Chapter 30: Chapter 30: I, Ye Feng, Will Clear Your Name

Just then, a model walked onto the catwalk, wearing the outfit designed by Wang Luyao’s company!

The moment the model appeared, the venue erupted in an uproar, followed by a flurry of discussion.

"This piece is barely any different from Green Leaf Group’s design."

"What do you mean ’barely any different’? It’s practically identical!"

"Angel Clothing simply plagiarized the idea from Green Leaf Clothing Group!"

"To actually plagiarize someone else’s work, how shameless."

"What kind of high-quality clothing can a clothing group with no integrity produce? I will never work with Angel Clothing again!"

"A scummy clothing group like this should be blacklisted by the entire industry."

...

Hearing the crowd’s murmurs, Chen Yan quickly stood up and shouted angrily:

"No, this design is our Angel Clothing’s plan! We spent a full two hours finishing it yesterday! We didn’t plagiarize anything, they’re the ones who plagiarized us!"

Li Chao, however, looked at Chen Yan and chuckled. "Such a masterful piece, and you designed it in just two hours? Are you all geniuses? Do you really think anyone will believe that?"

With that, Li Chao rose to his feet and addressed the entire audience with great emotion, "Everyone, to create this design, all the designers at our Green Leaf Company, including the senior management, worked day and night. We practically lived at the office, spending a full week to produce this stunning piece that has captivated you all.

You could say this piece is soaked in the sweat of every Green Leaf employee. But now, to hear it called plagiarism... my heart is bleeding!"

By the end, his voice had even grown hoarse.

The people in the audience were instantly moved by Li Chao’s performance and began to shout:

"I agree, this design belongs to Green Leaf Company."

"President Li is right! How could a design like this be produced in two hours? They clearly plagiarized it!"

"That’s right! We support Green Leaf Company to win! Angel Group, get out!"

"Get out!"

...

Li Chao turned to the pale-faced Wang Luyao and sighed. "President Wang, I didn’t want to take things this far, but for you to plagiarize our company’s idea... this is truly shameless."

"You’re clearly the ones who plagiarized our idea..." Chen Yan yelled furiously, but Wang Luyao looked up and stopped her, her voice weary.

"President Chen, forget it. Let’s go."

Green Leaf Group had presented their product first, so everyone’s first impression was set. Coupled with Li Chao’s impassioned speech just now, the scales of victory had clearly tipped in their favor.

No matter how much she and Chen Yan argued, they couldn’t possibly turn the situation around.

Wang Luyao knew she had lost, lost without a shred of doubt. She knew her last escape route had been blocked. There was truly no hope for Angel Clothing Company to be revived!

Thinking of the Angel Clothing she had worked so hard to build, which was about to collapse today, Wang Luyao’s heart filled with despair. She staggered toward the exit.

Behind her, Li Chao watched her retreating back and said smugly, "President Wang, it seems you’ve lost our bet. I hope you’ll honor it and become my girlfriend, haha..."

As he spoke, Li Chao burst into unrestrained laughter.

Wang Luyao trembled with anger, but there was nothing she could do.

In that moment, she felt so lonely, so helpless. She felt as if she was the only one left in the world, swaying precariously in the wind.

She desperately wished someone would stand up for her, even just to say a single word in her defense. She would have been content with just that. But there was no one. All she heard were voices filled with ridicule.

But just as she was despairing, a calm voice rang out from the entrance, "To plagiarize someone else’s work and still have the gall to spout such nonsense here... for a person to be as shameless as you, it’s truly been an eye-opener for me!"

As the voice faded, a man walked briskly into the venue with his hands behind his back.

The newcomer was none other than Ye Feng.

Seeing Ye Feng and hearing his powerful, resonant words, Wang Luyao’s eyes instantly lit up. The next moment, she felt a warm current rush through her heart.

In that instant, she no longer saw Ye Feng as a scoundrel, but as a deeply caring loved one, a warm sun capable of bringing her comfort.

"Ye Feng!" Wang Luyao said, her voice hoarse.

Ye Feng walked up to Wang Luyao and looked at her, speaking gently. "President Wang, rest assured. I am here today to clear your name. I will make sure those plagiarists are exposed before everyone."

Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Li Chao’s secretary shot to his feet, glared at him, and roared, "Who are you insinuating that about?"

Li Chao, however, waved his hand to stop his secretary. He then looked at Ye Feng with a slight smile. "Young man, you need evidence to back up your words. Otherwise, be careful, or I’ll sue you for slander!"

Beside them, Wang Luyao also came to her senses. She looked at Ye Feng and shook her head, her voice raspy. "It’s useless. How could they possibly leave behind any evidence of their plagiarism? Ye Feng, let’s not fight this. We’re leaving. But for you to come out and speak up for me today, I’m already endlessly grateful!"

After speaking, the rims of her eyes had turned bright red. An endless sense of grievance welled up in her heart. If she hadn’t been forcefully suppressing her emotions, tears would have definitely started streaming down.

But Ye Feng simply looked at Wang Luyao, smiled slightly, and said, "Don’t worry. Since I said Green Leaf Group plagiarized, I have more than enough evidence to prove it!"

With that, he took out his phone and sent a text message.

Seeing how confident Ye Feng was, Li Chao started to feel uneasy. He leaned toward his secretary and asked in a very low voice, "We didn’t leave any loose ends, did we?"

The secretary replied confidently, "Don’t worry, President Li. Mole is an expert in this field. He never leaves a trace."

Hearing this, Li Chao breathed a small sigh of relief. He then stood up, looked at Ye Feng, and sneered.

"Listen to me. If you can produce evidence today, then fine. But if you can’t, I will sue you for slander and throw you in jail. Just you watch!"

Wang Luyao looked at Ye Feng and shook her head. "Ye Feng, let’s go. I’m already content that you came out to speak for me. I can’t let you get dragged into this because of me!"

Seeing Wang Luyao’s helpless expression, Ye Feng’s heart suddenly ached. The next moment, he spoke with powerful conviction:

"I’m not afraid of being dragged into this. No matter the cost, I will clear your name today."

Wang Luyao looked at Ye Feng, her eyes suddenly shining brightly. In that moment, she felt that his figure was so tall and admirable.

Nearby, Li Chao saw the ardent gaze Wang Luyao directed at Ye Feng, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He said to Ye Feng in a cold voice:

"I’ll give you ten minutes. If you still can’t produce any evidence, I’m calling the police."

His voice had barely faded when a set of chaotic footsteps echoed from the hallway.

Ye Feng chuckled. "No need to wait ten minutes. The evidence has just arrived!"

Just then, the door was pushed open, and two large men walked in, dragging a man dressed in black.

Seeing the man in black, Li Chao’s pupils constricted abruptly.
