattery, but Song Fan’s words amused him so much that he burst into laughter.

Outside the door, Qi Shuo stood in astonishment, straining to hear better. How could Duan Feng, who had maintained an ice-cold demeanor for ages, suddenly break into laughter like this?

Nevertheless, he swiftly adjusted his expression and knocked on the door. Duan Feng stood up and said, “It should be the lawyer I hired for you.”

Duan Feng rose to greet Qi Shuo and introduced him to Song Fan, saying, “This is Qi Shuo, a partner at Beijing Tianhe Law Firm. He’s a renowned attorney.”

Song Fan had certainly heard of the prestigious reputation of Tianhe Law Firm, known for winning nearly any lawsuit they took on. However, their legal fees were equally high.

She pondered, I only want to pursue a defamation lawsuit. Why did Brother Duan hire such a powerful attorney?

Qi Shuo humbly inquired, “Is this the lady who intends to file the lawsuit?”

“That’s correct,” Duan Feng confirmed. “This is my sister, Song Fan. She intends to file a defamation lawsuit.’

Qi Shuo’s expression froze, and he turned to Song Fan. He asked, “Are you Song

Fan from the Song Family in City A?”

Song Fan reclined in her chair and smiled. “Indeed, I am the daughter who was sent to the countryside.”

This response left Qi Shuo somewhat taken aback. His mind raced with rumors about her and Gu Chen. Just that morning, Xu Yuan had been insisting on meeting Song Fan, but he was held back by others. He hadn’t expected to encounter her that evening.

Qi Shuo couldn’t help but briefly glance at Song Fan’s abdomen, but he quickly averted his eyes, recognizing the impropriety of his action.

After dismissing those fleeting thoughts, he made an effort to regain his professional demeanor and approached them.

He took a seat next to Song Fan, then inquired, “So, Miss Song, what kind of lawsuit do you wish to file? Please provide me with the specific details.”

Song Fan recounted the school incident to Qi Shuo and expressed her intention to sue the individual behind the IP address responsible for spreading the rumors.

Qi Shuo was left dumbfounded upon hearing this. He couldn’t believe Duan Feng had called him for such a straightforward case. It had been a long time since he had handled such a minor lawsuit, especially since becoming a partner.

However, what puzzled him more was Song Fan’s assertion that the pregnancy rumor was false slander. He had an overwhelming urge to call Gu Chen and inquire further, but the fear of facing Gu Chen’s wrath held him back.

Qi Shuo gathered his thoughts and replied, “Since the defendant in this case hasn’t been identified yet, Miss Song will need to visit the police station to file a report. Once the defendant is located, you can proceed with the lawsuit.

However, I can guide Miss Song on the most advantageous course of action.”

Song Fan nodded and agreed, “I’ll go to the police station. Not only do I want to sue the person responsible but also the person who spread the rumors. I hope

Lawyer Qi can assist me in resolving this matter.”

Of course, this minor issue was a straightforward task for Qi Shuo. However, he was still grappling with the shock of the various surprises. He nodded absentmindedly and responded, “Certainly.”

Song Fan gazed at Qi Shuo with a hint of concern. Why did this senior partner from Tianhe Law Firm seem a bit bewildered? Was he truly dependable?

Unaware that he had appeared somewhat perplexed to others, Qi Shuo was still preoccupied with contemplating how he would communicate this experience with his friends. He stood up and said, “I’ll use the restroom.”

With that, he grabbed his phone and hurriedly stepped out to send a message to his friends: “Breaking News! I just received some crucial information!”

Qi Shuo had barely sent this message in the group chat when he looked up and spotted Gu Chen entering the restaurant alongside Su Yang. On reflection, he hid behind a nearby pillar.

It was only after Gu Chen had entered a separate private room that Qi Shuo recalled he had done nothing wrong.. Why am I hiding?
