"I actually thought he was a kind-hearted businessman, but he turned out to be just like others with money, all of them dog-things with the hearts of beasts!"
A group of media people were indignant, cursing loudly.
Yang Yu just watched them perform coldly, acting as if they were aggrieved and acting righteously.
"Just as Yang Yu said earlier, unless there is absolute evidence, I simply cannot prove that he laid his hands on me," Ye Hua went on to say, "I finally understand why he said those words before. They were tailor-made excuses for the things he had done, wailing..."
"Ye Hua, sister, you’re very brave! Don’t worry, even without evidence, we’ll make him lose all his reputation, make his name stink in the streets. I don’t believe there will still be people willing to marry or do business with someone like him," Mou Yiyi said very angrily.
The other media people and reporters were echoing one after another, "Right, we’ll also help you!"
"So now, everyone can be a judge, huh!" Yang Yu finally spoke up, "Without any evidence, you are only willing to believe what you choose to, and then you carry out an internet lynching on an innocent person like me, is that the kind of professional ethics you media people have?"
"And you, Ye Hua, when something happens, you don’t report to the police first, but choose to write little essays, allowing people to form their opinions first, and then using your status as a woman, a disadvantaged group, to crucify me on the pillar of shame."
"Even if one day I clear myself of the false charges, you will still use another sentence to condemn me: ’Just because you didn’t do it this time doesn’t mean you didn’t do it before. A fly doesn’t land on a seamless egg, so you must have had such thoughts to give others a chance,’" he continued.
"As for you, reporter Mou Yiyi, I don’t know where the wealthy have offended you, but I haven’t, and yet you repeatedly attack and slander me because of this label."
"I forgave you last time, this time, if you dare to affect my reputation again, I’ll let you know what’s called the iron fist of the law!"
Yang Yu’s words were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, infuriating the group even more: "Yang Yu, we’ll write and curse you to death right now, I really want to see how you can deal with us!"
"Right, what kind of age do we live in where you’re trying to stop the mouths of people everywhere? We’ll also let you know what it’s like to incur the wrath of the masses!"
"Fine, since you all listen to Ye Hua and stand by her side, no problem, just don’t regret it," Yang Yu said with a calm face, "You just go ahead and post. Once you’re done, I’ll report to the police, and none of you will get away."
"Heh, as if we’re afraid of you!" These people all started to pick up their cellphones and laptops, beginning to write all sorts of colorful descriptions.
They not only portrayed Yang Yu as a desperate lecher but also described him as an arrogant brute, a wealthy man who was unkind and wanted to cover the sky with one hand.
"You’re done posting, now sue us, call the police to arrest us!" The reporters were all arrogantly out of control, and Mou Yiyi looked at Yang Yu with a face full of mockery, "Rich man, let’s taste the counterpunch of the law, come on! You really think having money means you can do whatever you want!"
Confronted with the provocation of the group, Yang Yu casually made three phone calls: "Ah Fan, lock the IP addresses, preserve the evidence."
"Mr. Fu Xiushi, blacklist these media people who attacked me from the entire network."
"Tianhai Police, I’m reporting a case of slander."
After Yang Yu made these three phone calls, everyone’s face changed.
"Lock the IP addresses, preserve the evidence? Is this guy serious?"
"Fu Xiushi? Isn’t that the media tycoon? He actually listens to Yang Yu?"
"He actually called the police!"
"What’s there to be afraid of? He doesn’t have any evidence proving he didn’t make moves on Ye Hua, right? And her clothes were indeed torn, so he’s more or less a suspect. We’re not wrong!" Mou Yiyi was also a bit afraid, but she still felt that there was safety in numbers, and Yang Yu couldn’t do anything to them.
Over these years of fighting online battles, when have these journalists ever lost?
At this moment, Ye Hua took her turn to act: "Mr. Yang, it’s one thing for you to bully me, but to even try to have me thrown in jail, you really are ruthless!"
"Heh, just wait," Yang Yu laughed coldly, "I’ll let you scumbags understand one thing, everyone has to be responsible for their own words!"
The police arrived quickly. After exchanging a few words with Yang Yu, they turned to Ye Hua and said, "Ms. Ye Hua, you are suspected of defamation. Please come with us."
"What?" Ye Hua’s face changed drastically, "You’re the police, you can’t side with the rich!"
The other journalists also started to clamor: "You serve the people, not the rich!"
"We’re not siding with the rich, we’re governed by evidence," the leading officer said with an air of integrity, "Mr. Yang, I think it’s best if you present your evidence to prevent these journalists and self-media from spreading rumors and causing negative influence."
"Sure." Yang Yu took out his phone, and Ye Hua hurriedly said, "Recordings on a phone can be faked!"
"Who said I only have recordings?" Yang Yu said slowly, "I have videos as well."
Yang Yu pulled out his phone and broadcasted the video evidence on the large screen in the auditorium.
As a result, everything that had happened between Ye Hua and Yang Yu in the room was revealed to all the journalists and media personnel present.
Then, the whole crowd was dumbfounded!
Ye Hua stared at Yang Yu in disbelief: "Impossible, when did you record this?"
"I suspected your bad intentions from the moment you came to me, so I took precautions," Yang Yu said, "Don’t say I set you up. I just didn’t want to be pegged as some arrogant rich guy who ignores his own junior. I warned you to watch yourself, but you didn’t listen."
Having said that, Yang Yu turned to the police and said, "Officers, thank you for your hard work."
"Mm-hmm." The leading officer nodded and waved his hand, "Take all these people away too."
Instantly, the journalists were horrified, and Mou Yiyi’s face turned pale with fear: "We were deceived by that Ye Hua too, it’s an understandable mistake!"
"Right, officers, we were misled too, can you please not arrest us?"
The leading officer looked at them sternly: "Mr. Yang had already communicated with you all earlier, and I’ve seen the video online. But you people were too arrogant, using your platform to try and ruin someone, causing their downfall. You all are even more despicable."
"Unless Mr. Yang doesn’t sue you, none of you can escape!"
Hearing that they could go free if Yang Yu didn’t press charges, the journalists quickly turned around, ready to plea for Yang Yu’s mercy.
Yang Yu didn’t even look at them and started another call: "Lawyer Ouyang, I have a job for you. I want to jail this group of gossips for as long as possible."
The journalists: "...!!!"
