Wang Yu's face was as dark as if she had eaten shit, and she felt it burning with a fiery pain. Just last night, she had eagerly arranged this press conference and hyped it up to draw as much attention as possible. It was all to kick Xu Ke out of the Wang Family and force Wong Qifu to concede.

And now? It's become his personal stage, a space for him to openly slap everyone in the face.

Wang Yu felt she had suffered a devastating loss.

How could this lowlife, who tells people to eat shit at a press conference, actually be accepted by the public? No. She would never allow it.

She took out her phone and scrolled to a contact—Wang Tianlu.

「The Western Restaurant.」

"Chang Xiujuan and Siao Fan have been taken away."

When Yang Qing received the news, her expression had already turned quite sour. The taste of a second defeat was hard to swallow.

"Isn't this what you expected?" Sun Luo glanced at Yang Qing.

Huang Sheng and Huang Zhenyang also looked over at her.

Yang Qing nodded. "Indeed. Xu Ke has more than enough evidence to take down Shan Lan and Chang Xiujuan. I intended to sacrifice them from the beginning." She paused. "Still, it's a bit unsettling."

Sun Luo, however, didn't seem to care in the least. He still wore the smug look of someone sure of victory. "It doesn't matter. All I want to see is how he handles the accusations of abandoning his relatives and raping you."

Yang Qing's accusation was the most brilliant move. Although it couldn't get Xu Ke arrested, they had never planned on completely destroying him anyway. They just wanted to saddle him with a baseless stain on his reputation. That was enough.

Sun Luo turned to Huang Sheng. "Huang Sheng, have your family's reporters put some effort in. Tell them to stop being silent." He added, "And ask the questions cleverly. Don't be like that fool from before who gave Xu Ke a chance to explain."

"Yes, Elder Sun," Huang Sheng replied.

Satisfied, Sun Luo turned his attention back to the live stream.

After Xu Ke briefly answered a few more questions, a reporter from the Huang Family's media stood up.

"Mister Xu, my name is Ding Anzhi. Hello. I have a few questions for you."

Ding Anzhi was a mild-mannered, middle-aged man with framed glasses and an incredibly approachable smile.

Seeing him stand, the crowd was momentarily startled. This was a famous reporter from the Huang Family's media conglomerate.

"Mr. Ding, please," Xu Ke said with a smile.

"May I ask if you truly borrowed money from your second aunt and third uncle?" Ding Anzhi asked, his smile gentle.

Hearing the question, Xu Ke's gaze sharpened instantly.

The other reporters were secretly impressed. Now *this* is a professional! This question had nothing to do with last night's show, *The Dialogue*. However, anyone following today's events knew that just last night, Xu Feng'an and the others had accused Xu Ke of borrowing money and never paying it back. Ding Anzhi's question was designed to make Xu Ke admit to the fact, indirectly confirming that his relatives' accusations were true and nailing him to the pillar of shame once and for all.

Everyone's expressions grew complex. They were eager to see how Xu Ke would respond.

His face unchanging, Xu Ke replied, "When are you referring to?"

"When you needed to buy a house." Ding Anzhi's gentle, scholarly smile never faltered.

Xu Ke chuckled. "I did ask to borrow from them, but—"

Ding Anzhi's smile widened as he cut Xu Ke off. "I understand. Thank you for your answer."

To Ding Anzhi, it didn't matter if they had actually given Xu Ke the money. All that mattered was that he had *asked* to borrow. As long as he had asked, they could use it against him.

Witnessing this, Wang Wu and Lin Qinghua, who were hidden from sight, instantly tensed up. This is starting to look bad.

As for Xu Ke, he showed no sign of annoyance at being interrupted. In fact, he was still smiling.

Seeing this, the reporters below couldn't help but wonder. Why isn't Xu Ke telling Ding Anzhi to eat shit?

Ding Anzhi quickly changed the subject. "Then, Mister Xu, did your aunt and third uncle recently come to Tianhai looking for you?"

"They did," Xu Ke nodded again.

Ding Anzhi smiled. "And do you know where they stayed afterward?"

Xu Ke smiled back. "Is that important?"

Ding Anzhi immediately backed down. "No, not at all. I was just curious. Since you mind, I won't ask."

As he finished, many reporters took a silent, sharp breath. Ding Anzhi's tactic of feigning a retreat was brilliant!

Seeing Xu Ke seemingly on the ropes, some of the rookie reporters finally understood. So *that's* how you're supposed to ask questions!

Sure enough, when the live stream viewers saw Ding Anzhi immediately back down because Xu Ke "minded," they grew indignant. "See? Xu Ke has a guilty conscience! He doesn't dare to answer!" "What his relatives said yesterday must be true. He borrowed money and didn't pay it back, then kicked them out of their hotel!" "Look, he's not even denying it now." "He was so sharp-tongued before, refuting everything. Now he can't say a word. He must have wronged his relatives."

"Then, Mister Xu, I have more questions." After getting Xu Ke's go-ahead, Ding Anzhi once again shifted topics. He had expected Xu Ke to get flustered and angry at such heavily leading questions. After all, anyone could see that he was deliberately setting traps.

But to his surprise, Xu Ke remained perfectly calm. "Please continue."

Seeing this, Ding Anzhi felt a flicker of unease, but he didn't let it show. He continued his inquiry. "According to Ms. Yang's lengthy post, did she really fall down outside your apartment building that night?"

"Weren't there photos?" Xu Ke smiled. The implication was clear: it was photographed, so why ask?

"Understood." Ding Anzhi nodded, pressing on. "Then, may I ask, did Miss Yang Qing ever use the key she obtained from Lady Siao to open the door to your residence in the urban village?"

He only asked about facts, never once mentioning rape. But every question was framed to make Xu Ke seem like a rapist.

Xu Ke's demeanor remained unchanged. "Didn't she already say so herself?"

This time, however, Ding Anzhi didn't let him off. "As journalists, we need to actively verify the statements from both parties." He added pointedly, "That's what *you* just taught us, Mister Xu."

Seeing Ding Anzhi's smug and sarcastic demeanor, Wang Wu took a deep breath from the shadows. I want to kill this man.

Duan Chongfeng, who was watching the live stream on his phone, looked grim. "Duan Jia, find out where this Ding Anzhi came from."

"Understood," Duan Jia replied.

Xu Ke's response was concise. "She did indeed come over."

The moment he spoke, the room erupted.

Yang Qing actually went to Xu Ke's place at night?

The audience watching the live stream instantly exploded. "Tsk, tsk... his ex-girlfriend's best friend went to his house late at night?" "Wong Qifu's got a green hat on her head now." "Hahaha, even the CEO of a ten-billion-dollar enterprise can't escape being cuckolded." "Shouldn't the police have arrested Xu Ke by now? He's a rapist who abandoned his family! It's an outrage to gods and men!"
