The male supporting character was actually myself.

In fact, Zhang Chengbo had long been dissatisfied with his wife, who was utterly useless except for her pretty face!

If you don't understand and respect your parents, how could you be where you are today without them? If you marry a wife and then don't respect your parents, are you even human?

His parents worked hard in the countryside to support their son through university, which caused his younger brother, who was two years younger, to drop out of school and start working early. As a result, he is now in his twenties and still can't find a partner.

My family has had such a hard life. Now I can finally earn money to support them, but it's only two thousand yuan a month for daily expenses. That's nothing! Can I repay my parents for raising me? Can I repay the debt of supporting my younger brother who dropped out of school?

As a result, that wretched woman complained every day, complaining that she gave money to her family but wasn't allowed to give it to her to squander.

At such a young age, she got married but didn't think about having a child to carry on the Zhang family line. She even said that she needed a house and her own home before she could have a child. It's all just an excuse!

Back when my brother and I were born, our family only had a drafty mud-brick house. Didn't my parents work hard to raise the two children?

I grew up eating simple meals and never took any nutritional supplements, yet I still grew up to be tall and strong, and my academic performance was in no way inferior to that of city kids.

My parents have urged us many times, and they have already made plans for us. While my younger brother is still single and unmarried, my husband and I will take advantage of our youth and good health to have two children in three years. My parents will have plenty of time and energy to support the children in the countryside.

A few hundred yuan a month is more than enough to support them.

Finish the task early, go to a stable job and earn a steady income, and then go back to your hometown to build a three-story house so your whole family can live together happily.

Rural areas are much better off now than before; they have gas and express delivery services available.

I can grow enough land to eat, earn a thousand yuan or so a month, which is more than enough to live on. I can stay by my parents' side and enjoy their company without any pressure. Isn't this a good life?

That wretched woman is ungrateful and has no patience for her in-laws; she won't even have children. What use is she except for bringing shame upon herself?

"Heh, you've finally gotten what you wanted, found a rich gigolo, are you happy now?" Zhang Chengbo gripped the folding knife in his hand, his palms were full of sweat.

Ever since that slut started making excuses and refusing to have a child, he realized that Hua Zaihong had ulterior motives.

Sure enough, that's how they gave themselves away.

And they even uploaded it online so many people could see it, how shameless!

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the residential area. Zhang Chengbo paid the fare, put on a mask, and buried his head under his hat, afraid that his neighbors would see him and laugh at his wife for flirting with a young man.

As he went upstairs, he inexplicably recalled the words the man in the car had said: "To put it bluntly, it's still not good enough. If you're so capable, try making her bedridden for four out of seven days, and see if she still has the energy to cheat on you..."

Zhang Chengbo felt that everyone's harsh laughter was directed at him.

They mocked themselves for being incompetent, unable to even keep their wives!

Upon arriving at the door, Zhang Chengbo didn't rush inside. Instead, he turned on his phone to record a video, opening the door and walking into the house while recording.

Similar to every time I come back, the small one-bedroom apartment was spotless, and there were no men's shoes in the shoe cabinet; there were no cigarette butts or used items in the trash can either.

"Those two bastards cleaned themselves up pretty well!" he cursed, continuing to search for clues.

When Zhang Chengbo opened the wardrobe door, he glanced at it and immediately flew into a rage. He recorded a video on his phone and cursed, "That slut really knows how to hook up with rich gigolos. Look at all these new clothes! They're either showing off her shoulders or her thighs. Who is she trying to impress with her slutty outfits!"

No wonder he didn't want a stable job and insisted on transferring to the business department.

So it turns out she just wanted to travel around and flirt with men! Dressing all those brightly colored clothes, claiming it's for work, is really just about picking up guys!

When he found a black lace cardigan, he completely lost his temper. "Pah! Shameless! They didn't even bother to hide it because they didn't know I'd be back early. They just left their sexy clothes so openly in the closet. You two bastards, I'll kill you both or I'm not Zhang!"

A long lace cardigan he had never seen before became the fuse that ignited the explosion.

Zhang Chengbo was burning with rage, his eyes bloodshot. He threw down his backpack, grabbed his folding knife, and stormed out the door. He was going to kill the adulterer, Wei Jiangchen!

"It feels a bit chilly." Jiang Chen closed the folder and casually touched his right waist, feeling a sense of foreboding.

What will happen today?

He reported the rumors circulating online to the police, but in this kind of situation, you generally can't expect the case to be solved quickly.

The police released a brief statement on their official website.

Jiang Chen got a public relations firm involved, spreading the police notice everywhere to stop the rumors and trying to dig out the source of the rumors. After all, judging from the vulgar language in the reposted records, it should be some kind of shady website membership group.

In the internet age, many websites hosted on servers located overseas thrive in the shadows, attracting a group of people who enjoy doing just that.

Most of the hotel voyeur videos are sold on such platforms. With the limited manpower and resources of the police, it is difficult to get to the root of the problem from a false report. Therefore, to find the root cause, we need to let someone like Peng Ziyang, who is well-connected everywhere, come up with a solution.

Further investigation will take time, and Jiang Chen could sense that the "death" orchestrated by the virus was gradually approaching him.

Huahuang Jincheng Hotel is one of the most luxurious hotels in Fuyu City.

Zhang Chengbo got out of the taxi, his right hand in his pocket, holding a folding knife, and coldly stared at the magnificent building. He seemed to have already "seen" what was about to happen—Wei Jiangchen would come out of the hotel lobby, start the luxury car that was all the rage online without any warning, and rush up to him and stab him with the knife.

One cut, two cuts, three cuts...

Each stab hit a vital spot! He had no chance to cry for help!

He could almost "see" the security guards and doormen standing at the door rushing up like madmen, some screaming and some running away, while Wei Jiangchen lay in a pool of blood before he breathed his last and finally saw his own face. The expression of terror finally froze on his face as he died with regret for stealing someone else's life.

"Come on, I've arranged everything for you." Zhang Chengbo slowly opened his folding knife and sat down quietly on the flower bed behind Wei Jiangchen's luxury car, waiting patiently.

Before coming, he did his homework carefully, and even watched some live broadcast recordings of hypocritical gigolo lovers to find out their whereabouts.

Wei Jiangchen set up some kind of charity website, which Zhang Chengbo saw as a way to openly and legitimately reach out to more women, to find targets, bestow favors upon them, and use helping them as an excuse to find lovers for himself!

He leaves his hotel at 5 p.m. every night to meet with his lawyer, and some fans even come specifically to wait and take photos.

At this moment, Zhang Chengbo saw a lot of people gathered on the side of the street. In order not to hinder the hotel's business or affect traffic, those people did not come to the front.

"A bunch of idiots who lust after women!" He lit a cigarette to calm himself down, glanced back at the crowd of people holding phones and waiting to take pictures of Wei Jiangchen, and saw that most of them were girls, so he let out a cold snort.

You stupid women, your idol will soon be meeting the King of Hell.

"Wow! Wei Jiangchen is so handsome!"

"Oh my god, I finally got a picture of him in person! He's so handsome!"

"Waaaaah... I don't dare disturb my husband's work, I can only catch a glimpse from afar. Wei Jiangchen, I love you!"

…………

As Jiang Chen walked out of the hotel lobby, many fans waiting in the distance screamed, and many others held up light boards and jumped around to attract his attention.

"They're all very obedient, even die-hard fans need guidance..." He smiled and waved to the crowd before walking towards his car.

Previously, fans would often gather at the hotel entrance, causing great inconvenience. However, Jiang Chen did not know what tricks the virus would play, so he could only dig a pit in advance and wait for the other party to jump out. Therefore, he did not leave the hotel where he was staying. During the live broadcast, he guided everyone to be rational fans so as not to harm innocent people.

So far, the effect seems to be very good. It has neither affected the hotel business nor caused traffic congestion, and there is no one else around when danger occurs, so no accident will happen.

"You adulterer Wei Jiangchen, die!" Just as he was about to open the car door with his car keys, Zhang Chengbo rushed out from the side, his folding knife flashing with a cold edge, and stabbed straight at his right waist!

Jiang Chen felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively dodged to the side, then casually activated his Soul Weapon to attack.

Zhang Chengbo's first strike missed, the sharp blade grazing Wei Jiangchen's right waist and missing its mark. The force of the impact was too strong, and he lost his footing and was about to fall. He gritted his teeth and fiercely stabbed back.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen dodged the attack and instinctively kicked out, striking the opponent's wrist.

"Clang!" Zhang Chengbo, injured and in pain, couldn't hold on and the folding knife fell to the ground; the Soul Weapon stepped forward and completely subdued him.

Only then did the nearest security guards and doormen react and rush forward to help subdue the attacker; some fans in the distance screamed, some ran away, and some hurriedly dialed the police.

"As expected, being prepared is always better than being caught off guard." Jiang Chen touched his kidney, which had almost been stabbed, and the sense of crisis hanging over his heart gradually subsided.

Having figured out the general pattern of the virus, we can now consider a counterattack!

Chapter Sixteen: The Aftermath of Spreading Rumors

"Let me go! I'm going to kill that shameless adulterer!" Zhang Chengbo struggled desperately, but his hands and feet were bound by invisible ropes and he couldn't move. In addition, several burly security guards held his neck, arms and legs tightly and pressed him to his knees on the ground. He was powerless to break free and could only scream and shout with his face red and neck thick.

Jiang Chen had been putting her regular life under the spotlight during the live stream, all for this moment.

With the crisis resolved, he didn't bother arguing with the brainless brute and contacted a lawyer to go directly to the police station.

"What? My husband?" Hua Zaihong was a little confused when she received the call, and her first thought was whether it was a scam call.

My husband wasn't supposed to be back until next weekend, and he's still in Qingyi right now. How could he have ended up at the Fuyu Huahuang Public Security Bureau? And they even said he's suspected of intentional assault?

She is completely focused on her work and has a very clean social circle.

She only knew colleagues who worked hard and earned money diligently, and rarely heard of online rumors or gossip. To this day, she still doesn't know what exactly happened.

"What happened? Sister Hong, if you have something to do, go ahead and take care of it. Once the order is signed, all that's left is to coordinate the restocking. There's no rush." ​​Her colleague noticed that her expression wasn't quite right and asked cautiously.

Hua Zaihong hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Let me check if this is really a police station's phone number. It feels a bit like I've encountered a scam."

When she searched online, it turned out to be a landline number for the Huahuang branch of the Public Security Bureau, which left her even more confused.

What is my husband doing?

He ran out without a word and then stabbed someone with a knife?

"I have to go out for a bit. Could you please help me organize the remaining documents?"

"No problem, take your time!" Upon hearing that she was involved with the police, the other person didn't press her for more information, gave her a few words of advice, and watched her leave.

"Clang clang clang!"

A notification sound suddenly went off in the company group chat. A colleague picked up his phone and saw that it was a message from the social butterfly in the business department.

Relying on her good looks, she always flirted with clients to close deals and looked down on her colleagues who worked diligently in sales. Before Hua Zaihong was transferred to the sales department, the social butterfly was always the top salesperson, but now that she had been surpassed, she was very resentful and would often make sarcastic remarks to Hua Zaihong in public.

The company's seasoned veterans all enjoyed flirting with her and frequently sided with her in ostracizing Hua Zaihong; her colleagues looked down on this "green tea bitch." Therefore, when they saw her post a message in the company's group chat, they scoffed, but after glancing at it, they were immediately stunned.

[Liao Ya: No wonder she went from a clerk to a top salesperson; she has such powerful connections! Although the company can't manage personal lives, it's not good for someone to tarnish the company's image, is it?]

[Liao Ya: Forwarding chat history]

The company's group chat was quiet for a moment, then it exploded.

[Anning: Manager, please withdraw this. The police have already issued a notice; this is malicious rumor-mongering.]

[Bai Xiaochun: I also saw the police notice. Apart from those disgustingly sarcastic remarks in the chat logs, the rest is obviously fabricated.]

[Du Lili: Don't believe or spread rumors. I suggest Sister Hong report it to the police. I can vouch for this with the hotel lobby video footage. Sister Hong went to discuss business cooperation with the hotel manager that day. There are receipts from that day in the company group chat that can be verified.]

[Liao Ya: That's what we were saying! So many people went to negotiate with Huahuang Jincheng before and none of them succeeded. How come Sister Hong landed such a big deal as soon as she stepped in? And it just so happens to be the hotel where Wei Jiangchen stayed. It's all about the details!]

[He Lijing: Xiaoya is right. Sister Hong needs to pay attention to the company's image for the sake of work. Even if this rumor is false, it won't stop people from looking at us strangely, making it seem like the women in the company rely on their looks to close deals.]

[Anning: Police Notice.jpg The innocent have nothing to fear. Don't generalize and condemn everyone just because a few individuals use their looks to get orders. We self-respecting girls wouldn't sell ourselves for a little commission.]

[Ho Li-ching: What do you mean by making veiled attacks?]

[Du Lili: Let's wait for the police investigation to follow up. Sharing and reading this beyond a certain number of times constitutes spreading rumors, which is illegal.]

[Ho Li-ching: The short video of Sister Hong going viral online, her husband attempting to kill her lover Wei Jiang-chen but failing, can this really be whitewashed?]

The company group chat kept buzzing with messages. Hua Zaihong, who was sitting in a taxi on his way to the police station, opened the message absentmindedly and turned pale!
