The press conference venue.
Although the press conference had concluded, the audience remained, reluctant to leave, their excitement undimmed.
For everyone present, today was a triumphant occasion!
For years, Longguo had been subjected to suppression and slander from abroad, and this time was no exception, facing the same tactics once more.
And Min Ziqiong's cousin, that fool, had become a pawn in others' schemes to suppress Longguo.
Not only did he hand over a large sum of money for free, but he was also sold out by them in return.
If this matter were to be settled then and there, the entire reputation of Longguo would be utterly disgraced.
Longguo would not only become a laughingstock but would also be branded as a "country of swindlers."
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Shen Jing stepped forward.
With its miraculous quality, Shen Jing had managed to help Longguo turn the tables!
Even now, the crowd couldn't forget the expressions on the faces of those foreign reporters when they saw the experimental results of Shen Jing!
They looked as terrible as they could possibly look!
Beyond that was profound shock and apprehension.
"Let's go for a drink! My treat!"
"Don't fight me for it, all expenses tonight are on me, Young Master Zhao!"
"Quick, help me repost on Weibo! To celebrate this moment, I've decided to draw a Mercedes-Benz from the reposts on Weibo!"
Among the audience were clearly wealthy and influential individuals, all expressing their excitement in their own ways.
Meanwhile, Li Yan was struggling to drag Min Ziqiong's cousin, trying to escape this place that filled her with embarrassment and anger.
However, her strength was too little, and she couldn't move Min Ziqiong's cousin no matter how hard she tried.
Just then, a hand reached out and helped her lift Min Ziqiong's cousin.
Li Yan was instantly touched.
Unexpectedly, someone was willing to help her at this moment?
As she looked up, intending to thank the person, the first thing that caught her eye was a uniform.
Then, a pair of glittering silver bracelets.
*Thump!*
Li Yan's grip loosened, and Min Ziqiong's cousin was heavily dropped to the ground.
"Who? Who the hell dropped me!"
This fall, however, had shocked Min Ziqiong's cousin awake.
Seeing that it was Li Yan, Min Ziqiong's cousin's anger surged.
With a smack, he slapped Li Yan.
"You bitch! It was all your stupid idea! If you hadn't suggested framing Min Ziqiong and using Min Ziqiong's popularity to promote Thunder Laboratory, I wouldn't have been played by those foreigners!"
"If it had succeeded, that would be one thing, but instead, everything's gone wrong. Not only did we lose so much money! The reputation of Thunder Laboratory has also been ruined!"
"Even selling you wouldn't be enough to compensate for this loss! You rotten good-for-nothing! You whore!"
Li Yan desperately signaled to Min Ziqiong's cousin with her eyes.
Indicating for Min Ziqiong's cousin to shut up.
But Min Ziqiong's cousin seemed oblivious, instead escalating the situation: "What do you mean by signaling me? Are you embarrassed? Hmph! What were you doing earlier! I'm telling you, not only do you have to repay the money spent on purchasing samples from Eden, but you also have to repay the money used to bribe You San'er!"
"If you can't repay it, you'll never escape my grasp in this lifetime! I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Hearing Min Ziqiong's cousin's words, Li Yan instantly broke down.
It was over, everything was over!
Without even needing interrogation, Min Ziqiong's cousin had confessed to all the crimes himself!
"I didn't expect that the mastermind behind this wasn't just Li Yan, but you too, Mr. Min!"
"That's truly thanks to Mr. Min for your confession, saving us the trouble of investigating."
"Come, let's also present Mr. Min with a pair of silver bracelets, to commend his honesty."
A voice sounded in Min Ziqiong's cousin's ear.
Then, a pair of silver bracelets appeared on Min Ziqiong's cousin's hands.
"What's going on?" Min Ziqiong's cousin turned pale with shock.
Only after turning around did he realize: a group of police officers were standing behind him!
And everything he had just said had been heard by the police, not a word missed!
His crimes had all been exposed by himself!
Min Ziqiong's cousin felt his world spin, and he repeatedly explained: "I was just talking nonsense just now, it doesn't count, you mustn't believe me!."
"I didn't frame Min Ziqiong, and I don't know anyone named You San'er..."
"It was all Li Yan's doing, it has nothing to do with me! If you're going to arrest someone, arrest her!"
Facing Min Ziqiong's cousin's attempt to shift the blame, Li Yan's face showed a look of deep disappointment.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said: "That's right, it was all me."
Min Ziqiong's cousin rejoiced and faked a few tears: "Xiao Yan, you've touched me so..."
However, before Min Ziqiong's cousin could finish saying "touched," he heard Li Yan continue: "But the mastermind behind it all was him!"
*Thump!*
Min Ziqiong's cousin instantly collapsed to the ground.
The look of being touched on his face turned into infinite rage: "Li Yan, you bitch, you dare to sell me out! Just you wait, do you think you can condemn me by biting back? I'll be out in a few days! When I get out, you'll be miserable!"
Li Yan heard this and remained unusually calm: "I'm already miserable enough, being pushed out as a scapegoat by the man I love. What difference does it make if I become even more miserable?"
"Moreover, I bet you won't be able to get out! Because I've kept all the evidence! Not only for this incident, but also for other illegal and criminal acts you made me do before! All to prevent this day from coming!"
*Swish*, Min Ziqiong's cousin's face turned ashen.
He never imagined that Li Yan had secretly collected evidence of all his illegal and criminal activities.
Just framing Min Ziqiong alone might not lead to a severe sentence for him.
But combined with other evidence of illegal and criminal activities, he was absolutely doomed!
He would spend the rest of his life in prison!
"You... how ruthless!" Min Ziqiong's cousin's body trembled as he pointed at Li Yan and cursed.
Then, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted again from anger and fear!
"Take them away!"
The leader of the special task force waved his hand.
Instantly, Min Ziqiong's cousin and Li Yan were taken into a police car.
The audience members who hadn't left the scene saw this and, as if understanding something, let out deafening cheers.
"I knew Min Ziqiong was innocent!"
"So these two were behind it all!"
"They deliberately framed Min Ziqiong, and then took the opportunity to push their own laboratory products, using our patriotism and sense of justice to profit, simply detestable!"
"Quick, post this on the internet! Let everyone see the truth about these two!"
Amidst the discussions of the audience, the matter was quickly uploaded online.
Originally, netizens were already speaking up for Min Ziqiong, believing him to be wronged.
With the release of this news, the entire internet erupted in cheers.
Subsequently, the Jianghai police vaguely confirmed the authenticity of the news, stating that the case had indeed taken a turn, that a male and female suspect had been arrested, and Min Ziqiong had been released and sent home.
The netizens finally completely believed: Min Ziqiong was indeed innocent from beginning to end!
Then, a strange scene occurred on Min Ziqiong's personal social media account.
Netizens lined up one after another, apologizing on Min Ziqiong's social media account.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
"I'm sorry, I was too young and was manipulated by bad people!"
"I'm sorry for wrongly accusing you. From now on, I'm your loyal fan! Anyone who dares to smear or slander you again, I'll deal with them!"
