Ying’er took a deep breath and glared at Zhao Kaiwen, "I’ve detailed the specific situations for both times. Your whereabouts are on surveillance records, which cannot be falsified. Fine, if you feel wronged, go ahead and mention other times. Zhao Kaiwen, we’ve thoroughly investigated all of your movements. Do you really think you can slander me?"
Zhao Kaiwen’s face turned ashen, and he slumped to the ground. He hadn’t expected Ying’er to have dug up his movements from last year. How could he continue to slander Ying’er now!
"Damn it, you bastard, say something!" a man standing closest to the stage roared furiously.
"Yeah, say something, if you have the guts, speak up!"
"The damn son of a bitch, slandering our Ying’er, are you asking for death!"
"Kill him, I’m gonna fucking kill him!"
"To hell with you, I’m going to end your life!"
The crowd below was enraged, and some even tried to rush onto the stage to beat him. Thankfully, security guards nearby were holding them back, preventing the furiously emotional crowd from possibly beating Zhao Kaiwen to death on the spot!
In fact, these security guards were also seething with anger. While protecting him, a few guards even took the chance to kick him a few times. Despite the guards’ protection, Zhao Kaiwen ended up with a bloody mouth and in a sorry state.
Ying’er felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration; she had asked all her questions just as Su Yang had instructed. She hadn’t expected to actually expose Zhao Kaiwen . However, she couldn’t understand how Su Yang knew all these things about Zhao Kaiwen. And why did Su Yang understand her movements so well?
What she didn’t know was that Su Yang had used the Soul Searching Technique to probe Zhao Kaiwen, gaining an exceptionally clear understanding of Zhao’s situation. Otherwise, none of this would have happened. Now, her chances to clear her name had become even slimmer.
Seeing that the situation had turned against him, Zhao Kaiwen attempted to leave with a defeated look.
At that moment, Ying’er spoke up, "Zhao Kaiwen, do you think you can just walk away ?"
"Don’t let him get away!"
The crowd shouted, and the security guards, decisive in their action, directly stopped Zhao Kaiwen.
"Didn’t you hear Miss Ying’er questioning you!" one security guard, gripping Zhao Kaiwen’s neck, bellowed angrily, "Oh, when you came to slander Miss Ying’er, it was so easy for you to talk. Now that Miss Ying’er has proved you lied, you want to slip away? No such luck, get back here and answer properly!"
Seeing the fearsome demeanor of the security guards, Zhao Kaiwen didn’t dare to even let out a fart, sheepishly returning to the stage looking extremely distressed. After this incident, he would become a rat crossing the street; forget this industry, he might not be able to work in any field in the future.
"Zhao Kaiwen, do you have anything else to say now?" Ying’er said coldly, "If you still insist on the accusations you made earlier, then let’s talk about our schedules!"
Zhao Kaiwen, with his head lowered, didn’t dare to speak.
"You have nothing to say?" Ying’er’s voice was cold, "If you don’t talk, then I will. Zhao Kaiwen, come clean, who told you to slander me? I know you wouldn’t have the courage to do this on your own!"
Zhao Kaiwen continued to hang his head in silence.
The crowd couldn’t hold back any longer and furiously demanded Zhao Kaiwen to answer.
"Goddammit, speak up!"
"Are you a man or not, daring to say it but not owning up?"
"Reveal who’s pulling your strings, and I’ll let you live!"
"Fuck his grandpa, if you don’t speak, I’ll kill you today!"
The crowd was exceptionally angry, feeling guilty for their previous doubts about Ying’er. Now they only wanted to make amends through action.
Zhao Kaiwen, disheartened, still hung his head in silence.
Yet Ying’er remained calm, "Zhao Kaiwen, about this matter, I know you’re not the mastermind; you were just used by someone else. If you reveal the person behind this, I won’t target you. But if you don’t, you won’t be able to bear the consequences of this alone!"
Zhao Kaiwen’s complexion instantly turned pale. Yes, if the Shangguan family really pursued the matter, he was as good as dead. Such serious defamation had caused such an adverse effect; if the Shangguan family decided to leverage their connections to deal with him, he estimated he could end up rotting away in prison.
"You might not say it, but I know who did it," Ying’er said languidly. "However, if you tell, it’s like pointing him out, and it could count as making amends for your own actions. If you don’t tell, it means you’re prepared to shoulder this incident on your own. But, can you bear it? Zhao Kaiwen, will you speak or not?"
Zhao Kaiwen completely broke down, his voice trembling as he said, "I... I’ll tell, I’ll tell. This matter was... was... Huo Dongjun put me up to it..."
Upon hearing this, the entire room was in an uproar, everyone was shocked.
It was Huo Dongjun again!
The incident with Lan Ci before was caused by Huo Dongjun!
Now with Zhao Kaiwen’s issue, it was also Huo Dongjun!
Did it even need saying?
It was plainly the Huo Family slandering Ying’er!
"Motherfucking bastard, Huo Dongjun, that son of a bitch!" Fınd the newest release on NoveI★Fire.net
"Fuck his ancestors, this bastard Huo Dongjun, does he even have the face to be human?"
"Huo Dongjun is Huo Qianfang’s uncle, it looks like he did this for Huo Qianfang to rise to power!"
"Detestable, for fuck’s sake, I’ll look down on Huo Qianfang for the rest of my life!"
"I’m blacklisting Huo Qianfang for life!"
The crowd was furious, their emotions reaching a boiling point.
Upstairs in a room, Huo Dongjun watched everything unfold from beginning to end, his face turning a ghastly shade of iron blue.
He had thought that with Zhao Kaiwen’s appearance, Ying’er would be slandered once again, ensuring she couldn’t turn the situation around.
He had never dreamed that after Zhao Kaiwen took the stage, not only would he fail to discredit Ying’er, but he would also help clear her name once more.
At this point, all accusations against Ying’er were gone.
But now, those very issues had transferred onto him. This time, he was finished. He probably wouldn’t hold onto his position as General Manager. Once back home, the family was sure to punish him severely!
"Damn it all, how did it come to this!" Huo Dongjun cursed loudly, smashing his fist onto the table and shattering the glass.
The people beside him were so frightened they bowed their heads and busied themselves with their eyes, not a single person daring to speak. By now, it was evident that Huo Dongjun was truly ruined!
At that moment, the door was pushed open.
"Who the hell enters without knocking!" Huo Dongjun roared, but as he looked up, he was stunned.
The person who walked in was Huo Qianfang, her face livid with anger as she said in a stern voice, "Seventh Uncle, did you do this?"
Huo Dongjun looked panicked. Although he was Huo Qianfang’s seventh uncle, his status within the family was far below hers.
The Huo Family was a rather peculiar clan, traditionally marked by the prosperity of male offspring while daughters were exceedingly rare.
In Huo Qianfang’s generation, she was the sole girl, while there were dozens of boys.
Under such circumstances, Huo Qianfang was the apple of every elder’s eye. Not only was she extremely doted on by the patriarch, but everyone in the family also held her in special affection. Huo Qianfang’s status in the family was even comparable to that of the patriarch.
