Jiang Ningyu didn't reply rashly, but took a look online first.
On a certain social platform, the tag "Female white-collar worker was deceived and sold to be a bride in rural Yunnan" topped the trending list.
The media that first broke the news broadcast an interview. Although it was mosaic and the sound was processed, familiar people could recognize it at a glance. It was Li Weiwei.
Jiang Ningyu replied "I don't know". Just when she was about to put down her phone, Lu Nan's message came again: "It's her. Xue Kai, you know? Now he is a lawyer in a big law firm. He said he met Li Weiwei
】
She frowned and didn't reply.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Jiang Ningyu was changing the code. When she heard the knock on the door, she thought Lin Xuyue was coming, and she suddenly became happy.
However, there was a man and a woman standing outside the door. The man looked older than forty, and the woman was younger, with press badges hanging on her chest.
"Hello, we are reporters from Civet Daily. Are you friends with Ms. Li Weiwei?"
Jiang Ningyu was a little disappointed, smiled and nodded, "I am."
"Can I have a brief interview with you?" the female reporter asked kindly.
Jiang Ningyu knew that Li Weiwei wanted to expose and exert pressure through the media, so as to catch the culprit as soon as possible and bring him to justice. However, she also knew that some media like to distort facts and use spring and autumn writing techniques to create public opinion and expand influence.
Therefore, although she nodded and said "yes", she did not invite them in and was very cautious about their questions.
Fortunately, the two reporters were very gentle and only asked her to recount how she discovered Li Weiwei and her views on the matter, without asking for any unnecessary details.
"Personally, I just hope to catch the bad guy as soon as possible to prevent other victims from being deceived." Her answer was equally accurate.
Jiang Ningyu thought that after the media interview, her problem would be over. Who knew that in the next two days, different media would come to the door early every day, or ask some gossipy and tricky questions, or imply that she was exaggerating the matter.
... She was so annoyed that she simply went out at seven o'clock on the third day and went to the company for breakfast.
[[Breakfast] Good morning, today is a day full of energy! 】
【So early?[American coffee]】
[Well, my eyelids kept twitching early in the morning, and I came out after I couldn’t sleep...]
Jiang Ningyu didn't tell Lin Xuyue about being blocked by the media. She was willing to tell her, but others might not be willing to listen. After all, she also forced her to kiss and hug her.
However, in the past two days, they talked more and shared some food photos. The desire to share really strengthened the relationship, and she had the illusion that they were back to the past.
…
Due to bugs in the new product, the team held five meetings throughout the day. It was rare to work overtime until 11:30, so Jiang Ningyu ordered late night snacks and walked slowly into the community.
However, while walking on the boulevard of the community, there was a sudden sound of branches and leaves being trampled in the distance. Her hair immediately stood up, as if she was stressed, and she quickly rushed into the building without thinking.
I thought everything would be fine when I got home, but as soon as I got out of the elevator, I found two people sitting cross-legged in front of my house chatting. Judging by their appearance, they were still the reporters who came yesterday.
She was deeply impressed by the two male reporters because they kept asking about some extremely confidential personal matters, and some of the questions were very obscene. She avoided answering and kept asking them more questions. Today they actually blocked the door.
Late at night. Two men. Even if they were reporters, Jiang Ningyu didn't want to deal with them.
The solution was simple, just ask the real estate agent to come and drive him away. But considering Li Weiwei, she felt that it was better not to have an unpleasant conflict with the media. After thinking about it again and again, she decided to sacrifice something, leave quietly, and go to a hotel to spend one night.
When she left the building, she looked around carefully and found nothing unusual, then trotted out of the community. Most of the hotels near the CBD were star-rated hotels. Jiang Ningyu was always willing to spend money on accommodation, so she booked a hotel near the company.
, incidentally changed the delivery address.
The location of the hotel was coincidental, in the skyscraper between her and Lin Xuyue Company. Therefore, when Jiang Ningyu entered the building, she looked around like a thief and didn't see anyone she knew.
I just lowered my head and hurried in - when staying in a hotel in the middle of the night, there is always a feeling of being sneaky and harboring evil intentions.
Check-in went smoothly. Jiang Ningyu asked the guest room for a charger, charged her phone, and went to the bathroom to take a hot bath. It was already an hour later when she came out wrapped in a bath towel.
The robot had delivered the takeout to the door. Lin Xuyue sent her a WeChat message and made a phone call.
The content of the WeChat message was very simple, just asking her "Have you gone home?" Given that the relationship had improved these days, Jiang Ningyu didn't find it strange and she called her back.
Was picked up quickly.
"Hello? Lin Xuyue?" She tentatively opened her mouth without hearing any sound from the other side.
Then a low "hmm" came into his ears, and he asked, "Is the phone battery out of battery?"
"Well, I just took a shower."
"at home?"
Jiang Ningyu originally wanted to agree, but when the words came to her mouth, she felt that his tone sounded strange, so she honestly said, "No, I'm staying in a hotel today."
There was silence for a while, and then he asked, "Which hotel can I go to?"
This question is actually no different from "Are you alone?" It just puts yourself in a lower position and sounds less offensive.
Jiang Ningyu reported the name of the hotel and asked, "Are you coming?"
"I just got off work and wanted to drop something off for you."
Where he was speaking, the background sound of vehicles whizzing by could be heard.
What this means is that it is coming.
She softly replied "Okay" and reminded him, "Pay attention to your safety when crossing the road." Then hung up the phone.
After sending the room number, Jiang Ningyu felt a little awkward - he came to deliver something, so you can't just drive him away after taking it, right? You have to invite someone to come in and sit down, right? You can't do anything even if you sit down.
Sit down and have a chat, right? If you stay up late chatting, wouldn’t it be...
In just a few minutes, she had already imagined a complete action scene.
So he lowered his head and looked at the bathrobe on his body, suddenly loosened the rope and pulled the collar down a bit.
The marks I made last time are already very faded. If I make a few more tonight...
No, no, Jiang Ningyu, what are you thinking about?
It's just a chat, not to seduce him - if it fails, wouldn't it be very shameful and not even a friend?
Jiang Ningyu shuddered, quickly tightened the rope, touched her pounding heart, and tried to calm down.
About five minutes later, someone knocked on the door.
She patted her face, adjusted her expression to a calm one, and then opened the door.
Lin Xuyue was wearing a double-breasted navy blue suit, tall and comfortable, and she was holding a red gift box with the word "hi" in her hand.
