Star of tomorrow

Ji Xing stuffed the last bite of meat bun into his mouth while turning up the volume of the TV.

"...According to our reporter's interview, Hongfei Group denied that the person who jumped from the Golden Triangle building last night was related to the demolition. The specific situation will not be revealed until the police report the news..."

Ji Xing blinked, and said unexpectedly: "Golden Triangle? Jumping off a building? When did it happen?"

On the TV, the relevant person in charge of Hongfei Group pushed away the camera, frowned and said: "No comment, please let me thank you..."

"Mr. Hu! One last question! There are rumors that the person who jumped off the building published a suicide note on the Internet, which involves Mr. Ji's youngest son, Ji Xing. Is this true?"

The answer to the reporter was a loud slam of the door.

Ji Xing felt that he was hallucinating, and stared at the screen in a daze but couldn't recover. Almost at the same time, his mobile phone rang in a hurry, and the caller ID was Su Changyu.

Qi Chen also came out of the kitchen. He was still wearing an apron, holding a dishcloth in one hand and a cell phone in the other. He frowned and said, "Something happened to Xu Shuo."

"Who?"

"Xu Shuo." Qi Chen was also very surprised. He looked up and saw the news on TV, and asked after only a few glances, "He left a suicide note on the Internet?"

Ji Xing had a bad feeling: "To be honest, I just want to disconnect from the Internet now."

But what has to be faced still has to be faced.

Surprises are what I love most in life, but Ji Xing guesses that "it" shouldn't be able to tell the difference between surprise and shock.

Ji Xing picked up the phone, said "Hello" with a half-sound in his mouth, and was blocked back by Su Changyu's non-stop words.

"Damn it, I'm really convinced! Who are the people in the Golden Triangle? Can't they die cleanly? What kind of grudge does he have against you? He even dragged you temporarily? He was really wronged." It's gone! No one in this world lives better than him, and he is the only one living in a desperate situation?!"

Su Changyu seemed to be furious, and even scolded for a minute without panting. Ji Xing turned on the speaker and Qi Chen looked at each other with complicated expressions, and interrupted him helplessly: "Stop, stop for a while. Little Zuo? Xiao Zuo, are you by the side? Tell Brother Su to stop and look for his switch!"

Su Changyu finally took a breath, gulped down a big glass of water, and said, "What should we do now?"

Ji Xing said dryly, "I just woke up."

I mean, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Su Changyu: "..."

Oh, love makes people stupid, makes people dull, makes people mentally retarded.

Su Changyu looked at the time: "It's already ten o'clock!"

"Sounds like you can get up before ten o'clock?"

Su Changyu: "..."

Qi Chen couldn't help interrupting the two of them, trying to bring the topic back to the right track: "Xu Shuo left a suicide note when he jumped off the building? When did it happen?"

"I jumped off the building last night, and the suicide note was posted on Weibo in the morning." Su Changyu said, "Don't read the content of the suicide note, it can make people angry. I have already asked someone to delete it." The posthumous letter has been removed from the hot search, I am afraid that someone will take this opportunity to make trouble, which will be bad for you."

After all, no matter what Sheng Yanjie wanted to target Qi Chen, he couldn't move Ji Xing anyway, but this matter was different - Ji Xing was mentioned in the suicide note, and the person who left the suicide note was still dead.

The living can't confront the dead, especially the Internet will magnify things. Even if Xu Shuo was not a good person in his lifetime, the dead are the most important. People who don't know him will naturally regard him as the weak side, and Ji Xing, even the Ji family It will become a representative of the powerful oppressing the weak.

Don't people nowadays like to watch this kind of drama?It doesn't matter who dies, what matters is who he represents—as the saying goes, if you are weak, you are justified, and if you are strong, you deserve it.

"What did he write?" Ji Xing frowned.

Su Changyu said angrily: "He said his dream was ruined by you."

Ji Xing: "Huh?"

"He said that he has done a lot and paid a lot for his dream... It doesn't matter how you say it. In short, the central idea is that the whole world is sorry for him. He was wronged, and he was wronged. You are obviously capable of helping him, but you stand by and do nothing. In the end, he was forced to believe the liar, and he was burdened with usury... the money that was said to be plastic surgery

Not only did it disfigure him, but the wound was infected, and the interest rate is now more than 30.He couldn't afford the follow-up surgery and medical expenses, so he had to die.He said that it was you who killed him, and those who denied him, refused to admit him, and laughed at him are all murderers. "

Ji Xing: "..."

Qi Chen rubbed his temples and said, "How's the situation online?"

"Someone is operating behind the scenes. When I found out, it was already on the top of the hot search. Hongfei Group's official blog and Uncle Ji's personal Weibo were all compromised. It's really a group of people who watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal. They don't distinguish between indiscriminate Just scold people..."

Not many people in Ji Xing's Weibo circle know about it, and it won't be exposed in a short time, but it won't be certain after a long time.

At the same time, the Weibo accounts of the eldest sister Zhao Xiaoyue and the second brother Ji Wenfeng were also implicated. Cyber ​​violence found a seemingly "reasonable" channel for some people to vent their darkness on another group of unrelated people.

The power of the group effect is powerful, and those who participate in cyber violence may even feel that they are on the side of justice—after all, there are many people, and many voices are like holding the truth.

The funny thing is, if whichever side has the loudest voice represents justice and absolute correctness, what else do laws and police do in the world?

Ji Xing didn't go online to read the news, and then received calls from his elder sister and second brother. Naturally, his family members were worried that he would feel wronged if he was implicated innocently, but in fact Ji Xing's mentality was not bad, maybe it was because he was with Xu Shuo after all. I am an old acquaintance", knowing his character and way of doing things, I am not surprised.

The only surprise is that he actually chose to commit suicide.To be honest, Ji Xing has no sense of reality until now, and even finds it a little funny.

Maybe everyone has such a bottom line in their hearts. If you don't reach the lowest point, you can steal a life by idling for a while, but when you reach the lowest point, you can't survive anyway.

In the afternoon, Ji Xing will accompany Qi Chen to practice to prepare for the next day's finals.They cannot be distracted now.

After leaving the long street, the two naturally walked towards the accident site reported in the news.

The normally lively street looked very deserted today. When we arrived at the place where Xu Shuo jumped off the building, there was a cordon around him. Except for the grocery store opposite, no other nearby shops were open.

Aunt Liu and Marlboro also stood outside the cordon. Aunt Liu's eyes were red, and she put a bunch of white chrysanthemums under the cordon.

Marlboro actually bought white chrysanthemums and put them together with Aunt Liu's.

Marlboro lit a cigarette, blew out the smoke quietly, and looked up at the roof with half-closed eyes.When Aunt Liu saw the two coming over, she wiped her eyes and said, "Xiao Xu... Is there anything I can't discuss with everyone? If you don't call the police, if you don't want to find a solution, just use this method to solve it..."

Aunt Liu didn't surf the Internet, didn't know the suicide note left by Xu Shuo, and kept talking about things like "Aren't you afraid of living even if you're not afraid of death?" in a tone full of regret.Marlboro knew about the Internet, so he took a look at Ji Xing and said in a low voice: "You really have something to do with that Ji family, are you really?"

Ji Xing didn't hide it either, and acquiesced.

Marlboro clicked his tongue a few times, and said with a cigarette in his mouth: "What are you doing here? Are you watching our jokes? Or are you looking for news for your father? I said why the Ji family didn't agree to the price I gave, so you are here."

Ji Xing glanced at him, and remembered that his father said before that the demolition matter was basically settled, and the last few nail houses were also settled by a person from the Golden Triangle, but the lion opened his mouth when asking the price, which his father did not agree to.

Ji Xing said: "I don't care about demolition, don't think too much about it."

Marlboro doesn't quite believe it. Does it make sense for a good young master not to come to the Golden Triangle?

If there is another purpose, who would believe it?

It's just that Marlboro is very knowledgeable and never gets entangled in meaningless things. Now that he knows that Ji Xing is the young master of the Ji family, of course his thigh is firmly held.

Marlboro looked complicated, and pointed to the inside of the warning line: "This boy, as long as he is well-informed and can be a man, he won't end up like this. He has the thickest thigh in front of him. With this kind of luck, he may not be able to do it again. It happened. It's a pity."

Marlboro shook his head straight, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that fate was impermanent, and he muttered: "

It's a pity. "

Ji Xing didn't answer, staring at the almost dark black marks on the ground - most of the bloodstains were washed away by the rain that night, leaving only a small piece, and after a few days, even this trace would not be left.No one will remember Xu Shuo anywhere.

Xu Shuo has also been in the Golden Triangle for so many years, and he came out to make a living in his teens.According to his own statement, he has always felt that his destiny is different from others, so he must be able to do something great.

Ji Xing once felt funny about his inexplicable self-confidence, but now he can't laugh.

A person who was fine before, if he said no, he would be gone.It wasn't until this moment that Ji Xing finally had a sense of reality.

He and Xu Shuo didn't get along because they were originally different people with completely different ideas.

He despises that the other party is not enterprising, only speaks big words, and only daydreams. Even if there is another chance, no matter how good the opportunity is in front of that "dreamer", it is estimated that the other party will just miss it .

There are many excuses and reasons for Xu Shuo to deceive himself and others. He never forgets to blame others, and he is unwilling to reflect on himself until he dies.

But after all, he had truly lived, after all, he was once a fresh life.

Aunt Liu still had a stall to attend to, so she left without waiting, and Marlboro muttered a few words to herself before leaving.The surrounding area was very deserted. At the entrance of the grocery store opposite, the boss sat on a chair and looked at this side with a blank expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.

Maybe he was regretting the impermanence of life, maybe he remembered that Xu Shuo had bought things from him, maybe he was complaining that because of Xu Shuo's death, the business had deteriorated.

Ji Xing looked around, thinking a little confused: That's it?If a person dies so suddenly, is that the impact and impact?

But he couldn't think of a reason why.

Qi Chen put his arms around his shoulders and led him away. On the way, he met Mazi and his group, all of whom were gangsters who had close contacts with Xu Shuo.Is it buddy?Ji Xing didn't know, but he saw that Mazi's eyes were red, and other people's faces were also gloomy. When they saw Ji Xing, they passed by without raising their eyes, and someone deliberately bumped Ji Xing's shoulder.

Mazi also ignored him.Ji Xing guessed that several people probably saw news about themselves on the Internet.

Ji Xing and most of the people in the Golden Triangle don't have a deep relationship. Qi Chen was very moved when these people came to cheer him on during the competition, but that's all.

The two passed by the Internet cafe where Ji Xing worked part-time. The boss changed into a vest and underpants, wore cotton trousers and a cotton jacket, and wore a pair of black gloves to wash the carpet in front of the door.The black water flowed down the steps. The boss saw Ji Xing and called him, "Hey! Are you really the young master of Hongfei Group?"

Everyone in the Internet cafe poked their heads out of the window and looked at him expressionlessly.

There was no emotion of curiosity, hostility, novelty, envy, jealousy, hatred, etc., just looked at him expressionlessly, as if he had nothing to do with them.

Of course it didn't matter at all.

Ji Xing felt a little complicated.

Qi Chen slightly blocked Ji Xing, and the boss shouted from behind: "Is it true that all the businesses will be moved out a year ago?"

Ji Xing didn't answer, he didn't know these things.

The boss shouted: "Go back and tell your dad! He was the one who pushed Xu Shuo down the stairs! You rich people don't have any good things!"

Ji Xing stopped abruptly.

Qi Chen frowned and turned around: "This has nothing to do with the Ji family."

"It's all written in Xu Shuo's suicide note, what's the matter? You still think that if you can remove the trending search, others will not know? People are doing it, and God is watching!" The boss sneered, "During that time, I still watched you interview Xu Shuo every day. Shuo, what am I supposed to be doing, just to force him to death?"

Ji Xing pushed Qi Chen away and walked up to the boss: "These are two different things. I was working at the time, and I also paid him."

"Yo, then why did he jump off the building?"

"That's his business."

"Listen!" the boss said to the people in the Internet cafe, "You are young, and your heart is as cold as a stone. These rich people never take other people's lives for themselves!"

If it was before, Ji Xing might be about to jump now.He may be wronged, angry, and puzzled.Because he did nothing wrong, but he still

To be accused, because of his birth, his family, he does not have the right to "own himself".This is what he has always wanted to escape and get rid of before.

But now he understands that people can't understand each other, if they don't even get the basic respect, they are just passers-by, so there is no need to waste their thoughts in vain.There is no need to be angry and wronged.

Because the other party will not understand his grievances, and even feel that he is acting.

Ji Xing took a deep breath and smiled: "Why should I take other people's lives as my own?"

The boss probably didn't expect to hear such "rebellious" remarks, and was stunned.

Ji Xingdao: "Shouldn't I be responsible for my own life? Why let others be responsible?"

"you!"

Ji Xing stopped talking, and pulled Qi Chen away. When he was far away, he could still hear the boss yelling: "I thought this kid was not a good person at first! Xu Shuo always stole from me, did I say anything? When everyone has a difficult time, I can let him go, you see, haven't you been okay for so many years?"

"What about him? He calls the police as soon as he comes, and threatens others at every turn! This kind of person, if anyone touches him, he will find a lawyer! He really treats himself as a dish!"

I don't know what others said, but the boss couldn't help agreeing: "Yes! How big is it to give in to each other? ... What? No money to surf the Internet? You get off the plane quickly, the store doesn't accept credit! Hurry up!"

The matter spread faster than expected. When the two arrived at the club, Wang Haiyang and the others knew about it.

Wang Haiyang was afraid of affecting Qi Chen's mood, so he was relieved when he saw that the mentality of the two was okay.

"My second brother and his friends are looking into this matter. He is the only one who is not causing much trouble. There should be pushers behind him." Qi Chen went to training, and Ji Xing was drinking tea in the office, "Don't worry, Qi Chen has a sense of propriety and will not make mistakes."

"It's better for you to live outside today, and don't go back to the Golden Triangle." Wang Haiyang suggested, "If his family finds him, he won't be able to tell."

Ji Xing was thoughtful, and suddenly said: "Coach Wang, do you know Qi Chen's ex-boyfriend?"

Wang Haiyang nodded: "Yes, he was his assistant before. After the accident, he also resigned. Later, I heard that he opened a gym."

Or a high-end gym.

Ji Xing touched his chin: "Are you familiar with his family?"

Ji Xing was also suddenly reminded by Wang Haiyang that they checked many people at that time, including this ex-boyfriend of course. Although the other party's money for opening a gym was very suspicious, the specific accounts were not something they could check. .

Especially when the source of the money is not known, the scope is too large - after all, there are too many suspicious people, just related agreements, directors, competitors, and Black Lion Club. very big.

When Wang Haiyang mentioned that Xu Shuo's family would come to make trouble, he suddenly thought of it: Right?What about the ex-boyfriend's family?Do they know where the money came from?Maybe starting from family members is a good clue?

Wang Haiyang listened to Ji Xing's thoughts and nodded thoughtfully: "You can check it out. When he first came to work as an assistant, he didn't have much money, and his family background was very ordinary. If he suddenly received a large sum of money, his family would not be happy. Probably not."

Xiao Dong was also in the club, watching Qi Chen boxing on the stage, and asked, "What's the matter with that Xu?"

"I don't know." Qi Chen said, "Maybe it's because the money hasn't been paid yet."

Qi Chen took a breath, leaned against the guardrail and wiped the sweat off his face, the sparring partner made a "pause" gesture to change hands, Xiao Dong lay on the side of the ring and looked at him: "Is Xiao Ji okay? When something happens, hey, I guess it’s hard to tell.”

"If you can't explain clearly, I won't talk about it." Qi Chen has deep eyebrows, looks very handsome under the spotlight, his side face looks resolute and heroic, and said slowly, "I trust him, his family and friends trust him, that's enough."

Xiao Dong laughed: "Hey, you knew he was the young master of the Ji family? How did you know each other? No wonder you treat him so well."

How did you meet?

Qi Chen remembered how Ji Xing was leaning against the wall when he was drunk, and smiled, but didn't answer.

When the training was over, Qi Chen rushed to

He went out with Ji Xing with a luggage bag in his hand, and Ji Xing was discussing with him that he might as well find a hotel near the competition venue to stay for one night, which would save him a lot of time the next day.

As a result, as soon as he went downstairs, he heard a lot of noise in the street. Wang Haiyang rushed down from the upstairs and hurriedly said, "Suddenly a group of reporters came! Don't go this way! Go to the safe exit..."

Before he finished speaking, someone looked up from the stairs and shouted, "It's here! It's really here!"

A group of people rushed up, and the narrow corridor was instantly filled with people.

The flash, the camera, and the phone with the recording turned on almost hit Ji Xing's face. Qi Chen hugged him in his arms and said angrily, "What are you doing!"

Wang Haiyang, Xiao Dong and others also came down to help.

But the corridor was not wide at all, Qi Chen and Ji Xing were surrounded in the middle, unable to go up or down, almost unable to move a step.

"Ji Xing? You are Ji Xing, right?"

"When did you return to China? Where were you when Xu Shuo jumped off the building?"

"How did you know Xu Shuo? Was it through your sister's connections in the entertainment industry?"

"Did he not get the show because he offended you?"

"Is the demolition of the Golden Triangle the last straw for Xu Shuo? Have you participated in this project?"

The noisy questioning made Ji Xing unable to hear what they were saying at all, and felt his ears chirping, as if ten thousand ducks were singing in unison.

He covered his ears and was held in Qi Chen's arms. Qi Chen threw the luggage bag into the crowd, and while the crowd was dodging, he forced a few people away and walked upstairs protecting Ji Xing.

People kept pulling Qi Chen's clothes and Ji Xing's pants. The two of them were in a panic. Ji Xing took off his jacket and wanted to cover Qi Chen's face, fearing that Qi Chen would be recognized and cause trouble, but he didn't expect Qi Chen to be completely unaware. Caring, she pulled his hand down with anger in her eyes.He put his clothes on Ji Xing's head and glared at everyone, "He doesn't know anything!"

"Xu Shuo's death has nothing to do with him!"

"If I know that you are spreading rumors! Even if I lose everything, I will sue you all to jail!"
