As soon as this report came out, it quickly attracted widespread attention in society. It was the first time for many people to know the existence of this profession. It was the first time for them to know that there was such a group in the world.
The media also smelled "traffic" from this incident, so many people looked for people who used to work in the same industry, and their stories were published one after another. The day after Lin Shuyue's report was sent out, the trend had spread to other provinces and had a tendency to spread outward.
On the fourth day after the report was released, the matter had spread to the Internet, and people from all walks of life were discussing it, but this was not the end, it was just the beginning.
Lin Shuyue subsequently did several follow-up reports, which received a strong response.
On this day in late October, a congress was held in the capital. The chairperson of the Women's Federation of Guangdong Province showed everyone the domestic violence data they had investigated and began to propose domestic violence legislation.
The data silenced the representatives present.
The meeting lasted for four days. During these four days, the representatives had a heated discussion on domestic violence legislation, and most of them believed that domestic violence legislation was necessary.
Lin Shuyue and others laughed when they saw this report.
They all know that domestic violence is always a common problem in today's society. Many people even choose to swallow their anger in silence or keep their family disgrace to themselves for various reasons when they suffer domestic violence. They also choose not to take action or call the police because the perpetrator of domestic violence is the financial pillar of the family.
But the existence of this law at least gives some people who want to resist a legal weapon to protect themselves. This law is also a straw that pulls them back.
On the second day after the meeting, Lin Shuyue went to court. The case of mutual assistance in murder between Yang Ning, Ren Xianying and Zhu Zhu was opened today.
Lin Shuyue came with Yang Ning's mother Li Jincao. Yang Ning and the other two had short hair. The moment they entered the courtroom, her eyes fell on Li Jincao. Looking at Li Jincao's still rosy face, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
When the trial opened, Yang Ning, Ren Xianying and Zhu Zhu confessed their crimes. In their final statements, Yang Ning and the other two sincerely repented and pleaded guilty.
After the trial, Yang Ning was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve as the mastermind of the forum mutual aid corpse burning case and she expanded her revenge targets to other people.
Ren Xianying and Zhuzhu were accomplices, and Ren Xianying and Zhuzhu were sentenced to fifteen years.
The three of them were quite satisfied with this ending, especially Yang Ning, who burst into tears on the spot.
She thought she would be sentenced to death, but the two-year reprieve was already a very, very good outcome for her. During this period, as long as she behaved well, she would most likely not have to die.
Ren Xianying is very open. She is over 60 years old. After she killed her husband, her children and grandchildren all came to see her. Their words were full of dissatisfaction with her. Ren Xianying had no expectations for them a long time ago. She had carefully raised her children all her life, but in the end, they became as selfish as their father.
Spending fifteen years in prison is much more comfortable than dealing with these ungrateful people.
Zhuzhu's parents also came. As soon as the trial was over, they left in a hurry without saying a word to Zhuzhu. Zhuzhu was not disappointed about this.
After sending the crying and laughing Li Jincao back to the nursing home, Lin Shuyue had a meal at a restaurant outside and went back to the apartment to take a nap. In the afternoon, she had to attend the trial of several water delivery trucks.
The alarm rang, and Lin Shuyue woke up on time. She drank a glass of ice water, washed her face, and went out. The moment she went out, the door next door opened. Lin Shuyue pulled the corner of her mouth, glanced at the pinhole camera facing the corridor at the door without leaving a trace, and sneered in her heart.
She didn't come back often during this period, but every time she came back, she would meet Yan Juenian when she went out. He also dressed up like a peacock every time, just like now, wearing a shirt with irregular pink, yellow and blue smudges and a pair of white casual pants, and a pair of black pointed leather shoes on his feet. The color combination was so bright that Lin Shuyue's eyes hurt when she saw it.
But Yan Juenian, who had been working seriously for two hours, did not feel that he had disturbed Lin Shuyue's eyes. He thought he was looking very handsome and swooshed his hair, which had been sprayed with a lot of hairspray, in front of Lin Shuyue and greeted her.
"Long time no see, Miss Lin." It has been more than ten days, and Yan Juenian and Lin Shuyue have met many times, but after so many times, the two still do not have a close relationship to the point where they can call each other by their names.
Yan Juenian felt that it was all because Lin Shuyue was too shy about feelings. Every time she saw him, she was too shy to look at him. This gave Yan Juenian's male chauvinism great satisfaction, but he was also a little anxious.
He tried to seduce a woman, but it was the first time he encountered such a difficult one! She went home after get off work, and he often didn't see her at the newspaper office during work. When he went to her workplace to inquire about her, everyone treated him as a bad guy. Not only did they not tell him where Lin Shuyue was, they also treated him as a thief.
This is undoubtedly a huge insult to Yan Juenian. He has been in the industry for ten years and has tricked countless women. You can say he is a liar, but you can't say he is a thief. Of course, a flower thief doesn't count.
Lin Shuyue frowned, hummed, and stood in the corner of the elevator.
In the small elevator, it was a sultry afternoon, and the strong scent of cologne on Yan Juenian really made people feel dizzy.
Yan Juenian didn't think so and kept talking, like a hundred ducks quacking in her ears. The bubbling sound he deliberately pressed out was just like Donald Duck's voice, which made people feel uncomfortable when they heard it.
She didn't want to continue to be entangled with Yan Juenian endlessly. When the elevator descended to the first floor, Lin Shuyue said, "Mr. Yan, we are just ordinary neighbors. We've only talked a few words, and I am not interested in getting to know you. You don't have to block me every time I go out, and you don't have to find topics to chat with me every time. I am not interested in you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator door opened on the B1 floor. Lin Shuyue walked out and drove away. At the same time, she called Wu Dongyan and told her that someone was targeting her.
Behind her, Yan Juenian no longer had the flirtatious teasing that he had just shown in front of Lin Shuyue. The smile on his face looked particularly gloomy. He took out his cell phone and called: "Brother Hong, this girl is very vigilant. It's been so long, and I can't even get close to her. It seems that your plan can't be completed... What? Add another 20% to the reward? Brother Hong, don't worry, you don't know my reputation in the underworld?"
The conversation on the phone gradually disappeared as Yan Juenian returned to the elevator.
•••••
Lin Shuyue had already arrived at the court. She met Ma Yanmin's family at the door. After this period of treatment, her health had improved a lot. At least she was no longer out of breath after saying a few words like before. Xu Zhenbo took care of her and was considerate to her as always, but it was worth mentioning that there was a man with Ma Yanzhi.
Ma Yanmin introduced Lin Shuyue to Ma Yanzhi's boyfriend, who ran a spicy hot pot stall. They had been dating for two months and were about to get married.
During this meeting, Lin Shuyue discovered that the inexplicable feeling lingering between Xu Zhenbo and Ma Yanzhi had disappeared.
While Xu Zhenbo was out buying tissues for Ma Yanmin, Ma Yanmin patted Lin Shuyue's hand and said, "Reporter Lin, it's rare to be muddleheaded in life."
Ma Yanmin knew what kind of feelings Ma Yanzhi had for Xu Zhenbo, but it was hard to say what Xu Zhenbo felt for Ma Yanzhi. It was not love, but he definitely had the idea of spending his life with her. After Ma Yanmin recovered, Xu Zhenbo never thought about it again. Ma Yanmin didn't want to pursue what had happened, after all, she had done her best to facilitate it at that time.
Lin Shuyue looked at her and said with a smile: "I asked Doctor Zhao, he said your body is recovering very well, if it continues like this, there will be no problem."
Lin Shuyue saw that Dr. Zhao had returned from Hunan Province. When they met when they went to see Hang Jiabai, they chatted casually and Dr. Zhao mentioned Ma Yanmin.
Ma Yanmin obviously values her health very much. She said: "I feel the same way. After what happened, I really feel that good health is better than anything else."
"Yes, health is more important than anything else." Lin Shuyue was very pleased with Ma Yanmin's idea.
Xu Zhenbo came back and the two ended the topic.
At the trial, in the face of absolute evidence, Li Chenggong confessed to using spring water to kill people and steal houses. He was sentenced to death and executed immediately. At the trial, the judge announced a series of compensations for the victims' families. Li Chenggong had objections, but his objections were not accepted.
Based on the severity of the injury, Ma Yanmin was awarded 300,000 yuan in compensation.
This price was already very high. At the end of the trial, Ma Yanmin told Lin Shuyue that she also wanted to buy a house and a shop.
She also brought Lin Shuyue a good news: "Our Jinshengyuan community is about to be demolished, and we can have two resettlement houses."
Ma Yanmin and Xu Zhenbo worked hard for so many years to buy a shop and a house. Now they have two more houses and a shop that will be added soon. Ma Yanmin and Xu Zhenbo both have smiles on their faces.
Lin Shuyue was also happy for their good future.
"We have decided to adopt a child from the welfare home. We have already chosen a child. It's a girl, very cute, three years old. I think she and I have a special connection." Ma Yanmin said to Lin Shuyue and took out a photo to show Lin Shuyue.
The little girl in the photo was indeed very cute. Lin Shuyue congratulated her and then watched her get on the tricycle driven by Xu Zhenbo. She waved to Lin Shuyue and then blended into the hurried traffic.
Lin Shuyue also returned to the newspaper. After she wrote two reports and sent them to Huang Qiang, she was about to leave when she was stopped by Huang Qiang.
Huang Qiang has now been officially promoted to director of the news department, and his desk has been moved to Zhao Bing's former office. But unlike Zhao Bing, his office door is always open all year round, so people outside can see at a glance what he is doing inside.
Lin Shuyue walked in, grabbed a chair and sat down: "What's wrong, Master?"
Huang Qiang took out a document and said, "Your application for the Top Ten Outstanding Young Journalists has been approved. You need to prepare yourself. You will have to go to the capital on December 20th."
Lin Shuyue was very surprised, she had already forgotten about this matter.
This list of the top ten outstanding youth newspapers is organized by the Central News Department, and the venue is naturally in the capital, so it is of a very high standard.
Lin Shuyue is still very motivated, just like in school, no matter what competition it is, she will participate: "Okay, Master."
Huang Qiang asked Lin Shuyue to come over for more than just this matter. He said, "The resort in the suburbs has been opened. It is owned by President Xun. We will go there to have some fun. Do you have time? We can go tomorrow."
Lin Shuyue knew this resort. It was surrounded by mountains on one side and the sea on the other. It had a very good geographical location and was not remote. It could be reached in less than an hour by car.
Lin Shuyue happened to have nothing else to do: "Okay, what time do we meet tomorrow morning? Do we have to drive there ourselves, or will the company arrange it for us?"
"Tomorrow's event is open to everyone who has time. The company has chartered a bus. You can come tomorrow and just take the bus."
Mr. Xun's resort is very large, large enough to accommodate all the branches of Dingsheng Group.
"Okay, then I'll go back?"
"Go back."
As Lin Shuyue walked downstairs, she called Lou Fengqin to tell her that she was going to the resort with her colleagues. Lou Fengqin said she knew and reminded Lin Shuyue to be careful.
There is a vegetable market near the apartment, so Lin Shuyue bought some vegetables and planned to cook for herself.
She can cook and her cooking skills are pretty good, but she doesn't cook often. The meal she arranged for herself tonight is Beijing-style shredded pork with soybean sauce, cola chicken wings, and a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
The dish of Beijing-style shredded pork with sweet and salty sauce is something she had eaten in a northern restaurant in her previous life. The shredded pork with salty and sweet taste is wrapped in bean curd skin and served with refreshing shredded cucumber and green onion. It has all kinds of flavors. Lin Shuyue fell in love with it the first time she ate it and even watched several videos of it.
The taste of cola chicken wings is also sweet and salty. Lin Shuyue hasn't eaten it for a long time. After she made it, she called Lin Shuyang. After a while, Lin Shuyang came with Zeng Xiaoyi and Bai Pingping.
Seeing that there was no soup in the food prepared by Lin Shuyue, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ever since my eldest sister became pregnant, we've never run out of soup in our house. There are so many meat and vegetable soups. Even if we love soup so much, we'll get tired of it." Lin Shuyang complained to Lin Shuyue while serving himself rice.
This is the reason why Lin Shuyue doesn't want to go home. This is probably the normal psychology of most children in the Guangdong areas.
Mom always makes soup for us to drink, and we have to drink it. We obviously feel very annoyed, but once we go out of town, they become like mom and make all kinds of soup.
"When you go off to college, you'll definitely miss mom's soup."
Lin Shuyue turned on the TV and watched the urban channel. The urban channel was broadcasting a large-scale life drama, which told the stories of neighbors and was very popular among locals.
While watching TV series and eating, the three children praised the Beijing-style shredded pork and cola chicken wings made by Lin Shuyue, and they finished everything together with the stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
Tomorrow is the weekend. Lin Shuyang and Zeng Xiaoyi have finished their homework. They plan to stay at Lin Shuyue's house for one night. Lin Shuyang will sleep on the sofa downstairs.
Zeng Xiaoyi and Bai Pingping live in the second bedroom upstairs.
Before going to bed, Zeng Xiaoyi took Bai Pingping to find Lin Shuyue.
"Sister Yue, do you know Super Girls?"
Lin Shuyue nodded. Super Girls is a singing talent show held by Mango TV this spring. It is very popular among the people. During the finals, everyone was voting for the girls.
Zeng Xiaoyi and Bai Pingping looked at each other, and Zeng Xiaoyi said, "Our provincial TV station also has a singing program, but it's not a talent show, it's just pure singing and competition. Our music teacher asked me if I'd like to go. If I win, I'll get a bonus of 10,000 yuan."
Of course, this much prize money is only given to the champion. The runner-up gets five thousand and the third place gets three thousand.
Zeng Xiaoyi was very excited, she wanted to win the championship. During this time at Lin Shuyue's house, she ate and lived for free, even though Lou Fengqin and Bai Wenhua adopted her as their goddaughter, she still felt guilty.
Lin Shuyue understood Zeng Xiaoyi's little self-esteem, so she asked softly, "What about you? Are you willing?"
Zeng Xiaoyi said: "I do."
Lin Shuyue remembered that she hadn't gone back to get her diploma yet, so she said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Yeah yeah yeah!" Zeng Xiaoyi and Bai Pingping hugged each other, looking extremely excited.
After the two of them had calmed down, Lin Shuyue asked about the time. It was already very tight, just in mid-November.
Bai Pingping and Zeng Xiaoyi went to the next door hand in hand. Bai Pingping was a former beauty pageant champion and had experience on the big stage, which she was teaching Zeng Xiaoyi.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Lin Shuyue heard some noise coming from next door. Just as she was about to go out to see what was going on, she received a message from Hang Jiabai.
They are arresting Yan Juenian.
Lin Shuyue knew that Yan Juenian must have done something wrong, but she hadn't had time to find out what he had done. Unexpectedly, in just one afternoon, his past was exposed.
Lin Shuyue was very curious, and then she waited for Hang Jiabai for an hour, and Hang Jiabai finally called Lin Shuyue back.
"This guy called Yan Juenian's real name is Wang Goudan. Don't laugh, it's really that name. Yan Juenian is a fake certificate he made." (TL's Note: 'Gou' means 'dog' and 'Dan' means 'egg/testicle', which means 'Goudan' means 'dog testicle'.)
"He is from Wangdian, Harbin. He is 32 years old this year, but he has been involved in the underworld since he was 22. Because he is good-looking and has some talent, he became a professional liar, specializing in defrauding rich women."
"He has a lot of people under his control, and the amount of fraud has reached more than two million. After each fraud, he would move to another place to continue his old business. But according to his account, he set his target on you this time. It was ordered by a man named Brother Hong."
"According to our investigation, this Hong Ge should be Hong Maohe, the younger brother of Hong Tianshui, the leader of the Great Sutra Wheel Sect. He escaped during the last nationwide campaign to suppress the leader of the Great Sutra Wheel Sect. Now we have locked down his location, and the local public security have taken action. It won't be long before we can expect the good news that he has been arrested."
Hang Jiabai's statement confirmed Lin Shuyue's previous thoughts. It turned out that the appearance of Yan Juenian, the peerless oily man, was related to the Great Sutra Wheel Sect.
The amount of fraud is so high, there must be a lot of people who have been deceived by him. Now that he is caught, he will be so unworthy if he doesn't spend fifteen or twenty years in prison.
Lin Shuyue was satisfied. She talked with Hang Jiabai for a while and then went to sleep.
The next morning when she got up and looked out from the balcony, she saw a bus parked downstairs of Dingsheng Building.
Lin Shuyue washed up, told Lin Shuyang, who was still asleep, some things, and left with her bag. When she passed by the camera that Yan Juenian had installed specifically to monitor her, she gave it a middle finger.
Almost everyone in the company had arrived. Lin Shuyue and Li Mingfang found a seat together. As soon as the car started, Li Mingfang took out two apples from her bag, gave one to Lin Shuyue and the other to Li Weisheng who was sitting on the other side of the aisle. Then she took out another apple and started to eat it.
They talked and chatted along the way. During the day, the car drove out of the downtown area and gradually entered the suburban roads. Lin Shuyue put the apple core into the garbage bag she carried with her and turned her head to look out the window.
She happened to see a funeral home not far from the roadside.
