Chapter 253 - 232: The Law Will Protect Me
Chapter 253: Chapter 232: The Law Will Protect Me
Ji Xizhi finished gathering the information she wanted and didn’t waste any more time. She stood up and left Ji Yezong’s side.
Ji Yezong gritted his teeth, his face twisted in pain, yet he still threatened, shouting, “Ji Xizhi, I’m telling you, you can’t escape from my grasp! Just you wait!”
Ji Xizhi responded with just two words, “Suit yourself.”
Ji Xizhi was indifferent and strode forward.
Bai Zhe stood not far away. From the initial panic, he had now calmed down.
Especially when he saw Ji Xizhi’s stunningly beautiful face getting closer and closer.
Bai Zhe thought it through thoroughly.
The scene of Ji Xizhi taking down Ji Yezong was indeed quite terrifying, but that was for others! It wasn’t the same with him!
He wasn’t like that fool Bai Xing from the last episode. In this episode, at least he’s a guest on the show. Besides that, he’s also a popular member of the ak team. No matter how strong Ji Xizhi is, she wouldn’t lay a hand on him.
This thought brought Bai Zhe a sense of relief.
As he looked at the man lying on the beach, new ideas emerged in his mind.
Apparently, the man had a significant relationship with Ji Xizhi. If he could help Ji Xizhi keep this secret, winning over Ji Xizhi would be a breeze.
After all, in the entertainment industry, who doesn’t have some private matters? Grasping a handle is clearly more reliable than capturing love. Of course, it’s best if through this handle, Ji Xizhi could rely on him and fall in love with him, that would be infallible.
Bai Zhe, thinking he had seized the key, wore an even broader smile.

After handling matters with Ji Yezong, Ji Xizhi originally intended to return directly to the show to continue filming.
But she didn’t expect to take just two steps and see Bai Zhe standing stiffly not far away.
The place where Bai Zhe stood was somewhat dim, and along with not having a show photographer following him, it wasn’t easy to notice without walking closer.
It was also when Ji Xizhi got closer that she noticed him.
Bai Zhe was a guest on the show, so since they met, Ji Xizhi politely greeted him.
“Has the show’s dinner ended?”
Bai Zhe: “No, I specifically came to pick you up.”
Bai Zhe deliberately stressed the “specifically” in his words.
Ji Xizhi thought Bai Zhe was called by her show photographer to come here, so she didn’t say much, only offered a thank you.
Upon hearing that Ji Xizhi didn’t refuse, Bai Zhe immediately felt he had predicted it right.
Bai Zhe smiled gently and said, “I will keep tonight’s incident a secret for you. I know it must be tough for a girl in this situation. It would be great if someone could protect you in the future~”
Ji Xizhi wasn’t familiar with Bai Zhe. Her mind was still on matters concerning Ji Yezong, and she didn’t pay much attention to the first part of Bai Zhe’s remark, but she caught the latter part.
Recalling Bai Zhe talking about wanting to learn legal knowledge in front of everyone today, Ji Xizhi replied earnestly, “The law will protect me.”
She added after saying that.
“Whether it’s girls or boys, the law protects every citizen’s legitimate rights from being violated. These are basic legal principles.”
Ji Xizhi’s voice was calm yet carried an inherent sense of justice.
Bai Zhe had been thinking of ways to invoke Ji Xizhi’s desire to be protected. Hearing her words, the little hope he had crashed into a wall, getting crushed.

After speaking, Ji Xizhi turned to look at Bai Zhe intentionally.
Bai Zhe: “…”
“Teacher Ji, you make a very good point.”
Ji Xizhi nodded in agreement, “There’s still a lot to learn.”
The two walked side by side along the beach. It should have been a romantic atmosphere, but Bai Zhe didn’t speak again.
Ji Xizhi and Bai Zhe headed toward the cruise ship along the coast.
Behind them, not far from the beach, in a place without any lighting, a young man in black clothing and a baseball cap squatted.
The man almost blended into the darkness. If not for the faint light from the phone in his hand, he would have been unnoticeable.
If there had been any live streaming cameras from the crew nearby, some keen-eyed fans would have analyzed and identified from the phone’s slight light that the man was none other than the university student Black Fan “Brother Sleep,” who had sued Ji Xizhi long ago.
After an incident at his family’s factory followed by losing the online-funded lawsuit against Ji Xizhi, he had begged Ji Xizhi to let him go, but she refused. As a result, the netizens who financed him now pursued him at school for money, leaving him with no school, no family assets—he had lost everything!
All because of Ji Xizhi! If it wasn’t for Ji Xizhi, he would still be an heir, living comfortably. Ji Xizhi climbed up by stepping on his family; she deserves to die!
The man’s cold gaze fell on the beach where Ji Yezong struggled to get up. Then he turned his eyes to Ji Xizhi’s back, madness gleaming in them.

When Ji Xizhi and Bai Zhe reached the vicinity of the cruise ship, the show’s dinner time had indeed ended.
But it wasn’t as joyous as expected.
The crew already knew about Ji Xizhi’s incident; due to a temporary interruption in the live broadcast, her trending search had spread online.
Coupled with the previous trending search about Ji Xizhi’s donation of broadcasting equipment to Lishui County, alongside the trending topic of her allegedly not treating her biological mother, both searches climbed rapidly online, entangled with each other.
The contrast between the two topics was particularly stark.
People who were unaware of the situation didn’t even need to click for details; they were already overwhelmed with disgust.
Family love and filial piety have always been hotly debated topics that web users love to engage with, and they’re the most potent leverage for moral coercion, easily binding people tightly!
Those pulling the strings behind the scenes were well aware of this.
Legal knowledge couldn’t defeat Ji Xizhi, so they aimed to use moral boundaries to destroy her!
