Chapter 53: Driving the Dog into the Poor Alley
A banquet with 100 banquets, and the most extravagant wedding banquet has become a joke. Wei Xiaodong stood on the stage as if he had been drained of his soul, looking at the guests in the hall who had left like birds and beasts.
In the world of interests, he Wei Xiaodong has lost his due use value, so no one cares about his life or death, at this moment, everyone is more concerned about whether the gift money he gave out can be recovered, and they rushed to the welcome desk outside the hall.
Ye Yanran took one last look at the man on the stage, and was about to turn around and leave with Su Yan and the others.
"Ye Yanran, are you satisfied now?" Wei Xiaodong's angry voice came from behind him.
She paused for a moment, not wanting to pay attention to it, but finally turned around and looked faintly at the man who had been together for two years and was now a stranger.
"It's all your own choice, isn't it?" Originally, they were going to get married, who had a good life and didn't have a good time, playing with splitting legs?
Wei Xiaodong jumped down from the stage, and Ji Yufan subconsciously stopped in front of Ye Yanran.
This small detail saw Wei Xiaodong's eyes, it was a naked demonstration, and his eyes flashed with a cold light, "Ye Yanran, why are you so ruthless? Where am I sorry for you? You have to rob the agency, you have to make trouble at the wedding, do you have to ruin me to be willing?"
Ye Yanran sneered, who was the person who used agency power to coerce her and pour dirty water on her to kill her? She was just seeking a little justice for herself, how could she become a heinous person? She didn't bother to fight back with such a scumbag logic.
Su Yan couldn't stand it for a long time, and took a step forward and said sharply: "Wei Xiaodong, this is all your own fault, today this is my sister and I gave it back to you, what are you dissatisfied with coming to me! Let me know to bully Yanran in the future, you see how I crush you." β
Wei Xiaodong looked at Lu Li beside Su Yan, and endured a breath of anger, Su Yan was a woman he had long been displeasing to his eyes, relying on the protection of Lu Li's big Buddha, she was pampered and domineering, and never put others in her eyes. Wait, sooner or later, there will be a day when she is tired of being dumped, and then see how she will be cross?
He scolded people in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Yanran, let's go. Su Yan let out this evil breath, and he didn't want to entangle with him here anymore, so he pulled Ye Yanran out. Ji Yufan, Ah Bao and others followed closely behind.
Lu Li walked last, and when he left the banquet hall, he glanced back at Wei Xiaodong, his eyes full of warning. When driving a dog into a poor alley, you must always be on guard, so as not to give it a chance to fight back.
Su Yan will bring people to the wedding, which is expected by Ye Yanran, if something doesn't come out, it won't be Su Yan. But Fang Yi was taken away by the police, what was going on? Ye Yanran was a little stunned, until she was dragged to the night to celebrate with heavy makeup, she still hadn't fully figured out the situation.
Before raising a glass to celebrate, Ye Yanran asked, "Can any of you tell me what's going on?"
Su Yan said with a smile: "To put it simply, the Avengers will avenge you again, what do you mean by not not retributing, the time has not come?" After deploying for so long, I finally cleaned up the two sluts Wei Xiaodong and Fang Yi. Don't be too impressed, just settle the bill in a while!"
Ye Yanran didn't know how long they had been preparing for Su Yan for today's scene, but she recognized the video at the wedding, which was the one that Fang Yi put in the USB flash drive when he provoked her, and only Ji Yufan knew about it. How did he get involved?
She turned to look at him, "When did you join them?" β
Su Yan put his hand on Ji Yufan's shoulder with a grin, "Why are you so fierce to my little handsome guy, he is the hero of this operation, and he can't do it without him! β
Ye Yanran squinted her eyes and stared at Ji Yufan, "When will you keep a backup of the video?" When Ji Yufan saw the video, they had only known each other for a few days, and he actually thought about keeping his back hand, this recognition made her a little awkward.
Ji Yufan scratched his head and said, "I didn't back it up, I used your USB flash drive, which I took from your desk two days ago." β
Ye Yanran glanced at him, "Don't ask yourself, is that called taking?" She is always demanding of him, although his intentions are good, she doesn't like the feeling that he has hidden from herself.
Su Yan couldn't look at it, "Hey, what are you doing? Isn't everyone doing this for your good? When you say that, don't you scold us all?"
Ye Yanran realized that she had overreacted, she raised her glass and said, "Thank you for doing so much for me, I won't say much if you're polite, we're all in the wine, I'll do it first." β
After a glass of wine, the atmosphere became warm, and everyone talked about the situation just now, how embarrassed the groom was, how shocked the guests were, and whether it would become a hot topic of news tomorrow, and then began to gossip about whether the guests had taken back their gift money.
The more people talked, the happier they became, Ye Yanran didn't think about revenge, but at this moment, she also felt that she had this bad breath, she was refreshed, and it was good.
A strange said: "Without Ye Shan's investment, it is estimated that Wei Xiaodong's company will have to go bankrupt in less than a week." Coupled with today's wedding scandal, he can't stay in J City. β
Ah Bao said: "It's better to get away, lest he trouble Yanran again, you look at his appearance today, he is simply a mad dog." β
"He dares, see if I can't kill him!" Su Yan said with a grin.
Lu Li touched her head dotingly, this girl's unafraid temperament was spoiled by him. Su Yan dodged in disgust and glared back at him.
Yi Xian took a sip of wine and said leisurely: "Death is light. "Living to suffer is the greatest punishment for a person. However, no one paid much attention to her extraneous voices, only Ah Wei looked at her deeply.
Then Ah Bao reported: "Actually, Fang Yi and Wei Xiaodong were not officially registered, and the wedding was just a scene for outsiders to see, but in the end, it was smashed." β
In this regard, Ye Yanran did not find it strange, such a treatment is very in line with Wei Xiaodong's character of being unprofitable and unable to afford to be early. The strangest thing about her now is how Fang Yi could be taken away by the police, and what happened to buying murder and injuring people?
Su Yan's eyes widened and said, "No, you, as a victim, still ask us what's going on?"
Only then did Ye Yanran understand that this murder and wounding case referred to the last time she was attacked on a rainy night, she never thought that Fang Yi would hate her so much, so hated that she had to spend money to find someone to rape her. Auchan is really right, she is indeed too blind and soft-hearted, and everyone hates her so much that she wants to die, she still thinks about forgiving people every day, and there is no need to worry about them.
Ah Wei patted Ji Yufan on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to this little brother's reminder, I thought of investigating Fang Yi's bank transaction records, and this investigation really found that Fang Yi and the taxi driver had more than one large amount of money exchanges, and the last time was after he confessed." Of course, thanks to Brother Lu's help, these evidences were accepted by the police, and Fang Yi's arrest was so timely. β
You must know that there are many ways to check the evidence, that is, the means are a bit out of bounds, and it is difficult for the illegally obtained evidence to be accepted by the police, which requires Lu Li's strong background as a backing.
Ye Yanran raised her glass again, "Everyone has worked hard for me! It is the greatest luck in my life to be able to meet these good friends of yours, without your help, I may still be a fool who keeps the number of people in the dark and gives money." Thank you!"
Ah Wei later added that Fang Yi's plan at that time was to find someone to rape Ye Yanran, take nude photos, post them on the Internet, and completely ruin her. It is also because of this that everyone made up their minds to release her erotic video at today's wedding banquet.
Ye Yanran didn't know what to say except for repeatedly expressing her gratitude. Although she has encountered many such and such bad things along the way, every time she ends up with friends who come out to help, speaking of which, she can be regarded as a fool and a fool, and a good retribution.
Because of sincerity, although she has been hurt, she has also gained a lot of sincere friends, isn't that enough?
But what surprised her the most was that Ji Yufan played a key role in the whole thing, how much did he do for her silently behind the scenes?
She raised her eyes to look at him, and was crashing into his bright and deep eyes, he winked at her, a pair of beautiful eyes would discharge, and Ye Yanran's heart trembled. She avoided her gaze in a panic, for fear that Su Yan and the others would see the clues.
Thinking of the conversation with Su Yan a few days ago, at that time, she said loudly that it was impossible with Ji Yufan, and now if she knew that she had fallen so soon, there would be a lot of unserious words to ridicule her.
Ji Yufan understood her thoughts and always kept a distance from her.
After drinking a few glasses, everyone went their separate ways, Yi Xian pulled Ah Bao, Su Yan and Ah Wei to guess the dice, and was about to avenge the last revenge, Ji Yufan and Lu Li were playing darts.
Ye Yanran took two glasses of wine to Shao Jie's side and handed one of them to him.
"I heard Ah Bao say that Shi Qing's interview was completed so smoothly thanks to your help, thank you. β
Yes, at first Ah Bao found Shi Qing, but Shi Qing did not take this interview, a designer like Ye Yanran who has not yet made a name for himself grabbed a lot of money in the industry, and a big-name reporter like Shi Qing did not bother to interview her at all. Especially when her scandal had just subsided, giving people a feeling of eagerness to clear her name made Shi Qing feel a little more disdainful.
At this time, it was Shao Jie who took the road to make Shi Qing finally agree to take the interview, but she still had a certain emotion, which led to all kinds of difficulties in the subsequent interview. Ah Bao had no choice but to ask Shao Jie for help again, Shao Jie saved the interview with a phone call, and Ye Yanran successfully appeared in "Yaju".
Shao Jie didn't want to take credit for these things, and he didn't want Ye Yanran to know that what he wanted was not her thanks, so he never let Ah Bao say it.
Ah Bao took such a big credit for nothing, and she was already uneasy, Ye Yanran continued to thank her, and she finally couldn't stand telling Ye Yanran what happened.
And she thinks that this matter can be regarded as Shao Jie's plus point in Ye Yanran's heart, isn't it a loss to be a behind-the-scenes hero?
Ye Yanran has never had a chance to formally thank Shao Jie after she found out, and today is the right time.
Shao Jie smiled faintly, "I just happened to have some friendship with Shi Qing, you don't have to pay attention to the matter of talking." In the end, the manuscript can be adopted, in addition to Shi Qing's writing skills, the most important thing is that your ideas move people's hearts. And to be able to cover two, it's completely your design outstanding. β
"Anyway, it's because of you and I that I got this opportunity, otherwise I wouldn't have this way even if I wanted to send the design to "Yaju". It is even less likely that there will be a chance to win narrowly in the company's competition. In short, it is thanks to you and I that I did not join the unemployed army in J City, thank you!"
Ye Yanran took the wine glass and touched it on Shao Jie's wine glass, and then drank it all.
Shao Jie followed with the wine in the glass, raised his eyebrows and said, "Since my role is so important, you won't want to send me away with such a glass of wine, right?"
"Then two glasses!" As she spoke, Ye Yanran picked up the wine bottle and filled it up again for the two of them.
Shao Jie joked: "You are really generous. β
Ye Yanran raised her wine glass, "If you have love, I will invite you to dinner another day." β
Shao Jie gently touched the wine glass with her, "We have a word." β
After two glasses of wine, Shao Jie fiddled with the wine glass in his hand and pondered for a moment: "I don't know if I should tell you if I have a piece of news, in fact, it can be regarded as a coincidence that you can win this time! I heard that due to the intervention of an overseas organization, the magazine was suddenly stopped before it was finally put into print, and only then did it have the version that is now published. As for what the original version looked like and what the purpose of that agency was, no one knows. β
Ye Yanran was stunned for a moment, she suddenly had a feeling of victory, "The blue paper is out, there must be many people who have seen the original version, it is impossible that no one knows!" She wondered if Cheng Xin's design was the original cover.
"It should have been given a gag order.,The final draft of this special issue has been discussed between the head office and several high-level executives in the company.,There are several changes in the middle.,There are not many people who know the inside story.,It's easy to block the news.γ
To be honest, this special issue has gone through too many battles and trade-offs, and has long lost its due professionalism, but I think the current cover is the best choice, which is more in line with the theme of the 10th anniversary special issue. β
Ye Yanran silently looked at the wine glass in her hand, she is not a person who is very serious about winning or losing, but she likes fairness, and now this always makes her feel that Cheng Xin was going to be on the cover, but she was squeezed down.
This made the little joy of victory in her heart no longer lustre.
"Actually, you don't have to think too much, this result is not made by you, this contest between you is not reasonable from the beginning, there are too many factors that determine victory or defeat, and excellent design accounts for a very small proportion of this. So no matter who wins, it can only be regarded as lucky, which just caters to the interests of "Yaju" at the moment. On the contrary, I think that your work can be on the second page is a proof of strength. β
Ye Yanran tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled bitterly, "You are really comforting." β
In the other corner of the room, Ji Yufan had already been pulled by Su Yan to play billiards, leaving Lu Li aside to drink alone.
By this time, he had already made several mistakes in a row.
Su Yan squinted at him with both hands on the club, "I said brother, can we still play this ball?"
"Fight, why don't you fight, it's your turn!" Ji Yufan said as he spoke, his eyes glancing in the direction of Ye Yanran and Shao Jie from time to time.
Su Yan was secretly amused, and after playing two more shots, seeing that Ji Yufan was sitting on the side and didn't care about what she was doing, her eyes kept staring at Ye Yanran, and she simply threw all the balls on the table into the hole, and then she clapped her hands and walked up to him and said, "Boy, you lost." β
Ji Yufan reluctantly retracted his gaze and looked at the empty table, "Then are you still fighting?"
Su Yan leaned over, put an elbow on his shoulder, and whispered with his lips infinitely close to his ear: "Brother, are you serious about my family Yanran?"
Ji Yufan looked at Ye Yanran, who had been whispering to Shao Jie over there, and said, "I think she's very good." β
"Is that real?" Su Yan squinted his eyes and blew into his ears, "Do you want me to help you with two tricks?"
Ji Yufan stood up and distanced himself from Su Yan, "No need." β
Su Yan's eyes turned, and he smiled and said, "If you don't need it, you don't need it, what are you hiding?"
"I'm not used to being too intimate with women other than my own girlfriend. β
Su Yan smiled playfully, tugged at his sleeve and said, "Don't you don't have a girlfriend yet, what are you afraid of?"
Ji Yufan frowned, he didn't like Su Yan's expression so explicitly, what did it mean to be successful, but Ye Yanran didn't want him to make their relationship public, so he didn't need to talk to her so much.
He glanced at Lu Li, whose eyes were starting to fire not far away, and said, "I don't have a girlfriend, but you have a boyfriend, he will misunderstand." β
Su Yan glanced at Lu Li, smiled and grabbed Ji Yufan's arm, leaned his head over and said, "Then if you don't have him, isn't it okay?"
Ji Yufan stroked her hand and took a step back, "You always use this method to stimulate and test him, it's very naΓ―ve." And I don't like you, whether you have a boyfriend or not, it's the same. β
Su Yanxing's eyes widened, "What did you say?"
No one has ever said that she is naΓ―ve, she is intent on stimulating Lu Li, so what? The scandal between him and the little star has made headlines, if it weren't for the fact that he needed such a weighty person to smash Wei Xiaodong's wedding today, did he think he would have a chance to sit here?
What else do you don't like her? She Su Yan hasn't seen a man who doesn't care about her!
Ji Yufan leaned over her ear, "You heard it very clearly just now, didn't you?" He sprayed the heat on her ear like she had just done, hooked his lips and walked away.
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, picked up the wine glass on the side and took a big sip. Damn! Sure enough, it's a little wolf cub, and he even teased her with his backhand!
Ji Yufan walked over to Ye Yanran with a smile and found a vacant seat to sit down, "Brother Shao, what are you talking about?
Shao Jie looked at Ji Yufan, turned his head and said to Ye Yanran with a smile: "You, an assistant, are workaholics like you, tonight is to celebrate, let's not talk about work, only drink." β
Ji Yufan took advantage of the situation to raise his glass and said, "Then I will ask Brother Shao to take care of me as a newcomer at work!"
Shao Jie laughed, "You kid will be good!" He turned to Ye Yanran and said, "Those masters under me have been coaxed by this kid, and now at the scene, his words are better than mine." β
Ye Yanran said with a smile: "He's just so smart, you have to guide him on the scene in the future." β
Everyone joked for a while, and Ah Wei was the first to get up and say goodbye, saying that there was still work to be done. Today, his interest was not high all night, and he looked preoccupied, and it was inconvenient for everyone to stay.
Soon, Yi Xian also said that she wanted to go back, Ye Yanran didn't worry about her alone, so she called Ji Yufan, and the three of them left together. Before leaving, Ye Yanran entrusted Ah Bao to Shao Jie, and quietly told Su Yan, who was drinking on the side, not to always be angry with Lu Li.
Su Yan whispered in her ear and retorted: "You don't care about my business, let's take care of your little wolf cub! Don't accidentally be eaten in the wolf's den!"
After everyone left, in the private room of the bar, only Su Yan and Lu Li remained, Su Yan glanced at Lu Li disdainfully, turned around and walked out.
Lu Li grabbed her arm, pulled the person into his arms, gritted his teeth and roared: "It's been a whole night, and you don't forget to release the electricity even for such a little fart, it should be enough." How long are you going to make trouble?"
"Sixth master, you take yourself too seriously, don't you? Your eye sees me messing with you? I'm tired of eating old bacon, I want to change my mouth, can't I taste the little fresh meat?"
"Su Yan, my patience is limited, you'd better give me moderation!"
"Otherwise?" Su Yan stared at him stubbornly with a pair of phoenix eyes, "Break up with me?" do you think I'm still afraid of this now?"
Lu Li's grip on her tightened abruptly, and he said fiercely: "When did I say I broke up?" Su Yan, don't even think about running away from me in your life!"
"Then when are you going to marry me?" I ask you when?" Su Yan's voice suddenly raised, sharp and poignant, "When are you going to say it?"
Lu Li froze suddenly, and his eyes were rolling in the dark.
Su Yan sneered, broke away from Lu Li's hand, turned around and rushed out.
Ten years of entanglement, she is really enough, and it's time to wake up from her dreams.
β¦β¦
Yi Xian went back in the same car with Ye Yanran and Ji Yufan, she looked at Ji Yufan, who was sitting in front of her chatting with the substitute driver, and lowered her voice and said in Ye Yanran's ear: "That monster, how much do you know?"
"What's wrong?" Ye Yanran knew that Yi Xian had never been a gossip person, and there must be a reason for her to ask.
"I bumped into him twice in a bar with a guy and was very intimate. β
"You mean...... No!" Ye Yanran intuitively felt that Ah Wei and Chen Fei were not the same kind of people.
"Yes or no, I don't know. But I know that man, Li Ming, is also a lawyer. It's just the scum of our lawyer's circle, working as a military advisor for the largest underground community in J City. He's so close to someone from that background, I think you should be careful. β
Ye Yanran didn't know how to digest this news for a while, she had always regarded Ah Wei as an ordinary Hong Kong businessman doing business in J City, which was considered a few means, but how could it be related to the community?
Tonight, she really received too much information that was difficult to digest, and she was a little flawless.
Yi Xian saw that she hadn't spoken, and added: "I don't mean anything else, just to remind you to pay attention, and you must be on guard." β
"I understand, but I don't think at least he has no ill will towards me. And everyone is just ordinary friends, and there won't be too many intersections in the future, don't worry!"
Ye Yanran understood what Yi Xian meant, she was afraid that she would accidentally become a scumbag harvester again, her luck in the past few years has been too "good", first Chen Fei concealed his orientation, and then Wei Xiaodong cheated before marriage, what kind of scum has been met.
Yi Xian pursed her lips and looked out the window, no longer speaking, as a friend, she had already said what she should say.
The next day, Ye Yanran received a call from Officer Li, who was in charge of her case, asking her to go to the police station to re-record a confession.
Outside the police station, she met Ah Wei, he saw her bow slightly, and the gentleman made a "please" gesture.
"You also received a call from Officer Li, asking you to come over and supplement the information? Actually, I really don't think it's necessary, how can we know what Fang Yi thinks?" she whispered to Ah Wei.
Ah Wei smiled faintly, and the smile had a vague meaning.
"Roach, over here. A sharp male voice said unceremoniously.
At this time, Ye Yanran realized that the several policemen following behind Ah Wei were not simply on the same road. And one of them unceremoniously separated Ah Wei from Ye Yanran with his hand.
Ah Wei gave Ye Yanran a reassuring look, hooked her lips, and walked to the other end of the aisle under the escort of several policemen.
Yes. Escort, this is how Ye Yanran felt at the moment, she remembered Yi Xian's words last night, and she was faintly worried in her heart.
At this time, Officer Li happened to come out to greet her, "Miss Ye, please come here." β
Ye Yanran looked at the back of Ah Wei being taken away and asked in a low voice, "Officer Li, has something happened to my friend?"
Officer Li also looked in that direction, shook his head and said, "I don't know, those people should be from the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau, we are different departments." β
"Economic crime ......" Ye Yanran looked thoughtfully at the monster who was about to disappear at the end of the corridor, frowning slightly.
"Miss Ye, don't be idle anymore. Your side please. Officer Lee's words were like a kind reminder, but also like a warning.
Ye Yanran felt that he must know something, but he refused to say it. Thinking about Yi Xian's words last night, could it be that Ah Wei really participated in the criminal activities of the underground society? Even at this moment, it was difficult for Ye Yanran to hook Ah Qi with the criminals.
