Chapter 114

Chu Zhen learned through Chu Tian that Amy had indeed returned to China, and her appearance made both Chu Zhen and me more vigilant. Although Li Guoqiang stated in his police confession that Amy was innocently implicated, only we know the truth. I didn't report her kidnapping because she saved Chu Zhen's life, and I repaid her with Chu Zhen's knife and the scar on my face. However, if she continues her evil deeds this time, neither of us will show any mercy.

Huang Yanyan's matter is not so easy to resolve. Television and print media, adhering to the principle of reporting the truth of the matter, have not speculated extensively and have been following up on it. However, online media have been spreading the news extensively. Under pressure, the construction site was ordered to completely stop work. Coupled with the previous anonymous reports from citizens about supermarkets and shopping malls, Huang's Group has fallen into an unprecedented credibility crisis. The group's senior management is putting pressure on Yanyan every day. Huang Yanyan is now in a state of utter distress.

"Lin Dang, they actually brought the urn to the entrance of the Huang Group! We need to hurry over there!" As soon as Song Ji-hyo hung up the phone, I rushed to the Huang Group.

The scene was already packed with people. Previously, it was just some nephews of the gatekeeper causing trouble, but today some elders had also come. In the crowd, the eldest sister knelt at the door holding a portrait of the deceased. Compared to the "righteous indignation" of others, everyone's expressions appeared particularly desolate and sorrowful. Kneeling with the eldest sister was her daughter. Shouldn't she be at school today? Why was the child here too? White wreaths, chrysanthemums all over the ground, and wails of grief filled the air. The entrance to the Huang Group was completely surrounded. Not only were there onlookers, but also several local media outlets. Unexpectedly, they arrived even faster than us.

"Where is Yan Yan now?" Song Ji-hyo asked me in a low voice, afraid that if others heard us, we would become the target of everyone's criticism.

"We can't get in touch with them, and Chen Weiqi's phone is also unreachable. Chu Zhen has already tried to find them." After the incident, Chu Zhen and I split up. Although he was very worried about my safety, the overall situation was more important. In broad daylight, I would be fine.

Having learned from the previous experience, the station sent other colleagues this time. Song Zhixiao and I slowly approached the eldest sister. During this period of contact with the eldest sister, she had accepted all the compensation offered by Huang Yanyan, giving her a one-time cash payment of one million. At the same time, Huang Yanyan transferred a three-bedroom house under his own name to the eldest sister. Huang Yanyan would be responsible for the education of her child up to university. The eldest sister could also work in a supermarket or shopping mall under Huang's control. The eldest sister agreed with this compensation measure. It's just that she is still kneeling here today.

We couldn't get close to the eldest sister; she was in the center of the crowd, and I was worried that if we went over, it would cause a commotion among the younger generation.

"Could you film the whole scene clearly, so that everyone is in the shot?" I said to the cameraman.

"No problem, but Sister Lin Dang, Teacher Chu repeatedly warned you not to be too reckless. If something happens to you, we won't be able to explain it to Teacher Chu."

"This Master Chu's reach is really far, even extending to our department's cameramen~" Song Ji-hyo laughed. "It's okay, you guys must make sure to film everyone on set very clearly. As for the tasks Master Chu assigned to you, I'll complete them for you."

Song Ji-hyo and I walked to the station's car. Compared to other scenes of disturbance, this scene was relatively peaceful. Today, my older sister and daughter were kneeling here. Song Ji-hyo and I firmly believed that someone was behind this, giving these people advice. And the instigator would not just let it go like this; there would definitely be a bigger uproar.

Around noon, the surrounding office buildings had all closed for the day, and a growing crowd had gathered at the entrance. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Give me justice! Give me back my life!" "The unscrupulous Huang family, murderers!"...

"Did you get a picture?" I quickly asked the cameraman. Sure enough, someone was fanning the flames, and this person was crucial.

"We got the shot, but you can't go down now. The atmosphere in the stadium is too intense." The cameraman was worried we'd have to go down, but having learned from past mistakes, I wasn't about to throw myself in. As long as I got the shot, that was enough.

Huang Yanyan never showed up. By the afternoon, under the blazing sun, many people began to disperse. Finally, the victims' families also left one after another, and the whole place became quiet, leaving only the trampled chrysanthemums as evidence of what had just happened.

Song Ji-hyo and I stayed in the editing room, replaying the daytime videos over and over again. Everything seemed normal, just a typical workers' rights protest, but it wasn't quite normal.

“Lin Dang, this is the man~” Song Ji-hyo pointed to a man dressed in black clothes and a black hat, “He was the one who started the commotion, and he stayed here the whole time, until the crowd was the largest, when he started the commotion.”

“Investigate this person.” We took a screenshot and sent it to Wang Sihong. He has connections at the police station in City A, and that person helped us find Lu Hong before.

The news didn't arrive as quickly as it did last time. The person was wearing a hat and a mask, with the brim pulled down, making it difficult to match with just a pair of eyes.

"Lin Dang, they'll definitely cause trouble again if Huang Yanyan doesn't show up. Keep an eye on things," Wang Sihong specifically called to remind me.

"Yes, thank you so much. You're always bothering us with our problems."

"When did we become so polite between us? Just be careful, and don't hurt yourself again. Chu Zhen promised me she would protect you, but she still got hurt. I'm not willing to give up on her like this. If you get hurt again, I'll bring you back to City A!"

"I will protect my wife. If you want to take my wife away, I guarantee you won't be able to leave City A." I don't know when, but Chu Zhen was standing next to me and had heard my conversation with Wang Sihong. His tone really had the air of a domineering CEO.

"Alright, that's enough for now. We'll keep an eye on it. Please also talk to your friend and ask them to find out who it is as soon as possible." I hung up the phone immediately after saying that. Chu Zhen's face was as black as Bao Gong's.

"I know people in the police station, why are you looking for Wang Sihong?"

"The people you know work in criminal investigation, while Wang Sihong knows people in the archives. Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, right?" I said with a smile. "Are you jealous?"

"Yes, I'm jealous. I'll contact Wang Sihong from now on. That guy is trying to take you away from me. Lin Dang, you can't let him sway you."

Chu Zhen said childishly, her jealousy has really been growing lately.

"Okay, I won't listen to him anymore, I'll listen to you from now on~"

Sigh, it's true, men are all like children, they need to be coaxed, even Chu Zhen, a man who is past forty, is like that.
