Chapter 291 The scene of catching someone in the act of adultery instantly turns into a debt collection rally!
A few hours later, the plane landed at the airport in the western suburbs of Beijing.
Su Yue rushed to the office without stopping.
Pushing open the door, a suffocating atmosphere hit me.
The office was a mess. Gu Nanxing's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked extremely haggard. She had lost a lot of weight in just a few days.
When she saw Su Yue, it was like seeing a lifeline. She rushed over, all her strength and pretense crumbling instantly, and she cried out in grievance.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't..."
Su Yue hugged her tightly, gently patting her trembling back, and whispered in her ear with unwavering certainty:
"I know."
“We’re not here to explain, we’re here to collect a debt.”
Those words were like a shot in the arm, instantly giving Gu Nanxing, who was on the verge of collapse, a sense of purpose. She stopped crying and nodded vigorously.
However, she had barely finished speaking.
"Bang!"
The office door, which was already on the verge of collapse, was kicked open with a powerful kick!
Mrs. Huang, whom I had seen countless times in photos, with a ferocious expression, stormed in again with a group of reporters carrying cameras!
She spotted the elegant Su Yue at a glance, as if she had found a new target, her sharp nails pointing directly at Su Yue and Gu Nanxing.
She used all her strength to let out a piercing scream.
"Look, everyone! The vixen's backer has arrived! Today I'm going to ruin your reputations!"
Faced with Mrs. Huang's ear-piercing screams and the countless flashing lights in front of him, Gu Nanxing's body trembled uncontrollably, and his face turned ashen.
She instinctively wanted to back away, to avoid those camera shots that seemed to devour her and those malicious speculations.
However, a warm and strong hand steadily supported her back.
Su Yue stepped forward half a step, perfectly shielding Gu Nanxing behind her.
She didn't look at the shrewish Mrs. Huang, nor did she show the slightest sign of being provoked.
Her gaze calmly swept over each reporter carrying a camera, and a composed, almost polite smile even appeared on her face.
That smile caused the previously noisy and chaotic scene to freeze for a moment.
All the reporters were stunned.
They anticipated the other party's panic, their bluster, and even a more ugly fight.
But I never imagined it would be such an eerily calm state.
Before they could react, Su Yue spoke.
"You journalists have come at just the right time."
Her opening remarks stunned everyone.
"Our lab was just about to hold a press conference, but we didn't expect everyone to be so well-informed and arrive ahead of time. Since everyone is here, that's perfect, it saves us the trouble of issuing another notice."
She calmly took out a stack of documents from her briefcase, her composed demeanor making it seem as if she were not the person being besieged, but rather the host in control of the entire scene.
"The purpose of this press conference is to clarify some recent false rumors about our staff member, Comrade Gu Nanxing, and to formally file a lawsuit against Mr. Huang Defa, the husband of this Mrs. Huang, for commercial fraud and malicious defamation."
Commercial fraud?
Malicious defamation?
The reporters were completely confused; this was a completely different version from the "catching someone in the act" tip they had received.
Mrs. Huang was dumbfounded. Her husband had clearly told her that as long as they made a scene and muddied the waters, the other party would give them a large sum of money to settle things. How did it turn into their family being sued?
Su Yue displayed the top document in her hand to all the cameras.
It was a procurement contract, stamped with a bright red official seal, black paper with white text, all clearly written.
"According to the raw material supply contract we signed with Mr. Huang Defa, our laboratory paid the full amount of RMB 50,000 to his company account half a month ago."
She then produced a bank transfer receipt, the amount and date of which matched the contract perfectly.
"However, to this day, Mr. Huang Defa has not only failed to deliver any goods, but has also delayed delivery for various reasons and refused to answer all our calls. This behavior constitutes serious contract fraud."
The evidence is irrefutable.
The reporters' cameras began to unconsciously turn towards Mrs. Huang, whose face was deathly pale.
The direction of the news seems to be taking a strange turn.
Su Yue did not stop there.
She put away the documents, a perfectly measured look of heartache and regret on her face.
“We originally wanted to save face for Mr. Huang and resolve the matter privately. But now it seems he has no other choice.”
She sighed softly and delivered the most devastating blow.
"According to our understanding, Mr. Huang seems to have recently become addicted to gambling and has accumulated huge gambling debts. We have reason to suspect that he misappropriated 50,000 yuan of our payment to cover his gambling debts, which is why he has been unable to deliver the goods for so long. In desperation, he instigated his wife to stage this farce today in an attempt to divert attention by defaming the reputation of our staff and thus evade his debts."
Gambling debts!
Embezzlement of public funds!
These two words, like two bombshells, exploded in the small office.
Mrs. Huang's mind went blank with a "buzz".
Her husband has indeed been leaving early and returning late lately, and has become extravagant with his spending. Every time she asks him about it, he says it's for business purposes.
So... so they used the money to gamble? And they even set their sights on me, tricking me into being their pawn?
In an instant, the anger of being deceived and the fear of the future completely overwhelmed her.
The reporters, on the other hand, went completely berserk, like sharks smelling blood.
While scandalous stories about mistresses may have some sensational value, nothing beats the explosive story of a "corrupt businessman who sets up a scheme to defraud a key national project, gambles away his fortune, and makes his wife take the blame"!
"Mrs. Huang! Is your husband really in debt from gambling?"
Has he admitted to embezzling public funds?
"Are you aware that your actions today constitute complicity in malicious defamation?"
The cameras and microphones instantly turned around and surrounded Mrs. Huang.
The "first wife," who was arrogant just a moment ago, has now become an "accomplice" that everyone is condemning. She is overwhelmed by countless questions and can only hold her head and scream helplessly.
The situation was completely out of control.
What started as a "crime scene" dramatically transformed into a "massive debt collection scene."
Gu Nanxing stood behind Su Yue, completely stunned by this unbelievable scene.
She then understood what her sister-in-law meant when she said, "We're not here to explain, we're here to collect a debt."
