Following Lu Xing's explanation, Chen Enci, who had gained an overall understanding of the Weibo incident, took Lu Xing's phone.
Some noise is inevitable in a phone interview. Amid the faint crackling sound, the reporter introduced himself briefly to Qin Jie before asking a few questions.
Reporter: Mr. Qin, hello. Did you really sponsor Yang Ling?
Qin Jie: Yes.
Reporter: Why didn't you immediately step forward to clear your name when the incident happened?
Qin Jie: I was a bit busy at the time.
Reporter: Too busy to handle the situation?
Qin Jie: Actually, I'm still quite busy now.
Reporter: So, Mr. Qin, are you indicating that despite your busy schedule, you've decided to defend yourself? Seems like Yang Ling's actions have greatly angered you?
Qin Jie: I'm not angry, but a little scared, actually.
Reporter: Scared? Is it because of online comments?
Qin Jie: No, it's because of…a girl.
Reporter: A girl?
Qin Jie: Yes, a girl whom I love dearly.
