Chapter 54: A sharp turn for the worse

Qu Man's ward is on the ninth floor.

When the elevator reached the first floor, the elevator door suddenly opened. There was only one person standing outside the door. It was Zhang Cheng who was out shopping.

"Mr. Zhang, why are you here?" Jiang Yanyu asked with a smile.

Zhang Cheng didn't recognize Jiang Yanyu. He glanced at Luo Qinglin and Qin Xiaoxi and said hesitantly, "You, you guys go up first. I'll just take the next elevator."

Jiang Yanyu's expression immediately changed when he heard this. He darkened and ordered, "Bring him in and take him up with you."

The bald man received the order, stepped out of the elevator, quickly grabbed Zhang Cheng's hands, twisted them behind his back, and escorted him into the elevator like a prisoner.

Zhang Cheng's body was full of fat, and his hands were twisted behind his back, feeling like they were being twisted in a knot, which was extremely painful.

"Who are you?"

"Let me go! I'm calling the police!"

"Mr. Luo, what on earth is going on?!"

Zhang Cheng struggled and yelled, his voice as loud as a pig's howl, which made Jiang Yanyu upset.

"Tell him to shut up." Jiang Yanyu said.

"yes."

The bald man pulled out a folded handkerchief from his handkerchief pouch, flicked it open gracefully, spread it on his palm, and then pressed it against Zhang Cheng's mouth with a snap.

"Mmmmm!"

Even with his mouth covered, Zhang Cheng refused to give up and shouted even louder. From the tone of his voice, it sounded like he was cursing someone.

"Mr. Zhang, I advise you to be quiet," Jiang Yanyu said, "otherwise prison will be your destination in the next life."

"Let me think, what crime will the police charge you with?" Jiang Yanyu said slowly, "Illegal detention? Group fornication? Or...drug abuse?"

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he stopped making trouble and even breathed lightly, trying not to make any sound.

bite!

The ninth floor was reached in a flash. Jiang Yanyu was the first to step out of the elevator and strode towards the ward.

The wards on the ninth floor are luxuriously decorated. There are less than ten wards on the entire floor. Each ward is not only spacious but also decorated with warm colors to make the room cozy.

Several nurses on duty saw a large group of people walking out of the elevator and stood up hurriedly, trying to stop them.

Jiang Yanyu said to the nurse, "Don't be nervous. I have already informed Dean Liang. I believe he has already notified everyone on his phone?"

"Mr. Jiang?" The nurse glanced nervously at the burly man behind Jiang Yanyu and asked in disbelief.

Jiang Yanyu smiled faintly and nodded, then turned around and continued walking towards the ward.

Luo Qinglin and Qin Xiaoxi followed closely behind, exchanged glances, and took out their phones to chat secretly.

[Qin Xiaoxi: Is Brother Jiang a gangster boss? [Cat shocked.jpg]

【Luo Qinglin: I don’t think so...】

[Qin Xiaoxi: But last time in Yeyu City, a group of men in black also kidnapped Lin Han! 】

【Luo Qinglin:? ! [Cat shocked.jpg]

"Qin Xiaoxi, you go in first." Jiang Yanyu shouted at the door of the ward, "Everyone, disperse. Don't gather at the door."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxi immediately put away her phone, walked to the door, took a deep breath, and pressed the doorknob.

There was no light in the ward and it was pitch black. The curtains closed without leaving a gap.

The white light from the hospital corridor leaked into the ward, and Qin Xiaoxi followed the light and walked lightly inside.

"Qu Man?"

Qin Xiaoxi shouted, but got no response, so she quickened her pace and walked towards the center of the room.

The quilt was spread on the bed, arched into an arc shape. It was obvious that Qu Man was hiding inside and didn't want to come out.

Qin Xiaoxi walked to the bedside and asked in a low voice: "Qu Man, are you awake? Qu Man?"

After asking several questions, Qu Man didn't answer. Qin Xiaoxi felt something was wrong and pulled back the quilt.

"ah!!!"

"Let me go!"

"Get out! Get out!"

When the quilt was lifted, a scream was heard from inside. The scream was sharp, piercing and terrifying, which shocked everyone standing outside.

Jiang Yanyu frowned and called Qin Xiaoxi, saying, "Tell her that Zhuang Yiqing didn't come and Zhang Cheng was also caught by me, and no one will hurt her now.

"Let's calm her down before we go in. Hurry up." Jiang Yanyu said coldly.

Qu Man covered her head and hunched over, still screaming.

Qin Xiaoxi hung up the phone, leaned over, hugged her and comforted her, saying: "It's okay, it's okay, from now on no one will hurt you again."

After a few words of comfort, Qu Man's screams gradually stopped, but her body was still shaking and tears kept streaming down.

Qin Xiaoxi took out a tissue to wipe the tears from her face, patted her back and asked, "Do you want to talk to me?"

Seeing Qu Man looking at her warily, Qin Xiaoxi asked softly, "Do you want to hear my story first?"

Qu Man didn't answer, she looked at Qin Xiaoxi while sobbing.

Tears flowed in her eyes, crystal clear. Qu Man seemed to have let down her guard and waited obediently for Qin Xiaoxi's next words.

"I used to..."

There were intermittent voices coming from the ward.

Jiang Yanyu half leaned against the wall with his arms folded, looking impatient. From time to time, he shifted his gaze to Zhang Cheng and gave him a threatening look.

A large group of people were standing in the corridor. The nurses and caregivers passing by looked at them sideways and walked lightly, for fear of accidentally offending them.

Luo Qinglin coughed uncomfortably, leaned close to Jiang Yanyu's ear and whispered, "What projects do you have in mind for cooperation with Zhuang Yiqing? How much will it affect you?"

Jiang Yanyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Are you afraid that I will go bankrupt and won't be able to support you?"

"No," Luo Qinglin pouted and muttered, "If you don't want to say it, forget it. I still don't want to know."

Jiang Yanyu replied: "La Pluie is a brand I founded, but I rarely manage it and usually let it grow freely."

Is La Pluie Jiang Yanyu’s brand? !

Luo Qinglin stared and asked, "You asked me to be in charge of this shoot?"

"So what?" Jiang Yanyu snorted coldly, "You promised last time that you wouldn't refuse my 'gift'. It's only been a few days, and you want to go back on your word?"

Luo Qinglin tried to defend himself: "I didn't..."

"Liar, not trustworthy." Jiang Yanyu deliberately covered his ears and shook his head.

This childish ghost.

Luo Qinglin sighed and got back to the point, "What should we do about Zhuang Yiqing's matter?"

Although the trending search for Qu Man's suicide lasted only a few minutes, the fan group and super topic had already exploded. The word spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people, and everyone flocked to the studio's Weibo to make a fuss.

"Luo Qinglin, what do you want me to do? Let La Pluie China terminate the contract with him?" Jiang Yanyu put away his joking attitude.

"If there is no evidence that he abused Qu Man, what grounds will La Pluie use to terminate the contract?"

Jiang Yanyu stared at Luo Qinglin and asked, "If he is promiscuous and cheating, then who will compensate La Pluie for the money and manpower invested in the Chinese district during this period?"

"I know you want to help Qu Man, but I'm not a philanthropist. My priority is not to help whoever is in trouble, but how to minimize my losses."

Jiang Yanyu's endless stream of words choked Luo Qinglin to the point of being speechless.

Luo Qinglin knows too well the importance of money.

When he was hungry and cold, he begged God not to get sick and not to be a burden to others.

So even though he made money later and had a few hundred thousand saved in his bank account, he was reluctant to waste even one more dollar.

He felt painful even for wasting one dollar, so how could he be qualified to persuade Jiang Yanyu to help Qu Man and lose hundreds of millions of funds as a result.

He could brazenly say that he would help Qu Man because he didn't have to pay any price.

The reason why Jiang Yanyu was unwilling to help was because the one who had to pay the price was Jiang Yanyu himself.

Luo Qinglin lowered his head and was silent for a while before he asked in a hoarse voice: "Then...what are you going to do?"

"I will use the evidence to make a deal with the capital behind Zhuang Yiqing, and let those idiots return the money I might have lost tenfold or a hundredfold to me."

Jiang Yanyu paused, then added: "However, I will send someone to protect Qu Man so that she will not be harmed by Zhuang Yiqing again. But on the surface, she must continue to act with Zhuang Yiqing until the contract expires."

Luo Qinglin didn't say anything and nodded silently.

Although he felt depressed, Luo Qinglin knew that this was the most appropriate solution at the moment.

"The trending searches for Qu Man's suicide should be put back on," Jiang Yanyu took out his phone and said to Zhang Cheng, "You can make a statement later, saying it's a rumor and hyping it up."

Zhang Cheng quickly nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

Seeing Zhang Cheng's cowardly look, Jiang Yanyu rolled his eyes at him again, then opened Weibo to check the situation.

But the moment the page opened, Jiang Yanyu suddenly pursed his lips, and his eyes flashed with a gloomy and cruel look.

Jiang Yanyu put down his phone, slowly walked in front of Zhang Cheng, and looked down at him as if he was an ant.

Just as Zhang Cheng was puzzled, Jiang Yanyu suddenly raised his foot and kicked him in the abdomen.

"You dare to play tricks on me?" Jiang Yanyu's tone was sinister, but a kind smile appeared on his face.

“Ugh!!!”

Zhang Cheng whimpered in pain and kept shaking his head. Sweat broke out on his forehead and dripped down his temples.

Luo Qinglin took out his phone in confusion and checked Weibo.

[Qu Man committed suicide because of insults from the photographer]

【Jiang Yanyu's Boyfriend】

【Moon Phase Studio】

Several entries were too popular, and the one about Qu Man's suicide went viral.

When you click on the entry, the first thing you see is a long Weibo post by Zhuang Yiqing.

Zhuang Yiqing wrote several hundred words, accusing Luo Qinglin of verbally humiliating Qu Man during today's filming, and demanding that Yue Xiang Studio apologize and take responsibility.

The comments below were full of curses and condemnations. Netizens no longer cared about the "implicit rule" of not mentioning Luo Qinglin's name, and instead directly used his name to curse.

[Please God, take him away quickly!] 】

Why isn’t he dead yet? 】

[Today I will act like a snowflake and drive this idiot to death. 】

What's wrong with mentioning the name? I just want to say that Luo Qinglin should die, Luo Qinglin should die to atone for his sins, and Luo Qinglin should go to hell! 】

......

Bang! Bang!

Jiang Yanyu was still kicking Zhang Cheng, and his face became paler and paler, and even his whimpering was almost gone.

Luo Qinglin threw away his phone, hugged Jiang Yanyu from behind, and pulled him away, "Stop kicking, or something bad will happen!"

Afraid of hurting Luo Qinglin by struggling, Jiang Yanyu let him pull her back, but stared at Zhang Cheng fiercely.

Jiang Yanyu's smile was even kinder. He squinted his eyes and said:

"You and Zhuang Yiqing, wait for me."
