Chapter 177 Protecting Rights

On the other end of the line, Wu Hai abruptly hung up the phone and couldn't help but smash his phone away.

good very good!

I asked Zhou Chengjing to help investigate Bai Li, not to let him seduce her!

The sea breeze was still blowing gently, but he felt no comfort at all.

The more he thought about that phone call, the more agitated he became.

He knew Zhou Chengjing's style all too well: once he became interested in something, he would stop at nothing to get it.

It's really kind of him to have told me beforehand.

This should be considered Zhou Chengjing's last act of conscience towards his "friend".

Wu Hai gave a cold laugh.

Since he was told this in advance, it means that Zhou Chengjing's interest in Bai Li is indeed extraordinary, and he is probably already secretly plotting something.

Zhou Chengjing's influence in the country is deeply entrenched and deeply rooted.

Wuhai understands the principle of "being near the water tower gives you an advantage."

Zhou Chengjing has a much greater advantage than I do.

Being so far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, it was truly impossible for me to help.

If he had known this would happen, how could he have asked Zhou Chengjing to help investigate Bai Li?

And what is Zhou Chengjing showing off?

He said he could only tell me that Bai Li was a member of the Bai family, making it seem like he knew a lot.

Are the two already quite familiar with each other?

They were just on the phone saying that it was introduced by Madam Jiang Yanglin.

Why introduce them?

One elder, and two unmarried younger relatives.

Could it be that it can also introduce business dealings?

Does this old lady have that much free time?

Besides introducing blind dates, what else can you introduce?

Upon realizing this possibility, Wu Hai finally couldn't help but swear: "Shit!"

On his grandfather's private island, Wu Hai was not disguised. His handsome face had lost its usual gentle and refined appearance, and was now tinged with a fierce and ruthless edge due to anger.

The butler, who was about to enter the room to help the young master with his hair and makeup, stopped immediately upon hearing the commotion inside and waited respectfully at the door with an unchanging expression.

However, the maids following behind him were not so calm. They were terrified and followed the butler in a state of fear and trepidation, not daring to move or breathe.

Although the butler showed no outward sign of distress, he was inwardly quite surprised, as he had not seen his young master so angry in a long time.

He remembered the last time the young master was this angry was when he was a child, and his beloved toy was taken away by a child his own age.

But as he grew older, especially after that incident, the young master became more and more introverted and rarely had such a big emotional fluctuation.

What's wrong with him today? What happened to make the young master so angry?

In his mind, there were probably very few people who would dare to provoke the young master nowadays.

inside the room.

Anubis seemed to sense the change in his master's emotions.

Its once cheerful wagging tail drooped down, and it lay quietly at Wu Hai's feet, gently rubbing its black head against his leg, trying to offer some comfort. Every now and then, it would look up at him with its eerie green eyes and let out a few low whimpers.

Wu Hai took a deep breath, slowly squatted down, and gently stroked Anubis's head with his slender fingers. The soft and warm touch calmed Wu Hai's heart a little.

He quickly calmed himself down.

In short, it's too late to regret it now.

Now that we've already let the wolf into the house, we need to find a way to drive it out.

Moreover, given his understanding of Bai Li's personality, it remains to be seen whether the sensitive Bai Li will be attracted to Zhou Chengjing.

She barely pays any attention to me, so why would she believe Zhou Chengjing?

—A person whose aura of danger is even stronger than his own.

Thinking about it carefully, Zhou Chengjing's phone call today was most likely a test.

If he really succeeds, he won't reveal a single word to me.

"Ha." Wu Hai chuckled softly. With that thought, Wu Hai instantly felt better again.

"Thank you, Anubis." Wu Hai hugged the leopard's head tightly and gave it a big kiss.

After realizing what had happened, Wu Hai thought he should contact Bai Li to see what was going on, but when he reached out, he had already thrown his phone away, and it was now lying on the ground, completely smashed.

Wuhai: ?_?

Just then, the butler heard the noise inside the room gradually subside, so he cautiously knocked on the door and respectfully asked, "Young master, may I come in?"

Wu Hai's voice had calmed down, and he replied calmly, "Come in, and get me another cell phone."

------------------------------------

On the other side, Bai Li had no idea that on the other side of the ocean, someone had become somewhat mentally unstable because of her.

Even if she knew, she would only reply with "Serves you right".

What does it have to do with her?

This man was already crazy.

Bai Li had already obtained the surveillance footage from the hot pot restaurant.

The surveillance footage clearly recorded every defamatory word Lin Yue uttered.

Actually, if Lin Yue had apologized on the spot, even if it was insincere or just made excuses, I really wouldn't have been able to hold her accountable.

But Lin Yue not only refused to apologize, but also made outrageous remarks before leaving, accusing Bai Li of colluding with the school's academic affairs office.

They'll find fault with her every time she's slandered.

The expensive legal team I hired finally had a chance to prove its worth.

The last time I used them was a long time ago when a director from Longtao Entertainment maliciously framed his own group broadcasting base.

The legal team was very efficient.

Soon, a lawyer's letter bearing a red seal was accurately delivered to Lin Yue's residence.

Lin Yue didn't understand what it was at first glance.

If she hadn't taken a second look, she would have thought it was some kind of advertising flyer.

After she peeled it off and carefully read what was written on it, she realized that something terrible was probably going to happen.

Is that woman going to pursue legal action against herself?

That's way too much!

I only said a few words to her, how can that be considered slander?

This was the first time Lin Yue had ever received a lawyer's letter in her life. In a panic, her mind went blank, and she instinctively opened her phone and typed into a search engine: "What should I do if I receive a lawyer's letter?"

After reading through the wide variety of answers on the internet, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It turns out that after receiving a lawyer's letter, if you believe you have done nothing wrong, you can choose to ignore it.

"Bai Li is just trying to scare me," Lin Yue murmured to herself.

I absolutely do not agree with what Bai Li wrote in the lawyer's letter.

The idea of ​​apologizing to Bai Li on a public platform is simply absurd. It's not only embarrassing, but he also didn't do anything wrong at all.

Lin Yue guessed that Bai Li's lawyer's letter was just a bluff, an attempt to scare her.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue's anger and resentment grew stronger. She had already given up on causing trouble for Bai Li, but she didn't expect Bai Li to come looking for trouble again.

His hatred for Bai Li had already reached its peak, and now it had reached its zenith.

She grabbed the lawyer's letter, tore it to shreds with both hands, and threw it into the trash can.

Out of sight, out of mind.

But Bai Li had already anticipated that a lawyer's letter alone would not be enough to make Lin Yue admit her mistake.

Immediately afterwards, a preliminary notification letter regarding the defamation lawsuit was delivered to Lin Yue's counselor, along with the complete video of Lin Yue maliciously defaming her.

The school takes this malicious rumor-mongering and behavior that damages the campus atmosphere very seriously and has launched an investigation.

When Lin Yue was summoned to a conference room at the school, she completely panicked.

She originally thought Bai Li was just bluffing, but she didn't expect the other party to actually pursue the matter to the end.

Across from her, the counselor said in a serious tone, "Lin Yue, you should know why I called you here today."

Lin Yue gritted her teeth, unable to utter a single word despite her usual domineering demeanor.

She only caught bits and pieces of the counselor's words, making out a few key phrases:

"...a serious violation of school rules..."

“...disciplinary action…”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue's face turned deathly pale. She had been trying to be stubborn and get away with it, but now she could no longer hold back and quickly pleaded, "Teacher, please, please don't give me a punishment."

She knew very well that once a disciplinary record was left on her file, it would be difficult to take the postgraduate entrance exam or the civil service exam in the future.

Looking at the scene before him, the counselor sighed helplessly: "Bai Li is willing to accept mediation, on the condition that you must issue a public apology to the entire school."

The answer is obvious: whether to ruin one's future in civil service or postgraduate entrance exams, or to issue a public apology. In comparison, the answer is indeed an apology.

Lin Yue had no choice but to write an apology letter and post it on the school bulletin board.

There were only a few people present at the dinner party, so not many people knew about it.

But after the apology statement was issued, more people found out about it.

Unexpectedly, what garnered more attention than the apology statement was an anonymous post on the forum, in which someone revealed more of the truth.

For example, it was revealed that Lin Yue misused poverty alleviation subsidies to buy limited-edition sneakers and cheated on multiple people during her relationship...

The former "e-sports goddess" turned into the laughing stock of the entire school.

After reading the post, Bai Li turned off her phone; the subsequent posts were not written by her.

She only wanted to protect her rights and did not intend to retaliate against Lin Yue.

Lin Yue's ultimate downfall was due to the exposure of her own misdeeds, not because of herself.

Bai Li didn't think her methods were too harsh.

Lin Yue's actions constitute clear defamation and serious injury. Pursuing her liability through legal means such as lawyer's letters and litigation notices is a legitimate and justifiable act of safeguarding my rights.

What if it were someone else facing this situation instead of myself?

On campus, the cost of spreading rumors is low and the speed of dissemination is extremely fast. Many victims choose to remain silent because they are afraid of trouble or are unable to protect their rights, which leads to the rumor-mongers becoming even more brazen.

If I choose to let this go, Lin Yue is very likely to continue to hurt more people recklessly.

Revealing the truth is actually a way to uphold fairness, making wrongdoers bear the consequences and preventing innocent people from being harmed again.

True compassion is not about condoning evil deeds, but about making wrongdoers face their mistakes and bear the consequences so that they can grow.

Hopefully, Lin Yue can truly learn something from this experience.

-----------------------------------

When Bai Li received the call from Wuhai, she was grooming Sanmao.

As the weather turned cold, Sanmao also became lazy.

I used to love playing in the yard, and I would often not see it at all inside the house for a whole day.

Now, even if the door is open and it's allowed to go out and play, it won't go. It prefers to stay at home, finding a place with underfloor heating and lying down there like a little rug.

Moreover, its fur has become thicker in winter, making the whole cat look like a burst chestnut, round and plump. Bai Li now has to brush its fur every day.

The phone rang, and Bai Li stopped combing her fur, put the comb down, and picked up the phone.

Seeing this, Sanmao opened her eyes, which had been squinting from enjoying herself, shook her fur, and jumped off Baili's body.

Bai Li only heard a "thud" when Sanmao landed. The heavy sound of it hitting the ground almost made her laugh. Where was the lightness and grace that a kitten should have?

Sanmao, jiggling his plump body, found the warmest spot with the underfloor heating, gracefully twisted his body, and with a "plop," lay down, half-closing his eyes as if to sleep.

Bai Li's brows twitched as she watched, unsure whether to cry or laugh.

On the one hand, as a mother, I am really worried about when Sanmao will lose weight. On the other hand, I am really charmed by this cute little thing. It's good that he's a bit chubby, he's so adorable!

What did the kitten do wrong? All the kitten needs to do is eat, sleep, and meow!

After a long while, Bai Li finally glanced at her still-ringing phone. It was an unfamiliar international call from country A.

Bai Li: ...

Making an international call to yourself at this hour, do you think you have too much money?

She could figure out who called even with her toes.

However, why not just send it to me on WeChat? And I haven't saved this number. Could it be that Wuhai changed his phone?

Bai Li has always disliked trouble. Although she didn't really want to answer Wu Hai's call, she knew that with Wu Hai's personality, if she didn't answer this time, he would definitely find other ways to make her answer the phone later.

With that in mind, Bai Li still pressed the call button.

Sure enough, the person on the other end of the phone was from Wuhai.

At this moment, Wu Hai was in a sensitive and irritable state of mind.

Today, one or two people were on the phone with themselves, and they took a long time to answer their own calls!

Wu Hai, who had originally planned to subtly probe for information, no longer cared about hiding anything and spoke directly: "Little Pear, if you encounter someone named Zhou Chengjing recently, remember to stay far away from him."

"Why?" A hint of surprise flashed through Bai Li's mind, but she wasn't too astonished.

She had long suspected that Wu Hai and Zhou Chengjing knew each other. She thought they were friends, but judging from Wu Hai's tone, could it be that they had a grudge and didn't get along?

Wu Hai's expression was solemn, and his voice was serious: "Because it's very dangerous."

Bai Li had never heard Wu Hai speak so seriously before, and she subconsciously hummed in agreement.

In fact, Bai Li herself had already realized that Zhou Chengjing was no ordinary person. Although she had not yet truly experienced his danger, her sixth sense had a vague premonition.

Everyone is inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm.

Even without Wu Hai's reminder, Bai Li would naturally stay away from such people.

But in terms of danger, Wuhai and Zhou Chengjing are about the same, right?

He's no good himself, so why is he criticizing others?

Hearing Bai Li's response, Wu Hai felt a little better; Little Pear was still willing to listen to him.

But he was still worried. He had sensed that Bai Li was wary of him and was planning to gradually dispel it, but now Zhou Chengjing had suddenly interfered, putting him in a very passive position.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Hai patted the leopard's head and instructed, "Anubis, Daddy is going hunting again. Be good."

Anubis seemed to understand its master's words, letting out a low growl, nuzzling Wu Hai's hand with its head, and then quietly lying down, watching its master leave.
