One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos - Chapter 92
Chapter 92: Chapter 69 Betrayed Him
“Who are you trying to scare!” Ye Xiao rushed to protect her own, “What Shilan said is the truth, it’s not slander at all!”
She turned to look at Bai Shilan, “Shilan! They’re distorting the truth, it’s just too much! If you have any evidence, bring it out now.”
Liu Yan fanned the flames, “Bring it out, then. Let’s see her bring it out!”
Liu Yan and Ye Xiao sang in chorus, completely riling up Bai Shilan’s emotions.
Bai Shilan gritted her teeth, looking resentfully at La Jingzhou, then said, “You want evidence? I have it!”
“Bai Shilan!” La Jingzhou’s heart lurched, instinctively shouting out, his eyes filled with threat.
“Jingzhou! Don’t be afraid of her!” Liu Yan immediately said, “She’s just slandering, I doubt she has any real evidence!”
Liu Yan continued to provocatively stare at Bai Shilan, “Well, go on, show us. We’re all waiting to see!”
Unable to hold back any longer, Bai Shilan spoke calmly, “The hospital where my mother was staying has payment receipts from La Jingzhou.”
Liu Yan raised an eyebrow, “Oh? Is that it? Just that? Our Jingzhou was simply caring for a staff’s family member, that’s hardly any proof.”
Ye Xiao also said, “Shilan, that really isn’t conclusive.”
Bai Shilan was cornered, clenching her teeth, she said, “La Jingzhou has bought me several mansions, and lots of jewelry and accessories. There are receipts to prove that they were gifts from him.”
She didn’t want this.
She didn’t want to break things off with La Jingzhou either.
But now.
Did she have any other choice?
Liu Yan kept talking about sending her to prison.
But what about La Jingzhou?
He didn’t speak a word in her defense, just watching as Liu Yan slapped her in the face!
She could only save herself!
Otherwise.
After today, with the power of the La and Liu families, what good could she expect?
The items gifted by La Jingzhou would also be lost sooner or later.
Now. With so many witnesses around, and Ye Xiao and Ye Lin watching over her, if she didn’t speak up now, she might never get another chance to talk!
Liu Yan blinked, still looking entirely unconcerned, “All these things, for our Jingzhou, are just a drop in the bucket. You’ve made money for the company these past few years, consider it a reward, that’s perfectly normal.”
Bai Shilan’s face changed color.
Liu Yan was indifferent even to this?
What evidence could she possibly have then?
Today, she and La Jingzhou, are truly at the point of no return. If she cannot prove herself now, she’ll never have the chance again!
Ye Xiao sneaked a glance at the plot.
“Bai Shilan frantically recalled, trying to think of anything that could prove she had been illegally exploited by La Jingzhou. But such matters are inherently difficult to prove.
She couldn’t make others believe she was forced. So, even if she proved there was something between them, it would only add to La Jingzhou’s reputation for dalliance, hardly affecting him at all.”
Suddenly.
Bai Shilan thought of something.
La Jingzhou never kept much from her in how he conducted affairs.
She remembered.
In their love nest, he had met several executives from the Liu Family. Not long ago, a vice president from the Liu Family had secretly met with La Jingzhou, and the two of them had exchanged something in secret. That vice president had even given La Jingzhou a USB drive. This drive had been left by La Jingzhou in her study.
La Jingzhou had told her that his engagement with Liu Yan was just to get the Liu family. So, this USB drive must contain the secrets he had covertly obtained regarding the Liu family.
If she could find the USB drive, and present it in front of Liu Yan.
Perhaps the proud and radiant Miss Liu wouldn’t be able to maintain her composure then!
The man she deeply loved, had only used her from the beginning to the end!
She couldn’t wait to see Liu Yan’s angry and shattered face.
Bai Shilan was eager to mention the USB drive, but it was still in the villa. What if La Jingzhou claimed it beforehand, wouldn’t she be unable to prove anything again?
Bai Shilan hesitated.
Bai Shilan showed signs of hesitation.
Ye Xiao’s gaze, however, shifted slightly.
Wow.
There was this nifty USB drive.
She certainly had to lend a hand to Bai Shilan then.
Ye Xiao, with a gleeful grin, made a small edit directly.
A one-time tweak of two characters.
It cost her dearly!
It wasn’t easy for her to pit La Jingzhou against Bai Shilan and sever their relationship completely!
She wanted to see.
With things having come this far, these two could no longer continue their passionate love affair.
Ye Xiao directly changed it.
“…the USB drive was placed by La Jingzhou in her study.”
Into.
“…the USB drive was placed by La Jingzhou in her handbag.”
Bai Shilan was still hesitating.
Ye Xiao had already spoken righteously, “Shilan, with things the way they are, do you still want to show mercy? You’ve prepared the truly fatal evidence long ago, haven’t you?”
Bai Shilan looked at Ye Xiao somewhat bewildered.
Hmm?
Had she prepared it?
What had she prepared, and why didn’t she know?
“You!” Ye Xiao looked at her with frustration, as if disappointed in her: “You’re simply too kind-hearted!”
Ye Xiao took Bai Shilan’s handbag from the side and opened it.
Indeed.
There was now an additional small USB drive inside the handbag.
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.
Although the system could sometimes be stingy and liked to patch things up last minute, but.
It never failed her at critical moments!
Ye Xiao took out the USB drive directly: “This is it!”
A USB drive?
What did this mean?
While everyone was puzzled, La Jingzhou’s expression changed drastically.
He looked at Bai Shilan with disbelief.
What was on this USB drive, he knew too well.
What he didn’t expect was!
Bai Shilan would actually carry such a thing with her.
A murderous look flashed through La Jingzhou’s eyes.
He suddenly understood everything.
Bai Shilan attending this banquet clearly had come prepared to betray him.
She’d go so far as to steal the USB drive in her attempts to connect with Ye Lin, all to help the Ye Family take him down.
No wonder!
No wonder Ye Xiao had been speaking up for her.
No wonder Ye Bolin had also defended her just now!
Bai Shilan, she had long been bought off by the Ye Family!
La Jingzhou had thought everyone could betray her, but he never expected Bai Shilan to betray him too!
Wasn’t he good enough to her?
Did his trust in her deserve such an outcome?
La Jingzhou, with a grim face, reached out, intending to snatch the USB drive.
Ye Xiao, prepared, quickly slipped away and hid behind Gu Yan.
Ye Bolin glanced over and slightly furrowed his brow.
What was going on.
He and Gu Yan were standing together.
Why didn’t Xiaoxiao hide behind him!
Ye Bolin immediately glared at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan seemed not to notice, protecting Ye Xiao behind him, and looked at La Jingzhou with a half-smile, “President La, if you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear from a crooked shadow. It’s just a USB drive. No need to get angry.”
La Jingzhou’s face darkened, “The USB drive contains La Family secrets! This is theft of confidential information. If it’s not returned, don’t blame me for taking legal action.”
Ye Xiao peeked out from behind Gu Yan, “If you put it that way, then I really might get scared. But the content of this USB drive is hardly La Family secrets, I’m afraid.”
Liu Yan realized something, her expression subtly changed, and her gaze landed on the USB drive.
