When Amy heard Mo Xiaomin's words, she couldn't help but feel that the other woman was saying those things to convince her.
"Xiao Min, I know you're trying to convince me, but ultimately it's your own decision regarding your feelings. I can promise you that I won't embarrass Gu Xiaobai in front of you anymore and will be kinder to him, but I'm sorry, I can't do anything else."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaomin happily said, "That's wonderful! I think Xiaobai will be very happy to hear that too."

Amy retorted, "Wait a minute. I said I wouldn't embarrass him to his face, but that doesn't mean I actually accepted it. It doesn't stop me from attacking him in another world."

Mo Xiaomin looked confused after hearing this and asked, "What other world?"

"Look, I was trying to be responsible to you, so I searched his name online and found his blog very easily."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaomin leaned closer to take a look and said, "A blog? He even writes relationship columns? How come I had no idea?"

Amy smiled smugly and said:
"Look, you think he wouldn't hide anything from you, but in reality, he's hiding quite a lot from you. Look at his answers to other people's questions online; they all seem so righteous and dignified, but they're actually infuriating to read."

Mo Xiaomin looked at the replies on the blog and said, "But it seems there are quite a few rumors."

"Of course, I contributed the majority of this, look..."

Mo Xiaomin leaned closer to take a look and found that these weren't serious replies at all; instead, they were all anonymous: "Hypocrite, you're so irresponsible yourself, yet you have the nerve to lecture others; mind your own business first; stop harming others..."

Mo Xiaomin looked at Amy angrily and said, "Amy, did you do all this?"

"Of course!"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Amy said, "You'll find out later. Anyway, I promised not to embarrass Gu Xiaobai in person, so you don't need to worry about what happens online, right?"

Mo Xiaomin hesitated for a moment, realizing that it was going too far to continue asking Amy to stop targeting Gu Xiaobai. However, she couldn't just ignore Amy's online attacks on Gu Xiaobai.

At Zhao Shucheng's home, Luo Shuquan looked at Zhao Shucheng and asked, "Xiaobai, how do you know it must have been Amy who did it?"

"Nonsense, besides her, who else do you think did it? It's obviously someone I knew before."

"That might not be Amy, maybe it's your ex-girlfriend from before you broke up?"

Zhao Shucheng waved his hand and said, "That's even more impossible. After all, my ex-girlfriends always broke up peacefully and we never saw each other again. It's impossible for them to do such a thing."

"I don't believe it. Qin and Lan, can you say they broke up peacefully?"

"They were just lusting after my body, and besides, we've never even started, so there's no way they would do such a thing."

Seeing that Luo Shuquan still looked unconvinced, Zhao Shucheng could only say, "Alright, then I'll show you the evidence."

"Look, although the comments on this blog are all anonymous, even a blind person can see that they all come from the same IP address. Moreover, blogging requires account registration, and anyone who isn't an idiot can check the registration time; it was registered within the last two days."

"That might not be her; maybe it's Mo Xiaomin's ex-boyfriend?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "I knew you'd say that, but when people with low intelligence commit crimes, there are flaws everywhere, and I feel ashamed of it."

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng reopened a webpage and said, "Registering an account requires an email address. I don't know what she was thinking, using her own email address. Look at the beginning of this email address."

Luo Shuquan leaned closer to the computer and muttered, "AMY7788..."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Of course, we could say it's just a coincidence. Although I also dislike it when perfectly good Chinese people take foreign names, many people use them now, and there are plenty of women named Amy. But what do you see when you search this email address?"

Luo Shuquan saw that after Zhao Shucheng searched, the results were actually online stores.

"Amy's Clothing Shop..."

"Yes, she's also called Amy. The key point is that it's a clothing store, and the physical store is located in this city. The key point is that there are photos of her. It can't be fake, right?"

Luo Shuquan was stunned and stared at Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng casually spun his chair around and said, "That's why I say, you can't do anything wrong, or the truth will eventually be found out."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I have a brilliant plan, but I can't tell you."

"You've been keeping this from me?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Luo Shuquan and said, "What else? Didn't you already tell Amy and Mo Xiaomin about eavesdropping?"

"I was doing that to infiltrate the enemy and gather information for you."

"That would be best, but I also have my own thoughts, so I won't go into them with you now."

Zhao Shucheng was not joking; he did have an idea, and he quickly put it into action.

He found Amy's clothing store by following the address on the internet, and saw Amy looking at the computer, seemingly waiting for an online order.

"Amy!"

Amy was surprised to see Zhao Shucheng at the clothing store. She looked at him nervously and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "I think we need to talk. After all, Mo Xiaomin shouldn't become a victim of our struggle. You don't want her to be caught in the middle, torn between us, do you?"

"Who's fighting with you? I've already promised Amy that I won't embarrass you in front of you anymore."

"So you're slandering me online?"

"Who said that? I didn't."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Whether it is true or not, you know it yourself. Besides, I didn't come here without evidence. I have already found out the account you registered on your blog and your online store. The facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive."

"What do you want?"

"I just want to have a proper talk with you. We have no past grudges or recent feuds, so why keep fighting? I also want to know why you have such a big problem with me."

Amy said, "I just can't stand you. You're clearly unemployed, yet Xiao Min is so devoted to you. Aren't you ruining Xiao Min's future?" "How do you know I'm ruining Xiao Min's future? Can't we just love each other and be together forever?"

"But can you afford to support Xiao Min? You call it being a freelancer, but to put it bluntly, you're barely making ends meet. What kind of future can you offer Xiao Min?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "I think you have some misunderstandings about me. Although I don't make much money from writing novels right now, I can still live comfortably with Xiao Min and have no problem eating and drinking."

Anyone can talk big, but who can know if it's true?

Zhao Shucheng said, "Then what do you suggest? Do you want me to show you my bank account balance so you can see that I'm not useless, and I can even provide for her financially?"

“Okay, if you really have money, I certainly won’t object to you being with Xiao Min.”

"You said it yourself, so let's go!"

Amy asked, "Where to?"

"You want to see my bank card balance, right? To avoid you accusing me of faking it, let's go to the bank to check in person. That should be fine, right?"

"Just go, no one is afraid of whom."

At the bank, in front of the ATM.

Amy stared in disbelief at the screen, then turned to Zhao Shucheng and asked, "Is this real?"

"What do you say?"

"But you're not..."

"You're trying to say that I'm not a lousy novelist and can't possibly earn this much money, right?"

"I really don't believe it, because I've never seen any of the TV series you wrote, nor the novel. How could you possibly have so much money?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "That's just because you think I'm not famous. But one of the novels that's currently trending online is mine, and the daily subscription revenue is quite substantial."

"You've passed the test. I won't interfere with your relationship with Xiao Min anymore."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "You'd better keep your word, and stop slandering me online, otherwise I won't just defend myself without fighting back."

"I'd like to know how you plan to retaliate. Are you going to hit me? If Xiao Min finds out, she'll definitely break up with you."

Zhao Shucheng said, "I'm not that low, but there are other ways, like your online store. I remember the return period is one week, and it's a no-reason return with no payment. I can easily buy all the clothes in your store, then refund you a few days later, wasting your time and energy, plus packing and shipping fees, etc. Your losses will definitely be considerable."

Amy glared at Zhao Shucheng and said angrily, "How can you, a grown man, be so petty and come up with such a despicable idea?"

Zhao Shucheng laughed and said, "This was just a defensive counterattack, and I warned you in advance, so it's not petty."

"Okay, I admit defeat and promise I won't slander you again."

"You should have said that earlier. But I have another question: are you really just targeting me because you don't like me?"

Amy said, "What else?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "I actually heard from Luo Shuquan about your conversation with Xiao Min, and I knew that Xiao Min's ex-boyfriend had contacted you. I thought you were standing up for him. It's a good thing you told me now, otherwise I would have suspected that you liked that Jack."

"What are you talking about?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I'm not just talking nonsense. After all, judging from your behavior lately, there are only two possibilities. One is that you're standing up for Jack, which only means you like him. So, for the person you like, you'd go to such lengths, trying to match him with Xiao Min and keeping Xiao Min away from me. Even if you can't have him, you still hope the person you like can be happy."

"I would never like Jack. Why do you think that?" Amy said, looking at Zhao Shucheng with curiosity.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Actually, it's quite simple. After all, you both like to address each other by English names, so you have common topics. Also, during the time he was dating Mo Xiaomin, you were already good friends, so it's hard to say that you wouldn't have feelings for each other. It's just that you suppressed these feelings because of Xiaomin."

Amy shuddered upon hearing this and said, "Stop talking! I don't like Jack. I just think his love for Xiao Min is genuine, and he's a good catch, so I don't want Xiao Min to miss out. But you just mentioned the first possibility, what's the other one?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Amy with a half-smile, but didn't say anything.

Amy immediately looked herself over nervously, but finding nothing wrong, she asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Teacher Zuo just suggested a possibility: that you fell in love with me at first sight, but because of Mo Xiaomin's presence—one is a good friend, and the other is a good friend's boyfriend—you chose to use hostility to cover up your feelings so as not to be exposed."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I would never like someone like you."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Really? I feel like that's the truth. Otherwise, why would you search for my blog and even register an account just because Mo Xiaomin is dating me, just to curse me online? Isn't that a new way to attract me?"

"No, that's not it, I just..."

Amy was at a loss for words. After all, she suddenly felt that no matter how she explained, she would be suspected, and it was the kind of situation where she couldn't explain herself clearly.

"Okay, I was just kidding. Although you are very beautiful and fit my aesthetic, Xiao Min and I have only just started dating. A threesome is still too exciting for me. So even if you really have feelings for me, you have to wait until Xiao Min and I can both accept it."

"You bastard, I never thought that way. Does Xiao Min know you're that kind of person?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "She should have known what kind of person I am a long time ago. Being a womanizer is my biggest flaw, but it's something I've never hidden."

“I originally thought I would support you and Xiao Min being together, but now it seems that I was right to stop you from being together.”

Whether it's right or wrong doesn't matter, but we can't break up because of your few words. I came to see you today so that you won't continue to ruin our relationship.

Amy glanced at Zhao Shucheng and said, "I understand. I can't afford to offend someone like you, but I'll keep an eye on you and Xiao Min. If you ever wrong Xiao Min or hurt her, I'll make sure she leaves you."

"You can rest assured, that day will never come."

Mo Xiaomin was initially worried that Amy would continue to clash with Zhao Shucheng, but after several days, she saw that Zhao Shucheng's blog was calm and peaceful, and Amy's previous account seemed to have disappeared for a long time.

Somewhat puzzled, she approached Amy, only to learn that Amy had given up on targeting Zhao Shucheng. When asked why, Amy wouldn't say, but instead asked Amy to tell her during future dates that she would help Mo Xiaomin investigate Zhao Shucheng.

Although Mo Xiaomin didn't know what had happened, the fact that Amy and Zhao Shucheng weren't continuing their confrontation was undoubtedly a good thing for her, and she was naturally happy about it. (End of Chapter)
