Chapter 100 Prejudice

"Mistake after mistake?" Lin Zhixian raised his eyebrows. "Master Lin, what you mean by this is that you have already determined that I cheated? Then I wonder what evidence Master Lin has that can prove that I cheated? Why not just show it to me and let me admit defeat with conviction?"

Chang Chunning was also furious when he saw this, and he stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lin Zhixian: "This matter has been reported to the police, and they are investigating. The police investigation results have not yet come out, but Master Lin has already come to a conclusion. It seems that Master Lin is indeed as good as his reputation, and is even more powerful than the police. In this case, please ask Master Lin to display the evidence."

Where is the evidence from Lin Deyu?

He has a lot of prejudice against Lin Zhixian.

Now, not only did Lin Zhixian not appreciate his kindness, but he also talked back to him in front of so many people, which made Lin Deyu even more unhappy.

There was some anger in his eyes: "Lin Zhixian, I advised you with good intentions, since you are unwilling to accept it, then wait for the results to come out."

Lin Zhixian said coldly: "Master Lin's kindness is really hard to be accepted."

Master Lin was furious: "You don't know what's good for you."

"If I refuse to listen to Master Lin and admit to the unfounded crime, I am ungrateful. Then I am indeed ungrateful." Lin Zhixian snorted coldly: "So I still say the same thing. If you want me to plead guilty, Master Lin, please put out the evidence."

"I only accept evidence, not any speculation." Lin Zhixian threw the ground with a loud sound.

"I, Chang Chunning, feel the same way." Chang Chunning stood beside Lin Zhixian.

Lin Deyu was so embarrassed by the two young men that he said, "Okay, when the evidence is found, I'll see if you can still be so stubborn as you are now."

Lin Deyu left angrily.

Tang Yina, Taoist Long Zaishui and Qingfeng looked at each other and were speechless about Lin Deyu.

Tang Yina looked at Lin Zhixian and said, "Don't be nervous, the two of you. If the investigation results show that you have nothing to do with them, the organizers will definitely clarify the matter for you."

Of course, if they did cheat as the rumors say, they would not be forgiven.

However, Tang Yina didn't believe that Chang Chunning and Lin Zhixian cheated.

After all, the three of them had seen the performance of the two candidates in the audition.

To be honest, she still doesn't understand what Lin Deyu is doing.

No matter what, Lin Zhixian is his daughter. Is it right for a father to put the blame on his own daughter?

It’s the same old saying, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.

But the way this was done was too despicable.

The police investigation was quite quick. By the evening, when the first round of competition ended, the results of the police investigation were out.

Chang Chunning and Lin Zhixian did not engage in any illegal operations.

In other words, they did not bribe any staff of the organizers, the topic of the competition was not leaked, and they achieved full marks based on their own strength.

The people who spread rumors that Chang Chunning and Lin Zhixian cheated were also caught.

She is a beautiful girl named Zhu Yingying.

The police also took Zhu Yingying to the back hall.

"I'm sorry." Zhu Yingying knew she was in trouble when she was arrested, so she didn't feel lucky at all. She came to the back hall and apologized to Chang Chunning and Lin Zhixian straightforwardly: "I know I was wrong, I didn't mean it, please forgive me."

The pretty girl looked pitiful.

However, Lin Zhixian would not be fooled so easily. She asked, "You are not a fortune teller at all. Why do you spread these rumors to hurt us?"

Zhu Yingying said with red eyes: "I didn't mean to hurt you. I just said it casually because I saw that you were pretty, but I didn't expect it would cause such a big impact. It's all my fault. Please forgive me for this unintentional mistake."

"So, you can blame me for giving birth to a beautiful girl, which aroused your jealousy?" Lin Zhixian smiled faintly.

"I will never dare to do it again." Zhu Yingying said pitifully.

"Okay, since you have admitted your crime, then make a public apology." Lin Zhixian would not sympathize with her just because she was a girl, and she was 100% sure that the mastermind was not Zhu Yingying, and there must be someone behind her. As for whether it was Lin Zhiya, she could not guarantee it.

But it doesn't matter. Now that the police have caught her, she can't just turn the tables: "In addition to posting your apology letter on the bulletin board, you must also publish an apology on the front page of Hong Kong's largest daily newspaper."

Zhu Yingying's face changed when she heard this: "No need to put it in the newspaper, right?"

Lin Zhixian said calmly, "If you don't agree, we will hire a lawyer to sue you for defamation. You will still have to apologize in the newspaper and compensate us for our lost wages and mental damages. It's up to you to decide whether to accept our request directly or go to court and wait for the judge to make the decision."

Zhu Yingying looked at Chang Chunning pleadingly, and Chang Chunning said, "Junior Sister Lin's meaning is my meaning."

Zhu Yingying's face turned pale and she subconsciously looked towards the door, where Lin Zhiya was hiding.

The one who spread the rumors was Lin Zhiya. She came forward to help in order to please Lin Zhiya, and now she is taking the blame for her in order to make friends with Lin Zhiya.

But neither of Lin Zhixian's two choices was a good thing for her.

The first choice would ruin her reputation, the second choice would not only ruin her reputation but also suffer financial losses.

If there weren't enough benefits, she didn't want to take the blame for Lin Zhiya.

Zhu Yingying bit her lip and said, "I'll think about it."

Lin Zhixian said calmly: "You can consider it, but I can't promise that I won't change my mind when the time comes."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yingying's face changed.

"It means exactly what it says." Lin Zhixian said.

Zhu Yingying was angry: "How could you do this?"

"Why can't I?" Lin Zhixian sneered: "You are the one who did something wrong. Even if you are unwilling to accept our private mediation today, it will not affect our pursuit of justice through legal means."

"There is one more thing, Ms. Zhu. I have to say something unpleasant. You kept saying that you knew you were wrong, but I just asked you to apologize publicly and save my reputation, but you kept making excuses. It seems that you are not sincere. It seems that your apology just now was not from the heart." Lin Zhixian smiled and said, "In this case, why don't we take legal action to resolve it."

"Sir, please help us file a case." Lin Zhixian said to the inspector in charge of the case.

The inspector nodded: "Since you can't solve it privately, I will help you open a case."

Now not only Zhu Yingying's face looked even uglier, but even Lin Zhiya's face looked even uglier.

"Yingying." Lin Zhiya couldn't let the matter get any worse, so she had to step out: "So you were the one who spread the rumor? How could you do such a thing? Fortunately, there are no serious consequences now, so don't bother yourself with it. You should pay the compensation and apologize if you want."
