It seemed as if something flashed through Ji Heyuan’s mind, but in front of Jiang Jiang, she didn’t show it. Instead, she went on to ask about Liang Junsheng’s situation.

“That scumbag is temporarily out of danger. Did my sister tell you how she’s going to deal with him?”

Legal punishment aside, Ji Heyuan didn’t believe that her sister would rely solely on the power of the law to retaliate against Liang Junsheng.

There must be more ways that aren’t illegal, but can make Liang Junsheng wish he were dead.

“Sister discussed it with me and plans to expose this matter online,” Jiang Jiang replied in a low voice.

Ji Heyuan spat. “That’s what he deserves! That scumbag is so good at managing his image on the outside. Who doesn’t say he’s a great guy? This shows that he cares a lot about his reputation. He should be ruined!”

Yan Ke and the others followed Ji Heyuan and cursed a few times. Jiang Jiang listened quietly the whole time, without expressing her own opinion.

Afraid of stirring up her sad memories, they stopped cursing after a short while. Ji Heyuan changed the subject and said, “Speaking of which, our class schedule is out. Have you seen it?” she asked Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang shook her head and reached out to grab the phone on the bedside table. Ji Heyuan was especially attentive and took the lead to pick it up and hand it to her. “I’ll do it, I’ll do it. Don’t move, your foot is still injured.”

Jiang Jiang opened QQ, and sure enough, there were several messages from the counselor in the group, telling them to remember to check the class schedule in the academic affairs system, and they would have to start attending classes according to the schedule from now on.

Jiang Jiang browsed through it roughly and saw a familiar name among the many names – Wen Xueyun.

Ji Heyuan leaned over to look at it with her. “You also have Sister Xueyun’s class, right? Our two classes should have the same courses, and the lecturers are also the same people, it’s just that the scheduling time is different.”

“Yeah.”

Jiang Jiang memorized the information on the class schedule. She put away her phone and lowered her eyes to look at her left leg hidden under the quilt.

“It’s a pity that I can’t go to school to attend classes right now.”

The injury on her foot was one reason, and another was that Ji Xu’an also worried Jiang Jiang hadn’t fully recovered from the ordeal, so she simply asked for a week off for her.

“It’s okay, my sister has already discussed it with the school, and she’ll have people record the course content, and you can watch the videos.”

With such a thing happening, Ji Xu’an would naturally have to talk to the school leaders of S University in private. Regardless of whether Jiang Jiang would choose to expose this matter, Liang Junsheng would end up being expelled from the school.

Furthermore, if she chose to expose it, then it would inevitably be revealed that Liang Junsheng was a student of S University, which would definitely bring a bad influence to S University’s reputation, so it was even more necessary to let S University get the news in advance in order to make sufficient preparations to face the upcoming pressure of public opinion.

These things were not what Jiang Jiang should worry about. Ji Xu’an would naturally arrange everything.

Hearing these words, a small smile finally appeared on Jiang Jiang’s face again. Ji Heyuan also breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, guaranteeing, “And there’s me, my memory is still very good, it’s definitely no problem to be your temporary teacher.”

Everyone was amused by her.

Ji Heyuan and the others didn’t stay for long. Considering that her sister was still standing outside, Ji Heyuan said what she wanted to say and then said goodbye at the right time.

Before leaving, she suddenly thought of something again. “Grandma doesn’t know about this yet, have you prepared how to explain it to her?”

This matter could be hidden for a while, but it couldn’t be hidden forever. After seeing the news, Old Madam Ji would definitely call to ask about Jiang Jiang’s recent situation.

As far as Ji Heyuan knew, Jiang Jiang would visit her grandmother at the nursing home whenever she was free.

The person who originally went every other day or two suddenly couldn’t go for a long time. Grandma wasn’t stupid, she would definitely notice something.

Jiang Jiang thought for a while. “I’ll go to the nursing home and explain it to Grandma clearly after I’m discharged from the hospital.”

With Jiang Jiang’s understanding of Old Madam Ji, if she knew that Jiang Jiang was injured, she would definitely be very worried. Unless she saw Jiang Jiang safe and sound with her own eyes, it would be difficult for her to truly feel at ease.

“Good, I’ll help you keep it a secret for now,” Ji Heyuan said, patting Jiang Jiang’s shoulder in a sisterly way.

When walking out of the hospital room, Ji Heyuan saw her sister standing not far away, looking at something on her phone. Her half-lowered thick eyelashes blocked the thoughts in her eyes, and Ji Heyuan couldn’t tell what her mood was, but she was instinctively a little apprehensive.

Ji Heyuan was very worried that Ji Xu’an would talk to her about Zheng Zhouzhou. Her sister didn’t like Zheng Zhouzhou in the first place, and she must be even more disgusted now.

But Ji Heyuan herself couldn’t figure out what her attitude towards Zheng Zhouzhou was now.

If she were to say she hated her, it wouldn’t be right, at least she hadn’t thought about not contacting Zheng Zhouzhou from now on, but if she were to say she liked her, it didn’t seem like she was as infatuated as before.

Ji Heyuan couldn’t forget Jiang Jiang’s words just now. Was Zheng Zhouzhou being sick really just a coincidence?

Ji Heyuan couldn’t figure it out, so she simply gave up thinking about it.

Anyway, her sister would definitely investigate it clearly, so it was better to wait peacefully for her sister’s investigation results. If Zheng Zhouzhou really had bad intentions, her sister wouldn’t hide it from her.

Just as Ji Heyuan was secretly observing Ji Xu’an, Ji Xu’an also noticed her gaze and cast a light glance at her.

“Sister,” Ji Heyuan said, instinctively straightening her back.

The other three people on the side didn’t dare to breathe loudly either. Although Ji Xu’an’s attitude towards them wasn’t strict, for some reason, in front of Ji Heyuan’s sister, they instinctively didn’t dare to put on a playful look.

“Yeah,” Ji Xu’an put away her phone. “Finished chatting?”

“Yeah,” Ji Heyuan touched her nose. “Then, I’ll go back to school first?”

Ji Xu’an didn’t make things difficult for her. “Hmm, do you need me to have the driver take you?”

Ji Heyuan quickly shook her head. “There are four of us, we can take the subway ourselves, it’s very convenient.”

Ji Xu’an looked at the silly smile on her face, and a feeling of helplessness and amusement rose in her heart. “You also have to be careful, and be mindful of everything, understand?”

Ji Heyuan was overwhelmed by her sister’s kindness. Since her sister took over Linghai Group, she had been talking less and less. She was also mischievous, causing trouble every now and then. Every time her sister went to school, it was to clean up the mess for her.

In addition, her sister was very busy with work and was often not at home. Strictly speaking, her sister hadn’t been this gentle in reminding her for a long time.

“I know, don’t worry,” Ji Heyuan suddenly felt her nose tingle. She subconsciously turned her head away not wanting Ji Xu’an to see her slightly red eyes.

Ji Xu’an’s mood was also a bit complicated. It wasn’t that she didn’t care about Ji Heyuan, it was just that she was too busy, and Ji Heyuan was a full eight years younger than her. In Ji Xu’an’s eyes, many of Ji Heyuan’s behaviors were childish.

Ji Xu’an’s concern for Ji Heyuan was a kind of strict mother-like discipline. In addition, she was influenced by her inherent thinking, and always felt that as long as she provided sufficiently superior material conditions, the child could live happily.

She was responsive to Ji Heyuan in terms of money. As long as Ji Heyuan wanted to buy something, Ji Xu’an would definitely satisfy her. She thought that was enough.

But now it seemed she was a rather inadequate older sister. Ji Heyuan’s carefree nature, combined with the lack of major incidents recently, had masked Ji Xu’an’s insufficient attention to her younger sister’s needs.

“Call me if anything happens,” Ji Xu’an said, reaching out and gently touching Ji Heyuan’s head. “I won’t beat you, what are you afraid of?”

Every time she saw her, she was like a mouse seeing a cat.

These words weren’t to coax Ji Heyuan. Ji Xu’an didn’t advocate violent education. Ji Heyuan growing up, her sister had never hit her once. Ji Xu’an would only educate her verbally, plus deduct her pocket money.

Ji Heyuan felt that she had been treated as an immature child by her sister again, and in front of her roommates. She couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed.

Ji Xu’an seemed to be very easy to talk to at this moment. Ji Heyuan carefully extended a tentative foot. “Then… then can you give me back the two months of allowance you deducted?”

Last time, Ji Xu’an had ruthlessly docked two months’ allowance for bullying Jiang Jiang, leaving Ji Heyuan financially strapped.

Ji Xu’an withdrew her hand, her tone indifferent. “No.”

Ji Heyuan:…”…”

Ji Heyuan seemed to hear a mechanical notification sound in her mind.

[Your gentle sister experience card has expired]

Okay, okay, so cold-blooded, Ji Xu’an, you cold-blooded demon, she will never know how much of a blow these one word brought to me!

Ji Heyuan showed a pitiful expression in a second. “Are you willing to let your sister live such a miserable life? During this time, my pockets have been empty, and I’m so poor that I only eat three meals a day.”

“So what,” Ji Xu’an said with a calm face. “You haven’t eaten a single meal less.”

“Okay, okay, so that’s what you’re saying!” Ji Heyuan said, her hands on her hips. “Since you’re going to be so heartless, then I can only ask my soft-hearted little sister-in-law.”

Hearing the four words “little sister-in-law,” Ji Xu’an’s expression froze almost imperceptibly, and even the hand hanging by her side unconsciously pulled back inward.

Ji Heyuan didn’t notice her sister’s strangeness. She was still performing hard. “As a sister-in-law, Xie Jiang Jiang can’t just watch her sister starve to death, right?”

Ji Heyuan’s eyes lit up immediately. This meant her sister wouldn’t change her mind about the punishment, but she could make a few reasonable requests?

Sure enough, I had to mention my sister-in-law. Tsk tsk, who would have thought that sister was actually henpecked.

“Okay, Sister, thank you, Sister!” Ji Heyuan was so excited that she was almost dancing. “Thank you, Sister-in-law too, Sister-in-law is so good!”

Ji Xu’an frowned and interrupted her. “Don’t call her that.”

Ji Xu’an didn’t plan to tell Ji Heyuan about the cancellation of the engagement, because Ji Heyuan was someone who couldn’t keep a secret. If she knew, it would mean that the whole world would know, which would violate Ji Xu’an’s agreement with Old Madam Ji.

But not telling her didn’t mean that Ji Xu’an could accept hearing the title of sister-in-law from Ji Heyuan’s mouth.

Jiang Jiang definitely wouldn’t want to be called that by Ji Heyuan either, Ji Xu’an thought.

But Ji Heyuan misunderstood her meaning. She covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly. “I understand, I understand, but there are no outsiders here.”

Ji Xu’an was silent and speechless.

Ji Heyuan saw that her sister’s expression seemed a little off, and quickly pulled her roommates and ran away.

If they didn’t run, the great demon was going to get angry!

…

Jiang Jiang had been waiting in the hospital room for almost ten minutes when Ji Xu’an pushed the door open and entered.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Jiang Jiang looking expectantly at the door. When she saw her, Jiang Jiang’s eyes obviously lit up.

“I chatted with Xiao Yuan for a few words and was delayed for a while,” Ji Xu’an explained.

She closed the hospital room door with her backhand.

“I thought Sister had already left,” Jiang Jiang’s voice was very small, with a hint of imperceptible grievance and disappointment in her tone.

“No,” Ji Xu’an walked towards her. “I promised you I wouldn’t leave, and I would never break my promise.”

Jiang Jiang’s gaze followed Ji Xu’an’s figure without missing a beat. Her gaze was so direct, as if she was afraid that Ji Xu’an would disappear again.

“Are you still sleepy?” Ji Xu’an asked her.

Jiang Jiang shook her head. “I can’t sleep.”

“Does your foot still hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt.” Jiang Jiang was just a little bored.

Seeing this, Ji Xu’an took the tablet and sat down next to Jiang Jiang. “If you can’t sleep, why don’t you choose the things the kitten will use with me?”

Jiang Jiang became interested. She tilted her body and leaned closer to Ji Xu’an. The two people’s shoulders were very close, only a little bit away from touching.

Ji Xu’an subconsciously held her breath, and then exhaled very lightly, her fingers swiping on the screen. “We need to prepare a cat bed, a cat toilet, and cat food, as well as various snacks and toys for the kitten. Secretary Zhao has already chosen them in advance. These brands are trustworthy. You can take a look first and see if there’s anything you’re more satisfied with.”

Jiang Jiang was dazzled by what she saw. She wasn’t sure what kind of food the kitten liked either. After all, she wasn’t a cat, and didn’t know what kind of flavors cats liked. In the end, Ji Xu’an made the final decision.

“Buy everything, there’s always one that the kitten will like.”

Jiang Jiang looked at her hesitantly. “There’s so much, we won’t be able to finish it all.”

“What we can’t finish, we’ll take it to feed the stray cats.”

Anyway, these cat food and snacks are safe and reliable, so there’s no need to worry about the cats having problems after eating them.

Okay then.

Jiang Jiang didn’t have much of an opinion. Anyway, she wasn’t the one paying for it, whoever paid had the say.

There wasn’t much to choose from in terms of food, but the toys were different.

Jiang Jiang looked at the various cat climbing frames and toy dolls in the pictures, and her heart almost melted. She could already imagine the scene of the kitten using these toys.

“There’s a room in the apartment that was originally intended to be used as a storage room. There’s not much in it yet, so we can clean it out for the cat to live in.” Ji Xu’an seriously considered, “As for the cat climbing frame, it can also be placed on the balcony of the living room.”

After Ji Xu’an finished speaking, she waited for Jiang Jiang to offer her own opinion, but the other party didn’t respond for a long time.

She turned her head to look and found that Jiang Jiang had long stopped looking at the screen. At this time, she was looking at her with bright, sparkling eyes.

Seeing Ji Xu’an looking at her, Jiang Jiang shyly pursed her lips and said softly, “Sister, you’re so good!”

Ji Xu’an chuckled. “Does that count as good?”

She found that Jiang Jiang was really easy to satisfy.

Jiang Jiang didn’t explain, but her attitude towards Ji Xu’an was even more intimate. The shoulders that were originally a little apart were completely pressed together, and the warmth belonging to the two people intertwined and mixed, completely inseparable.

Jiang Jiang was completely unaware and was still excitedly picking out a cat climbing frame.

Ji Xu’an could only force herself to relax. She thought, I would get used to it, Jiang Jiang just wanted to be closer to her sister, what was wrong with that?

Jiang Jiang’s eyes were on the tablet, but her peripheral vision was always observing the changes in Ji Xu’an’s expression, clearly taking in the other party’s action of slightly pursing her lips.

A slight, almost imperceptible, smile touched her lips.

After all the things were selected, Ji Xu’an sent a message to Secretary Zhao, asking him to send the selected things to the apartment and install them.

Jiang Jiang had nothing to do for a while, so she simply asked Ji Xu’an to have someone bring her textbooks over.

The things were delivered by a strange bodyguard wearing a black suit, which reminded Jiang Jiang of yesterday’s driver.

“Sister,” she asked Ji Xu’an, “Why didn’t I see Uncle Liu?”

Ji Xu’an’s expression suddenly turned cold. “He was fired.”

Jiang Jiang was stunned. “Is it because of me? Actually, this matter isn’t his fault, he didn’t expect Liang Junsheng to do this.”

“Protecting you is his job, and he failed. I paid him to protect you, not to apologize afterward.”

Ji Xu’an was only firing him, not asking him to pay compensation, which could be considered very kind.

“Sister,” Jiang Jiang knew that Ji Xu’an was angry, so she didn’t argue with her. Instead, she reached out and grabbed Ji Xu’an’s sleeve, shaking it from side to side. “But I’m already used to him protecting me. If someone else comes, I don’t know if I can get along well with them.”

Ji Xu’an looked at her steadily. She wasn’t stupid and knew that Jiang Jiang was speaking up for the driver.

Ji Xu’an wanted to persuade Jiang Jiang not to be so soft-hearted. “He has to take a large part of the responsibility for the harm you suffered. If it wasn’t for his self-righteousness, how could the things that happened later have happened?”

But Jiang Jiang finally had an opportunity to recruit a subordinate, how could she easily give up?

The driver, Lao Liu, had worked in the Ji family for several years and had always been trusted by Ji Xu’an. If that weren’t the case, Ji Xu’an wouldn’t have let him protect Jiang Jiang.

He definitely knew a lot of things related to Ji Xu’an. And even if he didn’t know anything, having someone like him around meant Jiang Jiang had someone to run errands for her. She knew this incident wouldn’t guarantee his complete loyalty, but at least he’d be less likely to refuse her requests.

“Sister, I know you’re angry that he wasn’t vigilant enough, and he did make a mistake. But like you said this morning, Liang Junsheng had evil thoughts, and he would definitely try to find a way to attack me. Even if it wasn’t this time, there would always be a next time.”

“Outside of school, Uncle Liu could still protect me, but what if Liang Junsheng chose to attack me inside the school?”

Jiang Jiang smiled self-deprecatingly. “Maybe it was destined that I would experience this sooner or later. Uncle Liu made a mistake, but we have to give him a chance to correct it.”

“And nothing serious happened to me. His reaction was also very quick after the incident, and he called the ambulance in time.”

Ji Xu’an was silent for a long time. After a long while, she sighed softly. “If you want to keep him, then I’ll listen to you.”

She thought that Jiang Jiang was originally a soft and kind person. She was like a flower seedling that had just come out of the greenhouse, and hadn’t experienced the attacks of storms. She couldn’t ask Jiang Jiang to immediately learn the principle that people’s hearts are sinister.

She felt that the mistake Lao Liu made was unforgivable, but Jiang Jiang wanted to give him another chance.

That afternoon, the driver, Lao Liu, came to the hospital to thank Jiang Jiang.

Actually, he had always wanted to apologize to Jiang Jiang in person, but Ji Xu’an didn’t give him this opportunity and directly had people drive him away.

From yesterday until now, Lao Liu’s heart had been suffering. He was different from Ji Heyuan. Ji Heyuan had no obligation to accompany Jiang Jiang, but he did.

He thought that Jiang Jiang might hate him very much, but he didn’t expect that Jiang Jiang would be willing to give him another chance.

As soon as they met, Lao Liu knelt down to Jiang Jiang, which startled Jiang Jiang. In Ancient times, it was normal for servants to kneel, but there were no such rules here.

She couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Ji Xu’an, but Ji Xu’an only looked at Lao Liu coldly, without any intention of letting him get up.

Jiang Jiang also closed her mouth. She prepared to listen to what Lao Liu would say first.

“I’m sorry, Miss Xie, this is all my fault!” As he spoke, his eyes actually turned red.

Before Jiang Jiang could speak, Lao Liu quickly and accurately gave himself two punches.

This behavior of his had the meaning of begging Ji Xu’an for forgiveness, but he also really felt very sorry for Jiang Jiang. Fortunately, Jiang Jiang’s life wasn’t in danger, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiang couldn’t remain silent anymore. “Since I asked Sister to call you here, it means that I don’t blame you.”

“Sister won’t fire you again. How it was before, it will still be how it is in the future.”

Lao Liu couldn’t help but kneel forward two steps excitedly, looking at Jiang Jiang with firm eyes. “Don’t worry, Miss Xie, even if I die, I won’t let you have any more trouble in the future.”

Jiang Jiang pursed her lips and nodded lightly. “Okay.”

Ji Xu’an sat in front of the hospital bed, her legs crossed, looking at Lao Liu with an indifferent expression. “Jiang Jiang pleaded bitterly for you, so I’ll give you another chance. You have to remember who it was that allowed you to keep this job.”

What Ji Xu’an meant wasn’t that she want to continue to hire Lao Liu, but that if Jiang Jiang was really determined to fire Lao Liu, Lao Liu would probably never be able to make a living in the bodyguard circle again.

Although in front of Jiang Jiang, Ji Xu’an only said that she had fired Lao Liu, in reality, her instructions to Secretary Zhao were that everyone had to know how big of a mistake Lao Liu had made.

A bodyguard who can’t even guarantee the safety of his employer, who else will dare to hire him in the future?

Lao Liu understood Ji Xu’an’s implication, and he nodded vigorously, “President Ji, don’t worry, I understand.”

Jiang Jiang didn’t stop Ji Xu’an from reprimanding Lao Liu, but after Ji Xu’an finished speaking, Jiang Jiang still asked Lao Liu to get up quickly.

Honestly, seeing this scene, Jiang Jiang unexpectedly missed it a little.

In the past, in the Duke’s mansion, she used to subdue her servants in this way, combining kindness and power. She didn’t expect to have the same experience here.

Speaking of which, Ji Xu’an’s reaction also surprised Jiang Jiang a little.

Although Ji Xu’an had seemed very indifferent before, Jiang Jiang could still feel her recognition of the concept of equality between people in her words, but now Ji Xu’an could accept others kneeling without changing her expression. This made Jiang Jiang feel that she had seen a different Ji Xu’an again.

So Ji Xu’an wasn’t unaware of how much privilege everything she possessed could bring her. She knew very well that her wealth and power were enough for her to wantonly crush others and look down on others from a high position.

It was just that most of the time, Ji Xu’an wouldn’t do that.

After Lao Liu left, Jiang Jiang started clinging to Ji Xu’an again, and always looked at her with a hesitant gaze.

Ji Xu’an put down the tablet and asked, “Were you scared?”

She had been a little fierce just now.

Jiang Jiang shook her head. “No.”

She bit her lip and said very softly, “I feel like Sister is so handsome!”

Ji Xu’an didn’t realize that after hearing these words, her tense body finally relaxed. She only hooked the corners of her lips, “You’re still a child after all.”

Jiang Jiang puffed up her cheeks. “I’m an adult!”

Ji Xu’an perfunctorily said, “Yes, yes, yes.”

“So, this adult should put their arm under the covers. We don’t want her to catch a cold.”

…

That night, a piece of news suddenly topped the hot search list of major websites, and was frantically forwarded by hundreds of big Vs in just two hours.

(TL: “Big Vs” refers to influential users with a large number of followers.)

“In a community in S City, a man and a woman fell from a building together. Was it a suicide pact, or is there another hidden story?”

The video footage didn’t clearly show the individuals who fell. The shaky camera remained focused on the building’s top floor, also capturing a portion of the sky.

Netizens who clicked into the entry could only hear the exclamations of the people at the scene, chaotic and noisy.

“Someone jumped!”

“What’s going on, are they dead?”

“…”

Although there were no bloody scenes, the tense atmosphere was not lacking at all, because there were onlookers constantly “explaining” next to them.

“There’s so much blood, oh my god!”

“The person isn’t moving!”

“Call the police quickly!”

Through this series of dialogues, everyone could completely imagine that the scene must be very bloody and terrifying.

The comment section already had internet trolls arranged by Ji Xu’an leading the rhythm, and from the beginning, they didn’t give everyone a chance to splash dirty water on the girl.

[Netizen 1: I was at the scene! Across the street! It was really scary, I suddenly heard a bang! Then after about a few seconds, I heard a middle-aged man constantly calling the girl’s name. The community gatekeeper said that the person was the girl’s uncle.]

[Netizen 2: I heard that he originally had a chance to save the girl at the time, but he was one step too late.]

This kind of regretful plot always makes people sigh and sympathize.

[Netizen 3: Alas, how sad her uncle must be. He was so close to saving his niece, he’ll probably have a psychological shadow for the rest of his life, right?]

[Netizen 4: Is the girl still alive? Who is that boy?]

Under this comment, there was another person claiming to be an insider who replied:

[Netizen 5: It seems like they’re both still alive, they’ve already been sent to the hospital. The boy seems to be a resident of the community, and the girl is his classmate. The two of them aren’t very old, and seem to be students at a nearby university.]

Learning that they were both still alive, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then began to guess the truth of the matter.

A man and a woman, and they fell from the building together, so everyone naturally began to suspect that the two were in a relationship.

[Netizen 6: Could it be that the family didn’t agree with them being together, so they decided to commit suicide for love?]

[Netizen 7: That’s not right, committing suicide for love must be hidden from the family, right? The girl’s uncle was also at the scene. And who commits suicide by jumping from the third floor, they might not even die.]

There were all kinds of opinions, and all kinds of guesses, but overall, everyone didn’t blame all the faults on the girl. Even if there were such comments, Secretary Zhao would have people delete them as soon as possible.

The people in the public relations department knew very well that the nature of netizens was to argue, and if they released all the truth in one breath, everyone would instead suspect the authenticity of the matter.

Compared to the facts that were plainly laid out in front of them, everyone was more willing to believe the truth that they had personally dug out.

So at this time, it was necessary to use connections.

One person revealed that she had a relative working in the hospital, and heard that when the girl was sent over, her hands were tied behind her back, and she had many wounds on her body, and her leg was also broken, which looked very much like she had been violently attacked.

The most important thing was that the coat she was wearing had also been taken off.

These words were like a drop of water falling into hot oil, and everyone suddenly exploded.

Soon, another person replied to this person below.

[Netizen 8: The person above is talking nonsense, I live nearby. After the incident, I specifically went to that community to ask about it. Everyone had a very good evaluation of that boy, saying that he had a gentle personality and looked very honest. Anyway, I don’t believe he would do such a thing.]

Because this person confidently guaranteed that what he said was absolutely true, everyone didn’t think of it as a criminal case, and only thought that the young couple was playing special fetishes.

[Netizen 9: S.M?]

[Netizen 10: Playing so risky?]

Soon, the original poster specifically replied to this person, breaking everyone’s guess.

[Original poster: Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, you can go to the hospital and ask yourself, the police have already been there several times. I heard that they have already found key evidence, but because the boy is still in critical condition, they can’t convict him for the time being. But the girl’s family said that they must sentence him to death!]

Because the original poster’s attitude was very open, with an attitude of letting everyone ask as they pleased, everyone unconsciously leaned towards the original poster again.

[Netizen 11: I’ll be damned! Could it really be r*pe?]

[Netizen 12: How scary!]

[Netizen 13: But aren’t they classmates?]

[Netizen 14: It’s even more terrifying when acquaintances commit crimes! You can’t guard against it.]

Below, everyone started a discussion about crimes committed by acquaintances. At this time, the entire public opinion had leaned towards the girl’s side, and what everyone was struggling with was whether the boy wanted to commit r*pe.

Regardless of whether he did or not, at least he hurt the girl, and there was no doubt about that.

…

Jiang Jiang was lying on the bed, scrolling through the comments under the video. Ji Xu’an originally didn’t want her to read them, but Jiang Jiang was very insistent. In the end, she couldn’t resist Jiang Jiang.

During this time, Ji Xu’an kept a close eye on Jiang Jiang, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that she wasn’t affected.

Jiang Jiang looked for a long time, but didn’t seem to see any comments that were very unfavorable to her.

“Does everyone believe that I’m innocent?”

“Does no one think that maybe it was my fault?”

Ji Xu’an could have coaxed her, but looking at the serious expression on Jiang Jiang’s face, Ji Xu’an still said patiently, “Have you heard of the spiral of silence?”

Jiang Jiang shook her head.

Ji Xu’an explained, “It’s very simple, it’s just that the minority obeys the majority.”

“When a person finds that the views they hold are recognized by the majority, they will bravely stand up and express their views; conversely, when a person finds that their views are the thoughts of a minority, in order not to be criticized by the majority, they will subconsciously remain silent.”

“Over time, widely supported views will become more and more popular, gradually becoming the only view. When the spiral of silence develops to the end, you may really not be able to hear any opposing voices.”

Jiang Jiang frowned. “But not everyone will believe this only view.”

“So this is the principle that things will develop in the opposite direction when they reach the extreme.” Ji Xu’an took the tablet and found Netizen 8’s comment from the comments, “The appearance of questioning voices will make the final truth seem more real and reliable.”

Jiang Jiang felt that she had learned something again.

“So don’t easily believe what others say at any time. It’s possible that the two people who are superficially at odds are actually the same person behind the scenes.”

That original poster and Netizen 8 were both people arranged by Ji Xu’an.

“You have to learn to distinguish between truth and lies, and always be mindful. Even if you don’t have the intention to harm others, you can never guarantee that others are the same as you.”

Jiang Jiang nodded vigorously. “I understand, Sister.”

Then she put away her phone and didn’t look at the comments online anymore.

…

This matter fermented very quickly. Because Ji Xu’an was willing to spend money, the entry had been on the hot search list and hadn’t fallen.

Everyone had already begun to dig deep into the identities of the man and woman in the news.

Someone dug up Liang Junsheng’s identity and learned that he was a student of S University. Now everyone flocked to S University’s official Weibo and asked S University to give an explanation.

At this time, someone posted a screenshot, saying that it was a friend circle post from a student of S University.

In the picture, the person righteously denounced their friend, saying that they didn’t expect him to be such a person.

[I thought you were really honest and down-to-earth. Knowing that your family was very poor, we even took the initiative to share our daily necessities with you. But what about you? You actually kidnapped and r*ped an innocent girl, and you’re also a cat abuser!]

Although this friend circle post didn’t mention the name of that friend, based on some of the information inside, everyone could guess that this person was talking about the male protagonist in the news.

[Netizen 15: Holy crap! There’s too much information! That guy really kidnapped the girl, and wanted to do something bad to her, that’s disgusting!]

[Netizen 16: But why did the girl go home with him, and the girl’s uncle was downstairs, what’s going on?]

[Netizen 17: Someone previously revealed that the boy was very loving and often took care of stray cats, but this person who claims to be his friend said that he was a cat abuser. Think about it!]

This comment received a lot of likes, so someone began to boldly guess.

[Netizen 18: Could it be that he used the cat to coax the girl, and asked the girl to go to his house to see the kitten? The girl wasn’t at ease, so she called her uncle too, but in the end, she didn’t expect the boy to be so bold.]

[Netizen 19: Damn it! If that’s really the case, this guy is too disgusting, why doesn’t he go die?!]

Just as more and more people were questioning the boy’s bad character, someone posted an audio clip.

It was very short, and you could only hear a low male voice talking to himself.

” Seems to be an orange cat…”

“…If you bleed a cat’s tail, you can drain the poison.”

Many people had already noticed something was wrong when they heard this, and the next words completely verified their guess.

” I cut it inch by inch, nearly severing half its body, and yet it still died.”

“……”

[Netizen 20: Da** it, can he just go die right now!!!]

[Netizen 21: I really want to kill him!!]

[Netizen 22: Can we also have him executed by cutting inch by inch? Some of the ancient punishments are really useful!!]

[Netizen 23: So this idiot was no longer satisfied with attacking cats, so he attacks an innocent female classmate who trusts him?!]

This audio clip completely hammered Liang Junsheng’s crimes to death.

At this time, it had been a full five hours since this entry had just climbed onto the hot search list, and netizens had transformed into Sherlock Holmes, step by step sorting out the details of the case.

The truth that was finally drawn out made most people deeply believe it.

Although there were still people who raised questions and urged the S City police to issue a case report as soon as possible, to give everyone an accurate answer.

But in any case, the Internet was now full of scolding for Liang Junsheng, and it was almost impossible to find anyone to speak for him.

However, this was far from enough.

…

Just half an hour after the truth was revealed, Ji Xu’an received a new message from Secretary Zhao.

[President Ji, Liang Junsheng is awake.]!
