Chapter 211 Winning a Brilliant Battle
Chang Long wanted to order the staff to turn off the big screen immediately, but the content had already been displayed, causing a huge uproar among the crowd.
All that could be heard on the screen was a heart-wrenching plea for mercy from Ai Bao'er, who was begging for her life.
Chang Long walked out in disbelief and saw a video playing showing Ai Bao'er being dragged to the rooftop.
"No... these are all fake, Han Xi just wanted to slander me."
Han Xi reminded him, "Chang Long, open your dog eyes and look carefully. This was taken with a camera, and the date and time on it cannot be changed. It's the date Ai Bao'er jumped off the building the day before yesterday—no, the date you killed her."
When Chang Long saw his own reflection in the image, he panicked completely and roared furiously at the lobby.
"Quickly! Turn the screen off right now, right now!"
He initially thought that Kwan Chi-hung had only captured the scene on the rooftop, but little did he know that he had filmed the entire process. Seeing the angry fans outside, he knew that his chances of winning were over.
Han Xi said, "It's no use if you tell them to shut it down. I've already posted it online and handed it over to the police station."
"How could this happen? You're going to completely destroy me."
"That's a joke. How could I ruin you? I just want to kill you before you can mess with me."
Chang Long took two steps back and leaned against the wall, hearing the angry shouts outside, which were a hundred times more intense than his previous resentment towards Han Shu.
When the fans saw the truth, they realized that they had been deceived by Xingtong Company from the beginning and used to attack Hanshu Group. Naturally, they hated the culprit to the core.
Soon the siren blared, drowning out the deafening shouts of abuse.
A group of police officers walked in with an arrest warrant and handcuffed Chang Long.
“Mr. Chang, we have received a report that you murdered an artist. Someone has already turned themselves in and submitted all your criminal records, including evidence of your crimes over the past ten years. We are now arresting you.”
Chang Long asked incredulously, "Confess? Who will confess?"
The lead officer replied, "Your assistant, Guan Ming, has dozens of charges against you. Just wait to be punished."
Chang Long froze. The person he thought would never betray him in his life actually had so much evidence against him.
He clearly said yesterday that he would rather die for him, so why did he betray him in the blink of an eye?
He didn't believe it; someone must have plotted against Guan Ming. He was confident he could make this fool change his mind.
The police officers took Chang Long away, and he turned to look at Han Xi, gritting his teeth and threatening her.
"You designed all of this, and I won't let you get away with it."
He never expected that after more than 20 years in this industry, believing he had everyone under his thumb, he would stumble at the hands of these young people.
Han Xi smiled faintly and said, "It's a pity you don't have that chance, after all, the crime you committed is punishable by death."
Chang Long shook his head. He wouldn't die; he would find a way to escape.
Before being taken to the car, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "How exactly did you persuade Guan Ming? What despicable methods did you use?"
Han Xi replied, "We didn't do anything. It's all thanks to you for crossing his bottom line. The four assassins you bribed have been caught. He was just being grateful to us for protecting his older brother."
So that's how it is. Changlong's only regret was keeping Guan Zhihong around for too long.
Eliminating this person early will prevent future troubles.
"I will definitely get out..."
Chang Long was still defiant as he was put into the car, his gaze towards Han Xi filled with murderous intent; if he were to die, he would take Han Xi down with him.
Han Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him being taken away. The fans at the door expressed their apologies, and soon people on the internet also posted comments praising Han Shu Group.
The more hateful these people were before, the deeper their guilt is now.
When Han Xi returned to her office and saw the stock market soaring, and received news that stores were packed with customers and many products were sold out, all her worries finally disappeared.
Although this incident was quite dramatic, the final outcome was positive.
Thump thump thump—
A knock sounded at the door. Han Xi looked up and saw Shen Jiheng walking in carrying a bouquet of flowers.
"Han Xi, congratulations on your victory."
Han Xi greeted him with a smile. This time, the victory was all thanks to Shen Jiheng's help.
She accepted the flowers gratefully and said, "I really owe you a lot this time. But there's one thing I don't understand. I didn't see Chang Long on the screen in the USB drive you gave me that day. I was quite surprised when it was shown on the big screen today."
Han Xi had seen the USB drive when Shen Jiheng gave it to her last time; it only showed Guan Ming pushing someone down, and there was no one else on it.
If they had obtained this document earlier, they wouldn't have needed to think of any other methods; they could have simply handed it over to the police to arrest Chang Long.
Shen Jiheng said, "I didn't actually expect there to be another one. This was given to me by Guan Ming."
These words surprised Han Xi even more. He never expected that the person who was loyal to Chang Long and willing to die for him could betray him so thoroughly.
"That's strange. There are no security cameras on the roof, so who's filming?"
"Guan Ming said that his older brother gave him a newly developed camera to test. He was also taking pictures on the roof at the time. He received an emergency order and left it at the top door. He happened to be filming Chang Long dragging Ai Bao'er to the roof."
Han Xi shook his head; this was reaping what they sowed.
"It seems that even God is helping us. If we had only relied on Guan Ming's testimony, this matter would have been delayed for a while. Now, he has been convicted directly."
Shen Jiheng nodded and smiled, "He was too ruthless and really angered Guan Ming. He is a stubborn person. Yesterday, when he learned that Chang Long had arranged for someone to kill his elder brother, he was so angry that he handed the camera to me."
Han Xi felt lucky that God was on the side of justice, allowing the wicked to be brought to justice.
Han Xi took a deep breath and said, "The matter has finally come to an end. The new product has also benefited from this commotion, and its future sales are definitely not a problem."
Seeing the relieved smile finally appear on her face, Shen Jiheng leaned forward and asked, "Now that everything is resolved, do you still feel about what you promised me before?"
Han Xi was in a good mood and nodded with a smile.
"Of course I remember."
She also believed that Shen Jiheng would not do anything excessive to him.
"I want you to take a day off and go on a date with me."
"A date? What do I need to do?"
Her cautious manner amused Shen Jiheng.
"Don't be nervous. I'm not going to eat you. Just like a normal couple, we can eat, watch movies, go shopping, and spend the day with me."
Han Xi was somewhat skeptical; could it really be that simple?
"Can't you do anything else?"
Shen Jiheng leaned closer, and Han Xi panicked and backed away, but he grabbed her arms. His affectionate eyes were fixed on her, making Han Xi's heart flutter.
Shen Jiheng's magnetic voice rang in her ear, "What other things are you referring to? Of course, holding hands and kissing are included."
His seductive tone made Han Xi's heart race, as if it were about to leap out of her chest. She hurriedly pulled her hand away and stepped back, turning away to hide the unease on her face.
