Chapter 168 The Truth Revealed: Charity and Reputation
The man in a suit and tie was reporter Chen.
With a smug smile, he inserted the USB drive into the computer and connected it to the big screen in the banquet hall.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the huge screen, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.
Reporter Chen cleared his throat in a mysterious manner. "Everyone, the evidence in my hands is enough to prove that the Luo Group's charity project is nothing but an elaborate scam!"
A video began playing on the screen. The picture was blurry, but one could vaguely make out several people in work clothes carrying supplies.
Reporter Chen exaggerated the story, "Look everyone, these so-called donated materials were never delivered to the recipients. Instead, they were secretly transported back to the Luo Group's warehouse! This proves that the Luo Group's charity project is a complete lie!"
The crowd began to stir, and whispers rose and fell.
Donor Sun had a gloomy expression on his face and stared at Luo Yichen with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.
Wu Xinyan felt tremendous pressure, as if a mountain was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
Luo Yichen remained calm, his eyes sharp as a knife as he stared directly at Reporter Chen: "Reporter Chen, taking things out of context is a journalist's biggest taboo. What does this video prove?"
Reporter Chen sneered, "Mr. Luo, you're still stubborn even when facing death! Are you trying to say that these supplies were purchased by your Luo Group and are being donated again? Who would believe such nonsense?"
Just then, Investigator Ma walked in with several staff members. He walked straight up to Reporter Chen and said in a serious tone, "Reporter Chen, according to our investigation, this video was maliciously edited. The full video shows that these supplies were indeed delivered to the recipient areas, and we have the receipt as proof."
Investigator Ma handed a document to reporter Chen, whose face changed and his eyes flickered.
He forced himself to remain calm and said, "This document is a forgery! I don't believe it!"
Volunteer Wu and several other volunteers also stood up. They angrily accused reporter Chen of malicious slander and recounted their personal experiences of participating in charity projects.
Donor Sun and several other donors also expressed their trust in the Roche Group.
Seeing that the situation was not good, reporter Chen wanted to sneak away, but was stopped by Lawyer Li.
Lawyer Li took out the lawyer's letter and said in a cold tone: "Reporter Chen, your actions constitute defamation. We will file a lawsuit against you!"
Reporter Chen's face turned pale and he collapsed on the ground.
This incident ultimately ended with reporter Chen's defeat.
Not only was Roche Group's charitable projects not affected, but its reputation reached an unprecedented peak.
However, just when everyone was rejoicing, Luo Yichen received an anonymous text message: "Congratulations, you won the battle. But the good show has just begun..." Luo Yichen held the phone tightly, looked at Wu Xinyan, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
He walked up to Wu Xinyan,...
Luo Yichen walked up to Wu Xinyan and, in everyone's surprised gaze, hugged her tightly in his arms.
His embrace was firm and warm, like an indestructible barrier, protecting her under his wings.
Wu Xinyan's originally tense nerves relaxed at this moment. She buried her head in his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat and drawing endless strength from him.
Luo Yichen whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything." These few short words made her feel more at ease than any sweet words.
At the celebration banquet, Volunteer Wu excitedly approached Wu Xinyan and said quickly: "Ms. Wu, I... I seem to know who... who helped that reporter forge evidence!" Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen looked at each other and immediately realized that this was a key breakthrough.
After hearing Wu's description, they locked on their target - a programmer who once worked at Roche Group but was later fired for stealing company secrets.
Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan found the programmer overnight. He initially denied it, but under Luo Yichen's powerful aura and Wu Xinyan's sincere persuasion, he finally admitted his crime and agreed to testify against the mastermind at the press conference.
Just when they thought everything was settled, Luo Yichen's phone vibrated again, and a new anonymous text message appeared on the screen: "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Luo Yichen, do you think you won?" Luo Yichen's face sank and he handed the phone to Wu Xinyan.
At the end of the text message, there was core data for a new product development...
Wu Xinyan suddenly raised her head and exclaimed, "Not good!"
The clarification press conference was packed with people and the spotlights were flashing non-stop.
Wu Xinyan stood on the stage, elegant and calm, yet with unquestionable determination.
She spoke slowly and clearly, revealing the conspiracy of the mastermind behind the scenes. Every word she said was powerful, like a bombshell that exploded in the crowd.
The programmer trembled as he produced the evidence of fabricated evidence. The evidence was irrefutable. The face of the mastermind turned pale in an instant, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Reporter Chen looked as pale as death.
After the press conference, the mastermind behind the scenes was disgraced and his reputation was ruined. Reporter Chen was also banned from the industry for participating in the smear campaign again and never had a chance to turn things around.
The reputation of Roche Group's charitable projects has reached an unprecedented peak, like a rising sun, illuminating the hearts of countless people.
New donations and volunteers poured in like a tide, and everyone was filled with hope and enthusiasm, wanting to contribute to this great cause.
The names of Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen have become legends in the charity world, and their love story has become a legend and a topic of conversation among people.
People from all walks of life have expressed their respect and praise for them. Their deeds have even been written into textbooks, becoming role models that inspire generations of people.
Donor Sun was deeply moved by their sincerity and dedication and decided to invest most of his fortune in this charity project, hoping to help more people in need.
However, just as the charity project was thriving and Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen were immersed in joy and happiness, a sudden phone call broke this brief tranquility.
When Wu Xinyan answered the phone, her face suddenly changed. The phone in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making it almost impossible for her to hold it.
"What did you say? New product development... failed?!" Wu Xinyan's voice trembled in disbelief.
Luo Yichen noticed her strangeness, walked quickly to her side, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Wu Xinyan took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, and said word by word, "Something happened in the R&D laboratory..." She turned around abruptly, grabbed her coat, and said in a hurried tone, "We have to go there immediately!"
