He then called the police. No matter what happened, these people gathering outside his house was illegal.
Zhan Jiayi finally reacted and cried distressfully, "Zhendong, someone is deliberately ruining my reputation. How will I be able to face people in the future?"
Seeing Zhan Jiayi's distress, Xie Zhendong was also furious. He comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll handle it."
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of Feng Rou. This kind of thing could only be done by her.
She had come to his office a few days ago, and they had a huge argument. Besides her, who else could it be?
"Don't be too sad, I'm going to make a call." He signaled the two nannies to look after Zhan Jiayi, then walked into the study and closed the door.
He angrily dialed Feng Rou's number with his phone.
Feng Rou had been spending her days at home focusing on her grandson, taking him out to play.
Seeing the child's innocent smile, she was adjusting her mood. As for what Sasha had said about how to deal with Zhan Jiayi again, she hadn't decided yet.
She didn't want to do anything as harmful as before, but other methods were not effective. She decided it was better to endure for now.
Today, she got up and dressed up, preparing to take her grandson to a children's charity event. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Xie Zhendong's name on her phone's caller ID.
Was the sun rising from the west? Would he contact her proactively?
However, she still held out hope for a miracle and answered.
"Feng Rou! How long are you going to cause trouble? It's endless! You're going too far!" The person on the other end of the phone roared.
Feng Rou was bewildered by his shouting, "What do you mean? How have I gone too far?"
"I've already told you about Zhan Jiayi's past, and I know everything. Why did you still have people post on the internet, making her the target of public criticism, making her attacked online and offline? Are you happy now?"
Feng Rou said, "I've been at home accompanying Jiejie these days, and I've never posted anything."
"Of course, you wouldn't post it yourself. You spent quite a lot of money to hire someone to do it, right?" Xie Zhendong sneered.
"I didn't do it, so I didn't do it! Believe it or not, it's up to you!" Feng Rou was also very angry and hung up first.
Xie Zhendong wished he could smash his phone. Feng Rou had repeatedly crossed his bottom line. After this matter was resolved, he had to take some measures to make Feng Rou stop.
At this moment, an assistant called him and said, "Mr. Xie, there are many posts online now saying that Miss Zhan destroyed other people's families and has always been a mistress. The netizens have been incited, and they are all indignantly doxxing Miss Zhan. That's why so many people found your residence."
"I understand," Xie Zhendong said decisively. "Have the group's public relations team contact major websites to delete the malicious posts and block the accounts of those who intentionally incited them. We must not let the impact of this matter expand further."
"Okay, understood."
Xie Zhendong did not leave the room immediately. He used his own phone to search for these posts about Zhan Jiayi's dark history. Many of them were described as unbearable to look at. The more he read, the angrier he became.
After so many years of marriage, he really didn't know that Feng Rou had such methods and intentions.
It was truly terrifying that the woman he had shared his bed with for most of his life was like this.
He used to think Feng Rou was proud and ignorant, just a spoiled young lady from a wealthy family. If he indulged her a little in their daily interactions, their family would be harmonious.
This time, when he expressed his liking for Zhan Jiayi, did it truly bring out her true nature?
His phone vibrated again. This time it was Zhao Jianhua calling.
Although he was in a very bad mood, he still answered, but he didn't speak.
Zhao Jianhua immediately cried out in injustice, "Mr. Xie, the posts online are definitely not my doing. You must believe me. Now, those netizens are also denouncing me..."
"I know, you don't need to explain." Xie Zhendong interrupted him and asked, "Just handle the matters I've entrusted to you. Don't worry about anything else."
"It's done. Qin Tianyi is now like an ant on a hot pan and has personally gone to find overseas material suppliers." Zhao Jianhua was adept at handling such matters.
With Xie Zhendong backing him up, and in the construction industry he was familiar with, it was too easy to trip up Ao Xiang Group.
It's just that the online posts were also causing him trouble. His two sons didn't know about his affair with another woman outside.
Now, his children were being ridiculed by their classmates at school and couldn't even go to school.
His wife cursed him every day for these matters, calling him undisciplined, which led to everything being posted online.
Now, he was in a frantic state, planning to dismiss all the women he was keeping outside. He was staying in a hotel and hadn't left his room, waiting for the storm to pass.
Xie Zhendong asked with concern, "Qin Tianyi personally going abroad, won't that material supplier change their mind?"
"No, I've already acquired that batch of special materials. If they are to mass-produce it for Qin Tianyi's project, no matter how much Qin Tianyi offers, it will take at least a year of production time," Zhao Jianhua said with great confidence. "Qin Tianyi can't wait that long. Besides, this batch of materials is a high-tech special process, and only this company in the world can produce it."
"That's good." Xie Zhendong was relieved and waited to see Ao Xiang Group's misfortune.
Zhao Jianhua happened to ask, "Mr. Xie, but those building materials are useless if they are kept with me. What do you plan to do with them? Why not destroy them all..."
"Keep them in your group's warehouse for now. When Qin Tianyi can no longer proceed, this project will be mine sooner or later. By then, you'll be able to handle this part, and these materials should be useful."
"Okay, okay." With Xie Zhendong's words, he felt at ease.
His group did not get the project requiring these materials, and he falsified many documents when importing these materials.
If they were to be kept in the warehouse, he was afraid that the customs would eventually find out, and then his group's credit with customs would be ruined, and he wouldn't be able to do import and export business.
"I will handle the posts online. I won't talk to you further."
As soon as Xie Zhendong hung up, he heard a nanny knocking on the door and shouting, "Mr. Xie, something's wrong! Miss Zhan has fainted!"
He immediately opened the door and rushed out. He saw Zhan Jiayi slumped over the table, still holding her phone.
The phone screen displayed those malicious and abusive comments.
Xie Zhendong said angrily, "I told you to watch her. I meant for you to stop her from looking at her phone!"
"We tried to stop her, but Miss Zhan insisted on using her phone to go online. We couldn't stop her..."
"Stop the nonsense and call an ambulance quickly!" Xie Zhendong hugged Zhan Jiayi and forcefully pinched her philtrum.
The nanny immediately called for an ambulance.
Zhan Jiayi grunted in pain, slowly opened her eyes, and was still tearfully in distress.
Seeing that she had recovered, Xie Zhendong helped her to sit on the sofa and then looked out the window. He saw that the police had arrived at the scene and were asking the gathered people to leave.
