Chapter 250 - Protection in Public

When the media reporters heard the news, they all wanted to report on this exclusive explosive news. They knew that Wu Mei’s identity was special, so they all threw out extremely provocative questions with sharp and tricky words. They tried to dig a hole for Wu Mei so that she could give them an answer that was convenient for them to edit.

“Do you admit that you injured someone previously? Why were you able to leave the police station when the victim was seriously injured and hospitalized?”

“What secret deal do you have with the police station?”

The reporter took Wu Mei’s photo and even found an angle to include a shot of the door of the police station behind her. “You’re using your connections to mitigate the punishment. This will cause the judicial system to be unfair. Can money resolve the punishment for all crimes?”

“What’s the point of the law? Can you and the Police Chief give the ordinary folks a proper explanation?”

At first, Wu Mei wanted to explain, but when she realized that the reporters only wanted her to plead guilty, her expression darkened and she looked around at the reporters.

With a derisive expression, she mocked everyone present, “You guys don’t want to investigate the truth at all. You just want to use words to convict me.”

“In that case, I would like to ask, how much money did you guys receive to work for a certain someone? Can you write a fair report?”

The media reporters looked at each other. The atmosphere was slightly stagnant and silent. Somewhat impatient, Wu Mei wanted to push them aside to leave the police station. However, she bumped into a familiar embrace. She looked up and saw Li Nanchen’s side profile. Her lips suddenly curled up into a smile and she felt at ease.

Li Nanchen hugged Wu Mei in his arms and said in an extremely cold voice, “As mainstream media, don’t you care about the cause of the incident at all? Wu Mei definitely had her reasons for beating someone up. If Wu Pang hadn’t taken the initiative to cause harm, she wouldn’t have hit him.”

The reporters did not expect Li Nanchen to appear to defend Wu Mei. A reporter who had reported on the hospital incident stepped forward and interrogated loudly, “President Li is so protective of Wu Mei. Is she using the Li Corporation as her backer to willfully commit murder and harm?”

Wu Mei’s eyebrows knitted together as she stared at the reporter. She secretly noted the name of his department and opened her mouth to explain for Li Nanchen.

However, Li Nanchen did not give her a chance to speak. With an arrogant expression, he said in front of everyone, “No matter who Wu Mei beat up, the Li Corporation is able to offer compensation. As long as she feels that this person deserves to be hit, the Li Corporation and I will back her up.”

Wu Mei did not expect Li Nanchen to say this. Her eyes were filled with shock as she tugged on his arm and said, “Don’t spout nonsense.”

Such a public declaration, even if it was later suppressed through connections, would still cause a lot of public opinion and rumors to spread, which would be detrimental to the Li Corporation’s positive image and reputation. It was not worth it for Li Nanchen to go to such an extent for a despicable person like Wu Pang.

However, Li Nanchen ignored her attempts to stop him. Instead, he continued to face all the cameras. With a cold expression on his statue-like face, he announced, “From today onwards, the Li Corporation and all its partners will target Wu Pang. I hope he can be mentally prepared in advance.”

“What I said today represents the company’s standpoint! Furthermore, I’m only targeting Wu Pang, it has nothing to do with the Wu Corporation…”

At this moment, Li Nanchen still did not forget to defend the interests of Wu Mei and Mother Wu’s company. However, the reporters did not expect him to make such an important decision. The entire venue was in an uproar as they immediately sent the content of the report back to the headquarters in an attempt to fight for the headlines!
