Chapter 563 Sky’s Press Conference (4)
Jun faced the reporters and said, “For the world, it may be now that you are knowing all this, but I knew from before. Considering what Sun Bai went through, do you think that I housed a murderer in Sky?”
The reporters took this as a cue that they had the permission to speak so one cautiously asked, “B-But is there any evidence…? Can Miss. Sun not lie to protect herself?”
“If she lied to protect herself, would she have come to Sky today? I didn’t call her. She came on her own to confess everything instead of running away from the police.”
He said nothing.
“But if you want evidence then…”
At his signal, Yunru took out a file and snorted. “This is Lu Long’s whole life history. Read it for yourself how he was a player and has harassed women on many occasions. He was a repeated offender and lived a very irresponsible lifestyle. Is it so hard to believe Sun Bai now?” .
Sun Bai clenched her fist. During the police interrogation, she had come to know that Lu Long had criminal records, which had only broken her heart further.
The reporters quickly went through all the papers and were stunned to read it. They stared at Lu Bohai. “So, Mr. Lu Bohai must have known why Miss. Sun attacked him. Then why would you play as a victim?”
Jun smiled. “You caught on to it. Why not Lu Bohai give that answer?”
Lu Bohai was startled with everybody’s attention. “I-I didn’t know about this at all!”
Yunru grimaced. “Shut up. You have always come to the police station on his multiple bail occasions. Even so you will feign ignorance about your brother’s horrible behavior!?”
He trembled.
Jun narrowed his eyes and got up. His every step towards him felt like pressure building upon his shoulders. Jun said, “Start talking the truth. It wasn’t that you were threatened but the other way around.”
“No…!”
Xing Bi came forward and said, “Don’t lie! I saw you talking to Sun Bai that day at the restaurant. You were clearly demanding something from her and it was obvious that you were in charge of the conversation and not her. Now I understand what happened. You were threatening her that day to help you with Ai’s drafts so that you could save your job! And Sun Bai was reluctant and protesting, but you kept tormenting her!”
Lu Bohai widened his eyes.
Fuck, this woman was there at that time!?
She further added. “If you all don’t believe me, you can check the restaurant’s CCTV footage of that day. I was with Liu Nian just sitting at the very next table from Sun Bai’s,” she harrumphed. “Then on that night when I saw her so late at Sky, she was actually transferring Ai’s drafts into her device to give it to you because you had threatened her!”
“B-But she killed my brother! Why would I threaten her!? This doesn’t make sense!” He cried.
Jun sneered. “It makes perfect sense when you hardly shared any close bonds with your brother. In fact, he was just a burden to you especially with criminal records on his back. You actually felt thankful to Sun Bai for the good riddance. But…”
He squinted his eyes and his voice echoed with a deadly warning. “But you decided to use it against Sun Bai when you saw her frightened for her sister’s sake. You must have said something like, ‘If you don’t want me to expose your crime to your sister and her University, you will do as I say.’ Naturally, Sun Bai, who was so concerned about her future and life, gave in to your threat. Even today, she was only trying to hide the truth simply because she felt too ashamed to reveal about the attempted sexual assault on her, especially by the very same person who was her boyfriend at one point.”
Tears fell down Sun Bai’s eyes, and she broke down. It was evident for anybody present in the room that the fear and shame reflecting in her eyes was real.
But soon, she felt Ai’s warm embrace take her in. “Nothing is your fault, Sun Bai. You don’t have to feel ashamed either.”
“Miss. Zhou…”
“Ssh. You did everything to protect your sister and even though Lu Bohai threatened to expose you and put a risk on your sister’s life, you still decided not to betray Sky and leak my drafts,” Ai sniffled. “You have no idea how much that means to me, Miss. Sun…You were ready to put everything at stake for me and be just and fair until the very end. None other things matter to me.”
Xing Bi hugged her too and said, “Ai is totally right! Also, it shouldn’t be you who should feel ashamed of anything. Lu Long and his brother Lu Bohai, should feel ashamed of treating women as objects they can use! Your dead brother and you…” she gritted her teeth, throwing deadly glares at Lu Bohai, “both should rot in hell! He took advantage of her and so did you! Pathetic!”
Lu Bohai felt cornered on all sides. “N-No! You have to trust me! This-this woman is lying! A-are you seriously falling for her fake tears who stabbed my brother!?”
The temperature dropped pretty quickly when Jun grabbed Lu Bohai’s neck, choking him.
The reporters gasped. “M-Mr. Liu, what are you doing!?”
“Punishing someone who talks shit about my family. Everybody working in Sky is my family as much as my parents and siblings. You tried to harm a member of my family which I won’t tolerate at any cost.”
Jun’s dark brown irises sent a sharp shudder down his neck.
“I…I…!” He was breathless.
“So tell me. What punishment should I give you?” Jun asked with a sinister smile. “Which bone of your body should I break first?”
His face paled in terror.
“N-No please!” He gasped, trying to break free but all in vain. “Please s-spare me! I-I didn’t do it myself…It was somebody else w-who told me to expose Sun Bai!”
