Saving his second brother

Yan Wen took the microphone from Mu Xu Ci. "Perfect timing. I have some videos to share with everyone."

Footage appeared on the large screen, crystal clear and uncensored.

The people in the video were Mu Xu Ci, Bai Qianqian, and Gao Zhen.

Mu Xu Ci was dead drunk, relying entirely on Gao Zhen and Bai Qianqian to hold him up. They helped him into a hotel, and everyone clearly saw both of them take him into a room. But only Gao Zhen came out.

Someone said, "Maybe Chairman Mu kicked him out?"

"Exactly. Maybe he was afraid of offending Chairman Mu."

Bai Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought the son the Mu Family had taken back might actually be capable of something.

Yan Wen said unhurriedly, "The video isn't over yet. You can comment after you've watched it."

The next video showed Bai Qianqian and Gao Zhen sitting in a café, apparently discussing something.

As everyone speculated, the video's audio began to play.

Gao Zhen said, "Are you sure everything's ready? No loose ends?"

Bai Qianqian slowly stirred her coffee. "Relax. I took photos. Mu Xu Ci will never clear his name. Besides... the baby in my belly is the best proof. Once I produce the prenatal test report and the photos, Mu Xu Ci is finished."

"Good. Very good. Once I destroy Mu Xu Ci, let's see who else dares oppose me. I've put up with him for far too long. Why the hell am I always second to him?"

Bai Qianqian spoke in a soft, coy voice. "Zhen, this is your first child I'm carrying. You can't go back on your promise."

Gao Zhen reached over and covered her hand with his. "Don't worry. Once this is done, I'll marry you."

The video ended there. Bai Qianqian broke into a cold sweat, disbelief filling her eyes. "Where did you get these videos? No, they aren't real! These videos are fake!"

Notifications chimed on everyone's phones at once. Holding the microphone, Yan Wen said, "Everyone, the videos you just watched have been sent to your phones. Feel free to have any expert authenticate them. If anyone finds even the slightest evidence of fabrication, the Mu Family will accept responsibility for this incident."

Bai Qianqian was still struggling. "No, that's not true! That video isn't real! I still have my prenatal test report. The baby I'm carrying is Mu Xu Ci's!"

Yan Wen gave her a faint, knowing smile. "Really? I was just wondering how to bring that up. Thank you."

A chill ran through Bai Qianqian. The next second, another video appeared on the screen, showing her undergoing a prenatal examination in a hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department. The date was four months ago.

Yan Wen asked with a smile, "Aren't you only three months pregnant, Miss Bai? Why did you go for a prenatal examination four months ago?"

"No, this video is fake! I have my prenatal test report, and it says three months. The person in that video isn't me!"

Yan Wen clicked his tongue. Even a dead duck's beak isn't as stubborn as she is. Once this is over, we should send her to a military base so they can study her mouth to develop body armor.

The members of the Mu Family nearly laughed when they heard that, but held it in. This was no time to laugh.

Xiao Qi said, Host, Gao Zhen will arrive in ten minutes.

He has a part to play today too?

In a little while, Gao Zhen will storm in and demand to know why Mu Xu Ci took advantage of Bai Qianqian. He'll say Bai Qianqian is his girlfriend, that Mu Xu Ci took advantage of her and got her pregnant. Gao Zhen had planned to marry her, but because of Mu Xu Ci, they can no longer be together. He'll demand an explanation from Mu Xu Ci.

Then he's too late. We've already played the videos, and everyone knows Bai Qianqian is carrying his child. No matter how much of a fuss he makes when he gets here, he'll only humiliate himself.

Yan Wen leisurely brought up two more videos, both showing Bai Qianqian attending prenatal examinations at the hospital, spanning from four months ago to last week.

Yan Wen asked, "Miss Bai, these videos were copied directly from surveillance footage. If you think we're falsely accusing you, feel free to call the police and let them investigate."

Bai Qianqian clutched her skirt. "I... I remembered wrong. It's four months. There must be a mistake on the prenatal test report."

"Are you sure you're four months pregnant? Weren't you insisting just now that it was three months?"

"I... I remembered wrong. It's four months. The hospital put the wrong date on the report."

Yan Wen smiled and applauded. "Tell me, Miss Bai, how did you manage to become four months pregnant when you only slept with my second brother three months ago?"

Everyone realized Bai Qianqian and Gao Zhen had staged the whole thing to frame Mu Xu Ci. They pointed at Bai Qianqian and whispered among themselves. Some of the more hot-tempered guests spat at her, while others hurled filthy insults.

As he enjoyed the spectacle, Yan Wen praised Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi, this feature of yours is fantastic. Not only can you retrieve surveillance footage without leaving a trace, you can even generate videos of places with no cameras. And they're one hundred percent authentic, with nothing added.

Host, Xiao Qi can develop even more powerful features. As long as you keep working hard at following the drama, they'll be ready in no time.

Just then, Gao Zhen stormed in. "Mu Xu Ci! What did you do to Qianqian, you bastard?"

Host, aren't you going to do something?

What's the rush? It's not every day we get to watch a clown perform. We can enjoy the show before getting to work.

Mu Xu Ci, who had been about to argue back, swallowed his words. True, watching these two ungrateful scumbags put on their little act was quite entertaining.

Seeing Gao Zhen arrive, Bai Qianqian frantically signaled him with her eyes, trying to make him stop. But Gao Zhen was so caught up in his performance that he failed to understand her looks.

"Qianqian, don't worry. I'll get justice for you." Gao Zhen pointed at Mu Xu Ci onstage. "Mu Xu Ci, Bai Qianqian is my girlfriend, and you're my best friend. You actually went after your friend's girlfriend? I haven't even touched Qianqian yet. How dare you?"

Now, Mu Xu Ci found those words nothing but laughable. Bai Qianqian was practically contorting her face with frantic signals, yet that idiot Gao Zhen hadn't understood a single one.

Yan Wen cut off Gao Zhen's endless tirade and raised the microphone. "Why don't you check your email? There's an unexpected surprise waiting for you."

Frowning, Gao Zhen opened his phone, and the video of him and Bai Qianqian in the café began to play.

Gao Zhen gripped his phone. "Impossible. This is fake! It's been doctored!"

Mu Xu Ci said, "We sent this video to everyone here. Anyone who doubts its authenticity can have an expert examine it. What else do you have to say, Gao Zhen?"

A mocking voice rose from the crowd. "His scheme backfired spectacularly. The Gao Family has really disgraced itself this time."

"Tell me about it. If he were in my family, I'd break his legs."

Gao Zhen collapsed to the floor. "This is impossible. I made sure everything was foolproof. How did you get this video?"

Mu Xu Ci said coldly, "I'll hand all these videos and evidence over to the police. Ci Li will also terminate all cooperation with the Gao Family. Gao Zhen, you dared to frame me. Now prepare to pay the price."

Gao Zhen climbed to his feet and laughed. "So what if you tell the police? Don't forget the Gao Family's standing."

Yan Wen said, "Have you forgotten the Mu Family's standing? What if we insist on pursuing this?"

Only then did Gao Zhen seem to realize that the Mu Family stood far above the Gao Family.

Gao Zhen hurriedly dropped to his knees and kowtowed, pushing all the blame onto Bai Qianqian. Seeing him throw her under the bus, Bai Qianqian rushed off the stage and started fighting with him.

But Bai Qianqian was a woman, and her strength was ultimately no match for Gao Zhen's. He shoved her to the floor. Clutching her belly, she grimaced in agony as blood seeped out beneath her.

Yan Wen nudged Mu Xu Ci. "Call the police and an ambulance."

After making all the arrangements, Mu Xu Ci felt thoroughly relieved. "There's no way Gao Zhen is escaping prison now."

Yan Wen nodded. This is finally over. I'll treat myself to some crayfish later as a proper reward.

The corners of Mu Xu Ci's mouth lifted slightly. He did something on his phone, and a notification sounded on Yan Wen's.

Ten million had been deposited into his account!

Yan Wen thought his phone was malfunctioning. Only after refreshing several times did he believe it was real.

Mu Xu Ci smiled. "I owe you my thanks for all that evidence. Consider this payment for your hard work. Buy whatever you want."
