Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Working as Hard as a Horse or Dog
At this very moment, Lin Yunxiang had no idea that he was facing a massive crisis.
All he knew was that this time, he was going to make a fortune.
However, half an hour had passed, and there was still no movement online.
His post had disappeared into the void, like a stone sinking into the sea.
He asked in the group chat: [Won’t you guys share and build the hype? Do you just want the money without doing anything?]
Soon, someone in the group replied.
Friend number one: [Mr. Xiang, I’ve shared it.]
Friend number two: [I’ve shared it too.]
Friend number three: [+1]
“…”
Lin Yunxiang frowned, things shouldn’t be like this, should they?
Half an hour had passed, why was there no reaction online at all?
Just as he was puzzled, the door behind him was suddenly kicked open.
“Bang!”
The loud noise startled Lin Yunxiang so much he almost fell off his chair.
He turned around and saw someone in black clothes with a face full of confusion and fear.
“Who are you guys?” Lin Yunxiang demanded: “You’ll be responsible under the law for barging in like this. Also, you’ve broken my door; you’ll have to pay for it!”
The leader was Fei Yang.
Fei Yang coldly looked at him: “Lin Yunxiang, right?”
Lin Yunxiang, hearing his name called out, was stunned and said: “You know me?”
Hearing this, Fei Yang couldn’t be bothered to deal with him anymore.
Fei Yang said with a stern face: “Ah Hao, take him away!”
Ah Hao replied: “Yes, Fei Yang.”
Now Lin Yunxiang was truly panicked.
He quickly stood up from his chair and grabbed the ashtray on the side.
“Don’t come any closer!”
He aimed the ashtray at Ah Hao, frantically saying: “If you dare touch me, I’m calling the police!”
Ah Hao looked at him indifferently and took a step forward.
Lin Yunxiang retreated in horror.
Seizing the opportunity, Ah Hao moved like lightning, grabbed Lin Yunxiang’s wrist and twisted it hard.
Lin Yunxiang winced in pain, and with a “thud,” the ashtray fell to the floor.
“Ah… it hurts… big brother, go easy, it hurts, hurts, hurts…”
Lin Yunxiang patted Ah Hao’s hand with his other hand, pleading: “Big brother, let’s talk this over. I’ll do whatever you want, but can we do it without violence?”
…
An hour later.
Lin Yunxiang was brought to Moon Gift Villa.
“Holy shit! Isn’t this house a bit too massive?”
This must be the most luxurious, biggest house he had ever seen in his life.
Ah Hao pushed him forward, “Hurry up and move, no more nonsense!”
Fei Yang took him to the backyard.
Su He was sitting in the gazebo in the yard at this time.
A person and a dog were running back and forth on the grass not far away, having a blast.
Fei Yang called out to Su He’s back: “Young Madam, the person has been brought here.”
Upon hearing this, Su He turned around.
When Lin Yunxiang saw Su He, he was taken aback. After being dazzled at first glance, he felt that her face looked familiar.
He stared at Su He for two seconds, and several images flashed through his mind.
It was at that moment he realized he might have provoked someone he shouldn’t have.
The woman before him was none other than the Jiang Family’s Young Madam; he was in no position to provoke her!
Su He watched him with a chilling gaze, her voice light and breezy as she began, “The post online, were you the one behind its release?”
Lin Yunxiang felt a pang of alarm. The post online?
Could it be that girl is related to the Jiang Family?
In an instant, his face grew unsightly.
He finally understood why the post he had released online hadn’t stirred any reaction.
He answered, trembling, “It was me, no, not me, I was just taking money to ward off disasters for others. This morning, an armed woman found me, gave me this information, and asked me to expose it online. I… I was blinded by the money and agreed…”
Su He sneered, “What a fine way to be blinded by money! Do you realize that your greed has ruined a girl’s entire life?”
Lin Yunxiang nervously swallowed, “I… know…”
Su He frowned, “Knowing that, you still did such a despicable thing, aren’t you afraid of retribution!”
Her voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
That suffocating pressure left Lin Yunxiang so overwhelmed he dared not even breathe deeply.
Of course, he was scared, and now retribution had indeed come…
If he knew this matter was related to the Jiang Family from the start, no amount of money would have tempted him!
This was the classic case of having money but no life to spend it.
Scared out of his wits, he knelt on the ground.
“Mrs. Jiang, it really wasn’t intentional, I beg of you to forgive my ignorance, please spare me.”
He lay there on the ground, shivering intensely.
“…”
Su He asked, “Do you know who the woman that gave you the information is?”
Lin Yunxiang shook his head, “I don’t know, I haven’t even seen her true face, she was too well-covered when she met with me.”
“Where did you meet her?”
“In a coffee shop on Cloud View Road called Mist Cafe.”
Upon hearing this, Su He glanced at Fei Yang.
Fei Yang promptly said, “Subordinate will have someone check it out right away.”
After Fei Yang finished speaking, he turned and left.
Lin Yunxiang carefully raised his head to look at Su He and inquired, “Then, Mrs. Jiang, does this mean I can leave now?”
Su He said with a faint smile, “Of course not.”
Lin Yunxiang hesitated, “…But I really have nothing to do with this, I can return the money, I don’t want it.”
Su He remarked, “What are you afraid of? I haven’t had anyone do anything to you. I need you to do something for me, and naturally, you’ll keep the money.”
Lin Yunxiang hurriedly shook his head, “No, no, no, I don’t want the money, Mrs. Jiang, whatever you need me to do, please command, I am willing to serve you.”
He wouldn’t dare take that money if he were given a hundred chances.
Su He stated, “I need you to continue posting.”
Lin Yunxiang was utterly confused, “Huh?”
But Su He followed with, “However, the content needs to be changed, and someone will contact you about what it should be changed to.”
Lin Yunxiang nodded vigorously, “Alright, alright.”
Then, he asked again, “What should I do if that woman calls me?”
Su He narrowed her eyes slightly, “What, you don’t have the ability to handle even this?”
Lin Yunxiang swallowed hard, “I do, I do, I understand what to do.”
Su He looked at Ah Hao, “Send him back.”
Ah Hao: “Yes, Young Madam.”
…
Twenty minutes later.
Fei Yang returned.
“Young Madam, we checked the surrounding surveillance. That woman the kid talked about, she never took off her mask or sunglasses throughout. But we checked the car she used, and it belongs to the Wu Family.”
As Su He listened to his report, she wasn’t surprised at all; it was within her expectations.
Fei Yang suddenly remembered something, “Right, Young Madam, there’s one more thing, this morning, the Wu Family people went to the hospital to look for Miss An Mi, but fortunately, Mr. Wan was there, so the Wu Family didn’t cause any trouble.”
“Okay, I got it.”
She then said, “Since the Wu Family people love exposing so much, send the collected information on Wu Xiaomin to Lin Yunxiang and let him craft a good copy.”
Fei Yang asked, “Do we need to tell him any precautions?”
Su He: “No need, he knows what to do.”
Fei Yang: “Okay.”
…
City First Hospital.
“Mimi, you should head back soon, it’s almost eight o’clock. Don’t go back too late,” Yang Mu said to An Mi.
Yang Jie looked at her and asked, “Is Mr. Wan coming to pick you up? Why don’t you give him a call to come get you, so I can rest easy.”
An Mi blinked at Yang Jie: “He’s probably busy; let’s not bother Mr. Wan.”
Yang Jie instantly understood; she almost forgot that Yang Mu was still here.
“Oh, is that so? I remember Su He telling you to seek out Mr. Wan if you ever need anything, so I just instinctively suggested you ask him,” Yang Jie made up an excuse on the spot.
At that moment, Yang Mu said, “Mimi, then why don’t you let Uncle Yang drive you back?”
An Mi replied, “No need for the trouble, Aunt Yang. I’m staying at my sister’s place now; someone is coming to pick me up.”
Yang Mu: “That’s fine then, as long as someone’s picking you up.”
An Mi: “Aunt Yang, Xiao Jie, I’ll head back first then. You two should rest early.”
Yang Mu stood up, ready to see her out.
An Mi said, “Aunt Yang, no need to see me out. Just stay here with Xiao Jie. It’s only a short walk.”
Seeing this, Yang Mu could only agree.
Yang Jie said, “Be safe on your way back, and send me a message when you get home.”
An Mi made an “okay” gesture and then turned to leave.
As she passed the nurse’s station, she overheard a conversation.
She stopped and leaned against the wall to listen.
“I think the patient in bed 13 has been recovering quite well lately, and she always has a smile on her face. When we first admitted her, I was worried she might do something foolish, given the huge injustice she suffered. She’s just a twenty-one-year-old girl, and to be ruined like that—if it were me, I don’t think I could handle it like she has.”
“I agree. All I can say is this girl is incredibly strong inside. Admirable. The damned ones are those men who can’t control their lower halves!”
“Enough already, get back to work. The chief doesn’t want us discussing this matter here, so stop talking about it to avoid getting scolded later!”
“…”
The content of their conversation kept replaying in An Mi’s head.
Isn’t the patient in bed 13 Yang Jie?
In an instant, An Mi felt as if her limbs were locked in place by something, unable to move.
She was petrified!
A hint of surprise and disbelief flickered in her eyes.
No, it couldn’t be!
She recalled everything everyone had said to her, including Yang Jie’s behavior these past few days, which didn’t give anything away.
All of a sudden, An Mi felt as if a string in her heart had snapped.
She didn’t even know how she managed to leave the hospital.
The person who came to pick her up was Fei Yue.
Fei Yue waved at her when she came out.
Although An Mi clearly looked in her direction, no matter how much Fei Yue waived, An Mi just didn’t respond.
So, Fei Yue had to get out of the car.
“Miss An Mi?”
Fei Yue walked up, tapped her shoulder, and called out to her.
Then, she frowned slightly, as An Mi had no reaction to her approach.
“What’s wrong?” Fei Yue asked with concern.
An Mi turned around, her eyes somewhat vacant and lifeless as she looked at her.
She furrowed her brows.
Fei Yue, always attentive, quickly realized something was off with An Mi.
“Are you feeling unwell?” she asked.
Upon hearing this, An Mi shook her head: “I’m fine, why is it you who came to pick me up?”
Fei Yue: “Fei Xu was tied up with something and couldn’t make it, so I came instead.”
An Mi: “Oh, okay. Thank you for the trouble then.”
On the way back to Moon Gift Villa, she never spoke again.
Even when she returned, she went straight to her room.
Even when Su Yimo called her, she acted as if she hadn’t heard a thing.
The little guy looked up at Fei Yue, his voice milky as he asked, “Sister Fei Yue, what’s wrong with my aunt? Why is she ignoring me?”
This was the first time An Mi had ignored Su Yimo.
Fei Yue shook her head and said, “I don’t know either.”
Su Baobao pondered for two seconds and said, “No, I have to tell Mommy that something is off with my aunt.”
After saying this, the little guy ran towards the study on the second floor.
Seeing this, Fei Yue hurriedly followed.
She was worried he would run too fast and fall down.
“Little Master, please walk slower.”
At the entrance of the second-floor study, Fei Yue kindly reminded, “Little Master, should we knock on the door first?”
But as soon as she finished speaking, Su Baobao had already turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.
“Click!”
Inside the study, Su He was being pulled to sit on someone’s lap.
She had just sat down, and he was just about to kiss her when the door was pushed open from the outside.
A small figure rushed in hastily.
“Mommy~”
The couple looked at the little guy in front of them: “…”
Su He didn’t seem to mind, but Jiang Yan’s face looked a bit sour.
“Su Yimo, haven’t I taught you that you should knock before entering a door in the future?” the man said to the little guy.
However, Su Baobao simply glanced at him and said half-heartedly, “Oh, baby knows, baby will be careful next time.”
With Mommy there, Daddy couldn’t do anything to him anyway.
Fei Yue stood at the door, without entering.
Su He reached out and pulled him over, asking, “Do you need Mommy for something?”
Su Baobao’s round eyes looked at her and said, “Mommy, something’s wrong. My aunt came back, but she won’t talk to me. I called her and she didn’t respond, she just went straight to her room.”
Su He said, “Maybe aunty is tired and didn’t hear you. She didn’t mean to ignore you.”
She thought Su Baobao was upset because An Mi had ignored him.
Su Baobao shook his head and said, “No, Mommy, I think there’s something wrong with my aunt. She never treats me like this, even if she’s tired, she would still answer me. And sister Fei Yue also thinks there’s something wrong with my aunt.”
Two minutes later.
Fei Yue stood in the study, briefly repeating what had happened at the hospital entrance.
Su He sat on the sofa, one hand around her chest, while the thumb and forefinger of her other hand rubbed her chin.
Hearing what Fei Yue said, it did sound unusual.
These past few days, An Mi had been coming back from the hospital happy, and this was the first time she had acted like this.
There wasn’t any disturbance from the Wu Family at the hospital this morning, so it probably had nothing to do with this.
After a few seconds of silence, she said, “Fei Yue, go and find out what happened to her at the hospital this afternoon.”
Fei Yue replied, “Yes, Young Madam.”
Then, she left the study.
Jiang Yan, seeing Su He frowning, said, “Are you worried An Mi found out about that matter?”
Su He said, “Although I’ve already notified the hospital, I’m still worried about the possibility of an accident.”
Especially since An Mi has been going to the hospital every day.
After sitting for a while, she got ready to stand up, “I should still go see her.”
But the next second, Jiang Yan stopped her: “Don’t go now, it won’t be too late to ask tomorrow. She ran back to her room as soon as she got home, clearly not wanting to see anyone. Even if you go now, it might backfire, considering how sensitive she has been recently. If you’re worried she’ll do something rash, I will have someone watch over her tonight; you can rest easy.”
His reasoning was sound.
Su He had no choice but to listen to him.
…
During the quiet of the night, a post silently appeared on the internet.
