The figure that flashed by just now, was clearly Lu Anqi!
"What's wrong?" Seeing her in a daze, Ji Weiyang frowned and asked. His long arms wrapped around her and took her back into his chest.
Zhan Yan shook her head indifferently, and with a forced smile, she replied, "Nothing much, I think I saw someone I know."
Perhaps, she really was seeing things. She thought that it was just an insignificant matter, so she didn't say anything to make him worry. However, this small negligence had almost become an irreparable mistake in the future.
As the car drove past the supermarket, Zhan Yan said that she wanted to buy something so that Ji Weiyang could go first. He always had an endless amount of official business to attend to, so Zhan Yan didn't want to bother him because of some small, complicated matter.
"What do you need? Give me a list, and I'll get my assistant to take it to the apartment later."
Zhan Yan lowered her head, her face slightly flushed. She was racking her brains to think if there was a female in Ji Weiyang's assistant. After holding in for a long time, she finally spoke.
Then, Ji Weiyang's face changed, and he spoke to the driver in front of him in a suppressed voice, "Stop the car."
As Zhan Yan got off the carriage with the umbrella, she gave Ji Weiyang a light kiss on the cheek before he left.
She strolled around the supermarket leisurely. When she came out, she bought some food in her shopping bag besides the sanitary towel that she wanted to buy.
He thought that Ji Weiyang's car would have already left, he did not expect to be waiting here.
The driver helped Zhan Yan put the things into the trunk of the car, then politely opened the door for her.
Inside the car, Ji Weiyang was holding a computer to look at some information, and seeing that she was sitting inside, he smiled slightly, and asked: "Are you done buying?"
"Hmm, why didn't you leave? Isn't there a meeting in the afternoon? "
Ji Weiyang laughed as he closed his laptop, "Silly girl, it's not good to take a taxi when it's raining.
Zhan Yan lowered her head, but the corner of her mouth slowly raised up, and his smile blossomed like a flower.
The days passed by bit by bit like water, and during this time, Ji Weiyang brought Zhan Yan back to Ji Family 2 times. Ji Bocheng's attitude towards her could not be considered friendly, but it was still considered gentle. Ji Ting was actually quite passionate, pulling Zhan Yan along as he asked all sorts of questions, but he tactfully did not ask about the children's matters.
The days passed very calmly, and the matter of their remarriage was on the agenda. However, just as they were about to remarry, an accident occurred, as if a huge stone had suddenly been tossed onto the calm surface of the water.
In the morning, when Ji Weiyang had just arrived at the company, Yu Mei, the secretary, walked in with a gloomy face. Yu Mei had followed him for many years, but this was the first time she had such a look on her face.
"Director Ji, a video was uploaded on the company's website last night. Although we found it in time and deleted it, it was still clicked by a lot of people. As you know, our web page has a very high click rate.
"What video?" Ji Weiyang frowned and asked, at the same time turning on the computer. Yu Mei had already uploaded the contents of the video to his computer.
Ji Weiyang only read the first line before he closed the notebook with a "peng" sound. His face suddenly turned ashen.
That video was exactly the one that Tang Yu had brutally assaulted Zhan Yan back then, and was then recorded by that bastard Lin Shaosheng. Although Tang Yu did not really do anything to Zhan Yan, but this sort of thing was publicly announced on the company's website, that meant that Zhan Yan's reputation had been ruined.
"Did you find out who did it?" After a moment of silence, Ji Weiyang asked coldly.
"The terminal that was uploaded is the computer of a staff member from the Reserve Department. That person has already been fired." Yu Mei explained.
Ji Weiyang snorted. He had even found a substitute for the dead man, looks like he had been planning for a long time. The Reserve Department was the place where most of the company's staff moved in. It was not an important department, and it did not involve secrets or video surveillance. Almost everyone had access to the computers in the Reserve Department.
The first person he thought of was Li Xiaoqian, because other than Li Xiaoqian, no one else in the company would target Zhan Yan. Of course, it did not mean that there were outsiders who snuck in, or that the other women in the company were secretly in love with him, since the charisma of CEO Ji was obvious to all.
Since he couldn't find the person who uploaded the video, he had to start from the source of the video. This video was first recorded by Lin Shaosheng. He had had a copy of it before, but it had long been destroyed. But after Lin Shaosheng died, all of his subordinates scattered like birds and beasts. If someone wanted to extort money from him using this thing, they should have asked him for it or Zhan Yan asking for money, it was not directly spread out. It was very clear that this person's goal was purely to destroy Zhan Yan.
It was naturally impossible for Li Xiaoqian to come into contact with someone who knew of Lin Shaosheng's capabilities, but she was able to do so. After all, Lu Anqi was the one who raped Zhan Yan.
Ji Weiyang dialed the number of the mental hospital and got to know that Lu Anqi had been locked in the mental hospital the entire time. She did not leave and did not contact anyone who was outside either.
Of course, the next plan was not to catch the culprit quickly, but to prevent this video from flowing out. Also, Zhan Yan must not know, if she knew, it would be strange if it did not collapse.
Ji Weiyang ordered the computer technology department to search for the internet 24 hours a day. They must not let this video be broadcast on any website or in the media, they must not let the severity of this matter continue to increase.
In the CEO's office, Ji Weiyang leaned on the boss's chair tiredly, not thinking much.
"Still worried about this? The lighting of the video was not that good either. It was originally rather blurry. Furthermore, other than the few people in the Secretary's Office, not many people within the company know of Zhan Yan. I will warn them to keep their mouths shut, things are not as bad as you think. " Tang Feng sat on the sofa as he smoked.
While Ji Weiyang's gaze was serene and cold, he did not speak, and did not even pay attention to him.
Tang Feng crossed his legs, sighed with his fingertips, and continued, "You don't need to be monitored 24 hours a day by the Technology Department, no matter how brave that person is, he wouldn't dare issue another one."
"I hope he sends it again." Ji Weiyang said coldly. As long as that person made another move, he would have the chance to capture him.
Tang Feng shrugged his shoulders. They all knew in their hearts that unless that person was crazy, he would never make a move again. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly die. If he dared to touch Ji Weiyang's woman, he would definitely kill him.
"Who do you think it is?"
"Lu Anqi, or Li Xiaoqian, or both of you." Ji Weiyang leaned on the soft chair, and looked at the ceiling above him. He couldn't think of a third person besides these two, but these were only guesses. He had no proof.
"But Lu Anqi has never left the mental hospital. We were also secretly monitoring him, and the two of them did not come into contact." Tang Feng said helplessly, this matter was too f * cking strange, just thinking about it gave him a headache.
"Is Zhan Yan being watched? This matter cannot be revealed to Zhan Yan. " Ji Weiyang instructed again.
"Don't worry, I've already given the orders." Even if Ji Weiyang did not say it, Tang Feng knew what to do. This matter was obviously because of Zhan Yan, how could Zhan Yan's weak little heart endure such a blow?
The phone on the table suddenly rang, Ji Weiyang pressed the answer button, and Lu Ruping's urgent cry sounded out from the other side of the phone, "Wei Yang, quickly come over, Zhan Yan has locked herself in her apartment, no matter how we called for her, she did not open the door."
Ji Weiyang panicked, his intuition telling him that Zhan Yan's sudden abnormality must have something to do with the video.
It looked like they were one step too late after all.
After Ji Weiyang received the call, he immediately drove to the apartment on Jin Wei Road. Outside the apartment, Wei Jingnian and Lu Ruping anxiously stood outside.
"Dad, Mom, what's going on?"
Lu Ruping wiped away her tears and said, "I don't know what happened either. In the morning, I accompanied Jing Nian to train. When I returned, the door was closed and the servants had been chased out by Zhan Yan. No one is sure what exactly happened, the servant said that Zhan Yan suddenly started to lose control.
"Dad, mom, don't worry, it'll be fine. You guys go back first, I'll stay and talk to her." Ji Weiyang tried his best to sound relaxed, but the solemn expression on his face was not at all comforting.
"But …" Lu Ruping still wanted to say something, but was cut off by Wei Jingnian.
"Let's leave first. Staying here won't help, instead we'll cause more trouble."
After they left, Ji Weiyang immediately found someone to pick the lock. Other than that, he had no other methods or measures.
After the door was forced open, the house was unusually quiet, he entered alone, only to see the living room was in a mess, Zhan Yan's phone was smashed onto the ground, the phone's shell split apart, and even the battery dropped out.
Ji Weiyang picked up the phone from the ground, and after putting the battery back into the device, it actually turned it on again. Then, he found that video in Zhan Yan's WeChat.
Heh, it really is impossible to guard against, all-pervasive. He had ordered people to turn off the Internet in his apartment, and that no one was allowed to enter. He did not expect that the other party would actually send a video to Zhan Yan's phone.
The door to Zhan Yan's bedroom was closed tight. Ji Weiyang walked over and lightly knocked a few times. He knew that Zhan Yan was in the room right now. Yan Yan, I know you are inside.
She knocked for a long time, but there was no sound from inside. Ji Weiyang was a little uneasy, he was not sure if Zhan Yan did not want to open the door, or if she had fainted. But no matter which one, it was definitely not a good phenomenon.
"Yan Yan Yan, are you listening to me? If you don't want to see me, at least give me a reply and let me know that you are still well. Yan Yan, do you know how worried I am about you? "
After a moment of silence, a faint voice finally came from within the room, "Don't worry about me. Go, leave, okay?"
Ji Weiyang heaved a sigh of relief with great difficulty. At least, Zhan Yan still had her own will, which meant that the situation wasn't as bad as he had imagined.
He did not dare to barge in, so he could only stand outside the door to accompany her, chattering non-stop with her. However, inside the room, Zhan Yan was surprisingly quiet without making a single sound.
"Yanyan, things aren't as bad as you think. You must believe me, I have already contained the situation. This matter will not affect your future."
"Yan Yan, actually, I knew about this video a long time ago. When you were kidnapped, Lin Shaosheng sent this video to me and threatened me. Even I know what happened after that. I saw you threaten Tang Yu with your life to protect your innocence, and I also saw you tie Tang Yu up. Yan Yan, do you know how touched I was when I heard you say to him: "Even if I die, I won't be poisoned."
"It is not for what purpose that love becomes love. There's always one person in this world who can't be removed once he's in your heart. Yan Yan Yan, this is what you said. "But, do you know that you are also the person deeply embedded in my heart, the person that I will never be able to remove?"
Ji Weiyang had been talking the entire time, but Zhan Yan, who was in the room, did not respond at all. It was as if, from start to finish, she was singing a solo performance by herself.
After standing for an unknown period of time, Ji Weiyang felt very tired, very tired. His tall body was leaning against the wall beside the door, his head leaning against the ice-cold wall.
Unknowingly, the clock on the wall pointed in the direction of seven o'clock. The sky gradually darkened.
"Yan Yan, the sky is about to turn dark. Are you hungry?"
"…"
"Yan Yan, I'm hungry. Can you make me something to eat?"
"…"
"Yan Yan, what should we do? I suddenly want to hug you well."
"…"
It was always silence that answered him. Immediately after, even Ji Weiyang's heart sank.
It was still sunny during the day, but at night, it suddenly became gloomy. Rain began to fall outside the window. The rain was getting heavier and heavier as it hit the ground.
For a moment, the sky and the earth seemed to be covered by a storm. The sound of rain seemed to drown out all the sounds in the world, and even Ji Weiyang's voice gradually disappeared into the sound of rain.
Ji Weiyang did not speak again, he talked to himself for the whole afternoon, he already did not have the strength to continue talking, and his throat was continuously dry and aching. He moved his body, and stuck his back to the door, as if this way, he could take a step further with Zhan Yan.
He stared blankly at the tightly shut door, her heart sinking bit by bit. He wished so much that Zhan Yan could open the door. They had walked through so many trials and hardships together, even experienced death and rebirth, so what more was a ravine that they could not pass through.
As long as she was willing to give him confidence and strength, holding her hand would allow him to pass through any difficulties.
Ji Weiyang did not speak again. He used his long fingers to lightly knock on the door three times, and then, three more times. He remembered reading a story about a man who was dumb enough not to speak, but he had never given up his love for his wife.
Waking up in the morning, he used his fingertip and lightly tapped his wife's forehead three times. It meant that I love you.
After coming back from work each day, he knocked on the door three times, still saying: I love you.
Day after day, until the man reached the end of his life. At the man's funeral, when his wife was grieving, the lights in the room went on and on, on and on, three times, as if the man were saying to his wife: I love you.
Ji Weiyang's throat was extremely sore, he did not want to make any more sounds, yet his fingertips continued to lightly knock on the door, over and over again, without end, as if he was saying to Zhan Yan: I love you.
He hoped that she could hear him.
Outside the window, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared along with it. The lightning pierced through the sky and cut through the dark curtain of night. The incandescent light flashed on the walls of the room, causing one's eyes to hurt. After the lightning came the rumbling of thunder, causing one's eardrums to buzz. It was so loud that it caused one's heart to tremble.
What was worse was that the lights in the house suddenly went out. Outside the window, it was pitch-black. The whole neighborhood had fallen into darkness. There was actually no electricity.
The lightning flashed on the walls like a ghost, and his heart tightened a little. Even a normal man would feel a twinge of fear in such a bad weather, let alone a delicate little woman who remembered Professor Johnson's remark that a heart attack should be paid special attention to in a thunderstorm.
Thinking to this point, Ji Weiyang could not sit still and wait for death. He propped himself up from the ground and used all his strength to knock Zhan Yan's door open.
At this moment, the bedroom was pitch black. He went to the window, but didn't find anything wrong with Zhan Yan. The big bed was actually empty.
"Yan Yan, Yan Yan Yan!" He kept calling out in a hoarse voice.
Borrowing the light of the lightning, he finally saw Zhan Yan. At that time, she was curled up in a corner on the ground, her hands tightly covering her lips as she trembled, suppressing her tears.
