Chapter 394: What The F*ck?! Zi Yi is So Arrogant!
By the time Zi Yi finished her cup of milk, the fight on Lu Jingye’s side had also ended.
She opened her palms to retract the circular ball she had thrown out during the confusion and clicked her tongue. “When did the killer organization worsen to such an extent? It’s so boring, I’ve yet to enjoy myself.”
The group of killers who were beaten black and blue and had no strength to fight back almost vomited blood when they heard what she said.
Never in their imagination did they expect that they had not only failed to take care of Zi Yi, but they had also underestimated Lu Jingye’s capabilities. Coupled with the darts that seemed to have eyes and kept attacking them, no matter how skilled they were, they were simply similar to weak chickens under the attack from three sides.
What was even scarier was Lu Jingye’s order. “Send them all to the research laboratory and brainwash them.”
The complexion of the killers turned white.
This Second Young Master Lu was very cruel.
The bodyguards soon knocked out the group of killers and dragged them away.
Lu Jingye handed the nunchucks in his hand to one of the bodyguards and turned to walk over to Zi Yi. He then held her hand and walked inside.
“You still have a compet.i.tion tomorrow, go to bed first.”
“Okay.’
The next day, Zi Yi and Lu Jingye went to pick up Dou Xiangling first.
Dou Xiangling looked at Lu Jingye who was wearing a black suit and also a pair of sungla.s.ses. His hair was even combed back. She could not help but look at Zi Yi and ask her with her expression: Why does Mr. Lu look like a bodyguard today?
Zi Yi somehow seemed to have understood what her gaze was asking and giggled. “Ah Jing is my bodyguard today.”
Dou Xiangling chuckled and did not ask anything else.
Zi Yi told Dou Xiangling about what had happened over the internet yesterday.
Dou Xiangling had spent the whole day painting in the grape field and had forgotten about this matter.
“Allen had stolen his colleague’s ideas several times and that colleague of his has already sent out a lawyer’s letter. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble and also to give that colleague of his a fair judgment, the International a.s.sociation of Painting and Calligraphy have canceled Allen’s qualification to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion.
As for Meng He, the Count accused him of being involved in an economic case with Feiya. The economic case has involved hundreds of millions of dollars and they have already been taken away by the judicial authorities.”
Dou Xiangling had a calm expression after hearing what Zi Yi said. She did not feel the slightest sympathy for those types of people.
She then thought of the Count’s eldest son and hastily asked, “Was Ansel punished?”
“Ah Jing and Ian are making arrangements. He is the Count’s successor and the Count would definitely protect him. To deal with him, the only way is to make the Count become extremely disappointed with him.”
“Would Ian be able to inherit the Count t.i.tle then?”
“He’ll be able to. There are similar situations that have happened before in Country X.”
Dou Xiangling was relieved to hear that.
The compet.i.tion for today would start at 9 a.m.
At 8:30 a.m, Zi Yi’s car arrived at the art museum.
Compared to the day before yesterday, there was even more of a crowd on the streets leading to the art museum.
It was simply a sea of people.
The number of reporters outside the art museum was more than double what it was before.
Due to the sudden scandal, related to the two people who had tied for second place, that was exposed yesterday, the International and Country X’s a.s.sociation had undergone a discussion. Starting from third place onwards, everyone’s ranking would be promoted by one place. Therefore, the sixth place would be promoted to fifth place to partic.i.p.ate in the final round of the compet.i.tion.
The reporters had blocked the entry of the partic.i.p.ants of today’s compet.i.tion outside the art museum, as they were all asking about yesterday’s events.
The moment Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling alighted from the car, the reporters seemed to have gone crazy.
“Miss Dou, you and Mr. Meng are university cla.s.smates. Did you know about the incident that happened to him yesterday?”
“Miss Dou, Mr. Meng has always had a good relations.h.i.+p with you. Did he seek your help when he got into trouble?”
“Miss Dou…”
All the questions the reporters raised were related to the fact that Dou Xiangling and Meng He were university cla.s.smates. Moreover, both of them had competed for first place in the past. From the way the reporters had asked the questions, it seemed like they had very much wanted to dig out something.
After all, Dou Xiangling was from the Dou Family. If she truly had intentions to help Meng He, then it would be a piece of international news.
As for Zi Yi, they had seen how glib she was with her mouth and they decided not to provoke her today.
After all, when picking persimmons, they should pick the soft ones.
Dou Xiangling’s face flushed red with anger when she heard their questions that were directed at her.
Zi Yi coldly snorted and directly pulled her hand out from Dou Xiangling’s and stopped walking.
“Yiyi, the compet.i.tion is about to start, don’t..”
“Cousin, don’t worry. I only need two minutes to take care of these people.”
Zi Yi then stood in front of Dou Xiangling.
She was taller than her by half a head and thus, she had directly blocked Dou Xiangling from the reporters’ gazes.
Zi Yi coldly looked at those reporters who wished that they could dash through the protective barrier the bodyguards had formed. She then used her mental spirit and shouted, “Everyone, shut up.”
Everyone’s heart clenched tight and they subconsciously shut their mouths.
The surrounding area instantly quietened down.
Zi Yi then asked in a cold voice, “Is it that everyone Meng He is acquainted with has something to do with his reckless behavior? In that case, all the more you should check with the university he is currently employed at. After all, my cousin has never met him ever since they graduated.”
The group of reporters wanted to refute, but they felt a powerful pressure coming from above and none of them dared to speak out.
Zi Yi continued to speak. “Do you think that making things up out of thin air isn’t something that is considered breaking the law? In that case, I’ll gladly inform you that there is a law in Country X that clearly states, in the absence of evidence, if fabricated words were to hurt the other party, the party can directly sue for compensation.
Let’s see, the moment my cousin arrived, you had made up so many stories that are harmful to her reputation and would affect her performance in the compet.i.tion. How much should we get you to compensate?”
One of the reporters finally could not take it anymore and said, “Aren’t you just relying on the Dou Family background, for you to be so fearless? As for whether Miss Dou had any contact with Mr. Meng or not, none of us would know.”
“Ha.” Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and a chilly glint shot out from her eyes. The words that she next said were so arrogant. “I’ll make a statement here today. So what if we are from the Dou Family? I’d like to see that if we truly have the background and capabilities, does it mean we will allow you to slander us at will?”
All the reporters here were broadcasting live today.
The whole internet exploded due to her words.
“What the f*ck?! Zi Yi is so arrogant!”
“Is it okay for her to act so arrogantly? She’s only a newcomer in the painting circle and any random master can instantly silence her. Isn’t she afraid of her words coming back to bite her?”
“I love Zi Yi so much. A person like her deserves to stand at the top. There’s nothing wrong with what she said. So what if she has a good background? That’s because she has reincarnated well. After the two rounds of compet.i.tion, who dares to say that she has no capabilities?”
…
There were all kinds of comments over the internet. However, the group of reporters was speechless by what Zi Yi had said to them.
Especially after Zi Yi then said, “If it weren’t due to the compet.i.tion that will be starting soon, I would have taken those people who slandered my cousin to court.
However, just you wait. After the compet.i.tion ends, I will settle accounts with you for slandering my cousin. At that time, none of you will be able to get away.”
She did not care how big of a wave her words had caused and she pulled Dou Xiangling’s hand to walk towards the entrance of the art museum.
The other contestants and workers who were standing there and watching the commotion had subconsciously made way for them.
Everyone looked at Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling’s back view and none of them dared to go up and approach them.
