"I have been running a small restaurant specializing in local dishes for nearly thirty years! To be honest, my cooking skills are quite good, and I've earned the recognition and approval of many regular custors!"
Chef Song recounted slowly in a loud voice, "But since the end of August last year, regular custors have gradually started to say that my food doesn't taste as good as it used to. I just thought it was because I was getting older, and my sense of taste was declining!"
"Until October, when Lin Xiao'en brought two beautiful young ladies to the restaurant to dine."
"Lin imdiately noticed the decline in the taste of my dishes after just one bite. He asked the waiter a few questions and then suggested I might have a brain tumor. Upon hearing that, I was so furious..."
"I ca out of the kitchen with a large ladle, ready to confront them!"
Chef Song patted his big head and chuckled, saying, "You all saw it too, Lin looks so kind, he doesn't seem like the type to speak nonsense."
His words elicited a burst of good-natured laughter.
Lin Jie's appearance isn't just kind, it's handso and charming. Truly, good-looking people get special treatnt in everything they do!
"I skeptically listened to their advice, went to the hospital for a CT scan, thinking it's just about a thousand yuan, so why not gain so peace of mind?"
Chef Song clapped his hands forcefully and said with relief, "The scan indeed showed a tumor in my brain. The doctor said, if I had been one or two months later, things would have been uncertain."
"You old rascal!"
He pointed a chubby finger sharply at Hu Yitong and exclaid, "In my case, Lin neither asked for any benefits beforehand nor after. Is this what you call soone without dical ethics?"
At that mont, a clear voice rang out in the small hall: "Taking this opportunity, please allow to speak of an incident!"
Everyone turned towards the source of the voice, and saw a young woman standing up from the back of the small hall!
Lin Jie recognized her, Xiao Feifei!
Pan Xinli picked up the microphone and said seriously, "As they say, 'listen to all sides and you will be enlightened; listen to only one side and you will be benighted!'"
"We've heard Dean Hu's accusations against Lin Jie, and we've also heard this account from Comrade Song Dazhuang of Lin Jie's selfless help! I believe everyone here wants to understand who Lin Jie genuinely is!"
"Please, this lady, co to the podium and tell your story!"
Hu Yitong squinted at Xiao Feifei as she walked to the podium, feeling the situation spiraling out of control, but he could only barrel forward down this path.
Xiao Feifei reached the podium, took the microphone from a staff mber, and said, "My na is Xiao Feifei, and I was that pregnant woman trapped by the storm, struggling with a difficult labor!"
"At that ti, I was half a month before my due date when I slipped and fell at ho in the morning. My water broke, one of the baby's feet was out, but the birth wouldn't proceed!"
Recalling the situation, Xiao Feifei felt a mix of fear and urgency, "At that ti, the roads were blocked, and the ambulance couldn't co, it was critical!"
"My ex-husband initially went to get Dr. Luo, but Lin was staying there at the ti!"
"I heard, when Lin heard my ex-husband's plea, he imdiately grabbed an ergency kit and rushed over. The power was out, so they had to take the stairs, descending from the nineteenth floor and then climbing up to the twenty-first floor to get to my ho."
"My mother said at the ti, Lin was drenched in sweat, as if he had been drenched in water."
"In the end, with Lin's help, both my daughter and I survived safely."
Pausing, Xiao Feifei shouted with even greater force, "I want to tell you all, Lin didn't ask for a single penny in compensation then, nor did he ask for any hardship pay afterward!"
"This is the person whom this old man claims has no dical ethics!"
As soon as Xiao Feifei finished speaking, a young man in the fifth row stood up and said, "Everyone, I have sothing to say too!"
He ran up to the podium in large strides, took the microphone from Xiao Feifei, and said, "My na is Huang Hongwei, and I'm a regular civil servant of the Lijiang District Governnt. In my capacity as a public servant, I assure you that every word I say is true, without a shred of falsehood!"
"On the morning of October 26 last year, I was driving my wife, who was about to give birth, to the hospital when a burst water pipe damaged the road ahead, causing a massive traffic jam. Our car was stuck in the unmoving traffic!"
"Perhaps due to the extre stress, my wife suddenly felt severe stomach pain and was going into labor!"
"There was nothing we could do; my wife had to give birth right there on the road!"
"At that ti, many kind-hearted people gathered around to use their bodies as shields against the wind on the road, and soone even climbed onto the car roofs to relay calls for a doctor from person to person!"
"Minutes later, a hero appeared!"
"He ran over huffing and guided my wife's birthing process. With his help, my wife safely delivered our son!"
Huang Hongwei paused and said, "At that ti, my mind was entirely on my wife, and it was only when we reached the hospital that I realized I hadn't even asked for the hero's na!"
"Until these recent days, after seeing news and posts on the internet, I recognized that the hero at that mont was none other than Lin Jie standing here on the podium!"
"Everyone, I want to say, could such a person, who steps forward, silently helps others, and seeks no reward, really lack dical ethics?"
Seeing one person after another whom he had helped stand up to speak for him, Lin Jie couldn't help but feel moved. At this mont, he felt that everything he had done in the past was truly worthwhile!
"I also have sothing to say!"
The voice was clear and pleasant, and very familiar. Lin Jie saw An Keng jog a few steps and co to the podium.
She took the microphone from Huang Hongwei's hand and crisply said, "I am An Keng from the An Family, the one whose life was saved by Lin Jie during that accident at Baihui Square."
"Because of that incident, my dad was even sued by soone. At the ti, it was widely reported in the news and online. Everyone present here should still rember, right?"
Seeing many people in the small auditorium nodding, An Keng continued, "At that ti, after I was sent to the hospital and completely out of danger, it was then that my dad, sister, and I realized that the person who saved , Lin Jie, we didn't know his na, nor where he lived!"
"Later, my dad saw a report in the Binhai Evening News, and it was through that reporter that we found out where Lin Jie lived, and only then did we find him and got to know him!"
An Keng huffed and said, "All our gratitude and rewards to Lin Jie were given voluntarily, not a cent was asked by Lin Jie himself."
"As the saying goes, 'Heaven sees what people do,' if I tell a single lie, may I be struck by lightning!"
An Keng turned and looked at Hu Yitong, pointing her pink little finger at him, and shouted, "I dare to swear, swear the most vicious oath, do you dare? Do you dare to swear that every word you've said is true?"
"Do you dare? Do you dare?"
Being interrogated like this by a little girl, Hu Yitong couldn't keep his composure, and shouted, "Little girl, you are too naive! If swearing worked, what would we need the police for? What would we need the law for?"
"You, you, you..."
Hu Yitong pointed with a trembling hand at Chef Song, Xiao Feifei, and Huang Hongwei, saying, "You are either deceived by Lin Jie's false facade or you are stooges hired by Lin Jie!"
"As the saying goes, 'The greatest deceit appears kind,' Lin Jie is boosting his reputation and fa with small acts!"
"Let ask you, when Lin Jie helped you, did he spend money, or even risk his life?"
Hu Yitong said with a mocking face, "Didn't he not do so?"
"He rely perford so simple dical skills, and made you all proclaim for him and raise his na. This kind of thing with a hundred benefits and no harm, I would do it too."
"Because you are simply not Lin Jie's real targets."
"To be blunt, how much can you squeeze out from you? Thousands or tens of thousands?"
Hu Yitong once again turned his gaze to An Weize and the others, implying, "Spending millions on luxury cars, tens of millions on villas, this is Lin Jie's real target."
"And you are just the pawns Lin Jie uses to accumulate reputation!"
After listening to him, Principal Pan frowned deeply and raised the microphone, speaking softly, "I also have a matter to discuss with everyone here!"
"About half a month ago, I happened to et Lin Jie."
"At the ti, I was on the way to an invitation from a guest and got into a rear-end accident. The cause of the accident was a box truck, the driver had a sudden heart attack and couldn't control the vehicle, causing a chain rear-end collision of seven or eight vehicles!"
Principal Pan turned to Lin Jie with a smile, saying, "Coincidentally, the car that hit from behind was Lin Jie's luxury car."
"I saw Lin Jie, without any hesitation after getting out of his car, running to the box truck that had the accident and using the heavy punching thod to restore the driver's heartbeat, giving him a precious chance for rescue."
Principal Pan looked at Hu Yitong, saying, "Dean Hu, at that ti, Lin Jie didn't hesitate at all after getting out of the car; he ran to save that driver. If he were a hypocritical person, he had absolutely no need to do so."
He gave Hu Yitong a way out, "Dean Hu, do you have any misunderstandings about Lin Jie?"
"Who said he got no benefits?"
Hu Yitong excitedly said, "Principal Pan, can you really confirm that the rear-end accident was really just an accident? Wasn't it intentionally created by soone?"
"Leaving a good impression in front of you is more important than anything!"
He sneered coldly again, saying, "The thod of heavy punching is only effective for a few diseases that cause cardiac arrest, is Lin Jie just that lucky?"
Hu Yitong firmly said, "Principal Pan, this is just a setup; you've been deceived!"
"Haha..."
A burst of laughter erupted from Lin Jie's friends' area, and Ye Hongqing was seen standing up, patting his round belly.
He cupped his hands to everyone around and said, "Sorry, I just couldn't help but laugh!"
"This old gentleman is now convinced that Lin Jie is a bad person, a person with no dical ethics, and that everything he does is with ulterior motives!"
"To be honest, I have a piece of evidence, an undeniable piece of evidence."
"I've already ordered my n to deliver it as quickly as possible; please, everyone, be patient for a little longer."
