Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Act Upright, Sit with Dignity

"Expose me?" Qiao Rui raised an eyebrow slightly, "An unknown side, then let her go ahead."

Gai Yin was taken aback, looking at Qiao Rui, "President Qiao, I’m afraid that’s not possible. Her interview at the entrance of the Qiao Building must have been premeditated. We don’t know what the media will report. How about I go down and take a look?"

Qiao Rui thought for a moment but still said, "If you go down, that’s really falling into Lin Hailan’s trap."

Gai Yin was startled, then understood Qiao Rui’s intention. "President Qiao, you mean that Lin Hailan chose to be interviewed downstairs at the Qiao Building to deliberately provoke you into coming out?"

Qiao Rui nodded slightly.

Pei Jibai was also momentarily stunned and spoke out with concern, "Sister-in-law, this Qiao Aunt seems like a different person lately. Before, she seemed very cultured and wouldn’t speak so rudely. But after today’s encounter, she sounds like a shrew, saying things that are incomprehensible."

Qiao Rui smiled without saying anything.

Gai Yin also nodded. "Yes, President, the things Lin Hailan said were simply unbearable, pure lies to stir trouble."

It was precisely because of hearing Lin Hailan’s unrealistic words earlier that there were so many concerns.

"It’s probably not a recent change, but rather that’s her true nature. We just didn’t notice before." Qiao Rui finally spoke, "Let her talk, I’d also like to see how the media reports it."

Gai Yin opened his mouth, wanting to say something else but was stopped by Qiao Rui.

"Don’t worry."

"Assistant Gu." Pei Jibai spoke as well, "I believe Sister-in-law has her own arrangement, and now that the Lin Family has collapsed all at once, the industry is all talking about Sister-in-law. Her capabilities are also being praised. Whatever the media wants to report, they will weigh the options and won’t follow Lin Hailan’s lead blindly."

Pei Jibai’s analysis made Gai Yin look at him with newfound respect.

She looked at Pei Jibai in surprise, "Mr. Pei, impressive; it’s no wonder you’re from the Pei Family, you see things so clearly."

Pei Jibai felt somewhat embarrassed. "It’s not that I see things clearly, it’s just that the facts are right in front of us. Media are the best at gauging the situation."

"Mm." Gai Yin nodded. "Seems I’ve overthought it."

Qiao Rui said, "Inform the front desk that Lin Hailan is not to enter the building. If she does, call the police."

"Yes." Gai Yin immediately went to make the call.

Pei Jibai also stood up, "Sister-in-law, I’ll stop bothering you with your work."

"Alright," Qiao Rui said, "I won’t see you out, you can see yourself out."

"Sure." Pei Jibai nodded agreeably, got up, and left.

Qiao Rui returned to her desk, turned on her computer, and continued with her work.

After Pei Jibai left the building, he greeted Gai Yin. "Assistant Gu, I’m off now."

"Mr. Pei, if you go downstairs now, you might run into Lin Hailan." Gai Yin was worried Lin Hailan might seize the opportunity to talk nonsense.

Pei Jibai was startled as well, secretly alarmed. Thinking of the things Lin Hailan said earlier, made him a bit uneasy. If she said something to the media, it could be detrimental to Sister-in-law.

He solemnly promised, "Don’t worry, I’ll leave through the parking lot. She won’t find me."

However, Pei Jibai did not expect that as soon as he reached the B1 level, he would encounter reporters and Lin Hailan.

As the elevator doors opened, he saw Lin Hailan’s face filled with delight, pointing at him to the reporters, "See, I wasn’t wrong, this is Qiao Rui’s lover."

Pei Jibai stood there rigidly, damn old woman, spouting such nonsense.

Pei Jibai narrowed his eyes slightly and gave a faint smile. He walked out, looked at Lin Hailan’s repulsive face, took out his phone, and in front of the reporters and Lin Hailan, dialed a number. "Police? I’d like to report, someone is slandering and causing trouble. Please send someone over, I’m in the parking lot under Qiao Building!"

After hanging up, Pei Jibai walked out of the elevator with a stern face.

Lin Hailan’s expression changed, she snorted coldly, wanting to slip away immediately but was unwilling to leave.

The reporters were all taken aback, not expecting that he would directly call the police without saying much.

Pei Jibai did not walk further inside; if he took one more step, there would be no phone signal.

He stood by the elevator door, looking calmly at the reporters and Lin Hailan.

One reporter seemed to have recognized Pei Jibai’s identity and exclaimed, "You’re the second son of the Pei Family?"

"I’m Pei Jibai," Pei Jibai said lightly, "Dear reporters, is the news you’re camping here for really valuable? Reporting false news could violate your professional ethics and cause a loss of professional integrity."

His words were naturally a double entendre, giving them a reminder.

Reporters who’ve been around long enough instantly understood Pei Second Young Master’s hint.

What kind of person Lin Hailan was, the downfall of the Lin Family was already evident.

"Pei Second Young Master is right, this news we’re watching really isn’t valuable." Several reporters immediately smiled along.

"No, it can’t be said like that." Pei Jibai gave a meaningful smile, looking at Lin Hailan. "Reporting truthfully is also valuable, letting everyone see what Lin Family folks are like."

"What’s wrong with Lin Family people, you’re discriminating against our Lin Family," Lin Hailan shouted immediately.

"No, I’m not discriminating against the Lin Family, I just purely discriminate against you," Pei Jibai said calmly. "You should take legal responsibility for slander and defamation.

The police will be here soon, and we can discuss it at the police station. No worries, I have plenty of patience.

Why not let these reporters come along for a live report? I, Pei Jibai, have a clear conscience and am not afraid of entering the police station. But, I’m not sure if you have the determination."

"I also have a clear conscience," Lin Hailan retorted stubbornly.

"Really?" Pei Jibai smiled, "Then let’s head to the police station together."

"I don’t have time for that, I have other things to do," Lin Hailan, upon hearing that the police were really coming, immediately prepared to take off.

If she didn’t leave, once caught by the police, it wouldn’t be easy to get out of the police station.

She knew very well that she had no evidence for what she said about Pei Jibai and Qiao Rui.

She just heard from Qiao Xiang that Pei Jibai liked to help Qiao Rui, so she deliberately said so to disgust them but never expected Pei Jibai to report it to the police so directly.

Just as she was about to leave, Pei Jibai told the reporters, "Dear reporters, thank you for your hard work, how about helping me stop Ms. Lin, after all, you can report honestly at the police station and make a worthwhile trip."

The reporters, who were initially called by Lin Hailan, immediately switched sides after Pei Jibai’s persuasion.

"Ms. Lin, you can’t leave, you invited us to capture explosive news, and we haven’t got anything yet. When the police arrive, it’s going to be very interesting."

They blocked Lin Hailan’s way.

Lin Hailan panicked, "All of you get out of my way."

"Ms. Lin, our cameras are rolling!" The reporters pointed their lenses at Lin Hailan.

She panicked, her eyes revealing a sudden fear.

Pei Jibai watched Lin Hailan’s flustered look, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Your baseless slander will have consequences!"

As he spoke, the police arrived.
