"Okay, okay, I don't disbelieve you." Seeing that Zhang Bingnan was agitated, Liang Junyao hurriedly comforted him, "I'll send you back to rest first, and the notice will be postponed for a while, I will tell your manager."

"Hmm." Zhang Bingnan stared at Liang Junyao eagerly, "I'm a little hungry, let's go eat, okay?"

Liang Junyao saw that it was indeed getting late, and helped him to stand up, "Let's go, let's eat first."

Zhang Bingnan's legs and feet are inconvenient now, Liang Junyao didn't take anyone out, but ordered delivery from the restaurant, and it was delivered within a few minutes after they arrived at the apartment, and it was already past nine o'clock when they settled down.

He was still thinking about Zhou Wanshang, so he didn't stay any longer, "Go to bed early, your assistant will bring you breakfast tomorrow morning, be obedient these two days, don't go out and run around, and take your medicine on time."

Zhang Bingnan nodded obediently, and tried to ask: "Can you not leave?"

Liang Junyao laughed, "You are so grown up, are you afraid of sleeping alone?"

Zhang Bingnan lowered his head, his voice muffled, "No, I just feel... quite insecure."

Liang Junyao is always easy to soften his heart when facing a big boy like his younger brother. He rubbed his head, "It's okay, don't worry about today's affairs. I'll talk to your brother. It's good to talk about some things. Go to bed early. Contact me anytime if you need anything."

"Ah."

Before leaving, Liang Junyao thought of another thing, "Have you been in contact with Wu Sizhao recently?"

"No, I haven't contacted him since you told me last time."

"Okay, stay away from him in the future."

"understood."

Leaving Zhang Bingnan's apartment, Liang Junyao, who was done with one end, sent a message to Zhou Wanshang again, but he didn't reply for a long time, so he called again, but no one answered after several calls, and he didn't know if he was busy or on purpose.

While driving towards the suburbs, he called Zhou Wanshang's assistant, but the other party picked it up quickly, "Are you all done?"

"We quit work soon after you left, and we didn't see him again after we arrived at the hotel and returned to the room."

"Please go and check the situation. I haven't been able to contact him." Liang Junyao was quite worried about Zhou Wanshang's mental state, and now he remembered the huge personality change of this man, he always had doubts in his heart, and his right eyelid kept twitching.

He knew that he shouldn't be superstitious, but he was anxious in his heart.

The assistant didn't hang up the phone, so he went to the next door and knocked on the door. Zhou Wanshang answered the door this time, and Liang Junyao was relieved through the phone. He wanted to say a few words to someone, but the harsh sound of the door closing greeted him.

After dismissing the awkward assistant, Liang Junyao called Zhou Wanshang again, but still no one answered.

He also repeated the call, and walked to the door of the hotel room with the supper bought at the 24-hour restaurant. He knocked on the door and called again. Thank God, he finally got through this time.

He probably used up what little patience he had left on this.

Liang Junyao's voice was inevitably a little tired, "I'm at the door, bringing you a midnight snack, open the door, let's talk."

"...Go back and rest."

"Turn the merchant!"

"Since you believe in him, why bother to ask me, my brother is important, I understand."

"What kind of jealousy are you? I said that I only think of him as a younger brother, and there is absolutely no other way of thinking."

"I told you a long time ago, you can tell me like this, and I can believe it, but Zhang Bingnan himself, others, do they believe your words? Besides, Liang Junyao, don't be too self-righteous, some things are not yours If you want to change, change it, let it go.”

"impossible."

"It's impossible for me and him to get along well. I'm selfish and withdrawn and unreasonable. Zhang Bingnan is arrogant and irritable. How can we get along well? Don't waste your time."

Liang Junyao leaned against the door frame and bent his back slightly. Zhou Wanshang's words made him a little dazed. It was obvious that both parties wanted to get along well, so why couldn't they talk well, and he was caught in the middle, which was a dilemma.

What he should have thought earlier was that he had brought it upon himself.

He closed his eyes and sighed, "Wan Shang, you open the door, you haven't eaten yet, eat something, I won't say anything else."

"……Let's go back."

Liang Junyao hadn't been rejected by Zhou Wanshang's cold words before, and he felt uncomfortable, "Don't be like this..."

And what answered him was a short notification tone when the phone was hung up.

Liang Junyao had never been so powerless.

Zhou Wanshang's attitude is obviously wrong, but he doesn't know how to communicate, the eloquence on the negotiating table is useless at all, yes, those are opponents, these are lovers, how can it be the same.

He put the porridge, pasta, and side dishes at the door, greeted Zhou Wanshang, and returned first. If possible, he wanted to stay and have a good chat with someone the next morning. Some things took time The longer it is, the harder it is to explain, but there is an important meeting in the company tomorrow morning, and he can't be absent.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Liang Junyao returned to the apartment. Louis greeted him as usual, and Charlie followed quietly and squatted beside the slippers. He rubbed each hand, feeling an inexplicable loss in his heart.

Obviously the house is still the same as before, although he felt empty when Zhou Wanshang didn't come back, it was not as empty and cold as it is now, and the warm floor heating didn't help.

No sleep for one night.

Liang Junyao got up early the next morning. He was not in the mood to eat breakfast, so he drank two cups of high-strength black coffee to brace himself for the next meeting—the first large-scale company meeting after the year, so nothing could go wrong.

And he naturally didn't notice Li Jiaxin's expression became more serious when he came back after going out for a while.

A meeting was held from the morning to four in the afternoon and it finally came to an end. The work meal at noon was tasteless. Liang Junyao left the conference hall, squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and took out his mobile phone that was turned to silent. Before he could look at it, he was caught Li Jiaxin stopped.

Seeing the assistant's hesitation, after returning to the office, Liang Junyao sat down before doing his work, opened the folder in his hand, "Let's talk about anything."

Li Jiaxin paused, and said, "This morning, there was news that Director Zhou's documentary filming crew had tortured stray animals to death. It has been listed on the trending search until now, and the Animal Protection Association has intervened in the investigation, and the documentary has also stopped shooting."

Liang Junyao was startled, a little suspicious of what he heard, "Torturing stray animals to death?"

Li Jiaxin looked serious, "That's right, abuse for hype."

"Impossible," Liang Junyao directly denied, "Wan Shang loves animals so much, and the original intention of filming the documentary was also out of love for stray animals. It is absolutely impossible to do such a thing. It must be a frame."

Liang Junyao knew it was impossible without even thinking about it, hype?If Zhou Wanshang really cared about fame and fortune, he wouldn't have been so careless when his movie during the Spring Festival last year was in trouble.

Li Jiaxin nodded slightly, "Although subjectively, we all believe that Director Zhou would not do such a thing, but the facts are in front of us, and the photos are very real."

As Li Jiaxin said, he handed over a folder, and Liang Junyao took it and opened it to look through it. The graphic report was very detailed, photos, screenshots of small videos, and the traces of abuse were indeed very obvious.

The skinny orange cat is lifeless, with a large area of ​​neatly shaved hair on its body, which is obviously man-made. It is bloody and bruised, and it is self-evident that it has been abused.

Liang Junyao was also stunned when he saw it, this one was too similar to the one he rescued with Zhou Wanshang before.

After the previous little orange cat was cured, they found an adopter, and later visited the owner. The owner was very nice, but——it was too similar.

He had saved the contact information of the adoptive owner, and immediately called to ask. The young girl over there had a hoarse voice and cried, saying that the cat had disappeared two days ago.

Liang Junyao was startled, knowing that he was going to suffer, this must be a deliberate smear and targeting.

He looked at Li Jiaxin, "Guide the public opinion before the investigation results come out, don't jump to conclusions so quickly, what kind of personal attack, I will contact Wanshang and the crew to ask about the situation."

Li Jiaxin nodded, "When the news came out, guidance was given, but someone maliciously framed it, and the general public opinion couldn't be controlled, and the condemnation was almost one-sided."

Liang Junyao breathed a sigh of relief, "Do as much as you can."

Now that it's all over, there's no need to blame Li Jiaxin for why he didn't tell him in the morning, that is, what's the use of talking, Zhou Wanshang may be right, some things are done just for psychological comfort.

But the matter is not over yet, and he has a chance to redeem himself.

After Li Jiaxin went out, Liang Junyao got up and walked to the French window, looked at the cold sky outside the window, and called Zhou Wanshang again, but no one answered as expected, and reminded him to turn off the phone when he called the third one up.

His heart also rose with the cold female voice.

Zhou Wanshang likes animals, otherwise he would not have made strenuous and possibly unflattering documentaries on stray animals. When something like this happened, the other party's first priority was not to worry about his reputation being damaged, but to feel sorry for the cat that was abused to death.

And maybe even... yet another disappointment in humanity.

Zhou Wanshang was too transparent about people and things, and was too pessimistic about human nature. If something happened to such a stimulus, he would have no place to regret it.

Zhou Wanshang's emotions and safety are what he is most worried about.

The weather in spring was still bitterly cold, Liang Junyao looked at the low dark clouds, his worries piled up one after another, and his fingers trembling slightly while pressing the phone.

Zhou Wanshang couldn't get through, so he could only contact the other party's assistant.

In the end, he didn't feel at ease, the assistant was in a hurry, and the filming was forced to stop. They were taken away by the Animal Protection Association for questioning. Zhou Wanshang actually came out earlier than them, and he couldn't get in touch with anyone at the moment.

Liang Junyao couldn't stay in the office anymore, where would Zhou Wan Chamber of Commerce go?

He drove away from the company in a hurry, thinking of all the places the other party might go, and looked for them one by one. He also contacted Jiang Hanting, but the other party also had no news of Zhou Wanshang.

They searched along the pet hospital and the director's studio, no matter how anxious Liang Junyao was, there was no news of him.

Still thinking about Louis and Charlie at home, he finally got back to the apartment as the night fell and dark clouds rolled in from the sky.

Looking at Louis who rushed towards him enthusiastically, Liang Junyao's eyes were sour——

It's his bad.

It's his fault that things have developed to this point.
