He released Xu Lei, turned around without a word, and rushed into the crowd to catch the two people.
Guilty conscience, Vice President Li and Vice President Wang, knowing they were involved in this matter, instinctively dodged backward when he lunged at them.
They didn't expect Jiang Jingyu, a mere intern who had just joined the company, to be so reckless, daring to fall out with the leaders in public.
But Jiang Jingyu was already at the peak of his anger, how could he let them dodge? He kicked them, and with two loud thuds, they clutched their waists, supported by the people around them.
The crowd erupted in an uproar.
Initially, some people didn't believe the rumors and thought Lu Jiaying wouldn't do anything with her assistant.
With the screenshots from this morning and Jiang Jingyu's outburst now, their relationship was thoroughly confirmed.
Seeing them supported and still having the audacity to cry out in pain, Jiang Jingyu was about to attack again, but Gu Jiasheng grabbed him.
"That's enough. Aren't you ashamed?"
"Let go of me!"
At this moment, Jiang Jingyu, who was suffering from angina triggered by the insults directed at Lu Jiaying, glared at Hu Jiasheng as well.
"These scumbags! Beasts! Worse than pigs and dogs! I'll kill them today!"
The police officer nearby, seeing Jiang Jingyu pointing the finger at the two, couldn't help but ask.
"So you mean they were also involved in this?"
"They are definitely involved, the three of them colluded! You came just in time, arrest them quickly!"
"Speak properly, why are you yelling?"
Hu Jiasheng found it too embarrassing and shoved him, saying with authority.
"Everyone go back to work. No one is allowed to spread what happened today. Xu Lei, Vice President Zhang, and Vice President Wang, stay behind."
After the crowd dispersed, Vice President Wang and Vice President Li were no longer being held back. Jiang Jingyu broke free from Hu Jiasheng's grasp and rushed at them again.
He kicked them twice more, and the police stopped him.
"Alright, stop hitting. Tell us everything clearly when we get back. You're coming with us too. If there's a problem, they won't get away."
"Also, the female lead in the photos, have her cooperate with our investigation. Where is she?"
It was necessary to clarify the matter, but Lu Jiaying didn't need to go.
Not to mention how badly she was affected by the hurtful remarks, even if she wasn't, Jiang Jingyu couldn't bear for her to go to that unlucky place because of these trash.
"She was framed from start to finish, she didn't know anything that night, and it's useless for her to go. Besides, she's very upset right now and won't be able to say much. I'll go with you."
"When she recovers her emotions, if you absolutely need her testimony, I'll bring her."
Hearing his protective words, Hu Jiasheng had some idea.
It seemed their relationship wasn't entirely based on baseless rumors.
This kid seemed to have really fallen for Lu Jiaying.
The police looked at Hu Jiasheng with some difficulty, and Hu Jiasheng nodded in agreement with Jiang Jingyu's words.
Soon, everyone left the Human Resources Department together.
Before going downstairs and entering the elevator, Jiang Jingyu thought about it again. Unwilling to leave Lu Jiaying, he returned to plead with Hu Jiasheng.
"When I get back, I will give you a reasonable explanation. This is not her fault, she was plotted against and forced by me. Please don't trouble her."
"She's already very upset and broken down. Don't let anyone go near her in the marketing department. Everything can wait until I return."
"Uncle, I've never asked you for anything in my life. Please watch over her and take care of her for me, just this once, okay?"
Thinking of the insults directed at Lu Jiaying and the expression on her face when she saw them, Jiang Jingyu's heart was like a knife.
He was responsible for at least 50% of what Lu Jiaying was going through today.
Before knowing him, she lived a simple and pure life. Now...
He seemed to have grown up overnight, becoming a man who could stand tall.
No matter how difficult the road ahead, no matter how fierce the storm around them, this was the first tribulation he and Lu Jiaying would face together, and he had to endure it for her.
Hu Jiasheng, as someone who had been through love affairs, could see the emotion, determination, and concern for Lu Jiaying in his eyes.
He was a bit surprised by their suddenly exposed relationship. But upon reflection, it wasn't a bad thing.
If the rumors were true, he supported Jiang Jingyu and Lu Jiaying being together.
Not only did he know her background, but Lu Jiaying was also academically excellent, had good character, was capable at work, and was beautiful.
Except that she was a few years older than Jiang Jingyu.
No, being a few years older couldn't be her flaw.
If men were allowed to be a few years older than women, why couldn't women be a few years older than men in a relationship?
As long as they loved each other, had common topics, and shared similar values, they were a match made in heaven.
So, looking at the worried Jiang Jingyu, he calmly patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry. This won't affect my opinion of Jiaying, nor will I object to you two. Go and come back soon. I'll take good care of her."
Jiang Jingyu left, and the marketing department became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone understood the general situation in their hearts but were curious about the details, so they quietly gossiped on social media.
No one was focused on work, and time dragged on until 5 o'clock when they got off work.
Everyone eagerly rushed out to talk, hooking arms and leaving one after another. Only Zhang Xiaoyu remained seated at her workstation for a long time.
But she also had a child to take care of, and although she wanted to accompany Lu Jiaying, her circumstances didn't allow it.
At half past five, she hesitated and then knocked on Lu Jiaying's office door.
"General Manager Lu, may I come in?"
Jiang Jingyu hadn't closed the door when he left, and Lu Jiaying hadn't gotten up to close it. The office door was ajar.
Standing at the doorway, one could see Lu Jiaying leaning back in her chair with a blank expression. The computer screen was tilted on the desk, and the keyboard had fallen on the floor.
The previous Lu Jiaying's office was always neat and tidy, spotless, and she herself was energetic and worked with great efficiency.
This was the first time Zhang Xiaoyu saw her like this. Seeing the horrifying pictures and remarks, she felt worried and heartbroken for her.
Lu Jiaying paused for a few seconds before slowly raising her eyelids. Seeing that it was her, she forced a smile.
She sat up straight, as she always did when receiving subordinates.
"Of course. Come in."
Seeing her forced smile, Zhang Xiaoyu's nose immediately felt sore.
Although she was two years older than Lu Jiaying, her psychological resilience in the face of adversity was truly inferior to hers.
Choking back a sob, she squatted in front of Lu Jiaying. "General Manager Lu, please don't be angry."
"I know what happened today isn't true. Someone is jealous of you and deliberately framed you. So, please don't fall into their trap and don't take it to heart."
"General Manager Hu has already called the police to investigate, and I believe justice will be served soon. The company forum has also been shut down, and this will all pass quickly."
