391: Chapter 366: Reversal 391: Chapter 366: Reversal Facing Hong Decai’s insinuations against Liu Hun, the dia journalists were naturally eager to see such explosive news, but without Hong Decai producing sothing substantial, what could they expose?
“Cough cough…” Li Ming, standing next to Hong Decai, coughed twice to signal that it was ti for Hong to take the stage and stop pretending to cry.
Hong Decai took his hands off his face, revealing a mockingly sorrowful expression with not a single tear on it.
In front of the dia, he even took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe his face, while an officer beside him handed Hong a loan docunt they had found at Ou Ye’s place.
Hong imdiately showed it to the dia journalists and said, “My friends from the dia, please take a close look!
This is the loan docunt found in Ou Ye’s house, next to his body!
I believe once you see what’s written on it, you’ll understand why Ou Ye ultimately killed himself!”
“The borrower Ou Ye owes fifty million to the lender Liu Hun… Indeed, fifty million!”
“Before the borrower Ou Ye can repay the lender Liu Hun, he must write a song for Liu Hun every week, and he is not entitled to any copyrights!”
“Before the borrower Ou Ye can repay the lender Liu Hun, Liu Hun can dispose of all of Ou Ye’s belongings at will, and if it involves money, it will offset the debt!”
“…”
One by one, these additional clauses were read out by the dia, giving the impression that Liu Hun was indeed a modern-day ruthless exploiter!
“As you all can see!” Hong continued indignantly, shaking the loan docunt in his hand, “Look at these additional clauses, what normal person could endure such humiliation and tornt?
Now you should see soone’s true colors.
Although Ou Ye’s death wasn’t directly related to him, but… who, being forced to sign such a loan docunt, could lead a normal life?
Suicide was his only way out!”
“Mr.
Hong, do you know why Ou Ye accumulated such a massive debt?
Is there sothing hidden behind this?” a journalist asked, digging deeper into the backstory.
“Alas!
The dead can’t testify!
And the living person is a complete scoundrel.
How can you expect a scoundrel to tell the truth?” Hong continued to verbally attack Liu Hun.
Since they’d already burned bridges, there was nothing left to hold back.
“May I ask Mr.
Hong and Officer Li, could you provide us with the original copy of the loan docunt?
Since Mr.
Liu is at the police station, he should cooperate, right?” another journalist asked the two.
Li Ming was well aware that these journalists, sharper than monkeys at digging, aid to dig deeper to unearth the whole truth.
“Please, everyone, stay calm!” Li Ming pacified the reporters, turned his head to the officer next to him, and asked, “Is it ready?”
“It’s ready…
here it cos!” The officer had just finished speaking when Officer Chen brought over the original loan docunt given to him by Liu Hun.
“Officer, it’s been handled according to the photocopy by an expert, foolproof!” Officer Chen said as he handed a plastic bag to Li Ming.
“Well done!” Li Ming comnded Officer Chen, took the plastic bag, and showed it to the dia journalists, “Ladies and gentlen of the press, look at what I have in my hand!
This is the original loan docunt provided to the police by Mr.
Liu Hun!”
“Officer Li, are you confirming this is the original loan docunt?”
“I certainly am!”
The journalists at the scene were suddenly taken aback because the response didn’t co from Li Ming, but from Liu Hun, who had unexpectedly appeared at the entrance of the police station.
“The two of you are putting on quite a show behind Mr.
Liu’s back—it’s really impressive!” Liu Hun spoke to them in a subdued voice.
The faces of the two imdiately flashed with embarrassnt, unsure how Liu Hun knew they were holding a press conference there.
After their sche was revealed, both remained silent, not saying a word.
“Agent Liu!
May I ask if you provided the loan docunt to the police voluntarily?” a journalist asked Liu Hun.
“Of course!
As a law-abiding citizen, it is my duty to cooperate with the police investigation.
This loan docunt is indeed the original, and I voluntarily provided it to the police.
Now, Officer Li, please open it to clear everyone’s doubts,” Liu Hun said to Li Ming.
All the journalists then turned their caras toward Li Ming, while Hong Decai whispered coldly beside Liu Hun, “Liu Hun!
I’ve seen all kinds of deaths, but never soone seeking death so actively!”
Liu Hun retorted bluntly, “I’ve seen all kinds of **** too, but I’ve never seen soone so keen on eating **** like you.”
“You… you keep boasting, but you’ll see how tough I am soon.
Liu Hun, rest assured I will use all of Tianxing’s power to drag you through the mud with this matter,” Hong Decai fiercely told Liu Hun.
“We’ll see who ends up disgraced,” Liu Hun didn’t want to bother further with Hong Decai.
“My friends from the dia, revealing the truth to society is not only your profession but also our duty.
Please look,” Li Ming said as he took out the original loan docunt from the plastic bag and displayed it publicly to the dia.
What nobody noticed was that as Li Ming reached into the plastic bag, Liu Hun quietly slipped his left hand into his pocket.
“Click, click, click, click…” Almost all the caras flashed at the sa ti, fervently snapping pictures of the loan docunt, making Li Ming’s face glisten under the lights.
Amid the flashes, Li Ming suddenly felt like he was the people’s guardian angel, even starting to fantasize about appearing on the front page of the dia with his “majestic” face the next day.
“Wait… Officer Li!
Why does the original loan docunt state five thousand yuan?”
“Inspector Li!
The note only lists a debt amount of five thousand yuan, and it lacks any of the harsh conditions found in the previous photocopies.
How do you explain that?”
“Inspector Li, you previously firmly claid that this was the original, and that Liu Hun also agreed it was the original.
Does that an the photocopies were forged?”
“…”
The situation of hundreds of journalists asking questions simultaneously truly overwheld Li Ming, and the jumbled inquiries frightened him even more.
He imdiately flipped over the note to look for himself…
A chill ran through him!
Printed in black and white was a debt amount of exactly five thousand yuan, with no additional clauses.
“How do you explain this, Inspector Li…”
“How do you explain this, Inspector Li…”
“How do you explain this, Inspector Li…”
The journalists kept repeating the sa question; Li Ming’s blood surged, and he grabbed the nearby Xiao Chen and scolded him, “Didn’t you say the original was prepared?”
Xiao Chen shivered with fright, not expecting the inspector to blurt out the truth.
He quickly gestured to Li Ming and whispered, “Inspector, you…
you’ve said too much…”
Li Ming trembled all over, realizing that he had spoken words that should not have been spoken, and could already feel the profound malice from the reporters behind him.
“Inspector Li!
Does that statent of yours imply that you instructed your subordinate to forge docunts?”
“Inspector Li, you previously kept insisting to CEO Hong that Ou Ye was driven to death by a huge debt and even showed photocopies, but the original shows nothing of the sort.
Coupled with what you just said, can we conclude there is so collusion between you, CEO Hong, or Tianxing Group?”
“Inspector Li, do you think forgery fits the status of an inspector?
Can it justify the trust of the people?
In this event, why did you purposely exaggerate the debt amount, is it to target soone?”
“…”
Li Ming did not even turn his face to answer the journalists; after letting go of Xiao Chen, he directly took refuge in the police station.
The journalists surged forward but were barred by the officers.
Unable to reach Li Ming, the journalists turned their attention to Hong Decai.
“CEO Hong, did you participate in this forgery incident?
Was it a personal act or does it involve Tianxing Group?”
“CEO Hong, the photocopies were obviously tampered with, to defa Liu Hun.
How big of a price did Tianxing Group pay to get an inspector to do such a thing?”
“CEO Hong, you previously claid staunchly it was a huge debt note.
Is it because you had already colluded with Inspector Li?”
“…”
Seeing Hong Decai remain silent, the journalists’ questions beca sharper.
Hong Decai had no choice but to escape into his car, covered in sha, with even a shoe dropping to the ground in his hasty retreat.
Watching Hong Decai drive away, the journalists again pounced towards Liu Hun, who by then had opened his car door.
“Manager Liu, what are your thoughts on the forgery issue?”
Liu Hun simply replied, “I believe the judiciary will deliver justice; please help by monitoring this, dia friends!” Having said this, Liu Hun opened the car door and was about to get inside when another journalist asked, “Manager Liu, do you have anything to say about Tianxing Group?”
“Just use what I previously said about Hong Decai.” After saying this, Liu Hun got into the car and left the police station.
The next day, many dia’s front-page headlines quoted Liu Hun’s remark—”Shalessly clowning around!”
However, Liu Hun was slightly surprised that the dia targeted Hong Decai extensively in their reports while greatly downplaying Li Ming, suggesting that influential figures wanted to save face for Li Ming and the police departnt.
The Tianxing Group’s sar campaign and plots against Liu Hun were repeatedly exposed, and the overt and covert battles between both parties were formally laid out.
As a result, Liu Hun had to accelerate strengthening his power; adopting a dual-track approach, he relied on Yinyue Company to actively contact advertisers for Shi Bi’er.
The other aspect was, of course, to continue promoting Shi Qing’er, ensuring her popularity did not wane.
That day, Liu Hun was at ho writing a song for Shi Qing’er.
He planned to give Shi Qing’er a complete album of her own, which also signified her official debut.
“Ding ding ding…
ding ding ding…”
Liu Hun was composing when the telephone beside him rang, “Hello, may I ask who’s speaking?”
“Manager Liu, this is Lin Xiaoxiang.
When can the advance paynt for Shi Qing’er’s album arrangents be transferred?” Lin Xiaoxiang asked from the other end of the phone, now serving as a liaison between Yinyue Company and Liu Hun.
“Advance paynt?!
Didn’t Shi Bi’er’s mother tell it was already transferred?” Liu Hun replied, puzzled, clearly rembering he had phoned Shi Bi’er’s mother, Fang Tingi, just yesterday, and she had told him the advance paynt had already been sent.
Since Liu Hun was busy handling the affairs of the two sisters, he had delegated the financial matters to their mother, Fang Tingi.
