Xiao Xu was thrilled.
But she was worried too. This was no small matter.
What would happen if word got out after she accepted Lu Chengwen's gift? What if the matter could not be covered up? What if someone found out?
Xiao Xu spoke impeccably. "CEO Lu, I truly want to help you, but the three people from Ba Dao Sect really were injured."
Lu Chengwen said, "That's why this matter must be investigated to the end!"
"Huh?"
Lu Chengwen said, "Because this matter no longer concerns only Ba Dao Sect. It also concerns the reputation of our Yan Zhao Sect!"
Xiao Xu suddenly understood. "Right, right! Exactly!"
Lu Chengwen said, "We have to prove that Yan Zhao Sect had nothing to do with their injuries."
"But the three people from Ba Dao Sect have already said so. They even said you turned into a black man and beat up your own people or something..."
Lu Chengwen shook his head. "President Xu."
"No, no, no, just call me Xiao Xu."
"Xiao Xu."
"Yes."
"For this sort of thing, whoever makes the accusation has to provide the evidence, right?"
"Right."
"If they say we did it, they need to produce evidence, don't they? Otherwise, I could say those three were having gay sex and started fighting over who went first. Would that automatically make what I said true? Don't they need evidence before making an accusation?"
"But there really is video footage. Your two brothers really did leave with them."
"Exactly!" Lu Chengwen said. "The chain of evidence is completely insufficient. Where were they beaten up?"
"The small woods to the west."
"The three of us never even went to the small woods to the west!"
Lu Chengwen turned and asked Zhao Ritian and Long Aotian, "Isn't that right?"
Zhao Ritian
