Chapter 236 Stockholm Syndrome



Ning Wan only saw the live stream replay after she had coaxed Ning Yanshu to sleep.

Fortunately, the child was asleep, otherwise she was afraid that her angry appearance would frighten Ning Yanshu.

This Su Lin is utterly shameless.

Distorting the truth and turning the tables!

It was clearly she and Ning Jianshe who deliberately drugged Ning Wan, intending to give her to a certain old man in his fifties to curry favor with him, but Shen Fu intercepted the plan halfway through.

Now they're turning around and crying "stop thief!"

At the same time, Ning Wan couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

Because both what Su Lin said in the live broadcast and the hotel's surveillance footage are true.

Su Lin is very smart; she knows that lies are easy to expose.

She avoided the important issues and only picked out facts and truths that were favorable to her and had vague concepts.

But they never mention what role they played in it!

As soon as the news broke, Ning Wan immediately called Shen Fu.

As expected, no one answered the phone.

Even Yi Yue's phone was unanswered.

Ning Wan knew that Shen Fu must be extremely busy right now.

The company's public relations department has not issued any statement to date.

Ning Wan dared not disturb Shen Fu any further.

I only left him a text message, telling him to remember to call me back when he's done with his work...

...

Ning Wan didn't sleep well that night.

Perhaps because she was sleeping on the sofa, she woke up many times in the middle of the night.

Ning Wan opened her eyes warily when she felt a gentle touch on her cheek, and finally saw Shen Fu, who had finally made it back.

She climbed her arms around Chen Fu's neck, her nose red, and looked somewhat aggrieved: "Aman... why did it take you so long to come back?"

Shen Fu's heart softened.

All his fatigue vanished when he saw Ning Wan lying on the sofa, asleep while waiting for him to come home.

A light was on inside the room.

The warm yellow hue softened the weariness on her face.

He picked up Ning Wan and gently placed her on his lap: "Did what happened tonight scare you?"

Ning Wan shook her head, her eyes revealing unease.

She asked with concern, "What exactly happened? Why was something from six years ago brought up again?"

"Don't look so gloomy, smile." Shen Fu's lips curved slightly. He raised his hand to smooth Ning Wan's furrowed brows and gently comforted her, "It's just a small matter, Wanwan, don't worry."

"This is a small matter?" Ning Wan was somewhat impressed by his composure.

"Hmm..." Shen Fu murmured to himself, "Compared to internal troubles, external threats are indeed a minor matter..."

A fierce glint flashed in Shen Fu's eyes as he thought of Shen Jiahao.

But when he thought of the person in front of him, his expression softened instantly: "Don't worry."

Ning Wan was filled with anxiety: "So what do we do now? Is there anything I can do?"

"Wouldn't it be more advantageous for us to release a statement and explanation online, just like Su Lin did?"

“It’s no use,” Shen Fu said. “Even if Wanwan really did that, I’m afraid some people with ulterior motives would misinterpret it as Stockholm Syndrome.”

Stockholm syndrome.

This refers to a complex in which victims develop feelings for their perpetrators, and may even turn around and help them.

“But Ah Man and I aren’t in the situation they think we are,” Ning Wan said, feeling both angry and aggrieved.

There's a deep sense of bitterness in my heart, with nowhere to vent it.

It was clearly a matter between her and Shen Fu, but a group of people inexplicably put it on the internet for judgment.

They know nothing, yet they make wild guesses and wild speculations.

“I understand Wanwan’s feelings, but no matter what we say now, netizens won’t buy it.” Shen Fu comforted her, saying, “Most people on the internet follow the crowd. They don’t care about the truth; they only believe what they see in front of them. They wield what they believe to be the sword of justice and slash at the poor and helpless.”

When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.

But they never admitted they were wrong before the avalanche.

They are pure and innocent, considering themselves noble, and taking their own standards of justice and morality as their own. Yet, it is precisely these kinds of people who are most easily manipulated and exploited.

"So we're just going to let them continue spouting nonsense and maliciously slandering you?" Ning Wan said indignantly, "That's not fair!"

"Of course not, but we need to gather enough strong evidence to prove it."

The deep, resonant voice sounded exceptionally serene in the moonlight tonight.

His expression was flat, without any fluctuation. It was as if these people and these things could not evoke any emotion in him.

Shen Fu picked up Ning Wan's hair, held it in his palm, and kissed it.

"Don't worry, Wanwan, I'll find a way..." Shen Fu's voice carried a deep meaning that was hard to explain.

Ning Wan felt that his behavior was a bit too strange.

But I can't quite put my finger on it, I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong...

...

The next day, when Ning Wan woke up, Shen Fu had already left.

If it weren't for the sumptuous breakfast laid out on the living room table, she might have thought that last night's relapse was just a dream.

Knowing that Shen Fu had come back and left again last night, Ning Yanshu felt pitiful for not seeing her father.

I felt extremely wronged.

After finally coaxing him to go to kindergarten, Ning Wan arrived at the boxed lunch store after buying groceries and was stunned by the mess on the ground.

Rotten eggs and rotten cabbage.

Moldy food, rotten and expired swill.

All sorts of garbage, as well as unidentified objects with a foul odor, were dumped in front of the store.

The walls and doors of the shop were spray-painted with all sorts of ugly and offensive words.

Upon seeing this, Shen Yurong couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, which bastard did this! If I catch him, I'll kill him!"

Ning Wan remained silent.

She pursed her lips, her face cold, and silently picked up a broom to begin cleaning the filth in front of the door.

Shen Yurong snatched the tools from her hand and said angrily, "What are you sweeping for? Leave evidence, call the police, check the surveillance footage. We must find this bastard!"

A crowd of onlookers had already gathered around.

Seeing this, they jeered: "You fell in love with a rapist, had a son with him, and even colluded with outsiders to send your own father to prison. Even if the police come, they'll arrest you ungrateful bastards first."

"Exactly! Everyone says raising children is for old age security, but who knew we'd end up with an ungrateful wretch!"

"Just standing next to someone like that makes me feel disgusted!"
