Mu Chen was too confident. This live testing of DNA was also initiated by Mu Chen. If he were not confident, would he really dare to resort to such a public way to resolve the matter? This matter had been brewing for so long, who would believe that Mu Chen was not prepared at all.
With all this in mind, Ning Zhe suddenly said, “Wait.”
Everyone looked at Ning Zhe in unison.
Ning Zhe looked at Mu Chen with burning eyes as he said, “Chairman Mu, I hope the test will be fair. No one should cheat.”
Mu Chen sneered. “Chairman Ning is afraid I’l cheat, right?”
Ning Zhe did reply. His answer was obvious.
The crowd began to discuss among themselves as well.
‘Mu Chen was not stupid. For him to be so calm at this moment, there were only two possibilities: one, he was certain he was right; two, he was prepared to cheat.
‘Mu Chen said disdainfully, “Alright. Then, what does Chairman Ning think we should do?”
Ning Zhe did not say anything. He had not thought of a foolproof plan.
At this time, a reporter raised his hand. “I’m a reporter from City Times. I have a suggestion. I wonder if everyone wants to hear it.”
Everyone, including those involved, looked at the reporter.
“Why don’t we send two or three reporters in as witnesses? That way, we can guarantee the authenticity of the results,” the reporter said earnestly.
Everyone nodded. It was indeed a good idea. It was obvious no one among those involved could be trusted so it was best to bring ina third party. The reporters were definitely the most suitable candidates.
Ning Zhe and the elders of the Mu family nodded in agreement.
With that, everyone moved very quickly and selected three reporters from the major media outlets.
However, at this time, Mu Chen asked as he looked at the three selected reporters mockingly, “Then, how are you going to prove that you weren’t bribed beforehand?”
The three reporters were so angry that their faces turned red. They thought there was no need for them to do such a thing and that if Mu Chen wanted to humiliate himself, it was fine, but was there a need to humiliate them?
The reporter, who came up with this idea, forced a smile on his face. He straightened his back and said righteously, “Chairman Mu, the three of us have been in this industry for a long time; we have over 20 years of experience. It’s not worth ruining our careers by accepting a bribe.”
The other two reporters instinctively straightened their backs and wore solemn expressions on their faces as well.
The other reporters were filled with righteous indignation. They rolled their eyes and thought that Mu Chen was truly a scumbag.
Mu Chen waited for everyone to fall silent before he said in a clear voice, “It’s not the first time I’ve been framed and smeared by the media. Although I’ve been cleared of the accusations each time, I’ve never received a single apology from any reporters. Everyone easily spreads rumors and forgets about it
after, but the victims can only swallow their grievances. I’ve never seen any reporters taking any responsibility for their actions. They only clamor all year round about seeking truth and justice.”
‘Mu Chen swept his piercing gaze across the reporters, and they could not help but avert their gazes. He was speaking the truth, after all. They had always started the fire but had never tried to put out the fire.
Mu Chen continued to say, “You know best in your hearts if you’ve ever accepted money during the course of your career. There’s no need to pretend to be virtuous in front of me.”
No one could raise their heads.
“Today’s matter has turned out as you wanted. It’s fine. However, if the results don’t match your expectations, I’m afraid you’ll turn around and say I’ve bribed the witnesses..”
