Chapter 723: Chapter 723 - The Truth Is Revealed

Earlier this morning—

Su Jian’an took Lu Boyan’s car to the hospital, and on the way, she browsed the news and posts of Xiao Yunyun’s red packet incident.

Most of the media knew Xiao Yunyun’s identity and reported it in an upright and honest manner. At the end of the report, they would also inform the netizens that they would follow up on the report before the truth was revealed.

On the other hand, on a few popular forums, there were several posts that were more likely to fan the flames.

Those posts published by different IDs were all about the criticisms of Xiao Yunyun. They slandered her unscrupulously in a reasonable tone. Xiao Yunyun had been thoroughly refuted on these forums.

Intuition told Su Jian’an that something was wrong.

She handed the tablet to Lu Boyan and said, “Ask someone to check it out. I suspect that Lin Zhixia has hired the online supporters.”

When they arrived at the company, Lu Boyan asked the Public Relations Department to check into it. As Su Jian’an expected, Lin Zhixia and the Zhong family had spent a lot of money to hire a group of people to specially slander Xiao Yunyun in the new posts and reply to the existing posts.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lu Enterprises smothered the voices of those online supporters, so as to make the normal posts surface. Thus, Xiao Yunyun’s car accident was exposed, and Lin Zhixia could no longer stay out of the incident and was said in posts to have received Ms. Lin’s red packet from Xiao Yunyun.

In this way, Lin Zhixia was inevitably involved.

What was ingenious was that no one mentioned that Lin Zhixia was Shen Yuechuan’s girlfriend. It was only mentioned that she shared the title of “the top beauty in the Eighth Hospital” with Xiao Yunyun and that when Lin Zhixia joined the hospital, the staff of the hospital had looked forward to the contest between her and Xiao Yunyun.

In addition, Xiao Yunyun had once said that Lin Zhixia had taken away Ms. Lin’s red packet from her, which inevitably made people’s imagination run wild.

The online supporters had previously pretended to reveal Xiao Yunyun’s information. However, only when they were suppressed was Xiao Yunyun’s real information dug up.

She had grown up in a rich family in Australia and had achieved excellent grades since her childhood. Therefore, she had been selected as an exchange student to study in the Department of Medicine of University A.

After the exchange study, Xiao Yunyun had applied for an internship in the country. Like other poor medical interns, she also learned about the most basic knowledge from the clinical teacher. The patients and her colleagues had a good evaluation of her, and the clinical teacher focused on her training.

In this case, it seemed that Xiao Yunyun had no reason to take away the family’s red packet.

The strange thing was that Lin Zhixia also seemed to be fine.

According to the information revealed by netizens, Lin Zhixia was well-behaved, intelligent, and had dated several rich men. Even if she had broken up with them, no one said anything bad about her. Her colleagues and friends also had a good evaluation of her.

So, was it Xiao Yunyun or Lin Zhixia who took the money? Why did such a big thing happen?

The netizens who were paying attention to this matter were all very curious about its cause and effect. After the news of Xiao Yunyun’s car accident came out, this matter had become the hot hashtag, and a group of netizens chose to support one or the other in their comments.

Near noon, someone suddenly reported that Lin Zhixia was a friend of Ms. Lin, who had sent the red packet. Another suspicious thing was that Lin Zhixia’s cousin was the lobby manager of that bank branch where Xiao Yunyun was said on video to have deposited the sum of money.

More and more people were standing on Xiao Yunyun’s side as Lin Zhixia seemed to be more and more suspicious.

In the end, Lu Enterprises’ Public Relations Department announced in the name of Lu Enterprises that Lin Zhixia and the Zhong family had joined forces to hire the online supporters, which was the last straw to knock Lin Zhixia down.

When it came to the Zhong family, it was easy for the netizens to remember what had happened some time ago—Zhong Lue cooperated with criminals in an attempt to kidnap and threaten a girl, but in the end, he failed. Not only did he fail to kidnap that girl, but he was also exposed by those criminals. Finally, he was put in jail.

The netizens had already thought of something. The major websites were flooded with the posts. Finally, it was confirmed by Lu Enterprises’ Public Relations Department that the person who had almost been kidnapped by Zhong Lue was indeed Xiao Yunyun.

The truth appeared to have popped up, and there was an uproar on the Internet.

Everyone was guessing whether Lin Zhixia and the Zhong family had teamed up to frame Xiao Yunyun.

If so, why was there the video of Xiao Yunyun’s deposit? Could Ms. Lin, who had stirred up this matter, stand up and say something?

When the netizens were in high spirits, Lu Enterprises’ Public Relations Department issued a statement.

It was stated that Xiao Yunyun had dreamed of being a doctor since she was a child. She did not need to destroy her own future for just 8,000 yuan. Lu Enterprises would ask the engineers to openly identify the credibility of the surveillance video of that bank.

In addition, Lu Enterprises would send someone to contact Ms. Lin and persuade her to be interviewed by the media to talk about her relationship with Lin Zhixia and how the red packet incident started.

So far, the truth of the matter had already surfaced, but according to Lu Enterprises’ usual style, it had to make the truth be thoroughly and doubtlessly revealed.

The netizens said that there would be a big scene next, and they had already cut the watermelons.

There was also a heated discussion in the Eighth Hospital. From morning to noon, Lin Zhixia’s face was getting paler and paler.

Since the Zhong family could not protect themselves, Mr. Zhong did not care about her at all. Now, she could only plead with Shen Yuechuan.

Lin Zhixia took a half day’s leave from the director and went straight to Lu Enterprises.

Xiao Yunyun had been to Lu Enterprises several times, and the receptionist had a good impression of her. Under such a circumstance, the receptionist naturally had no good impression of Lin Zhixia.

As soon as Lin Zhixia entered Lu Enterprises, she asked to meet Shen Yuechuan. The receptionist said coldly, “You can ask Special Assistant Shen yourself. We can’t decide whether you can meet Special Assistant Shen or not.”

Lin Zhixia was not stupid. She knew that she had made the wrong bet. Her doomsday was approaching.

In such a life-and-death struggle, etiquette and elegance were not so important to her anymore.

“I need you to help me contact Yuechuan!” Lin Zhixia smacked the front desk and asked, “Do you understand me?”

Regarding the receptionist, she had been guarding Lu Enterprises for so many years, and she had experienced all kinds of scenes.

The receptionist was not frightened at all. “Miss, it’s useless for you to yell at me. Or, it’s useless for you to find Special Assistant Shen.”

“What?” Lin Zhixia hysterically asked, “What do you mean?”

The receptionist said meaningfully, “You should ask yourself this question, instead of me. Do you think Special Assistant Shen will help you?”

Lin Zhixia’s face turned pale in an instant.

She didn’t care about whether Shen Yuechuan would help her or not, but he had to help her!

The truth of the red packet incident was about to be revealed. The netizens had begun to stand on Xiao Yunyun’s side, and the staff inside the hospital also began to distance themselves from her...

If Lu Enterprises did not pull back from the incident now, but was going to identify the credibility of the video and interview Ms. Lin according to the plan, she would definitely lose her reputation and her life would be ruined.

She had been unable to get Shen Yuechuan anymore. She could not allow things to develop like this!

She was Lin Zhixia, who was a perfect and beautiful woman in everyone’s eyes. How could she be despised?

Lin Zhixia threw a vase from the front desk onto the ground and roared, “I want to see Shen Yuechuan!”

The receptionist looked at her with eyes wide and shouted, “Guards!”

As soon as the guards took Lin Zhixia out, Shen Yuechuan’s car stopped in front of the company building.

Lin Zhixia rushed to him as if she had seen her life-saving straw. “Yuechuan, help me.”

Shen Yuechuan suddenly remembered that Xiao Yunyun had also begged him like this.

He did not promise Xiao Yunyun, and he would not promise Lin Zhixia either.

“I have given you a chance,” Shen Yuechuan said. “If you had confessed everything you had done to the public yesterday, it would not have happened today.”

“What do you mean?” Lin Zhixia looked at Shen Yuechuan in disbelief. “You won’t help me, will you?”

“...”

Shen Yuechuan did not speak, but at this moment, his silence was a tacit admission.

The despair in Lin Zhixia’s eyes completely broke out. She shouted unwillingly, “Why didn’t anyone mention that I am your girlfriend? What are you afraid of?”

Shen Yuechuan narrowed his eyes and asked, “No one mentioned it because you are not my girlfriend at all. Don’t forget that it is your choice.”

Back in the restaurant, he had given Lin Zhixia two choices.

He would give her a sum of money as compensation, and they would break up.

Or, they would cooperate, and after everything was over, Lin Zhixia would get a better reward. However, they would be just nominal boyfriend and girlfriend during that period. It was just a cooperation. They would not interfere with each other and were not responsible for each other.

Lin Zhixia chose the latter. She had thought that as long as she stayed with Shen Yuechuan, she could capture his heart with her charm and strength.

It turned out that she had made the wrong bet. Not only did she fail to get Shen Yuechuan, but she was also about to be ruined.

The worst thing was that the only person who could help her was not willing to do so.

“Yuechuan, you can’t do this.” Lin Zhixia grabbed Shen Yuechuan’s hand. “I helped you, so you can’t just stand by and watch me die.”

“You were not helping me,” Shen Yuechuan said coldly, “and we just take what we need.”

Lin Zhixia seemed to have been struck in her fatal weakness, and her beautiful eyes gradually became dim and dark.

However, she couldn’t despair. She couldn’t just give up like that.

Since she knew her advantage in appearance, she was determined to make use of the advantage that ordinary people did not have.

She insisted that this advantage could quickly help her live the life she wanted.

But now, she was going to be destroyed because she tried to make use of this advantage.

Would she give up just like that?

No, no, she still had the last glimmer of hope!

“You didn’t mention that I am your girlfriend because you’re afraid that it would involve Xiao Yunyun’s feelings for you.” Lin Zhixia laughed and said, “Shen Yuechuan, remember that if I’m going to be destroyed like this, I will never let Xiao Yunyun go easily. I...”

“Lin Zhixia!” Shen Yuechuan suddenly interrupted her, and every word he said was covered with hard ice. “I have warned you to not act rashly, and to not try and hurt Yunyun.”

His reaction showed that he was nervous about Xiao Yunyun.

Lin Zhixia laughed, and there was a cold determination in the bottom of her eyes. “I’ll never forget your warning. But, if you destroy me like this, what could I be afraid of? It is not a glorious thing for Xiao Yunyun to fall in love with her brother. Once I’m ruined, she will also be involved in scandals! Shen Yuechuan, make your choice!”

Shen Yuechuan stared at Lin Zhixia for a moment and laughed. “Of course you won’t be afraid. But do you think I will give you a second chance?”

He made a mistake and gave Lin Zhixia an opportunity to hurt Xiao Yunyun, so that Xiao Yunyun’s right hand might not be able to hold a scalpel again.

This mistake was enough for him to regret it for the rest of his life.

He swore that he would never make a mistake like that a second time.
