Chief Editor Liu's was so courteous that Jennie was confused.
"Chief Editor Liu, didn't you say that the article
can't be published..."
"Little Kim, after giving it some thoughts, I feel that what you've said makes perfect sense. The professional ethics of a reporter is not to be afraid of those in power and to expose the truth. What's more, what you've written is from the perspective of the victim, and you didn't distort the facts, so why can't it be published?"
Chief Editor Liu sounded sonorous, which was a total opposite from how he spoke this morning. Jennie could not make heads or tails of the situation for a moment.
"Since that's what you've said, then I'll just publish it. There isn't any part that needs amendment. I've already revised it many times yesterday."
Hanging up the call, Jennie was still uncertain.
Little did she expect after half an hour her article was published, it would stir up a huge commotion on the Internet!
There were overwhelming comments coming from various parties. Through Jennie's article, the people learned about the tragic death of the leader of the fight with the armed forces a few days ago and how woeful the family situation was. The truth behind the case was suddenly a hot topic.
At the same time, the organization department and the Commission for Discipline Inspection received reports from numerous informants.
The two departments' email inboxes were spammed with evidence of Nie Chao breaking the law and scandalous photos of his messy nightlife.
There were even a few photos showing Sun Xu working as a waiter at the scene.
This time, the Commission for Discipline Inspection was in chaos!
On the other side, Xiao Jiang went to Lele's granny's house to retrieve the reading pen. After the technology department made a comparison, they confirmed that the recording was Nie Chao talking about the military pensions with a few colleagues in the club.
Public opinion changed in an instance. Initially, the case was about to be buried, and everything would be peaceful after another two days. However, with the emergence of a report, a document, and a recording now, Nie Chao was unable to justify himself!
In the days that followed, every department was bustling about.
Sun Xu's murderer was captured in City A, and it was said that the arrest had happened in a certain celebrity's music concert...
Jennie watched the instant reversal of the plot and was
confused.
Chaeyoung had been busy with the case after returning, and it was only after the murderer was convicted that she could finally take a break.
"Jennie, wanna go have some skewers tonight?"
Chaeyoung came to invite Jennie. Her article was impressive, it had been a turning point for the case. At the same time, all her speculations were verified, and they were able to acquire that crucial recording pen.
Nie Chao was prosecuted by the justice department, and Chaeyoung felt that she should treat Jennie to a meal.
Jennie looked at her watch and saw that it was time to get off work. In her heart, she was also craving for those barbeque skewers and beer.
"Let's go." "Your treat!"
Jennie looked at Chaeyoung's neck under the scarf. Seeing the hickeys that had not disappeared even after a few days, she gave her a mischievous smirk.
Her phone rang just at that opportune moment.
"Jennie, are you free?" Tzuyu's voice sounded frail.
"Tzuyu, shouldn't you be discharged from the hospital already?"
Jennie was a little embarrassed. Since Tzuyu's incident, she had only gone to the hospital once due to her hectic schedule.
"Yes." Tzuyu hesitated for a moment before carefully asking, "Are you free to come and pick me up?"
Hearing that, Jennie immediately answered, "Wait for me. I'm already off work. I'll head over there now."
When Chaeyoung heard that Jennie had other plans, she
waved her hands to bid goodbye.
...
Sheng Yu Hospital.
Tzuyu's private duty nurse had packed her things for her. The woman who had been lying on the hospital bed had a pale complexion, her leg was still wrapped in a cast. She sat in the wheelchair and stared at Jennie.
When Jennie rushed over and saw Tzuyu's pitiful look, she was greatly saddened.
She was discharged from the hospital, but Taecyeon could not even fulfill his duty as a husband.
Xue Meiwei had said that she would send a maid over, but after waiting for a long time, no one appeared, hence Tzuyu could only call Jennie to ask for her help.
"How are you feeling?" Jennie helped her into the passenger seat and kept the wheelchair in the trunk.
"I'm alright, except that I can't go out for some time. The saying goes that it takes about a hundred days for bones and muscles to heal. I'd still have to rest even after the cast is removed."
Tzuyu's tone was plain, but her eyes were filled with grievances. The Manoban Family's second son had treated this woman such indifferently. Jennie felt dejected and did not know what to talk about.
The car entered the Manoban Family Mansion, and in front of Peace Mansion was the black Maybach that Taecyeon often drove.
It turned out that Taecyeon was at home!
Jennie got down and called for the maids to come help move Tzuyu's stuff.
When Xue Meiwei came out and saw Jennie, her expression turned unsightly. She reprimanded Tzuyu in a low voice, "Why didn't you call home?" "If the outsiders knew that Jennie was the one who had brought you back, they might think that we're abusing you..."
"I called home, but no one picked up." Tzuyu had indeed called the landline, but not a maid was around to answer the call.
"Your father had an argument with Taecyeon, and the maids were trying to dissuade them, so how would they hear it?"
Xue Meiwei's tone was impatient.
She looked at the busy Jennie and was disgruntled. "If it wasn't for this mistress of Lisa, how would there be such trouble, and how would Taecyeon be beaten by your father?"
Hearing that, Tzuyu's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Jennie, not knowing what had happened.
Seeing that everything had been moved out from her car, Jennie smilingly said to Xue Meiwei, "Second Aunt, my task here is done. Tzuyu needs some rest, so I'll come and see her in a few days' time."
Xue Meiwei could hardly keep her cool. Seeing Jennie's calm and composed look, she coldly sneered.
"Jennie seems quite busy, so there's no need for you to concern yourself of Tzuyu's situation." "However, Second Uncle would really have to treat you to a feast. Have mercy on us, the great reporter Kim!"
Jennie was stunned by her remark.
Her relationship with Xue Meiwei had never been hostile. She was an elder, and even if she was to make some sarcastic comments, Jennie could never give tit for tat and retort.
She felt upset, but she could only suppress her anger. Holding it in,
another thought came to her mind. Xue Meiwei had mentioned her occupation, hence it probably had something to with Nie Chao's case that was being reported in the news these few days.
The woman smiled. "What does Second Aunt mean?" "I've always been respectful of Second Uncle and have not offended him." "What's more, as a reporter, the people and matters that I report have to do with those who abused and broke the law. This has nothing to do with
Second Uncle. I wonder why did Second Aunt suddenly make such a statement?"
Jennie spoke decently, and this put Xue Meiwei in an
uncomfortable position instead.
Xue Meiwei did not care about Jennie but led the maids to move Tzuyu's stuff inside. She then said, "If you're thinking of becoming a good wife and working in collusion to take down the Manoban Family's second son, you're still a long way off!"
Tzuyu. did not quite understand her mother-in-law's words, and she felt embarrassed as it was she who had asked Jennie to come over.
"Jennie, Mother probably didn't mean anything bad. When I've recovered, I'll come and look for you to thank you."
When Xue Meiwei saw that Tzuyu was still conversing with Jennie, her expression turned cold. "Tzuyu, aren't you coming in yet?" "Do you intend to turn your back against your family and help an outsider?"
Tzuyu's complexion paled in an instance. She turned her wheelchair around and looked back to express her apologies to Jennie as she entered Peace Mansion.
Although Jennie felt aggrieved, she did not tear up over such a petty matter. Sending Tzuyu off with her gaze, she then turned around and drove her car to the garage.
The moment she arrived at Hibiscus Garden, Ah Fu greeted her. Her face had an unnatural expression as she whispered, "Mistress, Miss Mcdonie is here!" "She's been waiting for some time.."
