Chapter 281: False Rumors Depend Entirely on Lies
The man was speechless.
Jiang Yu looked around and said, “And all of you, just based on a few words, you’ve convicted me. Did you see me steal the plans with your own eyes and hand them over to Shun-Ning? Or did you possess Mr. An’s body and received the information with your own two hands?”
She sneered.
“False rumors depend entirely on lies. As reporters, do you still have a clear conscience?”
The young lady’s gaze was sharp. The words she said were like a gust of wind that blew across the ground, bringing with it the biting cold of winter, causing one’s face to hurt.
The entire place was silent.
Jiang Yu stood entirely alone like a strong bamboo. She stood straight and tall, allowing the wind to just blow past her from all directions.
Her gaze was indifferent, but there were slights hints of anger, especially when she had posed the question, “As reporters, do you still have a clear conscience?”
She had not said many words but it was as if she had questioned the deepest part of their hearts.
Jiang Yu looked at the work badge of the man whose camera she had smashed. “I’ll remember Tomato News. I’ll compensate for the camera.”
After saying this, Jiang Yu strode away. No one dared chase after her.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.
Why did this girl have such a strong aura?
…
After entering the estate, Jiang Yu discovered that there were more people waiting in the garden and even in the corridors.
She frowned and quickly made a call.
“Jingyi Estate, I need you to do something right now. Come over immediately.”
After hanging up, Jiang Yu went upstairs and was quickly discovered by the people waiting in the corridor.
“Isn’t… isn’t this the girl from the video? She actually appeared. This is big news!”
A few people were eyeing her covetously as they tried to surround her but Jiang Yu swept her cold eyes over them.
“Before you try to stop me, I advise you to think about the consequences first. Or, you can ask your colleagues at the entrance of the residential area. You should be able to learn something from them.”
Some people looked confused as they opened their mouths but before they could say anything, Jiang Yu’s thin lips had already spat out, “You didn’t mishear me. This is a threat.”
The few of them: … She admitted it so directly?
After Jiang Yu took a step forward, they subconsciously took a step back. Some had even forgotten to open their camera lens. As for Jiang Yu, she quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
As she knocked on the door, Jiang Yu’s voice immediately became gentle and filled with a sense of uneasiness that went unnoticed by her own self.
“Are you at home? I’m…”
She paused for a moment and said, “Yu Yu.”
The few of them were wondering… Who’s Yu Yu?
At this moment, the door was answered.
A crack appeared on the door. Jiang Yu pushed it open and entered in a flash. She then quickly closed the door.
With a bang, she shut the door behind her.
After entering the house, Jiang Yu looked at the tightly closed curtains in the living room and frowned.
“Yu Yu, why are you here?” An Yimin asked worriedly. “Did those people outside give you any trouble?!”
Xun Shaorong also looked worried. “Yu Yu, you shouldn’t have come here.”
“I managed to get in here, which means I can leave as well. You don’t have to worry about that.”
Jiang Yu looked at the obvious tiredness in An Yimin and Xun Shaorong’s eyes and knew that they probably didn’t rest well last night.
She glanced around and saw their cell phones on the sofa. “I tried to call but your phones were switched off. If it wasn’t because of a bad feeling I had, I wouldn’t have come here. Would you have kept this a secret from me otherwise?”
After asking this question, Jiang Yu noticed that An Yimin and Xun Shaorong’s expressions suddenly changed!
Chapter 282: Internet Bullies
They seemed to have acted subconsciously but they quickly realized they had done something wrong and tried to cover up the changes in their expression.
An Yimin forced a smile. “Yu Yu, it’s just a small matter. It’s nothing serious.”
Xun Shaorong chimed in, “That’s right. This small matter will be over soon. Wouldn’t we just be worrying you for nothing if we told you?”
Jiang Yu did not expose their lame lies. Instead, she asked, “What you mean is that you didn’t turn off your phones on purpose. It was because your phones ran out of juice and your phones turned off on their own, right?”
An Yimin nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. That’s the reason.”
Jiang Yu replied casually, “Then let’s charge them first. In this time and age without our phones, life is so inconvenient. I’ve seen where the charger is. I’ll go charge it for you.”
An Yimin quickly walked in front of her and blocked her way. “There’s no need.”
Jiang Yu pretended to be confused and said, “Why not? If someone can’t contact you, I’m sure they’ll be as worried as I am.”
An Yimin pursed his lips and said reluctantly, “We… Don’t have anyone that we need to contact. Besides…”
Xun Shaorong continued, “Besides, Uncle An has just been fired from the company, so he’s not in a good mood. He needs to be by himself for a while and digest all that has happened. He doesn’t want to be disturbed.”
There must be something wrong here.
They were trying to stop her, which confirmed Jiang Yu’s guess.
There must be something wrong with the phone.
She let out a sigh of relief. “If that’s the case, then I’m relieved.”
Then, Jiang Yu rubbed her stomach and pouted at Xun Shaorong. “I’m hungry. Can you cook me a bowl of noodles please?”
Xun Shaorong agreed immediately. “Sure, sure, sure. How about I cook you some noodles with minced meat?”
Jiang Yu praised, “I’m sure any noodles you cook will be delicious.”
Xun Shaorong went to the kitchen. After a while, Jiang Yu said to An Yimin, “I’m a little thirsty. Can you get me a glass of water please?”
An Yimin went to get Jiang Yu some water.
Then, Jiang Yu walked quickly to the sofa and put the phone in her pocket. When An Yimin came out of the kitchen with a glass of water, Jiang Yu smiled and said, “Can you reach out your hand? I want to read your palm.”
An Yimin did not suspect anything. He asked in surprise, “Yu Yu, when did you learn how to read palm line?”
At the same time, he offered up his hand.
Jiang Yu quickly took out the phone from her pocket and pressed it on An Yimin’s thumb. The phone was unlocked. She grabbed it, turned around, and walked into the bedroom, locking the door behind her!
An Yimin only reacted when he heard the sound of the door being locked. He slapped his head. It’s over!
In the bedroom, Jiang Yu looked at the countless missed calls in the phone record, as well as the hundreds of unread messages in the inbox. Her face turned dark.
The missed calls were all from unknown phone numbers. They came from all over the country, not to mention the texts.
There were hundreds of them. All of them were filled with insults and curses. Some of them were even more vulgar and unsightly. It was as if they wanted to dig out all eighteen generations of An Yimin’s ancestors from their graves. They wouldn’t be able to rest in peace even though they’ve died.
Jiang Yu could not imagine how they had felt when they had been facing the incessant ringing of their cell phones and the countless messages filled with rude curses?
She clenched her fists. Her face was as cold as ice but it was as if a fire had ignited in her heart. It burned brighter and brighter, and she wanted nothing more than to immediately burn these human scourges, these scum of humanity. She wanted to burn them all down.
Chapter 283: Boss, We’re Here!
These people couldn’t differentiate right from wrong, they only knew how to hide behind their screens and cause trouble on the internet. Did they think that in this way, their incompetence wouldn’t come to light?
In that case, she wanted them to realize that a loser would always be a loser. These people trying to boost their own confidence by picking on weaker people, what absolute trash.
With a cold look on her face, Jiang Yu contacted the communication team.
“I’m giving you a mission. I’ll want to see results later.”
After hanging up, Jiang Yu lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
As expected, An Yimin and Xun Shaorong were standing outside the door.
Watching Jiang Yu, An Yimin and Xun Shaorong felt uneasy.
They lowered their heads and clasped their hands together, like primary school children who had done something wrong.
An Yimin mumbled, “Yu Yu, we didn’t mean to hide it from you. It’s just that…”
It was just that their words were too harsh and they didn’t want Yuyu to see them.
Jiang Yu asked, “Are the noodles ready?”
“Yes, yes. It’s still hot. Come eat it while it’s hot.”
A blue porcelain bowl had been placed on the dining table. Jiang Yu was taking small bites of the noodles. She didn’t say anything and neither did the other two.
The phone in her pocket rang. Jiang Yu took it out and placed it on the table, ignoring it.
An Yimin’s eyebrows jumped.
The phone that Jiang Yu had taken out was his…
The phone sitting on the dining table rang continuously. When the call hung up because no one answered, a second call would come in seconds after.
It was endless, one call after another.
The people hiding behind the unfamiliar phone numbers were like zombies lurking in the sewers. Originally, they had been slow-moving and listlessly. The moment they smelled fresh blood and heard the calls of the other zombies in the group, all of them quickly rushed over.
An Yimin carefully glanced at Jiang Yu and whispered, “Yu Yu, the phone…”
Jiang Yu turned off the ringtone and said gently, “Don’t worry. Soon, no one will dare disturb you any longer.”
After saying this, she looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.
The phone screen kept flashing and flashing.
Afterward, Jiang Yu’s own phone rang. It was Feng Linbai.
“Yu’er, are you at the An residence right now?”
Jiang Yu did not hide anything. “Yes.”
Feng Linbai: “The camera had been smashed pretty well.”
Jiang Yu was silent for a moment. “You’re quite well-informed.”
“There had been a live broadcast but now I’ve taken it down. I don’t like having so many people look at you. Also…”
Feng Linbai’s voice sank. “I want to apologize to you.”
Jiang Yu asked, “What are you apologizing for?”
“I didn’t know that Uncle An and the others had been involved in this. I didn’t deal with it in time, which has caused Uncle An so much trouble. It’s my fault. I’m sorry.”
“If there really was something wrong, I’m the one at fault. This has nothing to do with you.”
Feng Linbai was taken aback. “Yu’er, you don’t have to blame yourself. It wasn’t…”
“It was because of me.”
Jiang Yu said with certainty.
Feng Linbai pinched the space between his brows and changed the topic. “I’ll send someone to pick you up. I’ll clean up the mess.”
Jiang Yu: “I’ve already made arrangements.”
Feng Linbai wasn’t surprised that Jiang Yu had her own plans. “Yu’er, but you have to give me a chance to make up for this. Can you let me ease the guilt in my heart just a little?”
Jiang Yu understood what Feng Linbai meant and did not reject him. “Fine, up to you.”
“Also, Yu’er,” Feng Linbai suggested, “Have you thought about asking Uncle An and the others to move to another place? It just so happens that I have an empty house in the Central District that’s just been newly renovated. It’s completely furnished and the environment is nice. I can let Uncle An and the others stay there.”
“I will consider it.”
She had actually thought of this before. This neighborhood was too old. The staircases and the environment were average and the security did not look good.
Not to mention, with the current situation, it would not be appropriate for An Yimin to stay here any longer.
However, Jiang Yu did not like owing favors to others. Rather than staying in Feng Linbai’s house, she’d rather buy one herself and show them her filial piety.
Before Jiang Yu could say anything, a steady voice suddenly came from the other side of the door.
“Boss, we’re here!”
The voice was loud and thunderous. It had frightened An Yimin and Xun Shaorong so much that they trembled.
Jiang Yu stood up. “I’ll go and take a look.”
An Yimin pulled her back. “Yu Yu, be careful.”
“It’s fine.”
Jiang Yu opened the door. There was a group five or six burly men standing outside. Their arms were strong, their chest muscles were well developed, and their bodies were full of muscles. They had forced the weak reporters into a corner.
