Handle, control, publicize.
Zhou Kai was rushed to the hospital.
Chi Xiaochi was put in a police car and driven to the police station.
Chi Xiaochi, who got in the car, sighed, "Ugh."
061: "Huh?"
Chi Xiaochi regrets, "He was originally given the choice of psychiatry, but he had to squat in orthopedics."
061: "......" Wasn't it you who hit him with a throttle and made him look like this.
However, if this canker sore is not treated early, when Zhou Kai comes back to his senses, it will sooner or later attack Shen Zhangqing.
Once back in the Zhou family, in the Zhou family's territory, once the heat of the news is over, it will be very difficult for Chi Xiaochi to find the next right moment to expose this matter.
So 061 didn't say anything, and wasn't going to advise him to be careful next time.
Everything Chi Xiaochi did was for the benefit of the original owner.
As for being cautious and careful, it's something you have to do on your own.
The doctor examined a bunch of them and the final diagnosis was not far from 061.
Fractured femur, broken ribs, cracked calf, liver damage, and undoubtedly, future disability.
Tonight's Zhou residence is particularly lively, police cars and then ambulances, enough to let those who do not die of squatting journalists high on a hand.
After the news report was released, all kinds of speculations came, and all kinds of "informed sources" also threw out information that was hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, which made the whole city in a storm for a while.
After a full day and a half of suspending the public's appetite, Shen Zhangqing announced a press conference to put an end to all the speculation.
Shen Zhangqing, who attended the launch event, was dressed very plainly, with a white shirt and navy blue pants, a little bit of redness on the tip of her nose and under her eyes, and a little bit of fluttering in her eyes.
He is accompanied by James, the sheriff who visited Chow's house and brought him to the police station that day, and two unexpected characters.
--Aaron, the family doctor, and the Spanish maid of the Chow family.
Last time I sat here, Shen Zhangqing was the puppet.
Shen Zhangqing is the star of the show.
He held on to the microphone and seemed to have summoned endless courage before he said in a nasal voice, "Hello, you guys. I am Shen Zhangqing, a ...... person who has struggled for three years in a nightmare called Zhou Kai."
...... is not an animal or a slave to be slaughtered, it is a living, breathing human being.
Amidst the non-stop flashing lights, he slowly recounted what had happened to him over the years.
The days of Zhou Kai pulling her hair and holding her face down on the cold expensive floor, the days of being yelled at "I'll break your face and legs and see who dares to take you", the days of never-ending bruises, will never be the same again.
At first, the venue was in an uproar, with voices of skepticism and incredulous boos and sighs, but gradually, only Shen Zhangqing's narration could be heard throughout the venue.
Some of the emotional female reporters covered their mouths and let out soft sobs.
After Shen Zhangqing's account was completed, both Dr. Aaron and the maid corroborated Shen Zhangqing's allegations.
Aaron produced a thick stack of consultation slips, making his records of each visit public.
Fractured nose, multiple soft tissue contusions throughout the body, mild concussion, moderate concussion, slight fracture of scapula, several bruises ......
The maid, in turn, stammered a mixture of Spanish and English about what she had seen at the Chou mansion.
"...... Mr. Zhou won't let us talk to Mr. Shen. He says Mr. Shen is as dumb as a pig and it's useless to learn."
"I must follow Mr. Shen every time he goes out. Where Mr. Shen went and who he spoke to, Mr. Zhou had to know, and had to check with Mr. Shen one by one. If Mr. Shen gives an account that is different from mine, he will be beaten."
"There was also the dog that Mr. Shen kept, which was also seriously injured when Mr. Zhou kicked it against the wall. Mr. Zhou said to the public that the dog was hurt by a madman ......"
Recalling them is torture for anyone whose conscience isn't dead clean.
During her speech, the maid broke down several times and burst into tears, unable to say a word.
But Shen Zhangqing did not shed any tears. He looked down at the stage with an indescribably confused and bewildered gaze, as if he still couldn't believe that he had returned to earth.
His gaze held water, like a dog that had been wronged and didn't know what it had done wrong, and 061 wanted to pet his head when he looked at it.
Not waiting for the maid to finish her speech, a reporter angrily rose to ask a question, "Both of you are accomplices of Zhou Kai! You have now come forward, but in doing so, did you not realize that it was wrong?"
The maid covered her face and cried, while Aaron lowered his head and took the accusation silently.
With Shen Zhangqing's consent, James, representing the police, released the images from Zhou Kai's car recorder on the day of the accident. Although only part of the content was intercepted, the voice recorded in it was sufficiently horrifying.
"...... You are too tired, get some rest."
"Mr. Chow, don't, I'm driving."
"Mr. Zhou--"
As for Zhou Kai's response to Shen Zhangqing, it's disgusting in a way that no one can say.
Even though the camera did not specifically capture the state of the dispute in the car, it is entirely possible to surmise what happened in the car based on the conversation between the two and the timing of the vehicle's loss of control.
While watching the video, Shen Zhangqing suffered a slight stomach cramp and shivered while lying on the table, interrupting the screening for a while, which resumed only after he waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
After playing the video, Sheriff James stated that Zhou Kai, who was still unconscious in his hospital bed, would be indicted on several counts, including assault.
As for Shen Zhangqing, he's also at fault, with charges of hit-and-run, failure to drive with care, and the possibility of having to spend hundreds of Canadian dollars to compensate for an abandoned wall, as well as volunteer work in the community.
Reporters asked many questions, including how Zhou Kai's predecessor, Su Wenyi, died, and whether Zhou Kai had committed sexual violence, etc. Shen Zhangqing, with his hands on his knees, answered them one by one, albeit in a somewhat disorganized manner, but answered them all.
For example, Zhou Kai's heavenly eunuch attributes, such as the fact that he can't get hard in bed at all, are huge and clear.
At the end of the conference, Shen Zhangqing stood up, with tears in his eyes, and bowed deeply to everyone present, "...... Thank you, everyone, for saving Herp and I from ourselves."
061 secretly applauded.
It was beautifully said and instantly satisfied everyone's heart of caring for the underdog.
For Shen Zhangqing, it's a perfect ending.
After the conference, Sergeant James escorted Shen Zhangqing to the parking lot.
He shook hands with Sam, who had been waiting in the parking lot for a long time, and quickly let go again before reporters from outside the arena gathered around him.
Getting into Sam's car, Shen Zhangqing fastens his seatbelt.
Sam said, "Well done."
Shen Zhangqing lowered his eyes.
Shooting in from any corner outside, you can only see Shen Zhangqing's blank and bemused expression.
But his tone of voice was at odds with his expression, "So are you."
Sam raises an eyebrow.
Shen Zhangqing said, "It wasn't easy to convince Aaron to testify."
Sam smiled, "Aaron knows the priorities. If the investigation is real, he won't be able to get away with it. Why don't you accept my offer, come out to testify, earn a fortune, and find a small place to live in peace."
Shen Zhangqing said, "What about Bella." Bella is the Spanish maid.
Sam said, "She already had a grudge against Mr. Chow, and now that things have erupted, she naturally wants to remove herself from the heart of the storm. Plus there's still a little bit of conscience ......"
Shen Zhangqing trailed off, "...... Oh."
Sam looks at him before he realizes what's going on.
He let out a bitter smile, "...... Mr. Shen, you are indeed very capable."
--If Sam had the intention to record the conversation between the two of them in order to threaten or use Shen Zhangqing to tie him and himself to the same boat, then what he did just now not only didn't work, but also set himself up for it.
Shen Zhangqing is asking questions but saying nothing; Sam, on the other hand, is revealing the machinations of an ambitious man.
...... Even after leaving the media, Shen Zhangqing is still a watertight character in front of Sam.
Sam said gently, "Mr. Shen, don't misunderstand. There isn't any recording device in the car."
Shen Zhangqing said, "Are you sure?"
Sam was stunned, and his face then changed.
...... He saw the cell phone Shen Zhangqing was playing with in his hand.
But soon, Shen Zhangqing lights up his cell phone screen.
There is no sign that says "recording in progress", but rather a photo of Shen Zhangqing and Herp.
Shen Zhangqing said, "...... just kidding."
Sam let out a sigh of relief, ''Mr. Shen, don't misunderstand. You and I are only working together for a short period of time, each taking what we need. After it's done, we'll ......"
"To each his own?"
Shen Zhangqing looks over at Sam with his chin in the air, his gaze still soft with a shimmering mist, but his words come out in a different light.
"Mr. Sam, aren't you mistaken about something?" He said, "If I remember correctly, this opportunity was offered to you entirely by me. In other words, it's you working for me, and the portion you earn is your wages."
Sam flinched, and his original decent smile stiffened.
No words the rest of the way.
061 said to Chi Xiaochi, "That's too much for you to say."
Chi Xiaochi said, "I'm paving the way and building bridges for Shen Zhangqing."
061 certainly knows.
Sam's collaboration with "Shen Zhangqing" is based on a common hatred for Zhou Kai.
Now that Zhou Kai is dead and gone, as soon as the building collapsed, Sam took control of the company and took Zhou Kai's shares.
It would be fine if he was conscientious, but Sam is a shrewd businessman after all, and if he is trying to blackmail Shen Zhangqing with emails, recordings, and the like, to prove that his plan to take down Zhou Kai was premeditated, to destroy his moral high ground, and thus to reduce the amount of compensation that Shen Zhangqing can get, then Shen Zhangqing must have something in his hands that can counter him. Shen Zhangqing must have something in his hand that can counteract him.
For example, right now in Chi Xiaochi's pants pocket, there's a running tape recorder.
Chi Xiaochi doesn't care what Sam thinks, he has to keep information that can threaten Sam himself.
...... includes Sam's private negotiations with shareholders to unseat Zhou Kai, his behind-the-scenes maneuvering of the company's stock price after Zhou Kai's sex scandal broke, and even the recorded phone calls and bank records of his bribes to James, Aaron, and several heavyweight media outlets.
061 would love for these to come in handy.
But when it comes time to put them to use, they can be a very powerful weapon for Shen Zhangqing.
What Chi Xiaochi wanted was simple: to give Shen Zhangqing a life with food and clothing.
After all, you can't just go home and eat yourself after this battle.
However, the gentleman system 061, who always treats people with courtesy, still felt that Chi Xiaochi's words were too harsh and too unforgiving.
In this regard, Chi Xiaochi has his own set of reasons: "Have you ever seen people build bridges and houses and hit the ground piles, are holding a drill abruptly. Tenderness in many cases can only move themselves, after all, true love is not to maintain a stable relationship with the bond, fear is."
061: "......" feels like what's going on with this set of skewed reasoning myths.
Soon, the Chow House arrived.
Chi Xiaochi was about to push the door and get out of the car, and after a moment's thought, turned back.
"Still, thank you very much. I got you what you wanted, and I got what I wanted." Chi Xiaochi's attitude was unexpectedly much more relaxed than earlier, "Good cooperation."
Sam smiled and nodded, all the while thinking that this was probably the Eastern philosophy of socializing.
The so-called "slap in the face and give a date" is really scary.
Dozens of journalists who did not have access to the conference site were still squatting near Zhou's house to feed the mosquitoes, but they were one step too slow, and Chi Xiaochi was experienced enough to have prepared a door card and entered the villa as soon as he got out of the car.
Reporters had to surround Sam who couldn't leave in time.
There are many gossip and entertainment reporters among these people, once they saw Sam and Shen Zhangqing going in and out together, they immediately smelled something strange: "Mr. Sam, you and Mr. Shen have met quite a lot these days, may I ask what kind of relationship you have with Mr. Shen?"
For a certain group of the public who just want to watch, they will want to see the classic, if cheesy, scene of the prince rescuing the suffering Cinderella from her predicament, which is very much to the taste of the general public.
Sam did not intend to cater to such tastes and put on the airs of an English gentleman, saying haughtily, "We've only met a few times. But I deeply sympathize with Mr. Shen's encounters over the years, and at the same time, I have deep admiration for his endurance."
A number of the journalists in the room showed disappointment.
Sam noticed their reactions and smiled bitterly in his mind helplessly.
...... They have absolutely no idea what kind of person Shen Zhangqing is.
To people like Shen Zhangqing, he only dares to respect, never dare to approach.
Slipping nimbly into the courtyard Chi Xiaochi slowed her pace and slowly made her way to the main building.
Since entering, 061 couldn't help but laugh, his voice warm with a little bit of sand in it, pleasant to the ear.
Chi Xiaochi : "...... what to laugh at."
061: "Nothing."
Chi Xiaochi : "...... That was tactical just now, you can't push Sam too hard."
061: "Well, tactical."
Chi Xiaochi : "...... Not because you said to be gentle."
061: "Well, no,"
Chi Xiaochi : "...... You're so annoying, can I request to turn off your voice system for an hour."
061 laughs, "Okay, I won't bother."
As he spoke, one person and one system walked to the front of the villa's main building.
The door was pulled open from the inside, and the slightly haggard and hardly frightened face of Isong appeared.
He timidly said, "...... Shen, Mr. Shen."
Chi Xiaochi re-enters the cage, but no longer as a prisoner.
He didn't give Isong a hard time, just asked lightly, "Is there any beef in the house?"
Isong: "There's ...... there is. And macaroni."
Chi Xiaochi rolled up his sleeves, "Get things ready. I'll cook with my own hands."
Half an hour later, Chi Xiaochi walks into the kitchen and cooks himself his first meal in the world.
He needed to feed himself well because there was so much more waiting for him to do.
In the intensive care unit of the hospital, Zhou Kai opens his eyes in pain.
The caretaker had gone to the restroom, thus leaving him alone in the ward.
Along with his consciousness came the sensation of pain.
He cursed out of his mouth, "Holy shit!!!"
Zhou Kai struggled, and while his upper body was in intense pain, he also realized that his lower body was senseless.
This feeling of being completely derailed caused him to instantly panic, wriggling like a loach on the bed and shouting out of breath, "Somebody! Someone come quickly!!!"
