Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Video Exposed

In the following ten or so minutes, Fang Bai asked the same question to seven or eight "victims" present at the scene.

Surprisingly, those "victims" who had been condemning Beauty Company with tears and sobs now admitted, when responding to Fang Bai’s questions, that they had intentionally used inferior cosmetics after being paid and instructed by someone else to tarnish the reputation of Beauty Group.

What made everyone at the scene laugh and cry even more was that, after those "victims" sat down having answered Fang Bai’s questions, they denied everything they had just said and continued to attack and slander Beauty Group.

The contradictory responses of the "victims" caused a stir among the audience on-site, and it made them realize that the incident was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Meanwhile, citizens watching the live broadcast on TV started to doubt the incident, with a considerable number shifting their belief toward the idea that Beauty Company had been maliciously framed.

"Those people are contradicting themselves and their eyes are shifty—it’s clear there’s something wrong!"

In Yanjing, Old Master Lu of the Lu Family, Lu Shengguo, pointed at the "victims" on the TV screen, indignantly saying.

However, when he saw Fang Bai smiling, he immediately cheered up, and with a twist of his beard, said, "Seeing Brother Fang so calm and confident, I knew he must have a trick up his sleeve... I’m very much looking forward to it. I wonder how Brother Fang intends to uncover the mastermind behind this!"

In a luxurious villa in a certain manor in Zhongzhou City, Li Dongyang and Shen Huanian stood in front of the TV, both with indescribably ugly expressions.

Zhu Guowei and two others from the municipal health inspection bureau had just turned on them, which already infuriated them, and now the flip-flopping of the dozen or so "victims" drove them to an even greater rage.

"I’m not afraid of opponents who are gods, but teammates who are pigs... Li Dongyang, I’ve been screwed over by you, the pig! It seems I’ll need to think twice before collaborating with you again in the future!"

Shen Huanian sneered at Li Dongyang with a face full of mockery.

Li Dongyang’s face turned red and white by turns—he himself couldn’t understand why those "victims" had suddenly changed their tune.

"There’s something fishy about this... Could it be that Beauty Company has spent more money to buy them over?"

Li Dongyang muttered to himself.

"Didn’t you have someone keeping an eye on them all the time? Would you not know if someone approached them?"

Shen Huanian sneered.

"Well... even the tightest net has a hole. It’s hard to guarantee there won’t be any problems..."

"Just a problem?"

Shen Huanian suddenly erupted, shouting furiously, "Every goddamn one of the dozen people has a problem, and you call that just a little issue? Li Dongyang, if we didn’t go way back, I would suspect you’re in cahoots with Beauty Company to betray me!"

"Your mother’s fart!"

Li Dongyang also jumped up, his eyes wide with anger as he retorted, "We’re in the same boat right now! Me screwing you over is the same as screwing myself over. Do you think I’m an idiot?"

"Ha, what’s the difference between you and an idiot?"

"Your mother’s the idiot! Your whole family are idiots!"

The two men glared at each other with reddened faces, shouting loudly, as Secretary Wang watched on the side, dumbfounded, not daring to take a breath.

Just then, a familiar scene appeared on the television screen. Secretary Wang’s eyes widened as she looked closely, suddenly trembling as if she had been electrocuted.

"President Shen, President Li, stop arguing! Look at the television... quickly, look at the television..."

Secretary Wang pointed at the television screen, her voice trembling with alarm.

Upon hearing this, Shen Huanian and Li Dongyang turned their gaze to the television. Then both of their pupils constricted, their faces paled, and their expressions conveyed sheer terror, as if they had seen something inconceivable.

At this very moment, on the large display to the left of the podium in the multifunctional conference room on the third floor of Beauty Company, a video was being played, and many experienced individuals could tell at a glance that it was secretly recorded.

The scene in the video was a luxurious living room in a villa of a courtyard, with two men and one woman.

The two men were both young and exuded an aura of wealth, clearly the sons of prominent families. They held glasses of red wine, whispering among themselves at times and speaking loudly at others.

A voluptuous beauty stood to the side, her role was to pour wine for the two men.

The equipment used to secretly record this video was obviously very advanced, not only were the faces of the two men crystal clear, but their conversation was also audible.

The topic of the two men revolved around how to deal with Beauty Company and how to strike at Xia Chenyu, filled with sinister conspiratorial tones.

Thousands of people in the conference room watched and listened intently, some already recognizing the two men on the screen, their expressions turning peculiar to the extreme.

This segment only showed the conversation of the two men in the villa before the scene switched to another setting.

Only two people were in this new scene, one was the portly "President Li" from the first video, and the other was Ma Yunfeng, the middle-aged woman who had been the loudest in the conference just moments before.

The audience could see that President Li, with a pleasant demeanor, sat beside Ma Yunfeng, placing stacks of thick cash into her hands. He then instructed Ma Yunfeng to "perform enthusiastically" in front of the media the next day, along with the other dozen "victims," to smear Beauty Company and force them to apologize and make reparations.

"This... this..."

Ma Yunfeng, sitting in the front row at the podium, looked as if she had seen a ghost. Her face changed color, she grew restless, and sweat began to pour from her forehead. She pointed to the video, stuttering, unable to utter a word for a long time.

She had thought that her transaction with President Li was utterly secret, not realizing it had been secretly recorded and now broadcasted nationwide. With that, her reputation was utterly ruined.

The video on the display kept changing scenes, with each lasting a few minutes, and each one featuring President Li with one of the "victims" The content of their dialogues was similar to that with Ma Yunfeng.

When the final scene finished playing, and people looked at those "victims" in the first row below the podium, they no longer held the same pride as before; some were pale, some flushed, and others hung their heads, too ashamed to meet anyone’s eye.

These dozen or so "victims" knew that with their shady dealings with President Li exposed, they would face overwhelming public outrage. Realizing that although they had made a substantial sum from this affair, they would become social pariahs, regret filled their hearts.

"It’s over! Everything’s over!"

In a villa of a courtyard in Zhongzhou City, after seeing the segments of video in the live broadcast, Li Dongyang collapsed onto the sofa, looking utterly devastated.
