1577 Self-Destruction
Xiao Ming wanted to vent his anger, so he found the best lawyer to deal with this matter.
After all, Xiao Xi had directly hurt Xiao Ming, but she was not injured. Moreover, she had taken the initiative to contact Xiao Ming, which could be seen from the phone records and chat records. The case was at a stalemate.
Xiao Ming released their chat history, causing the outside world to have great doubts about her.
[Oh my God, it was really Xiao Xi who took the initiative to look for Xiao Ming! Look at what’s written here. ‘I miss you. I want to see you.’ Ugh, how disgusting! Yet she’s still blaming Director Xiao for what happened!]
[I also feel that this matter seems to be deliberately set up to frame Director Xiao.]
[What role did Nirvana Entertainment and Su Lu play in this?]
[Xiao Ming must feel so wronged. Look, it was clearly Xiao Xi who took the initiative to see Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming was just reacting passively. Women are too scary.]
At this point, even if Hua Cuo had a strong defense, she could not protect Xiao Xi for the time being.
Xiao Xi apologized to Su Bei and Hua Cuo with tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry, Mr. Su, Lawyer Hua. I was too anxious to see Xiao Ming, so I wasn’t wary enough. If I had known, I wouldn’t have used such a method.”
Now that things had come to this, Su Bei could only comfort her. After all, her original intentions were good. What happened later was indeed unexpected.
The outside world was also filled with curses now. Everyone was involved.
The lawsuit was also at an impasse. It would not be easy for Xiao Xi to escape unscathed.
Xiao Ming’s body was injured, and his emotions were extreme. He, who was already arrogant, was being interviewed by the reporters at this moment. “Those who want to mess with me, listen up. As long as I don’t die, you can forget about escaping! Especially Xiao Xi. Let me tell you, you’re definitely going to jail! Not only you but even your family will be implicated!”
Although he was arrogant, many people sympathized with him. After all, everyone could sympathize with a man who had lost his private part. Many male netizens even formed teams to scold Xiao Xi, Nirvana Entertainment, and Su Lu on Weibo.
Su Bei asked Xiao Ling to stop working for now so that she would be protected and would not be implicated by Xiao Xi’s matter.
Xiao Ming gained an advantage with public opinion. All the artistes in Nirvana Entertainment were implicated and scolded.
There was still one last trial.
If they still couldn’t find a breakthrough in the evidence, Xiao Xi would really have to pay the price for her impulsiveness.
Su Bei and Hua Cuo had been looking for more evidence.
At night, Hua Cuo had already left Nirvana Entertainment and returned to the hotel.
Su Bei was still in the office, making one last effort. She hoped that the most recent victim would speak up for Xiao Xi and testify against her in private.
When Lu Heting pushed the door open, Su Bei was already asleep on the table.
He walked over, picked her up, and put her on the sofa.
She had really done a lot for this matter.
Standing on the balcony, Lu Heting called Lu Hang. “Go back first.”
He had to stay here with Su Bei and wait for the final trial tomorrow.
When Su Bei opened her eyes early in the morning, she saw Lu Heting leaning against the sofa. Hearing her voice, he immediately opened his eyes.
“Hubby, why are you here?”
“If I hadn’t come, you would’ve slept on the table all night.” Lu Heting’s heart ached as he scolded her, “No matter how busy you are, you can’t neglect your well-being.”
“This was the last day before the trial, so…”
Lu Heting pushed the breakfast over. “Eat first.”
Su Bei thought about the case and was so worried that she couldn’t eat. However, Lu Heting was sitting opposite her, and his gaze was on her. She could only force herself to eat.
Although she didn’t have much of an appetite, she still regained her vitality after eating.
Outside Nirvana Entertainment Building, reporters were everywhere.
The outside world was paying a lot of attention to this matter.
Those who sympathized with Xiao Ming wished the case could be closed as soon as possible and Xiao Xi would pay the price.
Su Bei did not come with Lu Heting. Lu Heting waited for Yue Ze, Hua Cuo, and the others to arrive before letting Su Bei go out with them.
Seeing them appear, the reporters swarmed over.
“Su Lu, do you have anything else to say about Director Xiao’s matter?”
“Don’t you feel guilty at all?”
“At this point, do you still think that what Xiao Xi did was the right thing? What role does Nirvana Entertainment play in this matter?”
“Please answer us directly, okay?”
Su Bei stopped in her tracks and said, “Alright then. My direct answer is—the more evil you do, the more you’ll suffer!”
The reporters were clamoring, and the questions were overwhelming.
“Are you so sure that Director Xiao is wrong?”
“Where exactly did your prejudice against him come from?”
“Why can’t you change your opinion of Director Xiao?”
The bodyguards arranged by Lu Heting had already disguised themselves as reporters. They had quietly blended into the crowd, separating the real reporters from Su Bei so that she could get into the car smoothly.
The three of them got into the car.
Yue Ze said, “The people are furious and speaking up for Xiao Ming.”
“Xiao Xi was in a hurry to see Xiao Ming previously, so she left too much evidence behind,” Hua Cuo said. “The little girl is kind, but she’s still too inexperienced in fighting.”
“Do your best,” Su Bei said. The previous victims had not given her a definite answer yet, so Su Bei could not force her.
The three of them got out of the car at the entrance of the courthouse. The reporters swarmed over them again.
At this moment, a young woman walked out from not far away. She held a sign and said loudly, “President Su, I’m here!”
The sign said, ‘I’m the victim of Xiao Ming’s assault. I’m willing to testify!’
When Su Bei heard this, she looked over. She recognized at a glance that it was a woman Xiao Ming had violated before. However, when she was in the midst of providing evidence, she retreated.
Now, she had stepped forward without hesitation.
The reporters also looked over. Another woman stood up and said, “President Su, I’m sorry for letting you down. This time, I’m here too!”
One, two, three… More and more people stood up.
They gathered together to form a new and irresistible force.
They had backed down before, but not this time.
Xiao Xi had done what they wanted to do but could not. Su Bei and Hua Cuo were also trying their best to fight for justice for them.
They could no longer sit still.
Even if they would be disturbed by the overwhelming criticism of public opinion and even if they would be pointed at, they had to do what they thought was right this time.
