Chapter 010 The paparazzi with no bottom line 10 The scolding you receive now will be paid back in the future.
He looked at the numbers jumping on the screen and already had a guess in his mind.
What’s going on? Chi Zhou should have warned them today, so why did he still come to them?
Jian Ziyan ignored the call at first, but the caller was persistent and called again and again in the middle of the night, showing great patience.
Even though they were at such a long distance, Jian Ziyan seemed to feel that man's anger gradually building up to its peak with the incoming calls.
Finally he sighed and picked up the phone helplessly.
"Jiang Zhiyuan?" he said.
"Is it because you feel guilty that you didn't answer the phone after such a long time?"
Jiang Zhiyuan's cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
Jian Ziyan asked: "Did Shen Xiuran tell you how to contact me?"
Jiang Zhiyuan was silent.
"Didn't he tell you not to get involved in this matter anymore?" Jian Ziyan turned to the contact interface with Chi Zhou and fixed his eyes on the three words "Leave it to me" in Chi Zhou's reply.
"Jian Ziyan, you have to understand one thing. We are the victims now. Do we need the consent of the perpetrator before we can seek justice?"
Hearing this, Jian Ziyan knew that for Jiang Zhiyuan, as long as the previous problem was not resolved, they would not stop participating in this matter.
By the way, after investigating him for such a long time, he still had some understanding of Jiang Zhiyuan's temper.
This is very troublesome.
Hearing the silence from his side, Jiang Zhiyuan tapped the table with his fingers, a hidden look flashed across his eyes, and his voice became a little deeper.
"What I said on the rooftop still counts. As long as you confess everything to the public, I will withdraw the lawsuit. Even if you can't be a paparazzi in the future, at least you won't be sued. This is your best choice." His voice suddenly became hoarse. "Come to see me in person and I'll tell you what to do."
Jian Ziyan was a little surprised. Did Jiang Zhiyuan want him to meet him?
He opened his mouth, but still no sound came out.
Jiang Zhiyuan's tone became stern: "Do you think you can be a coward by hiding behind those people? When you wrote those false reports, did you ever think that there would be a day when you would be condemned by everyone? This is all retribution for your actions."
There was still silence on the other end of the phone; even the breathing was barely audible.
Jiang Zhiyuan picked up the phone and looked at it. It still showed that the call was in progress.
He actually dared to remain silent deliberately? Was this a tacit agreement?
Jiang Zhiyuan's tone became even colder, and there was even mockery in his anger: "Are you a rat who should live in a stinking ditch? Why don't you use your despicable means to control public opinion? Oh, because you have nothing to say, you can only hide and dare not show up.
But I have to warn you, don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you have Weng Jianbai's support."
Jian Ziyan finally spoke, but his tone was a little strange.
"Weng Jianbai?"
"I'll give you one last chance." Jiang Zhiyuan ignored him. "If you show up now and explain everything clearly, I can apply for a sentence reduction for you. But if you resist stubbornly and get caught, no one will be able to save you."
Jian Ziyan's chest was filled with complex emotions. Although he told himself again and again that being misunderstood would be the consequence he should bear for doing this kind of work, he was only human after all. Facing these repeated misunderstandings and hatred, his tone finally showed a hint of emotion.
"You don't believe what I said on the rooftop at all?" he asked. "Even if I said that those reports were all true, you still insisted that I was slandering you?"
"Shut up!" Jiang Zhiyuan shouted, accompanied by the sound of a chair falling to the ground. "How dare you ask me to believe you? I have asked my father many times whether those reports are true. Would he lie to me?"
Jian Ziyan's breathing was soft and trembling slightly, as if he was trying hard to hide his emotions.
After a while, he regained his composure when he spoke again.
"Since you came to me with the answer, what else do you expect me to give you?"
This time it was Jiang Zhiyuan's turn to be silent. His breathing became noticeably heavier, like an angry lion.
"The Jiang family has a century-old foundation. Your father's generation may be able to have a clear conscience, but...what about your grandfather?" Jian Ziyan no longer wanted to continue this conversation. "Just investigate your family's affairs. Don't get involved in my affairs."
With one last word of advice, he cut the call off.
At that moment, it seemed as if some strength was drained away from him. He swayed slightly and put his hands on the table.
【Jian Ziyan: "Xiao Jiuer, how much did my brother Chi hear at the door?"
419: "Ninety percent, starting from when Jiang Zhiyuan scolded you."
Jian Ziyan: "Great. Tell me quickly, has Weng Jianbai disappointed me, your father?"
419: "...No, he has successfully hacked into Jiang Zhiyuan's phone. If he contacts you again, your address will be completely exposed to him."
If Chi Zhou wasn't still watching at the door, Jian Ziyan would have wanted to do a "yeah" right there and then. 】
Looking at the young man's slender back sitting silently at the table, his shoulders bearing countless burdens so shaky, Chi Zhou finally couldn't bear it anymore, he pushed open the half-open door and walked in!
As if he didn't expect someone to come in suddenly, a look of panic flashed across Jian Ziyan's face. He reflexively glanced at Chi Zhou, then quickly turned his face away to the window.
Sensing the rejection emanating from Jian Ziyan, Chi Zhou subconsciously stopped at the door.
Although he no longer moved forward, his eyes were filled with heartache as he looked at Jian Ziyan.
In his impression, Jian Ziyan has always been strong, gentle, and calm. He can laugh off fame and fortune, and remain strong in the face of difficulties and dangers.
But in the look that Jian Ziyan gave me just now, there was sadness and hesitation.
It was as if... he finally couldn't bear the burden anymore and let out every bit of the endless depression in his heart.
Even if it's only a tiny bit, it's enough to shock people.
Chi Zhou's heart was violently gripped.
He didn't come in just now, but the environment was very quiet, and Jiang Zhiyuan's voice was very
It came out very clearly and he heard it all.
He knew that Jiang Zhiyuan was one of the contacts of Jian Ziyan in this mission. In order to stop Weng Jianbai from annexing the Jiang family, Jian Ziyan had to expose some scandals of the Jiang family and the Shen family to divert Weng Jianbai's attention.
If it weren't for Jian Ziyan, they would have been swallowed up by Weng Jianbai long ago. How could there be the Jiang family today?
Chi Zhou's anger was growing rapidly, accompanied by a hint of murderous intent.
How could those people view Jian Ziyan like this? Why should such a strong and gentle person be hurt like this!
Jian Ziyan quickly adjusted his mood, and when he turned around again, his habitual gentle smile was on his face.
"Chizhou, why are you here so late?"
No matter how much anger and murderous intent he had, after Jian Ziyan's call, it seemed to turn into soft bubbles, making Chi Zhou feel light-headed.
Chi Zhou was silent for a moment, carefully suppressed all negative emotions, and walked in.
"I wanted to come and tell Sir about the progress of the search," he said hoarsely.
"Hmm? Okay." Jian Ziyan was a little confused, because Chi Zhou's responsibilities were higher than his, and these matters did not need to be reported to him.
But it would be good to know more, so he listened carefully.
After finishing the serious business, looking at Jian Ziyan's face as he thought seriously, Chi Zhou couldn't help but feel the pain in his heart.
"Sir, you don't have to pay attention to what that man just said."
Jian Ziyan was startled and blurted out: "Did you hear everything?"
Chi Zhou opened his mouth, and the tall man lowered his head uneasily in front of Jian Ziyan: "I'm sorry."
He didn't want to hide Jian Ziyan.
Jian Ziyan digested the news and smiled bitterly: "It's okay, I don't care, and you don't have to care either."
My husband is still so gentle. Even if he has been hurt so much, his first thought is to comfort others.
The anger in Chi Zhou's heart surged up again, and he turned around impulsively: "I will go and talk to Jiang Zhiyuan and the others in person!"
"Stop!" Jian Ziyan said softly.
Chi Zhou stopped right where he was, his heated brain causing his temples to throb.
Jian Ziyan said helplessly: "When did you start to act on impulse? Is now the time to deal with these things? Let them be. With their conditions, they should be able to investigate this far."
"It's not about what they found out." Chi Zhou's voice was filled with suppressed anger, "They slandered you!"
"Slandering me, so what? They are just talking nonsense without knowing the truth, how can they really kill me?" Jian Ziyan said jokingly, "I'm not angry, why are you so angry, come back quickly."
Chi Zhou didn't know for a moment whether he should be happy about Jian Ziyan's intimate tone towards him, or feel sorry for him for being forced to be open-minded and magnanimous.
He remembered that a few years ago, when Jian Ziyan had just graduated, he was also sharp and righteous.
But later he put on the cloak of darkness and completely integrated into the darkness in order to let the light shine on a wider land. After seeing too much, his temper gradually restrained and became the calm and gentle one he is now.
He is just a young man of 23 years old.
Seeing that Chi Zhou was no longer impulsive, but refused to look back, leaving him with only a cold, tall back, Jian Ziyan's eyes dimmed and he deliberately spoke in a self-deprecating tone.
"Actually, he is right. In a way, I did work for Weng Jianbai."
Chi Zhou turned around suddenly: "That's because you have to do it for the mission..."
"I did it, no matter what the reason is." Jian Ziyan said calmly, "The facts are just as he said, and just as what is said on the Internet. Even if I have countless reasons, I can't deceive my conscience."
Chi Zhou's breathing became difficult: "Sir..."
He should have thought of it earlier. The public opinion on the Internet was so heated, and there were so many discussion headlines with Jian Ziyan's name on them. How could Jian Ziyan not see it?
He had never hated himself so much for being so tongue-tied that he couldn't even utter a word of comfort.
What he hated even more was that he didn't even have the qualifications or position to give Jian Ziyan a hug.
He could only look at Jian Ziyan's eyes, which were like the deep night outside the window, hiding countless unspeakable things.
