Xia Chujian nodded to him and said politely, "Hello, Master Zong, what can I do for you?"
Zong Ruoan looked at her with a strange expression, as if he was both relieved and a little angry.
Zong Ruoan didn't say anything, but Hu Tu jumped into the video, waved to Xia Chujian, and said happily, "Xia classmate, you're amazing! With just one move, you dug up some dirty laundry that even our Zong family couldn't find!"
"Thank you so much! You've eliminated our biggest competitor! This time, our Young Master is truly secure!"
Xia Chujian smiled, neither admitting nor denying, and said, "You're too kind. I'm not that great."
Quan Yuxun listened to these ambiguous words and thought to himself that Xia Chujian was really good at Tai Chi.
It doesn't matter if what she said just now was recorded.
Because you can understand that she didn't do it because she "is not that powerful".
But it can also be understood that she did it, but it’s just not worth mentioning, “not as great as you say.”
Hu Tu also thought so, and he valued Xia Chujian even more. He smiled and said, "Anyway, you have helped us a lot!"
He wanted to nag more, but Zong Ruoan interrupted and said, "Mr. Hu, go find Lu Jianpeng and Fang Chengong. We will have a meeting later."
Hu Tu pushed his glasses up on his nose, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now."
Hu Tu glanced at Zong Ruoan, then bowed to Xia Chujian on the virtual display screen.
Xia Chujian also bowed to him. After he left the room, Zong Ruoan sighed and said, "Chujian, I know you did this for me, but why did you have to... get blood on your hands?"
"I said I wanted to defeat him fairly, but you... killed him..."
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched, and he said, "Master Zong, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
"First, there's no blood on my hands."
"Secondly, I didn't kill him. The video clearly shows that he committed suicide. Everyone on Starnet saw it."
"Don't put that hat on me carelessly, it will have a negative impact on me!"
Zong Ruoan said, "You didn't kill him, but he died because of you. Isn't that good?"
Xia Chujian thought, it was clearly him who died because of you, why are you putting the blame on me?
However, considering Zong Ruoan's ability to bear it, Xia Chujian still didn't say it so bluntly, but just said "hmm" twice: "If you want to say so, it's not impossible... Haha, if you count it this way, then there are many reasons that caused his death!"
"For example, Rong Zhongruo, if he hadn't conspired with him to murder someone, he wouldn't have retired and come to compete with you, and he wouldn't have met me to expose his trump card, right?"
Zong Ruoan understood and couldn't help but say, "So you mean, I'm also responsible for his death? But I told you a long time ago that you must not kill him. If you use such means, I will withdraw from the election!"
Xia Chujian could no longer tolerate Zong Ruoan's "moral cleanliness" and refused to indulge him. She said, "In that case, you should withdraw from the election."
"Honestly, if you're not willing to bear even this little consequence, then why elect a councillor?"
"What you encounter in the future will only be a thousand times more serious than this."
"Of course, you have a lot of people in your family, so you can let others do the dirty work and you sit back and reap the benefits. You are still a clean and honest person, a moral gentleman."
"I can't do that. My family is poor and we don't have any manpower. I have to fight for every meal with my own hands."
"If someone tries to take food from me, I will definitely fight them to the bitter end."
"Whether the posture looks good, whether it will cause misunderstanding, or even whether it will kill people, that's not within my consideration."
Zong Ruoan seemed to have not expected Xia Chujian to say such a thing.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Chu Jian, I believe you. Then tell me, everything in that video was said by Teng Pingmao himself. Was there no coercion, temptation, or the influence of drugs or mental power?"
Xia Chujian wondered, was pretending to be a ghost to scare Teng Pingmao coercion or temptation?
But she didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.
Xia Chujian said frankly: "I neither forced him, nor tempted him, nor did I give him medicine."
"As for mental strength, I'm not even a genetically evolved person, so where does it come from?"
Zong Ruoan pursed his lips: "...but he doesn't look like someone who would commit suicide for something like this."
Xia Chujian asked, "Do you know Teng Pingmao?"
"He is my biggest opponent in the election, and I have certainly studied him carefully," Zong Ruoan said.
Xia Chujian asked, "So, in your research, what kind of person is he?"
Zong Ruoan blurted out without hesitation: "He is a top student, has excellent character, and loves to help others. He is a leader wherever he goes."
