Chapter 31 I am Ling Aman
The video isn't over yet.
"Tsk."
A soft, impatient click of the tongue, like a viper flicking its tongue, said, "I told you, don't let me hear your voice."
"Why can't they learn from their mistakes?"
"Pain teaches you a lesson, don't you think, Ling?"
Several figures surrounded them...
The video ends with Xu Ziqi's satisfied yet cold warning: "By the way, even so, don't make a sound. Got it?"
Snap.
A soft sound.
It was the custom-made fountain pen in You Jingxuan's hand that he had snapped off its barrel.
The inky black liquid mixed with the blood on his hands, spreading out in a dirty mess.
He remained frozen in his chair, the study deathly silent.
Countless netizens, still engrossed in their entertainment late at night, clicked on this link one after another.
After that, the Xu family could no longer suppress the truth.
This massive wave that swept across the internet has finally begun to subside.
The overwhelming public pressure has put pressure on the relevant departments.
Xu Ziqi, the once glamorous "Nation's Little Sister," has been officially labeled a disgraced artist and has been completely blacklisted by the industry.
Her past actions were investigated one by one.
With so many eyes watching, the Xu family was powerless to protect it.
Moreover, because of this incident, the Xu family's stock price plummeted, netizens spontaneously boycotted Xu's products, and the market value evaporated by more than half, leaving them unable to take care of themselves.
The Xu family has unanimously decided to give up on Xu Ziqi.
She can't escape imprisonment.
The Ling family.
Ling's parents looked at each other while watching the news report, and then wept with joy.
Ling Yang let out a long sigh of relief, his tense shoulders completely relaxing as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Even the system exploded with colorful virtual fireworks in Ling Wei's mind.
"The Wicked Woman's Luck is Being Reclaimed!"
"Positive energy has been collected!"
But the system was then puzzled: "It seems the villain's luck hasn't been completely recovered?"
Regardless, let's wait and see how things develop.
Considering the turmoil Ling Wei had gone through, her mentor, Academician Zhang, generously granted her a long leave of absence, earnestly instructing her: "Go out for a walk, relax, and don't always think about the lab."
Ling Wei didn't want to go anywhere. She just wanted to stay at home, by her parents' side, and enjoy this belated peace.
In comparison, Lingyang's situation was much more "miserable".
Since that live stream, her fan base has exploded, although most of them came because of Ling Wei.
It is said that the higher-ups are considering "temporarily transferring" him to a position more suitable for leveraging his "celebrity effect".
Ling Yang could only rub his nose and continue his miserable daily life at the grassroots level.
However, the police's keen senses alerted Ling Yang to something unusual about his neighborhood.
For several days in a row, a suspicious figure was always lurking around.
The person was tall and slender, wearing a hoodie with the brim pulled low, making his long legs stand out even more in the wet, rainy weather.
Strangely, he didn't even use an umbrella, letting the rain soak his shoulders.
Ling Yang frowned, worried that it was a retaliation from the Xu family, and his vigilance was at its peak.
When he saw that figure again in the early morning, he acted decisively and rushed forward.
The man reacted quickly and ran away.
But how can an ordinary person's leg strength compare to that of a professionally trained criminal police officer?
He hadn't run far when Ling Yang swiftly and decisively tackled him, pinning him to the ground on the cold, wet asphalt.
"Behave yourself!" Ling Yang hissed, ripping the man's hat off.
When Ling Yang saw the familiar face under the hat brim, he was completely stunned: "...It's you?!"
Ling Wei, still asleep, was gently awakened by her mother: "Weiwei, wake up quickly, your...friend is here."
In the light and shadow at the stairwell, the figure that You Xingye had been longing for these past few days appeared.
Ling Wei was wearing soft pajamas, her hair was loose, her eyes were still sleepy, and there were red marks from the pillow on her cheeks.
That unguarded, soft appearance, like a feather, gently brushed against his tormented heart. Longing, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly overwhelmed him.
That night, he got off the plane early and practically ran there.
But just before he arrived, he clicked on that long-forgotten video.
Every frame was like a red-hot branding iron, searing his heart.
He dared not see her, afraid to see the lingering pain in her clear eyes, and even more afraid that he would not be able to bear the unintentional feeling of being an "accomplice" stemming from the past.
Seeing her so suddenly, I had so many words stuck in my throat, which ultimately turned into an uncontrollable stinging and burning sensation in my eyes.
The tall man's eyes welled up with tears, looking utterly disheveled.
Ling Wei quickly stepped forward and immediately noticed the fresh scratches on his face. She glared at Ling Yang, a little annoyed.
You hit him?!
Ling Yang was more wronged than Dou E: "Heaven and earth bear witness! I really didn't hit him! He fell down on his own!"
Ling Wei ignored her brother's explanation. She gently cupped his face, took the cotton swab from her mother, and carefully wiped his wound.
A cool touch came, and You Xingye raised his hand and grasped Ling Wei's slender wrist, his voice hoarse and choked with emotion: "I'm sorry... Weiwei... I'm sorry..."
Ling Wei simply shook her head quietly, signaling him not to move, and continued what she was doing.
However, the man's emotions, which had been suppressed for too long, finally spiraled out of control.
Tears mixed with the freshly applied brown medicine, leaving streaks of disarray on his handsome face.
Ling's parents looked at each other in dismay, watching their usually dazzling star on stage silently weep like a child who had done something wrong.
Ling Wei sighed silently, put down the cotton swabs and medicine bottle in her hand, took You Xingye's hand, and gently tugged at it, signaling him to come upstairs with her.
Ling Yang instinctively wanted to follow and see, but his mother quickly grabbed him.
Ling's father shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked away, leaving the space to the young man.
Ling Wei walked ahead, and You Xingye followed closely behind her with his head down, his tall figure looking rather pitiful at the moment.
System: "Hey, looks like he's reluctant to break up and still wants to talk to you."
Before Ling Wei could answer, it continued, "Now that you've succeeded in getting revenge, you'll definitely say that men only hinder my career progress, right?"
Hmph, it knew it. For a strong female lead, romance is something even a dog wouldn't...
Ling Wei was surprised to hear this: [Talk! Why won't you talk?]
system:?
Ling Wei didn't care about any of that. Building a career was one thing, and having a man was another. She was full of energy and could do many things at once, so what?
System: But he used to like Xu Ziqi, and Xu Ziqi hurt you like that.
Ling Wei smiled meaningfully: "I'm more excited about other people's fish."
system:……
How are you any different from the traitor Cao Cao?
