Chapter 129

The establishment of the Qin Feng Life Science Foundation and its pledge to aid Ailin Foster acted like a clear stream, washing away the toxic atmosphere left by moral coercion. Qin Feng, with a powerful yet righteous stance, not only resolved the crisis perfectly but also won widespread praise from all sectors of society; his personal and corporate image rose rather than fell, reaching a new height.

Under the meticulous security arrangements of the Shield, Ailin and her family had secretly arrived in the country and moved into the premier Medical Center established within the Future Technology Research Institute, where Su Jin personally led a team to evaluate her condition and prepare to attempt the high-risk yet infinitely hopeful gene therapy.

Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

However, tall trees attract wind. As Qin Feng's fame grew, especially with his youthful, handsome, immensely wealthy, and mysterious image deeply ingrained in the public mind, he inevitably became the focal point of global media and public attention—and even… spawned a massive fanbase.

These fans called themselves Wind Chimes, active on every major social platform, frantically collecting every piece of information about Qin Feng—his occasional street photos, video clips from his public appearances, any movement of his companies… even baseless "inside rumors" sparked heated discussions and adoration among them.

Qin Feng's sister, Qin Yu, naturally noticed this phenomenon. At first she found it amusing, but seeing the near-deification of her brother online and some overly fanatical remarks, she felt a small sense of pride—and a barely perceptible worry.

That weekend, Qin Yu was scrolling on her Tablet Computer when she accidentally clicked into a super-topic community where Wind Chimes gathered. The place was flooded with posts about Qin Feng:

【Analysis Post: Analyzing General Qin's walking posture—his core strength must come from years of fitness!】 【Aaaah! This side profile from today's leak! I literally can't breathe!】 【Does anyone have insider info on what type of girl General Qin likes?】 【I heard General Qin is incredibly skilled—he can take on a dozen men at once? True or false?】

Qin Yu watched with delight, amazed at the fans' boundless imagination. When she saw a post titled 【Rational Discussion: Does General Qin Have Abs? How Many?】, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

The replies varied wildly: "Definitely has them! That aura? No abs would be unbelievable!" "I bet eight! Standard god-tier build!" "Maybe six? Even sexier!" "What if… it's one solid piece? (doge for protection)"

Watching these guesses, Qin Yu's playful side surged. She rolled her eyes, logged into her secret Weibo account—known only to a few close friends and disguised as an ordinary student—and swiftly typed a line beneath the post, then clicked send while holding back a laugh.

【My brother has 16 abs! I've seen them myself! Like chocolate bars, perfectly aligned!】

She imagined the netizens' reactions to this reply and collapsed onto the sofa laughing.

She assumed this obviously joking, exaggerated reply would quickly drown in the sea of guesses—or at most get a few sarcastic comments like "Dreams have everything."

But she underestimated the Wind Chimes' sensitivity to any information about Qin Feng—and the terrifying speed of internet propagation!

At first, the replies beneath her comment were full of question marks and mockery: "16? Are you okay, sis?" "This lie is so big, even Newton's coffin lid can't hold it down!" "Hahaha, is the OP here to make us laugh?"

But soon, someone noticed this ID's posting history and discovered it occasionally shared fragments of life at a top private school, along with photos that seemed casual but showed extremely luxurious backgrounds (Qin Yu sometimes posted pictures of the manor or gifts from her brother), and its location had repeatedly appeared near Qin Feng Manor!

"Wait—this ID… has something going on!" "Look at her past photos—that background… could it be…?" "Holy crap? Is she really… his sister?!" "The sister has spoken?! 16 abs?!"

Speculation spread like wildfire! The topic "Qin Feng's Sister Reveals Brother Has 16 Abs" surged with astonishing speed and instantly topped the trending list!

#QinFeng16Abs #SisterViewOfBrother #HumanAbsLimit

Comments flooded in—joking, shocked, envious, bitter: "16 abs… is that even human?" "I declare, from today on, General Qin is a walking, breathing washboard!" "Sis, do you need a sister-in-law? Someone who went to college and can feed herself!" "Hahaha, does General Qin know how his sister sees him?"

Qin Yu stared at the rapidly growing comments and shares beneath her post, and the topic that had instantly topped trending—she was completely stunned.

She… she was just joking! How did this even make trending?!

She frantically tried to delete the post, but found that due to the overwhelming number of shares and comments, Weibo had frozen—she couldn't delete it for the moment!

At that moment, her phone rang—it was Qin Feng calling.

Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat. She took a deep breath and answered.

"Hello… Brother…" Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum.

On the other end, Qin Feng's tone was unreadable, laced with a hint of amused sarcasm: "Sixteen abs? Like chocolate bars, perfectly aligned?"

Qin Yu's face instantly flushed crimson—she wished she could crawl into a crack in the floor: "Brother… I… I was just joking… I'll delete it right away!"

"No need to delete." Qin Feng's voice carried a faint smile. "It's already spread. Deleting it would only look suspicious."

"Huh? Then… what do we do?" Qin Yu nearly cried.

"It's fine." Qin Feng's tone was light. "Let them guess. Besides, it saves people from thinking your brother is some weak, bookish gentleman."

He paused, then added with playful teasing: "But next time you want to leak info, remember to check the numbers with me first. Sixteen… isn't that a bit excessive?"

Hearing her brother wasn't angry, and was even joking, Qin Yu finally relaxed. She stuck out her tongue: "Got it… next time I'll say eight."

After hanging up, Qin Yu stared at the still-hot trending topic, patted her chest, still shaken—but couldn't help smiling.

It seemed… she'd given her brother a small headache, but it was kind of fun?

Online, the "Qin Feng 16 Abs" meme had gone completely viral, spawning countless emojis and jokes.

Everyone was amused by this absurd yet adorable leak from the "sister," and Qin Feng's image, already powerful and mysterious, now gained an extra layer of down-to-earth humor and approachability.

A viral internet frenzy sparked by Qin Yu's momentary whim had, by sheer accident, further bridged the gap between Qin Feng and the public.

As for whether Qin Feng actually had sixteen abs?

It became an eternal mystery—and a legend endlessly discussed by the Wind Chimes.

Only a handful of Shield members who had personally witnessed Qin Feng's training (being pushed to the brink by Lei Zhan) knew that their Boss's muscle definition was truly monstrous—but as for the exact number…

Instructor Lei Zhan said: I never counted. And I wouldn't dare.
