Chapter 436: Chapter 436

Chenyang’s words not only made Lin Xiaoyue’s face flush and left her speechless, but they also severely shook her original convictions.

She had always been hostile toward Chenyang because Lin Jiji claimed that Chenyang had taken advantage of her, as well as other women, at the scene of the car accident.

As a result, she had the preconceived notion that Chenyang was not a good person, and this belief made her view everything he did as wrong.

But if everything Lin Jiji had said before was fabricated, then that changed everything.

For example, if Chenyang hadn’t taken advantage of her or accepted benefits from anyone, and if all the online posts were just rumors deliberately spread by Lin Jiji... that would mean she had been used by him from the very beginning.

And Chenyang would be an innocent man who had been a victim of Lin Jiji’s persecution from the start!

That would be the only reason her fair-minded uncle, who always had a clear sense of right and wrong, would go to such lengths to protect Chenyang and oppose Lin Jiji.

At this thought, Lin Xiaoyue turned to look at Lin Jiji, her eyes filled with deep suspicion.

Seeing her expression, Lin Jiji’s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly tried to defend himself. "Xiaoyue, don’t listen to his nonsense! This man is a master of sophistry. He used these same tricks to confuse your uncle, and if you believe him now, you’ll fall right into his trap."

"But I don’t think he’s talking nonsense."

"What do you mean, he isn’t? The witnesses and evidence for all the disgusting things he did are right there. Even if I were to lie to you, surely the victims and the eyewitnesses wouldn’t, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the witnesses standing nearby, then at the photos and videos on the screen. For a moment, her resolve wavered again.

Lin Jiji pressed on. "Chenyang is not a good person. Your uncle has already been deceived by him. You can’t let him trick you, too, or you’ll really be letting a bastard like him get away scot-free! So, the most urgent thing right now is for you to get your uncle and the other leaders to bring Chenyang to justice as quickly as possible."

"Tsk, tsk. Can’t win the argument, so you’re just going to try and force an end to all this?" Chenyang sneered before looking at Lin Xiaoyue. "Just a friendly reminder: all his so-called witnesses and evidence? They’re fakes."

"Fakes?"

"They are not fakes!" Lin Jiji grew frantic, glaring at Chenyang in exasperation. "Can you just shut your mouth!"

Chenyang shrugged and smiled. "You’re right, I should shut my mouth. Because now, I’m going to hand the floor over to some people who are far more persuasive."

At these words, Lin Jiji, Lin Xiaoyue, and the others all looked bewildered, clearly having no idea who these ’more persuasive’ people Chenyang was talking about could be.

Just as they were about to ask, a sudden commotion erupted from within the crowd.

"Make way."

"Hurry, get the cameras set up."

Everyone turned toward the voices to see several reporters and cameramen pushing their way through the crowd into the open space.

As a few of the cameramen began adjusting their equipment and aiming their lenses toward Lin Jiji, the rest of the reporters had already swarmed around him.

"Lin Jiji, what’s your comment on the multiple exposés about you that appeared online half an hour ago?"

"After Young Master Yu exposed you for demanding sexual favors from other artists and harming underage fans, multiple victims have contacted us. Some have already filed lawsuits against you. We’d like to ask, when you did these things, did you ever consider the feelings of your fans or your victims?"

"Lin Jiji, the businessman you were in a sexual relationship with, just had news of his bankruptcy break a few minutes ago. During an impromptu interview, he stated that he paid you several million. Is that true? Furthermore, that businessman is a man, and so are you. When you agreed to his advances, did you do so gladly, or did you go through some inner turmoil before being forced to accept for the sake of your career?"

"Can you tell us why, just to save a little face, you would go so far as to mobilize your fans to maliciously slander and spread rumors about Doctor Chen from the City Hospital?"

"Lin Jiji, please answer our questions! And did your management company know you were doing these things?"

"The authorities were on their way here as we arrived. Are you prepared to face a legal inquiry?"
