Chapter 22 Fighting Alone

Bo Wei frowned. "You're twisting the truth and asking me to apologize? An apology is out of the question. If anyone should apologize, it should be you apologizing to me. I'll say it again, I never said that. Besides, it was you who verbally insulted me in the elevator."

The security guard felt that this was going too far. Posting the video in the group chat would cause too much of a stir, and it wasn't something he could decide; he was just a security guard.

The onlookers refused to leave, and their numbers grew larger and larger, with no one offering any words of advice.

"Alright, none of you need to say anything more. It's not too late to clean up the mess. This is the Li Group, and making a scene here won't benefit anyone."

The woman was dissatisfied, and the security guard was clearly biased towards her. "It's not that I want to make a scene, but this matter is already quite serious."

The security guard was resentful that she wouldn't listen. But he was just a lowly security guard with no authority, and the matter didn't seem to have reached the point of being reported yet.

All I could do was sigh in frustration and irritation.

Bo Wei looked around and realized that when you're caught in the middle of a whirlpool, no stranger is obligated to help you; you have to save yourself.

"I need to access the surveillance footage, the footage from inside the elevator. Once I see the footage, everything will be clear."

Upon hearing this, a hint of panic flashed in the woman's eyes.

But they quickly calmed down and showed no fear.

The man's face paled slightly, but when he looked down and saw his girlfriend calm and composed, he instantly realized something and felt much more at ease.

Viewing the surveillance footage was completely beyond the authority of the two security guards. "We don't have the authority to view the surveillance footage. We're off duty now. If we want to view the footage, we need to apply to our superiors and get approval. It's not something anyone can just watch whenever they want."

Bo Wei clenched her fists and said firmly, "In that case, I have no choice but to call the police. You verbally insulted me first, then provoked trouble and physically assaulted me, and now you're spreading rumors and slander."

Call the police?

A group of people whose eyes had been dulled by work suddenly had their eyes come alive, and the scene became more and more lively.

The woman was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.

Bo Wei glanced around, and people started whispering among themselves. Some said she was no pushover, some said she was wasting police resources, and some said she was trying to embolden herself by calling the police...

Of course, some people say that she dares to do this because she is telling the truth, but this is extremely rare.

How confusing and helpless it is to be surrounded by people who don't trust you and are only hearing slander.

Bo Wei glanced defiantly at the crowd and said to the woman in the most resolute and loudest voice:

"I'll explain one last time. First of all, I never said anything about your boyfriend secretly filming me. This is something you deliberately said to frame me."

Secondly, this conflict stemmed from your unwarranted humiliation of me in the elevator, and I only managed to retaliate with two sentences.

Third, you started it. I didn't want to get entangled with you, but you rushed out and grabbed my hair first, so I reflexively retaliated.

Fourth, you also took advantage of the fact that everyone present did not understand the whole cause and effect of the incident to mislead everyone and try to make things worse;

Finally, my decision to call the police was a last resort. You provoked me first and then maliciously fabricated false facts to harm me. I was simply using legal means to protect myself.

Bo Wei speaks clearly and logically.

Everyone present heard it clearly. Because the information they were going to hear had been supplemented, or perhaps because people naturally tend to have a higher opinion of those who speak clearly and logically, many people changed their minds in an instant, and the image of the beautiful woman changed in their minds.

So that's how it is~

That woman is so arrogant; she's no ordinary person. She even misled them. It's disgusting.

No, no, no, I can't let myself be led by the nose this time. Let's see.

When the woman saw that everyone's gaze towards her had changed from friendly and sympathetic to one of reproach and disdain after hearing Bo Wei's words, she panicked.

"You're really good at arguing. I can't talk as well as you. You know perfectly well who's the master at manipulating the onlookers. Do you think we can't distinguish right from wrong? We can tell who's right and who's wrong just by looking at their clothes."

Instantly, most people's faces turned somewhat gloomy. What did she mean by saying that you could tell just by looking at someone's clothes? Without that statement, she might have seemed somewhat believable, but once those words were spoken, her face suddenly looked rather ugly.

In contrast, the beautiful woman didn't say much, but stood there with her shoulders straight and back dignified, looking stunning.

"What do you mean you can tell just by looking at their clothes? That's disgusting. A white shirt, a suit skirt, not tight, not short, not deliberately showing off, there's nothing wrong with what they're wearing."

"Tsk, I initially thought she was so innocent, how could she say something like that?"

"Exactly, if there's a problem, it's that the beautiful woman has a great figure, but is that her fault? Since when has a strength become a fault?"

Bo Wei saw everyone's reactions and felt a little relieved.

Many people around were taking pictures with their phones, including some who came later. They might have only a superficial understanding of the song and misunderstood me, then posted it online. How will I be able to clear my name then?

She doesn't like to argue; instead, she simplifies and condenses the cause and effect of the matter, explaining it to everyone one by one, hoping to gain more people's trust and prevent them from misunderstanding and acting out of righteous indignation. She uploads the information online for everyone to judge.

Moreover, she insisted on seeing the surveillance footage, and even if she couldn't, she wanted to maintain her stance and convince more people around her. "Whether I manipulated the audience or not, and what is right and wrong, will be clear once the surveillance footage is seen."

Seeing her serious attitude and sincere tone, without any veiled barbs, aggressiveness, or sarcasm...

Finally, more and more people stood by her side, and finally someone stood up.

“I work in the administrative department. Normally, if it involves the company’s interests, we do need to report it before we can view the surveillance footage. But this is a minor matter that has nothing to do with the company’s interests, so it’s no problem to take a look.”

Upon hearing this, the woman's expression changed, and she became somewhat flustered. She couldn't let them see the surveillance footage!

what to do?

Just then...

"Jiajia? What happened?" A middle-aged man pushed through the crowd and walked in, his tone displeased and reproachful, like a parent who was protecting their child before even understanding the truth.

Pan Yujia's eyes lit up when she saw the person who came, and she was instantly full of ambition. "Manager, you've come at the right time. She falsely accused my boyfriend of secretly filming her, but she can't produce any evidence and still insists on seeing the surveillance footage. Our Li Group's surveillance cameras aren't something just anyone can see, but she threatened to call the police if we didn't let her see them."

After listening, Wang Minghua looked coldly at Bo Wei, sizing her up and down. "Which department are you from? Do you think the Li Group is some small, unknown company? To view the surveillance footage, you need to apply to the surveillance department first, then report to the administration department, and then to the general manager. Only after approval can you view it. Besides, not everyone is qualified to apply. Call the police? Even if the police come, they have to follow the procedures."

Bo Wei looked at the man in his suit, heard the woman call him manager, and felt a strong sense of hostility towards her.

He must hold a high position, and now he has no reason to side with that woman.

A sudden chill ran through me.
