Jing Yao was stunned for a moment, then looked in that direction.
However, at this moment, the two burly men had already hidden at the corner with the paparazzo. She did not see anything. “Is it because of the trending topic a few days ago? 1 thought this matter was over.”
Liang Xun comforted her. “It’s fine. I’ll handle these things. I’ll send you to the car and wait.”
Jing Yao pursed her lips. “I’ll go with you. I want to see who’s targeting me. After all, they’re targeting me. 1 can’t be muddle-headed and not know anything.”
Liang Xun felt that it made sense, so he nodded. “I’ll bring you over, but you have to listen to me. Stand beside me and don’t get too close to that person.”
Jing Yao nodded hurriedly.
Liang Xun hugged her and walked over. The paparazzo was thin and small. With his size, it was easy to hide. Unfortunately, he could not fight back at all in today’s situation.
After the trending topic came out, Liang Xun hired two bodyguards to follow Jing Yao from afar. Jing Yao didn’t notice it at all.
Liang Xun also felt that there was no need to tell her. If he did, she might still be afraid every day and feel uncomfortable being stared at.
“Boss.” The two burly bodyguards nodded slightly in greeting when they saw Liang Xun.
Liang Xun nodded and looked at the man. “You hid well. You followed me yesterday, right?”
The paparazzo’s hat and mask had already fallen off. At this moment, his thin face was filled with pain. After all, he definitely felt uncomfortable with his hand twisted behind his back.
“Let go of me quickly. I didn’t do anything illegal,” he said angrily.
Liang Xun sneered. “It’s not up to you to decide if you committed a crime or not. We’ll wait for the police to come and bring you for interrogation before handing you over to the court for judgment.”
A trace of fear flashed across the man’s eyes. It was not clear if they had committed a crime. “What exactly do you want?”
Liang Xun said calmly, “I’ll only ask you two questions. Firstly, you followed me yesterday and found out about our current residence. Did you tell the person who sent you about this? Secondly, who paid you to do this?”
The man snorted and said, “I’m only in charge of taking photos. As for the address, I don’t care. She didn’t pay me to do this. Why would I do anything unnecessary? As for the second question, I’m sorry, 1 can’t comment. She’s my employer after paying. 1 can’t sell my employer’s information.”
Liang Xun raised his eyebrows. “Alright, if you don’t want to tell me, go to the police station and tell them.”
After Liang Xun finished speaking, he said to the two bodyguards, “Beat him up and call the police.”
The two bodyguards nodded.
The man was really afraid now. He said fiercely, “It’s illegal for you to hit people.”
Liang Xun sneered. “Read more books. You were the one who followed and violated other people’s privacy. Moreover, they only retaliated when you wanted to hit someone after being discovered. This is considered legitimate self-defense. We can testify to that.”
“You…” The man couldn’t say anything.
Liang Xun hugged the dazed Jing Yao and turned to leave.
“Wait.” The man suddenly stopped the two of them. “If I tell you who it is, will you let me off?”
Liang Xun looked at him disdainfully. “1 can guess even without you saying. Jing Yuan asked you to come, right?”
Jing Yao was slightly stunned, and the man was also stunned.
Liang Xun sneered. “She’s the only one who has been targeting Jing Yao like a mad dog. I asked you just now to give you a chance.”
The man looked a little embarrassed. “Since you already know, get them to let go of me quickly. President Liang is famous. You won’t go back on your word, right?”
Liang Xun raised his eyebrows. “When did I promise you?”
The man looked incredulous, but on careful thought, he realized that Liang Xun had indeed not agreed to it just now.
Liang Xun couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on him. Initially, he only wanted to call the police to deal with it, but this person actually followed him home. If he hadn’t discovered him just now, he might have gone to his house to wait there tomorrow.
Jing Yao was the only one at home, and the bodyguards could only stay around the vicinity. Thinking of this, he couldn’t let this paparazzo off easily. He had to teach him a lesson.
He had clearly given them an opening gambit a few days ago, but this person still dared to take on Jing Yuan’s orders?
Jing Yao was a little dazed. She followed Liang Xun back to the car and did not look too good.
Liang Xun stroked her head. “Your sister is very vengeful to begin with. She probably still hates you for slapping her. Moreover, even without that slap, she would have come up to cause trouble. You don’t have to care about this. Leave it to me..”
