Chapter 55: Intentional Homicide
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Jian Sili and Jian Zhengyuan entered the venue as key figures.
Reporters, already prepared, held various cameras and pointed them at the central figure. They pressed their shutters one after another, and the flashes went off and on, making people feel tense and oppressive.
Jian Sili explained the recent public opinion that netizens were concerned about, and Jian Zhengyuan bowed and apologized reluctantly.
Facing the reporter's aggressiveness, Jian Zhengyuan forced himself to shed crocodile tears, describing his tragic appearance of having lost both legs and not yet been discharged from the hospital. He sincerely admitted his mistake and promised to donate 20 million of his personal property to charity.
Jian Zhengyuan was very good at acting, and at this point the voices of condemnation became much weaker.
If it goes on at this pace, it will be a very successful public relations conference.
but……
A burst of hurried and heavy footsteps was heard, and then a group of policemen with serious expressions rushed into the venue.
As everyone at the scene stared in astonishment, a police officer approached the grieving Jian Zhengyuan, flashing his ID. "I'm a police officer. Someone has reported you as suspected of intentional homicide. Please come with us."
After a brief silence, the scene erupted in a continuous stream of sighs. Whether it was cameras, photos, or livestreams, all cameras were focused on Jian Zhengyuan. Flashes and shutter sounds echoed one after another, transforming the scene into a sea of interwoven light and shadow.
The apology Jian Zhengyuan was trying to put on suddenly froze. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression froze for a moment. But in front of the camera, he quickly recovered.
"Although I have done some wrong things, I have never crossed the legal line. Intentional murder? This is slander and a great insult to my reputation and character."
"I will go with you and cooperate with the police investigation. I believe that with an impartial police investigation, everything will come to light."
Before leaving, he even shamelessly warned netizens in front of the camera, "If netizens are also faced with this kind of false accusation and defamation, please use legal weapons to defend your rights. If there is insufficient funds, Jane's Group will provide free assistance to the victims."
Reporters crowded out of the scene until Jian Zhengyuan was taken away in a police car.
The police car drove away and passed by a black Bentley on the side of the road.
Jian Zhengyuan's sinister and fierce expression was reflected on the car window and quickly disappeared.
After the crowd dispersed, Jian Yi withdrew his gaze and told the driver, "Go back."
He was wearing a black woolen coat and leaning on the back seat, like a noble boss, planning and strategizing, exuding the confidence and danger of the king of the forest and his prey from the inside out.
But at this time, a fierce cat invaded the territory of the king of the forest, jumping around him and sometimes accidentally stepping on him. The ferocious king of the forest could only open his mouth and use his sharp teeth to intimidate the ignorant cat.
——[Wow, I've learned a lot. Shameless people are invincible. How can someone be so shameless?]
No. 13: "This face is too good at acting. This face is suitable for peeling off and making lanterns."
The longer I stay with Gao Li, the more bloody his complaints become.
——[Not suitable, too shameless, the lantern won't light up at all.]
——[But without surveillance or dashcam footage, can he be convicted? What on earth is Jian Yi thinking?]
No. 13: "Why don't you just ask him?"
The heater in the car was on high. As soon as he saw Jian Zhengyuan crying crocodile tears, he was so angry that sweat broke out on his forehead and he took off his coat.
She glanced secretly at Jian Yi, who was concentrating on watching the direction of public opinion online.
——[We are still in the Cold War.]
No. 13: "Oh, my dear host, you're not going to have a cold war from now on, are you? Husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed..."
——[We are not husband and wife.]
No. 13: "Engaged couple, almost."
——[Very different.]
No. 13: “Is this the point?!”
——[……]
Number 13 earnestly advised, "Even though you're in a cold war, and even though Jian Yi is mad at you, if he hadn't made arrangements ahead of time for that incident at the flower shop, who knows what would have happened. He looked angry, but he still took your and Sui Sui's safety into consideration when making the arrangements. Tell me, shouldn't we be grateful and let this go?"
Gao Li sat back a little, then moved a little further. Her fingertips touched his clothes, and she pinched them quietly, as if to cheer herself up.
She bent down, and her pretty little face suddenly appeared in Jian Yi's field of vision, blocking his view of the phone.
——[Ding, your little cutie is online!]
The woman puffed up her lips, put on a flattering smile, and looked directly at Jian Yi with her sparkling eyes.
Jian Yi: “…”
I have never seen such a boring person doing such a boring thing.
He glanced at her and ignored her.
Gao Li: “…”
She was typing on her phone.
[Can you share your plan with those around you?]
——[I really want to know what the boss’s plan is.]
Gao Li waved the phone screen in front of Jian Yi, but Jian Yi turned his face away and ignored him.
——[He saw it, he definitely saw it!]
Gao Li gritted her teeth, her face puffing with anger. She took a deep breath, wrapped her arms around Jian Yi's, and pressed herself against him in a very intimate and domineering manner.
Jian Yi pulled hard but failed to free his trapped arm.
"What are you doing?"
[I'm sorry, I apologize for what happened last time. Can we stop the cold war?]
Looking at the words on the phone and meeting the woman's expectant, bright eyes, Jian Yi didn't know how to react for a moment.
He didn't expect Qian Dao to be so direct.
Jian Yi didn't say anything, picked up his phone and ignored her as if she were air.
Gao Li lowered his eyes in disappointment, but the next second a message popped up on his phone, and it was from Jian Yi.
——[Huh? You're sitting right next to me, why are you still texting me?]
She clicked on it suspiciously.
[Just wait and see. It won't be a surprise if I tell you about it.]
--[What? ]
No. 13: "Idiot, you're asking about the plan."
Gao Li's dark eyes turned around and around cunningly.
——[So... is he giving me another way out?]
Gao Li laughed and boldly touched Jian Yi's head.
——[He's a tough-mouthed, soft-hearted guy, and he's easy to coax.]
"you……"
Jian Yi slapped her hand away and moved towards the car window. Gao Li followed closely behind him and squeezed in, hugging his arm tightly and rubbing his head against his shoulder.
"open."
--[don't want. ]
Jian Yi was about to say something else, but he saw the driver looking at them through the rearview mirror with an auntie's smile on his face.
Jian Yi: “…”
He turned his head helplessly and looked out the window, but the slightly red tips of his ears betrayed his mood.
Jian Zhengyuan was taken back to the police station for questioning and investigation. This news did not need to be sent to Jian's family specifically, as it was already all over the Internet.
The only evidence the police received was the restored recording.
The recording was played in the small interrogation room, and every word and every sentence was particularly clear.
Jian Zhengyuan chuckled and licked the tip of his tongue.
I didn't expect that this beast even recorded the conversation that night. I really underestimated him.
However, the content of the recording only shows that the two people did have an argument that night, but there are no clear words to indicate that he committed intentional homicide or hired someone to kill.
Jian Zhengyuan refused to admit it, only stating that the two of them did have an argument that night and that there was indeed a car accident, but that the accident was an accident.
Jian Yi lost his memory and he lost his legs. Both of them were victims.
He interpreted those implicit words as being blurted out emotionally during the argument.
Anyway, he refused to admit it, and he was also very sure that Jian Fang had no other evidence except this recording.
This recording was an accident, and he had destroyed all other evidence that night.
This beastly son is too naive to think of convicting him based on a recording.
This recording cannot prove Jian Zhengyuan's guilt. Jian Yi is very clear that with the power of the Jian family, this matter can be settled quickly.
All he wanted was to see the image of him being taken away on suspicion of intentional homicide in public view, pushing the public opinion that was about to subside to a climax.
The police are still investigating and the matter has not yet been clarified, but public opinion from all sides is already flying around online.
All the public relations apology performed by Jian Zhengyuan and Jian Sili was wasted.
Jianjia was also in a state of panic, running around in circles. Zhou Lan called and begged his son to hire the best lawyer, while Jian Shaoyi vomited fragrant food and scolded Jian Yi and Su Sangwan bitterly, still not satisfied.
But she felt a sense of fear, a familiar fear.
Jian Yi, who once caused chaos in the Jian family, is back again.
What was his next plan? What was he trying to push them to?
The police were unable to convict Jian Zhengyuan and did not have sufficient evidence, so they had to let Jian Zhengyuan go at the appointed time.
As soon as he left the police station, he posted a statement on social media, thanking the police for clearing his name.
The meaning is very simple. Look, I have not been detained and have not been convicted. I am innocent and have been framed.
But the Internet did not appear to be overwhelmingly in his favor as he had imagined, because no one is stupid. You are not suspected of any other crime, but intentional homicide, which is a criminal case.
Being released doesn't mean you're innocent.
But without evidence, netizens are just guessing, and no one knows which one is true.
Jian Yi hired another wave of internet trolls to take advantage of the opportunity to get involved and broke the news that Jian Zhengyuan had assaulted and insulted medical staff in the hospital.
The entire hospital knew about this, not just the medical staff, but also the other patients. Many of those patients were not paid hush money, and one or two of them spoke very honestly about the facts they encountered in the hospital.
The anger of netizens reached its peak, and the Jian family and even the Jian Group encountered an unprecedented crisis.
The waters were completely muddied, and even if Jian Zhengyuan wanted to get out, he would have to pay a heavy price.
Jane's Group held an emergency board meeting because Jian Zhengyuan's personal behavior had caused indelible damage to the company's image and reputation.
After discussion, the board of directors decided to remove Jian Zhengyuan from his position and hold him accountable in accordance with the company's articles of association.
Jian Sili agreed that this was the best solution at the moment and the only way was to separate him from the company.
At the same time, the directors also criticized Jian Sili and asked him to take care of his own family affairs and not let some messy personal matters affect the interests of the company.
Jian Sili humbly accepted the criticism, which was a backlash. Tying the company to the Jian family could push the Jian Group to a height of admiration, but it could also drag it down with it into hell.
After the meeting, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Without having to endure his father's interference, my father can spend his old age in peace.
fine.
