Chapter 87 Yu Xiaoying
Yu Xiaoying is an ordinary person, but compared to ordinary people, her life is not ordinary.
She was born in Kowloon Walled City, which was a lawless area in Hong Kong for a long time. There, she saw a lot of crime and death since she was a child.
Kowloon Walled City is not big, only 0.026 square kilometers, but before it was demolished, there were more than 50,000 permanent residents. Most of these more than 50,000 people had an inglorious past, or were still wandering in the gray area until it was demolished, or were simply gang members.
And those who wandered in the gray area and were called bad boys, many of them were born in Kowloon Walled City like Yu Xiaoying and grew up there.
An eagle cannot fly out of a bird's nest. It is also difficult for people born in the Kowloon Walled City to leave. Yu Xiaoying understood this truth at a very young age. As she grew up, this cognition became more and more deeply rooted.
Many of her childhood friends and classmates actively or passively degenerated in the process of growing up. The men became bastards and the women engaged in the flesh trade and could not see any future.
After seeing the first female classmate forced to become a prostitute, Yu Xiaoying was in panic for a long time. She was afraid that she would follow in her footsteps.
Fortunately, she was very lucky. Her parents were poor but attached great importance to education. No, it should be said that most of the poor workers in the Walled City attached great importance to education.
Although it was difficult, they still hoped that their children could get out, so they would find ways to send their children out of the Walled City to go to school.
As the best student in the family, Yu Xiaoying got this opportunity.
Yu Xiaoying studied all the way to high school and had the opportunity to go to college, but her father passed away on the eve of the college entrance examination. The family lost an important labor force, and her mother's income alone could not support her to continue studying.
After finishing high school and getting her diploma, Yu Xiaoying went to work.
Fortunately, there were not many high school students at that time, and Yu Xiaoying worked very hard, and soon found a job as a typist in a trading company.
After six months in the company, she had a broader vision and felt that sales salaries were higher, so she applied for a transfer to the sales department. She had a low point when she first entered the new department, but the growth environment created her character of not admitting defeat, and she soon made achievements, and her salary increased several times.
She was finally able to take her elderly mother out of the Walled City, becoming one of the few eagles to fly out of the Walled City.
In the third year after she took her mother out, she met her current husband. His conditions were actually average, his appearance was ordinary, and his income was not as high as hers, but he had a harmonious family and did not mind that she was born in the Walled City and brought her elderly mother with her.
After two years of dating, they entered the palace of marriage. The following year after marriage, they had a son, and the third year they paid for the house.
Because she herself could be said to have left the Walled City by studying, Yu Xiaoying has always paid attention to her children's studies. However, her son was quite obedient when he was young, but he became more and more rebellious as he grew up. He did not listen in class, and every door had a red light. Later, he even skipped classes and fooled around with the bad boys outside.
Yu Xiaoying grew up in the Walled City and had seen many people who had gone astray. She was very worried that her son would become such a person in the future, so she became more and more strict with him.
On that afternoon five years ago, she received a call from the school teacher while she was at work, and learned that her son had skipped classes again.
She was very angry, and she said goodbye to her assistant and left the company. She drove to the game hall where her son often went to look for him, and did not find him until after eight o'clock in the evening.
After bringing him home, a fierce quarrel broke out between mother and son.
In the end, her son slammed the door and walked out. When she heard the sound, she was even more furious. She opened the door and shouted outside: "Go away! Don't come back if you have the guts!"
Less than ten minutes after shouting, she regretted it and went out with her husband to look for him.
But they did not find him.
It was not until the next morning that they received a call from the police and received the news that their son had been hit and killed.
Yu Xiaoying regretted it.
She cried and beat herself until she was unconscious and was taken back by her husband.
When she woke up again, she finally accepted the fact that her son was hit and killed. She began to want to know the truth, so she went to the police station to ask who the perpetrator was, but she did not get an answer because the perpetrator fled.
Yu Xiaoying could not accept this result. She began to go to the police station frequently, urging the police in charge of the case to find the perpetrator as soon as possible.
It is not known whether her urging was effective or the police happened to find out something. On the third day after receiving the news of her son's death, she heard a name - Feng Can.
According to the police investigation, Feng Can was racing on Tai Mo Shan that day, and about half an hour before the accident, a camera captured him getting off the highway. From the highway intersection to his home, the road where the car accident occurred is a must-go place.
But during the interrogation, Feng Can said that after he got off the highway, he remembered that his parents had told him the day before that they would go to Shatin Villa for a weekend vacation, so he went directly to Shatin Villa to save trouble.
Because he was driving at a low speed, he was not captured by the camera, but his parents, the domestic servants and the people from the housekeeping company could prove that he had arrived at the villa the night before.
Therefore, it is not true that he had to take the route home after the car accident.
Although Feng Can did not produce a strong alibi, the police had no evidence to prove that he was there, so after the time of the interrogation, Feng Can was acquitted.
Yu Xiaoying could not accept this result.
She thought, how could it be such a coincidence? The camera captured Feng Can getting off the highway, but he said that he changed his mind and went to Shatin Villa, and coincidentally, he was not captured by the camera.
However, she went to the police station to protest several times, but she did not get a satisfactory result. She tried to expose the matter to the newspaper, but it was like rain falling into the sea, without causing any waves.
At this time, Feng Can also went abroad.
After receiving this news, Yu Xiaoying's husband was silent for a whole night. The next day, he told her to forget it. Even if the person who caused the accident was really Feng Can, they would definitely not be able to beat him given the difference in status between the two families.
Instead of indulging in the pain of losing their son, they might as well have another child while they were still young.
Yu Xiaoying was stunned.
She always knew that her husband was a man with no ambition and no temper.
But she grew up in the Walled City and had seen many incompetent but bad-tempered men who made money by selling their wives' bodies and beat people up at will. She had also seen many ambitious men who went astray and spent half their lives in violence.
So from the beginning, she decided to find a mediocre man who could be unambitious and incompetent, but had to have a good temper and would not be too ambitious to disturb her life, which had finally settled down.
However, Yu Xiaoying did not expect that the man she had carefully selected would still not lose his temper even when facing the death of his son.
Less than three months after his son's sudden death, he was so calm, or rather, so cruel, that he discussed with her about having another child.
Yu Xiaoying quarreled with him.
During the argument, he also spoke out his true thoughts. He loudly accused her: "If you hadn't been forcing Ajie, would he have become more and more rebellious? If you hadn't told him not to come back in the future, would he have been hanging around outside at night? It's you! You killed our son!"
When she was stunned, he hugged her again and said, "Aying, don't you understand? Whether Ajie was killed by Feng Can or not, we can't get justice. Those rich people, who move at will, "You can crush us to death with your fingers. They don't care about you now because they think it's useless no matter how much you make trouble! If one day, you really make a big fuss, not to mention that Ajie can't come back, I'm afraid both of us will not survive!"
He looked at her and pleaded, "Give it up! Forget Ajie, let's have another child and continue to live a stable life, isn't it good?"
Yu Xiaoying always thought that her husband was a mediocre person, incompetent and not smart enough, and inferior to her in all aspects.
At that moment, she realized that he was actually much smarter than her. He always knew how to assess the situation, so he was a kind father when his son was around, and he could quickly think of what to do if his son was killed.
Unlike her, when her son was alive, he complained about her dictatorship, and when her son died, her husband said that she could not see the situation clearly and could never make the right choice.
But even if this path was wrong, she was willing to go all the way, because that was the child she had carried for ten months, and she could not let him die unclearly!
In the end, Yu Xiaoying divorced her husband.
In the past five years, she has been investigating the Feng family. Although she has not found any strong evidence, she can basically confirm that Feng Can was the culprit at the time.
On the day she received the news that Feng Can returned to China, Yu Xiaoying sharpened the knife at home all night.
Although she thought her husband was a coward, she had to admit that he was right. Those rich people could crush her to death with just a flick of their fingers. She wanted to expose the truth and seek justice for her son, which was nothing but a fool's dream.
She wanted to avenge her son, and the only thing she could use was the knife in her hand.
But she didn't expect that before she found the chance to kill Feng Can, she received a photo and a strange phone number.
After hesitating for a long time, Yu Xiaoying dialed the number.
The person on the other end of the phone said that he could help her son get justice and asked her if she was willing to cooperate.
Yu Xiaoying knew that even if the other party could make the truth of her son's death public, it might not make Feng Can pay for his blood debt. But she thought that as long as the evil deeds of the perpetrator could be made public, she was willing to put away the knife in her hand for the time being.
She had already survived the first five years, and didn't mind waiting for a few more five years.
...
After one night, the number of reporters waiting outside the villa not only did not decrease, but doubled.
Hong Kong reporters are always tenacious in chasing news. It is common for them to sleep outdoors for half a month to follow a piece of news. Moreover, the weather was good last night, without wind or rain, and there were not many mosquitoes, so it was no problem to wait outside all night.
Of course, not everyone stayed all night. Some newspaper companies arranged two or three reporters to take turns, so while waiting for Wen Yue's response, they would have time to go back to the car and take a nap.
After all, the news that Wen Yue ordered the bodyguard to break Feng Can's leg was too hot.
Among the many second-generation rich in Hong Kong, Wen Yue has a relatively good reputation.
She does not smoke, drink, or have any bad habits. Her marriage has been very stable in the past year. Now she has secured the position of president of Lirong Department Store, which shows that she is very capable.
In the past year, she has exposed crimes and subdued kidnappers with her bare hands, especially women. Many people began to take her as a role model after learning about her past.
For thousands of years, people's favorite plots can be basically summarized into two types: the counterattack of the poor and the fall of the rich from a high place.
Wen Yue's revelations about the affairs of the Zhong and Xu families can get so much gossip value. In addition to those gossips involving criminal cases and challenging the bottom line of ordinary citizens, a small part of the reason is that their philanthropist persona in the past was very successful, so their persona collapsed and more people paid attention to it.
In a fit of rage, she ordered her bodyguard to break someone's leg. This was a personal collapse for Wen Yue. She instantly changed from a decent person who dared to fight against evil forces to a bully.
The reporters couldn't help but talk about this while they were waiting outside.
The reporters who were sent here were basically the elites of various newspaper companies, and as a celebrity in Hong Kong, Wen Yue had naturally dealt with both sides many times.
Many of these reporters felt that there might be some misunderstanding and were reluctant to see her really bully others.
However, there were also reporters who went to the hospital last night to interview Feng Yaozu and his wife, and took pictures of Feng Can with a plaster leg hanging. They felt that you can't judge a person by his appearance. Haven't the Zhong family and the Xu family done enough good things? Haven't they done all kinds of bad things behind the scenes?
Who knows if Wen Yue is the kind of person who says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs?
So the discussion lasted until midnight, but everyone still had their own opinions and could not come to a conclusion. They were even more curious about the reason why Wen Yue had not responded.
As everyone knows, Wen Yue is a very direct person.
The wealthy circle is similar to the entertainment circle. They always have an attitude of neither admitting nor denying true or false news, but Wen Yue is like an outlier in this regard. When there is false news about her, she will always come out to refute it or even ridicule it at the first time.
But the fact that they took advantage of their power to send bodyguards to break Feng Can's legs has been reported in the newspapers all day. When Wen Yue came back last night, she was blocked by some of them, but she never responded.
So, did Wen Yue really take advantage of her power to bully others?
With such confusion, we waited until about eight o'clock the next morning, when the gate of the villa, which had been closed all night, was finally opened from the inside. Reporters, whether they were sleepy or having breakfast, got excited and surrounded the gate with their guns and cannons.
There was no one in the back seat of the first car.
There was no one in the second car either.
It was not until the fourth car drove out that the reporters started to fight. They ran along the car windows and asked, "Ms. Wen! Do you have anything to say about the news about you in yesterday's newspaper?"
"Can you tell me why you asked your bodyguard to cut Feng Can's leg? How did he offend you?"
"If you can't tell me the reason, does it prove that the image you usually show is a fake, and people who offend you need to be careful of your revenge?"
Hearing this, Wen Yue rolled down the car window, looked at the badge of the reporter who was asking questions, and said, "Chen Yi from Hong Kong Entertainment News, right?"
The reporter named Chen Yi was stunned and replied, "It's me."
"If your question is true, then I think you should be careful now." Wen Yue said with a hint of meaning.
Chen Yi's face turned pale, and the reporter who was familiar with him heard the meaning behind her words and relaxed, and asked again: "Then Miss Wen, can you tell us why someone broke Feng Can's leg? How did he offend you?"
"After the news broke, you didn't respond for a long time. Some people said that you felt guilty. Do you have anything to say?"
"I have a lot to say, including how Feng Can offended me, why I had his legs broken, and why I didn't respond," Wen Yue scanned the reporters who squeezed into the front rows, "but I dare say, can you guarantee that these contents can be published in the newspaper?"
A reporter was stunned: "Ms. Wen, what do you mean?"
Wen Yue glanced at the other party's name tag and said, "Didn't someone from your company go to the hospital the night before yesterday? Don't you understand what I mean?"
Most of the reporters who squeezed into the front row had colleagues, or even went to the hospital to interview Feng Yaozu, and wrote reports that were unfavorable to Wen Yue.
They all knew very well how they or their colleagues received the news, and they could be sure or guess that the Feng family had already made arrangements.
In other words, if Wen Yue had Feng Can's legs broken not because she relied on her family background to do whatever she wanted, but because she had sufficient reasons, her clarification might not have been published in the newspaper.
Oh, that's not right, she has a newspaper company under her own name.
If she wants to clarify this matter, she can just give the interview opportunity to the reporters under the company. There is really no need to say anything more about the newspapers that are polite enough not to smear her in the reports they published.
What? You said that the Wen family is the richest family. It is impossible for the editor-in-chief of the newspaper to write nonsense knowing that it will offend Wen Yue?
Please, we are in a society ruled by law now. Even if they write nonsense about the Wen family, what can they do to them? How many of these newspapers, big and small in Hong Kong, have not used the Spring and Autumn style of writing to fabricate the inside story of the wealthy family?
After so many years, aren't these newspaper companies still alive and well? None of these paparazzi have really been retaliated against.
In fact, whether it is a reporter or a paparazzi, as long as they do not touch the core interests of the rich, such as Mr. Zhong hiring murderers, or the Xu family assisting in human trafficking.
As long as you do not find out these things and report some marginal information, the rich will not bother to care about you.
And this is also the reason why the Hong Kong newspaper industry can be so prosperous.
If it is so easy to be retaliated against, who would still be a paparazzi!
Of course, if Wen Yue is willing to spend money to buy them to shut up like Feng Yaozu, they are also willing to give her face.
But now Wen Yue's attitude is very clear. She is not willing to spend money to protect her reputation. So even if she is willing to tell the truth, they may not be able to publish the report after returning to the company. It is even possible that the facts will be distorted to discredit Wen Yue at the request of the leader.
For a while, the reporters blocking the car window quieted down.
Wen Yue didn't say much, just rolled up the window and asked the driver to drive away. This time, no reporter stopped the car.
Although they have seen a lot of darkness in the industry, many of them have forgotten the original intention of becoming a reporter. They have long become old hands and are not surprised by many unspoken rules. But when Wen Yue directly tore off the mask, they all felt a little ashamed in their hearts.
It was this shame that made them embarrassed to ask Wen Yue about the so-called truth.
…
The reporters guarding the gate of the villa thought that Wen Yue would give the interview opportunity to their own reporters and clarify the matter in the newspapers under Dongjiang Newspapers.
Well…Wen Yue did plan to do so at the beginning.
But later she thought about it seriously and felt that if she wanted to mobilize the emotions of Hong Kong citizens and make the Feng family suffer the consequences of their own actions, a few pictures or a few reports full of text descriptions would not be enough. It would be better to broadcast the dashcam video on the TV news channel.
But Feng Yaozu has been spending money to maintain relationships with editors-in-chief of various newspapers for a long time. He has acquaintances in several well-known TV stations in Hong Kong. The night before yesterday, there were reporters from several TV stations who went to the hospital to interview the Feng family.
Regardless of the impact recorded by the dashcam or the photos she gave Yu Xiaoying, the protagonist is Feng Can. Before the exposure triggers a chain reaction, it is difficult for those stakeholders to lose confidence in the Feng family and then report the incident.
Therefore, it is not safe to send the evidence directly to the TV station. What if they send the evidence to Feng Yaozu in return, she will be more passive.
Wen Yue regretted it a little. If she had known this, she should have invested in a TV station, and she would have been in control of both TV and newspapers.
As a shareholder of the TV station, why should she worry that they would not expose the evidence after she sent it to them?
But Wen Yue thought about it again and felt that investing in a TV station was not very necessary.
There are only a few people like Feng Yaozu who would spend time and money to take care of various TV stations and newspapers. The evidence she sent to the TV stations before was basically reported.
In fact, even if Feng Yaozu had taken care of every TV station, Wen Yue could find a program to broadcast the driving record. Where there are people, there is competition, let alone a place like TV stations where competition is fierce.
In the same TV station, Feng Yaozu can basically only maintain a good relationship with one senior executive at the same time.
In this way, there is a breakthrough.
But after learning about what Yu Xiaoying was doing, Wen Yue changed her mind. She thought it would be better to make things a little bigger.
After leaving the villa by car, Wen Yue did not go to Dongjiang Newspapers or Lirong Department Store, but went to a Cantonese restaurant.
Of course it wasn't the Feng's Restaurant. She had a grudge against the Feng family, so she didn't rush to send them business. They went to another chain restaurant. Wen Yue booked a private room in advance and invited Zhuang Shaoyun and a senior
executive of Jade TV to have morning tea. The senior executive's surname was Yang, and her given name was Tong. She was a program producer and is now the deputy director of Jade TV. Although she has been promoted, her main job is still program production, which is also the main reason why Wen Yue asked Zhuang Shaoyun to ask her out.
After the greetings, Wen Yue came straight to the point and asked to be on a talk show on their TV station, and at the same time asked to change the recorded broadcast to a live broadcast.
Yang Tong was slightly stunned, not quite understanding the logic of Wen Yue's words, and asked hesitantly: "You said you wanted to be on our TV station's interview program, but you have requirements?"
No, did our TV station invite you and you made the request?
Well, although their TV station did not invite Wen Yue, but as the most talked-about daughter of a wealthy family in Hong Kong, as long as she is willing, they will definitely let her choose any program under their TV station.
What's more, Wen Yue had just had a fight with the Feng family these two days, and her name is still on the headlines of major newspapers.
Yang Tong can become the deputy director, so her IQ must be not bad. She immediately figured out the reason why Wen Yue expressed her willingness to be on their program at this time.
She could also foresee that the ratings of this program would definitely not be bad.
But changing from recorded broadcast to live broadcast is easy to say, but behind the scenes, the entire program team is in a state of panic, so Yang Tong is a little hesitant. But she didn't hesitate for long, because she heard: "If you agree, I can approve a sponsorship for this program."
Yang Tong's face instantly had a smile on her face, and she said: "Miss Wen, you are willing to appear on our TV station's program. We TV station is very eager to have you. How can we let you spend money!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she asked: "How much is the sponsorship fee?"
Wen Yue reported a number.
Yang Tong said decisively: "No problem, I will tell them the good news when I return to the TV station. If you have any other requests, just ask, I will definitely satisfy you!"
...
After dealing with the deputy director, the rest of the things will be easy. In order to cooperate with Wen Yue, Yang Tong deliberately moved the broadcast time of the program forward by one day and changed it to a live broadcast at 9 o'clock on Friday night.
The guest of the interview is Wen Yue, and there is another mysterious guest Yu Xiaoying.
In order to increase the ratings, Wen Yue specially placed an advertisement in the "Dongjiang Entertainment News" -
Are you still curious about how Feng Can's leg was broken?
Are you still wondering if Wen Yue is a two-faced person?
Then turn on the Jade Channel at 9 o'clock tonight to watch "Interview Appointment"!
