The Crippled Boss Loves Me - Chapter 936 Dare to Do But Dare Not
936 Dare to Do But Dare Not
However, the frenzy of digging for big news made the reporters forget their fear. Even though they were scared, they persisted in blocking Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing, hoping to extract some information from them.
Shen Hanxing initially didn’t want to pay any attention to them, but with the road blocked, she abruptly halted her steps and fixed her gaze on the last reporter who had asked a question. “What do I think? What kind of answer are you looking for?” Her red lips curved into a cold smile. “I just arrived here. I don’t know anything. What do you want me to say? Han Yin is a murderer? The police haven’t issued any statement yet, but you keep insisting that Han Yin is the murderer. Do you think you’re more capable than the police? The police haven’t declared Han Yin guilty, so what right do you have for convicting her?”
“But…” a feeble voice emerged from within the crowd of reporters. “Everyone knows that Han Yin hired someone to commit murder. Isn’t it just a matter of time before she’s convicted?”
Shen Hanxing’s gaze turned instantly icy. All the reporters who made eye contact with her lowered their heads. “Who said that? Come out!” she demanded.
After waiting for a while, no one said anything. Shen Hanxing sneered and raised her delicate chin. “You dare to say it but lack the courage to own up to it? If you dare to utter those words, don’t hide like a coward in the crowd!”
Still, there was no response from anyone.
A flash of anger flickered in Shen Hanxing’s eyes. Did they think she was helpless just because she was amidst the crowd? She stepped forward decisively in her high heels. Her slender and straight calves were faintly visible under her dress. She accurately passed through the crowd and pulled out a reporter wearing a checkered shirt and a peaked cap from the crowd of reporters. Then, she grabbed his collar and pulled him out of the crowd!
The reporter in the peaked cap was taken aback. How did she manage to find him?
“Bingxin Evening News?” Shen Hanxing read the name on his press badge, her gaze darkening. “An evening newspaper under Bingxin Entertainment?” It was also a mouthpiece for Bingxin Entertainment. This evening news often used its platform on Weibo posts to manipulate fans and promote the company’s artists.
Shen Hanxing wasn’t too surprised to find someone from Bingxin Entertainment among the crowd and say such words. The man in the peaked cap turned pale, especially upon hearing Shen Hanxing read his badge. Panic flashed across his eyes. He had intended to hide in the crowd, taking advantage of the situation to pressure Shen Hanxing. Even celebrities who were used to being in the limelight could not help but say inappropriate words in such situations. Then, they could edit and manipulate their statements to confuse people on social media platforms, leaving them with no defense.
The man with the peaked cap had heard some things about Shen Hanxing. He knew that she was not fond of talking and preferred to hit someone instead. Therefore, he wanted to force Shen Hanxing into an embarrassing situation, preferably provoking her to physically attack someone. Then, they could capitalize on it and spread the news of Shen Hanxing abusing her power. However, the man with the peaked cap never anticipated that he would be the one caught in the end.
“No, it’s not me…” The man with the peaked cap instinctively denied it, vigorously shaking his hands. “You’ve mistaken me for someone else. I didn’t say anything just now…”
“Whether you said it or not, you know very well,” Shen Hanxing said expressionlessly, observing the changes in his facial expression. “What are you afraid of? Don’t worry, I won’t hit you.”
The man with the peaked cap felt bitter. The flashes from the reporter’s cameras continued incessantly. He didn’t expect his fellow journalists to have the decency to blur his face and protect his privacy. Thus, Shen Hanxing might as well hit him! After all, he had already sacrificed so much. If Shen Hanxing were to act, he could play the victim online. If he played his cards right, he might even receive a bonus. It would be better than being publicly exposed and subjected to the scrutiny of everyone’s gaze.
“I didn’t say it…” The man with the peaked cap could only weakly refute, “Mrs. Ji, let go of me. If you continue like this, I’ll call the police…”
“What are you afraid of? I just wanted to talk with you. I won’t do anything to you,” Shen Hanxing said with a cold gaze. She released her grip on the man with the peaked cap and even straightened his crumpled collar. However, the more composed her expression was, the more uncertain the man with the peaked cap felt.
“The police station is right behind us. Don’t worry, I’m a law-abiding citizen. I won’t break the law.” Shen Hanxing raised her chin and calmly stated, “See, I haven’t done anything to you, have I? I just wanted to know which newspaper company you’re from and recognize your face. If you haven’t done anything wrong, why are you so afraid?”
