Chapter 325: Chapter 344: A Counterattack (3rd Update)
The makeup store isnāt very big, so almost everyone could hear Lin Xiās voice. Instantly, everyone fell into silence, but after a moment, it became lively again.
At this time, though, they still watched the situation unfold quietly, not quite sure if what Lin Xi said was true or not. But if it was true, then the person before them would certainly deserve to die.
Because itās often reported online that certain girls were spotted by people claiming to be from certain film companies. After being taken away, they find out itās a scam. Not only were the girls robbed of their money, but their dignity as well, often ending up sold off as sex slaves.
So, the girls hated these types of scum the most. Once discovered, they would make sure they never forget it!
A bead of sweat appeared on Jia Chengās forehead. He turned to look at Lin Xi, realizing this was the guy who hit him at the karaoke last time, no wonder he recognized him!
He glanced at Yang Feifei with an unfriendly expression and noticed the gazes of the surrounding girls, who subtly blocked the exits. He secretly thought, "If I donāt handle this well today, Iām definitely going down!"
"And it would be worse than the beating from last time!"
At this point, he had no choice but to make sacrifices, and he absolutely couldnāt panic. He had to remain calm in his heart!
As a veteran conman, he was extremely experienced!
"So, itās you!" Jia Cheng glared at Lin Xi and shouted angrily, "Last time, you beat me up over your friendās ex-girlfriend; I havenāt settled that score yet!"
"And now, youāre daring to slander me!"
When he said this, he appeared extremely indignant, even showing everyone the scars on his face, and shouted at Lin Xi again, "Do you really think you can bully me?"
"..." Lin Xi was speechless for a moment, this guy was audaciously starting to justify himself, oblivious to his impending doom.
His brief silence made the audience mistakenly think Lin Xi was lying; perhaps they had a grudge before, and this was a deliberate setup?
Moreover, the girls believed that as a director at Grammy Films, there were surely plenty of girls throwing themselves at him, so occasional incidents were understandable.
Even Yang Feifei was somewhat shaken. After all, if someone were trying to steal her phone right from her pocket, it wouldnāt be an easy task.
Jia Cheng kept glaring at Lin Xi, noticing the change in peopleās expressions around him, and couldnāt help but feel smug inside, secretly thinking, "Stupid kid, trying to fight me, youāre way too immature!"
He swore that once this was over, heād make Lin Xi pay.
After all, he wasnāt the same as he was before, having recently joined the underground forces in South City, becoming a member of the Firefly Party.
Though the Firefly Party wasnāt the strongest faction in South City, their specialized profession and extraordinary unity meant that even those slightly stronger forces dared not provoke them.
After a moment of silence, Lin Xi looked at Jia Cheng again, a sly smile on his face, "Iāll give you one more chance to admit your mistake, or else the consequences will be dire!"
Seeing Lin Xiās calm demeanor, Jia Cheng suddenly felt uneasy.
Could he have some evidence?
He recalled carefullyāno way, the spot where he made his move was in the store cameraās blind spot, and no one noticed it. Otherwise, someone would have spoken up by now.
"Heās definitely bluffing, no way Iām falling for it!" Jia Cheng thought to himself, then turned to the hesitant Yang Feifei, "Miss, would you say something? This guy is nothing, right?"
His words were vague, allowing Yang Feifei to practice her discretion, while leaving no room for others to find flaws.
And he dared to say these words because he had just noticed the girlās initial expression when she saw Lin Xi wasnāt very favorable!
From this, he deduced there must be friction between them!
Yang Feifei didnāt expect Jia Cheng to ask her, and initially she was stunned, then subconsciously nodded slightly. In her mind, Lin Xi indeed didnāt leave the best impression.
Seeing her nod, Jia Cheng immediately felt elated and loudly said, "I told you, this guy is no good; everyone, donāt be fooled by him!"
"Iām Grammyās film director, would I stoop so low as to steal someoneās phone?"
Instantly, the surrounding girls thought Jia Cheng made a valid point and began speaking as if they were greatly deceived,
"Young as you are, instead of learning something good, you learn to slander!"
"Exactly, looks quite handsome, who knew he was like this!"
"Truly shameless, probably resorting to anything to chase girls!"
"..."
