446 Dropping A Sock Puppet Account? (2)
Shen Yuansong immediately said with disdain, “Don’t greet me like that. I don’t know you.”
He didn’t acknowledge Shen Qianhui so that he could avoid disturbing her life. There was actually a little self-deceit involved.
However, he couldn’t deny that there was a bit of selfishness as well. He actually looked down on Jing Zhen, a small-time actor. How was this man worthy of his daughter? Just based on his appearance?
Therefore, Shen Yuansong had a bad attitude toward Jing Zhen.
When Shen Yuansong got angry, the scene became a little awkward.
Seeing this, Chu Cichen coughed and looked at Jing Zhen. “Father-in-law, you…”
Jing Zhen’s face darkened again. “Don’t call me, I…”
He didn’t finish his sentence and realized that Shen Yuansong was looking at him, so he took a different tack. “You two aren’t married yet! You can’t call me father-in-law!”
Chu Cichen. “…”
He obediently changed his words. “Uncle, how did you know that Jingjing was arrested?”
Jing Zhen replied, “This matter has caused a sensation and made it into the news! How could I not know?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Cichen and Shen Yuansong’s faces darkened.
Shen Yuansong exclaimed, “This is bad!”
Chu Cichen suddenly turned his head and looked at Dugu Xiao. “Was it you?!”
Dugu Xiao was leaning against the doorway. Because Chu Cichen had seen through his intentions, he had put away his unruly appearance. At the moment, he only smiled coldly. “Of course. Public opinion is always a useful tool!”
After speaking, he looked outside. “The reporters should be hiding outside, right? Shen Ruojing, even if the law can’t punish you, the netizens will. I believe you won’t be able to stay in China after being scolded by them.”
He finally raised the corners of his mouth. “Welcome abroad.”
Once they left the country and were bereft of China’s protection, his dark web organization would be able to organize assassinations!
However, Jing Zhen said, “What’s wrong with a few curses from netizens? They can’t sentence anyone! Once my case file is confirmed to be genuine, Jingjing will be released without charge. We can just hide for a while and not read those online comments, right?”
“Foolish!” Shen Yuansong scolded him. “If people hide, they may be safe. But can Jingjing hide forever? Most importantly, if her reputation can’t be salvaged, she might not have a chance to become the head of the science association!”
Scientists hated those who used science as a weapon as they had great respect for science!
If the public was angrily scolding Shen Ruojing, even if Shen Yuansong suppressed them, the people in the science association might not dare to elect her as their head!
As several people were pondering, Dugu Xiao suddenly smirked and strode past them.
Seeing his expression, Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen exchanged a glance and instantly understood what was going on.
Chu Cichen hurriedly chased after him, but he was one step too late!
As soon as Dugu Xiao stepped outside, the surrounding reporters swarmed around him, bombarding him with questions.
“Are you here because of Professor Z’s case?”
“Did Professor Z really invent the No. 5 Neurotoxin?”
“Is she a bad person? Why did she invent this thing?”
Facing the reporters’ inquiries, Dugu Xiao smiled and said, “According to Professor Z, Miss Shen, she was forced to do it.”
“Who forced her?”
“Do you have any evidence?”
Dugu Xiao shrugged and replied, “I don’t know. You should ask Old Master Shen and Captain Zheng. After all, Old Master Shen has made many contributions to the special department over the years!”
The reporters immediately caught on to something sensitive. “Are you saying that Old Master Shen has bribed Captain Zheng?”
Dugu Xiao quickly responded, “I don’t know anything about that. But Miss Shen is about to be acquitted. It’s said that her grandfather and father have presented evidence of her innocence. Oh, and they said that Miss Shen was abducted by human traffickers when she was eleven years old and that she developed the No. 5 Neurotoxin in order to protect herself.”
He recounted Shen Ruojing’s story in advance.
“Absurd!” One reporter immediately exclaimed.
“This is obviously a fabricated lie. Human traffickers usually kidnap older girls over the age of fifteen, who can be sold as wives, or young children without memories, who can be bought and sold easily. Why would they kidnap an eleven-year-old? This is clearly a lie with a loophole!”
“To go to such lengths to clear her name… how shameless!”
Dugu Xiao raised an eyebrow. “Is that so? Hearing you say that, it suddenly occurred to me that she said the human traffickers had captured her and kept her for half a year…”
