Wu Wan

Chapter 28

After the summer vacation, Jiang Yi spent a lot more time at home, and his life was the same as usual, except that Zhao Duobao would often be taken out by Jiang Yi in different ways, so that he would not get bored at home.

The resumes that Zhao Duobao submitted were all gone, and Jiang Yi made arrangements for travel when he had nothing to do.

After visiting various scenic spots around the city one after another, Zhao Duobao's mind became more and more serious.

Jiang Yi has been answering the phone more frequently recently, and judging from his expression, it seems that he is not very happy. There have been disputes several times, and finally the call was forcibly interrupted.

Jiang Yi became emotional and his voice was very loud. Even if he hid in his room or on the balcony and called on the phone, Zhao Duobao still heard some corners.He was almost sure that these calls were all related to the exposure of Jiang Shuo's homosexuality.

He can often hear Jiang Yi mentioning the word "prosecution". Thinking of the chat records he saw a month ago, it seems that Jiang Yi has been targeted because of this incident.

Zhao Duobao was browsing the recruitment website in his bedroom. Jiang Yi knocked on the door, holding his phone in a hurry, "I'm going out for a while, come back before dinner."

Just now Jiang Yi was on the phone again, but they still broke up unhappy. Zhao Duobao could hear Jiang Yi lose his temper in the room.

"Ah."

After Jiang Yi left, Zhao Duobao came to the living room.

Jiang Yi walked in a hurry, and his laptop was still on the coffee table. Zhao Duobao looked at the door and saw Jiang Yi's slippers there, so he sighed and walked to the computer and sat down.

The screen was already black, Zhao Duobao moved the mouse, and his eyes lit up instantly, Jiang Yi's QQ was hanging on the computer, and the icon in the lower right corner kept flashing.

Zhao Duobao moved the mouse over the icon, and the preview window showed a QQ group named "Nowhere to Hide".

Worried about being discovered by Jiang Yi, he held his breath and right-clicked to open the main panel, avoided the few conversations with new message reminders in the message bar, slid down the interface, and saw a few familiar notes, all of which were posted by Jiang Shuo Forget about homosexual entertainment media, Zhao Duobao picked a dialog box with the last contact on June 6 and clicked in.

The content of the final conversation was that the other party sent "the final payment has been remitted", and he pulled it up. It was a string of card numbers sent by Jiang Yi, and the other party said "the full picture has been received".

Zhao Duobao took a picture with his mobile phone, and clicked on several others, all of which were similar conversations, and he took pictures of them shaking his hands.

Seeing that Jiang Yi hadn't come back, Zhao Duobao boldly clicked on Jiang Yi's mailbox. Sure enough, there were a lot of emails with the media. He clicked on the first email, and the attachments were the photos that had been exposed.

Zhao Duobao's hand trembled more and more, he kept looking up towards the door, and took several shots to get a clear picture of these emails.

He bit his lower lip, glanced at the direction of the door, looked at the time again, gritted his teeth, clicked through all the folders in the computer that seemed useful, and found a lot of useful content, including the Electronic mailing list for mailing photos.

In the end, there was a separate folder in the F drive without a name. Zhao Duobao clicked it without thinking, but he didn't expect that there was only one video in it, which was the one Jiang Yi used to threaten him.

Even if he believed that Jiang Yi had never spread this video, he still felt as if his lungs had been sliced ​​open with a knife. He couldn't breathe. The mouse wobbled to select the video. He wanted to click delete, delete this He thought it was love, but others regarded it as the product of a joke, but he couldn't, he couldn't let Jiang Yi find out that he had touched the computer.

Zhao Duobao suppressed his sadness and restored the computer to its original state bit by bit.After everything was restored, he stared at the screen until it was completely black, while listening to the movement outside the door, for fear that Jiang Yi would suddenly come home at this time.Finally, the screen went completely black, and Zhao Duobao breathed a sigh of relief.

He went back to the room, looked at the photos he had taken, imported them all into his computer with a data cable, and deleted the part on the phone after confirming that they were correct.

About [-] minutes later, Jiang Yi returned home with an ugly face, a small bruise on the corner of his right eye, and scratches on his neck.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Duobao came out of the bedroom, glanced at Jiang Yi and then looked at the computer on the coffee table with a guilty conscience.

Probably because he was injured in a fight and was upset, Jiang Yi said in a firm tone, "It's nothing."

Zhao Duobao was so focused on Jiang Yi's computer that he didn't care whether his tone was good or bad.Jiang Yi changed his shoes and sat on the sofa immediately, shook the mouse violently, and turned on the screen.

Zhao Duobao's heart hung high following Jiang Yi's movements, staring intently at Jiang Yi's face.Jiang Yi stared at the screen for a while, then suddenly raised his head and glanced at Zhao Duobao. Zhao Duobao was so frightened that his heart jumped out of his throat. In order not to appear guilty, he forced himself to meet Jiang Yi's eyes.

Jiang Yi glanced over Zhao Duobao and looked at the wall clock on the wall, "Let's go eat." His tone was a little better than when he first entered the room, but he could still hear that he was not very happy.

Seeing that Jiang Yi didn't say anything, Zhao Duobao finally let go of his heart and let out a heavy breath.

"Why are you so nervous?"

"Ah?" Zhao Duobao stiffened immediately, "No."

"Did I scare you just now? I'm not angry with you." Jiang Yi's tone softened a lot, and he rubbed Zhao Duobao's tense shoulders, "I'll be more careful in the future, let's go downstairs for dinner."

The afternoon before Jiang Yi started school, there was a sudden knock on the door in the living room.

Zhao Duobao was watching TV in the living room, and Jiang Yi was in his bedroom.

The people outside were still knocking on the door. Zhao Duobao glanced out through the cat's eye. It was a strange face he had never seen before. He cleared his throat and asked, "Who is it?"

"You have a subpoena from the court, please open the door to sign for it."

"Subpoena?" Zhao Duobao froze for a moment, then glanced in the direction of Jiang Yi's bedroom.

"Yes, is this the residence of Mr. Jiang Yi?"

The movement outside alarmed Jiang Yi. Standing at the door of the bedroom, he rushed over when he heard the conversation between the two, pulled Zhao Duobao away and shouted outside, "No, don't come."

"I have already contacted the owner. According to the documents he provided, it has been confirmed that the resident here is indeed the Mr. Jiang Yi we are looking for. Please open the door first."

Zhao Duobao's hand was already on the doorknob, Jiang Yi pressed his wrist, and shook his head at him with a cold face.

bang bang bang-

Someone outside knocked on the door again.

Zhao Duobao closed his eyes and pushed down the handle of the door, and opened the door.

The visitor held up a file bag, "Which one is Mr. Jiang Yi?"

Jiang Yi took a deep look at Zhao Duobao, "Me."

"You have a subpoena from the court, please sign for it." Seeing that Jiang Yi had no intention of accepting it, the other party added, "Even if you don't sign for it, the lawsuit against you is still valid, and the subpoena will be served with lien, please be careful consider."

Jiang Yi hesitated to take the document and signed his name.

"Please appear in court on time. If you refuse to respond, the court has the right to make a default judgment."

After the people from the court left, Zhao Duobao stared blankly at the file bag in Jiang Yi's hand, and pursed his lips, "Are you sued?"

Jiang Yi completely ignored Zhao Duobao's question, carefully read the contents of the subpoena, and gritted his back molars angrily.

Zhao Duobao panicked for a while, and quietly went back to his bedroom, deleted all the recent emails in the computer, emptied the trash can, and even emptied the computer's recycle bin before giving up.

When he returned to the living room, Jiang Yi was no longer there, and the slippers were folded one up and the other down at the door.At this moment, his heart was beating as fast as a drum, and he walked to the balcony and stood at the place where Jiang Yi usually smoked.

There was still a little soot left on the railing, Zhao Duobao bent his fingers and flicked it off.At the end of August, City B already had a taste of autumn, and the evening wind brought a little bit of coolness.The Mid-Autumn Festival is still half a month away. Thinking about it carefully, the first time I met Jiang Yi was not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, but in less than a year, his life has changed so much.

He has already bought a ticket to go home and is going to accompany Mother Zhao. He has never dared to tell his family about his job loss.His mother's health is getting worse and worse. The last time my grandmother asked someone to send a text message, the hospital in the county said that his mother might not survive this winter. He planned to bring Zhao's mother to City B for treatment when he returned home this time, a big city. The medical condition is much better than their county hospital, there is always a solution.

The location of the house that Jiang Yi rented was very good, and the sunset happened to be visible from the balcony. Zhao Duobao stood here and watched the sun gradually sinking to the horizon until a new moon hung in the sky.

"I'm back." Jiang Yi's voice came from the living room.

When Zhao Duobao walked into the house, Jiang Yi's expression was very bad. His right knuckles were all broken, and some places were still bleeding.

Zhao Duobao thought about it, and went to get the medicine box, "Let me help you deal with it."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi sat down and handed his right hand to Zhao Duobao.

The alcohol rubbed against the damaged skin and caused a burning pain. Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and stared at Zhao Duobao.There was silence in the room. After a long time, Jiang Yi said slowly, "Xiaobao, have you never forgiven me?"

Zhao Duobao paused, and the cotton swab rolled to the ground. He bent down to pick it up and threw it into the trash can, then took another one and dipped it in alcohol, and continued to treat Jiang Yi's wound.

"Yes."

After treating all the wounds, Zhao Duobao answered Jiang Yi.

"I see." Jiang Yi clenched his fists, "The court will be held on the 12th of next month, are you coming?"

"I bought a ticket home."

As soon as Zhao Duobao finished speaking, he saw Jiang Yi's eyes sharpen suddenly, as if he was suppressing his anger, he held back when he wanted to say something, but gave Zhao Duobao a vague look.

From this moment on, the two of them lived under the same roof but never said a single word, they didn't even meet their eyes, and they lived their own lives.

The day before the trial, Zhao Duobao was packing his luggage in the bedroom. He did buy a ticket for the No. 12 bus, but it was only at night, and it wasn't that he couldn't catch up with Jiang Yi's trial.

The next day, Zhao Duobao woke up before dawn. He heard Jiang Yi coming in and out of the room, several doors opening and closing, making a lot of noise, and finally with a loud closing sound, All fell silent.

After a long time, Zhao Duobao came out of the bedroom. The living room was in a mess. He kicked the trash can by his feet and glanced at the clock on the wall. Half an hour had passed since the court time notified by the summons. After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to go out.

When Zhao Duobao arrived at the gate of the designated court, the trial had already ended, and people went out one after another.In the crowd, Zhao Duobao saw Jiang Shuowang and Shi Qi who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Little Treasure." Shi Qi looked at him in surprise.

"Sister Qi." Zhao Duobao nodded towards Shi Qi, then looked at Jiang Shuowang next to him, "Boss."

"I'm not your boss anymore." Jiang Shuo forgot to smile.

Zhao Duobao also smiled, "I can't change my words for a while."

"You..." Shi Qi couldn't hold back his temper, looked around, and dragged Zhao Duobao to the side corner, "Did you send it to my mailbox?"

Zhao Duobao nodded, looked at the gate of the court, "What's the result?"

"Attempted extortion, sentenced to three years."

Zhao Duobao's face was livid, his chest was stuffy, as if someone had punched him hard, "Can I go and have a look?"

"Let me take you there. He gave up his appeal and was sentenced directly. He will be put in prison today."

"Ah."

Shi Qi took Zhao Duobao to see Jiang Yi, and talked about the details of the trial on the way. Only then did Zhao Duobao know that Fuying could not find any evidence to directly sue Jiang Yi, so he decided to sue Liu Cheng, but Liu Cheng was bought by Wang Zhuo As a tainted witness, and with the evidence Zhao Duobao sent to Shi Qi, Fu Ying directly sued Jiang Yi for extortion.

However, although Jiang Yi mentioned a huge amount of 500 million yuan, he was finally sentenced to three years of commutation due to the attempt.

"Why did Wang Zhuo do this?"

"Changyu wanted to monopolize the market, bought the so-called exclusivity from Jiang Yi at a high price, only to find out that Jiang Yi had already sold it to an unknown number of media outlets when the final payment was made...Here, go in, I'll wait for you outside."

"Ah."

Zhao Duobao saw Jiang Yi through the glass, and he looked far less energetic than before, even his eyes were dim.Seeing Zhao Duobao, his expression changed a few times, and he still couldn't find a suitable one to face.

"I know you have touched my computer." Jiang Yi's nasal voice was heavy and muffled, as if he had just cried, "I bet myself whether you would let it go, but I lost the bet."

"This is the price you should pay."

"Xiaobao, I didn't expect you to hate me so much."

"It's not hatred." This word made Zhao Duobao's heart ache, and he hastily retorted.

"What is that?" Jiang Yi's tone was full of surprise, but suddenly he became disappointed, "You told me that you never forgave me."

Zhao Duobao avoided Jiang Yi's expectant eyes, "No matter what it is, I can't cover you."

Jiang Yi smiled wryly, remained silent for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice, "I hope you can live the life you want in these three years without me."

Zhao Duobao took a deep look at Jiang Yi, and slowly got up, "I'm leaving."

He didn't know how he got out, and when he saw Shi Qi, his eyes were hazy, he choked up, and said: "Sister Qi, I took a gamble and wanted revenge, but why am I not happy at all now. "

Shi Qi patted him on the back, handed him a piece of paper, didn't know what to say, just sighed.
