Chapter 24

Not only was Su Zhiyou unable to move, but Liu Weihan also passed out from the blow to the back of his head.

Tang Duoduo looked at the mess and tragedy in front of her and screamed in fear.

But I didn’t dare to really touch it.

"Jiyou, Zhiyou?!" "Xin Ge, Xin Ge?!"

Liu Cheng felt something was wrong and tried to run, but was stopped in time by the boss and his helper who came over from the kitchen, and was angrily locked up in a private room.

......

Ten minutes later, Xiao Yue Home Cooking was surrounded by ambulances, police cars and TV reporters.

Su Ji-woo was taken to the ambulance.

When Yue Jie heard from the doctor that Su Zhiyou had serious burns on his back but there was hope of recovery, she trembled uncontrollably and shed tears.

“That’s great, that’s great…”

Yuejie's husband Zhong Zhen hugged her tightly in fear and did not dare to leave for a moment.

"Ah Yue, next time you encounter something like this you should run away quickly! Or you should call me over first. How can a woman like you beat a mad man? What should I do if something really happens to you?!"

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just saw him beating up that girl and couldn't help but try to stop them. I didn't expect that he would actually kill someone."

Sister Yue's teeth were chattering, her face was dazed, and she was also a little scared.

She covered her chest and gasped, her fingers suddenly touched a piece of plastic, she pulled it out subconsciously, and found that the plastic paper that originally contained the amulet had changed its appearance!

There was no yellow talisman paper left, only a pile of burnt ashes.

Sister Yue's pupils shrank. Thinking of the moment when the man grabbed her hair and pressed her into the hot pot, she felt as if she was bounced away by something and hit the wall backwards.

Then she escaped death, and at that time she felt a burning sensation in the front of her chest...

"Ah Zhen, he he he...he is real! Bai Siyu is the real immortal master, he is real!"

Sister Yue suddenly grabbed her husband's hand tightly, her heart was beating wildly, and her speech was incoherent.

Zhong Zhen also saw the small bag full of ashes on Sister Yue's chest and was immediately shocked: "!"

"If it weren't for this talisman, I would have been pressed into the hot pot and would have died... died."

"Don't talk nonsense, it won't happen." Zhong Zhen's eyes were slightly red.

"Bai Siyu saved my life, A Zhen, he saved me, my life..."

Sister Yue couldn't control her tears and fell again.

The scene where Sister Yue was speaking incoherently and was so excited that she burst into tears was discovered by Gu Han who was among the reporters.

He couldn't help but move forward cautiously.

"Boss lady."

Sister Yue was crying with excitement and didn't look at him.

Gu Han spoke again: "Boss lady, I want to talk to you about Bai Siyu."

When Sister Yue heard the three words "Bai Siyu", she immediately raised her head, her eyes full of vigilance.

Gu Han quickly made friendly gestures: "Boss lady, don't get excited. I have absolutely no ill intentions towards Bai Siyu or you. I came here to have dinner with Sister Su this afternoon. Did you forget?"

Sister Yue didn't say anything, just looked at him.

Gu Han was not angry either. He said in a calm voice: "I don't mean anything else. I just want to say... Bai Siyu may not only have saved your life, he also saved Sister Su's life."

Sister Yue: “What?!”

"Yes, maybe you don't know, Bai Siyu and Sister Su met at the door of the private room. Sister Su wanted to interview him at that time, but he refused. However, he gave Sister Su a fortune-teller. He said that Sister Su's life was in danger, and the danger was brought by her good friend whom she had known for twenty years. He told her to be careful, and if her good friend came to see her today, she should not agree."

Gu Han's Adam's apple rolled and his scalp felt cold.

"But Sister Su didn't believe it and was very angry. Then... the result was really..."

It really happened.

He didn't even dare to think about whether everything here would be different without this so-called amulet.

Without the amulet, the boss lady Yue would have died. Without Yue, the alcohol splashed on Su might not only be on her back, but also on her face and head. If she was set on fire, she might not be carried to an ambulance but to...

Gu Han couldn't help but shudder.

The fear of the unknown and the excitement of keenly sensing that this was a big news bomb made Gu Han's throat dry and his blood boil.

"Why did you arrest me? Let me go, let me go!!!"

A sharp sound suddenly came and pierced into Gu Han's brain.

He turned his head subconsciously and saw Tang Duoduo, who was struggling desperately, being handcuffed by the police.

The man next to her, Liu Cheng, kept yelling: "We haven't committed any crime, why are you torturing us? This is just an emotional dispute. That woman hurt my cousin and caused him to go crazy. Everything is excusable——"

But no matter how the two men shouted, they were stuffed into the police car.

A group of reporters followed closely.

Gu Han hesitated for two seconds and followed. After all, the information that could be dug out from the hospital would not be more than what he knew.

When Tang Duoduo and other two were escorted to the police station, reports of the incident soon appeared on the Internet.

[Old woman set on fire after rejecting man's advances]

Soon, a group of various opinions gathered below.

"Another emotional dispute? Young people nowadays are so impulsive. Why can't they just talk it out calmly? Why do they have to resort to violence?"

"Pray for her and light the candles."

"Is this woman stupid? She is clearly not as strong as him but she still refuses to provoke him. She should comfort the man first! She deserves to be beaten. She is so stupid."

"Fuck, the above is really disgusting. The girl in the news last month was very nice, but didn't you say she was playing hard to get? She was victimized and you said she deserved it because of her permissive attitude. Now you say this girl is stupid for not comforting her first and she deserves it?! Who can be more despicable than you? The victim is always wrong?!"

"You didn't even discuss the betrothal gift. You want to sell it at such a high price even though you're so old. I'm an honest man, but I'm really pushed into a corner."

"Don't open your mouth, you stinky boy."

"I am a woman, and I also think that some older women are really excessive and outrageous."

"You shut up too, you stink."

"......"

In a blink of an eye, the comment section was filled with chaos and smoke.

Ji Fangfang, an intern reporter who came with Gu Han but acted separately, was standing in front of the hospital's operating room door with red eyes. Just reading the comments online made her so angry that she could not breathe.

She clenched her hands tightly, praying with all her heart that Su Ji-woo was okay. During the few months she interned here, Su Ji-woo, as a senior, not only did not bully her, but also helped her a lot.

She really didn't want anything to happen to Su Zhiyou.

And her prayers actually worked. Three hours later, the lights in the operating room that had been on finally dimmed, and a male doctor wearing glasses and a mask came out.

A group of reporters rushed forward but were stopped by security guards.

The doctor in glasses frowned immediately and looked around fiercely: "Where are the patient's family members? Are the patient's family members here?"

"Doctor, I...I! I'm her colleague and her friend!" Ji Fangfang was short and was squeezed to the outside. She finally managed to squeeze in from the crowd.

She cried, "Her family is not in the capital, they are rushing here, doctor, how is the patient now?!"

"The patient is no longer in danger of death, but some of his skin has been severely burned and he needs to be observed in the intensive care unit."

Hearing the male doctor's words, Ji Fangfang burst into tears.

She stammered, "Thank you, thank you, doctor, thank you!"

"You're welcome. This is what we should do." As soon as the male doctor finished speaking, other reporters immediately crowded over.

"Doctor, doctor, is the patient seriously burned? Will he be disfigured?!"

"Doctor, how big is her burn area? Is it severe or very severe?!"

Ji Fangfang wiped her tears. Although she was disgusted with the reporters who only paid attention to the news and not to Sister Su, she couldn't help but ask: "Doctor, Sister Su...that patient...did she have a lot of burns?"

"This patient suffered severe burns, but the burn area was not particularly large. This patient... was very lucky. The burns were mainly on the back and buttocks, avoiding most organs. The third-degree burns accounted for about 15% of the body, and the second-degree burns accounted for about 8% of the body."

If the burns reach the head, neck, chest or abdomen, it will not be so easy to escape from life-threatening danger.

Moreover, future skin grafting operations in these areas will be more painful and will greatly affect the patient's will to survive.

After all, she is a young girl and she will care about her appearance to some extent.

"Please make way and don't block the road!" The operating room door behind the doctor suddenly opened, and a bed was pushed out by several doctors and nurses.

Su Zhiyou was lying on the hospital bed, wearing a respirator and looking pale.

......

Su Zhiyou had a horrible nightmare.

There was no Bai Siyu in the dream, only her good friend Tang Duoduo and the gloomy and ugly Liu Cheng and Liu Weixin. Because there was no Bai Siyu to remind her, she realized that something was wrong with the other party much later, and when she wanted to leave, it was already too late.

Liu Weixin slapped her in the face and she fell to the back of the private room, far from the door. His fist as big as a sandbag hit her in the face. The proprietress Yue Jie came to help her but was pushed into the hot pot by Liu Weixin. She let out a heart-wrenching scream of terror. She wanted to struggle but couldn't even crawl to the door. In the end, Liu Weixin grabbed her hair, poured alcohol all over her face and body, and then set her on fire...

She died in pain, very painfully!

In the end, his face was completely unrecognizable, even his facial skin turned into pieces of bloody charcoal.

"ah......"

Su Zhiyou woke up suddenly, but because she was extremely weak, she could only make a faint scream. The nurse at the door saw that she woke up and hurried to call the doctor in surprise.

"Doctor Zhang, the patient in bed 7 is awake! The patient in bed 7 is awake!"

A group of footsteps approached, and the male doctor wearing glasses quickly came over with a gentle and serious voice.

"How do you feel now?"

"thirsty......"

"You just had surgery, so you can't drink water now. But you can ask the nurse to wipe your lips with a cotton ball dipped in water later."

The male doctor checked Su Zhiyou's condition in all aspects.

"Your surgery was successful and you are doing very well now. Don't worry, relax and take good care of yourself."

"Doctor..." Su Zhiyou's throat felt like sandpaper, "Can you please call my colleagues here for me? I have something urgent to tell them."

"Not now, at least tomorrow, and only one person can come in to see you. Have you decided who to let in?" The male doctor paused, then said, "And your parents should be here soon."

"I want...I want my colleague to come in. Her...ahem, her name is Ji Fangfang."

Su Zhiyou did not call Gu Han because although Gu Han got along well with her when working together, to be honest, he was not as considerate as Fang Fang. Also, although it cannot be said that Gu Han would do anything to gain popularity and traffic, he did put these first.

Ji Fangfang is more in line with her concepts and standards.

The first must be the truth, always the truth.

She has always had the habit of carrying a recorder with her. From the moment Liu Weixin suddenly grabbed her and threw her to the ground, she opened the recorder in her pocket. The pen was in her shirt pocket. I don't know whether it is now in the hands of the police or in the hospital.

When he thought of this...an unprecedented overwhelming regret came over him and almost engulfed Su Ji-woo.

She had never regretted it so much.

The intense regret even surpassed the anger and pain she felt towards Tang Duoduo for betraying and hurting her.

Why, why, why didn't she listen to Bai Siyu's advice at the beginning!!!

Regret and anger towards those scumbags all swept over Su Zhiyou, crushing her heart into a ball. Two lines of tears slid down her eyes unknowingly. The nurse next to her quickly reached out and gently wiped her tears away, feeling very distressed.

"Don't be sad, you will recover soon. As long as you listen to the doctor's advice, eat well, and exercise well, I believe you will be healthy soon. Your burns are all on your back and buttocks, so skin grafting or recovery will be faster in the future. Your face is not injured at all, and you are still as beautiful as before."

After hearing this, Su Zhiyou's tears flowed even harder.

She could have been totally fine.

She was too stubborn to listen. She didn't listen!

Su Ji-woo's fingers kept shaking, and his anger, regret, and pain for not listening to advice kept rising wildly, almost reaching a peak.

But afterwards, the cowardice deep in human nature made Su Zhiyou feel some hidden resentment.

Why didn't Bai Siyu insist at first...

If Bai Siyu insisted a little longer, maybe she would listen to him. She did listen!

But when he met Ji Fangfang the next day, Su Zhiyou realized how vicious and outrageous her complaints about Bai Siyu were.

Ji Fangfang, fully armed and wearing antibacterial clothing, brought news that Su Zhiyou had never expected.

"Sister Su, your recorder was confiscated by the police yesterday. I think the suspect will be brought to justice soon. Everyone is concerned about you. You must get better soon." Her eyes were red. "The boss lady Yue also asked me to tell you after seeing you that she is fine thanks to Bai Siyu's help. Everyone is fine and is waiting for you to return in good health."

"Bai, Bai Siyu?" Su Zhiyou's voice was hoarse.

How is he related to the boss lady Yue Jie?

"It's Bai Siyu. Sister Su, you probably don't know, but the news has been reported. It was written by Gu Han." Even though she had read it several times, Ji Fangfang couldn't help but shudder when she mentioned it now, and felt very fortunate.

"It turned out that Bai Siyu gave the lady boss a peace charm before leaving after dinner that day. The peace charm helped Sister Yue break free from the grip of the criminal suspect Liu Weixin and bounced him against the wall, so Sister Yue was saved."

Although many people did not believe this report and thought it was too fantastic, they believed that Sister Yue's desire to survive caused a surge in adrenaline, which enabled her to break free from the man and push him up the wall due to her sudden surge in strength.

But Ji Fangfang knew that this report must be true.

Su Zhiyou was stunned.

Her eyes suddenly turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

She regretted it so much...

I regret it so much!

She regretted why she didn't listen to Bai Siyu's advice, and she also regretted that she actually complained to Bai Siyu yesterday. Why did she complain to Bai Siyu? Why? !

Knowing clearly that Siyu was such a good person and was even just a minor, he still risked being disliked and opposed by her and reminded her without asking for any benefit, and even helped her after she refused to listen.

Although she was helped indirectly by Sister Yue, the help was real. She now knows everything in her mind. If it weren't for Bai Siyu, her nightmare would probably come true!

Su Zhiyou's tears welled up and he could no longer control himself.

Bai Siyu was her benefactor, a benefactor to whom she felt so sorry...

"Sister Su, don't cry, don't cry." Ji Fangfang's eyes also turned red, and she was at a loss. She wanted to wipe Su Zhiyou's tears but didn't dare to.

"I'm fine... It's okay, Fangfang. Since the recorder has been collected, I will verbally describe the scene and my request. Just think of it as... we are doing an interview."

Su Zhiyou even had difficulty speaking, but she endured the pain all over her body, suppressed her tears, and tried hard to calm herself down and mobilize her emotions and strength.

There's no point crying at this moment, there are other things she should do.

She will try her best to describe and restore the scene at that time, and dig out the deep relationship between her and these people to Fangfang. She wants Fangfang to write many of the most brilliant press releases based on her scars, which will completely attract everyone's attention!

Not only does she want to restore the truth, but she also wants to completely sever all ties with Tang Duoduo and the others, bringing them to justice, and making them despised by everyone. And most importantly—

Let the fact that Bai Siyu saved her and Sister Yue be praised and spread to the greatest extent.

She wanted to help Bai Siyu clear away the labels and insults that netizens had previously used against him, such as "spreading feudal superstition and making rumors at will."

Of course, she may not be able to achieve her goal in one go.

But it doesn't matter, she will keep trying.

**

Bai Siyu never imagined that he had just helped out casually, but now the entire internet was filled with news releases about him saving the boss's wife.

He was already the center of public opinion during this period, and now he was involved in an attempted murder case, causing the popularity about him to explode.

It seems like the whole internet is talking about him...

Although it has received mixed reviews, and not everyone believes it, it is true—

A little troubled.

He will be discovered whenever he goes out now, so the mask is almost useless.

Mu Changzhu looked at the troubled little boy named Bai who just wanted to stay at home and eat takeout. He couldn't help but smile and said softly, "It would be much better if you put on a hat and sunglasses. They wouldn't recognize you."

"Wouldn't that be even more deceptive?" Bai Siyu thought it was unreliable. "Forget it, just wait until this period is over."

When the next wave of news comes out, no one will be talking about him anymore.

Public opinion comes in waves.

"It's not good to stay bored at home all day," said Shepherd Cang.

Bai Siyu hasn't left the house for three days since those press releases became more and more explosive in the past few days.

Considering that Bai Siyu had suffered severe physical injuries before and had finally recovered, he really needed rest, so he did not urge him these days. He just asked Du Wu to bring delicious and nutritious meals from the Du family every day.

——If Bai Siyu had not disagreed, he would actually have wanted Bai Siyu to live in the Mu family so that he could take care of her more easily.

"Huh?!" Bai Siyu secretly clicked into the social software and suddenly found that the hot search headlines that had always had his name on them had changed to Liu Cheng and Tang Duoduo.

Bai Siyu was surprised: "Long candle, the hot search has finally changed, the hot search has changed!"

【Liu Cheng, cousin of the suspect in the Cantonese restaurant assault case, was detained for assaulting a police officer】

[Tang Duoduo was still expressing her loyalty to her boyfriend when So Ji-woo was burned]

It has to be said that Su Ji-woo knows how to control public opinion.

Even though Gu Han reported her and Tang Duoduo's close friendship at the first time, Su Zhiyou still hid many details of the case and kept it under wraps, only letting Ji Fangfang reveal the most eye-catching part of the case's truth and things related to Bai Siyu.

When these public opinions gradually reached a saturation point, Tang Duoduo also argued on the Internet for two days before she revealed this explosive news.

When Tang Duoduo's sweet and submissive voice became the background sound of Su Zhiyou's heart-wrenching screams, a creepy feeling of disgust suddenly surged in everyone's heart.

"Jiyou doesn't have any bad intentions, just talk to her nicely~"

"Don't learn from her."

"Brother Cheng, of course I won't. What I value most is my family..."

The weak, sweet and gentle ending tone, coupled with the greasy fatherly instruction, accompanied by So Ji-woo's screams and Yue Jie's cries of pain, created an impact that is far beyond the reach of ordinary text descriptions.

In an instant, Tang Duoduo and Liu Cheng's names completely reached the top.

Tang Duoduo, who was originally trying to argue that she just didn't have time to save her best friend and that the situation was too dangerous and she could only protect herself, was instantly scolded and became the number one trending search on various websites.

Liu Cheng followed closely, truly following the example of a wife following her husband's lead.

"Ahhhhh, you two perverts--!!!"

"Help me, I'm so disgusted by Tang Duoduo. What kind of bastard is he? How can you treat your best friend like this? She's almost dead, and you're still showing your loyalty to this scumbag?!"

"Fuck, I'm so sick that I want to throw up. I'm thinking about the pregnant woman who helped her husband to trick a high school student back home and then helped her husband to rape the high school student. I have to say that some of you are really good at backstabbing!"

"I said before that Tang Duoduo did nothing wrong. What if you were a rational person who would choose to protect yourself and not save your friends in that situation? Come out and let everyone see you."

"A jerk like Liu Cheng must have committed a crime before. I suggest the police conduct a thorough investigation. He and his brother Liu Weixin are exactly the same kind of rubbish. They definitely did more than just attack the police! Let him and his brother be reunited in prison!"

"It's true that women want any rubbish man... I don't understand it, I'm shocked."

"Isn't this Tang Duoduo under a spell? After all, she is a beautiful, wealthy girl. She's not very rich, but she's much richer than Liu Cheng. Why would she cling to such a piece of rubbish?"

"I don't understand @Bai Siyu123, Master Bai, can you help me decipher whether Tang Duoduo has been cursed or not?"

"Who is this and why do you call him a great god?"

"Oh, Su Zhiyou is really miserable. It's a pity that she didn't listen to Master Bai."

"Oh my god, the internet is just connected upstairs!!!"

"Is Bai Siyu worthy of being called a great god? It's disgusting that he hypes her up every day. He has been kept by someone for a long time! I saw it with my own eyes. The person who kept him was a bald old man who drove a stretched Lincoln. His belly was as big as if he was ten months pregnant. This old man really went to great lengths to whitewash Bai Siyu. He even paid Su Zhiyou to cooperate with the hype. How shameless."

"Is the person above a fan of Qin Zhi or a die-hard fan of the Qin family? He is still going crazy..."

"Bai Siyu is very pretty, prettier than many celebrities, so it's normal for her to be kept by someone."

"......"

"puff--!"

Bai Siyu was drinking tea when he heard these words, and he spat out a mouthful of hot tea in an instant.

It almost sprayed on Shepherd Candle.

Bai Siyu slammed on the brakes, but was shocked. A drop of water went into his lungs and he started coughing loudly.

“Cough! Cough, cough, cough—!”

Mu Changzhu immediately put down the computer in his hand and took a tissue from the table: "What's wrong? What did you see?"

"I, I, I... No, no, no, I didn't see anything." Bai Siyu shook his head quickly, feeling like his lungs were about to burst.

Not only was he burnt on the outside and tender on the inside by the thunder, he also suffered physical pain.

This group of people is simply too outrageous!

They actually said that he was being kept by an old man whose belly was as big as a 10-month pregnant belly? ! !

Bai Siyu coughed until her eyes were blurred with tears. Everyone looked more "beautiful" in the mist. The handsome and envied Mu Changzhu seemed to look even more handsome...

Such a pastor, Chief Cang, was rumored to be a bald old man with a pregnant belly. For a moment, Bai Si Yujian couldn't figure out who was more miserable, him or Chief Cang.

There was water on the phone, and Bai Siyu coughed and quickly wiped it with paper. Her fair and delicate skin turned red due to the tremor, and a little bit of beautiful color seeped out from her cheeks to her slender neck.

The whole person looks more youthful.

Looking at Bai Siyu who was busy cleaning his phone, a gleam of light flashed in Mu Changzhu's eyes.

He suddenly remembered something.

Shepherd Cang considered again and again before speaking: "Si Yu."

Bai Siyu paused slightly while wiping his phone. Although he had promised Pastor Cang that he could call him Siyu a few days ago, he still felt a little embarrassed when he heard it at first.

He coughed, then raised his head and said, "Huh?"

Mu Changzhu's eyes were unfathomable with a tiny glimmer of light as he looked at Bai Siyu quietly. Bai Siyu also looked at him, and neither of them spoke for a while.

Fine dust particles were flying in the golden sunlight.

For a moment, Bai Siyu's mind was twisted, and he remembered all those messy words on the Internet. He felt that Mu Changzhu's eyes were inexplicably affectionate!

Bai Siyu widened his eyes slightly.

No no no...No way!

Shepherd Candle finally spoke.

"I feel like there's something I need to tell you seriously. I wanted to say it before, but the timing wasn't right."

There was a hint of suspicion in Bai Siyu's eyes.

"......ah?"

"But it's too late now. I think you should try to agree to it."

Bai Siyu's suspicion turned into panic: "Ah?!!!"

"I mentioned this to you before. You should be prepared, right?"

Bai Siyu's panic turned into complete chaos. He stood up with his ears turning red.

"When did you tell me that? I, I, I, I, I'm not prepared!"

Mu Changzhu's slender fingers, which were pinching the emerald green beads, paused, his brows slightly wrinkled.

"I did tell you before, have you forgotten? You should start preparing for the college entrance examination. Didn't you read any of those books I bought for you a few days ago, such as "Five-Three", "Small Questions Practice", and "Golden Test Papers for College Entrance Examination"?"

Bai Siyu stiffened.
