The persuasiveness of the photo made Zhu Jin and Shi Shangbai change their expressions, while Zhu Yexin, Fuling and others also became uncontrollable and subtle when watching the news. Ye Banxia lowered his head and his expression could not be seen.
Shi Shangbai stared at the photo stiffly. If he had been frank before, Zhu Jin would not notice anything. But the photo in the news revealed his hidden thoughts. Zhu Jin was also looking at the photo. He stared at it for a long time and then looked away to read the news. Shi Shangbai looked at Zhu Jin's reaction and felt a little relieved. He suppressed the bitterness and watched the news content calmly.
The theme of the content is very clear, which is to expose Zhu Jin's two-timing, and mention Shi Shangbai's identity. At the end of the news, it also speculated whether Shi Shangbai was the force behind Zhu Jin that had always supported him. Shi Shangbai's position is not high or low, so it is possible that he helped Zhu Jin to restore his position.
Although the news didn't say much, it was enough.
The silence spread, and finally it was Ishigami Kashiwa who broke the silence. He looked at the time and stood up. "It's almost time. You can go to the police station. I will handle this matter. You don't have to worry too much. Just focus on cooperating with the investigation. I have already sent people to investigate the situation at the orphanage. If nothing unexpected happens, the mastermind will be released today."
"How are you going to deal with it?" Zhu Jin gave a wry smile. It was her business, but she seemed to always hear this sentence.
"There is always a way to deal with it. I'll take a look first. You don't have to worry too much." Ishigami Kashiwa smiled and said, "Go to the police station quickly. These news reports are just trying to discredit you. You can't ignore them, but don't take them too seriously. Don't let them affect your mood. The most important thing for you now is to cooperate with the investigation of Hu Hu and the orphanage. This is the most important thing."
"Yes, this is the most important thing, and it directly affects the trial." Zhu Yexin nodded aside, packed up her things and urged Zhu Jin, "Let's go, we'll go to the police station first, and leave the rest to them."
"Thank you, thank you for trusting me." Zhu Jin glanced at Shi Shangbai, but couldn't say anything. Looking at the people who trusted her and came to help her at this time, she was filled with emotion.
"Go quickly, go quickly." Shi Shangbai didn't say anything. Ye Banxia smiled, and Fuling chased Zhu Jin without even raising her head.
After Zhu Jin left, Shi Shangbai's face turned completely cold. "All these media reporters should remember this. When there is a result in Zhu Jin's case, all of them should be sued in court."
"Of course." Fuling still didn't raise her head.
"Mr. Ye, Fuling is busy and has no time. You are most familiar with the prison. Can you help take a look at the situation there?" Shi Shangbai was not polite because of Zhu Jin's trusting and friendly attitude towards Ye Banxia.
"Of course, I'll go to the prison soon. Prison guard Qiu and the others have already taken the initiative to find the source." Ye Banxia nodded, and seeing that Shi Shangbai didn't say anything else, she took the initiative to say goodbye.
After Ye Banxia went out, Shi Shangbai contacted several people at the same time. Through video conferencing, he and Fuling briefly exchanged information with the people he had already started and assigned new tasks.
"You will send all the information you find to me later, and then go check the information about Maimendong, Lian Chang... and gather all the information here after you find it. You have to be quick." Ishigami Bai collected information and issued the latest tasks.
After the call ended, Fuling finally looked up at Shi Shangbai and asked, "Are you going to take action against Helian Zhen?"
Shi Shangbai nodded, "Well, she was careful and someone helped her, and no evidence was left, but the people who helped her are not necessarily. The people who helped her would not help her for no reason. I think it is impossible for her to bribe so many people in such a short time. The most likely possibility is that she used some kind of threat to control these people. Since she controlled these people with threats, there must be something behind these people that cannot be made public. We are specifically looking for the threatened part. If we can't deal with Helian Zhen, the people who dealt with her are not bad. This time, no one can be left behind, and we must catch them all in one fell swoop. Helian Zhen has to think twice before using this method again in the future."
"It's a good idea, but it may be difficult to clean up all of them. I can't find out many of Helian Zhen's whereabouts and the people he associated with. It seems that the people he associated with disappeared. I don't know where to start with someone who can do this." Fuling nodded and then shook her head.
"The only ones who can do this are those in the circle. It doesn't matter if we can't find them for the time being. The Prime Minister's term is about to end. This time, he must change people. By then, the circle will be in turmoil. We can always find them." Ishigami Bai narrowed his eyes slightly. His boss was the Secretary of State before the Prime Minister changed. It was an opportunity but also a pressure. He was in his current position and could get in touch with many people. "I will pay attention to this matter. Judging from Helian Zhen's methods, it is those few companies."
"Okay." Fuling agreed, completely obeying Ishigami Bo's words, and finally confessed the problem she was facing, "What I am most worried about now is that the hacker who has been helping Helian Zhen will get there before me, and then I will be busy again."
"Don't worry about that. He can destroy some evidence, but he can't destroy all of it. Just find out what's going on." Ishigami Bai changed the subject. "Besides, no one has stipulated that we must have evidence before we can do anything. Apart from the vague things that Zhu Jin has reported in the past two days, the rest are all groundless. Since Helian Zhen can use this method, we can use it too."
As Fuling's eyes suddenly brightened, Shi Shangbai smiled creepily, "Give him a taste of his own medicine. Send me all the clues you found and report everything carefully. People will like these more than Zhu Jin's reports."
"All of them?" Fuling confirmed.
"Well, of all, people's tolerance for pregnant women is even lower than Hu Hu." In Fuling's shining eyes, Shi Shangbai calmly decided, "Helian Zhen is not the only one who has connections with the media."
Zhu Jin cooperated with the police in the police station, and Ishigami Bai acted decisively and quickly made arrangements in the shortest time possible.
Two hours later, several media outlets suddenly reported on Helian Zhen, who was lying in the hospital pretending to be weak and innocent. They started with Shang Lu, who had previously attacked Zhu Jin for having a bad experience, and questioned the news that she was married. They also found Aunt Lian Qing and others to prove that the marriage was a lie.
There were doubts about the news that Helian Zhen suddenly got married, got pregnant and had a miscarriage. As soon as the news came out, everyone's attention quickly shifted. It was unforgivable that she said she wanted to be a pure princess and got pregnant before marriage and then lied. In addition, Zhu Jin's medicine was also mentioned in the middle, which was full of suspicion at such a special time.
There was a little bit of doubt and suspicion, and finally the matter was slowly expanded. When the media expanded the matter to include Lian Qiao's accident and again raised suspicions about Helian Zhen, almost all attention was shifted to Helian Zhen, at which time the news about Zhu Jin was updated again.
This time, even Shi Wei was involved.
The one who involved Shi Wei was not someone else, but Mrs. Hua, whose husband had died, whose son was in prison and had not yet been released, and who had always been in a state of deep hatred for Zhu Jin.
When Mrs. Hua saw the news of Zhu Jin's misfortune, she kept clapping her hands and cheering. Just when she wanted to get involved and step on Zhu Jin a few times, the opportunity came before her.
A lady who used to have a good relationship with the Hua family, kept in touch with the Hua family from time to time after the Hua family fell into decline, and never forgot to come and enlighten Mrs. Hua when she had time. This lady had a child of the same age and class as Shi Wei. After seeing the news about Zhu Jin and Shi Shangbai, she inadvertently mentioned the news that Zhu Jin had gone to the school to pick up Shi Wei.
When Mrs. Hua saw the photos taken by her son from this lady, her eyes lit up.
Mrs. Hua, whose goal is to completely destroy Zhu Jin's reputation and send him back to prison, and the longer the better, the better, there is no way she will miss this opportunity.
Soon, Mrs. Hua asked for the photo and sent it to various media outlets.
There is a big difference between Ishigami Kashiwa having children and not having children. Previously, the media would not have investigated or reported that Ishigami Kashiwa had children in order to discredit Zhu Jin, and if they wanted to bring it up, they would have waited for Ishigami Kashiwa or Zhu Jin to respond. However, the photos sent by Mrs. Hua gave the media enough motivation to continue reporting and adding fuel to the fire.
In the photo, Zhu Jin was wearing the ancient clothes that made her famous. Judging from the photo, she was wearing the same outfit that caused a sensation when she appeared on the show. Zhu Jin and Shi Wei stood closely together, with smiles and eyes, looking like a stepmother and stepson getting along very well.
Being in love with Ishigami Kashiwa, and being in love with Ishigami Kashiwa who has such a big son, is completely different. Being a stepmother to a 13-year-old child at the age of 23 is completely different.
The media chose to report it without hesitation, and their words and deeds all said that in order to gain Ishigami Kashiwa's support, Zhu Jin would rather become a stepmother to a child who was only 10 years younger than her.
As soon as the news was released, the attention that had just been drawn to Helian Zhen's news returned quickly, and heated comments began again. More than 90% of the comments expressed that they could not accept it, and some even used more intense and harsh words.
Ishigami Kashiwa went to the office to work and was contacted by his boss's general manager not long after he arrived. The general manager asked him about his situation and assigned him a lot of tasks. Ishigami Kashiwa thought about his next steps and informed his boss.
After listening to Ishigami Kashiwa's concise report, the boss shook his head for the first time, "I was worried about you not understanding it, and I am even more worried about you now that you understand it... Pay more attention."
"Yeah." Ishigami Bai hung up the phone, looked out the window in silence for a while, then opened his phone to see what news had happened.
His nonchalant expression changed because of the latest news and several missed calls. Ishigami Bai suddenly stood up and walked out quickly, not forgetting to make a call.
No one answered the first call. When he called the second time, Shi Shangbai had already gotten on the speeding car before someone answered the call. Shi Wei answered the call with red eyes. The Shi Wei, who he had always kept energetic and full of vitality, was gone. "Dad, I just realized that I was a burden to you..."
Shi Shangbai's expression changed slightly, and he was about to speak to coax Shi Wei, but Shi Wei's next words made Shi Shangbai's flying car, which was about to fly into the sky, stumble and almost hit the car parked in front.
Shi Wei asked, "Dad, am I... your... biological son?"
