Chapter 100: Tang Bingyan Answered the Phone

This press conference was even livelier than the last one, and even reporters from surrounding cities rushed to the scene by high-speed rail.

Li Qiang and Qian Lili both looked haggard.

Especially Li Qiang, who was like a frightened bird, his eyes trying to avoid the cameras, his face full of panic.

As soon as the start time for the press conference arrived, he quickly grabbed the microphone on the table and spoke the words he had already drafted several times.

"Sorry to take up everyone's time. Regarding the previous case of Shang Yiran threatening my daughter, I want to make a clarification.

Shang Yiran never committed any act of infringing upon my daughter. It was all my rumor-mongering and slander. It was I who arranged for my wife to accompany me in lying, and I also instigated my daughter to record audio to deceive the reporters.

But my initial purpose was just to extort some money from Shang Yiran. I am not a pervert, and I have never had any molestation behavior toward my daughter..."

Li Qiang's words made the atmosphere at the scene boil instantly.

"Shang Yiran was actually framed!"

"This black-hearted couple deserves retribution!"

"No good deed goes unpunished. This is truly too much!"

Listening to the curses from the audience, Li Qiang and Qian Lili couldn't lift their heads even more.

But in order to appease public anger, they still tried hard to apologize.

"Sorry, it was our greed that blinded us. We used the public's sympathy for the weak to frame Shang Yiran."

"We truly know we were wrong. All the faults are mine and my wife's. Our daughter is innocent. She is still young and still needs to go to school. I hope the media won't go to the school to squat anymore."

"Heh, if you had known today would come, why act like that in the first place? Apologizing late now, what were you doing earlier?"

Although Li Qiang apologized, the reporters in the audience didn't buy it.

"Shang Yiran kindly helped you, yet you returned kindness with enmity. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs!"

"The most disgusting thing is that they used the public's sympathy and used innocent netizens as guns! After such an incident, who will dare to uphold justice in the future, and who knows if there will be another reversal?"

"However, that little girl is also quite pitiful, being used as a tool for making money by her own biological parents. The little girl should study hard and strive to get away from such a family of origin as soon as possible."

Shang Yiran's fans, who were watching the live broadcast online, swiped the screen with bullet comments after hearing Li Qiang and his wife apologize.

"Shang Yiran is innocent!"

"Those who cursed him without distinguishing right from wrong, come out and apologize!"

"I knew long ago that our Yiran wouldn't do such a thing, but you just wouldn't believe it! Now that the truth is out, those unscrupulous media who only know how to follow the trend must have their faces swollen from being slapped, right?"

Xu Tian, who was also watching the live broadcast, put down his tablet and rubbed his brow.

It is said that justice may be late, but it will never be absent.

In his previous life, Shang Yiran did indeed wait for the late justice, but he paid a very painful price.

His entire life was ruined by a lie. Even if his name was cleared, what was the point?

And among those netizens who were filled with righteous indignation online, how many really cared about the victim?

From Shang Yiran to Li Qiang, there were indeed true righteous people, but most people were just looking for a way to vent the anger in their hearts.

The public often focuses not on the truth, but on the gossip they can talk about after dinner.

The online world has always been like this, but being able to pull an innocent person back from the edge of the abyss still gave Xu Tian a great sense of accomplishment.

After this public relations effort, Xu Tian became even more determined to develop in the direction of self-media.

He could first gain experience at Tian Feng Entertainment for a period of time, and once he had accumulated enough connections and resources, he could start his own business.

After his rebirth, he had already figured out that he wanted to live a good life with Tang Bingyan.

So he also had to work harder to become a partner who could stand side-by-side with her as soon as possible.

At the same time, in a wealthy district in Jiangshui City.

Zhou Ping, who was watching Li Qiang's live apology, was overjoyed.

"He did it!"

"Xu Tian actually did it!"

"I didn't understand how Xu Tian operated to clear your name before. I didn't expect him to make Li Qiang personally admit to framing you. This move is truly too brilliant!"

"No amount of whitewashing is as effective as the person involved personally admitting to framing."

"In this way, the dirty water they splashed on you can be completely washed away!"

Zhou Ping was extremely glad that he had trusted Xu Tian at the beginning, instead of letting the company pay money to settle the matter and avert disaster.

This time, Xu Tian truly gave them a big surprise.

"Yiran, for such a big happy event, we must celebrate properly. However, I think you should go to a temple to pray first and wash away the bad luck..."

Zhou Ping had already thought about how to celebrate, but he saw Shang Yiran looking down at the phone in his hand, as if he hadn't heard what he was saying at all.

"Yiran? I'm talking to you. Li Qiang apologized in public. You can completely turn things around now!"

"Mm, I know." Shang Yiran's tone was faint, still focusing on the phone screen.

"Yiran, you are waiting for Xu Tian to contact us, right?"

Zhou Ping was an agent who had been with Shang Yiran for several years after all. He could see through the other party's thoughts through a small action of Shang Yiran.

"Logically speaking, Xu Tian should have given us a call. Did he get too busy and forget? I'll go ask."

As Zhou Ping said this, he also took out his phone and dialed Xu Tian's number.

The ringtone rang for a long time, and no one answered.

Just as Zhou Ping was about to hang up, it was finally answered.

"Hello?"

It was a cold and forceful woman's voice.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Ping was suddenly stunned. Perhaps because this voice had such a strong aura, his tone also became a bit nervous.

"Excuse me, is this..."

Shang Yiran was right beside Zhou Ping and also heard the woman's voice answering the phone, so he asked with some surprise: "It's not Xu Tian. Did you dial the wrong number?"

"This..." Zhou Ping confirmed the number again: "That's right..."

At the same time, Tang Bingyan, who was holding Xu Tian's phone, also frowned slightly.

Xu Tian was taking a shower. She heard the phone ringing, and since there was no caller ID, she answered it casually for him.

Because it wasn't a woman's voice on the phone, she had a bit more patience.

However, this bit of patience was also exhausted while Zhou Ping was busy confirming whether the number was right or wrong.

Just as she was about to hang up, Xu Tian, wrapped in a bath towel, walked out of the bathroom and asked casually: "Whose call is it?"

"Looking for you." Tang Bingyan handed the phone over with an expressionless face.

"Hello?" Xu Tian answered the phone while wiping his hair with one hand and asked: "Who is this?"

"Mr. Xu, it's me!" Zhou Ping hurriedly spoke up.

Only then did Xu Tian realize he hadn't saved Zhou Ping's number: "Agent Zhou, is something the matter?"

"Who answered the phone just now? I thought I had dialed the wrong number." Zhou Ping let out a long sigh of relief. ===== CHAPTER 101 =====
