Xu Zhaozhao wasn't surprised; Gu Yulin had already mentioned it in the three-person "two-to-one targeted poverty alleviation" group chat.
A little fish: I'm going to see my mom later.
Hush: [Kissing loudly. gif]
Piglet: Hmm.
It's obvious that Gu Yulin sent this message to Gu Qingyan, otherwise the bodyguards would have stopped him.
He walked up to Xu Zhaozhao, raised the small table next to the hospital bed, and placed the chicken soup on the table.
Gu Yulin said in a serious tone, "I saw in TV dramas that when they were hospitalized, they drank chicken soup while it was hot."
Saying the most unconvincing things in the coolest tone.
Soap operas can still be somewhat effective.
Xu Zhaozhao was indeed feeling unwell from the bland and watery food at the hospital.
Who would understand? She only had a minor facial abrasion, and the nurses treated her like a patient in the ICU.
Gu Yulin took out a small bowl and scooped a bowlful for Xu Zhaozhao, who gulped it all down.
"Ha~"
After finishing his drink, he sighed, "My own son is still the best!"
"That's right."
Gu Yulin answered with a raised tone, his chin unconsciously tilting upwards.
He's much more useful than that scoundrel.
You can't even cook chicken soup for your mom, what a piece of trash!
After silently watching Xu Zhaozhao finish the chicken soup, Gu Yulin lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought.
Then she looked up and said, "Mom, I found some information about Jiang Ting..."
He didn't want these bad news to affect Xu Zhaozhao's mood, but he also felt that Xu Zhaozhao should be eager to know.
"Really!"
Sure enough, Xu Zhaozhao sat up abruptly in bed, looking at Gu Yulin with excitement in her eyes.
Gu Yulin didn't answer her. He turned around, took out his iPad from his small backpack, unlocked it, and handed it to Xu Zhaozhao.
She took it and examined it carefully.
The first photo is taken in the countryside, where a mini version of Jiang Ting is playing hopscotch in an open space, looking free and radiant.
The second photo is taken in the hospital, where little Jiang Ting stands in front of the emergency room, her face filled with unconcealed panic and fear.
In the third photo, Jiang Ting looks almost the same as he does now, but a bit more fleshy. He's following behind Xiao Jiejie, wearing a black suit that doesn't suit his age, and looks... like a bodyguard.
The fourth one is a surveillance video, dated just two days ago.
Xu Zhaozhao opened it with trembling hands.
Jiang Ting, who appeared rather small compared to the adults, was dragged in, and four adult men dressed in similar black suits punched and kicked him.
"Serves you right for failing to protect the young lady; now we're all being punished!"
"If this trashy show weren't only for bringing kids, would you even have a chance to get this job? You're a useless and incompetent jerk!"
"A ten-year-old kid trying to steal my job? If you're broke, you should go to hell with your useless mother!"
...
This kind of verbal abuse lasted for almost the entire beating, a full ten minutes.
Finally, someone made a phone call to them, and they left with a disdainful look on their faces.
Jiang Ting, who was covered in injuries, lay on the ground, barely able to move. If it weren't for the high-definition camera that could clearly see his faint breathing, one would almost think he was dead.
Three photos and a video almost entirely showcase Jiang Ting's life up to this point.
The more carefree life was before the age of seven, the darker it became afterward. Child labor was forbidden, so he could only stay by Xiao Jiejie's side as a bodyguard, posing as a relative's child.
To put it nicely, he's a bodyguard; to put it bluntly, working for someone like Xiao Jiejie means becoming this young lady's daily punching bag.
After reading all this, Xu Zhaozhao didn't shed a tear; her heart was filled with anger.
I opened my phone again and checked the updates from the Beijing police.
What a coincidence, I just posted an update four minutes ago.
Beijing Police (verified): The fire at the Beijing Welfare Home has been investigated. Xiao Moujie, without permission, lit fabric while smoking indoors, causing the fire. The entire incident was committed by Xiao Moujie alone. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Xiao Moujie has compensated for all losses (i.e., the construction of a new special teaching building for the welfare home). Xiao Moujie will be released immediately.
[Damn it, this woman is crazy. If you don't like it, don't go in. Smoking is some kind of brain-dead behavior!]
No wonder this young lady looked so unwell when she came out of her room! It must have been when she was smoking that the child tried to snatch it (the child likes light), and in her panic, she left before it was extinguished. The child picked up the "light" and put it back on the bed, and then…
[Holy crap! The lady upstairs is absolutely brilliant! She's ripped away this princess's last shred of dignity!]
[Seriously? No way, they're not even detained? They can just pay some money and be gone? I don't believe this princess didn't use her "money power"! [Sweat]]
[Sigh, it's all because there were no "No Smoking" signs posted in the courtyard, and Xiao Jiejie took advantage of that loophole. It's truly disheartening.]
...
Xu Zhaozhao was even angrier after learning the truth.
Smoking in a baby's room is one thing, but what do you mean by leaving without putting it out?
He said to Gu Yulin, "Baby, send me that video. She's definitely not leaving the police station today!"
"Will Mom expose her?"
Before Xu Zhaozhao could answer, Gu Yulin continued, "Use the large size?"
This question was like a bucket of cold water poured over Xu Zhaozhao's head.
If someone were to use their main account to post these revelations, it would undoubtedly be a direct confrontation with the Xiao family and their affiliated smaller families.
Does she really have the ability to fight against this capitalism...?
Before Xu Zhaozhao could come up with a decision, she said, "I'll post it. Don't worry, Mom, they won't be able to find out about me."
Shortly after, a Weibo post went viral and became a trending topic.
Will the world ever get better? @BeijingPolice v Let's arrest this person and interrogate them again. [Image] [Video]
The picture shows Jiang Ting following behind Xiao Jiejie. In that photo, Xiao Jiejie's face is very clear, so she doesn't seem worried about being unrecognizable.
And the video... is the video of Jiang Ting being beaten.
The video alone doesn't connect Xiao Jiejie to the story, but when combined with the photos, it's impossible to deny that Xiao Jiejie is involved.
The moment this revelation was released, Weibo exploded.
[Holy crap!! I want to punch her twice! Can't these child abusers just get off this planet?!]
[Holy crap, what day is it today?! There are so many juicy stories! I'm tired of reading them all!]
[This ID seems so familiar? It seems like this ID was the one who broke the news about the small image incident last time. Where did all this gossip come from...?]
What happened to Jiang Ting's mother? What happened to Jiang Ting's mother? What's wrong with this world...?
...
After the topic gained traction, many people went to comment on the Weibo post just made by the Beijing police.
[@BeijingPolice are back with something! Wake up, bro!]
[@BeijingPolicev @BeijingPolicev Don't rush, really don't rush, that little princess can't be released yet!]
[@BeijingPolice v Brother, is this your Xiao Moujie? [Winking emoji]]
It's hard not to notice.
Less than half an hour after the announcement was released, the official account commented on the Weibo post titled "Will the world get better?"
Beijing Police (v): Received! Thank you! [Salute]
