"What do I have to feel guilty about!"
Zhang Caiyu suddenly stood up!
"Qin He, I'm telling you, I want the billion, and you must apologize to me publicly, otherwise, I will definitely make you regret it."
Qin He raised an eyebrow: "Regret what? Everyone's eyes are sharp now, and they trust me more."
A sinister smile appeared on Zhang Caiyu's face, and she opened her handbag in front of Qin He.
A lit-up voice recorder appeared before Qin He. Panic flashed across Qin He's face: "You actually carry a voice recorder with you?"
Immediately, Qin He calmed down: "Anyway, I'm just stating facts, so record it if you want."
Zhang Caiyu turned on the voice recorder and played the recording from just now.
"Qin He, did you call me over to settle this privately?"
"I want five hundred million."
"Alright."
"I, Qin He, have plagiarized Zhang Caiyu's ingredient list and will apologize to her publicly."
Qin He's expression turned completely cold as she heard the voice played by Zhang Caiyu.
"You're taking it out of context!"
Zhang Caiyu shook the voice recorder in her hand: "Who knows?"
She was clever; the recording was segmented. Every time the conversation turned to something unfavorable to her, she would pause.
Zhang Caiyu's heart surged, her face filled with pride and malice: "Qin He, you don't need to stare at my voice recorder. This is the latest technology. While recording, it's already backed up to the cloud. Even if you destroy this recorder, the recording is still in my hands."
Qin He gritted her teeth, laughing in extreme anger: "Zhang Caiyu, you are truly despicable and shameless."
"Don't talk to me about that," Zhang Caiyu glared at Qin He. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this! Qin He, I'm telling you, I don't want five hundred million anymore, I want a billion. Otherwise, I'll post this recording online. You decide what to do!"
Qin He took a deep breath: "Zhang Caiyu, you twisted the truth and plagiarized Wild Tea. I'm already being lenient by not suing you for imprisonment. Now I've agreed to give you five hundred million, you should be content."
"A billion, not a cent less," Zhang Caiyu said, holding the voice recorder.
Qin He stared at the voice recorder for a long time: "Forget it. Actually, the five hundred million was a lie. I never intended to give it to you."
Zhang Caiyu was stunned: "Qin He, are you crazy?"
Qin He's gaze was indifferent and icy: "Zhang Caiyu, do you know what disgusts me the most about you? You are despicable, your methods are shady, and it was bad enough that you framed me before.
But what makes you most inhuman is that you knew about the mica issue, that it was illegally mined, and you knew it was blood-soaked, that child labor was involved, and how many children die in those mica mines every year! You chose to ignore it!"
Zhang Caiyu's face turned cold: "So what? I didn't make them go into the mines; I just bought the mica!"
Qin He sneered: "You are an indirect executioner! I never thought Fang Yaozu would help you."
Zhang Caiyu gritted her teeth: "Qin He, you still have the mood to care about me and Mr. Fang? You will regret what you said today!"
She raised the voice recorder in her hand.
"You just wait and see what the people online who believed in you will think when they hear this! The more they believed in you before, the more disgusted they will be with you afterward!"
Zhang Caiyu grinned maniacally, her face contorted with madness: "Qin He, you've never experienced being attacked by the entire internet, have you? So what if it's taken out of context? Just these few sentences will ruin you. What medical professor, what philanthropist, you, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, will be a disgrace to the Qin family from now on!"
Qin He's expression turned cold and dark: "Zhang Caiyu, the netizens cursed you before because you brought it upon yourself. You did such things and then used that silly girl from the Fang family, used your sister to target me. Don't you think you are even more sinister and disgusting?"
Even if she were pretending, if Zhang Caiyu had just put on a show, not many people online would have cursed her.
After speaking, Qin He took out a document from her bag and threw it onto the table: "I investigated the mica incident. You indeed violated the law. I'm very curious how you escaped legal punishment. Was it the Fang Corporation? Did Fang Yaozu help you, or was it Song Nuan?"
Zhang Caiyu frowned: "What are you talking about? What Song Nuan?"
Qin He saw that Zhang Caiyu's expression didn't seem fake, and it looked like she genuinely didn't know Lin Xiaoya's true identity.
"I'm asking if Fang Yaozu bribed people for you, allowing you to escape legal punishment?" Qin He smiled at Zhang Caiyu.
Zhang Caiyu gripped the voice recorder, a smug and sinister smile spreading across her face: "Isn't it too late for you to ask now? Of course, Lin Xiaoya and Fang Yaozu helped me a lot. They are my future backing. Do you really think I would help you instead of them by just giving me some money? Helping you would be ruining my future!"
Qin He nodded: "Then there's no need for us to continue talking, Zhang Caiyu. You are beyond redemption. Only prison is suitable for you."
Zhang Caiyu glared at Qin He: "You can try to sue me. But Qin He, you can forget about releasing Wild Tea. As soon as you dare to hold a press conference, I will sue you. We'll see who ends up in prison."
Of course, if Qin He no longer released it, it would seem as if she were guilty.
Qin He stood up: "Zhang Caiyu."
Zhang Caiyu looked at Qin He with a triumphant expression.
Qin He raised her hand.
With a "slap," a resounding crack echoed in the small fitting room.
Qin He's martial arts skills were not weak, and she used inch force with this slap. Blood trickled from the corner of Zhang Caiyu's lip.
She was stunned by the blow.
Qin He slapped her again with the back of her hand: "The first one was for the children who died in the mica mines, and this one is for me."
After the second slap, Qin He considered: "Oh right, there's also Li Ai. If I guessed correctly, you enslaved your cousin for so long, and you suddenly came to Qingcheng to see her this time, probably to steal the recipe list when she wasn't paying attention?"
Zhang Caiyu recovered from the shock, retreated two steps in fear, and roared: "If you have the guts, let Li Ai present evidence! She has no evidence at all. She's been begging me for so many times lately. People of such lowly status are the only ones you treat like treasures! She's just born to be lowly, Qin He, you are a bitch!"
Zhang Caiyu had already started to curse.
Qin He's eyes grew colder as she looked down at Zhang Caiyu.
She took a step forward. Zhang Caiyu, still dazed from the blows, quickly stepped back.
"If you dare to hit me again, Qin He, I'll ruin your reputation! I'll say you wanted to snatch the voice recorder and hit me, and I'll get a medical examination!"
Qin He sneered: "You want a medical examination? Then let me help you. I've been practicing martial arts for many years and know exactly how to hit you so it hurts but doesn't cause serious injury."
She easily twisted the struggling Zhang Caiyu.
The sound of slaps echoed incessantly.
At first, Zhang Caiyu endured and screamed, but then she began to cry out in pain.
Qin He looked at the tear-streaked face and let go of her with disgust.
"These slaps are for Li Ai, and for all the perfumers at Qingsui who have worked hard for so long."
"Qin He!!!"
