"How dare you! You even lied to me! Tell me, what was your purpose in fabricating these lies? Was it to harm my elder brother, or to drive a wedge between us?!"
Enraged, Xiao Shenxing kicked the man again. He only stopped after being stopped by several people, and then bowed deeply to Xiao Jinyan and the old man with a look of regret.
"I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry, old man. This was my oversight. I went to the Savage Village to investigate the truth of the matter, and this guy appeared out of nowhere. He told me he wanted to testify that it was you who harmed them. He also said that most of the other villagers had lost their ability to speak, and only he could come out to testify. I thought it was a serious matter, so I brought him back. Who knew he was a fake and had fooled us all. Although I was just worried and confused, I was the one who brought him here, so I also bear responsibility."
So, you were unaware of it?
The old man was somewhat suspicious. Although he favored Xiao Shenxing, he wasn't entirely blind to right and wrong. It's understandable; Xiao Shenxing had just spoken with such conviction, yet he immediately tried to distance himself. Anyone else would have been suspicious.
Xiao Shenxing vehemently denied it, saying, "Of course I didn't know. If I had known he was lying, I wouldn't have brought him here at all. It's my fault for not checking him carefully beforehand."
"Everyone... I... my appearance did deceive you, but everything I said is true. I'm just a righteous person who can't stand Xiao Jinyan's tyrannical behavior! Because the villagers of Savage Village can't speak up for themselves, I resorted to this desperate measure, this terrible solution. Who knew... Alas, I regret it, I hate my own powerlessness, for not being able to uphold justice for the villagers, for not being able to let the truly wicked people receive the punishment they deserve..."
Yi Yi: You spoke quite fluently; I wonder how many times you rehearsed it before.
"Shut up!" Before the man could finish speaking, Xiao Shenxing angrily interrupted him. "No matter what your purpose is, you shouldn't deceive the public like this!" He paused, then changed the subject. "However... while witness testimonies may not be credible, the evidence I've collected is all genuine. It not only has Xiao Jinyan's signature but also the seal of his company. This is enough to prove that these instruments and medicine materials were made by Xiao Jinyan. These drugs were also injected into the villagers of Savage Village through his hands, turning them into this inhuman, ghostly state."
Yiyi: "..."
She couldn't respond to that. She wasn't very familiar with company affairs, and besides, the evidence seemed plausible.
She looked at Xiao Jinyan with a helpless expression.
The latter raised his eyebrows, his face showing no sign of panic. He remained as calm and composed as ever.
This person doesn't realize the importance of being anxious until things get really urgent.
Forget it, even the emperor isn't worried, but she, the eunuch, is... ptooey, ptooey, what's the retired emperor worried about!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Jinyan finally stood up slowly, glanced at Yi Yi, and his indifferent gaze seemed to say, "Step down, leave the rest to this king."
Yiyi: "..."
"What if the evidence you provided is also false?"
