365: Where is the best place to bleed?
Taking advantage of the fact that all three of them were present, Lin Meixian decided to help her daughter talk it out.
"mom--"
How could Xu Yao be in the mood to think about love right now?
Lin Meixian was very stubborn, "Calm down first, think carefully, and then answer your mother's questions."
Xu Yao's heart was in turmoil.
Sometimes she thought about how hateful Wen Zhicheng was, sometimes she thought about the grievances that Lin Meixian suffered in her silent revenge, and sometimes she thought about how Gu Jun took action against Wen Zhicheng and Shen Shuping after knowing the truth before her... She had to suppress these complicated and messy thoughts before she could think about her relationship with Gu Jun.
Do you still mind that Gu Jun lied?
Mind.
But now when I think about it, I no longer feel the initial anger.
Time has eased her emotions, and Xu Yao's career has also been established, allowing her to view her relationship with Gu Jun from a more equal perspective. Gu Jun's guidance has helped her avoid some detours, but she doesn't rely entirely on Gu Jun. Isn't she still a smart student?
Everyone makes mistakes.
It was wrong for Gu Jun to lie.
But if someone makes a mistake, they should be punished without any chance to repent?
Wen Yiyi always causes trouble for Xu Yao, and Wen Zhicheng is the murderer who caused the Xu family to go bankrupt. Xu Yao never thought that Wen Yiyi would be killed by Fang Weihao.
Gu Jun’s mistake…is not so unforgivable.
He did one wrong thing, but he also did a lot of right things.
While Xu Yao was thinking, Gu Jun was so nervous that his breathing slowed down for two beats. He held his breath and waited for Xu Yao's decision.
"I forgive him."
Gu Jun heard Xu Yao's answer.
"But I'm not sure whether I feel gratitude or love for him right now. I need some time to think about it."
Xu Yao added.
Lin Meixian patted Xu Yao's hand and said, "It's okay. Mom believes you can think it through."
After saying this, Lin Meixian gave Gu Jun an encouraging look.
Gu Jun was standing there speechless. It turned out that people really could become "stupefied" when they were too happy.
Lin Meixian's phone ringing interrupted the surging tide of emotions. It was Wen Zhicheng.
Xu Yao suddenly became excited:
"He dared to call you!"
The tears on Lin Meixian's face had long since dried, and she looked calm at the moment: "We haven't signed the divorce yet, and he will habitually ask me for help."
Sure enough, Lin Meixian guessed right.
When the call was connected, Lin Meixian turned on the call recording function in front of Xu Yao and Gu Jun.
Gu Jun's eyes moved slightly. Recording phone calls is really a good habit. When necessary, recording phone calls is a powerful weapon to prevent the other party from backstabbing.
Wen Zhicheng was very excited on the phone and said that there was new news about Fang Weihao.
Fang Weihao didn't expect that Xu Yao would mobilize all netizens to provide clues, which was not conducive to Fang Weihao's hiding. He used Wen Yiyi's account to invite Xu Yao to a live broadcast!
"Meixian, please help me, please help me one last time——"
"Please, save Yiyi."
Wen Zhicheng did not mention at all that he had drugged Lin Meixian, but Lin Meixian insisted on telling everything.
There was no choice but for Wen Zhicheng to admit it.
He said he wanted Lin Meixian to have a good sleep: "It's just some sleeping pills..."
Lin Meixian sneered, "Are you afraid that I will stop you from looking for Yaoyao? Between us two, aren't you the one who needs a good night's sleep?"
Xu Yao was not kidnapped, so why did Lin Meixian take sleeping pills?
Wen Zhicheng is the one who needs sleeping pills the most. He has been very anxious recently.
Lin Meixian wanted to mock Wen Zhicheng, but Gu Jun handed her a cell phone with the words "take the opportunity to file for divorce" written on the screen. Lin Meixian hesitated.
Xu Yao gently shook Lin Meixian's arm with a pleading look on her face.
Gu Jun continued typing: Believe me, now is the last chance to transfer the business to Wen Zhicheng.
Xu Yao was so anxious that tears came out.
Revenge is indeed important.
The most important thing is the living people.
Xu Yao already has no father, she doesn't want to be without a mother anymore, she doesn't want Lin Meixian and Wen Zhicheng to be in a desperate situation -
After a fierce psychological struggle, Lin Meixian finally succumbed to Xu Yao's tears and replied to Wen Zhicheng: "If you want Yaoyao's help, you should sign the divorce agreement first. I don't want to see you use your identity as a 'stepfather' to morally blackmail Yaoyao anymore!"
"What time is it now!"
Wen Zhicheng was anxious, but Lin Meixian was very persistent: "If you don't agree to divorce, I won't agree to Yaoyao helping you. The divorce agreement can clearly state that I don't want anything. Your property is still yours, and your business is still yours."
Wen Zhicheng finally said "OK" with gritted teeth.
After Lin Meixian hung up the phone, she was completely exhausted. Xu Yao hugged her tightly and said, "It's okay. We'll slowly settle the score with him later!"
Gu Jun felt that there was no need to wait until later.
"I'll have my lawyer draft a divorce agreement as soon as possible. The formalities can be done tomorrow, but the agreement must be finalized and signed today."
Fang Weihao requested a live broadcast with Xu Yao, and Wen Zhicheng was so happy to do so now that he needed help.
After Wen Yiyi's kidnapping case is resolved, Wen Zhicheng will drag his feet and weigh the pros and cons of divorce. At that time, if Lin Meixian proposes to transfer the business to Wen Zhicheng again, Wen Zhicheng will become suspicious.
While the situation is chaotic now and Wen Zhicheng doesn't have much ability to think, it would be best to get this matter done as soon as possible!
Gu Jun was efficient and effective. The entire Huahu legal department was helping Lin Meixian deal with the divorce agreement, making sure that Lin Meixian could withdraw from this marriage cleanly.
Only after the agreement was reached did Lin Meixian notify Wen Zhicheng to come over.
Wen Zhicheng was sweating profusely, and he tried to make a final attempt to persuade her: "Meixian, we really don't have to make such a fuss. Once this is over, we can start over."
Lin Meixian signed the agreement herself and handed the pen to Wen Zhicheng: "The premise of starting over is to end it now in a decent manner. Sign it."
Wen Zhicheng held the pen for a long time before signing, and then pressed his fingerprints where they should be as instructed by the lawyer.
A divorce agreement is not the same as a divorce certificate.
When the Civil Affairs Bureau opens tomorrow, the two of them will have to go get their divorce certificate.
"Now, can you agree to connect with Fang Weihao?"
Wen Zhicheng anxiously confirmed with Xu Yao.
Xu Yao nodded, "I never said I would refuse."
If Xu Yao refused to connect with Fang Weihao, netizens would react strongly. Furthermore, the police also hoped that she would cooperate, asking her to delay the connection as much as possible to facilitate the police's technical positioning.
Xu Yao looked at Wen Zhicheng seriously and said, "I want to set the call time after you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get your divorce certificate tomorrow. What do you think?"
What could Wen Zhicheng say? He could only agree with Xu Yao's tone.
With the police watching, Xu Yao used her own account to reply to Fang Weihao: "I will be waiting for you to connect in the live broadcast room at 12 noon tomorrow. If I don't see that Wen Yiyi is safe, I will hang up immediately."
…
No live broadcast has ever received as much attention as this.
Before the live broadcast began, Xu Yao had cooperated with the police to complete the preparations.
Wen Zhicheng was anxious to rescue his daughter and completed the divorce procedures with Lin Meixian at 10 a.m.
Lin Meixian looked at the divorce certificate in her hand with mixed emotions. Gu Jun accompanied her throughout the entire process. In the distance, a car with Xu Qinghua parked inside it was parked. Gu Jun looked in the direction of Xu Qinghua's car, a warning in his eyes.
Xu Qinghua was as stiff as a sculpture, only his eyes were moving, looking at Lin Meixian again and again almost greedily.
For a moment, Xu Qinghua wanted to step on the accelerator and rush forward to hit Wen Zhicheng to death.
It was Wen Zhicheng who caused the Xu family to be destroyed, so killing him could be considered revenge... However, deep down in his heart, Xu Qinghua knew better than anyone that the person who really harmed him was actually himself.
From the moment he violated his marital fidelity, his family could never return to the way it had been. For so many years, he had been trembling with fear, concealing and disguising himself, telling countless lies to his wife, Lin Meixian, and his daughter, Xu Yao. What right did he have to "come back from the dead"?!
Xu Qinghua watched Gu Jun accompany Lin Meixian into the car.
After a while, Xu Qinghua started the car and drove towards the orphanage.
Fu Hong has been staying in the orphanage these days.
Seeing Xu Qinghua, Fu Hong's face lit up with smiles. She happily shared with Xu Qinghua: "The director's mother said that I will have new parents!"
Xu Qinghua nodded perfunctorily: "Really? That's great."
Fu Hong had long since severed ties with her adoptive parents.
The couple adopted Fu Hong and invested a lot of effort in her. However, Fu Hong insisted on looking for her biological father. Her adoptive parents thought she was an ungrateful person and in the end, they took Fu Hong to terminate the adoption relationship.
Xu Qinghua didn't know whether Fu Hong regretted it or not.
But what’s the use of regretting it?
When Jason was a teenager, the couple died of illness one after another.
Now think carefully about Fu Hong's life. Her biological mother died early due to illness, her ex-husband committed suicide when he was young, her eldest son hated her to the core, her youngest son was not close to her, and her biological father did not truly acknowledge her on his deathbed... This failed life was partly due to God's injustice, but most of it was caused by Fu Hong herself.
Her adoptive parents, Gu Wenting, Gu Jun and Jason, all of them originally loved Fu Hong. She was not satisfied with the true love she already had, and insisted on asking for hypocritical fatherly love that did not exist. In the end, she got nothing.
Perhaps, long ago, Fu Hong had foreseen her own end. She tightly wrapped around Xu Qinghua, the last person she could hold on to, like a vine, dragging him down with her.
Xu Qinghua didn't think this way to shirk responsibility. It takes two to tango. The reason he was seduced by Fu Hong was because he lacked self-control and his own desires were not fully satisfied!
Fu Hong was originally very enthusiastic about sharing with Xu Qinghua, but Xu Qinghua was always perfunctory in his attitude, and the smile on Fu Hong's face gradually disappeared.
"Are you jealous of me?"
"I'm going to have new mom and dad, and you don't!"
Xu Qinghua looked at her quietly, and Fu Hong suddenly burst into tears: "My parents don't want me anymore. I made them angry and disappointed them!"
She grabbed Xu Qinghua's sleeve and asked, "Can you take me to find them?"
Xu Qinghua was embarrassed: "I don't know where they are."
The couple terminated their adoption relationship with Fu Hong and did not even let Fu Hong handle their funeral affairs. Xu Qinghua really did not know where they were buried.
Fu Hong covered her face and cried bitterly.
Xu Qinghua thought for a moment and asked Fu Hong: "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Fu Hong was upset after visiting the old painter in the hospital that day. According to the news feed, the old painter's health had deteriorated in the past few days and he might die at any time. Given Fu Hong's temper, it was impossible for her to mourn the old painter. Instead, she would probably scold him before he died.
Fu Hong nodded confusedly, and Xu Qinghua took her to the hospital.
Xu Qinghua didn't want to go look for Fu Hong, but Xu Yao was about to connect with the kidnapper, Fang Weihao, and Lin Meixian had just finished the paperwork with Wen Zhicheng, so he couldn't help at all. Because of the kidnapping case, the police were still setting up surveillance around Xu Yao, and if Xu Qinghua went around Xu Yao, he would easily be targeted by the police.
He can't do anything.
Only the crazy Fu Hong still needs his help.
Xu Qinghua walked out with Fu Hong with a numb expression.
…
"Mr. Gu, Ms. Fu has left the orphanage."
Gu Jun received a report from his bodyguard.
Hearing that Xu Qinghua had taken Fu Hong away from the orphanage, Gu Jun told his bodyguards to follow at a distance and not to interfere. As long as Xu Qinghua didn't come looking for Xu Yao and Lin Meixian, Gu Jun didn't care what this man did.
Gu Jun and Lin Meixian have arrived at Xu Yao's studio.
There were several police cars parked downstairs of the office building, and Gu Jun also saw Chen Yan. Chen Yan seemed to want to go to Xu Yao's studio, but the police did not agree.
Shen Yan has no right to participate in this case.
Whether it was Xu Yao or Wen Yiyi, Chen Yan was just an "ex-fiancé" - seeing that Gu Jun was able to enter, Chen Yan became even more dissatisfied, because Gu Jun was just Xu Yao's ex-husband!
"Why can he get in?"
Shen Yan pointed at Gu Jun.
Lin Meixian placed a hand on Gu Jun's arm: "Because he is a family member."
Chen Yan was very hurt.
Obviously, Lin Meixian was very nice to him before, but now she has turned to Gu Jun?
Gu Jun knew why Lin Meixian disliked Chen Yan. Chen Yan was simply being taken out on. Lin Meixian was actually not sure whether Chen Yan knew about Shen Shuping's plan for the Xu family, but this did not prevent Lin Meixian from sentencing Chen Yan to death in her heart.
"Let's go up."
Gu Jun was too lazy to waste time on Shen Yan.
The "prosperous era" is no longer viable, and the next step is Shen Shuping's business.
Looking at Gu Jun's back, Shen Yan felt very unwilling.
He remembered the medical records that his assistant Li Kai had found.
Medical records of Gu Jun's biological father, Gu Wenting.
What is there for Gu Jun to be proud of?
Chen Yan turned and returned to the office building where Shengshi was located. The once bustling MCN company was now only occupied by a few scattered employees. These people weren't there to stay, but because compensation hadn't been negotiated. Seeing Chen Yan, they greeted him awkwardly, but he ignored them and went straight into his office.
A copy of Gu Wenting's medical record is still in the desk drawer.
Chen Yan took out his phone and started contacting the water army.
…
At 12 noon sharp, Xu Yao started broadcasting on time.
Xu Yao directly banned the comments section, but the private messages in the background have been open. She did receive a lot of "clues" in the past two days, which were basically useless. Xu Yao paid some clues more or less as promised.
The police still haven't found Fang Weihao.
The police attach great importance to today's live broadcast.
Xu Yao was waiting for Fang Weihao to come online, and Wen Zhicheng was pacing around the lounge anxiously.
The popularity of the live broadcast room was rising steadily, but Xu Yao didn't say a word.
Finally, Xu Yao received a connection request.
After a few shakes, the camera showed Fang Weihao's face. He was wearing a suit, clean-shaven, and had his hair done. He still looked a bit like the vice president of a clothing brand.
Fang Weihao grinned. "Miss Xu, does this look familiar to you? You've ruined me. I've lost my career, my family, and my social standing. But I don't blame you. I'm just a toad dreaming of swan flesh. I'm madly obsessed with you. During the countless days and nights I've wandered around the country, I've slept with your photo in my arms. I've watched your videos during the day and watched your live streams at night. Even my dreams are filled with you..."
Fang Weihao, who was well-dressed, was talking about erotic things, which made Xu Yao feel sick.
If the comment section of the live broadcast room is open, the screen will definitely be filled with vomiting expressions and curses.
Xu Yao also wanted to curse, but she couldn't because she was afraid that Fang Weihao would hang up the phone.
It's a good thing that Fang Weihao wants to talk. The more he talks, the longer it will take, and the police will be able to locate Fang Weihao.
So Xu Yao and Fang Weihao had a conversation before expressing their desire to see Wen Yiyi.
"Is she with you?"
Xu Yao asked softly, "I said before that the prerequisite for the connection is that I can see Wen Yiyi. If I can't see her——"
Fang Weihao chuckled: "Of course I'll let you see her."
The camera turned and saw that the room Fang Weihao was in was not spacious and looked like a storage room.
Wen Yiyi was tied to a chair by Fang Weihao, with an IV pole next to her. Fang Weihao didn't know what kind of medicine he gave Wen Yiyi, and Wen Yiyi looked drowsy.
Fang Weihao shook Wen Yiyi's shoulders. Wen Yiyi wanted to look up but didn't have the strength.
Xu Yao and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, and Wen Zhicheng even cried with joy.
Wen Yiyi is still alive!
But as Fang Weihao's camera turned, Xu Yao took another breath and Wen Zhicheng was so scared that he lost his voice.
Fang Weihao placed a small cart next to the chair. On the cart was a tray with a scalpel inside, and underneath was a bucket. Just looking at this scene was enough to make one's scalp tingle. Fearing that this wouldn't be enough to stimulate Xu Yao, Fang Weihao picked up the sharp scalpel and gestured at Wen Yiyi's wrist:
"Do you see clearly? I'll cut from here later, okay?"
Xu Yao's teeth were chattering.
This madman, does he want to broadcast live how he bleeds Wen Yiyi?
Wen Zhicheng was on the verge of collapse.
Even Lin Meixian felt unsteady.
This is a human life!
If Fang Weihao really killed Wen Yiyi during the live broadcast, not to mention how crazy Wen Zhicheng would be, Xu Yao would never be able to continue her career of live streaming and selling goods.
When netizens see Xu Yao’s live broadcast, or even her videos, photos, and her name, they will think of the deceased Wen Yiyi.
This life will always be borne by Xu Yao... This is the viciousness of Fang Weihao!
Gu Jun held Lin Meixian tightly, but his mind was racing.
Where did Fang Weihao get the medicines and tools?
The citizens of Nancheng were all looking for Fang Weihao. Driven by the million-dollar reward for any clue, they searched all the rental houses, small hotels, and abandoned buildings in the urban villages of Nancheng. Even with the police's investigation, they still couldn't find Fang Weihao.
Where would this person hide?
The small utility room didn't look like a private residence, but rather like—
The three words "darkness under the lamp" flashed in Gu Jun's mind. Fang Weihao disguised himself as a nurse and kidnapped Wen Yiyi from the hospital. Could he have been hiding in the hospital all this time?
