"Why are you angry with the director who's directing this little girl's film?" Ji Shuli said, both amused and exasperated. "Alright, alright, it's nothing, you two stop arguing."
When Ye Zhiwei brought the tea leaves over, Ji Shuli had already rinsed the teaware with boiling water.
Although Jiang Jianian knew that Ye Yingying was trying to provoke him, the name Yu Shishu still made him frown.
That same day, he searched for information about Yu Shishu.

The court date for Jiang Yanqiang has been set, but the timing is a bit rushed.
It was on the third day after the holiday that Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Jianian both asked the school for three days off.
Jiang Yanqiang may be sentenced to life imprisonment or death, and the procuratorate will directly file a public prosecution with the intermediate people's court.
When Jiang Jianian and Ye Zhiwei arrived at the court, they were informed that Jiang Yanqiang was being prosecuted by the procuratorate on charges including rape, intentional homicide, and intentional injury. Due to the involvement of personal privacy, the court would conduct a closed trial, and Jiang Jianian could only appear in court during the sentencing phase.
In order to avoid the prosecution and defense influencing her judgment during the trial, Ye Zhiwei, as a witness, was arranged by the prosecutor to rest in the lounge outside the courtroom before being summoned to testify.
On October 10, the Intermediate People's Court held a closed-door trial for Jiang Yanqiang, who was suspected of rape, intentional homicide, and other crimes.
The prosecutor's office filed charges against Jiang Yanqiang for raping a girl while intoxicated. After the rape, he cruelly beat the girl with a bottle. The girl's parents were deceased, and she lived with her maternal grandparents. The man finally realized that he might go to jail, so he threatened and intimidated the girl in her home with a stick, smashed windows, and destroyed tables and chairs. The girl developed severe depression and even attempted suicide.
The second victim was someone he met at a bar. While the victim was dancing, Jiang Yanqiang repeatedly touched her inappropriately. The victim couldn't take it anymore and slapped Jiang Yanqiang. After the victim had been drinking, Jiang Yanqiang followed her and broke into her home to force her to have sex with him.
...
The third case is Ye Zhiwei. Ye Zhiwei's situation is relatively simple. Jiang Yanqiang attempted to rape her, Ye Zhiwei acted in self-defense, and Jiang Yanqiang was arrested.
The above are the charges against Jiang Yanqiang for rape and intentional injury.
Jiang Yanqiang even murdered a sex worker. After drinking, Jiang Yanqiang wanted to have some fun. He saw a small advertisement, called the number listed, and the woman arrived. After they had sex, the woman demanded payment. Jiang Yanqiang had no money, and the woman cursed and threatened to report him to a local thug. This enraged the already drunk man, and he killed the woman.
The investigation team has found the woman's body.
Jiang Yanqiang buried the body in the suburbs.
After listing the evidence, request that witnesses appear in court to testify.
Jiang Yanqiang, who was already somewhat resistant, became enraged the moment he saw Ye Zhiwei. He lunged forward, yelling, "You bitch! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this mess! How dare you treat me like this? Wait till I get out, you'll see how I teach you a lesson!"
He is blatantly disregarding the court.
Ye Zhiwei seemed surprised that Jiang Yanqiang could be so arrogant in court. Fortunately, the bailiffs restrained Jiang Yanqiang.
The judge seemed surprised that Jiang Yanqiang could be so arrogant in court, and said in a deep voice, "Defendant Jiang Yanqiang, do not disrupt court order."
This is the first reminder.
The judge asked, "Ye Zhiwei, please tell us what happened at that time."
Ye Zhiwei said, "Jiang Yanqiang came to me asking for money, but I refused. He then plotted to do something indecent to me—"
"You bitch, if it weren't for you seducing me, I wouldn't have dared to lay a hand on you. It was all her who seduced me, all her who seduced me..." Jiang Yanqiang said bitterly, "It was her who seduced me, Judge, it was all her who seduced me. If it weren't for her, how could I have..."
The judge frowned and said in a deep voice, "Defendant Jiang Yanqiang, if you violate court order again, this court will have to take coercive measures against you."
Jiang Yanqiang retorted directly, "I already said I'm innocent, I'm innocent! A brat dressed so provocatively was just trying to seduce me, and I went along with it, was that wrong? That woman at the bar was seducing men the whole time, and he just thought I was too old, how dare he say I'm too old—"
This man became twisted from his youthful failures. He couldn't stand any failure, and his pride was frighteningly strong. Lacking ability, he started making excuses for himself. He assaulted women because he was seduced, or because they were dressed inappropriately. He killed sex workers because if he didn't kill them, they would go back and complain, and he would suffer the consequences.
He threatened and intimidated others, bullied the elderly and young girls, and even assaulted women, all of which became someone else's fault.
His years of indulging in drinking and gambling have completely corrupted his mind. His once promising youthful pride has turned into an escapist mentality of shifting blame onto others; everyone else is wrong, and only he is right.
The judge, unable to tolerate it any longer, ordered someone to tape Jiang Yanqiang's mouth shut to prevent him from continuing to disrupt court order.
Throughout the entire court hearing.
Even the legal aid lawyer found for Jiang Yanqiang couldn't come up with a proper defense statement; he could only offer platitudes, saying that Jiang Yanqiang pleaded guilty, accepted punishment, and voluntarily repented, hoping the court would give him a lenient sentence.
The court hearing has concluded and is now in recess.
The judges of the collegial panel discussed the matter.
Jiang Jianian and Ye Zhiwei then entered the courtroom.
When Jiang Yanqiang saw Jiang Jianian, he seemed even more agitated, and he tried to struggle towards her several times with ferocity.
Ye Zhiwei felt that Jiang Yanqiang had gone mad. Thinking of what he had just said, Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but grab Jiang Jianian's arm and said in a low voice, "Don't go over there. He's very emotionally unstable right now. He might do something if you go over there."
She grabbed his arm.
Jiang Jianian paused, his gaze falling on Ye Zhiwei's hand.
He couldn't help but tighten his grip, staring at Ye Zhiwei's hand for a long while before saying in a dry throat, "He won't do anything to me."
How could they not do anything to him? The way Jiang Yanqiang beat Jiang Jianian back then was like he wanted to kill him!
Ye Zhiwei wanted to say something, but then realized her own little action and awkwardly withdrew her hand. "Then... you should be careful. Don't let him influence you. If he says anything to you, don't pay any attention to it. His words are not important."
“Yes, their words don’t matter to me.” Jiang Jianian gave Ye Zhiwei a deep look.
He walked up to Jiang Yanqiang, who suddenly lunged forward, seemingly trying to break free of the handcuffs.
Fearing trouble, the bailiffs suddenly seized Jiang Yanqiang.
After a brief negotiation, Jiang Jianian released Jiang Yanqiang only after confirming that the two were father and son. As soon as Jiang Yanqiang was free, he rushed forward to teach his unfilial son a lesson.
Unexpectedly, his hands were held tightly, and he couldn't move at all.
Jiang Yanqiang was furious and shouted, "You unfilial son, you rebellious child! How dare you treat me like this, and even dare to team up with that bitch against me, trying to put me in jail! You're just like that slut of a mother, siding with outsiders! You son of a bitch—"
"You should thank Ye Zhiwei." Jiang Jianian interrupted Jiang Yanqiang directly. The young man's gaze was cold, with a sinister look in his eyes. His voice was devoid of warmth. He moved closer to Jiang Yanqiang, his voice low and cold. He looked at Jiang Yanqiang and continued, "If you hadn't already been locked up, do you think you would still be alive today?"
