Chapter 83 He was almost heartbroken
Zhu Wendong vaguely remembered what Zhu Shouwen said five years ago: "He can help cover up the hospital's affairs."
If she wanted to send Zhu Linbin to jail completely, the locator in her hand alone would not be enough to convict him, and she needed another piece of evidence.
The next day, Zhu Wendong stood in front of the study window, gazing at the warm winter sun hanging high in the sky in the distance, and finally chose to dial that phone number.
"I need you to testify in court, which may expose your privacy and require you to recall your past. Are you willing?"
There was a long silence on the other side. "I finally forgot about that incident. Why did you bring it up in front of me?"
Zhu Wendong choked up and said in a calm voice, "I'm quite famous now. We can use the popularity and public opinion to overwhelm him."
"...I'll think about it."
Zhu Wendong didn't force her and replied calmly, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open.
"You really don't need my help?"
Qi Yanxue leaned against the door, his brows twisted into a "川" shape, faint bruises were visible under his eyes, and his hair was messy and disorderly.
He looked as if he hadn't slept all night, and he looked a little broken and tired.
Zhu Wendong walked over and smoothed down his hair, saying slowly, "I want to solve this problem myself."
It can be regarded as an explanation to Zhu Wendong five years ago, and also as an understanding to my past self.
She couldn't live in the shadows all her life, nor could she let people like Zhu Linbin remain at large.
Qi Yanxue buried his head in her neck, smelling the pleasant scent of white tea on her body, and gradually calmed down.
Zhu Wendong let him lean on her, with inexplicable emotions hidden in her eyes, and said, "Don't you blame me for lying to you five years ago?"
Qi Yanxue placed his hands on her slender waist, clasping them tightly, their bodies pressed against each other, as if leaving no room for a gap. Even so, he still felt it was not enough.
"I don't blame you."
He blamed himself.
If he could compete with Qi Kancheng five years ago.
If only he hadn't been so busy five years ago.
If he had been able to sense her emotions and notice her abnormality five years ago.
Is it possible to protect her better and prevent her from going through this?
He hated his powerlessness and his incompetence.
What he hated from the beginning to the end was himself.
Zhu Wendong was about to speak when drops of water fell from his neck, rolling down his skin and bringing a burst of coolness.
"Qi Yanxue, are you crying?" she asked in a low voice uncertainly.
Qi Yanxue said nothing, his eyes lightly closed, his head buried deep in her neck again, his finger bones around her waist tensed tightly, blood vessels bulged and burst on his arms, as if he was trying hard to restrain something.
"Chu Chu, leave it to me."
Zhu Wendong pursed his lips and said, "I want to solve this matter myself. Qi Yanxue, you will respect me, right?"

At noon, the girl she called received a response.
She took the initiative to ask Zhu Wendong to meet her at a coffee shop.
Zhu Wendong arrived at the agreed location ten minutes early in the afternoon. She sat upright, sipping her coffee carefully.
Five minutes later, the girl hurried over. She put down her bag and sat down opposite him. She didn't give Zhu Wendong a chance to greet him and went straight to the point.
"Honestly, I don't want to see anyone from your Zhu family. You all with the surname Zhu are rotten, smelly, and disgusting."
Zhu Wendong put down his coffee and said calmly, "Sang Cheng, I know you hate him. Don't you want him to receive the punishment he deserves?"
She met Sang Cheng at Zhuyuan Hospital five years ago. At that time, Sang Cheng was a nurse at Zhuyuan Hospital. She accidentally communicated with Zhu Wendong and learned that Sang Cheng had been harassed by Zhu Linbin for a long time, but she did not dare to speak out due to pressure from the hospital.
Sang Cheng also called the police, but she had little power and was suppressed by the Zhu family. Later, she had no choice but to resign and leave, and gradually forgot about the incident.
"If I tell you, what will you let me do? I have a husband and children, and I have to continue living."
As Sang Cheng spoke, tears rolled down her eyes. She covered her face with her hands, lowered her head, and tried her best to suppress her tears.
Zhu Wendong handed over a piece of paper and said, "I won't force you. If you don't want to, it's okay. You can still move on with your life."
Zhu Wendong guessed that Sang Cheng probably didn't want to see her now, so she stood up and was about to walk out.
"I promise you." Sang Cheng stopped crying and raised her tear-stained face, "I can testify in court."
Zhu Wendong was a little surprised. He sat down again and asked in a gentle voice, "Do you need any conditions?"
Sang Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "I want you to promise me that this time Zhu Linbin must receive the punishment he deserves."
Zhu Wendong nodded and promised solemnly: "I promise you."
Sang Cheng pursed her lips: "Do you have a suitable lawyer? Do you need me to recommend one?"
Zhu Wendong thought for half a second, and a name came to his mind. "No, I have someone more suitable."
After talking with Sang Cheng, Zhu Wendong sat in the Phantom that Qi Yanxue gave her.
The reason why she didn't drive the Cullinan was because Qi Yanxue sent the Cullinan to the scrapyard and forced her to drive his Phantom.
Zhu Wendong guessed the specific reason was that he didn't want her to use Zhu family's things anymore.
Zhu Wendong guessed that it should be early morning in California, so she sent a message.
Dong: [When you return to Jiangbei, can you help me sue someone? ]

That night, Zhu Wendong posted a Weibo using the account "Xue Yanqi".
It was a long string of text that clearly described everything in detail, including how Zhu Linbin used his position as dean to harass the nurse and how he installed cameras and locators in her room, and accused him of everything.
She breathed a sigh of relief, as if the stone that had been buried in her heart for many years had finally been dug out and seen the light of day again.
An hour later, this Weibo post became a hot topic and was forwarded by Qiao Shizhu, a big star with tens of millions of accounts, and it went viral.
Zhu Wendong originally didn't want Qiao Shizhu to be involved. She was too famous and would inevitably suffer some negative impact, but Qiao Shizhu's attitude was really firm.
That night, several hot search terms exploded——
#Writer Xueyanqi has been harassed#
#Wishing the hospital to wish Lin Bin#
#Qiao Shizhu forwarded#
The comments below are piled up thousands of times.
"I absolutely love every book written by Xue Yanqi! The heroines in every book are all grown-up and brave! I didn't expect Xue Yanqi himself to be the same! When women are harassed, they must speak out bravely! They must bravely fight for their rights! I support Xue Yanqi!"
"Support you! It's the best to speak up!"
"The police don't care about such a serious matter? Does the director of this hospital have so much power?"
"Go back upstairs. You might not know this, but the dean's surname is Zhu. He's one of the top four wealthy families in Jiangbei!"

After posting this Weibo, Zhu Wendong’s phone was taken away by Qi Yanxue.
He didn't let her see any comments on the Internet and blocked her from the Internet.
She had said she would figure it out on her own, so he respected that.
But he really couldn't not interfere at all.
So when some people were frantically suppressing trending searches and buying black fans, Qi Yanxue pushed the popularity to a new height, covering up the bad remarks with more intense comments.
At night, in the bedroom, Zhu Wendong was hugged tightly by Qi Yanxue, leaving no gap, as if he would slip away from her fingers if she let go.
Zhu Wendong tried to break free, but found it was futile. She said helplessly, "Qi Yanxue, I'm almost suffocating from being hugged by you!"
Hearing this, Qi Yanxue loosened his grip a little, but his hands remained on her waist.
"It hurts so much, Chuchu." He said in a hoarse voice with a hint of bitterness.
Zhu Wendong frowned, raised his head from his arms, and asked worriedly, "Where does it hurt?"
Qi Yanxue held her hand and placed it on his chest, and Zhu Wendong felt her heart beating violently.
The corners of his eyes were tinged with red, his voice was hoarse, and he whispered softly, "Here, my heart aches."
He was heartbroken.
