Two days after Qi Cong left his job, Jiang Zhaoyan appeared angrily and opened Qi Cong apartment without ringing a bell. After a while, Qi Cong, still dressed in pajamas, was pulled away by Jiang Zhaoyan.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, Jiang Zhaoyan&#8217;s behavior of finding and pulling away Qi Cong continued from mid-April to May. After that, Jiang Zhaoyan didn\u2019t come back, while Qi Cong began to live behind closed doors.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the beginning of June, a teenager with some resemblance to Jiang Zhaoyan suddenly came and knocked hard on the door of Qi Cong\u2019s apartment. Subtitles appeared again, indicating that this person is Jiang Zhaoxiang.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In July, an obviously drunk Jiang Zhaoyan arrived at Qi Cong\u2019s apartment, opened the door by himself and directly went in. A few minutes later, Jiang Zhaoyan left again with a black face.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From this day on, Jiang Zhaoyan often came over like this inexplicably, either dragging out or arguing with Qi Cong. It continued until early August. No one knows what kind of madness overcame Jiang Zhaoyan, but after coming to Qi Cong\u2019s apartment he dragged a box out of it and then the two of them went into the elevator room, one after the other.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video changed to the trash can placed under the apartment building. Monitors showed that Jiang Zhaoyan dragged out the box from Qi Cong\u2019s apartment directly into the garbage can, and then he walked away. The box wasn\u2019t closed, so all the items inside spilled out after being dumped in the trash. There were photos, mascots, notebooks\u2026 in short all kinds of personal miscellaneous things. Qi Cong, who chased after Jiang Zhaoyan and saw the direction Jiang Zhaoyan left, went to pick his things up one by one.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two days later, Shen Jia&#8217;s figure appeared in the neighborhood. He hurriedly got out of the car and went upstairs. Not even ten minutes later an ambulance drove into the neighborhood.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surveillance images become silent and adjusted to different angles. Such images full of negative energy flashed one after another, and the sense of suffocation and depression caused by them made almost all the netizens who saw the surveillance videos frown.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How awful\u2026.. The feeling of being at home, but dragged out and harassed again and again was like being pulled out of a safe place only to get hurt time after time. Especially the last surveillance video of Jiang Zhaoyan throwing away his things, it almost drove people crazy.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video screen went dark, and just when everyone thought the video had ended, a line of subtitles appeared.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[This was during the time of Qi Cong\u2019s amnesia. After this incident Qi Cong recovered.]<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The surveillance screen reappeared. Qi Cong, together with Shen Jia, appeared together in the corridor of the apartment. His face was pale, but his posture while walking and mental state were obviously different from before. His brow was slightly frowning, but his expression was calm. His shoulders and back were also no longer like those shown in the surveillance before, like he had an almost habitual curve to his head and chest. Now he was naturally straight, and his aura when walking was much more imposing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He and Shen Jia came to the door of the apartment and after he exchanged a few words with Shen Jia, he opened the door, only to close it again. Then he operated the apartment door lock with Shen Jia and set a new lock code. A few minutes later, he came out with Shen Jia.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The netizens soon noticed the change in Qi Cong, and also found that Qi Cong, who always seemed very passive before, appeared to be the one who was in control and took the lead in the short videos with Shen Jia, who also seemed to follow Qi Cong\u2019s pace.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The netizens became a bit dumbfounded.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To tell you the truth,\u00a0 they were already so used to the Qi Cong who was bullied by Jiang Zhaoyan, that seeing this version of Qi Cong felt very\u2026 refreshing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, something even more refreshing happened.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few days later, Jiang Zhaoyan actually came to the door of Qi Cong\u2019s apartment again, and found it was impossible for him to open the apartment lock. After frowning at the lock and pounding at the door a few times in anger, he took out his cell phone to make a call. The call probably didn\u2019t go through, so he cursed a few words and walked toward the elevator looking furious.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After watching the previous depressing images, seeing Jiang Zhaoyan reappear, the netizens were disgusted and instinctively hoped he would quickly go away. However, God didn\u2019t seem to hear their wishes because Jiang Zhaoyan didn\u2019t go away, but instead he waited for Shen Jia and Qi Cong. The two parties met and Shen Jia seemed to want to make a move, but was stopped by Qi Cong. Because of this, Jiang Zhaoyan only became even more arrogant and took a step forward.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The netizens frowned. Just when they thought history was going to repeat itself, Qi Cong suddenly turned around and faced the angry Shen Jia. He raised his hand to turn Shen Jia&#8217;s hat forward, and then followed Jiang Zhaoyan&#8217;s action of grabbing his arm and turned it into a punch!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Netizens: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\uff1f\uff01\uff01\uff01<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watching Jiang Zhaoyan incredulously bent over to cover his abdomen, all netizens were stunned and wide-eyed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was also not the end. After the punch, Qi Cong immediately held Jiang Zhaoyan against the wall like a chicken, tugging at Jiang Zhaoyan\u2019s tie with his fingers and tightening it bit by bit as he said something to his face. His profile captured by the surveillance camera had a soft expression, but his eyes were cold, full of killing intent. After speaking, Qi Cong shrugged off Jiang Zhaoyan, took the tissue handed over by Shen Jia with a smile and wiped the arm previously held by Jiang Zhaoyan. Then he took Shen Jia with him and he walked away.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crap .\u2026 wow\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All netizens were stunned.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This fierce, ruthless and handsome person was the same Qi Cong who was previously bullied by Jiang Zhaoyan, unable to fight back?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then the video was over.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Netizens stood still on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Qi Cong seemed to be quite different from what they imagined.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They hastily opened the phone recording in the post, and then they immediately frowned again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, a low male voice came out: &#8220;Qi Cong go out and make a statement, as long as you make a statement, I promise you everything. This time this matter was caused by Jiang Tian&#8217;s own initiative. He went and did it. When I knew of it, it was already too late to change his tune. I had no choice but to follow public opinion. You go and make a statement, I can make it up to you. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was\u2026 Jiang Zhaoyan?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another gentle male voice that was a bit sandy answered in a low tone: \u201cHow do you want me to make a statement?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This timbre was too special. Many netizens sensitive to the sound couldn\u2019t help but rub their ears. Other less sensitive netizens were also a bit dumbfounded.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was Qi Cong\u2019s voice? After seeing a lot of Qi Cong\u2019s wishy-washy appearance and behavior, they thought his voice would be the ordinary honest type, but they didn&#8217;t expect it to be quite so special. It had a unique quality.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first male voice continued to speak, asking the gentle male voice to take responsibility for the product quality problems and after-sales chaos of Yanhuang. The tone of voice was domineering, issuing orders while being very disrespectful.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Netizens were disgusted back to their senses.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then the gentle male voice asked about the compensation. The first male answered: \u201cQi Cong, the Beishi branch, I will let you be in charge\u2026 as long as you want, you can always stay close to me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Netizens: &#8230;&#8230; vomit.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, a low laugh rang out. The gentle voice turned into a more airy tone, as if a rustling tail was slightly hooked, like a feather scratching a person&#8217;s eardrum.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was like a good romance novel.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The netizens who were sensitive to sound felt their scalps tingling.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God, this laugh.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pace of the recording began to quicken, as the gentle male voice chilled. He questioned again, and the first male voice began to sound exasperated and interrupted by him. He used that overly specific gentle teasing voice to scold the first male voice in a threatening and cornering manner, after which the recording ended.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But while the recording ended, that particular vocal timbre still seemed to sound in their ears.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of times the recording was played began to increase at a rate visible to the naked eye, while the comment section that was very quiet, began to buzz. One of the most liked comments by netizens has absolutely nothing to do with eating melons but\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voice Control Society: Mr. Qi Cong are you interested in being a Voice Actor?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a brief period of stagnation and bandwagoning, public opinion erupted with a roar.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one know who cut together several recordings, interviews and surveillance videos of Jiang Zhaoqiang, Jiang Tian, Jiang Zhaoyan and Jiang Zhaoyan&#8217;s mother, along with Qi Yin&#8217;s video and Qi Cong being bullied by Jiang Zhaoyan.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiang Tian said: Qi Cong has left the company, so it is most appropriate for him to take responsibility!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiang Zhaoqiang said: Qi Cong is a dog raised by my brother!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiang Zhaoyan&#8217;s mother said: &#8220;I haven&#8217;t even seen the boy surnamed Qi so how could I hit him?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiang Zhaoyan said: Qi Cong go out and make a statement, as long as you make a statement, I promise you everything. I will let you stay close to me.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video images of surveillance tape flashed by. Jiang Zhaoyan scolding Qi Cong, breaking into Qi Cong\u2019s home, and dragging and pulling Qi Cong around. Images of him throwing away Qi Cong things. Video showing Jiang Zhaoxiang came to Qi Cong&#8217;s door to scold him. Surveillance of Jiang Zhaoyan&#8217;s own mother rushing into the office to hit and scold Qi Cong.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scenes went faster and faster and then abruptly slowed down. Qi Yin held up a test report saying toward the camera: \u201cMy child is sick.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The background changed and became page after page of examination reports that seem to never end.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Yin said: This is a bad debt that no one can calculate clearly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Yin said: I just hope that he won\u2019t be able to remember the past three years for the rest of his life. I hope he can make a clean break with everything related to Jiang Zhaoyan.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the video, the screen went blank. Then a picture of a news report that was captured appeared. The title of the report was: Yanghuang Smart Home, sponsorship of &#8220;Legend of Youths&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report disappeared and a line of subtitles appeared.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[The nightmare is making a comeback.]<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video ended, but the thrill of that last news report and those words couldn\u2019t be dispersed for a long time. No one could speak out anything that would question or insult Qi Cong, because anyone could see that the Jiang family was indeed a complete nightmare for Qi Cong.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At two o&#8217;clock in the afternoon, Zhao Zhenxun pushed open Qi Cong\u2019s door and spoke to him. Qi Cong was sitting on a single sofa and constantly checking his phone. \u201cAfter two days, it&#8217;s time to go out and bask in the sun. Let&#8217;s go and try on your costume.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong looked out of the window at the bright sun, then looked at the popular ranking list on Weibo full of his name. Letting out a long breath, he locked his phone and went to the bathroom to change out of his pajamas. He walked towards Zhao Zhenxun, who was waiting at the door with his backpack.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Zhenxun reminded him, &#8220;Bring your hat.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong was puzzled.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;You are no less famous than some artists now.&#8221; Zhao Zhenxun informed him, &#8220;Also there is all kinds of media out there.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Edited by: Antiope1<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only then did people come to their senses one after another.
