272: Lin Jia was slandered

Su Yue completely ignored Zhu Hua's threat. He pulled Lin Jia and was about to walk out.

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

Lin Jia was stunned for a few seconds when she suddenly heard the word 'home'. Her face immediately turned bright red, and she felt a bit dazed, but she quickly snapped back to reality and shook her head.

"No, Su Yue, I want to stay here."

Su Yue immediately frowned. Zhu Hua, who had heard Su Yue's arrogant words from the side, was quite angered by Su Yue's complete disregard for him.

He glared furiously at Su Yue, his eyes burning with rage: "You brat! How dare you be so arrogant! Everyone, get him!"

Today, he had many more people than the solitary Su Yue. He firmly believed he could teach Su Yue a harsh lesson this time and let him know who people like him couldn't afford to offend.

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of subordinates who had surrounded the two also stepped forward to attack Su Yue.

Su Yue had no chance to ask Lin Jia why she chose to stay here. He could only protect her behind him and face the subordinates.

Lin Jia's face turned pale when she saw so many people surrounding them, but she also knew she couldn't panic now, or she would just cause trouble for Su Yue.

However, these people were seasoned thugs. Their attacks were fierce and ruthless, and the punches they threw made a 'swishing' sound in the air. Hearing it made Lin Jia's heart nearly stop from fright, fearing Su Yue would be injured by them.

Although the other side had more people, Su Yue was not easy to bully. Facing their fierce moves, he skillfully dodged and delivered quick counterattacks.

However, Su Yue was still with Lin Jia. Although Lin Jia didn't cause him trouble, her presence was also a hindrance to Su Yue.

Several times, Su Yue took a punch because he had to protect Lin Jia. Lin Jia's face turned pale as she watched, and she was extremely worried.

Su Yue came here today because of her, and now he was injured because of her. Lin Jia felt both touched and regretful, feeling that she had dragged Su Yue down.

Zhu Hua saw his subordinates being defeated by Su Yue one by one, while Su Yue only had a few minor injuries. He was immediately infuriated.

He spat and cursed angrily: "Pah! You bunch of useless trash, you can't even handle one person."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Zhu Hua directly picked up a bottle of wine and was about to smash it on Su Yue's head.

"Su Yue!"

"Director!"

Two screams rang out, followed by the sound of a bottle shattering with a "bang".

The scene fell into a dead silence. Everyone was silent, watching this sudden change.

Zhu Hua didn't expect that instead of hitting someone, the other party quickly snatched his bottle and then smashed the bottle that was supposed to hit Su Yue's head onto his own head. His eyes immediately widened.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he glared furiously at Su Yue: "Damn it, you just wait..."

Before he could finish his arrogant threat, Zhu Hua had already fallen directly to the ground.

The group of subordinates finally reacted and quickly crowded around Zhu Hua, surrounding him and shouting his name. Not a single person thought of taking Zhu Hua to the hospital.

Lin Jia was also greatly startled by the sudden change before her. Then, her gaze towards Su Yue became increasingly filled with admiration, her eyes sparkling with starlight.

Everything that just happened occurred in a flash. They hadn't even reacted yet. At that moment, Lin Jia was even thinking of rushing in front of Su Yue to block the bottle for him.

Who knew that, to everyone's surprise, Su Yue was actually able to snatch Zhu Hua's bottle and send it back to him.

Such a Su Yue was simply too dazzling and formidable. At this moment, Lin Jia's heart was still pounding wildly, shaken by the scene that had just unfolded.

"Su Yue, are you alright?"

As she spoke, she carefully looked Su Yue up and down, frowning when she saw a few bruises on his face.

These injuries were all sustained because of her. If it weren't for Su Yue, she didn't know how Zhu Hua would have bullied her today.

Huang Mao, who had just spoken and revealed himself, also rushed directly in front of Su Yue, looking at him with a face full of admiration.

"Director, you're too amazing!"

Although he had long known that Su Yue was powerful, seeing him consistently counterattack so decisively still made Huang Mao's blood boil with excitement at how cool Su Yue was.

Following such a Director was truly his greatest honor!

Su Yue didn't pay much attention to what he had just done. He had merely retaliated against someone who was seeking death. He hadn't originally intended to deal with Zhu Hua so easily using force.

Using force to directly teach Zhu Hua a lesson and make him 'remake himself' was the lowest form of revenge. Zhu Hua had done so much to Lin Jia and even deliberately went to Far View (Yuantu) to cause trouble for him. Su Yue naturally wouldn't let him off so easily.

However, Zhu Hua had just tried to kill him, so he naturally wouldn't just take this anger without doing anything.

After what happened today, Su Yue knew he had to find dirt on Zhu Hua as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he let Zhu Hua continue, there was no telling what he might do.

Su Yue suppressed the thoughts in his heart and looked at Lin Jia: "Lin Jia, are you alright? Why wouldn't you leave with me?"

Lin Jia saw that Su Yue didn't answer her question but instead asked about her safety first. Her heart warmed again, and she quickly shook her head.

"I'm fine, you protected me very well. It's you, you seem to have quite a few injuries."

Lin Jia frowned worriedly, looking at Su Yue with a disapproving expression, her eyes clearly showing concern for him.

Su Yue shook his head indifferently, not taking it to heart.

"It's nothing, just a few minor injuries."

He looked at Lin Jia, his expression becoming a bit more serious, and continued to ask: "So why exactly did you want to stay here? Did you come here voluntarily today? Did you already know Zhu Hua was here?"

Su Yue's series of questions made Lin Jia freeze on the spot, and her face gradually darkened.

After speaking, Su Yue quietly watched Lin Jia, not rushing her.

Instead, the others in the private room on the side were the first to interrupt the harmonious atmosphere between them.

"Jia Jia, I remember this person is your boyfriend, right? What? Did you deliberately bring your boyfriend here today to bully my brother?"

Zhu Yuanyuan's face turned green with anger when she saw Zhu Hua knocked unconscious by Su Yue. First, she had someone send Zhu Hua to their family's private hospital, and then she looked at the culprit with a dark expression.

Lin Jia frowned when Zhu Yuanyuan started speaking. Just as she was about to say something, Su Yue on the side cut in first.

"You're the one who wanted to bully Jia Jia last time, right? What? You failed once and deliberately arranged for Jia Jia to come here again? Do you think I'll let you have your way? If you dare to lay a hand on Jia Jia again, don't blame me."

Zhu Yuanyuan had also heard from Zhu Hua about the relationship between Su Yue and Lan Zijun. She had no good expression for this kind of gigolo who climbed the social ladder by attaching himself to powerful people.

Her face was dark: "Don't think you can act so high and mighty here just because you have a good relationship with Lan Zijun. I'm telling you, if I deal with you today, absolutely no one will dare to say anything."

"If you're smart, kneel before my brother's sickbed and let him get his revenge. Maybe then I'll truly forgive you out of respect for Lan Zijun."

Su Yue completely ignored Zhu Yuanyuan, not taking her seriously at all.

Let alone that she was just the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, even if she were the current head of the Zhu family, he wouldn't be afraid. How could he possibly admit fault?

Zhu Yuanyuan was repeatedly looked down upon by Su Yue and was extremely angry. Her eyes glared furiously at Su Yue, her gaze as vicious as Zhu Hua's. They were truly brother and sister.

However, her gaze wouldn't be taken to heart by the person on the receiving end.

Seeing the atmosphere freeze, a young woman standing beside Zhu Yuanyuan, who had a relatively good relationship with Lin Jia, winked at Lin Jia.

Lin Jia's expression suddenly changed. Su Yue naturally saw Lin Jia's change and couldn't help but become curious.

He asked: "Lin Jia, what's wrong? You don't need to hide anything from me if something's going on."

Lin Jia looked at Su Yue's eyes with a very complicated expression. Su Yue calmly looked at her.

Perhaps it was Su Yue who finally gave Lin Jia the chance to tell the truth. Finally, Lin Jia stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Su Yue's ear, and spoke softly.

"Su Yue, they took blurry photos of me while I was socializing, and they used AI to edit them into indecent images. They also said they would send those fake photos to my clients' families."

"I actually came here today to ask them to give me back these photos."

When Su Yue heard Lin Jia say this, he finally understood why Lin Jia would knowingly venture into the mountain even though she knew there was a tiger there. It turned out these people wanted to spread rumors about Lin Jia and even created such disgusting photos of her.

Su Yue's heart immediately burned with fury. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't hit women, Zhu Yuanyuan would probably be lying on the ground like Zhu Hua right now, beaten by him.

He stared sinisterly at Zhu Yuanyuan and said viciously: "Delete all of Jia Jia's photos. No backups are allowed, and you are not to mess with Jia Jia's photos again after this."

"If you dare to cause trouble again, I definitely won't let you off."

Su Yue's gaze was eerie and terrifying. Zhu Yuanyuan's back felt numb as he stared at her, and she actually felt a sense of fearful unease in her heart.

But she wasn't easily scared off by Su Yue. Instead, she swallowed and looked at Su Yue fearlessly, her face full of arrogance.

"Why should I delete them just because you say so? Who do you think you are? You actually dare to order me around."

Lin Jia had already imagined what she might experience when she came. Now, facing Zhu Yuanyuan, she was quite a bit calmer.

She looked at Zhu Yuanyuan, her expression becoming much more serious: "I will agree to what you say, but you must also agree to what Su Yue says."

Zhu Yuanyuan was much calmer when facing Lin Jia than when facing Su Yue. Her tone of voice was very unfriendly.

She let out a cold snort, full of disdain.

"Who do you think you are? Do you think I have to agree just because you say so? Originally, I did intend not to touch you out of consideration for our acquaintance."

"But now you even dare to find someone to beat up my brother, so I naturally won't let you off."

Lin Jia furrowed her brow: "You..."

Su Yue stopped Lin Jia, who wanted to argue with Zhu Yuanyuan, and shook his head at her.

After comforting Lin Jia, Su Yue looked at Zhu Yuanyuan.

Su Yue's gaze was very terrifying. Zhu Yuanyuan had just witnessed the fierce scene of him beating up more than ten people by himself. Being stared at with such hostility by him, she inevitably felt fear in her heart.

She swallowed and glared at Su Yue with a bit of guilt: "Look, look at what! I will definitely get revenge for my brother!"

Although Su Yue didn't hit women, when he saw such a punchable person, he couldn't control his furious emotions either.

He looked around, and finally picked up a bottle from a nearby table and forcefully struck it on the table.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out in the private room once again.

Zhu Yuanyuan probably thought of the scene where Zhu Hua was just beaten by Su Yue. At this moment, she was covering her head with both hands, screaming tremblingly.

Su Yue just held the broken bottle and calmly looked at Zhu Yuanyuan. Zhu Yuanyuan's face had already turned pale from fright at Su Yue's terrifying expression.

"Are you deleting them or not?"

At this moment, how could Zhu Yuanyuan dare to offend Su Yue? She quickly nodded repeatedly with a pale face: "Delete, delete, delete, I promise to delete them all completely."

Su Yue: "Delete them completely in front of me. Don't play any tricks."

Zhu Yuanyuan was greatly frightened by Su Yue. At this time, she didn't dare to play any tricks and could only trembling pull out her phone and delete all the photos on it.

Su Yue also saw Zhu Yuanyuan's photos. When he saw them, he suddenly felt that he had hit Zhu Hua too lightly earlier. He should have beaten Zhu Hua into a paraplegic.

After seeing Zhu Yuanyuan delete all those fake indecent photos, Lin Jia breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Actually, when she came, she hadn't thought that Zhu Yuanyuan and the others would really delete those fake photos, but she still held onto hope, hoping to escape from the hands of these devils.

Now that she saw Zhu Yuanyuan completely destroy the photos, the heart that had been trembling with fear all this time finally completely relaxed.

In fact, ever since Lin Jia took Su Yue to meet Zhu Yuanyuan and the others, Zhu Hua and Zhu Yuanyuan had been threatening her every day with all sorts of words and actions.

At first, Lin Jia didn't pay much attention to it, but gradually the two of them became more and more excessive, and her colleagues at the company started looking at her with strange eyes.

Lin Jia knew that the two of them were spreading rumors about her, and she also knew that the person in those rumors was not her at all.

But the people around her looked at her with contempt, as if she had really done something unforgivable. Even clients started touching her inappropriately, thinking she was that kind of casual person.

Lin Jia really couldn't stand it anymore. Therefore, when Zhu Yuanyuan invited her to KTV today, she hesitated for a long time but finally decided to accept the invitation.

These people were simply relying on their wealth and status to bully her arbitrarily, not treating her as a human being at all, and she still had to obey them.

Suddenly, a large hand covered Lin Jia's forehead. The person gently rubbed it, and the hostility dissipated, leaving only gentleness.

"It's alright, Lin Jia, this is over. They won't dare to do anything to you again."

Su Yue glanced at Zhu Yuanyuan indifferently and asked: "Right?"

Zhu Yuanyuan was startled by Su Yue's gaze, felt a wave of fear in her heart, and nodded reluctantly: "Yes... Yes."

Su Yue then looked down at Lin Jia again, revealing a brilliant smile: "See?"

Lin Jia's fear in her heart was instantly soothed by Su Yue's smile, and her heart pounded non-stop.

It wasn't until silence returned to the private room that Zhu Yuanyuan angrily smashed all the bottles on the table onto the floor, her face full of gloom.

"Damn it, how dare this brat be so arrogant! I definitely won't let him off!"

The people involved had already left long ago.
