Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 473 - Press Conference



Chapter 473 – Press Conference

"Oh! This is a great idea! Hahaha! We will shut their mouths with our real reports!"

"En."

"Great! I will make the arrangements for the tests to be done again."

"Okay. Talk to you later."

Xinyi then got a few calls from their concerned employees about the situation.

"Don't worry. Keep working. Mr. Mu and I will work to prove our innocence."

"Yes, Mam."

Liao Yuan sipped on his whiskey as he heard the news. "Doing fresh quality tests once again in front of the media?"

He looked ahead in deep thought. "I will call you back."

He smiled. 

"Hmm. That was a good move, Xinyi. I managed to get the fake reports in place, so you thought of doing the tests once again. Nice. That's what I like about you so much."

He let out a deep breath.

This will be tricky…

Doing live testing in front of the media to prove their innocence is a good idea. But it will be bad for me. I cannot let this happen.

He scrolled through the news and saw that the press conference is set for tomorrow. 

He chuckled. "You are so desperate to save Zhiyuan. It's been only a few days, and you cannot see him in jail."

What can I do by tomorrow?

He raised his brow and dialed a number. "Do one thing tonight. From the construction site, replace the cement and the other materials they use with low quality stuff. Outer packing should be exactly the same. But when they open the contents tomorrow…the test should fail."

"Yes, Boss."

Liao Yuan sighed and poured himself another glass of whiskey.

"Yo, son," his father, Liao Yun, knocked on the door. "What are you doing?"

He shrugged. "Nothing. Just read the news. Xinyi is keeping a press conference to prove Zhiyuan's innocence."

"Ah," he shook his head. "Things are going out of control for them, isn't it? No matter what happens, they cannot seem to live in peace."

He narrowed his eyes. "Well…peace is not an option in their life."

As long as I am there.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing. Where were you? Why do you like to short-circuit Grandpa's fuse so much?"

He laughed. "Dad was always like that. It doesn't take much to make him angry. Was he shouting again?"

"And I have to listen to it always. Geez. You are so bothersome. Just talk with him so that he doesn't eat my head over you."

Liao Yun smacked his head. "That's rude. I am your father. You should protect me and do your filial duties."

"I always have been protecting you," he rolled his eyes. "Have some mercy on your son."

He chuckled. "Anyway. It's too late. Go to sleep already. You won't find a woman if you have dark circles under your eyes."

"I will be handsome nevertheless."

"Arrogant."

Liao Yun left his son's room. He stared at Xinyi's picture on his phone and smiled. "So what will you do tomorrow, Xinyi?"

The next day, the reporters had gathered at the site of the hotel where the construction was taking place. It was put on halt after the accusations came to light.

Han Tian said, "Don't be nervous, Xinyi. We will slap the tests on their cameras and let them see for themselves."

Mu Chuanli sneered. "I will sue each and every media outlet who defamed us. Just let the results come out."

The conference had started and the samples were already sent for testing. Currently, everybody was awaiting results. Han Guang and Han Mingli had come too to witness the embarrassment that Xinyi would have to face.

Keung glared at her. "Will you stop showing that expression? You would make everybody feel as if you are plotting something."

Han Guang hit him. "Shut up. I just can't wait to see Xinyi lose."

He looked away in frustration.

A while later after waiting for a long time, the results were finally out. The representative from the lead QA testing company arrived with an envelope in his hand. 

The reporters quickly gathered. "Please show us the test results."

"Have Han Zhiyuan been using low quality materials for their construction?"

The representative cleared his throat. "Please sit down, everyone. I have the results in my hand. I will be announcing it now."

Xinyi clasped her hands together and waited.

He tore open the envelope and took out a piece of paper.

From his office, Liao Yuan was watching the conference on his tab. He faintly smiled.

At the site, the representative read the report for a minute and faced the reporters. "According to the new QA testing done for all the materials being used to build all the hotels, it has been confirmed that…"

The reporters eagerly waited.

"Each and every material used is of the highest quality. They have passed all the endurance and quality checks from our side and we deem it fit to be used for construction."

Xinyi let out a relieved sigh. Han Tian and Mu Chuanli brightened.

"Hahaha! Didn't I tell you all? You dare question our ethics! Just you wait until I sue you all for defamation!"

Liao Yuan widened his eyes and sat upright in his seat, startled.

How did this happen?

Han Guang and Han Mingli gasped in shock.

How is this possible! This wasn't supposed to happen? Didn't they fail the tests before?

The reporters were quite stunned. "The tests passed?"

"If that is so, then what about the allegations before?"

"How can two reports be different?"

"That means Han Zhiyuan is innocent!"

Xinyi came forward and said, "Please sit down. The tests were just one part of the reasons why I set up the conference. There is something else too which I would like to show you all."

Just then Yunru's police car stopped at the site, and he stepped out with Zhiyuan.

He anxiously looked at Xinyi, worried about her. But she smiled and seemed fine to his relief.

Yunru stepped up and said, "I am Chief Soo Yunru, and an interesting development happened last night."

The officers pushed a man forward, who seemed to be resisting and showed extreme nervousness.

Liao Yuan stared at the man in the video.

What the hell…

Yunru said, "Late last night, we caught this man doing some suspicious activity at this site premise. Can you all guess what he might be doing?"
