Xu Jiannian’s face was tinged with a shade of guilt as he spoke, “I’m deeply sorry that due to the distance between us, I didn’t have enough time to stop her. Knowing that Teacher Si is unharmed brings me relief. I strongly condemn Qi Shuning’s behavior.”
“If it weren’t for Teacher Si’s timely assistance in steering the boat back, we would have all perished. I can’t fathom why Qi Shuning would commit such a heinous act under these circumstances; these are the events as I witnessed them.”
Pausing for a moment, Xu Jiannian once again addressed the camera, “She even said that Teacher Si definitely wouldn’t be able to come back. Speaking out might not do any good, but I must voice the truth. I failed to stop her, and for that, I am racked with guilt…”
The live stream audience was equally shocked by Qi Shuning’s actions.
[Qi Shuning is just like the fabled farmer who nursed the snake back to health, but at least the snake’s biting is in its nature. What’s her excuse?]
[Absolutely disgusting. Si Fuqing is younger than Qi Shuning. And yet, she knew to save others shortly after reaching adulthood. Qi Shuning is not wrong for thinking about self-preservation, but how could she harm others?] [Racked with guilt? I sense there’s more to it than meets the eye…]
[This has nothing to do with Jiannian. Please focus your anger on Qi Shuning and spare Jiannian. Fans, don’t give the haters any ammunition. Let’s not stoop to their level.]
“The footage comes from a camera at the bow that wasn’t turned off,” the reporter revealed, switching views. “Thanks to the technicians’ efforts, we were able to recover the recording. Fortunately, it captured the incident. Let’s take a look. ”
Qi Shuning’s complexion turned even paler, her lips quivering.
She had never imagined that a camera, positioned precisely at her angle, had been left on.
The footage showed Qi Shuning, with a crazed expression, hastily grabbing scissors from a toolbox and without hesitation, cutting through the safety belt attached to the boat’s railing.
It also captured Xu Jiannian’s shocked reaction, as he took a second to process the situation before confronting Qi Shuning.
[This is pure evil! It’s hard to believe a human could do such a thing.]
[Even Xu Jiannian was stunned. To be honest, I would have been too slow to react as well.]
[What kind of background does Qi Shuning have to act so brazenly? I’ve wanted to say since last year’s Great Xia TV host selection that she wasn’t as talented as Lee Manyu, yet she was the one who got picked.]
[Seems like she’s connected to the big families of Sijiu City. If she gets off scot-free, I’m going to lose it.]
[So, Qi Shuning thought she could cut Si Fuqing’s rope because Si Fuqing is an orphan and was driven out by the Zuo family, without any powerful backers? Whoever raised her must be as narrow-minded as she is.]
The interview continued.
Si Fuqing stretched lazily, her gaze landing on Qi Shuning, “First, let’s send her to T… to a more secure prison.”
She and her third senior sister had sent numerous drug lords and criminals to T18 and almost let it slip just now.
“No problem,” Xi Jiang assured, patting his chest, “The MO family has one, a new type of mechanical prison. She won’t even dream of escaping.”
The MO family!
Names that had etched a significant mark in history, now appeared one after another before Qi Shuning.
But for her, it was nothing but a curse of despair.
“You… you’re from the MO family?” Qi Shuning struggled to raise her head, her lips trembling violently, “The MO family was elevated by Emperor Yin himself. Would he have promoted you if he saw you bullying a civilian like this?”
“You’ve forgotten the teachings of your ancestors! You’ve disregarded his guidance! He would be restless in his grave!”
Her words caused everyone present to frown.
Qi Shuning must have lost her mind, spouting nonsense.
However, Yu Xiheng suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils dark as night.
Calm and serene.
Yet, not just Si Fuqing, but even Feng San and Xi Jiang could feel the overwhelming aura pressing down on them.
Like the calm before the storm, it grew increasingly terrifying.
Rarely, he showed his anger, and it was evident.
Unable to withstand the pressure, Qi Shuning coughed up blood, her breaths faint.
“Do you think, just because you’ve read a few history books, you’re qualified to judge the Emperor?” Si Fuqing crouched down, grasping Qi Shuning’s throat. “Tell me, if you truly became a pillar of the Great Xia TV, how would you be any different from those corrupt officials who caused chaos in the court in the past?”
“What, you think you’re too noble to be touched? You should feel lucky you weren’t born in that era; otherwise, you’d have died long ago.. And you dare mention His Majesty?”
