“Oh no, Brother Hao! There’s a problem with our projector playback device, quick, turn around and take a look!”
Hearing this reminder, Brother Hao’s heart skipped a beat, and when he turned around, he was instantly stunned.
Because what was playing on the screen wasn’t the video Brother Hao had prepared to smear Hua Ling.
Instead, it was a video of Brother Hao reveling among women in a high-end club.
“You all saw it, right? This is the true face of the so-called respectable boss of Zheng Hao Group behind closed doors!”
At this moment, Xu Fei shouted loudly, looking like he was enjoying the chaos.
Brother Hao finally reacted, realising Xu Fei had come prepared, and quickly ordered his men to unplug the projector’s power.
The huge projector screen went black, and the noise at the scene died down.
Brother Hao hurriedly grabbed the microphone and addressed the crowd.
“Everyone, please calm down. There was an issue with our equipment, it got a virus, and that distasteful video was played.”
“I assure you, I’ve never been to such a place of debauchery. This video is clearly fabricated to slander me, and I hope everyone can forget it and delete any recordings you have.”
“If you all cooperate with us, I’ll personally have my staff give each of you a thousand-yuan red envelope as a token of appreciation!”
Brother Hao had just used similar tactics against Hua Ling, so he knew how serious the consequences would be if these scandalous images were recorded by the onlookers.
Although there were nearly a thousand spectators, and giving each a thousand yuan might cost him a million.
In Brother Hao’s view, spending a million to salvage his reputation was a very worthwhile deal.
The crowd were indeed just onlookers, and Brother Hao had precisely grasped their greed for small gains.
After his speech, they were swayed, deleting the videos from their phones and waiting for Brother Hao to fulfil his promise.
Xu Fei didn’t stop them, as this wasn’t his real goal.
Seeing Brother Hao finish speaking, Xu Fei stepped forward and snatched the microphone.
“You just said that video was maliciously edited to slander you, right?”
“Of course, everyone here knows what kind of person I am!”
Brother Hao told these lies without blushing or hesitating, utterly calm.
“If we follow your logic, then the video about Hua Ling that was played earlier was also clearly maliciously edited, wasn’t it?”
This was Xu Fei’s true purpose, deliberately baiting Brother Hao to bring the conversation to this point, to see how he’d respond.
At this stage, Brother Hao was in a dilemma, destined to lose no matter what he said.
Because Xu Fei had already enlisted Hell Ear to use their tech skills, working with Bai Zhan, who was operating in the shadows, to catch many of Brother Hao’s men.
Brother Hao, busy with the press conference, was still unaware.
If Brother Hao admitted it, it would be like exposing himself, but Xu Fei would face no consequences.
Because admitting it would mean Brother Hao’s video was real, while Xu Fei could bring ample witnesses to prove Hua Ling’s video was fake.
That would be no different from Brother Hao shooting himself in the foot.
If Brother Hao denied it, it would mean admitting Hua Ling’s video was fake, but Xu Fei had even more dirt to bring out.
