Chapter 420: Back out your shitty fingers

A thin line of blood trickled down his forehead and his brows slightly furrowed as the stone crashed on his head.

“Bro!”

“Jinhai!”

Liu Hai and Jing were horrified. Liu Hai checked on his wound, and thankfully it wasn’t serious.

He dangerously glared at the crowd, and all the reporters backed away several steps in pure fear. Even if he was happy-go-lucky most of the time, that didn’t mean he didn’t get angry.

And when he was, it was not a good sight to behold.

The guards immediately surrounded Jinhai in a protective stance.

“Who was it?” Liu Hai growled, his gaze turning dark.

Nobody had the guts to say anything. Even the one who threw the stone hid in the crowd of reporters.

Jinhai raised his hand and said, “It’s okay, Dad.”

“Bro, you are hurt! I will call a doctor right now!” He looked at him in concern, and his heart ached to see his brother admonished like that.

“Jing, no need. It’s just a scratch.” He nodded in reassurance.

Then Jinhai looked back at the media reporters and narrowed his eyes. He sneered. “If you think that I don’t know about somebody tipping you off and giving loads of money in your bank accounts to smear my name like that, then you are wrong. I know that not a single one of you cares about what happened to Tang Suyin. Do you all think I was born yesterday?”

The reporters started to sweat.

Indeed, this early morning, all media outlets and news channels got an anonymous tip of the videotape and cash up to millions of dollars, saying to expose Jinhai’s deeds and humiliate him the best they could.

Who could ignore that much money? Plus, it was sensational news that would skyrocket their TRPs like crazy. Who would miss the chance?

“More than demanding justice for Tang Suyin, you only want to demand high ratings for your channels. I am just a scapegoat for you all, and there is a high price to pay when you dare treat Liu Jinhai as a scapegoat.” His voice calm and threatening at the same time.

Liu Hai and Jing smirked.

One of the reporters asked, “Mr. Liu, this is blatant threatening. You are avoiding our questions.”

“Yes, Mr. Liu. All the citizens are furious at you for Tang Suyin’s treatment, especially women. What do you have to say about it?”

“Do you feel guilty for what you did?”

“What do Mrs. Tang Ning and Mr. Tang Feng say about this?”

Jinhai said, “First. I am not avoiding any questions. I already said what I had to in the banquet. If you cannot understand my confession, then you need to treat your ears and brain. Even if I went too far in my punishment, I am only answerable to one woman, and that is my wife.”

Before the reporters could say anything further, Jinhai raised his hand, and nobody dared to speak.

“Your second and third questions. No, I don’t feel guilty for what I did.”

That stirred them in a mad rush of excitement. All the netizens were furious at him, and instead of looking ashamed and remorseful for his actions, he confidently said the opposite.

Just how much backlash would he face for it?

Before Jinhai continued, he pointed at a woman reporter. “You. Come forward.”

She was terrified of being suddenly called out like that. But she tried to look composed.

“Yes, Mr. L-Liu?”

Jinhai mocked at her as he sneered. “Do you think you are so kind and big-hearted like my wife?”

She was confused. “S-sorry?”

The other reporters couldn’t understand either.

“Do you think you are on the same level as my sweet wife? Forget about being a reporter for a moment. Answer me as a woman. If you get raped one day, and you come to know that you were set up by another woman, who hated you, to be raped by a gang of men and if you get a chance to take your revenge, then will you not think about having her go through the same ordeal?”

The woman froze, and so did the other reporters. The question suddenly caught them by surprise.

Silence. Nobody knew how to answer. Even the other women fell in deep thought.

Jinhai sneered. “What? Do you think you are Mother Teresa? Tell me that you wouldn’t have thought of letting her taste the same pain?”

The woman reporter suddenly fell short of words. It was like she wanted to retort, but something inside her was stopping from saying anything.

“Of course, you will send her to jail but will it be so easy for you to give up that desire and revenge for the humiliation you suffered if you get a chance? Will you not grab it instead of wasting it to show her how utterly horrible rape really feels like? That will make you truly satisfied. You may lie in front of everyone to save your face, but your heart already knows the answer, am I not right?”

“I-I…” Sweat trickled down her forehead, and her face turned pale as she was shivering.

Indeed, she couldn’t cross her heart and say that she wouldn’t have chosen that revenge.

Liu Hai raised his brows in amusement.

Ah, my son always makes me proud.

“How many women can truly be like Nana who genuinely wouldn’t choose that option? That is the question I ask every woman who are pointing their fingers at me for being so cruel, especially those who may have faced sexual harassment at some point. You are all praising Nana and all for being kind, and that is good. My wife is indeed praiseworthy and the best in this whole universe.”

His gaze warmed for a moment as he thought about his lovely wife. Then it turned cold just as fast as he faced the reporters again.

“But if you yourself cannot be like Nana and have the guts and strength to make that same decision as she did to let go of revenge, then back out your shitty fingers and keep them to yourself. Don’t fucking dare blame me. Imagining yourself to be that kind and actually turning out to be one has a difference as large as heaven and earth.”
