Actually, there’s a small path behind the mountain that leads down, but not many people know about it.
Aunt Li said, "I’ll listen to the young lady, we have enough food supplies to last four or five days, that’s not a problem. But Miss, are we just going to do nothing? I think we should call the police now."
Yun Ya shook her head, "Calling the police won’t help." She just wanted to know what the person behind all this provocation really intended. Was it simply revenge, or was there another purpose? Yun Ya felt that things weren’t that simple. She was waiting for Uncle Chang’s news. Only by knowing the identity of the person behind it and speculating on their motives could they act accordingly. Right now, the safest move is to stay still like a mountain.
Uncle Chang stationed bodyguards around the manor to patrol, preventing anyone from jumping over the wall and intruding. Six additional bodyguards were dispatched to the main gate, which was already a tall and imposing iron bar gate but quite easy to climb over. Although the gate had alarm devices installed, they might not withstand those agitators’ collective attack. Fortunately, until now, these people were only gathering at the gate, shouting slogans, and splashing paint, without taking any further actions.
Ji Die was extrely frightened, hiding in her room and not coming out. It was her first ti encountering sothing like this, leaving her utterly confused with no good ideas other than hiding.
Qin Du called, already aware of the situation. He had called the police and was driving over.
"Brother Ah Du, don’t use the main entrance, go around to the back mountain. I’ll tell you the specific route. You can co in from the back mountain, and I’ll send soone to pick you up."
Qin Du’s appearance would push the situation to a new breaking point, which wasn’t a good sign.
Yun Ya hung up Qin Du’s call, arranged for a trusted bodyguard to go to the back mountain to pick him up, and then received Pei Qinghan’s call.
"Do you need my help?" His voice was as gentle and soothing as he was, like the coolest breeze in the sumr, instantly calming one’s chaotic emotions.
"Aren’t we friends? If you refuse now, you’re not treating as a friend." Fearing Yun Ya would decline, he preemptively spoke.
Yun Ya pressed her lips together, "Then, thank you."
"What do you need to do? Just tell ."
——
Ning Zihuan heard about Yun Ya’s trouble, cursed under his breath, and rushed to the Ji Family Manor with his people. How dare these people cause trouble? They must have the guts of a lion.
He called Yun Ya midway, concerned about how she was doing and if she was being bullied.
Yun Ya, hearing that he was on his way with reinforcents, felt exasperated and amused, "Don’t be impulsive, don’t confront them head-on. Otherwise, even if it’s not my fault, it’ll beco my fault in this society driven by public opinion. Do you want to ruin ?"
Ning Zihuan snorted coldly, "Those people deserve to die."
Yun Ya sighed, "It’s not them who deserve to die, but the people instigating them from behind. Zihuan, if you really want to help , don’t be impulsive. Help with sothing else."
"Tell ."
Yun Ya hung up the call, and Uncle Chang walked over briskly, "Miss, we’ve got the information. It turns out soone is indeed stirring trouble behind the scenes. Initially, we traced the manor’s information back to a gossip forum’s blogger. When we contacted the forum’s administrator, we found out this person worked for a small entertainnt company, usually spreading posts and instigating publicity online. As long as they’re paid, they can spread any rumor. Finding this person wasn’t difficult. He admitted that soone he t online asked him to spread the rumor, with a prepaid amount of fifty thousand, and another fifty thousand after the job was done."
"One hundred thousand dollars just to spread a rumor? Ha... quite a lavish hand." Yun Ya sneered, curling her lip.
A flash of insight crossed her mind. She had been neglecting a crucial clue regarding the manor’s ownership. Besides herself, even Yun Shen didn’t know. How could this person be so clear about it unless they knew the Ji Family’s matters thoroughly? Perhaps, the person was a Ji Family mber.
An image erged vividly in her mind. She couldn’t help but clench her fist resentfully. Couldn’t wait any longer, huh? But what was the purpose of doing this?
Did they want the manor? Or did they want to push her into a swamp where no reputation could save her, and people would only bla her more?
Is that their goal?
But unfortunately, the manor was the inheritance left by her grandfather. It was ho for her and Miaomiao, and she would never sell it to atone for Yun Shen. Not even worth considering.
"The person only appeared online. The IP address shows it was inside so internet cafe, making it very difficult to locate. We haven’t found the person’s whereabouts yet."
