After the rural banquet ended, Zhao Tienan returned to the health center by himself.

"Zhao, are you still troubled by the issue with Village Chief Chen Yu?"

Cao Lei noticed Zhao Tienan's bad mood and couldn't help but ask gently.

"No, I'm thinking about some other things."

Zhao Tienan looked at Cao Lei's healing, doll-like face, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

He didn't want to pass his negative emotions on to Cao Lei, so he didn't say much to her.

Of course, even if he did, Cao Lei might not be able to help him solve the problem.

"You seem quite angry, Zhao."

"How about I help you cool off a bit..."

Cao Lei grabbed Zhao Tienan's big hand, a blush appearing on her innocent and lovely face.

That pure yet seductive demeanor was hard to resist.

"Don't talk nonsense, who's angry?"

"You've been busy for quite a while today, get some rest early."

Zhao Tienan pinched Cao Lei's cheek, speaking softly.

Even if he really had any anger, it would vanish instantly upon seeing Cao Lei's bright and charming demeanor.

"Well, okay then."

"Zhao, I'm heading back now. If you need anything, you can come to my room directly..."

Cao Lei pursed her lips and left, looking back repeatedly.

After seeing Cao Lei off, Zhao Tienan suddenly had an idea, so he immediately put on his coat and went straight to Chen Yu's place.

"Doctor Zhao, do you believe me?"

"That video is definitely fake. I've never been a mistress, nor have I ever bribed anyone with my body."

Upon seeing Zhao Tienan, Chen Yu spoke urgently, her worried look and earnest eyes hoping for Zhao Tienan's trust.

"Of course I know you're innocent."

"The entire video was synthesized later on, they used the retired old leader's face from the village to replace mine, but the body is still mine."

Zhao Tienan immediately nodded, signaling his unconditional trust in Chen Yu.

"You mean, AI deepfake?"

Chen Yu's eyes widened suddenly, realizing the crux of the problem.

"Exactly, this high-tech stuff."

"I'm planning to go to the village soon to find professionals to restore the video, the truth will come out then."

Zhao Tienan said gravely.

"Then, I'll go with you!"

Chen Yu nodded emphatically. To clear her name, she couldn't afford to hesitate any longer.

She knew she had to do something immediately, or soon she'd not only be a subject of public criticism but wouldn't even be able to remain as the village chief.

"It's quite late. Is it appropriate for you to come with me?"

Zhao Tienan frowned and said softly.

"It's okay, this is too important to me, I must be present all the way..."

Chen Yu said resolutely, allowing no doubt.

She's just such a serious woman, unwilling to let herself bear any stain, nor would she spare anyone who defames her.

"Alright then, let's set off now."

"However, there's one thing I need to clarify with you first. Once the video is restored, the affair between us will be known."

"How do you wish to handle our relationship then?"

Zhao Tienan sharply pointed out the crux of the problem.
