Whispers imdiately started amongst the crowd.
"What’s the benefit for a female celebrity to make such an ugly scene?"
"Blackmail and extortion, obviously!"
Bing Xin was furious and yelled at those people, "I didn’t!"
With aggrieved sobs, she bit her red lip. "Isn’t calling the police just allowing many people to be unaware of his beastly nature behind a human façade? Director Si is so high and mighty, how could he understand the pain of us commoners?"
"You’re talking nonsense! I didn’t..."
"Didn’t what? Didn’t touch ? We woke up in the sa bed, and I still have your ’stuff’ inside of ! Do you dare to have it checked?"
"You took advantage of while I was drunk! You’re a societal degenerate, nothing but trash!"
Bing Xin was furious, not giving Jian Mingcheng a chance to retort.
She was absolutely certain in her stance, effectively controlling Jian Mingcheng.
Si Yuhuan was sowhat speechless. His brother-in-law was just too honest. Having no experience with won, he was easily led by the nose.
He still wanted to say sothing.
Suddenly, a series of CLICK-CLACK sounds echoed—the crisp sound of high heels tapping on the ground.
All eyes turned towards the source of the noise.
Jian Xi, sporting a dashing leather jacket, a miniskirt, and high boots, had her long, curly hair casually draped over her shoulders. She looked enchanting and captivating, causing all the n’s eyes to widen. Her makeup-free face was clean and refreshing, adding to her natural nobility, while her cool eyes landed precisely on Bing Xin.
"Miss Bing Xin, you were drunk, yet you still recall the sensation of being forced? What exactly is inside you? Why not take it out for everyone to see?"
PFFT—
Yan Qing couldn’t help but laugh.
Madam never fails to shock with her words.
Si Yuhuan’s face darkened. She was too beautiful, captivating the attention of those leering n, a feeling that made him extrely uncomfortable.
And were those the words a lady should speak?
Everyone stared at a certain part of Bing Xin, their eyes glancing furtively.
Bing Xin glared hatefully at Jian Xi.
Jian Xi, her expression cold, continued her verbal assault, "Which shortsighted person told you to pick on an honest mber of the Jian Family? Didn’t you know he has a sister with a formidable professional background and a short temper?"
Jian Xi was renowned as a legal prodigy. Jiang Qing had just been forced by her to apologize publicly and consequently faced a nationwide backlash.
A flicker of unwillingness crossed Bing Xin’s hesitant gaze as she clenched her molars. "So what if you’re a lawyer? Can you twist right and wrong?"
"I don’t twist black and white; I just seek the truth."
Jian Xi smiled, displaying the financial records and video surveillance of Bing Xin’s recent activities that she had soone investigate. "Breaching an advertising contract resulted in a compensation of thirty million. Causing staff injury due to your diva behavior on set led to a compensation of three million. Covering up the news cost your company five million. Oh, and here are photos of you consorting with several foreign businessn on a cruise. Adding it all up, you must have kept quite a few old n company, right?"
"By the way, I’ve heard you’re known for your ’icy beauty, pure and innocent’ image. Don’t you feel ashad?"
It was clear to any perceptive person that this was a setup; their gazes toward Bing Xin filled with contempt.
Damn it.
That person said they had erased all her damaging material. How could Jian Xi have uncovered it so easily?
The reputation of Beijing’s top lawyer was reshaping her worldview.
Jian Xi, with a domineering air, threw the photos in Bing Xin’s face. "You play around so much, then pretend to be a virgin to deceive my brother. Are you trying to force the Jian Family to marry you?"
Her sche exposed, Bing Xin beca sowhat flustered.
Coupled with Jian Xi’s investigation into her background, it was as if she had been stripped bare for all to see.
Overwheld with sha yet unwilling to accept defeat, she retorted, "Jian Xi, so what if you’re sharp-tongued? Never mind my image; Jian Mingcheng took , so he has to take responsibility!"
Bing Xin, deciding to go all out, discarded her aloof deanor and began to act shalessly.
"It seems she’s hell-bent on clinging to our Jian Family, dreaming of marrying my older brother!" soone in the crowd remarked.
The crowd murmured.
"How shaless! I couldn’t see it before. She’s such a promiscuous woman, trying to marry into a higher status. I’ve always said Jian Mingcheng is an upright person; he definitely couldn’t be that type of man." The person who had just called Jian Mingcheng a "refined scoundrel" imdiately changed their tune.
Jian Mingcheng was so furious his fingers trembled. Pointing at her, he yelled, "In your dreams! I would never marry a woman like you!"
"That’s not for you to decide! If you don’t marry , I’ll sue you for rape!"
Bing Xin raised her chin, looking at Jian Xi with smug satisfaction. "Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because Si Yuhuan is backing you! Today, unless Jian Mingcheng agrees to marry , I’ll ensure the Jian Family knows no peace!"
Si Yuhuan’s eyes turned cold for a mont.
Yan Qing knew this woman had crossed his boss’s line.
Unexpectedly, Jian Xi didn’t seem to regard her as a threat at all. "I don’t need a man backing to make you face a lawsuit."
Si Yuhuan’s gaze darkened slightly.
Her words were quite cutting.
Was he really so insignificant that she wouldn’t even ask for his help?
Jian Xi looked at Bing Xin and spoke calmly, laying out her accusation, "From this mont on, as Jian Mingcheng’s lawyer, I will sue you for defamation, infringent of personal reputation, blackmail, and extortion. For these combined offenses, you could be sentenced to three to ten years of imprisonnt, plus a fine of several million."
"Are you threatening ?"
Bing Xin’s eyes, wild like a madwoman’s, fixed on Jian Xi, a hint of panic rising within her.
"Lest you think this is unfair, I’ve already called the police to handle the matter."
Jian Xi went over and patted Jian Mingcheng’s elbow. "Brother, I’m here."
Jian Mingcheng nodded, sowhat chagrined. "I didn’t do anything. I just felt a headache, and then I blacked out."
He still felt dizzy.
This woman’s incessant shouting made it impossible for him to concentrate.
If Si Yuhuan and Jian Xi hadn’t successively intervened, he would still be hounded by her accusations and hysterics.
"I know." Jian Xi had barely finished speaking when the police appeared.
"Who is Jian Xi?" an officer asked.
Jian Xi stepped forward. "That’s . I called the police. Please take these two individuals to the detention center."
She’s serious!
Bing Xin was both frantic and furious. "Are you crazy? You actually called the police? Do you want your brother to go to jail?"
Jian Xi looked at her indifferently. "I told you I would sue you. Now it’s ti for evidence collection. Please cooperate."
This was the first ti such a "pig-butchering scam" had been escalated to this extent, attracting a flood of comnts from netizens.
Jian Xi made everything public.
All the netizens sided with Jian Mingcheng, vehently denouncing Bing Xin.
In just half an hour, the number of shares had broken ten million and was trending towards one hundred million.
Jiang Qing, who had been holding a glass of red wine, ready to celebrate, exploded with anger upon seeing the news.
"Jian Xi is a lunatic!" she roared.
In the face of such a scandal, shouldn’t the entire Jian Family have stepped in to suppress the news completely?
Then she could have found a group of people to blow the lid off the scandal, making the Jian Family the target of public condemnation. No matter how smart Jian Xi was, how capable Jian Mingcheng was, or what influential connections she had, they wouldn’t be able to save a morally bankrupt, unscrupulous family despised by millions of netizens!
How did things take such a sharp turn? How did Jian Xi end up using her own tactics against her?
