Both of them had done nothing to Xiang Jinxi.

Yet, the man’s resentment toward Huo Zhenning had dragged down everyone around the latter.

Lu Zhaoyang wiped her cheeks and sat up straight beside Huo Yunting.

“It is only fair that he gets a taste of his own medicine,” she said quietly.

Huo Yunting squeezed her hand in understanding.

“The sentiment is mutual.”

Lu Zhaoyang felt dispirited after their conversation.

Huo Yunting spent the entire afternoon with her until she felt calmer before heading back to his study.

…

The next day, the morning news dropped a bombshell on the city and the rest of the country.

“While rumours of Thunderbolt Corp’s president Huo Yunting being responsible for instigating his mother-in-law’s death continues to spread, we received first hand information just yesterday that offers a clearer view of the truth. Evidence suggests that President Huo’s mother-in-law killed herself not because of him, but because Xiang Jinxi from Xiang Yuan Corp hired someone to persuade her to commit the act.

“The following is a voice recording.”

What followed was a replay of the voice recording that was found in Qin An’s phone.

All the main media channels in the city reported on this voice recording that day.

The web exploded with discussions and commentaries on the latest developments. In just a few hours, everyone came to hear about it, one way or another.

“I knew that President Huo is innocent. He’s so d*mn hot!”

“What has that got to do with his ethics? Xian Jinxi looks like a normal human too, but look at what he has done!”

“Tsk tsk, you can never judge a book by its cover!”

“…”

All major websites were flooded with comments like these.

Since there was hard evidence, Xiang Jinxi could not deny his involvement. Xiang Yuan Corp’s public relations department was quick to deny any allegations and apply countermeasures to suppress the media outbreak, but that only served to further incite public scrutiny.

Xiang Yuan Corp’s share prices plummeted to a historical low.

Even the police got involved. People felt that Xiang Jinxi had caused a person’s death just to improve his company’s standing!

(Back at Thunderbolt Corp.)

Huo Yunting had just stepped out of his office when the reporters waiting outside clamoured their way to him, ignoring the security guards who tried to keep them back and devoid of their usual patience. One reporter asked loudly, “President Huo, what do you think about the matter of Xiang Yuan’s president causing your mother-in-law’s death?”

“Is this true? Do you think Thunderbolt Corp’s scandal before this was also because of President Xiang?”

“President Huo, please answer us!”

“President Huo!”

The reporters made quite a racket at the entrance to the office building.

Huo Yunting stood unperturbed in his suit in the middle of the ruckus and looked unusually impassive.

He took a sweeping look at the reporters around him calmly. Then, he spoke slowly, “I believe you already know what the truth is, so why ask me? I am always on the side of the evidence.”

The reporters were taken aback by his reply.
