"The leader is right. How could a child from an ordinary family have such abilities? A girl who can knock out three men and drive a car? It's obvious she's a socialite."
"Even if he's not a gang member, he's still a disobedient child. At such a young age, why doesn't he stay home and study instead of working for his family? If he doesn't run into danger outside, who will?"
"They are just some troublesome kids. There is no point in saying so much. They need to be disciplined and taught a lesson."
Under Li Qiming's guidance, people pointed the finger at them and were just about to say "served them right".
Yu Zihan had long known that public opinion could kill people, that a person's words could kill people, and now she had experienced it firsthand. These people hadn't investigated at all, and had no idea of the truth. They simply relied on their own subjective opinions to speak words that could kill people and pierce their hearts.
Pei Shuyan and Zhou Bingxuan were so angry when they heard these words that they burst into tears. They wanted to open their mouths to defend themselves, but then they thought, they had already defended themselves, and it was useless. After this incident, the two of them once again realized that society is very complex. Here, there is no black and white, there are many colors.
Yu Zihan saw the two's helplessness, loss, and even dejection. She knew that what happened today would help them grow. The experiences in society were far more cruel than those on campus.
"Leader, I don't think I knew you before, nor have I offended you." Yu Zihan looked at Li Qiming and said.
"This has nothing to do with whether you know me or not. Don't try to get close to me. I don't want to know someone like you." Li Qiming didn't know what this little girl was up to.
"I don't want to know someone like you either. Didn't I say it's a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them? Even high-ranking leaders give those who make mistakes a chance to correct them. But as a leader, from the moment I showed up, you hammered me in with your first words, and then you didn't even give me a chance to defend myself. Now you're trying to manipulate public opinion to dislike us and throw dirty water on us.
"You're truly unfitting of a leader by doing this. Besides, do the police only look at one side's evidence to determine a crime? If that's the case, I can only say that you're even less worthy of being a leader. From what we just saw, you didn't listen to the statements of my sister and me, the two victims." Yu Zihan's words silenced everyone present.
This girl is so powerful that she even dares to confront the deputy mayor. Is she so bold?
"My remarks just now were not out of my own audacity, but because I have the confidence. It is the leaders present here, our police, the journalists present here, and the people who have given me this confidence. I believe you will clear my name and not accuse me of any crime.
"I have nothing to fear from my own shadow. I haven't done anything illegal. I was just using my vacation time to buy supplies. I didn't miss out on my studies or cause any trouble for anyone. Even if my actions aren't universally recognized, I haven't violated any laws or regulations." She looked at the crowd, who had been discussing the matter a moment ago. Now, they were listening attentively.
"I believe that most of the leaders here are good leaders who can serve the people. So I expose Cui Dawei for abusing his power and even participating in the robbery gang and acting as their umbrella." Her words made the atmosphere at the scene very weird.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Cui Dawei. Cui Dawei didn't expect the little girl to say such words, and he couldn't help but panic.
"Haha, you're quite impressive, young lady. You're worthy of being called a "keke." I just slipped my tongue. So, I'd like to ask, do you have any evidence for your accusation?" Li Qiming's pretentiousness made Yu Zihan sick. She had been holding off on producing evidence because she wanted to see if this Deputy Mayor Li was behind Cui Dawei. The evidence Yu Zihan produced could easily prove Cui Dawei guilty, but even if the person behind the accusation surfaced, there was no direct evidence.
Cui Dawei finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his brother-in-law's words. He shouted, "Yes, you keep asking us to provide evidence, but you are accusing me without any evidence. You are committing a false accusation."
Yu Zihan looked around. Everyone's reaction was the same as Cui Dawei's. It seemed that this time, he could only deal with Cui Dawei. However, if the higher-ups took this matter seriously, robberies at the wholesale market would decrease. This would be a small gain, and their detention wouldn't have been in vain.
"Then, if I produce the evidence, will you confess your guilt on the spot?" Yu Zihan looked at Cui Dawei with a smile.
"You, what are you talking about." Although Cui Dawei didn't think Yu Zihan could produce any evidence, he still couldn't say anything asking him to confess on the spot. It was unlucky.
"Little girl, as long as you can produce sufficient evidence, I promise to make him confess on the spot." Yue Feng saw from Yu Zihan's confident expression that he was definitely not aimless. She was sure of it. So he pushed the matter forward.
Yu Zihan turned around to look at this dignified yet low-key leader, and seeing the kind smile he gave her, Yu Zihan instantly understood that this must be the old friend his father was talking about.
With Yue Feng's reassurance, Yu Zihan took out a Walkman from her trouser pocket.
Everyone saw this thing and instantly understood that Yu Zihan had come prepared. Cui Dawei felt a cold sweat trickle down his neck. Li Qiming cursed inwardly, "What a bunch of idiots! Why didn't they search them when they were detained?" Little did he know, even a body search wouldn't have yielded this thing. But he still sat there pretending to be calm.
The moment Luo Zhenhai and the director saw the Walkman, they felt a sense of relief. They knew that if Yu Zihan didn't have any evidence to prove her innocence, it would be very disadvantageous to them and it would be difficult to release her.
They were shrewd people, well aware that these people were being held against their will by Cui Dawei, but they had no evidence, which was a disadvantage. Now, they had a tape recorder, and they knew what was inside, and maybe even something even more explosive. They could now relax and watch the drama unfold.
"Then I'll release it. Reporters, please carefully determine if this recording has been edited. You're all professionals. I feel reassured to have you as witnesses. After all, every failure is a learning experience. I won't fall into the same trap twice." After Yu Zihan finished speaking, several reporters approached. They were honored by the trust she placed in them, and from what she said, they knew there was some explosive material here. They couldn't wait to hear it.
Yu Zihan didn't take Qiao. She first pressed the rewind button to rewind the tape to the beginning.
The play button was pressed with a click. Every click was like a knife stabbing Cui Dawei in the heart.
