As Zhu Jianfeng's words fell, the entire hall fell into silence.
Upon hearing his statement, Hao Changrong's expression turned grim. He stared at Zhu Jianfeng and asked word by word, "Director Zhu, what do you mean by that?"
Zhu Jianfeng declared in a loud voice, "I mean Cheng Xiaofan has personality problems!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Heng was about to stand up in anger but was held back by Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan winked at Zhang Heng, signaling him to calm down,
And let Zhu Jianfeng say what he had to say.
Hao Changrong's face turned ashen. He said, "Director Zhu,"
"Food is good to eat, but ill-considered words are not."
"I want to ask you, on what grounds do you claim Cheng Xiaofan has personality problems?"
Zhu Jianfeng sneered coldly and said, "According to the information I received before I came,"
"Yesterday, the King of Danwan Country, when seeing off the Huaxia team for their departure,"
"Presented everyone with a pure gold statue weighing ten kilograms,"
"As a souvenir for their expedition to Danwan Country."
"But—"
He pointed at Cheng Xiaofan furiously with his finger, "But he unilaterally made the decision,"
"To revoke the gifts for the other six people!"
Hao Changrong asked, "Which six people?"
Zhu Jianfeng's lips twitched slightly,
And he said, "They were Zhu Bailin and Lei Chu, along with four others."
"What's even more infuriating is that they were all members of the Huaxia expedition to Danwan Country,"
"And after only a few days, Cheng Xiaofan, citing personal grudges,"
"Forcibly escorted them back!"
Cheng Xiaofan found it somewhat amusing.
What kind of father was he,
And how was his son escorted back?
Did he not even have a clue?
At this moment, Hao Changrong looked towards Cheng Xiaofan,
And asked with a smile, "Student Cheng Xiaofan,"
"Is there such a thing?"
Judging by Hao Changrong's expression,
Cheng Xiaofan knew that Zhang Heng had already communicated with him beforehand.
Only Zhu Jianfeng remained in the dark,
And was acting arrogant here, relying on his influence.
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but smile slightly and said,
"That's right, I took it upon myself,"
"To escort Zhu Bailin and others back early!"
Seeing the questioning gazes from everyone present,
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but smile faintly and said,
"I know you are all very curious as to why I did this,"
"But do you know, Zhu Bailin and Lei Chu,"
"Went to the red-light district upon arriving in Danwan Country,"
"Not only did they refuse to pay the women, but they also beat them severely. The women reported the incident,"
"And they were arrested by the police. If not for my intervention,"
"These two would have been sent to prison."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall erupted in discussion.
"I never thought such a thing would happen!"
"It's a disgrace to us Chinese people!"
"As members of the expedition to Danwan Country,"
"To commit such shameful acts that degrade national dignity!"
Hearing the discussions, Zhu Jianfeng's face lost its composure.
He roared in shame and anger, "It's all nonsense!"
"My son Zhu Bailin would never do such a thing!"
"Don't believe what that guy surnamed Cheng says, he's slandering us!"
"I can attest that Mr. Cheng's words are all factual,"
At this moment, Xiang Wanli stood up and said, "Zhu Bailin and Lei Chu,"
"Not only went to the red-light district, but they also contracted the Apocalypse Virus."
"If Mr. Cheng hadn't used his internal energy to seal the virus within them,"
"These two would have died long ago!"
"Silence!"
Zhu Jianfeng, enraged, shouted at Xiang Wanli, "Xiang Wanli,"
"I heard from Zhu Bailin that you and that guy surnamed Cheng,"
"Got into the same bed as soon as you arrived in Danwan Country, so of course you're going to side with him."
"It can be said that Zhu Bailin and the others being escorted back early,"
"Was a conspiracy between you and Cheng Xiaofan!"
"Do you believe me when I say,"
"I will fire you directly for this matter!"
"Director Zhu, please watch your words!"
Yang Jiguo said, his face ashen with anger,
"Xiang Wanli is an unmarried woman."
"You claim she slept with Mr. Cheng, please provide evidence."
"What kind of person is your son, don't you truly know?"
Although Yang Jiguo knew that his niece and Cheng Xiaofan had indeed slept together,
He still had to stand up and speak out to protect the image of an unmarried woman.
Besides, besides him, no one else knew about this matter,
And he would not allow Zhu Jianfeng to spout such nonsense.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said,
"This is what they mean by 'the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked.' Like father, like son!"
Zhu Jianfeng roared in exasperation, "Cheng Xiaofan,"
"What do you mean by that?"
"If you don't give me a clear explanation today,"
"I will absolutely not let you off!"
Hao Changrong's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water.
A celebratory banquet had been ruined like this by Zhu Jianfeng,
Making him so angry he felt like he would explode.
However, due to Zhang Heng's prior communication,
He could only forcibly suppress the anger in his heart.
He tapped the table with his hand and said,
"Director Zhu, please mind your tone!"
Cheng Xiaofan cleared his throat with a composed air.
At this moment, he still had a smile on his face,
And said, "Zhu Jianfeng, you want me to explain clearly, right?"
"Alright, then I will elaborate."
"As for scumbags like your son with his moral depravity,"
"I won't even mention them. Let's talk about parasites like you,"
"From what I know, there is a secret underground chamber in your residence."
"This chamber stores over 300 million Huaxia currency, plus one ton of gold."
"May I ask where this income of yours comes from?"
"You..."
Zhu Jianfeng was struck by lightning, his entire body petrified on the spot.
He could never have imagined that Cheng Xiaofan would know about such a strictly private matter through what channel.
"You surnamed Cheng, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly and said, "Am I spouting nonsense?"
"Send someone to investigate, and everything will be clear."
"Oh, right—"
"Three years ago, there was a missing person case involving a girl named Mu Qingyao."
"It's also related to you, Zhu Jianfeng, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present
Turned their attention to Zhu Jianfeng.
Mu Qingyao was the daughter of a powerful figure in the capital.
She disappeared the day after returning from overseas three years ago.
That powerful figure offered a reward of one hundred million yuan to find his daughter,
But the police had not found any clues to this day.
Zhu Jianfeng trembled as if electrocuted.
His sinister eyes were fixed on Cheng Xiaofan, 138 Reading Network
He roared, "Kid, what nonsense are you spouting again?"
Although his voice was loud,
His imposing manner had clearly weakened.
Cheng Xiaofan, however, appeared remarkably calm,
And said with a smile, "Zhu Jianfeng, I know your inner world has collapsed."
"There's nothing you can do. What people do, heaven sees."
"Don't think that because you have some power,"
"You can act recklessly!"
