The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 571 - 571 542 Confrontation

571: Chapter 542: Confrontation 571: Chapter 542: Confrontation In the end, the “Super Girl” Beijing District competition for the top twenty to ten slots at Xingle Imperial City came to a thrilling conclusion, opening with a bang and ending with an even louder one!

It gave everyone their fill of excitement!

Not only had a seemingly perfect Mi Zi been added to their watchlist, but what truly electrified their nerves was that the long-awaited mystery was about to be revealed, and when it was, it would turn into a decisive battle that would determine the definitive leader among the nation’s media!

The day after the competition for the top twenty to ten slots in the “Super Girl” New Territory District at Xingle Imperial City concluded, Beijing’s most widely circulated newspaper under Beijing Wireless, “Entertainment Summary,” along with Beijing Wireless TV, responded to Qi Gongru’s challenge in the most prominent positions and at the earliest opportunity.

“…

We have received an invitation from a certain TV program, and we are clear about the stance taken by certain individuals the day before.

As the most responsible and credible media in Beijing, we have already contacted the whistleblower, who has assured us of his participation in the program, and along with us, he trusts that with millions of viewers, the program will maintain as much fairness and objectivity as possible.

In facing so-called legal actions, we too will take an active stance, tearing off the false masks of some individuals and interest groups, exposing their true faces under the light of day…”

Every nook and cranny across the city where a television was present was broadcasting Beijing Wireless’ steadfast response to Imperial City Entertainment and Qi Gongru.

Such a firm stance undoubtedly added a large bucket of gasoline to the already blazing news.

“Wireless has accepted the challenge!

What a tough attitude!

There will be a good show to watch tomorrow!”

“Truly deserving of being the media industry leader!

Such presence!

Such dominance!”

“Imperial City has really stirred up trouble now!

Is it worth it for a talent show contestant?”

“Hey!

Who’s to say!

Maybe after tomorrow, Wireless will face utter humiliation!”

“I was uncertain last night!

But now, seeing Wireless’ attitude!

I’ve decided to bet a thousand bucks on Qi Gongru losing!”

“Who’s afraid!

A thousand it is.

If I die, I still have Imperial City and Qi Gongru to back me up!

Bring it on!”

“…”

If yesterday there were still people who didn’t want to follow the crowd and pay attention to this vulgar talent show, today there was no one without reason not to pay attention to it!

They were looking forward even more to tomorrow’s “Seeking Truth” program.

Liu Hun merely sneered scornfully at the tough stance of Beijing Wireless shown on the TV before casually switching it off and picking up his phone to call Zhong Xiao, asking, “Zhong Xiao, how are things on your end?”

“Don’t worry, Boss Liu, everything you instructed has been arranged!” Zhong Xiao assured him over the phone.

He only learned from the news this morning that Liu Hun’s keen interest in Qi Gongru wasn’t simply about using her for publicity and future profit-making, but about using this opportunity and the reports to bring down Beijing Wireless, the long-reigning media industry hegemon of Beijing.

“Good!

Make sure there’re no slip-ups!” Liu Hun gave his final instruction to Zhong Xiao before hanging up the phone.

After ending the call with Zhong Xiao, he closed his eyes and thought for a long time, awaiting tomorrow.

“Ding Ding Ding!

Ding Ding Ding!

Ding Ding!” The opening music of “Seeking Truth” began to play in front of the TV, and the beautiful host Guan Yingshan appeared on the sofa at the center of the stage, with several vacant sofas on both her left and right sides, as if quietly waiting for the guests to arrive.

“Seeking Truth!

Bringing you the truth!

Providing society with the truth!

Good evening, dear viewers!

Welcome to ‘Seeking Truth.’ I’m your host, Guan Yingshan!” Having delivered her opening remarks, the hostess placed both hands on her knees and said with a smile, “Our guest on today’s show might be someone you already know, so let’s welcome her with applause—Qi Gongru!

Welcome!

Welcome to ‘Seeking Truth’.”

Qi Gongru walked onto the stage with a relaxed expression, shook hands with the host, and then sat down on the sofa.

Dressed casually today, she greeted, “Hello everyone!

Hello host!

I am Qi Gongru!”

“Next, please welcome our other guest, Mr.

Han Minggui!

Welcome, Mr.

Han Minggui!” Guan Yingshan stood up and gestured towards another direction.

As Qi Gongru sat on the sofa, her eyes flashed with a trace of coldness at the sight of the man who had once shattered her family and used money to lure her mother away.

She wished this man got what he deserved; her tragic life had begun the moment he and her mother had parted ways.

Although Han Minggui had dressed meticulously, his eyes still revealed an inescapable sleaziness and greed.

Looking at Qi Gongru, who had once been a mere child and was now a stunning beauty, he couldn’t help but fantasize covertly.

“Welcome, Mr.

Han!” Guan Yingshan extended her hand and immediately regretted it, as she felt Han Minggui scrape his thumb across the back of her hand twice, which disgusted her.

“Mr.

Han, please take a seat!” Guan Yingshan maintained her smile despite the discomfort.

Han Minggui sat down with a smug look on his face, watching Qi Gongru across from him.

Although Zhang Yan had fled, the prospect of making a substantial profit from exposing Qi Gongru’s past scandals was still a tantalizingly profitable deal.

Guan Yingshan, seeing that both parties had taken their seats, asked Qi Gongru with a smile, “Miss Qi, do you recognize the man sitting across from you?”

Qi Gongru shook her head and answered, “I don’t recognize him.”

Before Guan Yingshan could question Han Minggui, Han Minggui raised his eyebrows and interjected, “How can you say you don’t recognize me, girl?

I am Uncle Hu?

Remember your neighbor from across your house?

After your mom left you and your dad, she went to Taiwan with me.

Do you remember when you walked in on your mom and me being intimate in the bathroom?

You must have been thirteen or fourteen years old at that time!

You definitely had memories of that!

Don’t lie!

Lying is bad!”

The eagerly awaited television program had already given everyone enough to look forward to with Han Minggui’s opening remarks.

Some people felt utterly disgusted by Han Minggui’s indiscreet exposure of these matters with no regard for decorum, while others hoped he would say more and more sensational things.

In any case, everyone was watching with different intentions and expectations, eager to see an even more explosive show.

“I’m sorry!

I don’t know what story you’ve concocted, but I truly don’t recognize you.

Also, this is a television program, and if you continue to talk nonsense, I can sue you for defamation,” Qi Gongru said, suppressing the anger in her heart.

“You want to sue me?

Then go ahead and sue!

Just let the courts investigate, and the truth will come out.

Little girl, don’t think that you can deny knowing people now that you’ve gained a bit of fame.

Although I wasn’t officially married to your mom, I was practically your stepfather, since I’ve slept with your mom, haven’t I!” Han Minggui brazenly shouted.

“Mr.

Han, please watch your language, thank you.

This is a television program after all, and there are underage viewers watching,” Guan Yingshan couldn’t help but remind him, having never seen someone so shameless.

“Alright, alright!

I will watch what I say!” Han Minggui chuckled as he looked at Guan Yingshan, his eyes rolling around on her flesh-colored stockings before he continued, “But what I’m saying are facts!

Why won’t she admit it?

Her mom told me all this in bed!

Could it be false?!”

“As soon as the show is over, I’m going to sue you!

I’ll make you pay for what you’ve said today!” Qi Gongru stated coldly to Han Minggui, already furious inside.

“Hurry up and sue!

I’m worried that this won’t cause a big enough stir!

You don’t know, Imperial City Broadcasting has given…

a lot… everyone is watching!

Maybe I’ll become a celebrity too!” Han Minggui almost slipped up but quickly smoothed over his words.

Viewers in front of the TV weren’t fools.

Although they already knew about Han Minggui’s backing from Imperial City Broadcasting, hearing it out in the open was like piercing through a layer of paper, immediately sparking a wave of heated discussion.

“I can’t believe Imperial City Broadcasting would stoop so low!

They could have found anyone else, but they chose this guy!”

“That’s right!

Look at that mouth of his!

Even if Qi Gongru did have some past issues, it’s not right to insult someone’s mother on television!”

“Han Minggui’s character is too low!

He’s just a vulgar man!

Can you trust what someone like that says?!”

“…”

As the two continued to deepen their argument, Qi Gongru gained more and more sympathy, and Han Minggui, who had intended to provoke her into exposing herself, clearly miscalculated.

He didn’t expect that the woman before him had become so composed.

Of course, he also didn’t anticipate that the experiences Qi Gongru had gone through had already made her capable of facing everything calmly, moreover with a backstage manipulator—Liu Hun.

“Both of you!

Here is a copy of ‘Entertainment Summary’ from over two months ago, the newspaper that revealed Miss Qi’s past.

Do either of you have any questions about it?” Guan Yingshan handed the newspapers to them, and both indicated they had no objections.

“Since neither of you has any objections, I would now like to go through the information revealed in it one by one.

Please, Miss Qi, provide evidence to refute it, and Mr.

Han Minggui, would you please provide further proof, okay?” Guan Yingshan asked them both, holding the newspaper.

Qi Gongru nodded in agreement, while Han Minggui said, “If she keeps denying it, there’s nothing I can do, but some of the exposures only require her mom to stand up for a face-to-face confrontation.

And some things can’t be changed, like being expelled from school…”

“Mr.

Han, shall we go through them one by one?” Guan Yingshan interrupted Han Minggui.

“Alright, alright, you host!

You host!

I’ll follow your lead,” Han Minggui nodded in agreement, his lecherous eyes wandering again.

With the newspaper in hand, Guan Yingshan said, “This newspaper states that Miss Qi was expelled from junior high for certain reasons, is that correct?”

“Messing around with hoodlums, getting abortions, skipping classes!

Not attending school!

Fighting and brawling!

And…” Han Minggui started to count off Qi Gongru’s alleged indiscretions on his fingers.

“Mr.

Han!” Guan Yingshan interrupted Han Minggui again, “I want to remind you once more, this program is being watched by minors, so please mind your language.”
