Zeng Han thought Ruan Chen was about to pull out some big move, but when she heard what Ruan Chen said, she felt relieved.
"What a joke! What on your phone would I possibly steal?"
In an effort to regain her fan base, Du Lengxi didn't rush to end the broadcast but continued to stream the rest of the scene.
Zeng Han then turned her attention to Xu Xiaolan, "And you, what right do you have to conclude that I destroyed Ruan Chen's equipment?"
Xu Xiaolan offered no explanation, but simply proceeded to collect evidence—fragments of Zeng Han's skin.
Ruan Chen's equipment has been modified; if someone tries to forcibly disassemble it to obtain data, the motherboard will automatically burn out.
Xu Xiaolan had just noticed that Zeng Han's index fingers had signs of corrosion and burning. She was ruthless; she actually covered it up with foundation.
Xu Xiaolan put the collected evidence into the evidence bag and tried to leave without saying a word. Zeng Han became anxious as soon as she saw this, and reached out to grab Xu Xiaolan's toolbox, shouting, "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to come to No. 1 Middle School? Leave your things here, or I'll call the police!"
The trend in the live stream was increasingly beyond Du Lengxi's expectations.
The audience isn't blind.
Zeng Han's actions show a guilty conscience.
Xu Xiaolan pushed up her black-rimmed glasses, took out her work ID, and said in a cold voice, "I'm from the Municipal Bureau's Technical Section. I haven't concluded that you destroyed Ruan Chen's things. I will take the evidence I collected and conduct further analysis with professional equipment—the DNA of every Chinese citizen is archived in the database. You will soon have a conclusion."
The moment Zeng Han saw the work ID, all the color drained from her face.
Ruan Chen didn't call the police directly, but what's the difference between that and calling the police?
Zeng Han knew that if the DNA was checked, she would be finished, so she wanted to muddy the waters before that happened!
Zeng Han dropped what she thought was her trump card, rushing in front of the live stream camera, pushing aside Du Lengxi who was sweetly greeting new fans, and turning the camera to Ruan Chen, "Look, she's the one who slandered me for breaking his things! She's a despicable homewrecker who destroys other people's families, do you really want to believe someone like that?!"
Her words immediately caused an uproar in the live stream.
The keywords "major civil dispute," "teacher-student conflict," and "No. 1 Middle School" were already enough to generate buzz. Although Du Lengxi initially lost tens of thousands of followers, as the situation developed, more and more people flocked to the live stream, creating an unprecedentedly lively atmosphere.
[It really is her! Isn't this the woman in the viral "voyeurism scandal" that's been trending online today? No wonder she managed to hook up with a rich guy; her face is truly something special.]
[I'm starting to believe what the teacher said. This kind of girl is a gold digger. She probably didn't get enough money from her dad and is trying to blackmail her teacher. She's really despicable.]
No wonder a high school student can afford such expensive electronic devices; he must have gotten them from his sugar daddy.
Ruan Chen frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in her eyes. She forcefully turned the camera away and said in a cold voice, "Zeng Han, are you really planning to spend the rest of your life in jail?"
Many of the students who stayed in the classroom also found Du Lengxi's live stream room—the one with the highest popularity across the entire platform.
They certainly saw the photos that were circulating widely online.
The woman in the photo is Ruan Chen.
Zeng Han arrogantly raised her head and questioned Ruan Chen through the camera, "Why are you touching the camera? What are you feeling guilty about? Then explain yourself, what is your relationship with this man? As far as I know, you're not father and daughter, are you?"
Bo Nian had somehow ended up standing next to Ruan Chen, nervously watching the millions of viewers in the live stream. "Ruan Chen, you need to explain this. So many people are watching."
The Bo family is considered a rising power in Jingzhou. Bo Nian is also familiar with the distribution of power in Jingzhou and the major families. He immediately recognized the male protagonist in the hidden camera incident as the head of the Fu family, whom his father had always wanted to befriend.
His father spoke highly of Fu Lin, and Bo Nian knew that Fu Lin was not the kind of person who would do something so outrageous.
Ruan Chen's voice was full of disdain, "Why should I, a victim, have to explain something like this? The law stipulates that whoever raises a question must provide evidence. Whoever created the rumor, whoever took this photo that deliberately uses angles to confuse the public, should go to the police station and explain it clearly. Don't try to extort me here."
That makes sense. If it's truly a fabrication, why should the victim, whose reputation has been damaged, have to go through the trouble of refuting it?
If this is truly a rumor, I support Ruan Chen in this matter; the person who took the photos should go to the police station to explain.
[It's been a long time since I've heard such a morally sound statement. Sister, you're right!]
Zeng Han tried to cut off the microphone, but Du Lengxi stopped her.
"Xiaoxi, what are you doing! Can't you see that things are going wrong?"
Du Lengxi stared intently at the influx of traffic into the live stream and her rapidly increasing number of followers, her heart pounding with excitement, almost bursting out of her chest!
The earnings from tonight's live stream are equivalent to what I would earn from six months of hard work streaming!
Given the current level of popularity, if I were to abruptly end the live stream, it would definitely cause a lot of fans to become dissatisfied and unfollow me, and this account might never recover!
Ruan Chen leaned against the side of the table where the microphone was placed and continued, "Zeng Han, you should know that my surname is Ruan. Everyone knows the strength of the Ruan family. I really don't care about a few hundred thousand. I have no reason to do such a disgusting thing for money as you think."
“I’ve found the evidence of your secret filming, and I’ll also file a case with the police regarding the damage to my equipment tonight,” Ruan Chen suddenly looked at Du Lengxi, her expression instantly changing, and smiled, “Sister Xiaoxi, you’ll be following up on the case, right?”
Du Lengxi watched the frenzied chat in the live stream, gritted her teeth, and, despite Zeng Han's murderous glare, sat in front of the camera, smiling sweetly and nodding, "Of course, friends in the live stream, please click the follow button in the upper right corner so you don't get lost, and follow the progress with Xiaoxi."
[The streamer must keep their word and let me see the follow-up.]
[Leave this comment as proof; if I don't see any follow-up, I'll be a hater for life.]
Du Lengxi breathed a sigh of relief, left the live stream without even glancing at Zeng Han, and told the photographer and lighting technician to pack up and leave.
Ruan Chen has already wasted too much time, and now she has to buy a new computer and tablet. She probably won't get much sleep tonight, and she's in a very bad mood.
She was just not used to showing her emotions on her face, and left the classroom with Yu Xiaoya.
As she stepped out of the school gate, Ye Huanhuan was actually waiting there. Seeing her come out, she waved anxiously, "Ruan Chen!"
"mom."
“The family already knows about this. Do we need the Ye family to intervene? Your uncle’s firm can take this case,” Ye Huanhuan said with a worried look. “Why didn’t you tell the family about the grievances you suffered at No. 1 Middle School? I only found out about what happened in the past month after asking the other kids in your class today.”
"Not for now, Mom. Don't worry, I'll let you know if I need to."
