Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 356: Chapter 355 Exposed

The crowd grew even more rowdy on the scene, and Zhao Kaiwen found himself incapable of uttering a word, which made it even harder for people to believe him.

”I... I didn’t slander you...” Zhao Kaiwen insisted frantically, ”Our promise was made... made when we were filming a TV drama together...”

”Exact time, location!” Ying’er demanded coldly. ”Zhao Kaiwen, didn’t you say you truly loved me? Have you even forgotten the time and place?”

Zhao Kaiwen was sweating profusely and said with a trembling voice, ”That... that was last September, at... at Beidian Film and Television City, that’s where... where we made our promise...”

”Exact time, location!” Ying’er pressed sternly.

”I... I...” Zhao Kaiwen was almost bewildered. Why was Ying’er’s questioning so aggressive?

”Can you answer the question or not!” An audience member couldn’t help but shout.

”Damn it, are you lying?”

”Slander our Ying’er, beat this bastard to death!”

”If you can’t say it, I’ll kill you myself!”

The crowd below was roaring incessantly, their suspicions toward Zhao Kaiwen growing.

Grinding his teeth, Zhao Kaiwen retorted angrily, ”September 13th, at the central hotel of Beidian Film and Television City, in your room. I came over at... at eleven o’clock at night... That night, you didn’t let me leave. I stayed in your room the whole night, and we...”

”That’s enough!” Ying’er interrupted Zhao Kaiwen mid-sentence. ”You don’t need to keep spouting nonsense and deceiving people. Now, it’s time to unveil the truth.”

”What... what are you unveiling?” Zhao Kaiwen asked, dumbfounded.

”First, about last month on the 7th...” Ying’er continued icily, ”Last month on the 7th, I indeed stayed at Huayue Hotel. But at nine in the evening, I hadn’t returned to the hotel. My press conference that night didn’t end until half past ten. I got back to the hotel at eleven. You said nine o’clock, how could that be possible?”

The scene erupted into uproar once again, with people shouting and itching to deal with Zhao Kaiwen for the clear deception.

Zhao Kaiwen was stupefied. In fact, the information provided by Huo Dongjun was very clear. Ying’er’s press conference started at nine and ended at ten-thirty. But he had remembered wrong, and thus created this whole mess.

”I... when I said nine o’clock, I meant that I had arrived at the hotel at nine to wait for you...” Zhao Kaiwen hurriedly explained.

”Haha...” Ying’er let out a cold laugh. ”I just finished talking about my schedule; now let’s talk about your schedule.”

Zhao Kaiwen’s face fell. Ying’er actually knew about his schedule? No wonder she was asking him all these questions!

Ying’er said, ”According to the investigation from my side, last month on the 7th, you stayed at the Qixing Express Hotel. At six in the afternoon, four of your friends came to see you, and you all went to a food stall to eat. You ate until two in the morning. You drank three cases of beer, and the meal cost six hundred twenty-seven yuan. The owner rounded it down to six hundred. After that, you didn’t go back to the hotel but went to a nightclub instead, and it wasn’t until after four in the morning that you returned. Is that schedule correct?”

Zhao Kaiwen was agape; Ying’er’s account of the situation matched his schedule to the letter. The most crucial point was that even the cost of the meal was accurate. How meticulously had Ying’er investigated?

After a moment of silence, Zhao Kaiwen said through clenched teeth, ”You’re talking nonsense. That night, I was with you the entire time. I didn’t do any of those things!”

”Zhao Kaiwen, your friends, the restaurant owner, people from the nightclub, they can all testify!” Ying’er whispered softly, ”Are you still going to stubbornly deny it?”

”Bullshit!” Zhao Kaiwen exclaimed angrily, ”Your family is loaded with money. You could have bought off these people, and of course, they can testify for you. I have no money, so you can do whatever you want to me. You just want to use your wealth to bully people!”

These words caused many people to frown, yes, Ying’er’s family was rich, and she could bribe these witnesses.

”Heh...” Ying’er chuckled coldly again, ”You say these people have been bought off by me, but let me ask you, what about the surveillance cameras outside the food stalls and nightclubs? Have I bought those too? Those cameras have recorded your every move. Can surveillance cameras lie too?”

At these words, Zhao Kaiwen nearly collapsed to the ground. That’s right, there were surveillance cameras at the food stalls and nightclubs. He couldn’t escape those.

”Why aren’t you speaking now?” Ying’er said coldly, ”When I mention surveillance cameras, you fall silent? You stop struggling?”

”Speak up!” The crowd grew angry and started shouting loudly.

”Son of a bitch, so you really are slandering Ying’er!”

”This guy, how dare he still face the world?”

”Beat him! Beat him to death!”

”Call the police, arrest him, goddamn bastard, let him rot in jail for life!”

”Jail is too good for him. Cut out his tongue, grandson, how dare you slander someone like that. Ying’er is such an innocent person, and you defame her like this, it’s despicable!”

The crowd’s chants were endless, and they were so excited that it made Zhao Kaiwen tremble.

Thinking of the money Huo Dongjun gave him, Zhao Kaiwen was not willing to give up and shouted, ”I don’t remember last month’s events very clearly. That matter... I won’t discuss it with you, but what happened between us before... it wasn’t fake...”

”Heh, so that’s why I’m asking about the past,” Ying’er said coldly, ”You said we were together on September 13th last year. Indeed, on September 13th last year, I was at Beidian Film and Television City, but I didn’t stay at the hotel that night because Sister Hu Lan came to Beidian and invited us out for dinner. That evening, we stayed at the Hilton in the city, and staying together with me were Sister Lingyu, Teacher Qee Yue, Sister Zhao Jingchu.”

At this point, Ying’er paused and looked at Zhao Kaiwen, ”And Huo Qianfang was there too. We all spent that night together. You say I bought people off, do you think any of the people I just mentioned could be bought by me?”

The scene erupted in an uproar. The people Ying’er had just named were all renowned top actresses in the country. Especially Huo Qianfang—Ying’er’s arch-rival—being present meant that these individuals surely couldn’t have been bribed. The matter was becoming very clear!

Zhao Kaiwen was stunned; he had fabricated a story out of thin air—how could he possibly know Ying’er’s whereabouts during that time?

”Now that I’ve talked about my whereabouts, it’s time to talk about yours,” Ying’er said coldly, ”On the evening of September 13th, you seduced an actress and stayed with her in a small hotel near Beidian Film and Television City. You both entered at 7:13 p.m. and didn’t come out until 9:50 the next morning, which caused you to miss your filming the next day, and the actress was fired by the director on the spot.”

”As for the name of the actress, I won’t mention it; I can’t ruin her family. However, the hotel’s surveillance footage of you going in and out is still there. These things can’t be faked!”

With these words, the whole venue was in an uproar, and the commotion intensified.

Ying’er said she couldn’t ruin the actress’s family, which meant that the actress was married. This Zhao Kaiwen had seduced a married woman; he was the real scumbag!
