Chapter 318: Wen Li: "You should find a way to save your life"; Lu Xixiao calmly finishes
"I'll get your grades back immediately and return your bonus in full. No, I'll double it. I'll personally clear the air for you. Also, Song's grades."
Zhao Zhonglin looked at Song Zhixian, then quickly looked back at Wen Li.
"I know I'm unforgivable, but you're aware of the current online situation. It'll be difficult for netizens to trust you again. Once this gets exposed, we'll both suffer and no one will benefit. I can promise you that as long as you don't make a big deal out of it, all the benefits Zhao Yue gets from this competition will belong to you. You're a smart person, think it over carefully." Zhao Zhonglin stared at Wen Li closely.
The Song family frowned upon hearing this. Song Zhixian, unable to bear it any longer, angrily said, "You're still trying to threaten her even after all this."
Netizens across the country now know how vicious you and your son are.
[Host, please tag Zhao Laogou! ]
[I feel like the handsome guy is losing control, beat him up quickly]
[I respect this CP first]
[Beautiful sister, don’t listen to his nonsense]
[The handsome guy is so handsome when he protects the beautiful sister]
[Will Zhao Laogou, who is currently live streaming, be paralyzed with fear if he knows this?]
He's still threatening Wen Li, trying to get money to solve the problem.
[The live broadcast is a really great trick. Otherwise, even if there is evidence, it would be impossible to expose the truth smoothly and comprehensively and make people believe it.]
[Is the host invisible? Can't Zhao Gou and the others see him?]
【...】
Zhao Zhonglin quickly denied it to Wen Li: "No, no, no, I absolutely did not scare you, nor did I threaten you."
Zhao Zhonglin was secretly threatening and bribing Wen Li.
If the Song family had not been here, Zhao Zhonglin would not have been afraid of Wen Li at all. He had many ways to prevent Wen Li, who had evidence in his hand, from crying out for justice, and even if he did, no one would be able to hear him.
Unable to coerce or bribe, Zhao Zhonglin could only play the victim: "I only ask you to give my son and me a chance to survive. You've experienced it yourself, so you know how terrible public opinion is. I only have this one son. If he ruins our family, our whole family will be finished. We simply can't afford the consequences. I did all those things. They were all my ideas. I was so obsessed with wanting my son to be successful that I made mistakes in a moment of confusion. I beg you to understand the difficulties and painstaking efforts of being a father."
"Principal Peng, classmate Song." He then pleaded with the Song family, even trying to grab the principal's arm to better play the emotional card, but the principal put his hands behind his back, and Song Zhixian simply dodged. "Your family are all good people, and you are a mentor and helpful friend in the eyes of countless students. You have helped so many poor students and done so much for charity. I beg you to be kind and save my child this time. Give us a chance. The child is innocent. It's all my fault as a father. I will do my best to make amends. I will never dare to do it again. I kneel before you."
As Zhao Zhonglin said this, he knelt on the ground, sobbing with tears streaming down his face. He looked remorseful and determined to start a new life. He looked a little pitiful.
Zhao Yue, who was out of his wits, knelt on the ground after seeing this.
[He didn't admit his mistake at all, he was just afraid]
Don't let him go
[He knows better than anyone how terrifying public opinion is! ]
[I don’t know how many people have been harmed by the father and son]
How shameless is this person? How dare he say that?
The barrage of comments shouted in unison not to let the Zhao father and son go.
Wen Li put his phone back into his trouser pocket and looked down at Zhao Zhonglin on the ground. His hat brim was pulled down, covering the upper half of his face. His small face underneath the hat was expressionless. "Don't bother with money. I have plenty of it. Besides, you might be thinking too much. How could I just want to expose the truth? It's not fair to fight back."
"You're actually dreaming of saving your reputation." A hint of laughter escaped from her indifferent voice as she whispered, "You should find a way to save your life."
Wen Li stood casually with his hands in his pockets, remaining calm and composed from beginning to end. His tone was flat without any emotional fluctuations, and he never even took one hand out of his trouser pocket. His inherent rebelliousness and arrogance were revealed, and his relaxedness was so strong that it was astonishing.
These words made all the netizens in the live broadcast room look very happy.
When Zhao Zhonglin heard this, he begged for mercy even harder.
The principal said, "You'd better get up first. It's not up to us to decide whether to let you go or not. The law will make the final decision."
Zhao Zhonglin kept begging them to drop the case.
The principal said, "It's too late. The evidence has been handed over to the police, and the whole network knows about it."
Zhao Zhonglin was stunned: "What? Got it?"
"...Dad, they are broadcasting live..." Zhao Yue was holding the mobile phone and making a gesture as if he was answering the call. He didn't know who he was talking to. He was just staring at the mobile phone fixed on the table, as if he was scared and stupid.
As soon as Wen Li showed up, the cell phones in the pockets of the father and son started ringing, but they had no time to answer them until Zhao Yue was about to ask his mentor for help. He then took out his cell phone and answered another call.
It was my mother calling.
Informed him about the live broadcast.
He obviously answered the call too late.
Zhao Yue could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground. He desperately wanted to escape from here, but his hands and feet were completely out of control, his mind was blank, and he couldn't even turn his face away. He just stared at the phone in horror.
Zhao Zhonglin was also confused.
He forgot to even stand up and just knelt on the ground, staring at the boy on the sofa with a pale face: "...Who are you? You are not a student? What are you doing?"
Jiang Yingbai pointed at himself and said, "Me? A messenger of justice who exposes the darkness. Don't worry, although I am not a professional anchor, I didn't miss any of the key points. This live broadcast was unprecedented and spectacular. Congratulations on exceeding your long-cherished wish. Not only your son has become famous, but you have too. Do you want to say hello to everyone? The camera is here~" Jiang Yingbai kindly pointed the way.
[Wow, a real anchor!]
[This voice sounds like a handsome guy]
【Not only handsome, but also very funny】
[Must give the anchor a big rocket]
[Awesome host! Zhao Laogou finally got scared]
[Zhao Laogou must be scared to death]
【Beautiful sister looks at the camera】
[Sister, you are so calm that I am afraid]
[Was the anchor hired by Wen Li? ]
【...】
Regardless of whether he knew about the live broadcast or not, Wen Li never looked at the camera from beginning to end. It was not because he didn't want to show his face or didn't want to face it, but because he was disdainful, disdainful of the millions of netizens.
She never took the huge army of netizens seriously.
Countless netizens are outraged and are condemning Zhao Zhonglin and his son.
The host's voice rang out in the live broadcast room: "You idiots who won the gold medal for cyberbullying, learn your lesson and use your brains next time. I'll accept the big rocket. I'll show you the world again when I have the chance, and broaden your horizons and brains."
Ignoring netizens' pleas, Jiang Yingbai turned off the live broadcast.
The platform's CEO and a group of technical staff were trembling with fear.
"Call the founder of the Chinese Mathematical Society." Lu Xixiao said to Lu Qi, put away his phone, got out of the car and went into the building.
It’s over.
It's all over.
From heaven to hell in just one day.
Such a change was hard for Zhao Zhonglin to accept.
How could this happen? Zhao Zhonglin seemed to have given up struggling.
His face was ashen. He looked up at Wen Li and asked, "Zhao Yue, was this sudden outburst of anger manipulated by you?"
Wen Li said, "I don't have the patience to wait for you for those few days."
Not only was Zhao Yue's sudden popularity created by her, but Zhao Zhonglin also hired a group of internet trolls to discredit her. She thought Zhao Zhonglin was stingy, so she personally added hype to herself. She also contributed to making this incident such a big deal, and it makes the game more interesting this way.
Only in this way can we achieve the excellent effect of bottoming out and rebounding.
Zhao Zhonglin understood that the higher you praise someone, the harder they fall.
From the very beginning, it was he and his son who were being plotted against - everything he did eventually backfired on him and his son, and the public opinion he created by the internet trolls and the media eventually had an effect on him and his son.
Jiang Yingbai walked over and said, "Old man, do you know what my sister Li and I are like? The fact that we were able to do it ourselves is enough for you to brag about in prison for the rest of your life. It's time to rest in peace."
Steady and powerful footsteps were heard outside the door, reaching Wen Li's ears through the door and the wall. She couldn't help but tilt her head towards the door, thinking, has Cheng Hao been dealt with?
Zhao Zhonglin was filled with resentment: "Wen Li, Zhao Yue didn't lose to you, he lost to your scheming and networking skills."
He tried hard to maintain his last bit of face and dignity.
The footsteps stopped outside the door and the principal's office door was pushed open.
The man strode in and stood beside Wen Li.
He said to Zhao Zhonglin, who was slumped on the ground, "The facts prove that your son is truly stupid. I was by Wen Li's side the entire time during her preliminary exam and can prove that she didn't cheat. If verbal proof isn't enough, I have substantial evidence here. Do you want to see it?"
Lu Xixiao calmly made the finishing blow.
The day of Wen Li's preliminary exam was Lu Jingyuan's birthday. He took the exam at the hotel dinner table, and the hotel had surveillance footage as evidence.
Of course, Lu Xixiao would not really show it to Zhao Zhonglin.
Zhao Zhonglin didn't dare to look either.
The moment Zhao Zhonglin saw Lu Xixiao, he was stunned.
He opened his eyes wide, not daring to identify the person in front of him.
impossible.
How could Wen Li be friends with that person?
The entire Beijing University said that she had offended the Lu family.
Jiang Yingbai helped him confirm: "Do you recognize him?"
Jiang Yingbai, eager to watch the fun, pointed at Lu Xixiao and introduced him, "Chairman of the Lu Group, Lu Xixiao, the famous Fifth Master Lu. Ask him to prove his identity. If he dares to prove it, do you dare to see it?"
Zhao Zhonglin was instantly engulfed by fear.
He stared at the man.
There was endless despair and fear in his eyes.
Only then did he realize that Wen Li's words "You should find a way to save your life" were not alarmist. Nothing mattered in the face of life and death. Zhao Zhonglin no longer cared whether Wen Li relied on his own strength or cheated. Reputation, honor, and future were no longer important. Zhao Zhonglin didn't think about anything at this moment. He knelt and crawled forward, kowtowing at Lu Xixiao's feet, just to save his own life and his son's life. He was really scared now.
Or maybe it's just that power is useful. You don't have to do anything, just stand there and you can make Zhao Zhonglin kneel down and beg for mercy.
Although she also had this power and was not envious of it, she did not use it in this matter. Lu Xixiao's actions made it seem like she was doing manual labor, which made her unhappy.
"Did you come here just to show off?" she asked suddenly.
Lu Xixiao wanted to help but had no chance to do so, not even to show his face. He could only come up after the live broadcast to pick up some small jobs: "...???"
