Chapter 392: I'll Fight for You Even at the Risk of It (5)
The next morning, at the Xiaowan Village Resort Office.
Tian Fushun was drinking tea and reading the newspaper, which has always been his habit.
He has had no free time since the resort opened. The entire village has put in a lot of effort to become a city-level "model village."
Recently, it is a period of vigorous publicity, but Tian Xin has been emotionally unstable since she was kidnapped, so he took the opportunity to give her a vacation and let her go back to have a good rest for a few days.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this girl recently. I heard from Li Aiying that she goes to the county town every day, and when she comes back she looks worried. She doesn’t eat or talk, and goes straight back to her room to sleep. The next day she is the same as before.
This can't go on.
He was thinking of asking Tian Xin for questioning, but before he could make the call, a piece of news in the newspaper broke his defenses.
"The eldest son of the Lin Group was openly attacked on the eve of his wedding, and his fiancée, seeking justice for him, was attacked back."
Tian Fushun spat out a mouthful of tea, then choked and started coughing, which scared the assistant next to him.
"What's wrong with you?" The assistant hurriedly handed him the paper. Tian Fushun didn't bother to take it, and continued to read on in shock.
This was the Sanqin Metropolitan News, the most influential local newspaper. The entire front page was devoted to a story: Lin Zhou was hit by a car before his wedding. His fiancée sought justice for him, but was deliberately obstructed by the murderer's family. Meanwhile, his future father-in-law, also a family member, remained ambivalent and declined to pursue the matter.
At the side of the report was a large photo of Tian Xin holding her wedding photo and crying.
Tian Fushun glanced at the corner of the newspaper and confirmed that it was today's date. Then he hurriedly asked someone to call Li Aiying.
Half an hour later, Li Aiying arrived in a hurry. Not only did she come, but Li Baiwan followed her.
Apparently, he wasn't the only one who knew the news.
Li Aiying seemed to know what was going on. After arriving, she only said one sentence to Tian Fushun: "Tian Xin did nothing wrong in this matter, but I don't know all the twists and turns. Brother, you should find her back."
She spoke with tears in her eyes and seemed really anxious.
Ever since she was kidnapped, Tian Xin had been in a very bad state, and as a mother, she couldn't control her. There was nothing she could do - Tian Xin was too stubborn.
She only found out about it that morning. Before leaving, Tian Xin mentioned it to her, saying that Lin Zhou became like this because of her, and that whatever she did was what she should do, so she should not get involved and not care about what others said.
Li Baiwan saw her on the way here. They came to see the situation in the demonstration village together. He was also shocked when he heard about this.
In this situation, as a businessman, his first reaction was to quickly block the news and not let the villagers know, so as to avoid rumors flying around and affecting Tian Xin's reputation.
Furthermore, quickly find Tian Xin and ask her what happened.
After all, after many years of operation, Tian Fushun, after hearing this, immediately called a meeting of the team leaders as he said, collected today's newspapers again, and repeatedly ordered them not to spread them around.
The villagers were busy at the moment. Since the online store opened, fewer people had been reading newspapers. When this news broke, it wasn't just the Sanqin Metropolitan Newspaper; the Chang'an Street website, which the villagers visited daily, also picked up the news. The village was instantly in an uproar.
But the news did not reach Tian Fushun, and everyone was discussing it in private.
Tian Xin's phone was always busy and couldn't be reached.
Tian Fushun told Li Aiying not to rush and wait patiently for news. Meanwhile, he immediately sent someone to the county town to look for Tian Xin.
For the rest of the morning, the phone in the office basically kept ringing, with people constantly calling to verify whether the person in the photo was Tian Xin.
Among these people were secretaries of leaders at all levels in the town, county, and neighboring villages, as well as some investors who were originally contacted by Tian Xin.
But Tian Xin was quite clever in this matter. In all reports, she was named "Lin Zhou's fiancée" without any name, and the photo only showed her in profile, which could not prove that it was her.
On the other side, the phones in Liang Qiuye and Lin Zhenhua’s offices were also flooded with calls.
Liang Qiuye was still lying in the hospital. With his weak body having just undergone surgery, he called Lin Zhenhua with trembling hands.
"I've already told you, there's still room for improvement. It doesn't have to be a catastrophe. Brother, we've been friends for so many years, why do you have to kick me when I'm down and force me to death now?"
He coughed as he spoke, and looked at the termination contracts that kept coming from his secretary, and he almost couldn't breathe.
After his wife and daughter were arrested, he was completely alone. Apart from those who needed his help, all his friends and relatives avoided him like the plague, fearing he would get into trouble.
There was only one person who gave him a little warmth at this time.
This person is none other than Lin Zhenhua’s current wife, Li Qingning.
Li Qingning, as Lin Zhenhua's wife, had always been at the service of the Liang family. The reasons were simple: first, the Liang family had facilitated her marriage to Lin Zhenhua; second, they wanted to ensure her son had a share of the group's profits. Since Lin Zhou withdrew his shares, her son had absolute inheritance rights.
But whether she can be the sole heir depends on the shareholders, and the only person she can hold on to is Liang Qiuye.
As long as Liang Qiuye does not withdraw from the company and allows the company to remain standing, she will be the biggest beneficiary.
So at that moment, when she heard Liang Qiuye's roar coming from Lin Zhenhua's mobile phone, her first reaction was shock, and her second reaction was to persuade Lin Zhenhua not to go too far. After all, the Liang family can now decide the lifeblood of the company, so it is not good to be too harsh.
How could Lin Zhenhua not know?
When he saw the newspaper, he was almost mad with anger and immediately asked someone to find Tian Xin for questioning. But Tian Xin seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and could not be found anywhere.
There was no other way, he could only ask Zhou Ruilian, but Zhou Ruilian also didn't know.
Looking at his phone that was blowing up and Liang Qiuye who kept threatening him to make a decision, he had no choice but to suppress the news and delay the situation; then he patiently explained to his customers and shareholders one by one that it was a misunderstanding and a rumor.
But how could the front-page news published by "Sanqin Metropolitan News" be fake?
Of course, no one believed it.
So in just one day, the Lin Group and the Liang Group - the two leading companies that hold an absolute leading position in the ancient city, fell one after another.
The reporters and colleagues who came to find out the truth almost overturned the company security guards, who were unable to hold on at all.
Li Qingning looked at Lin Zhenhua sighing but there was nothing she could do. After a fake sigh, she took the initiative to ask him to do the job of reconciling with Liang Qiuye.
Lin Zhenhua had no other choice but to listen to her and let her go.
Just when the three parties were in a mess and no one could make sense of it, Tian Xin, the "core figure" of the incident, discussed the next plan with Zhang Shuai and Li Jing in the house they lived in in LZ County.
The key to the house was given by Zhou Ruilian, and it was also her suggestion to decorate it as a wedding room.
Before Tian Xin decided to do this, she first got her approval.
She gave Tian Xin the bracelet that Tian Xin had returned, along with the "bride price" that Lin Zhou had specifically instructed her to give her before proposing to her.
The photo in the newspaper of Tian Xin crying while holding her wedding photo was taken by her.
"Girl, from today on, regardless of whether the law recognizes it or not, I acknowledge you as my daughter-in-law."
Zhou Ruilian said to her, "Don't worry, I will stand with you and will not let Lin Zhenhua threaten you. If my son can wake up, I will hold a wedding for you."
