Chapter 35: 煃

"The hostage case that happened now is closely related to the 'South City Sexual Assault Case' some time ago. The hostage is the defendant in the 'South City Sexual Assault Case', and the kidnapper is the plaintiff's husband. We have received some news that the kidnapper is not asking for money, and the specific purpose is still unclear..."

The reporter was wearing a raincoat and earphones, standing in front of the unfinished building, tracking the news as soon as possible. Before he could finish his words, he heard a commotion behind him. The police were tying up Qin Nan, who was covered in wounds. Someone shouted, "The police are coming!"

The reporter turned around and ran towards Qin Nan and the police.

"Sir, may I ask why you kidnapped Mr. Fan?"

"Make way."

The police pushed the reporters away, and Qin Nan was put into the police car. Then he saw Ye Sibei being supported by Ye Nianwen and others. Ye Sibei was covered in mud, and Lin Feng and others were protecting her. The reporter hurried over and asked, "Ms. Ye, do you know the specific motive of your husband's crime this time?"

"Are you guys annoying?"

Ye Nianwen yelled at the reporter in annoyance. Ye Sibei paused for a moment, then turned to look at the reporter: "I'll find a chance to explain it clearly. You can contact me on Weibo."

"sister?"

Ye Nianwen was a little surprised. Ye Sibei did not respond to him. She trotted to the police car. Qin Nan was sitting in the car. The two of them looked at each other quietly through the glass window.

"Don't worry," Ye Sibei looked at him with a firm gaze, "I will take care of everything. I will be fine and wait for you to come back safely."

Qin Nan didn't say anything. He looked at her for a long time, then stretched out his handcuffed fist and gently placed the bloodstained fist on her face.

He said nothing as usual, but at that moment, Ye Sibei saw thousands of words in his eyes.

Some people are silent because they have nothing to say.

Some people are silent because they talk too much and cannot express themselves.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Zhang Yong came over: "Let's go first, he is injured and needs to be identified."

Ye Sibei nodded, and the police car took Qin Nan away. A moment later, Lin Feng also drove back in a car: "Come on, let's go first."

Lin Feng, Zhao Chuchu and Ye Nianwen sent Ye Sibei home together. Ye Sibei was very calm along the way. Zhao Chuchu sat next to her, her heart trembling the whole time.

The image that kept coming into her mind was of Qin Nan raising his head, being pinned to the ground, and Ye Sibei kneeling on the ground crying.

Those scenes played over and over in her mind. There was a faint voice in her heart, but she didn't dare. She struggled.

Seeing Lin Feng's car approaching her house, Zhao Chuchu clenched her fists and spoke with some fear: "Sister."

"Um?"

"How is it?" Zhao Chuchu raised her head and said with great difficulty, "I mean how is it?"

"What?"

"If I do something wrong, will you think I am a bad person?"

Hearing this, Ye Sibei was stunned. She looked at Zhao Chuchu, who had tears in her eyes. She looked at her with fear and guilt. Ye Sibei stared at the girl for a long time, and then she shook her head gently: "No."

"But I..."

"I used to have a hard time getting along with my parents." Ye Sibei knew what she was going to say. She looked at the busy streets and said, "Actually, the most important reason is that I always entangle their good and bad sides together."

"When they treat me badly, I will think of their goodness, so I can't reject them; but when they treat me well, I will think of their badness, so I can't love them thoroughly. I love and hate them. So I work hard every day, I hope that by accepting their badness, I can make them love me from the bottom of their hearts and become the kind of parents I want."

Ye Nianwen sat in the front row. He looked at the two girls behind him through the mirror in the middle of the car. Zhao Chuchu asked blankly, "Then what?"

“Then one day, I finally accepted it.”

Ye Sibei turned to look at her and smiled gently: "I accept that they have both bad and good sides. These are two different things. They can appear in one person, but I cannot confuse them. When facing a person, the bad ones should be rejected, but the good ones will not be erased because of the bad ones."

"Then according to you, are there bad people in this world?"

Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh when listening to Ye Sibei's remarks. Ye Sibei thought: "The reason why people are bad is not because they make mistakes, but because they make mistakes and don't turn back."

"And I know Zhao Chuchu," Ye Sibei turned to look at Zhao Chuchu, "she will come back."

Zhao Chuchu looked at Ye Sibei, tears in her eyes, and said nothing.

In just a moment, Lin Feng parked the car and said, "We're here."

Zhao Chuchu forced herself to look away. She controlled herself, stretched out her hand to open the car door, and got out of the car with difficulty. The car started again, and Ye Nianwen sat in the passenger seat. He kept looking at Zhao Chuchu.

He saw Zhao Chuchu hugging him and seemed to be crying. She walked up the stairs crying. Ye Nianwen watched from a distance. He didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly called Lin Feng: "Officer Lin, please stop for a moment."

Lin Feng stopped the car in a hurry, and Ye Nianwen said hello to Ye Sibei: "Sister, I'm going to find Chuchu."

"‌… "

Before Ye Sibei could finish his words, he saw Ye Nianwen running back.

Lin Feng turned around and said, "How about leaving first?"

Ye Sibei hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Let's go first."

It wasn't a long distance, Ye Nianwen ran all the way towards Zhao Chuchu, and before Zhao Chuchu stepped onto the stairs, he grabbed her: "Chuchu!"

Zhao Chuchu looked back blankly, her face full of tears. She looked at Ye Nianwen, who was panting heavily: "I'll take you... I'll take you to surrender."

"Turn yourself in?"

Zhao Chuchu spoke hoarsely, and Ye Nianwen nodded: "Yes, you are right, you are a person, and so am I."

"We are all selfish, we all make mistakes, but it's okay to make mistakes. We can only start a new life if we change. If we don't change, it will be in our hearts forever."

"It's a mistake, let's make amends. I'll accompany you this time."

Zhao Chuchu burst into tears. Ye Nianwen stood on the steps where he confessed his love that year. He looked up at her and said, "I will surrender with you. I will wait for you to be released from prison. When you come back, you will still be Zhao Chuchu."

"I'm sorry, I wasn't there during your most difficult time." Ye Nianwen's eyes were red. "From now on, I will never tell you that you went to a drinking party again. I will pick you up every day. I will never tell you that it's not good to wear a skirt again. I will stay with you when you wear a skirt. We will work hard together. I will take you to a place where you can freely choose your career, wear the skirt you like, and put on makeup. Others will only say that Zhao Chuchu is not beautiful."

"If it happens again," Ye Nianwen choked up, "I must give you more courage and let you know that it's okay to make a few mistakes in life. If there weren't so many accusations, if I could give you a little courage," Ye Nianwen looked at her expectantly, "You will definitely stand up, right?"

Zhao Chuchu didn't say anything. She looked at the young man in front of her, who she always thought was like a child. He seemed to have grown up suddenly and suddenly knew all the joys and sorrows of the world.

After a long while, she started laughing.

"I will." She nodded desperately with tears in her eyes, "If it happens again, I will stand up."

Every time you try to cover up your mistakes, you will slide deeper into the abyss.

However, the moment she placed her body in Ye Nianwen's arms, even though she knew that her future fate might be imprisonment and accusations, she finally felt relieved for the first time in the past six months.

She returned home and took out the bottle of medicine that she had kept for a long time and didn't know whether to throw it away or not, and walked to the police station hand in hand with Ye Nianwen.

"My name is Zhao Chuchu, and I'm the key witness in the previous sexual assault case involving Fuqiang Real Estate."

Facing the police officer who received her at the police station, Zhao Chuchu smiled and said, "I'm here to turn myself in."

It was several days later that the news that Zhao Chuchu submitted new evidence and testimony and was arrested for perjury reached Ye Sibei.

The case of Qin Nan kidnapping Fan Jiancheng caused an uproar on the Internet, and the video of Fan Jiancheng admitting his mistake was also uploaded by Ye Sibei. Although many people believed that Qin Nan's behavior was torture, this case, which had already been concluded, finally had a reversal.

Many netizens began to question—

If this case is fair, why would Qin Nan risk his life to ask for an apology

Reporters began to look for new news content everywhere. Ye Sibei contacted reporters while asking around for news about Qin Nan.

She heard that Qin Nan was injured and admitted to the hospital, and a case was filed for intentional homicide. At the same time, all those who participated in the fight that night were also arrested.

As a family member, she cannot visit Qin Nan now, but they can apply for bail after the case is investigated.

She didn't know why she used to be flustered, but now that Qin Nan was not around, she felt more stable.

She was ready for everything, she knew what she had to do now—

She promised Qin Nan that she would take care of everything.

So after actively communicating with reporters many times, she agreed with Yangtao Media, one of the media with the largest traffic, to do an exclusive interview. This interview will be broadcast live, and questions from netizens will be directly selected on the spot to be answered.

Regarding this method, Yang Tao’s staff once expressed their concerns about her condition: “Ms. Ye, if you directly draw questions from netizens, some questions on the spot may be sensitive, and you will face greater pressure. We still recommend…”

"It's okay," Ye Sibei interrupted him, "I'm prepared."

The problem will not be solved just because she doesn't face it. To her, answering those mild questions is meaningless.

After confirming the interview format, Yangtao Media released the news online in advance that she would conduct a live interview in the live broadcast room.

This case has gone through several twists and turns and has long been a hot topic on the Internet. Ye Sibei decided to come forward, and people speculated a lot. Some netizens joked that Ye Sibei might be planning to make his debut.

Ye Sibei didn't care too much about these online speculations. She waited quietly until the day of the interview. Yangtao Media specially rented their venue from Nancheng TV Station. Ye Sibei arrived at the live broadcast room of Nancheng TV Station early and had her makeup put on by the staff backstage.

It was her first time facing such an occasion, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After the makeup artist gave her a simple plain makeup, the staff briefly explained the process to her. She nodded, and the staff went to work.

She was sitting alone in the backstage when her cell phone suddenly rang. Ye Sibei picked up the phone and heard Lin Feng excitedly say, "Sibei, I want to talk to you about something."

"Say it."

"A few days ago, Zhao Chuchu turned herself in to the police and submitted new evidence. The case can now be retried."

Ye Sibei was slightly stunned, and Lin Feng continued to tell her: "Also, we are now checking the transaction records of those drug dealers, and we will find evidence soon. Sibei, we will definitely win this time."

Ye Sibei stood there, she felt like crying. She held the phone in silence for a long time, then said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you."

It was almost time for the live broadcast to start, and the staff came to call Ye Sibei: "Ms. Ye, you can come now."

Ye Sibei nodded. She looked back at herself in the mirror and after confirming that her makeup was not smudged, she put on a mask, stood up and walked out.

There were some staff members in the hall. There was a table in the middle with the Yangtao Media logo and an iPad on it. The live broadcast seemed to have begun. A reporter was sitting behind the table. When he saw Ye Sibei coming over, he quickly stood up and shook hands with Ye Sibei: "Hello, Miss Ye. I am Chen Hui, the reporter for this interview."

"Okay."

Ye Sibei nodded, shook hands with Chen Hui, and sat down.

Chen Hui looked at Ye Sibei who seemed nervous, and she smiled: "I heard that today's broadcast was originally a recorded broadcast, but it was Miss Ye who took the initiative to propose a live broadcast, and was willing to accept questions from netizens?"

"yes."

Ye Sibei nodded, and she unconsciously stroked her fingers alternately. Chen Hui cautiously probed: "You know there are a lot of criticisms about you on the Internet now. Aren't you worried that some questions may be difficult to answer?"

Ye Sibei shook her head: "I've seen too much." She looked up at Chen Hui, "But I think that since Fan Jiancheng can be on the show, I have nothing to worry about."

"But I think you're nervous?"

Chen Hui asked again: "Is it okay?"

"no problem."

Ye Sibei encouraged himself, and Chen Hui nodded: "Okay, then our interview will officially begin. Before that, what kind of comments do you think will be made in the live broadcast room?"

"They think I'm hyping it up, I'm lying, I'm framing others, or they think I'm shameless for discussing something sex-related."

After hearing this, Chen Hui nodded to show her understanding. Then she turned the iPad on the table facing her to face Ye Sibei.

"Come on," Chen Hui pointed at the iPad with a smile, "say hello to the audience?"

When Ye Sibei's eyes fell on the iPad, a barrage of comments with white text appeared first. As she expected, there were some comments questioning her, accusing her of hype, and asking her to get out.

However, just at the moment when she was stunned, the live broadcast room suddenly started to swipe at the bullet screen. The bullet screen was so dense that it was almost impossible to see the words on it, but Ye Sibei still carefully identified them. It vaguely said: "Come on, Sibei, Sibei is undefeated."

Someone seemed to have spent a large sum of money as a reward. The words turned into big bright red letters, which read: "I have always believed in Ye Sibei!!!"

Ye Sibei stared at the screen blankly, his eyes unconsciously reddened.

Nothing is more touching than unexpected kindness.

The world can show as much good as it can evil.

Ye Sibei has never felt it more clearly than at this moment.

This is no longer the world described by Huang Guifen and many people in Nancheng. This generation of young people is more gentle and courageous than she and many people imagined.

Chen Hui looked at her quietly. She saw Ye Sibei trying hard to hold back tears. She held onto her iPad and asked, "How do you feel now?"

"Actually..." Ye Sibei smiled and tears came down. She wiped her eyes and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Chen Hui handed her a tissue, "Relax a little, the situation is actually better than you thought, right?"

Ye Sibei nodded, wiped her tears with a tissue, and smiled gratefully: "Actually, I was very nervous just now. Although I felt that I should say something, I was still very nervous when I really had to face it."

"But now?"

"Now I suddenly feel," Ye Sibei smiled a little embarrassedly, "after taking the first step, it doesn't seem so difficult."

"Then say hello to the camera?"

Hearing this, Ye Sibei looked at the densely packed comments. She stared at the encouraging words and said hoarsely: "Hello everyone, I am Ye Sibei."
