Chapter 16: Future Ruined
It was only after knocking on Lin Xiaotang's door that Su Jinqiong found out what had happened.
Lin Xiaotang was indeed retaliated against.
Although she had been persuading Zhou Yunjie that perhaps her family's business had offended someone, through Cheng Hongwei's words and Shen Zhiyu's reminders, Zhou Yunjie felt that no one else could escape.
It must have been Liu Yingjun and Lu Lihong who hired someone to do it.
"There's really no law! They did such a disgusting thing, and yet they're blaming you for it. You're so shameless that you're yelling at them to open the door! You're so shameless!"
Ever since Zhou Yunjie caught the adulterer in the hotel, he didn't know whether he was stimulated by Cheng Hongwei's rabbit ears costume or by Liu Yingjun and his wife.
Anyway, all the past emotions turned into anger and ran rampant in the body, as if the body would explode if it was not vented.
"No, we must expose them and make them suffer the consequences of their actions!"
As Zhou Yunjie was about to call his friend Cheng Ningning, a self-media blogger, but before the call was connected, Lin Xiaotang's phone rang first.
The more Lin Xiaotang listened, the uglier her expression became. Seeing this, Zhou Yunjie quickly hung up the phone and asked her in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded familiar, and Zhou Yunjie remembered it was Miao Ling.
When she leaned over, she heard Miao Ling's tearful voice, "Xiaotang, what should we do? The company has already investigated the housekeeping department. I heard that President Shen has issued a death order, and the person responsible will be fired immediately. If I get fired because of this, I won't be able to survive in this industry anymore."
Zhou Yunjie felt a huge sense of guilt. If it weren't for her, Miao Ling wouldn't have to be so frightened now.
After hanging up the phone, she said to Lin Xiaotang, “Otherwise, I’ll go and beg Shen Zhiyu for mercy?”
Lin Xiaotang sighed, "If you go now, it means that Miao Ling leaked the video, right?"
"What should we do then?"
Lin Xiaotang didn't know what to do, and the two of them sat facing each other in silence.
Just as Lin Xiaotang was trying to find a solution, her phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number.
Lin Xiaotang picked up the phone, listened for a few words, and then asked, "I have to believe you when you say you're a lawyer. Who knows if you're a scammer?"
Just as he was about to hang up, the other party said the client's name.
Lin Xiaotang was instantly deflated and hung up the phone dejectedly.
Zhou Yunjie listened to the general idea and then looked at Lin Xiaotang's expression, "What about the couple's lawyer?"
Lin Xiaotang nodded, "They want to sue me for defamation."
Zhou Yunjie understood everything after hearing this. His nose gradually felt sore and his eyes reddened. "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, how could you and Miao Ling have encountered such a thing?"
"Crying won't solve the problem, so let's just do what we have to do!" Lin Xiaotang handed Zhou Yunjie a tissue, "If it's a blessing, there's no disaster. If it's a disaster, there's no way around it."
Although she said this, Zhou Yunjie understood her.
Lin Xiaotang is a very strong-willed person who never admits defeat. The fact that she can say such resigned words proves that this matter is really difficult to deal with.
Comfort is the most useless thing now, but she found that she could not say anything except comfort.
After leaving Lin Xiaotang's house, Zhou Yunjie thought all the way.
Although Lin Xiaotang's family had some money, their business was not that big after all, otherwise her family would not have asked her to take the civil service exam right after graduation just to have a stable job.
If this incident affects her chances of taking the civil service exam, she will never be at peace with herself for the rest of her life.
And there is Miao Ling, who originally had a good job, but because of her, her future was ruined.
She now understood,
What Shen Zhiyu said to her was not alarmist.
