Chapter 713: Chapter 713: Still Holding Onto a Slim Chance
Shi Mufeng was taken aback by the counter-question, “What do you mean?”
They had come without a word, leading a group of people, and were blocking the hotel from letting him leave, and they wanted to force him to go somewhere—even claiming he was the bully?
Gu Ming was unsure if he was feigning ignorance or truly clueless, so he didn’t say much more, “Mr. Shi, you might want to ask Miss Rong behind you what she has done. Once you find out, you’ll understand.”
—Mr. Shi, you might want to ask Miss Rong behind you what she has done. Once you find out, you’ll understand!
Shi Mufeng hadn’t expected the topic to be turned towards Rong Weiwei; he turned his head with a whoosh and looked at the delicate little woman leaning against him.
Rong Weiwei’s almond eyes widened innocently, and she quickly said, “I don’t know, I really don’t know what happened.”
She washed her hands of the matter completely, her tender, helpless appearance like that of a pure, innocent little flower.
Gu Ming felt like laughing as he watched her and said, staring at her face, “Miss Rong, you’re not going to find it easy to deny things at this point. Mr. Li has warned you countless times, but you haven’t taken them to heart, have you? Do you think Mr. Li can’t do anything to you?”
His words hit close to home for Rong Weiwei.
“Mr. Li might not do anything to you, but that’s under the premise that our future Young Madam has no interest in dealing with you. You have not been behaving yourself lately, stirring up trouble instead. You caused our Young Madam to get hurt; this time, if you think you can simply deny everything and Mr. Li will just let you off easily, you’re probably mistaken.”
Shi Mufeng listened, muddled and confused, and looked at him to demand, “What has Weiwei done? What do you mean? What does Weiwei have to do with Rong Yan getting hurt?”
He was midway through speaking when he seemed to realize something, and his face turned ugly as he suddenly turned to look at Rong Weiwei, “You…”
Rong Weiwei felt nervous with his gaze upon her, her eyebrows throbbing, she clutched her hands tightly and immediately explained, “Mufeng, don’t you trust me? I really don’t know anything. I had no idea my sister got hurt; they came out of nowhere and started accusing me of all sorts.”
Shi Mufeng watched her anxious and nervous demeanor, not seeing any sign of lying. Yet, everything was too coincidental… When they were about to leave the private room, that new artist from KT Entertainment rushed to find her, saying she’d tampered with the champagne. Now Li Shengxiao’s men had come, accusing her of causing Rong Yan’s injury. It was impossible that everyone was framing her, right?
Besides, given that man’s extremely anxious disposition about Rong Yan, it was absolutely impossible that he would use Rong Yan’s injury to frame her…
Li Shengxiao could easily crush Weiwei if he wanted, even with Shi Mufeng’s protection.
Why would such a powerful man go to the trouble of fabricating such an elaborate scheme just to frame her, an insignificant character who could be crushed easily?
Shi Mufeng looked at the woman with misty eyes in front of him, feeling utterly conflicted. He moved his gaze away, not responding to her, yet still stood in front of her, “Weiwei has been with me the whole time; I can vouch for her. She couldn’t have hurt Rong Yan. You must be mistaken! With Rong Yan’s rapid rise in the entertainment industry, she has plenty of envious people behind her. Her injury could have been caused by someone else; don’t just look at us and assume we did it. We don’t have that much time to focus on her.”
Gu Ming scoffed, looking at him and signaled to the bodyguards with a wave of his hand, giving the order, “Mr. Shi, you might as well save those explanations for Mr. Li when we arrive. I am only responsible for taking Mr. Shi and Miss Rong there! Take them away!”
