"What?"
"Apologize immediately?"
Hearing the flight attendants' words, Shi Wuxie almost couldn't believe her ears, and said in shock, "You want me to apologize to him?"
"Miss, you heard correctly, you are indeed asked to apologize to Young Master Zhou at once."
One of the flight attendants, who looked to be around thirty, had a voluptuous figure, and a professional fake smile on her face. Her name tag read Qi Siyuan. She said with a smile, "Young Master Zhou is the young master of Tenglong Group, who will inherit trillions in family fortune. How could someone of his status steal, and moreover steal a worthless bamboo flute from you?"
"So, it must have been your delusion, and you wronged Young Master Zhou. You should apologize to him."
"What if I don't apologize?"
Seeing Qi Siyuan siding with the胖 man, Shi Wuxie frowned, looking displeased, and said.
"Spreading rumors, smearing, and slandering others is illegal. If you refuse, we will have to handle it according to the law."
Qi Siyuan said coldly, "There are martial guards on the flight. If you refuse to apologize, then the martial guards can only control you first, and then hand you over to the local martial guards for handling when we reach Shu."
"You..."
Shi Wuxie's face turned red with anger at Qi Siyuan's words, but she was not good with words and lacked communication skills. Although she was angry, she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
The other passengers smiled slightly, finding nothing wrong with the situation.
Although Shi Wuxie was beautiful, when they heard her say that Zhou Jian wanted to steal her bamboo flute, everyone dismissed her as someone trying to gain attention and fame by making a spectacle of herself.
In today's world flooded with internet celebrities, there were too many such people who would do anything to become famous.
For such people, the best approach was to ignore them, pay them no mind, and not get involved in their antics.
Seeing the attitude of the passengers, Qi Siyuan smiled and said, "Miss, you see, the other passengers don't believe you either. So, please don't be stubborn and make further mistakes."
"A simple apology is not a big deal. Young Master Zhou is magnanimous and won't hold it against you."
As soon as Qi Siyuan finished speaking, a passenger chimed in.
An elderly middle-aged man looked at Shi Wuxie and said indignantly, "You woman, you've slandered someone. What's wrong with apologizing?"
"No way, no way, you don't really think you can just slander someone's reputation nowadays, do you?"
"Let me tell you, you can become famous these days, but it's best to do it the right way. While sensationalism and making a fool of yourself might bring you temporary fame, time will eventually reveal your true colors."
"Yes, apologize, you must apologize."
After the middle-aged man spoke, a middle-aged woman chimed in righteously, "If you don't apologize, we'll film it and expose you to the entire internet, you shameless woman!"
"Yes, if you don't apologize, film her and show the whole internet how shameless and unscrupulous this woman is just to become famous."
After the middle-aged woman spoke, a girl with bangs added her voice.
One after another, the crowd spoke, instantly igniting the atmosphere. Hundreds of passengers glared at Shi Wuxie, filled with indignation.
Qi Siyuan and the other flight attendants were quite pleased with the atmosphere and smiled at Shi Wuxie, "Miss, it's okay to make mistakes, but you must apologize when it's time to apologize. The eyes of the public are discerning. Don't be stubborn any longer; it will only push you into an abyss from which there's no return."
Seeing this, Zhou Jian waved his hand and said to Shi Wuxie, "Miss, my family also has an internet company, and I can understand people like you who want to become famous. As long as you apologize to me, today's matter will be over, okay?"
"Apologize?"
"You stole my bamboo flute, and then a fish hook scratched a mark on my bamboo flute, ruining it, and you want me to apologize?"
Shi Wuxie looked at Zhou Jian, astonished that such a shameless person existed. Her face turned even redder with anger, and she stubbornly said, "For me to apologize? Impossible. You can forget about it."
Saying this, Shi Wuxie looked resolutely at Qi Siyuan and the flight attendants and said, "I've done nothing wrong, and I will never apologize."
She then looked at the surveillance cameras and said, "If he stole anything, you can check the surveillance footage now to find out."
"Miss, don't be ridiculous anymore. Young Master Zhou would never steal."
Seeing Shi Wuxie's stubbornness and her refusal to apologize despite the pressure from everyone, a hint of displeasure crossed Qi Siyuan's face as she said, "Young Master Zhou is the only son of Chairman Zhou of Tenglong Group. He is young but has a net worth of hundreds of millions. Why would he steal your bamboo flute?"
"Miss, sometimes, it's okay to make mistakes, but you must learn to apologize, understand?"
Qi Siyuan placed a hand on Shi Wuxie's shoulder, a sinister glint in her eyes, "Young Master Zhou has given you a chance, and we, the public, have given you a chance. You should cherish it."
After speaking, the blue veins on Qi Siyuan's left hand, which was on Shi Wuxie's shoulder, bulged as she pressed down forcefully on Shi Wuxie's shoulder.
This woman is actually an internal martial arts master?
Seeing Qi Siyuan make a move, Shen Lang was slightly surprised.
Qi Siyuan's aura was restrained, and her breathing was rapid, signs of years of internal martial arts cultivation.
"Is this Bone Melting Palm?"
Sensing a chilling aura emanating from Qi Siyuan's palm strike, Shen Lang thought of Bone Melting Palm, a sinister technique. Those who were struck by it would have their bones gradually weaken over time, becoming as brittle as paper after exactly forty-nine days, turning them into cripples.
"This woman is too venomous."
Shen Lang sighed, but he didn't intervene. He knew that although Shi Wuxie was not eloquent, she was by no means a weak woman.
She dared to go to the execution ground alone in Nanling to snatch someone from death. Besides her ability to command hundreds of birds, her own martial arts cultivation was not to be underestimated.
As expected, the moment Qi Siyuan exerted force, a terrifying surge of internal energy erupted from within Shi Wuxie. Qi Siyuan was caught off guard and was pushed back several steps, her face filled with shock.
Qi Siyuan hadn't expected Shi Wuxie to be a martial artist, and for a moment, she lamented her carelessness.
Shen Lang recognized Qi Siyuan's technique as Bone Melting Palm, and Shi Wuxie did too.
Looking at the astonished Qi Siyuan, Shi Wuxie said calmly, "I advise you not to use this technique, Bone Melting Palm, anymore. Because it not only harms others but also harms yourself."
"What are you saying? I don't understand."
After recovering, Qi Siyuan said coldly, "What we need to discuss now is that you slandered Young Master Zhou, and you should apologize to him."
"Of course, if you don't apologize, then find a witness and provide evidence to prove that what you said is true."
Qi Siyuan looked at Shi Wuxie triumphantly, "Can you find a witness and provide evidence?"
"I'm sorry, but she really can."
As soon as Qi Siyuan finished speaking, Shen Lang's lazy voice rang out.
