"What is this?"

As the documents were flipped through, murmurs of surprise rose from the crowd.

"Mr. Lynn,"

At this moment, the Finance Minister seated to He Ao's right hurriedly looked up at him. "My daughter got into that high school through the entrance exam fair and square. I didn't use any improper means. I didn't even write her a recommendation letter."

He Ao raised a hand, signaling him to calm down first.

"Mayor Lynn,"

Vittel, seated farther back at the conference table, spoke with both nervousness and anger. "This is a false accusation. I only drank too much that day. The suitcase contained a suit my wife had custom-made. It happened to arrive, so I had it delivered to me."

"Lynn, Vittel may be a little impulsive and enjoy having fun,"

Lant, seated beside He Ao, rose slightly and stood at his side. He said quietly, "but he knows right from wrong. He wouldn't do something like this."

"They can testify for me."

At this moment, Vittel looked at the two "friends" beside him who had just been chatting and laughing with him. "We went to the bar together that day. They saw the man delivering the suit arrive too. I even joked with them about how he used a suitcase to carry it. Pretty fancy, wasn't it?"

He looked at his silent friends. "Say something."

"That day, we were indeed with Vittel,"

the man to his left slowly said. "But we went to the restroom midway through. When we came back, we saw a suitcase in his hand. He said it held a suit, but... judging by the weight, it didn't seem like a suit."

Vittel relaxed slightly at the first half of the statement, but when he heard the latter half, he snapped, "What do you mean?"
