In the teahouse private room, Tian Rong got straight to the point: "Zhou Kai, you should know who helped you get to where you are today. You should also know that once the matter is exposed, you can't escape responsibility. After all, you received the money, 1.2 million transferred to your mother's account, and I still have the remittance receipt."
"Sister Tian, I really didn't tell anyone. I didn't mention a word to anyone, including my parents." Zhou Kai said sincerely.
Tian Rong stared at Zhou Kai doubtfully: "Do you swear?"
"I swear, if I leak even a single word, I'll get hit by a car and die when I go out."
Tian Rong pondered and said, "Then think carefully about which link will go wrong and someone will get hold of it."
"Sister Tian, what could go wrong on my end? Ning Xi only gave me a verbal order to transfer money to the Qizhi School, and there was no approval or signature. Ning Xi trusted me very much, and I did a lot of things first, and then completed the formalities. At that time, she accompanied Su Ran to film outside, and when they came back, the donation fraud had already broken out. As long as I don't admit that Ning Xi gave the order, they won't be able to find any handle on me. Sister Tian, is there a problem on your end?" Zhou Kai asked.
This matter was brought up again and it caused such a big fuss that Zhou Kai was panicking. He now has a stable career and a good income. He has bought a house and a car, found a girlfriend, and is planning to get married next year. He doesn't want any complications and have his years of hard work ruined.
Tian Rong said, "I will handle my case. As long as you keep your mouth shut, there will be no problem. Let me confirm one last time. Is it true that no one has contacted you? And you haven't disclosed it to anyone?"
Zhou Kai was depressed: "Sister Tian, I'm not stupid. What good will it do me if I expose this matter?"
"Okay, that's it. I think there will be reporters looking for you next, so please be careful with your words."
"Don't worry, no matter how they ask, I'll still say the same things I said three years ago."
"I'll go first. You'd better come out in a few minutes." Tian Rong said.
Yu Li immediately informed He Tong: "Their conversation is over, Tian Rong is coming out soon, and Zhou Kai will be late."
He Tong picked up the camera and took a picture when Tian Rong walked out of the teahouse.
After a while, Zhou Kai also came out. He Tong walked towards Zhou Kai quickly from the side with his head down and bumped into him.
He Tong was a big man with strong muscles, while Zhou Kai was just a weak scholar. He was knocked down by He Tong and his bag fell off.
He Tong picked up the bag, took the bug, threw the bag at Zhou Kai, and said fiercely: "You don't have eyes when you walk? You deserve a beating."
Then he walked away.
Zhou Kai dared not speak out, he could only admit defeat when he met an unreasonable psychopath. He was really unlucky today. He was hit by a car when he went out, and just now he was hit by someone. Zhou Kai felt very bad. Did this mean that something was going to happen? He quickly got up. It seemed that he had better take a leave and go home to hide for the next few days.
He Tong walked about ten meters away and looked back at Zhou Kai. Zhou Kai didn't notice him, so He Tong picked up the camera and took a picture of Zhou Kai and the teahouse.
In Su Ran's studio, Su Ran, Ning Xi, Yu Li, and Wei Lun were all there.
After listening to the recording, Wei Lun was filled with righteous indignation and said, "It's too despicable. Such a person is still a star and has so many fans. If her fans knew that their idol was such a despicable person, would they pierce their eyes?"
Yu Li laughed: "Don't worry, no one will gouge out their own eyes. It's no big deal if they stop being fans. Just wait and see. Even if we release this recording, there will still be stupid fans who will speak up for her."
"Let's not consider what the outcome will be for her. Let the public judge. I just want to clarify the donation fraud and clear Su Ran's name." Ning Xi's eyes were a little moist. It had been three years, and she had been holding this anger for three years. The more angry she was, the more self-blame she felt.
If she hadn't trusted Zhou Kai too much, if she had followed up in time, perhaps Lin Ying's conspiracy would not have succeeded.
After the incident, Su Ran was scolded so badly, and the whole network blackened her. The dramas she had signed were lost, the endorsements she had obtained were lost, and even the dramas she had filmed cannot be released until now. Overnight, the halo faded away, and only the infamy was left. However, Su Ran never complained about her. She wanted to stand up and take responsibility, but Su Ran disagreed. Su Ran said... Even if you stand up, no one will believe you, so why bother to involve yourself.
I really don’t know how I managed to get through these three years. Sometimes I would wake up from a dream in the middle of the night, covered in cold sweats.
Fortunately, they did not give up. The truth may be late, but it finally came.
"Su Su, I want to cry..." Ning Xi hugged Su Ran and sobbed silently.
Su Ran patted Ning Xi on the back and sneered: "If you want to cry because you are happy, then cry!"
No one understood Ning Xi's mood at this moment better than her. She also wanted to cry. She could finally prove herself. She was no longer the Su Ran who defrauded donations. Really, it didn't matter what people scolded her for, but she couldn't accept the moral stain. She lived a clean life and did good deeds sincerely, but she was accused of defrauding donations. How embarrassing it was.
Yu Li and Wei Lun felt sad when they saw the two of them hugging each other, laughing and crying together.
It's not a pleasant feeling to be wronged. You have no place to complain and no one believes you. You are despised and insulted, and it almost ruined your acting career. Fortunately, God has eyes, and those who have harmed others, now it's your turn.
He Tong came back and shouted excitedly as soon as he entered the door: "The photo was taken."
"Bring it here and let me see it." Yu Li said.
"The time they went in and the time they came out were all in the same teahouse. It's clear. Let's see how they can argue now." He Tongdao.
Yu Li nodded: "These photos and recordings put together are irrefutable evidence."
If there was only a recording, some people might say that it was forged. However, if there were a recording plus photos, its credibility would be greatly increased.
"Sister Su Ran, should we give these to my master or..." Yu Li asked.
Su Ran thought about it and said, "I'll post it myself."
It has been three years, and she wants to personally give an explanation to the fans who once supported her and clear her name.
"Well, let's send it ourselves." Ning Xi agreed.
"Okay, then I'll tell Master that next Monday, Master will first release the evidence that they bought press releases and hired internet trolls to discredit Sister Su Ran, and let them continue to do so. Buying press releases and hiring internet trolls also cost money. When they have done enough, you can release this recording and photos. It will be something exciting to watch next Monday." Yu Li clenched her fists, full of fighting spirit.
Next Monday, the decisive battle.
Su Ran said with emotion: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I don't know how long I would have to bear this blame."
She was really grateful, to Yu Li, to He Tong, and to Yang Fan. When Yu Li came to her, she didn't have much hope. She thought, perhaps the person she should thank the most was... Instructor Han.
Although she didn't see what Instructor Han did, she could feel that there was an invisible hand behind the scenes controlling everything.
