Zhou Ling, along with Zhou Lao Er and others, were taken away for questioning not long after...
Zhou Chen received this news from Su Jiajia. He heard that the newspaper's editor-in-chief went to a restaurant, happened to bump into the group, and then secretly contacted the relevant departments.
It has to be said, it's quite a coincidence.
You could say he deserved it.
Zhou Ling was taken away along with them because she was at the scene, which was a pleasant surprise.
He had suspected before that Zhou Ling was involved, and the fact that she was mixed up with those money-grubbing uncles and aunts undoubtedly confirmed this.
"Boss, how far do you plan to pursue this matter?"
Su Jiajia asked Zhou Chen for his opinion.
With the newspaper's editor-in-chief as a witness, Zhou Lao Er and his associates cannot escape punishment and must pay the price for their actions in smearing Zhou Chen.
But Su Jiajia needs to know Zhou Chen's opinion on how to deal with these relatives.
After all, it falls under Zhou Chen's family affairs.
"Of course, we will act in accordance with the law and follow the regulations."
Zhou Chen said in a deep voice, "Since they ignored my warnings, don't blame me for being heartless. I gave these people a chance, but they didn't know how to cherish it."
Upon hearing this, Su Jiajia immediately understood.
the next day,
The newspaper published an apology statement in the most prominent position, apologizing to Zhou Chen.
This news came as a huge surprise to everyone who was following the story. They were all astonished that the newspaper would take such a turn, actually bowing its head and apologizing to the person involved.
This was something many people had never seen before, something they had never witnessed in their lives.
Following the apology statement, the purpose of Zhou Lao Er and others in smearing Zhou Chen was explained. After reading this detailed description, many people immediately changed their focus from Zhou Chen to Zhou Lao Er and his group.
"This is a distortion of human nature and a moral decay. As elders, uncles and aunts, they would do such a despicable thing for money. Shameless!"
"It's not just shameless, it's utterly shameless. They used to ignore people, but now that they've become successful, they come running to curry favor with them. If they don't get anything in return, they resort to smearing and attacking them. They're utterly wicked."
"If you ask me, this is because they are taking advantage of Zhou Chen's parents not being here, which is why they are so unscrupulous. But Zhou Chen doesn't owe them anything. They are asking for favors out of their own accord. They are really disrespectful to their elders."
Anyone who sees this newspaper and pays attention to this matter will discuss it with family and friends, expressing various feelings.
The initial focus was on Zhou Chen, with many criticizing and condemning him.
However, just a day or two later, the situation reversed dramatically. The people who said Zhou Chen was cold-blooded and ruthless disappeared, and instead, a group of people emerged who supported Zhou Chen.
Almost everyone in Fanjia County knew about this.
The students at the school also saw the newspaper, and it immediately spread throughout the campus.
Those who previously firmly believed that Zhou Chen was a good person are the happiest, because now is their time to stand up for themselves. Before, they couldn't win any arguments with others, but now, the newspaper has issued a public apology, and the people who spread rumors have been taken away for questioning. Everything shows that Zhou Chen was wronged.
"Who was it that was so certain that the reports and interviews were true? Keep talking, why are you mute now?"
"Those classmates who followed suit, I hope you will apologize to Zhou Chen as soon as possible, otherwise Zhou Chen will hold you accountable, and some of you will end up with the same fate as the shameless guy."
Zhou Chen's classmates, who had always supported him, issued a warning.
As Zhou Chen's right-hand man, Li Kaile was overjoyed to see Zhou Chen's reputation restored. Upon hearing the words of someone who spoke up for Zhou Chen, he immediately added fuel to the fire, saying that he knew who had been stirring up trouble before, and if these people did not apologize within a day, they would receive a lawyer's letter the next day, which would be delivered to the parents.
Li Kaile had these words spread, and for a time, some people were so frightened that they trembled with fear, regretting their loose tongues and wondering whether they should take the initiative to apologize.
Some people may not want to, but Li Kaile's words inevitably represent Zhou Chen's intentions. Zhou Chen pursued even those relatives to the end, let alone these people.
Once they understood this, these students who had been following rumors blindly came to Zhou Chen's class one after another and took the initiative to apologize.
A large crowd suddenly gathered outside Zhou Chen's classroom, crowding around him, all wanting to beg for his forgiveness.
Zhou Chen didn't say he would pursue those who had previously joined in the mockery against him, but he did approve of Li Kaile's actions; some people needed to be taught a lesson.
Therefore, when faced with people who come to apologize, he expressed his attitude: if they sincerely apologize, he can give them a chance and not hold it against them. As for those who insist on not apologizing, he will take legal action to make them remember it for the rest of their lives.
As the person involved, Zhou Chen personally spoke out, and the classmates who took the initiative to apologize were secretly relieved, while those classmates who did not want to lose face panicked immediately upon hearing the news and could no longer keep up their stubbornness.
A large number of students rushed over to apologize to Zhou Chen, and the incident immediately became the news throughout the school.
In fact, the students who followed suit were all jealous of Zhou Chen and regarded her as a rival in love. After all, the news of Zhou Chen rejecting Xu Mengya had spread throughout the entire school, and everyone knew about it.
That's when they took the opportunity to retaliate.
But unexpectedly, in the end, it made him look incredibly shameful.
As Zhou Chen's classmate, her non-blood-related younger sister, and the older sister of Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, Zhou Na naturally couldn't escape being discussed again after this incident.
Previously, her reputation had just begun to improve, and she was feeling somewhat pleased.
Unexpectedly, after the two-stage reversal, she was attacked even more harshly. Many classmates believed that she was also involved and should be taken away for questioning.
Zhou Na has once again suffered from school bullying.
Zhou Na herself couldn't remember how many times this had happened. In short, whenever Zhou Ling or Zhou Chen caused trouble, she would suffer an undeserved disaster and become the target of public opinion.
She felt extremely wronged; she hadn't done anything wrong, yet she had to endure all of this.
After silently shedding tears, Zhou Na could only pray that the college entrance examination would arrive soon.
That way, she could completely escape her misery, stay away from Zhou Chen, Zhou Ling, and Zhou Chuan, and live her own life without being influenced by anyone.
And this is her greatest motivation and support now.
Zhou Chen was unaware of Zhou Na's feelings. At that moment, he was having a heated argument with the gatekeeper, Uncle Liang, during the break between classes.
On the chessboard, Grandpa Liang's few remaining pawns refused to admit defeat and fought to the very end.
pity,
Still, it couldn't escape being mercilessly harvested by Zhou Chen, until only a lone 'general' remained, a complete dead end.
Grandpa Liang was once again utterly annihilated by Zhou Chen.
"You have no respect for elders or children! I'm not playing anymore, I lose every time!"
Grandpa Liang suffered repeated defeats and began to break down his defenses.
Every day, the tactics he studied were thwarted one by one by Zhou Chen. It was so discouraging that Grandpa Liang now felt a bit disgusted by chess.
