Rebirth, the domineering president's unbridled love

Chapter 154 The world is fickle and human nature is unpredictable

The reporters who were looking around suddenly became like hounds that had smelled prey, and they keenly sensed something was happening. They heard a noisy sound of footsteps, and they rushed towards the direction of the sound like a tide. Qiao Jingyu was immediately squeezed out by the surging crowd, and she didn't even have time to react.

On the other side, Song Yang was instantly surrounded by these ferocious reporters. Countless microphones rushed to Song Yang, as if they were going to put them directly into his mouth. One after another, extremely sharp questions came at him like a barrage of bullets:

"Sir, I just heard you call him Teacher Mu Kaiyuan. Are you really his student?" A female reporter wearing glasses and looking quite shrewd asked the first question.

"Do you know the inside story about Mu Kaiyuan accepting bribes?" another tall male reporter asked in an aggressive tone.

"Why should we still call Mu Kaiyuan a teacher when he has such a bad character?" Another female reporter with short hair and a serious face raised her question.

"Have you known for a long time that Mu Kaiyuan has accepted bribes, but have you been covering up for him? Please answer truthfully!" A fat middle-aged male reporter stared at Song Yang with his eyes wide open, not missing any slight changes in expression on his face.

"Or maybe you have actually been in cahoots with him for a long time, but the truth has only been revealed now?" Finally, a young male reporter asked bluntly, his eyes full of suspicion and scrutiny.

Hearing these words from the reporter, Song Yang's face turned red with anger. He shouted, "My teacher has never accepted bribes. Someone is framing him."

“Are the videos online also fake?”

"It can be clearly seen in the short video that Lu Jinghai stuffed a bank card into Mu Kaiyuan's bag! Doesn't this count as bribery? It's a fact that is set in stone!"

Song Yang was so angry that his face turned red. He explained loudly and emotionally: "Didn't you see it? Lu Jinghai, that despicable villain, sneakily slipped the bank card in when my teacher wasn't paying attention! My teacher didn't know about it at all. When he found an extra bank card in the bag, he immediately thought of returning it."

"Hmph, you keep saying that you returned it, but who can prove it? It won't work just because you say it! Are there any witnesses?" Someone snorted disdainfully and questioned.

"Also, who knows if he withdrew all the money in the card first and then pretended to return the card!" Another person echoed, his tone full of suspicion and sarcasm.

"You...you are just trying to find excuses to accuse me!" Song Yang was furious and trembling all over as he shouted, "My teacher has lived an upright and honest life. He has never done anything to let down the country and the people! You are slandering him without any basis. It is simply unforgivable!"

"Oh, look at you being so anxious to defend Mu Kaiyuan, it seems that you two must be of the same kind. As the saying goes, 'If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked', what kind of teacher you have will determine what kind of student you will teach!" At this time, a reporter in the crowd stood up and accused indignantly.

Other reporters also echoed, "Mu Kaiyuan's case is now irrefutable, and you are still helping him to make excuses."

"Mu Kaiyuan's case has not been closed yet. Are you trying to protect him?"

"We the people will keep a close eye on this and will never allow this to happen."

"Eliminate corrupt officials and give us ordinary people a blue sky and clear sea."

Song Yang's eyes turned red with anger, as if they could spit out fire. At this moment, the surroundings were noisy and chaotic. No one was willing to calm down and listen to what he said, and no one cared whether the so-called chain of evidence could be completely closed. Everyone seemed to have lost their minds and firmly believed that Mu Kaiyuan had accepted bribes.

The people holding the cameras were even more merciless, pointing the lenses directly at Song Yang's face and filming frantically. They surrounded Song Yang tightly like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, leaving no space for him.

Qiao Jingyu was squeezed to the periphery by the surging crowd. She could only watch Song Yang being besieged by this group of reporters, feeling extremely anxious. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. She wanted to rush forward and slap these people hard. However, the only remaining trace of reason kept reminding her: Don't act so impulsively! If you really do this, not only will it fail to solve the problem, but it will also bring a worse negative impact to Mu Kaiyuan. At that time, public opinion will inevitably take the opportunity to exaggerate and accuse Mu Kaiyuan of teaching students who only know how to confuse right and wrong and reverse black and white. Their quality and character are exactly the same as Mu Kaiyuan.

Thinking of this, Qiao Jingyu took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through her mind, and she came up with an idea. She opened her voice without hesitation and shouted to the group of reporters who were surrounding Song Yang: "I just saw Mu Kaiyuan's daughter sneaking out of the stairwell!"

Before he finished speaking, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet. Then, like a gust of wind sweeping past, all the reporters woke up from a dream and ran towards the stairwell like crazy. In a blink of an eye, the place that was packed with people just now was left with only Song Yang and Qiao Jingyu standing on the periphery.

While Qiao Jingyu was thanking the reporters and leaving, she quickly pulled Song Yang's arm and said, "Let's go! There's no point in reasoning with them."

The two men ran to the car panting.

Song Yang was still immersed in his previous emotions. Although he had seen such comments online before, he was still very angry. "How can they confuse right and wrong like this?"

Qiao Jingyu also sighed, but still comforted Song Yang, "The world is fickle and people are fickle. These reporters are eager to make the matter bigger so that such reports will have high ratings. They don't care about the truth at all. Calm down first. I'll call Feifei and ask her and Aunt Gu how things are going."

Qiao Jingyu called Mu Xuefei. As soon as Mu Xuefei answered, Qiao Jingyu reminded her, "Fei Fei, you and your aunt stay in the ward. Don't leave the ward. There are reporters everywhere outside now."

"Well, I know..." Mu Xuefei was in a low mood, "Jingyu... Is there any room for maneuver in my father's matter?"

"Staff Officer Wang has agreed to give me three more days to investigate. Believe me, I will be able to clear your father's name in three days."

"But..." Mu Xuefei paused, "Jingyu, thank you for always sticking with me. No matter what the outcome is, I will remember your friendship."

Qiao Jingyu could tell that Mu Xuefei didn't seem to believe that she could clear Mu Kaiyuan's name in three days.

This is understandable. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't believe it either.
