Chapter 282: More Ruthless Than the Paparazzi
Dou Xiangling was a little impatient to see Zi Yi insisting on leaving the hospital and directly grabbed her arm.
Zi Yi stared at her for three seconds and asked firmly, “Did something happen?”
“No… huh? Yiyi, what are you doing?”
Zi Yi took out her phone. “Since you are unwilling to say, I’ll check it out myself.”
Dou Xiangling knew she could no longer hide things from her and could only reveal what had happened.
Zi Yi had also surfed the net to check the situation. All the negative information about her had been taken down by someone and she went to check the past history of what had happened.
“Yiyi, there’s no need to worry. Eldest Uncle and the rest have already gone out to solve this matter.”
“Okay.” Zi Yi looked calm and there was not the slightest trace of anger on her face.
The elevator reached the first floor and they headed out together.
It was currently dawn and only the emergency entrance of the hospital was open.
The two of them headed towards the emergency entrance.
At that moment, beside Dou Jingtong who was rus.h.i.+ng into the hospital, the remaining three stood at the entrance similar to three towering mountains Opposite them was a group of reporters that were blocked by another group of bodyguards and police officers.
The three of them had been engaged in education for numerous years and they naturally exuded a stern aura. Those tabloid reporters who had already typed out a draft of the article dared not ask a single question they had wanted to ask.
Just then, a sharp-eyed reporter saw Zi Yi walking out and he shouted in excitement, “Zi Yi has come out!”
His words were like a switch. Those who dared not utter a single word immediately became excited and were about to rush towards her.
Dou Xiaoyong sternly shouted, “Be quiet.”
The reporters were unable to enter due to the bodyguards and police officers blocking their way. They could only direct their cameras towards Zi Yi.
Dou Xiangling subconsciously blocked Zi Yi at the sight of such a situation.
Zi Yi looked at those reporters that were known as paparazzi and revealed a sneer.
She unhurriedly took out her phone and tapped on it.
Just then, someone among the group of reporters exclaimed. “Why did my camera go black?”
What followed after was a wave of commotion.
Following that, Zi Yi put her phone away and patted Dou Xiangling’s stiff body. “Cousin, there’s no need to worry.”
Having said that, she headed towards the direction of the paparazzi.
Zi Yi glanced across those reporters who were anxiously fixing their cameras and a chilly glint flashed through her eyes.
Just then, Dou Jingning sternly asked, “Why did you come out?”
“I’m going home.”
After Zi Yi said that, she took out her car keys and pressed a b.u.t.ton.
The car park was located right outside the hospital and Zi Yi’s car was parked near the entrance. The headlights flashed when she unlocked her car.
Everyone subconsciously turned to look at it.
Immediately after, their eyes and mouths widened in shock as they saw the racing car flying in their direction and parking beside Zi Yi,
“Oh heavens!” A reporter shouted all of a sudden and the others also recovered their senses.
All of them looked at Zi Yi in excitement.
One of them asked, “Miss Zi, who gave you this car? How is it capable of flying in the sky?”
Zi Yi gave him a cold stare. “What do you mean who gave it to me? I’m rich, so why do I need people to give me a car?”
When Zi Yi said that she was rich, that self-confidence of hers inexplicably made them recall the money she had earned from the international racing compet.i.tion.
Rumor has it, the sum amounted to billions!
“Miss Zi, many netizens suspect that you had used special means during the compet.i.tion. You…”
“Shut up!” Zi Yi sneered. “You bunch of paparazzi. Do you believe I can’t make you feel what it’s like to get attacked over the net?”
“Miss Zi, how could you say that? We are merely seeking the truth.”
“That’s right. If you talk nonsense, be careful of us exposing you!”
…
Dou Xiangling was so infuriated that she wanted to stand up and rebut them. However, Zi Yi stopped her from doing so.
She glanced at the group of reporters and the corner of her lips curled up. “Expose? If you are so capable, I think you should try to fix your electronic devices first.”
At first, everyone was stunned and subsequently, they subconsciously checked the cameras in their hands. Some of them had even taken out their phones.
Their expressions changed immediately after.
“What’s going on? Why did my recorder stop?”
“Mine is broken too.”
“Ahh! My phone is unresponsive!”
Dou Xiangling asked in a whisper, after she saw the confused reporters, “Yiyi, did you do that?”
Zi Yi tilted her head and gave her a wink.
Gone was her previous fierce expression and what remained was a teasing one.
Dou Xiangling laughed.
Just then, her three Uncles had turned to look at her. Just as they were about to speak, Zi Yi said with a stern expression, “I haven’t slept all night nor have I eaten. I’m tired and hungry right now.” What she meant was that she refused to talk right now.
The words that came to their lips were forcefully pushed back.
Dou Jingning remained silent for several seconds and said, “Go and have a good rest. Come and visit your Grandfather tomorrow.”
Their niece was truly different from before. They had no reason to treat such an outstanding niece with cold att.i.tudes.
Dou Xiangling was delighted to hear that and hastily nudged Zi Yi’s arm. “Yiyi, quick! Promise Eldest Uncle you’ll come.”
Zi Yi glanced at Dou Xiangling who was happier than her and nodded towards Dou Jingning.
Following that, she headed for her car.
“Since you’re tired and hungry, you shouldn’t drive.” Dou Jingning then said, “Get the bodyguard to drive you home.”
“There’s no need.” Zi Yi had already opened the door when she said that. She then turned around and said, “My car has an automatic navigation mode and I’ll be traveling by air. Nothing will happen.”
Having said that, she got in the car and it swiftly flew up in the skies. Under everyone’s burning gazes, it flew off.
The reporters returned empty-handed and even all their electronic devices had malfunctioned. It made them feel very uncomfortable and they started hating Zi Yi as they intended to write articles to attack her.
So what if she had a few Uncles who were professors?
As long as they were fast enough, would they be afraid that they would be unable to attack her?
They did not believe people like the Dou Family members would do anything to them.
However, when these reporters made their way back, they finally understood what it meant by suffering a double loss after trying to trick the enemy. All their tabloid websites had suffered from a breach and at the same time, various illegal activities related to their companies were exposed.
Before 9 a.m in the morning, the disciplinary committee had directly paid them a visit to shut down the companies.
…
As soon as Zi Yi returned to the courtyard, the housekeeper came forward to welcome her.
“Miss Zi, you’re back.”
He saw the dark circles under her eyes and said with concern, “After having breakfast, go and take a nap. Otherwise, your body might not be able to stand it.
Zi Yi nodded and headed to the backyard.
Just as she went to rest, the housekeeper’s phone rang. After taking a look at the caller ID, he hastily answered the call and respectfully called out, “Mrs. Lu.”
Mrs. Lu had heard of what happened last night early in the morning. She originally planned to give Zi Yi a call, but was worried that she might be resting. Therefore, she got her housekeeper to check up on the contact number of the housekeeper Lu Jingye had brought with him.
After she checked up on what Zi Yi was doing right now, Mrs. Lu was about to prepare soup for Zi Yi upon hanging up. All of a sudden, she saw Lu Jianlin entering in a hurry and she asked, “Jianlin, what are you doing?”
Lu Jianlin continued walking upstairs as he said, “I’ll be away for a few days. Take good care of yourself during my absence.”
