Chapter 340 - 341: Leng Zimo Rescues the Situation
Beijing.
Emperor View Building, the largest conference hall.
Three minutes before ten o’clock, a door on the side of the conference hall opened.
Leng Zimo was the first to walk in, dressed in a suit that shone brilliantly, followed by Mr. Yansu, who was helped by Ailin and dressed in a traditional Chinese mandarin jacket, and then two senior police officers with serious faces entered.
Journalists had already begun to take frenzied photos, as Leng Zimo was generally free from scandal, making this the first time he had become the male lead in such an incident. Although the original posts did not specify this, various conjectures had already proven that he was very likely one of those involved.
The appearance of Mr. Yansu and others, naturally, also piqued the curiosity of the journalists, and several of them were also captured on camera.
Seated at the main spot, Leng Zimo looked around the venue.
"Regarding the scandal involving Luo Xiaoqian, first, I have to admit one thing: the person in the photo is me!"
The room erupted into commotion.
Everyone had thought he would try to find every possible excuse to shirk responsibility, yet here he was, doing the exact opposite by directly admitting it was him.
With just one sentence, Leng Zimo had stunned all the journalists present.
In the room next door, Zhuo Yannan and others, upon seeing the live feed, were also surprised.
Leng Zirui, who was lounging lazily in his chair, licked the lollipop given to him by Mr. Yansu’s granddaughter Yanse and smiled flirtatiously, "Seizing the initiative aggressively, nicely done!"
"Seizing the initiative?" Zhuo Yannan turned her head to look at the handsome young man, "You mean..."
Leng Zirui stayed silent, merely twirling his lollipop and tilting his chin toward the screen.
"Ahem!"
In the screen, Leng Zimo gave a light cough and the room instantly fell quiet, all eyes turned toward him, waiting for what he would say next.
Leng Zimo waved his hand slightly and two sets of photos immediately appeared on the large back projection behind him.
The group of photos on the right were those from the original online post, also known as the scandalous photos.
The group on the left showed the same people and poses as those photos, only the content was entirely different.
Not only was Luo Xiaoqian fully clothed and proper, but also their postures were not the slightest bit ambiguous—they simply showed Luo Xiaoqian helping him straighten out his clothes.
"I think everyone wants to know the truth, so now, I will give you all the truth!" Leng Zimo shrugged his shoulders, "The set on the left are the restored photos by technical staff, and the set on the right are the so-called ’scandalous photos’ from the internet. In fact, at that time, Miss Luo Xiaoqian and I were together because she accidentally spilled a drink on me, so she took me to the restroom to deal with it. As my shirt was quite wet, I needed to unbutton it to wipe it off, and to avoid misunderstandings, we went into the storage room next to the restroom. The rest of the matter, I think it’s more appropriate for Mr. Han to explain!"
Next to him, Mr. Han, dressed in his police uniform, stood up.
"First, let me introduce myself; Han Dawei, head of the Cyber and Information Security Center. The main purpose of my attendance at this press conference is because we used the incident involving Luo Xiaoqian as a lead to crack a major case of cyber personal attack. Now, the main suspects have all been apprehended. These criminals used the internet as a means to commit crimes, engaging in image manipulation, hiring people to post comments, among other methods, to receive money from others and achieve unspoken objectives, with extremely malicious intent. I won’t go into the details here, I just want to say that we will not tolerate such actions, we will not be lenient. Our purpose is to maintain a healthy and positive online environment, and at the same time, we also remind all websites and journalists, do not blindly follow others..."
