Night Rose

Chapter 73 Ruin Her Reputation

The video continues, showing Hsu Ching-yi circling the race car and taking photos with her phone.

"She just thinks racing cars are cool and came to take a look and check out the specs," Lu Mingzhou said calmly, turning his hand over to grasp Xu Jingyi's sweaty hand.

"Yes, Sister Su, I'm just taking a look," Xu Jingyi said humbly.

In the video, Hsu Ching-yi finished a lap and squatted down at the left front wheel of the race car, reaching out to touch the tire.

Su Jin kept her eyes glued to her movements, waiting for her next move.

However, Hsu Ching-yi did nothing; she simply placed her hand on the tire. A subtle pause flashed by, and Hsu Ching-yi got up and left the garage.

"Su Jin, she really didn't do anything," the person in charge sighed.

"Let's rewind the video and take a look," Su Jin said calmly, tapping the table.

The person in charge consulted the president, who impatiently raised his chin.

The person in charge pulled back the video and played it again.

"0.5x speed." Su Jin stood in front of the screen.

The video played again, and Su Jin squinted, carefully observing the frame that looked off.

A frame flashed by quickly, and Su Jin grabbed the mouse and pressed pause. She reached out and tapped Xu Jingyi's finger, "Everyone, watch closely, I'm going to do a magic trick."

All eyes were on the finger pointing at the video. Su Jin rewound the video by one second, and the scene flashed back.

"Is there any difference?" the president asked, frowning.

Su Jin pressed play, then paused for the next second.

"Has no one noticed anything?" Su Jin asked regretfully.

Li Qi had been staring at the screen the whole time. From the moment Su Jin touched Xu Jingyi's finger, he had been focused on the finger. In that one second of switching, he actually noticed an important difference.

"Fingers, fingers..."

His hoarse voice attracted the attention of others. Su Jin nodded approvingly and played it again for two seconds.

In the video, Hsu Ching-yi's originally clean fingers were suddenly covered in engine oil!

Her fingers were touching a clean area, yet they got oil on them; the video had been edited.

"Are you trying to fool me with this edited video? It seems your company has a serious problem with its attitude." Su Jin confronted the person in charge directly.

The person in charge looked completely bewildered, and he instinctively looked at the video provider, Lu Mingzhou.

Lu Mingzhou felt a chill run down his spine, breaking out in a cold sweat. He hadn't expected to be exposed here! His earlier arrogance had vanished, and he was now speechless.

The president looked at him coldly, and all eyes were on him and Xu Jingyi, staring at them without any emotion.

The person who caused such a huge uproar at Top Chain was actually a lowly intern!

"Lu Mingzhou, you gave me the video, what's going on?! You really took it and secretly edited it? Don't you know there's technology that can determine whether a video has been edited? You really are..." The person in charge was speechless.

The fact that the president personally came to handle this matter is because the video provided by Lu Mingzhou contained no evidence that Su Jin had presented! That's why Top Chain is so confident from top to bottom.

In the end, they were tricked by their own people and fooled by his edited video!

"I..." Lu Mingzhou felt a chill run down his spine.

The day he helped Xu Jingyi, he never imagined that something like this would happen.

At first, Xu Jingyi was just an ordinary intern to him, but this intern was young and enthusiastic, with a naivety that Su Jin didn't have, and unlike Su Jin, who knew everything.

The kind of adoration that Lu Mingzhou couldn't feel from Su Jin, Xu Jingyi gave him a complete experience.

From the moment he gave her his WeChat during his school speech to their reunion at the company, everything was a thrill for Lu Mingzhou, a stark contrast to his otherwise mundane romantic life.

Even though Su Jin was beautiful and gentle, she was just too strong, so strong that Lu Mingzhou couldn't see his own brilliance. He gradually grew to hate her from the bottom of his heart and wanted someone else.

Xu Jingyi is cute and likes to stick to him and call him "brother". She tells him about her work and life and asks him for help in a coquettish way. He gradually can't refuse her and his relationship with Su Jin becomes more and more distant.

After the rally car accident, Lu Mingzhou was extremely busy and overwhelmed. Xu Jingyi privately approached him, threw herself into his arms and cried, saying that she had accidentally tampered with Su Jin's racing data and asked him if he would be in trouble.

Lu Mingzhou told her then that it was okay, all the data would be handed over to the company and he would handle it first. If there were any problems with the data, he could help cover it up.

He didn't expect that Su Jin would not only not hand over the data to the company, but would also take the data back to China, leaving him with no room to maneuver.

Lu Mingzhou didn't take the data too seriously until news of Li Qi's impending awakening came out, and the company asked him to continue investigating the matter. Only then did Xu Jingyi dare to tell him everything.

She said she thought that set of screws was more suitable, but Su Jin did not take her opinion, so she secretly moved the parts because she was angry.

She cried and said that she didn't mean to, and she never thought she would be in a car accident.

Seeing her crying so sadly, Lu Mingzhou hugged her and comforted her, saying he would help her.

Unexpectedly, Su Jin actually discovered a clue in the data. Even with so many people surrounding her, she could tell from just one look that the video had been edited!

His chances of winning are actually quite high. TopChain is approaching this matter with the intention of compensating her. As long as Su Jin stops causing trouble and the online public opinion no longer affects TopChain's reputation, this matter can be quickly put behind them.

For a company like Topchain, a car accident is an absolute scandal!

In the president's view, he doesn't care about the truth; as long as the matter is over, it's considered finished.

I just didn't expect to have such an idiot under my command.

"The company can provide you and contestant Li with financial compensation. Let's not escalate this matter any further," the president said as his first words.

Su Jin remained composed and assertive, saying, "Financial compensation is due, but I also demand fairness. Whoever dragged me out to take the fall for three months must be held responsible for this."

"Of course, we will fire Lu and Xu," the president said, taking out a contract, a pre-prepared compensation agreement. He modified a few numbers on it and pushed the document out.

"Look, I believe you will be satisfied with this number."

Su Jin glanced at it, counted the numbers with surprise, and handed the document to Li Qi.

The figures in the contract are indeed very generous, but it's uncertain when Li Qi will recover, and whether he can still be a qualified race car driver after his recovery is a question.

With this compensation, he and his family will be able to live a comfortable life for the rest of their lives.

He and Su Jin looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"Li Qi's compensation should have been paid in full. As for me, I don't want compensation. I just need Dinglian to issue a statement proving that I was wronged and that this matter has nothing to do with me. As for the culprit, I will ruin her reputation." Su Jin's voice was calm.

The president was displeased. "Su, this matter has already had a significant impact on the company."

"Why don't the company just cut ties with her? Just like the company treated me back then," Su Jin mocked.
