Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Evidence
Chapter 19 -19 Evidence ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Lin Zhiyi’s calmness surprised everyone.
The most marginalized person in the Gong Family was no longer timid or spoke with her head down.
She just stood on stage, fighting for herself.
Her gaze was clear and resolute, sweeping over Gong Chen’s indifferent and dangerous expression, without any hint of retreating.
As the situation reversed, all cameras turned to Journalist Chen and Song Wanqiu.
Journalist Chen, feeling uneasy, subconsciously looked at Song Wanqiu.
Song Wanqiu frowned slightly and passed him a look.
Journalist Chen defended loudly, “Miss Lin, you can’t defame Miss Song and me just because I’ve asked you a few questions, can you?”
Song Wanqiu’s eyes reddened as she said, “Zhiyi, I know you were angry that the school fought for a competition slot for me, and I just wanted an apology. I had already agreed to settle with the police. If you insist on this, then I will withdraw. I just ask you to stop making a scene; it’s making it difficult for the Gong Family and Third Young Master.”
Retreating in order to advance was Song Wanqiu’s most common tactic.
Paired with her gentle and pretty face, it always triggered others’ protective instincts.
The people around looked at Song Wanqiu with approval.
Song Wanqiu leaned slightly towards Gong Chen, her voice filled with grievance: “Third Young Master, don’t mind it; I think Zhiyi just wants to win over me too much.”
Hearing this, Gong Chen looked emotionlessly at Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi was long accustomed to his coldness and simply looked back at him unaffected.
She took two steps forward on the stage and asked, “So do you mean that Journalist Chen and Miss Song don’t know each other at all and have never met?”
Journalist Chen confirmed confidently, “Of course, if I had seen a woman as beautiful and elegant as Miss Song, I definitely would not have forgotten her.”
Song Wanqiu pretended to ponder for a moment before responding carefully and cautiously, “We haven’t met; we don’t know each other at all.”
No sooner had her words fallen than Liu He, who was always afraid of death, burst out for the sake of Lin Zhiyi.
“Nonsense! You two have been colluding behind the scenes. All those online reports about my daughter framing Song Wanqiu are your schemes.”
Song Wanqiu looked startled for an instant, then choked up, “Second Madam, even if you want to save your daughter, you can’t just make baseless accusations. How will you face everyone in the Gong Family like this?”
Liu He glared at Song Wanqiu, realizing that she was calling her a green tea bitch and publicly mocking her lack of status in the Gong Family.
Without wasting words, she directly pulled out a USB drive from her bag.
“Song Wanqiu, you say you don’t know this journalist? Then how come you both spent an hour in the VIP room of a luxury store? Whenever this journalist comes out, within a day there’s a ton of negative news about you online. Oh right, those accounts slandering you—I’ve reported all of them, and the people have confessed; they did it because they were paid by this journalist. Isn’t that strange?”
“What… what?”
Song Wanqiu’s face turned pale, visibly whitening.
She reached out to grab the USB drive from Liu He’s hand but was beaten to it by Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t give anyone time to think and immediately played the surveillance footage on the screen.
The video clearly showed the two entering the luxury store’s VIP area one after another, chatting happily, and parting with a smile as if they had achieved some purpose.
Lin Zhiyi looked at Journalist Chen sarcastically and said, “Journalist Chen, this is where you’re wrong. Are you saying you don’t recognize Miss Song because she’s not beautiful or elegant enough?”
Journalist Chen went stiff, his usually eloquent tongue faltered, opening and closing his mouth, unable to find a single reason to retaliate.
Because the footage was too clear, and Lin Zhiyi had not played the audio, it was clear she was holding back.
If he continued to argue, once the audio was released, he would undoubtedly be blacklisted in the industry.
Song Wanqiu understood the same truth.
The audio was like a dangling sword above her head, preventing her from acting rashly.
