Chapter 286 Uproar
When the last ray of sunset fell quietly, the night slowly covered the entire city like a huge black velvet cloth.
The Xiao Mansion was immersed in tranquility.
The moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard of the mansion like a clear spring. The carefully trimmed flowers, plants and trees were reflected in the moonlight, like water, moon and mirror flowers. The breeze blew gently, and the leaves rustled and whispered.
In the study, Xiao Jingrun was playing chess with Old Man Xiao.
Mr. Xiao, who had the first move, gently twisted a black piece with his fingers and controlled the chess game calmly.
Xiao Jingrun mostly responded with a defensive stance, and on the surface he seemed to be losing ground, but this seemed to be a trap he had carefully laid.
As the game progressed, the offense and defense became more and more intense, and every step was full of suspense and variables. Xiao Jingrun's style of play was calm and restrained. He stared at the newly fallen piece and thought about the next step calmly.
Until the critical moment, Xiao Jingrun suddenly used his killer move, pressing forward step by step with lightning speed, and engulfed most of the black pieces.
The situation was reversed in an instant.
The white piece fell lightly, and the light "pa" sound seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet study.
The man spoke in a steady tone with a faint smile on his face: "Grandpa, I appreciate your concession."
This sentence immediately caused Mr. Xiao to burst into laughter.
Mr. Xiao did not feel the slightest bit of frustration from losing to his juniors. Instead, he praised repeatedly, “Well done, kid. You really didn’t let me down.”
"Of all people, you are the only one who can keep your composure. You are the most like me, and yet the least like me!"
Xiao Jingrun gently stroked his gold-rimmed glasses. Under the light, his dark eyes were full of mystery. He smiled slightly, "This is all due to Grandpa's good teaching."
Mr. Xiao changed the subject and brought up the recent hotly debated topic - the feud between the Gu and Lin families. This dispute has already affected the choice of sides of the authorities.
On the fifth day after the incident, Gu Zhaoye was still detained in the Supervisory Office. The Gu family offered a sky-high deposit of 1.5 billion yuan, which shocked people at home and abroad.
"Everyone knows that the current Speaker is a student of Mr. Lin, but no one knows when the Supervisory Office became the Lin family's private prison." Xiao Jingrun said with a smile.
Old Master Xiao sighed softly, "Zhaoye has a hot temper. I'm afraid he will suffer this time. The situation is extremely unfavorable for them."
Indeed, the situation was extremely unfavorable to the Gu family, and with the Li family fanning the flames, they cried and wailed in front of the camera, pulled their 80-year-old grandmother to bow and apologize in public, and promised to make amends immediately and compensate all citizens who had purchased insurance business from Lianzhong Group.
All the Lee family asks for is justice, that the criminals be brought to justice.
The Li family originally had a bad reputation, but after this commotion, they became the victims. In addition, some people received compensation, and some people even stood up to speak for the Li family.
The Lin family does not need to come forward. Just deal with the Supervisory Office and the media, and naturally someone will stand on their side.
Under double pressure, the police and the court had no choice but to drag the case on.
Xiao Jingrun reached out and took a white piece, stroking it gently with his fingertips, and said calmly: "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Whoever wants to be the winner will have to pay a price."
He threw the chess piece into the chessboard, instantly breaking up the neatly arranged chessboard.
"It is said that Mr. Lin intends to win over Mr. Gu and is preparing to help his younger generation in the next election. It seems that this plan is likely to fail."
"They are too united, and that's not a good thing."
The man picked up the black piece on the chessboard and said with a smile, "This is what my grandfather taught me. Defeat them one by one. Don't be impatient."
....
After a long winter vacation, the new semester has arrived unknowingly.
Jiang Zhiyue's life is not easy.
Everyone in the college is well aware of this, and discussions about it have never stopped.
In the chat room, someone openly named and pointed all the blame at Jiang Zhiyue, saying that she was the cause of trouble because of her beauty, who seduced Gu Zhaoye and made him do all this, but afterwards she pretended nothing happened.
Old Madam Gu directly ordered Mrs. Gu to hand her over.
Mrs. Gu flatly refused and turned around to tell her clearly that the auction would continue and if she had any precautions, she should communicate with Mu Liansheng.
As a result, Jiang Zhiyue received harassing text messages from the man every night, inviting her to his home on weekends and saying that his cat could do backflips.
Jiang Zhiyue agreed to keep the appointment on the grounds that she would finish the current matters after school starts.
As the time was getting closer, Stan Lee also contacted her and said that he could take Jiang Wanrou to the hospital to meet him.
During this extraordinary period, Jiang Zhiyue didn't dare to go out easily. After thinking about it, she thought of Sheng Huaian again.
After editing the text message, she hesitated at the moment of clicking send.
Hot news was pushed out frantically on the screen.
The public opinion war between the Gu and Lin families continued to escalate, exposing each other's scandals.
Gu Zhaoye was caught up in a murder scandal, and his father was also exposed for keeping a lover.
The Lin family was not spared either. A report directly pointed out that the Lin family was hiding a shocking scandal. It was found that the current Mrs. Lin was actually the daughter of a concubine and had snatched away her sister's marriage. It was her sister who was supposed to marry Lin's father.
This revelation caused an uproar!
Before netizens had time to discuss the matter, Jiang Zhiyue saw with her own eyes that the news disappeared without a trace in just one minute.
Before one wave subsides, another wave rises.
A recording and a blurry video were exposed again: a fierce quarrel was heard on a bus traveling in a tunnel. Someone threw women and children off the bus and beat and scolded the girl who tried to stop them.
[What a foolish civilian! After all the losses they have suffered, they are still so naive. They deserve to be exploited and trampled under our feet.]
[They foolishly believed us just because we gave them a little bit of money. They deserve to lose their lives. Throw them all down to me! ]
[Little bitch! I think you are crazy! If I don’t rape you today, my last name will not be Lin! ]
[If you dare to stop me, I will ask the people in the car to rape you——]
[You are just a little maid, you are destined to be trampled under my feet for the rest of your life, what kind of trouble can you cause? Killing you will be as easy as slapping a fly! ]
All kinds of obscene words filled the images and sounds. The girl was grabbed by her hair and thrown to the ground. Then she was pulled up from the ground and strangled by the neck.
The camera zoomed in and enlarged the man's face, it was Lin Jun.
This kind of posts are deleted and posted again, posted and deleted again, and cannot be stopped at all.
As a result, Mr. Lin was also criticized and became the focus of public opinion, and public opinion was in an uproar.
Power is intimidating and might silences people, but across the country, the voices of more than hundreds of millions of netizens have begun to converge, forming a force that cannot be ignored.
【Beast! 】
[Damn it, I thought it was scary that Master Gu killed people with a gun, but now it seems that Lin Jun should be cut into pieces! ]
[It’s fine if we are bullied, but why should our children, our hope for the future, also endure such humiliation? I can’t stand it! ]
[I take back my previous gloating words. Master Gu is simply acting on behalf of heaven. Lin Jun deserves to die, and the Lin family deserves to die even more! ]
