They Regretted it After Their Hearts Turned to Ashes - Chapter 29
Ren Chenbai went crazy.
When he realized this, Luo Orange was hiding in the dormitory under the quilt, shivering from the phone.
The video sent by Ren Chenbai rushed to the hot search in less than ten minutes. With Li Weiming’s current top traffic, there was an overwhelming uproar.
Luo Orange didn’t dare to click on the video.
Just read the comments, it must be Li Weiming who lied and poured dirty water on Luo Zhi.
Now that the video footage has come out with solid evidence, everything at the beginning has naturally become a big joke in the world.
Luo Cheng’s palm also broke out in cold sweat. She kept clicking on those new posts, watching the skyrocketing comments and retweets.
Except for some of Li Weiming’s fans who still refused to believe it and kept asking to confirm whether the video has been modified and reprocessed, the wind of public opinion has been completely one-sided.
Suppressing the snow? Serious psychological problem? Only recently plucked up the courage to step out of the shadows?
Is it to keep the basic salary and suppress the snow hidden by requiring solid basic skills, or is it a serious psychological problem left by saying the whole four words of happy birthday?
You mustered up the courage to walk out of the shadows, and sent it to your door with ulterior motives, but it failed, and was completely sent out of the hotel and called a car?
The sarcasm and sarcasm under the video are more ugly than the other one. The more real Li Weiming’s pain and hesitation some time ago, the more shameful absurd jokes will become at this time.
The roles he played were pulled out and ridiculed repeatedly, commenting on basic skills that did not exist at all, and Weibo was screenshotted and paraded around the street. As for the “punishing evil and promoting good” proudly showing off in the fan square, they were even more visited and whipped over and over again, and several people have already cancelled their accounts…
It was obvious that he had reached this point, but Ren Chenbai seemed to think that it was not enough, and even this small group of recalcitrant fans did not intend to leave Li Weiming behind. Just a few minutes later, another recording was sent.
The words Li Weiming said personally, his pleas to Ren Chenbai regardless of his image, and his disdainful ridicule to fans, finally slapped the faces of those fans who were still deceiving themselves and resisting.
In this short period of time, several big brands have officially announced that they have terminated their endorsement contracts with Li Weiming. The crew of a drama Li Weiming is filming also urgently announced a change in public relations. According to the comments, things are not so simple. Li Weiming’s Weibo has been suspected of serious defamation, and maybe he will be prosecuted and sentenced…
It’s because of Ren Chen’s white hair.
Why did Ren Chenbai suddenly do such a thing?
Luo Orange stared at the phone screen, panicked.
Li Weiming was looking for Jian Huaiyi everywhere, and even asked her where she was.
…Where did Jian Huaiyi go?
Luo Orange unconsciously squeezed the phone tightly.
She was not at home that night, but she also knew what Ren Chenbai did when he went to Luo’s house.
It was really close to being killed that day. Jian Huaiyi was beaten to death by Ren Chenbai and is still in the hospital.
Is Ren Chenbai going to take revenge on everyone? To take revenge on all those who have treated Luo Zhi badly, because Luo Zhi…
She was terrified by the suddenly vibrating phone, and when she saw “Ren Chenbai” on the caller ID, she was instantly enveloped in intense fear, and immediately reached out and hung up the phone, and threw the phone far away.
The dull sound of the mobile phone hitting the bed board also caught the attention of several other people in the dormitory.
“Little Orange?” The lower bunk stuck her head out and patted her bed board lightly, “What’s the matter, doesn’t it matter?”
Luo Cheng shrunk tightly under the quilt, and after a long while, she said, “It’s okay…”
“Are you scared by the hot search? I just saw that this Li Weiming is too outrageous.”
The lower bunk suddenly remembered: “Xiaocheng, do you still have his contact information, and you almost want to cooperate?”
“I didn’t!” Luo Cheng hurriedly denied it, and then realized that his tone was too strange, and managed to calm down, “I just—just work with him in a company, Jane, Jane always wants him to take me…”
“By the way, you also signed the company. Both of you are from Huaisheng Entertainment.” The bottom bunk didn’t think much, but just advised her, “Don’t associate with this kind of people in the future, so as not to cause trouble.”
Luo Orange also panicked because of the phone call, nodded a few times, and hummed.
…Her roommates don’t know her true relationship with Luo Zhi and Huaisheng Entertainment, nor do they know her specific family situation.
Luo Zhi never sent her to school, and never appeared in front of any of her classmates, because she was not allowed.
When Luo Cheng was in school, Luo Zhi was just making his debut as a singer, and it was revealed that his family background in a variety show was overwhelming, causing a lot of trouble all over the Internet.
Luo Orange didn’t want someone to point at her, and she didn’t want someone to say that she was Luo Zhi’s sister, so she repeatedly emphasized that Luo Zhi was not allowed to appear in front of her classmates.
“The general manager before Huaisheng was also unlucky, so why did this happen?”
The girl opposite was also looking at Weibo and sighed: “I remember that he seems to have made his debut. He is handsome and sings very well. His future is ruined by such a scumbag.”
I don’t watch variety shows in the lower bunk, and I don’t know what happened to Luo Zhi before. It wasn’t until this hot search that I made up for a lesson in the square: “It’s good to watch others in the video, maybe those black materials that used power to suppress people in the past are also Fraudulent.”
“It’s a coincidence that he also has a younger sister named Xiaocheng with the same name as you.”
The girl opposite was watching the video, glanced at Luo Cheng in the upper bunk, and dragged the progress bar back and forth a few times: “But you’re more ignorant than you… Even if the older brother doesn’t agree with her entering the entertainment industry, it shouldn’t be on her birthday. We quarreled that day and threw the cake.”
“I didn’t wish her brother a happy birthday, did you?” Another roommate joined in to eat melons, “Otherwise, there is no need for that Li Weiming to say it again.”
“It seems that she was the one who said she wanted to celebrate her brother’s birthday and tricked her into going to the hotel.” The bottom bunk also thought so, and took the conversation, “Even if you don’t know it, I’m afraid you’ll have to blame yourself a lot…”
Luo Cheng hid in the upper bunk, the more he listened, the more flustered he became.
She was vaguely glad that these roommates didn’t have the habit of watching live broadcasts, and they didn’t usually chase stars. They didn’t see her and Luo Zhi being blocked at the door of the hotel together… But this is not a long-term solution.
Luo Orange picked up the phone subconsciously, opened WeChat and wanted to send a message, but was stunned for a long time at the dialog box he opened.
…why did she click on Luo Zhi’s dialog box?
Why was her first reaction still to ask Luo Zhi for help and let Luo Zhi help her deal with those live video recordings?
Luo Orange looked at the last message in WeChat, she almost couldn’t remember when it was sent… No, she remembered. It was that day that the entire dormitory couldn’t sleep because of the group work at the end of the term. She was so worried that she posted a circle of friends, and was liked by Luo Zhi passing by.
Luo Cheng was worried about getting angry, and when he saw Luo Zhi’s likes, he couldn’t help it, and ran to get angry with Luo Zhi.
After a lot of venting and complaining, my roommate accidentally caught a glimpse when he was going to pour the water, and laughed and joked about who made the gentle and elegant Dai Peanut so angry, he must have done something too much. thing.
Luo Cheng casually made up a reason to prevaricate it, but he also had a rare regret, and made an apology to Luo Zhi.
Luo Zhi was very happy because of this news, and even solemnly thanked her.
Luo Zhi finally sent her a message, it doesn’t matter, there is a brother.
…
The message stops here.
Luo Orange looked at the news.
She seemed to suddenly remember something.
It was something that she had deliberately left for several days, and she even left home and hid in the school dormitory in order not to think about it.
…On the day the cruise ship wrecked, Jian Huaiyi got off the rescue boat, but did not see Luo Jun.
Jian Huaiyi hid in the room, refusing to speak no matter how he asked. It was only at the end that I had to admit that under the pressure of my father, there were some conflicts on the boat.
They met Luo Zhi, and because of a lot of arguments, Luo Jun couldn’t control his temper and pushed him and Luo Zhi.
Luo Jun pushed him and Luo Zhi into the water, and now they have been taken away by the police and are being questioned.
Luo Zhi disappeared in the sea.
“Xiaocheng saw it too.” Jian Huaiyi turned pale and looked up at her, “Isn’t it?”
…
Luo Cheng’s face paled a little.
She did see it.
She was on the side at the time, watching her eldest brother get angry at Luo Zhi, pinching Luo Zhi’s jaw and forcing him to look up, and was blocked by Jian Huaiyi in the middle.
She was so confused that she didn’t dare to say anything, so she went back to school from home that night.
Luo Orange looked at Luo Zhi’s WeChat avatar, she subconsciously wanted to click, and took her hand back.
Luo Zhi disappeared in the sea, but she did not believe that something would go wrong with Luo Zhi.
Luo Zhi is very good at swimming, calm and calm in case of trouble, there must be a way to save himself in that situation.
She and Ren Chenbai thought the same thing. She didn’t think Luo Zhi would be like what the big brother and the others said… Luo Zhi was all right every time, and every time he turned the corner, it must be the same this time.
…But why did Ren Chenbai suddenly seem to be crazy and start to take revenge on Li Weiming like crazy?
Luo Cheng didn’t dare to think about that possibility, she opened the dialog box with Luo Zhi, quickly typed “Where are you”, and sent it out without thinking.
She waited for a few minutes and found that there was no reply, so she sent a few messages in succession, briefly talking about family affairs.
She told Luo Zhi on WeChat that the family was in chaos now, her father was sick, her elder brother was punished, Jian Huaiyi was injured in a fight with others, and she heard that the family’s business was also in serious trouble.
Luo Cheng watched her message fill the screen. She bit her lower lip hard and wanted to send it again, when Ren Chenbai’s phone came in again.
Luo Orange screamed in fright, and was in a hurry to press the power button for a long time, but the message from Ren Chenbai also popped up at the top of the screen at the same time.
Luo Cheng just glanced at it, and his hands and feet were instantly cold.
Ren Chenbai reminded her of low blood sugar.
Hypoglycemia, coma, Luo Zhi.
Luo Orange trembled and slowly moved his fingers.
She didn’t dare to hang up anymore, and she didn’t dare to turn off the phone. She clicked the answer and climbed out of bed, and wanted to leave the dormitory to answer the phone.
“Little Orange.” Ren Chenbai’s gentle voice came from the phone, “Stay in the dormitory, you can’t go out.”
Luo Cheng hid his mobile phone and walked to the door under the surprised gazes of his roommates, only to be frozen by the voice.
“Have you seen the video? I have something to ask you.”
Ren Chenbai said, “Who is your second brother?”
His tone was the same as usual, but there seemed to be some kind of invisible coldness that was quietly oozing out, slowly entangling the new prey.
Luo Cheng didn’t have the guts not to answer. She cowardly said a name, but Ren Chenbai was not satisfied.
“Let’s be complete, is this something shameful?” Ren Chenbai said, “Speak louder and say it to your roommate.”
Ren Chenbai asked patiently, “Who is your second brother? What does he do?”
Luo Orange’s face turned even paler. She turned around stiffly, leaned against the door, and looked at her roommate in surprise.
Ren Chenbai would not give her the patience to repeat the question a third time.
“I, my second brother,” Luo Cheng heard himself stammering, “is from Huaisheng Entertainment, general manager.”
The roommates stared at her in amazement, and one of them couldn’t help but ask, “Luo Zhi? This one in the video?”
“Someone asked a question.” Ren Chenbai heard the voice on the other side and taught her warmly, “Answer.”
Luo Cheng opened her mouth, and her voice had a weeping tone: “…Yes.”
“I’m looking at the sea view villa, watching the surveillance here, I saw you brought Luo Zhi to the villa.”
Ren Chenbai continued to ask kindly, “Where did you keep him?”
Luo Cheng’s tears burst out instantly: “Brother Chenbai, I know it’s wrong, don’t do this, I’m afraid, Brother Chenbai…”
“Apart from Luo Zhi, no one will care whether you are afraid or not.” Ren Chenbai said, “Luo Cheng, where did you keep Luo Zhi?”
“As before, answer completely,” he said.
Luo Cheng didn’t dare to say anything this time, and kept his mouth shut, his body trembling.
“Do you want me to post this surveillance video online too?” Ren Chenbai’s voice slowly came out of the phone, strangling her neck, “Xiao Zhi’s condition in this video is not good, I don’t want to post it. , he is very concerned about his image.”
“Don’t!” Luo Cheng screamed, she couldn’t hold it anymore, she sat down with strength, “I, I locked my second brother in a utility room, I don’t know what it is for, it looks like a Utility room…”
“Then you went to have dinner with your family.” Ren Chenbai said, “Just left him here.”
Ren Chenbai said, “I forgot one night.”
Luo Cheng was trembling, she fell into the unbelievable sight of her roommates, and repeated dully: “Then, then I had dinner with my family, and I forgot my second brother and forgot one night.”
“Then you sent some kindness and came to bring him food.” Ren Chenbai asked, “Why is the food you brought all mud?”
Luo Cheng whispered: “It’s raining, I, I accidentally dropped the rice in the mud.”
“Then you let him eat.” Ren Chenbai said.
Luo Cheng opened her mouth, she wanted to beg for mercy, she wanted to escape from this bedroom with a volume that Ren Chenbai couldn’t hear, but she had no courage at all.
“Say.” Ren Chenbai said, “then you threw him in that room until dawn.”
Luo Cheng’s body was already numb, and the tears couldn’t stop falling: “Then I let the second brother eat… Brother Chenbai, I didn’t mean to! It was raining that day, I was so scared, I didn’t dare to move when it was dark… “
“As soon as it gets dark, you don’t dare to move.”
Ren Chenbai suddenly laughed softly: “Xiaocheng, do you know whether it was day or night when you escaped after you were kidnapped?”
Luo Cheng cried so hard that she wanted to shake her head, but suddenly realized that she actually knew the answer—she was so young at that time that she didn’t remember much. But when the family brought her the records at that time, when they told how she escaped, they mentioned the time.
She ran out in the middle of the night while those people were not paying attention, and happened to be discovered by the police not far away, so she was sent home…
“Do you believe it?” Ren Chenbai slowly made up the story, “A four-year-old little girl who dared not walk as soon as it was dark, smart, brave and lucky, ran out in the middle of the night in the hands of a group of vicious habitual criminals, just in time to run by the police.”
Luo Cheng’s body froze completely.
She seemed to resist instinctively, and didn’t want to listen to Ren Chenbai’s words anymore, but she couldn’t move at all, so she could only listen to the voice getting colder and colder, and continued talking in her ear.
“It doesn’t matter if you forget, there just happens to be a documentary.” Ren Chenbai said, “Don’t you really want to go?”
Luo Cheng was firmly held by fear, she said in a trembling voice: “I don’t want it anymore, Brother Chen Bai, I don’t want it anymore, I don’t want to go at all…”
She suddenly remembered something, which made her whole body seem to be instantly frozen by water colder than the ice sea that day.
…She handed over the waiver agreement signed her name to Ren Chenbai.
As long as you sign the exemption agreement with the group, you must close the group throughout the entire process, witness and even experience everything that happened in the past in a semi-immersive way.
Although he already knew that the odds of being selected were very low, Luo Cheng still had a bit of luck, for fear of missing any opportunity from Director Gong Hanrou, but he was delayed on the cruise ship.
So she signed the agreement in advance and handed it over to Ren Chenbai for safekeeping.
She felt confident that she was ready.
“Brother Chenbai, I don’t want to go, I won’t go… My strength is not enough, it will drag down the crew.”
Luo Cheng frantically tried to find a reason: “The crew will definitely despise me, I—”
“There is corner A, you are just a substitute and have already negotiated with there.” Ren Chenbai said, “The contract has also been sent…”
“Ren Chenbai! What are you going to do?” Luo Cheng swayed uncontrollably, she curled up tightly, dodging her gaze, and cried out, “I didn’t mean to! I don’t know that the second brother’s condition is already so bad, he was fine when I saw him in the middle of the night—”
Luo Cheng has never faced this problem directly, and it was only at this time that she was suddenly hit hard by her words.
…
Midnight that night.
In the middle of the night, Luo Zhi dragged his right leg and walked slowly into the woods.
Luo Zhi couldn’t walk, he would rest for a long time after walking a few steps, and would not bypass the obstacles in front of him, as if he had lost part of his consciousness.
…all right?
How could Luo Zhi like this survive the shipwreck?
Ren Chenbai didn’t ask her this question, just whispered in her ear across the phone, “We’re all going to hell.”
There was no sound from Luo Cheng’s side.
…
Ren Chenbai hung up the phone.
He is now sitting in the “utility room” that Luo Cheng called. Before coming here, he had just personally searched every corner of the villa.
He looked for every place Luo Zhi might be hiding. When he went down the stairs, he accidentally stepped on the air, as if he had broken his leg. Only then did he realize how painful it was to break his leg.
Knowing that Luo Zhi broke his leg, he was still satisfied with his plan to lead Luo Zhi back to Luo’s house and let Luo Zhi see Mrs. Luo’s true colors. He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he looked up from the desk, only to see his mother with a frown and a complicated expression.
That day was the first time his mother punished him. His mother made him swear that no matter what happened in the future, he would never hurt Xiao Huo Miao.
After taking Luo Zhi home from the hospital to recuperate, Ren Chenbai hid outside the door and saw his mother sitting in front of Luo Zhi’s bed, holding Luo Zhi and choking and constantly saying sorry.
Ren Chenbai had never seen his mother cry. He didn’t know what he had done wrong, so he panicked at the door.
“If you are sad in the future, run quickly and run away.” Mother hugged Luo Zhi and said to Luo Zhi over and over again, “Don’t worry about my brother, don’t want you to take care of him, don’t take care of him, remember to run.”
Ren Chenbai never asked his mother why he said those words to Luo Zhi.
He was just thinking that Luo Zhi seemed to be really bad at escaping.
Ren Chenbai took the phone and clicked on the sample video sent by Gong Hanrou’s crew.
Through the visits to many parties, the complicated clues that have been pieced together have actually been able to restore some of the scenes at that time.
The little actors did a good job, but after all, they were all children who had been pampered and grown up, so in the final analysis, they still felt a little bit worse.
Ren Chenbai looked at the sample film, and he slowly saw the seven-year-old Luo Chi, the boy who was covered in injuries carrying his sister, stumbled and fled away.
The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and vague figures could already be seen, but it was still two minutes before the auxiliary police routinely patrolled here. If it goes on like this, before anyone comes, both of them will be captured and beaten to death.
Luo Chi gritted his teeth and put his sister down.
“Don’t cry.” Luo Chi whispered, “Hide and seek. Little Orange, hide and seek.”
The deserted alley was terribly dark, and my sister was too frightened to move, her face was full of tears, her soft little hands squeezed his fingers tightly.
Luo Chi pulled out his hand little by little.
He no longer looked up, just tore off the coat on his sister’s body, picked up some wrapped fallen leaves on the side of the road and went in, hugged him in his arms, turned around and ran to another alley lit by the street lights.
Those people caught up with him and found that he was holding fallen leaves in his arms. He was furious and slapped him to the ground with a slap.
In the falling fists, Luo Chi curled up to protect his head and neck and the clothes.
“It doesn’t matter.” Luo Chi said, “It doesn’t matter.”
He was swallowed up by the sharp tinnitus, and drowsily guarded the fallen leaves: “There is a brother.”
