Li Jianhua, enraged and embarrassed, shouted, "Listen to yourself!"
He pressed the recorder hard, but there was no sound at all.
Li Jianhua panicked and pressed the button twice more, but there was still no response. He broke out in a cold sweat.
"How could this happen? It was perfectly fine when I was at home!"
Ye Boyun's eyes flickered, and he was overjoyed.
He was indeed a useless piece of trash; now he could rest assured.
"Li Jianhua, you are slandering me with baseless accusations. I, Ye Boyun, have lived an upright and honest life, and I will never be slandered by you for nothing!"
"While the police officer is still here, I demand that he be taken away with me. He must clear my name!"
The surrounding guests started talking amongst themselves again.
"It turns out this old man was talking nonsense. It's really despicable to make up such a lie."
“I knew it was impossible! As the head of the Ye family, with such a high status, what kind of woman wouldn’t he have? He would never go so far as to force a married woman.”
"That's right. I think that old man was trying to extort money from Mr. Ye, so he simply tried to smear him."
Everyone looked at Li Jianhua with disdain and accusation.
Li Jianhua was speechless and could only glare wide-eyed and roar, "I didn't!"
A hint of smugness flickered across Ye Boyun's lips, but having navigated the business world for many years, he knew all too well how to hide his emotions.
Just then, Xu Qingyun stepped forward gracefully, reached out her hand to Li Jianhua, and said in a cold voice, "Give it to me."
Li Jianhua impatiently handed her the items.
Taking advantage of this moment, Xu Jia ran up to Ye Boyun, looking like she was determined to support him. "Grandpa Ye, what is Xu Qingyun trying to do? Does she really think a recording pen from decades ago still works?"
Ye Boyun scoffed inwardly. This voice recorder was older than Xu Qingyun; how could it possibly still be working properly?!
However, to everyone's surprise, when Xu Qingyun pressed it gently, after a series of crackling sounds, Ye Boyun's voice actually came out.
"Li Jianhua, what are you doing here? I've already given you the money, don't push your luck!"
Li Jianhua laughed shamelessly, "That little bit of money isn't enough! Ye Boyun, you raped my wife, and she gave birth to your daughter. You can't just give birth for nothing; you still have to give me another ten million!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Boyun's face suddenly contorted with shock, his eyes filled with horror!
He never dreamed that the thing could still be used!
What he didn't expect was that Li Jianhua, a lowly migrant worker, would actually think of recording the conversation!
He didn't remember what he had said to Li Jianhua back then, but his instincts told him that he absolutely could not let these people hear it, otherwise the prestige he had built up over his entire life would be gone!
Ye Boyun immediately roared, "Someone, turn it off!"
The servants and bodyguards were about to step forward, but Shen Luo's people were not to be trifled with!
Ji Hanchen gave a cold laugh, "Anyone who dares to come over will die here!"
Ye Boyun was furious and tried to rush forward, but was pushed away!
The recording continues playing.
"Li Jianhua, you're delusional! You're just a migrant worker, yet you think you can blackmail me time and time again?!"
"Ye Boyun, have you thought this through? You are the head of the most powerful family in Nancheng, worth hundreds of billions. Is it worth it to anger me for a mere ten million?"
“Mr. Ye, I only want ten million. I promise I won’t use this to threaten you again this time.”
"Fine! Li Jianhua! You better keep your word! You need to understand, killing you is easier for me than stepping on an ant!"
"Don't worry, once I get this ten million, I will never come looking for you again!"
"good!"
That's all for the recording. There's more to it, but because of the crackling sound, it's impossible to hear anything clearly.
The voice recorder wasn't very loud, much quieter than a speaker, but since the surroundings were completely silent, and many people were even holding their breath, it was still easy to hear clearly.
For a moment, everyone looked at Ye Boyun, but no one dared to speak up and support him as easily as before.
Ye Boyun's face was extremely ugly, but he had seen a lot and was not going to be defeated by a mere recording.
Putting aside the fact that there is only sound and no picture, and that the sound is very different from his current voice, even if it were real, so what?
The woman died in childbirth back then, and there's no way to verify the truth. What does he have to fear?!
With this thought, Ye Boyun's fear completely dissipated.
He put his hands behind his back and gave a cold laugh. "You think you can slander me with just a recording? The person in that recording isn't me."
"Pah! You think you can argue with that?" Li Jianhua said angrily.
Ye Boyun shouted angrily, "Shut up! Li Jianhua, I'm letting you off the hook this time because of your advanced age. Now get out of here!"
Li Jianhua suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahahaha! Let me go? Ye Boyun, who's really letting whom go?! You think I only have this one recording? You're wrong!"
"Look closely, what is this?!"
Li Jianhua suddenly pulled out a brown paper envelope.
Ye Boyun's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...?
impossible!
Li Jianhua handed the envelope to Xu Qingyun.
Xu Qingyun opened it, and a meaningful smile appeared on her cool and beautiful face.
Then, she slowly began to speak, "I, Ye Boyun, hereby solemnly apologize to Ms. Wang Xia. I shouldn't have acted impulsively and forced myself on her against her will. I am willing to offer 100,000 yuan as compensation."
After a pause, Xu Qingyun looked at Ye Boyun and said, "Mr. Ye, this is your autograph and your fingerprint. What else do you have to say?!"
boom!
Ye Boyun was thunderstruck. He never imagined that the woman from back then would still have this, and that Li Jianhua would have gotten his hands on it!
It’s over!
Now he really can't clear his name no matter what!
Immediately, the surrounding area erupted in discussion again.
"I can't believe it's true!"
"He acted as if he had nothing to hide, and I thought he was honest and upright, but it turns out he was just being presumptuous and thinking he had no evidence."
"The Ye family is finished this time. With such a huge and shocking scandal breaking out one after another, who knows how low the Ye family's stock will plummet!"
Ye Boyun's face was deathly pale, his lips trembling. "Xu Qingyun, is this the result you wanted! You've ruined me, ruined the Ye family, what have you gained?!"
"Your mother suffered so much injustice and still chose to leave, why can't you learn from her magnanimity?!"
"Shut up!" Xu Qingyun suddenly shouted, her eyes almost spitting fire. "My mother is magnanimous, but what did she get in return?! The Ye family's ruthlessness!"
"Let me tell you, I don't care about the Ye family, so it doesn't matter if we destroy it!"
After saying that, Xu Qingyun turned and walked out.
Today's objective has been achieved; the rest is none of her concern.
Whether Li Jianhua makes a scene or Ye Boyun wants to kill Li Jianhua to silence him, it has nothing to do with her!
Neither of them are good people; it's best if they both suffer losses!
Xu Qingyun took two steps, but suddenly stopped. "Oh, right, there's something else very important!"
