Chapter 108

Woke up to great weather this morning.

Jiang Zhinian turned over in a daze and found that the quilt where Shi Ye had slept was cold. He must have been up for a while.

She sat up and looked around the tent. There was no one there. Did they go for a morning run?

Jiang Zhinian came out of the tent in her pajamas, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and saw Shi Ye who had just returned from exercise.

“Is there a place to run nearby?”

"Well, there's a plastic running track along the mountain path."

He took off the white headband on his head, went into the tent to get his toiletries, and prepared to go to the wash area to take a shower.

"Breakfast is already prepared. After you wash up, go and have our meal. I'll come over a little later."

"good."

Jiang Zhinian went back to the tent to change clothes and went to the restaurant alone.

Coincidentally, we met the family in the tent next door on the way.

The little boy seemed quite well-behaved when his emotions were under control, but he kept looking left and right, as if he had difficulty concentrating, and his father held his arm tightly.

The mother took the little girl's hand and greeted Jiang Zhinian: "Did I disturb you last night?"

She was referring to the little boy who had been making noise in the tent until midnight and hadn't slept yet. Jiang Zhinian smiled and said, "It's okay. We go to bed late too."

She didn't want to add any more guilt to this tortured mother.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the little boy sat obediently in his seat and played with the cutlery in his hands. Apart from his slightly wandering eyes, he was actually no different from an ordinary person.

Jiang Zhinian withdrew his gaze and no longer paid attention to that family.

Shi Ye came to the restaurant and sat opposite Jiang Zhinian, and found that Jiang Zhinian was absent-minded.

"Still thinking about last night?"

Jiang Zhinian shook his head: "No, you're right, I'm just... a little worried about the mid-term Down syndrome screening next week."

Mid-term Down syndrome screening usually starts at 16 weeks of gestation, and the risk of Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities is detected through blood draws.

Shi Ye held her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, generally, those with low NT risk and middle tidal symptoms are not a big deal. It's just a routine blood test."

…

After breakfast, the two went for a walk by the lake.

"I didn't expect so many people to come fishing so early in the morning." The camp is next to a natural lake, and many people are fishing with their fishing rods.

Jiang Zhinian laughed and said, "I used to think only old men liked fishing, but I didn't expect there are so many young people who like it."

"Want to try it?"

Jiang Zhinian shook his head: "I don't have that much patience to sit there."

"Many people don't actually come here to fish, they just come here to relieve stress." They stare at the lake motionlessly, and feel justified in using this method to escape family troubles.

"I saw a joke a while ago that said men with children are more likely to work overtime. They are actually using this method to avoid spending time with their children."

Not only that, some people are clearly not working overtime, but would rather sit in the garage for half an hour after work than go home early.

Shi Ye held her hand and said calmly, "In fact, most people in this world just go with the flow."

When the time comes, they get married and have children without thinking clearly about why they want to get married or why they want to have children.

After the child is born, they start to regret why it was so difficult to raise the child, so they start to escape like a child and shift the responsibility of raising the child to their wife and parents.

Jiang Zhinian looked at Shi Ye: "Then...what about you? Have you thought it through?"

Ever since Shi Ye appeared in her life, every decision he made seemed to be made very quickly.

Has he really thought it through?

Shi Ye chuckled: "Don't you think it's too late to ask this question now?"

"Just asking." Jiang Zhinian stretched out his hand and tickled his waist. "Answer me quickly."

Shi Ye turned around and caught her, holding her in his arms, and patted her head: "I don't regret the decision I made."

Regret is just internal consumption. Once you make a decision, you have to take responsibility for it.

Jiang Zhinian put his arm around his waist intimately: "Me too, I don't regret it either."

…

After taking a short walk by the lake, the two returned to the tent.

Shi Ye received news from Zhou Hongsheng.

"Tokigami! How was your time? Did you have fun?!"

"Well, thanks for the car."

"You're welcome. I'm sorry to bother you two because I found a lead on the rumor-mongering IP address you asked me to investigate last time."

The other party sent a file package over, and Shi Ye unzipped it and opened it.

"These rumor-mongering IP addresses were originally created by cyber-troll companies and are difficult to track. However, a few days ago, I suspected that one of them had misidentified the account. After hacking someone, they actually posted a question on the forum about the kindergarten lottery. Although they quickly deleted it, I still managed to catch it."

"Then I followed up on this information and found that the person on the other end was a man named Gao Qi, who was probably an employee of a water army company."

Zhou Hongsheng sent the photo of that man over. Shi Ye enlarged it and found that it was the father of the little girl who was lost when they were shopping at the market during the New Year.

So that's why. No wonder he paid so much attention to Jiang Zhinian. It turned out that Hei Duo was feeling guilty.

"Got it. I'll take care of the rest."

Shi Ye put away his phone and informed Jiang Zhinian of this matter.

Jiang Zhinian was a little shocked: "You said that those people who scolded me in college didn't really hate me, but were hired as a troll army to scold me?"

Shi Ye hadn't told Jiang Zhinian about this before because he felt that he might not be able to track down the specific person. If he told her in advance, it might make her wait in vain.

"Well, do you feel better now?"

There aren't really that many people in this world who hate her.

She was simply thrown into the whirlpool of public opinion after being carefully designed, and the group of people who did not know the truth were deliberately guided and coerced into committing online violence against her.

Jiang Zhinian felt a little dazed. It turned out that the emotions that had troubled her for many years were just the malicious designs of others.

"Who is it..." Who hates her so much.

"Give me some time, I'll find out soon."

Jiang Zhinian threw herself into Shi Ye's arms: "I feel it's so unreal. How could someone in this world do such a thing?"

She thought of the express delivery a few days ago: "Shi Ye, those bugs."

Jiang Tao checked those bugs, and unfortunately, the sender was a professional seller of food for exotic pets on a local forum. When someone placed an order on the forum, he would send the goods according to the address.

"The buyer was very clever and used a third-party overseas to top up the account and conduct the transaction."

Simply put, no trace was left.

However, Jiang Zhinian's reminder gave Shi Ye a new idea.

He sent a message to Zhou Hongsheng.

"Check the transactions of Gao Qi's company to see if there are any transactions conducted through overseas third-party top-ups."

If they match, it means that the person who parasited the virus and the person who spread rumors on the forum are the same person.
