Chapter 333 You can't solve me every time there's a problem.
Liang Yizhi turned to look at her, "We left Shen Ruofu behind because she is a useful piece of evidence. Whatever you do, protect yourself first."
Jiang Ran continued her report: "The other person who appeared in the live stream yesterday was Grandpa Xu. The person who invited him in was the same person who sent you the friend verification message, but the information registered by this person was that of an illiterate old lady, which clearly means that his identity was stolen."
Liang Yizhi closed his eyes briefly. "So, this person still has the video?"
Jiang Ran remained silent at the obvious answer.
As for Old Master Xu, he'll keep quiet for the sake of his grandson and the Xu family's reputation.
But the person hiding in the shadows, holding the evidence, is the real, uncontrollable threat.
“If this will affect you, then let’s get a divorce,” Ji Ying said.
Liang Yizhi frowned instantly. "We can solve problems, but you can't solve me every time there's a problem."
“No, I’m calm,” Ji Ying said calmly. “I’ve already gotten myself into a mess, but I have to protect your reputation in the industry because you’re more important than me and can do more things than I can, besides…”
Her voice choked up.
Liang Yizhi grasped her hand.
"First, you're not at fault. The harm you suffered was a challenge they issued to me. If I let you go now, it would be surrender. Second, true protection isn't about you pushing me to a safe haven. If I can't even protect my own woman, then I, Liang Yizhi, am the most useless man. What dignity do I have to talk about?"
After saying that, he hugged Ji Ying tightly in his arms.
Ji Ying's cheek pressed against his warm chest, and she could clearly hear his steady and powerful heartbeat.
There was a time when this embrace also made her feel cold.
She would blame him because of Shen Aizhu, push him away because of Shen Ruofu, and distance herself from him because of Bai Ning.
But when it was her turn to be caught in a terrible vortex, he reached out to her without any hesitation, perfectly embodying the saying "husband and wife are one".
This unconditional trust and protection, like a scorching warm current, forcefully assaulted the defenses she had built with ice.
However, just then, Mrs. Shen called.
"Is Ji Ying by your side?" Madam Shen asked.
"Is there something you need?" Liang Yizhi's voice was devoid of emotion.
"You should come back."
Madam Shen hung up the phone without giving a reason.
Liang Yizhi put away his phone, his eyes turning cold.
"I'll go with you."
Ji Ying's check-up was already complete, so she didn't need to be hospitalized. Judging from Liang Yizhi's expression, she knew that Madam Shen's summons was definitely not a good thing. Since he had chosen to share the burden, she was willing to face it with him.
An hour later, the red flag stopped in front of the Shen residence.
It got colder again today. When Ji Ying got off the bus, she was startled by the cold air and couldn't help but shiver.
Liang Yizhi immediately put his arm around her and led her inside.
In the living room of the Shen residence, Shen Jingxiu and Old Master Shen were not seen; only Madam Shen and Shen Ruofu were present.
"Mom, it's cold. This is some longan and red date tea I made. Please warm yourself up."
As she spoke, Shen Ruofu handed the steaming cup in her hands to Madam Shen with both hands.
Madam Shen took the teacup, the warm touch spreading from her palm to her heart.
These days, Shen Ruofu has been staying at home for a while, and she has been taking good care of her and being considerate in every way.
As she felt this attachment, her husband's past admonitions subtly softened in her heart.
Perhaps his view is biased.
Although Ruofu is not her biological child, she is very well-behaved and considerate, and she even looks like her lost Ruoheng. Isn't this a comfort bestowed upon her by heaven?
Just as Madam Shen took a sip of the sweet longan tea, a warm smile still lingering on her lips from the touch of Shen Ruofu's gentle touch, Liang Yizhi and Ji Ying walked in together.
The smile on Madam Shen's face instantly froze at the corners of her mouth and vanished.
Regardless of her attitude, Liang Yizhi led Ji Ying further inside after entering the room.
Because the further inside you go, the warmer it gets.
"What brings Madam Shen here?" Liang Yizhi asked.
Madam Shen did not answer directly, but instead turned the tablet computer on the table to face them.
The paused scene on the screen was the video of Ji Ying and Xu Zhaoheng "entangled" in the private room of the teahouse.
“Yizhi, no matter what you think, in my heart you will always be a member of the Shen family. This woman’s improper behavior will not only affect your career, but also tarnish the reputation of the Shen family. You must make a decision today.”
"What decision?" Liang Yizhi pretended not to understand.
Madam Shen's voice rose slightly, "I must divorce her!"
Shen Ruofu's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.
Liang Yizhi snorted coldly, "Since Madam Shen has seen the video, she knows my wife is the victim. Instead of investigating who the culprit is, Madam Shen is eager for me to divorce my wife who was hurt. Is this how you are?"
Madam Shen was speechless for a moment.
Fearing that she might waver, Shen Ruofu quickly advised from the side, "Yizhi, when Mom saw this video, her first reaction was to feel sorry for you. After all, if the other party can send it to Mom, they can send it to everyone. If this video is exposed, Ji Ying will definitely lose face, and your hard-earned career will also be greatly affected. Mom is doing this for your own good."
"Are you threatening me?" Liang Yizhi said coldly.
Shen Ruofu's breath hitched.
Does he know something?
Seeing that Liang Yizhi was targeting his adopted daughter, Madam Shen immediately spoke sternly, "Yizhi, don't be so stubborn. Before everyone sees the video, quickly distance yourself from her. Your teacher, Mr. Shen... also thinks so."
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow and looked at Madam Shen.
After being separated for more than a decade, she has even learned to lie.
But what reasonable words or actions can one expect from someone who would even sacrifice her own daughter?
Ji Ying chuckled softly and remained silent.
Liang Yizhi remained indifferent to Madam Shen's words, ignoring her response, and instead tried to glean key information from her conversation.
"Who sent you the video?"
"Yes..." Madam Shen was taken aback by the question. "I don't know who it was. It was sent to my email first thing this morning. But does that matter? What's important now is that you can't be implicated by Ji Ying!"
Liang Yizhi walked to the table, tapped the screen a few times with his slender index finger, then took out his phone and made a call.
The call was answered almost instantly.
"I'm investigating an anonymous email, tracing the IP address, and waiting for the results on-site."
Shen Ruofu's heart skipped a beat.
In fact, although his plan to scheme against Ji Ying was risky, it was the most ingenious scheme he had ever devised.
She sacrificed her fiancé to set up this scheme: first, to make Liang Yizhi abandon Ji Ying; and second, to show the Xu family that Xu Zhaoheng was not clean either, thus dispelling their idea of canceling the engagement.
However, Liang Yizhi's keen insight has now become the only variable in this plan to kill two birds with one stone.
However, the anonymous email was forwarded by her to someone else, who then anonymously sent it to Mrs. Shen's email address from abroad.
So even if we can find her IP address, we can't trace it back to her.
Yes, Liang Yizhi couldn't find out!
They definitely won't be able to find it!
