Chapter 2283: Revealing the True Face

Xu Huan was shocked.

She thought, when did a camera get added here!?

Wouldn't her dispute with Li Moning all be recorded?

Xu Huan had originally wanted to make an issue of it.

Now she didn't dare; lowering her eyes, she shook her head: "It was me who fell by accident."

"Then, Teacher Liu Sui's words..."

"Teacher Liu Sui misunderstood!"

Liu Sui also noticed that look from Qingkong and knew that splashing dirty water on Li Moning was not going to work.

But Xu Huan should have at least put up a struggle.

To just give up like this...

What a waste!

Liu Sui was furious.

The director acted as a peacemaker: "Since it's all a misunderstanding, then let's just leave it at that. It's early in the morning, everyone is busy, let's disperse."

Saying this, the director took Qingkong with him to the office.

Liu Sui stared coldly at Xu Huan.

Xu Huan did not dare to meet her gaze.

Not until the sound of high heels gradually faded away did she let out a sigh of relief.

The storm seemed to have vanished.

No one mentioned changing interest classes again.

But gradually, rumors about Li Moning spread throughout the school.

Some said she was arrogant and domineering, bullied classmates, and didn't even take teachers seriously.

Others said she used her status to bully others, formed cliques, and acted specially in school.

All kinds of rumors grew more and more intense.

Some believed them, and some did not.

But everyone would chat about it a little bit.

Ling Xiaoxiao and Li Moning were passing by outside the playground and happened to hear someone gossiping about Li Moning.

These gossips were like a fire, instantly igniting Ling Xiaoxiao's anger.

She turned her head and shouted at a few people: "What do you know, just repeating what others say!"

When those people saw Li Moning, they immediately left in twos and threes.

Ling Xiaoxiao chased after them, intending to continue questioning them.

Li Moning grabbed her and advised: "The rumors weren't spread by them, there's no point in arguing."

Actually, Ling Xiaoxiao knew this logic too.

But she was just very angry.

Kicking a pebble, Ling Xiaoxiao said indignantly: "Who exactly is so wicked to make up such malicious words behind your back to slander you?!"

Li Moning lowered her eyes and did not speak.

Seeing her so quiet, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim: "You really are becoming more and more able to keep your cool now."

"Only by keeping my cool will the guy talking bad about me behind my back lose his cool; only when he gets anxious and makes another move can I catch him red-handed."

"Well said! We must ferret out this bastard and beat him until he's black and blue!"

As Ling Xiaoxiao said this, she grabbed a handful of pebbles and threw them hard into the grass. Her fierce appearance looked as if the culprit was hiding inside the grass.

Li Moning shook her head with a smile, then said: "Hitting people won't do; if you want to vent, there are plenty of ways."

"For example?"

"Exposing the other party's true face."

When Li Moning said this, she was unhurried and calm.

It was as if...

Ling Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow slightly, her fingers touching her chin, and began to look Li Moning up and down.

Li Moning shifted her body and asked: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I just feel... you know who is targeting you."

Li Moning did not deny it.

She only smiled and said: "Wait and watch the show."

After saying this, Li Moning stepped forward and walked away.

Ling Xiaoxiao didn't expect that she had guessed right; she was stunned for a moment, then excitedly followed.

In her heart, she was faintly looking forward to the show Li Moning spoke of!

At an international business conference, Chu Tiankuo attended as a company representative.

At the meeting, he was calm, noble, and looked every bit the elite.

There was absolutely no sign of his tyrannical side.

Chu Tiankuo's performance was also quite impressive, earning the appreciation of many seniors.

Soon, it was time for the on-site reporter Q&A session.

The questions asked by the first few reporters were all standard.

The answers given by the respondents were also like textbooks, with no faults to be found.

This kind of answer, while safe, lacked a bit of freshness.

It made people feel drowsy.

Chu Tiankuo felt a bit sleepy himself.

However, he quickly pulled himself together.

Because the next reporter specifically called on Chu Tiankuo to ask: "Mr. Chu has a sharp eye; the several investments you participated in previously all made a fortune. I wonder, could you share a bit of your experience with everyone?"

Chu Tiankuo smiled and said into the microphone: "The experience is simple: dare to think, dare to act, and just seize the opportunity."

"Your answer is indeed a bit simple, and you also left out an important part—for example, you have to be ruthless and willing to use innocent people as your stepping stones."

The reporter's words made Chu Tiankuo withdraw his smile.

He felt that this person had come with ill intent!

Seeing Chu's reaction, the reporter pressed on: "Does Mr. Chu still remember Guangyao Investment from many years ago? As the founder, you absorbed a large amount of capital, but the investment failed, and many people ended up losing everything."

Hearing the four words "Guangyao Investment," Chu Tiankuo's expression changed.

The fingers resting on the table slowly curled up.

He looked toward the Security Guard, signaling for the other party to stop the reporter and drive this person away.

But before the Security Guard could rush over, the reporter rattled off: "Among those who invested with you, some jumped to their deaths in despair, some had their families torn apart, and others suffered imprisonment. Do you have nothing to say to these people?"

The expression on Chu Tiankuo's face was already visibly becoming irritable.

Guangyao Investment could be considered a stain on Chu Tiankuo's career.

Back then, Chu's father had already cleaned it up for him and even found a scapegoat.

Logically, these old, past events should not have been dug up.

Unless...

Su Kexuan!

Thinking of that woman, Chu Tiankuo narrowed his eyes.

Then he said sharply: "What you are saying is nothing but hearsay!"

"If it were truly hearsay, I naturally wouldn't be saying it here. Someone found me and provided concrete evidence from back then."

The reporter still wanted to display the evidence.

But the Security Guard appeared in a hurry and stopped them: "Please ask questions related to the conference, or else leave this place."

"The theme of this business conference is to promote commercial prosperity. But Chu Tiankuo carries several human lives on his back; shouldn't he be the one who most deserves to leave!"

Chu Tiankuo did not pay attention to what the reporter said.

Instead, he thought of an investor from back then.

That person had jumped from dozens of stories up right in front of him.

Human life became so insignificant in that instant.

The man who was roaring wildly a second before could be smashed into a bloody mess the next.

The bright red blood was so glaring...

The expression on Chu Tiankuo's face became increasingly ferocious.

He opened his mouth and roared: "Shut up!"

This display of complete lack of composure left everyone in the room stunned.

Immediately, there was whispering.

The reporter seized the opportunity and asked sharply: "Do those two words of yours mean you have nothing to say?"

"I told you to shut up!"

Chu Tiankuo picked up the bottle of purified water beside his hand and smashed it fiercely at the reporter.

Although it didn't hit, everyone was already shocked by Chu Tiankuo's madness.

Many reporters even aimed their cameras at Chu Tiankuo.

Seeing that Chu Tiankuo's emotions were not right, the event organizers sent staff over to dissuade him.

But Chu Tiankuo subconsciously felt that this person was in league with the reporter, and without a word, he punched the other party!

Then came the second punch, the third punch...

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

Jiang Baobao looked at the screen, her heart sinking to the bottom of a valley.
