Chapter 158 Exposed
From beginning to end, she completely forgot to take Luo Jia's phone!
He can call for help!
They definitely have helpers!
What bad luck! Just who is going against her?
Don't let her know which guy ruined her plans, or she'll make him pay!
...
Some people sleep soundly through the night, while others toss and turn, unable to sleep at all.
The next morning, as soon as Lin Manxi returned to Sega, she was summoned to Lin Heicheng's office by her female secretary, who had a bad expression.
As soon as Lin Manxi entered the door, she was met with a barrage of insults from Lin Heping.
"You idiot! Idiot! Idiot!! How come all this pampering has resulted in such a brainless person like you!"
"Dad! Why are you yelling at me like that? Why are you taking your anger out on me for no reason!"
Lin Manxi was completely bewildered by the scolding. She didn't understand why Lin Hecheng was so angry when she was perfectly fine that morning.
"You still know I'm your father?!" Lin Heicheng roared angrily, pointing his finger at her nose. "What did you do yesterday?!"
"Do you realize that if this matter isn't handled properly, it won't just ruin you!"
Lin Heisheng's voice was loud, and some of the employees around him turned to look in their direction.
Lin Heicheng's anger hadn't subsided, and he pointed at her nose, continuing to yell, "Come on, tell me what was wrong with you last night!"
Lin Manxi was so embarrassed by the scolding that her face turned pale, but she still stubbornly raised her head and said with her neck stiff, "Dad, you can't say that to me."
"Can't I say that to you?" Lin Hecheng sneered. "The Song Group's charity gala invited a newcomer like you, which is already giving our family face!"
"And what have you done! You drugged someone's guest in their hotel!"
"Dad, what... what are you saying?" Lin Manxi stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Still not admitting it?" Lin Heisei trembled with rage. "Look! Take a good look!"
With a "bang," Lin Heicheng almost pushed and shoved the laptop on his boss's desk in front of Lin Manxi.
Lin Manxi quickly reached out and caught it, then glanced down at the content on the screen, her face instantly turning deathly pale.
She looked up in horror, stammering, "This...this isn't real...this is..."
"What excuses do you have now?" Lin Heicheng said angrily.
"You think you've kept it a secret, but that kid surnamed Luo knows everything! So, what do you say we do now?"
"What should I do... how should I know what to do?" Lin Manxi looked bewildered, but she was unwilling to admit that she had failed so miserably.
She frantically grabbed Lin Pingcheng's arm and shook it, saying, "Dad, please don't believe those rumors online! It's all Luo Jia's scheme! He's deliberately trying to frame me!"
"Ha!" Lin Heisei scoffed. "Do you think I'd believe you?"
"I……"
"You think your methods are clever, but they're full of loopholes! The hotel surveillance footage they've released is crystal clear, and the police have confirmed it's not a fabrication. It's only a matter of time before they catch that kid who ran away from the Jinjiang Inn."
As Lin Heisei spoke, he slammed his hand on the table, making a deafening sound.
"Tell me, over the years, how have you learned so many bad habits that you can even come up with such low-class tricks?"
"You did it, and you were caught red-handed with all the evidence! You really are my good daughter, Lin Heping!!"
Lin Manxi was so frightened that she quickly took a step back.
"Dad... I... what should I do..."
Lin Manxi's heart was pounding wildly as she looked at the screen full of comments cursing her; her heart was in her throat.
"What do you think?" Lin Heicheng stared intently at her, his face full of disappointment and anger.
“This matter has been exposed, and Luo Jia has reported it to the police. This is no longer just a matter of character; you know this is a crime? You will go to jail!”
Lin Manxi's body went limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
She really didn't expect things to turn out this way, and she didn't expect that she would be finished so easily.
She thought she had only fought one round with Luo Jia, but Luo Jia unexpectedly delivered a fatal blow right from the start.
Lin Heisei is right. It's no longer just a matter of her own reputation being tarnished; with such a scandal, what will become of the Lin family's reputation? And Sega will also be implicated…
Lin Manxi's beautiful face was ashen white, and she burst into tears in a mixture of anxiety and fear, her eyes filled with terror and helplessness.
When Lin Heping saw his beloved daughter in this state, he couldn't bear to scold her anymore.
So he sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, it's my fault for not keeping a close eye on you. There was nothing I could do this time. If you ever dare to go out and mess around without telling me beforehand again, no one will be there to clean up your mess!"
"Yes, Dad," Lin Manxi quickly agreed, then cautiously asked, "Dad, what should I do now... I don't want to go to jail, and I don't want to be blacklisted..."
Lin Heisei pondered for a moment, then picked up the landline on his desk and dialed a number.
"Hello, it's me."
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
"I have a problem right now and I need your help."
"Please give your instructions, Mr. Lin."
"My daughter, Manxi, has been quite unruly lately, causing me some trouble. You know about the scandal that happened at the Song Group's party today, right?"
"Okay, I understand," the man on the phone replied respectfully.
"I'd like to ask you to help me smooth things over. Once we discuss this, I'll give you a satisfactory reward."
"Hehe, no problem. I will do my best to handle it well and give President Lin an explanation as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Lin Heping hung up the phone and looked up to see his daughter looking at him with tears streaming down her face.
“Manxi.” He frowned slightly, a pang of heartache rising in his heart.
"Dad, you have to save me!" Lin Manxi cried, tears streaming down her face.
Lin Heping's heart softened immediately, and he grabbed Lin Manxi's arm: "Silly child, don't be afraid. Dad will help you sort this out."
Lin Manxi nodded and then asked, "So... what are you planning to do, Dad?"
Lin Heicheng sighed: "You were in the wrong in this matter, and it probably won't be easy to resolve. But don't worry, in this world, money can make the devil turn the millstone. Don't worry."
"But……"
"Alright, no buts." Lin Heping patted her shoulder. "Don't worry about this. Go home first. Don't go out for a while. This topic is still trending online."
