After Huo Minxue came out of Wu Xingchao's office, his expression turned completely cold.

Ignoring the stares and glances of others, he walked directly up to Huang Peilan.

"Comrade Huang, you can tell me any opinions you have about me to my face, but if you continue to spread such unfounded rumors behind my back, even if you are a woman, I will pursue the matter to the end." Huo Minxue's tone was extremely cold.

Huang Peilan froze instantly. She never expected Huo Minxue to confront her in front of so many colleagues.

"Senior Brother Minxue, what are you saying? Have you misunderstood me?" Huang Peilan's eyes immediately reddened.

"You know very well whether I've misunderstood you or not. I'm only saying this one last time. If there's a next time, I won't let it go so easily!" After saying this, Huo Minxue returned to his post.

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Huang Peilan.

Huang Peilan felt like she was being pricked by thorns; she was indeed the one who had spread the rumors about Huo Minxue in her workplace recently.

She had always thought that Huo Minxue was a mild-mannered and easy-going person, and that even if he knew about this, he would at most talk to her about it in private.

But she never expected that he would warn her directly in front of so many people.

"Huo Minxue, what exactly did you mean by those words?!" Huang Peilan couldn't help but question loudly.

She can't afford to lose face like this, otherwise how will she ever be able to work there again?

Huo Minxue paused slightly, turned around, and looked at Huang Peilan with cold eyes.

"You're not smart enough to understand my experiment, and you can't even understand what I'm saying?" Huo Minxue said unhappily.

Those who were watching the play initially burst into laughter upon hearing this, as they had a low threshold for humor.

Some people, concerned about saving face, kept pinching their thighs, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

Honestly, they never imagined that Huo Minxue had such a big mouth.

Huang Peilan's work ability is indeed not very good. Many times when I communicate with her, I have to explain things to her several times and she still doesn't understand.

She could never complete the tasks assigned to her on time, and even when she did submit them on time, the quality was worrying, and in the end, I had to help her revise them.

She's just good at interpersonal relationships and speaking, and occasionally she'll bring some local specialties from her home to her colleagues.

Over time, no one said anything harsh to her.

It wasn't until Huo Minxue completely exposed Huang Peilan's pretense that even some colleagues who couldn't stand it on ordinary days secretly applauded Huo Minxue in their hearts.

"You...you've gone too far!" Huang Peilan was so angry that her fingertips were trembling.

"Who is being unreasonable, me or you? Every word I said is based on facts, while everything you said is fabricated." Influenced by his family, Huo Minxue has always been considerate of his female comrades.

But if you cross his line, your identity as a woman will not be an obstacle for him to seek justice for himself.

"I...where did I fabricate anything? Don't slander me." Huang Peilan's tears fell in large drops.

Some people wanted to comfort her, but a smart person saw the situation clearly and pulled her back.

"Are you sure you want me to find all the evidence?" Huo Minxue stared intently at Huang Peilan.

Huang Peilan's heart skipped a beat, but things had already come to this point, and she couldn't back down.

Moreover, she didn't think Huo Minxue could find out.

"What if you can't produce any evidence?" Huang Peilan retorted.
