Cannon Fodder Fake Master Was Stunned After Being Reborn

Today could be said to be a total anarchy on the Internet.

After Zhang Xiangyang finished telling the story, because the live broadcast room was too hot, a lot of people even began to gather beside their courtyard. The appearance of these people also made Anran feel alert. Today, because of his private trip, he didn’t bring along his personal mobile phone. He also had a habit of muting his work mobile phone during private times like this. 

He didn’t expect that one day he would be harmed by this habit.

After clicking on the screen, there were dozens of missed calls, and his WeChat messages were even more explosive. After clicking on it, the first thing that catches his eye was the messages from his agent: 

[Shut up and get out immediately! They are secretly filming a live broadcast upstairs!] 

[Did you get carried away with your emotions?? Stupid!] 

 When Anran found out that someone was secretly filming, his heart skipped a beat – all of a sudden, his whole body felt like jelly, and his mind blanked out. He wanted to pass out. 

Apart from his agent who sent him messages, the members of the Jian family also sent messages one after another, and the one who sent the most messages was naturally Jian Zhi: [What’s going on? What are you talking about? What does this mean??]

The second was Jian Kuo. His message was a bit different, instead he questioned: [Ranran,  didn’t you say that you have cut off contact with the Zhang family? Why do you still call them “Mom” and “Dad”?] 

This sentence also made Anran feel dizzy.

The thing was, in the past, in order to establish his filial and sensible personality in front of others, and especially to please the Jian family members, he always said that he cut off any contact with the Zhang couple. But now, him calling Zhang Xia with “Mom” was broadcast to the whole Internet to see! 

He already showed his true colors to the Zhang couple, but he couldn’t afford to do the same with the Jian family! 

Anran quickly replied: [No, please just listen to me and I will explain to you later.] 

At this moment, he finally realized that this wasn’t something he could explain even with a thousand words. He was so embarrassed, especially as he realized that this matter actually stemmed from his doing – dirtying Jian Xingsui’s reputation in order to drive him out. 

There were neighbors gathered in the yard outside, and there were also people who came especially to see the shit going down live. 

The neighbors were a little bit emotional:

“So these two children are both not biological?” 

“At the beginning I hated Suisui’s return. Sigh… I was a fool back then. The truth was so different from what I thought…” 

“That Jian Xingsui child is really pitiful.”

Anran was worried. He should escape now. He must go back to the company, and discuss with the PR department about the countermeasures of this shitshow. He also needed to explain and appease the Jian family.

But when he opened the door and walked out, he was held back by someone.

Xiao Zhang held Anran’s hand and said: “Ranran!”

Anran was stunned: “Who are you?”

“It’s me, I went to the same school as you before. Don’t you remember me? Ranran, I’ve always missed you. I was in the courtyard just now. Was what you said true?” 

Anran remembered that someone was secretly live broadcasting upstairs, but now he was anxious to leave. So he became very  impatient with Xiao Zhang, “I’m sorry, I don’t remember, you get out of the way.”

Xiao Zhang still didn’t give up, “Ranran, I believe you are not that kind of person, can you explain to me?”

Anran frowned, clearly annoyed: “Why should I explain to you?”

Xiao Zhang was stunned.

In his memory, Anran has always been a gentle and kind boy. Hearing that he was bullied, Xiao Zhang immediately believed it. He has always had a belief that he should take good care of Anran and prevent him from being bullied. However… the Anran shown in front of him today seems to be a completely different person.

He ran down without taking the live broadcast mobile phone, because he was anxious to prove to the audience that Ranran was innocent. For that reason, he also had a microphone on his body. Anran’s impatient voice was heard in the live broadcast room, and the netizens were shocked: 

[Those who said that Anran was an angel, come out now!! Look at this “angel” of yours!!] 

[How fierce!]

[Haha, Mr. Anchor, you are such a clown! Obviously, he was just using you as a spare tire at most!] [someone who likes person A, but person A purposefully left them hanging as a back-up candidate in case person A failed to get together with their separate love interest.]

[Anran’s behavior was very strange…]

[I’m no longer his fan from this moment on.] 

When the netizens were discussing, the police car’s siren rang not far away. At this exact time, the police’s arrival drove some people to fever-pitch. 

The policeman got out of the car and said to the crowd around the small yard: “Please make a way, thank you.” 

The onlookers didn’t expect this incident to alert the police. On the other hand, the police also didn’t expect that there would be a day where they received a large number of reporting calls from enthusiastic citizens, all about the same incident. Now that they’re here, the police could see how big of a spectacle the scene was. 

The courtyard door was pushed open, and Mrs. Zhang looked at the police who came in with some horror on her face.

The leading policeman was a very experienced person. He showed his ID card and said, “Hello, I’m a policeman. We have received a report hotline from enthusiastic citizens. We suspect that you are involved in a crime of child abduction. Please follow us.”

Mrs. Zhang’s face was full of tears, and she kept shrinking into Zhang Xiangyang’s arms, “I didn’t participate, it’s not my fault!”

Zhang Xiangyang stood outside, blown by the wind, and kept covering his lips and coughing. His thin body trembled in the wind like dead leaves, looking scarily frail.

Jian Xingsui happened to be standing next to him, so he went over to help him: “Are you okay?”

Before he was discharged from the hospital, the doctor told him that Zhang Xiangyang’s condition was not very good, so he shouldn’t get any emotional stimulation. But today, everything was exposed.

Zhang Xiangyang’s face was flushed, he patted Jian Xingsui’s hand lightly, then raised his head and said to the policeman, “Thank you for your hard work. We are willing to accept the investigation, and we are also willing to accept every punishment demanded by the law.” 

Mrs. Zhang’s eyes widened, and she slapped Zhang Xiangyang a few times, “What are you talking about? Do you know what you are talking about? How could you…” 

Zhang Xiangyang wanted to ask her not to act like this in front of the police. But he was anxious and felt pain all over his body. In the end, he couldn’t hold it anymore – his vision got blurry, and he fell down, unconscious. 

Seeing her husband fainted, Mrs. Zhang was completely dumbfounded. She stood there in a daze, stunned.

Fortunately, Jian Xingsui caught Zhang Xiangyang in time. He glared at Mrs. Zhang, and said in a cold voice, “What are you doing? His condition is so serious, can you just stand still like this?” 

This was the first time that Jian Xingsui sternly scolded someone older than him. His dark eyes were full of unsaid reprimands, but there was a hint of sadness in his voice, “Stop being so selfish for a second! Help your husband now!” 

The truth always hurts the most, like a bullet pierced directly to her heart. But, Jian Xingsui was right, and Zhang Xia finally could agree to that. 

Her selfishness was engraved in her bones, and she was exposed in times of crisis. Jian Xingsui’s words seemed to have taken away all the strength in her body. Zhang Xia took a deep breath, and the whole person sat paralyzed on the ground. She was unable to stand up. 

The police stepped forward quickly and said towards the fainted Zhang Xiangyang, “Take him into the car and go to the hospital.”

Jian Xingsui said, “I’ll carry him.”

Seeing that he took the initiative, the police nodded: “Okay, thank you for your hard work.”

Jian Xingsui shook his head: “It’s easy to do.”

Actually even before coming here, the policeman had a general understanding of what happened. He understood the setbacks and hardships this child had experienced. As a human with a fleshy heart, he couldn’t be impartial – he hated the Zhang couple for the things they have done. But now, there’s a human’s life at stake, so he must hold back his hatred.

He saw that Jian Xingsui’s kindness was something innate in his soul. He was still able to feel sympathy and helped the man who basically indirectly ruined his life. The policeman couldn’t help but admire this youth from the bottom of his heart. 

Going out from the yard, there were still many passers-by outside.

The police cleared the way ahead. Jian Xingsui walked to the car with Zhang Xiangyang on his back. Passersby kept taking pictures with their mobile phones, and some people called his name. However, Jian Xingsui ignored them all and didn’t stop. 

At this time, the Internet was busy with many discussions surrounding this: 

[Anran… ran away?]

[While I don’t agree with the moral kidnapping Mrs. Zhang done to him, it’s still very scummy of him to leave the people who raised him kindly for two decades. Especially seeing that Mr. Zhang was deathly sick.] 

[Is this the guy you all said was pitiful?? Where the fuck do you see “pitiful” in this rat??] 

[Suisui isn’t blood-related to the Zhangs, he isn’t the child who was raised for 20 years, but he still stayed until the end.]

[I still remembered that everyone was scolding Jian Xingsui yesterday. But today…] 

[I really can’t tell what justice is.]

When the falsehood on the Internet faded away, when the truth of the matter began to slowly unfold; all the people who hurled abuse and slander, all the righteous people who seek their own version of justice, all fell into a long, contemplative silence.

The facts slapped them in the face. The echo of their empty talk was loud.

They really shouldn’t be the judge of a matter they didn’t actually know.
