Chapter 88: Discussing
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Of course we have to discuss it. After all, it involves the family matters of Auntie Ding’s family. Maybe they’re unwilling to reveal their privacy. If that’s the case, I’ll have to consider the extent of my explanation.”
“Hmph, you’re really heartless. If their family hadn’t caused such a huge trouble, why would you have suffered like this?”
Auntie Liu finally revealed her true thoughts. “You were almost killed because of their family. Why are you still getting close to them? Let’s stay away from their family in the future!”
“Mom, I was the one who secretly climbed over the wall to do the live-stream yesterday. You can’t blame them for that,” Liu Jun said helplessly. “They were also the ones who saved my life at the critical moment. It’s fine if you don’t thank them, but why are you blaming them?”
“I don’t blame anyone else, I only blame you…” Auntie Liu threw the rag on the ground indignantly. “Do what you want! I can’t interfere with this anyway!”
Liu Jun went to the Ding Family’s house next door. Ding Chen and Si Huan were the ones who received him. He used to be a carefree young man. Be it when facing an elder like Ding Chen or someone of his age who had an extraordinary aura like Si Huan, he would involuntarily feel nervous.
Ding Chen’s attitude towards Liu Jun was considered friendly. After hearing Liu Jun’s thoughts, he poured him a cup of water and said, “My sister and Tiantian are still resting. Wait for a while. I’ll go call them.”
Liu Jun nodded hurriedly.
After Ding Chen left, only Liu Jun and Si Huan were left. Liu Jun waited uneasily for a long while, but in the end, he could not help but ask, “I took the liberty to live-stream the Ding Family’s matters yesterday. Why doesn’t Uncle Ding seem to be very angry at me?”
Si Huan glanced at the unsettled Liu Jun and comforted him gently, “You don’t have to be so nervous. Although it’s an offense to stream other people’s affairs without authorization, your live-stream provided us with a lot of information. That’s how we could accurately grasp the opportunity to retaliate against the kidnappers.”
Liu Jun didn’t really understand what they were saying and could only nod. “Is that so? So the live-stream also provided you with some help. That’s really great.”
Although Si Huan was already very gentle and polite, Liu Jun was still very uncomfortable when facing him.
Fortunately, Ding Chen came back very quickly. Ding Rong and Huo Tian followed behind him.
There were faint dark circles under Ding Rong’s eyes. It seemed like this kidnapping had left some psychological trauma in her.
Because he had faced a life and death situation with Ding Rong, Liu Jun subconsciously felt close to Ding Rong.
When he saw that Ding Rong did not seem to be in a good state, he quickly stood up to ask in concern, “Auntie Ding, are you okay now?”
A faint smile appeared on Ding Rong’s face. “I’m fine now. Little Liu, thank you for your concern.”
Liu Jun scratched the back of his head uneasily. After an awkward exchange of pleasantries, he explained his intentions. “Many people on the Internet are paying attention to this kidnapping case. They even brought a lot of pressure on the police. The police have also agreed to let me respond online first to ease the overly seething public opinion. I want to ask Auntie Ding what opinions do you guys have on this.”
Ding Rong and Huo Tian had chatted late into the night before falling asleep. They hadn’t paid any attention to the discussions online at all. So Huo Tian cast her gaze at Si Huan.
However, Si Huan knew about the rumors on the Internet very well. “After those kidnappers destroyed the camera, the viewers in the live-stream could grasp the situation through the sounds. However, after Mr. Liu Jun let out a scream in fright, the live-stream was completely closed. Perhaps the kidnappers accidentally damaged the audio receiver. Therefore, the netizens want to know what happened after that.”
Huo Tian sharply caught on to the main point. “That means that the outside world is still unaware of the results of this kidnapping, right?”
Si Huan nodded. “I’ve already informed the data management team to gather the discussions on the Internet. Up till now, most of the discussions on the outcome of this kidnapping are all guesses without any evidence.”
Huo Tian frowned and thought about it for a moment. She then looked at Si Huan with a sly expression. “This means that we can use the information difference to let those people think that we’ve suffered a huge loss. We can also lure the snake out of its hole.”
“You have the same thoughts as me.” Si Huan smiled slightly as if he was satisfied with their telepathy.
Ding Rong could feel the congenial and harmonious atmosphere when Huo Tian and Si Huan were talking. This made her feel in a bit of a dilemma and she could not help but recall how the kidnapper had mentioned Si Huan as Huo Tian’s fiancé in front of her.
Of course, Ding Rong knew that their relationship was not what the kidnapper had mistakenly thought.. However, at the thought of Si Huan being able to fork out so much money without hesitation for his daughter’s sake, and how Si Huan had always been supportive of all of Huo Tian’s decisions, Ding Rong could not be certain that their relationship was just a pure friendship.
