Chapter 12
Chapter 12 — I Was Forced to Pay 400,000 Yuan for an Unreal Window
Every time I finished a sentence... I could hear the sound of a sharp intake of breath and the sound of the keyboard typing continuously on the other end of the line.
“Miss Chu, don't worry!”
“This will definitely be the biggest hot news this year!”
“This press conference, our editorial office will support!”
“We will invite all influential media agencies in Giang Thanh…”
“The whole province came to participate!”
Reporter Tran excitedly promised.
“The scheduled time is 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow.”
“We will find a large enough hall for the location.”
“It's temporarily decided like that.”
After hanging up the phone... I looked at the vandalized car in front of me. With the words "Want to die" bright red on the windshield. Liu Jianjun. Don't you want to play? Then I will play a big game with you. I want to expose your entire conspiracy and filth... Under the spotlight of the whole city. It is before the eyes of the whole country. I want to see... When the light shines into every dark corner... The poisonous snake only knows how to crawl in the sewer like you... Where else can it hide? The press conference scene was lit up like day by countless flash lights. Long lines of microphones rose from all four directions. Like a dense metal forest. Almost all famous media agencies in Giang Thanh have arrived. Television stations' cameras were set up in a tight row in the back. As for the reporters in front, they either bowed their heads and took notes endlessly... Or raised their phones to livestream live. I sat in the middle of the press conference podium. Next to him is Truong Vi in a neat suit, looking extremely professional and sharp. Several other members of the residents' representative board... Including Ly Kien Quoc, who was still a bit pale... Sitting behind us as representatives of all residents. Below the stage... were nearly a hundred pairs of eyes full of curiosity and excitement. They are like sharks with the sharpest sense of smell. But today... They smelled blood. I gently cleared my throat. Look straight at the microphone in front of you. Using a calm, almost cold tone...
“Hello reporters.”
“I am Chu Nhien.”
“Owner of apartment 1201, building 12, area three Phi Thuy Giang Nam.”
My introduction was extremely brief. Not a single redundant sentence. The scene immediately fell silent. Only the sound of the camera "clicking" echoed continuously.
“Everyone is invited here today…”
“It's to clarify one thing.”
“At the same time, announce some truths to the whole society.”
I pressed the spacebar on the laptop in front of me. The large screen on the back immediately displayed a high-definition photo. It is a lonely abandoned apartment building standing in the middle of a lot. The focus of the photo... is the dead end staircase that stops at the eleventh floor.
“A few days ago…”
“I received a phone call from manager Vuong of Phi Thuy Giang Nam management board.”
“He said my apartment 1201 had a falling window…”
“Destroyed five cars below.”
“Ask me for compensation of 400,000 yuan.”
As soon as I finished speaking... Below, a series of exclamations and unbelievable whispers immediately rang out. Even though many people have watched the related video online... But at this moment... When the insider recounts it directly... The mythical feeling and shocking force are still so strong that it's scary.
“The photo everyone is seeing…”
“It's a photo taken at the scene after the incident.”
“I and Mr. Luu Kien Quan on the investor side…”
“Management King of the management board…”
“And over a hundred residents…”
“We went to the place to check.”
“The truth is…”
“My apartment is on the twelfth floor.”
“But that twelfth floor…”
“The base has never been built yet.”
I pressed the spacebar again. A video immediately played on the big screen. That was the confrontation scene on the rooftop that day. Liu Jianjun was so angry that he pointed into space and asked me why I was inciting the residents. Calmly ask him a question again.
“Where is my window?”
The video is a bit shaky... But all conversations can be heard clearly. Liu Jianjun's aggressive attempt to resist... My chilling calmness... Along with the tsunami-like laughter from the surrounding residents... Created a dramatic contrast. The eyes of the reporters below immediately lit up. This is the hottest material. Most direct. Enough explosive power. I turn off the video. His eyes scanned the entire hall.
“A floor that doesn't exist.”
“A window that doesn't exist.”
“And yet you want me to compensate 400,000 yuan.”
“I want to ask everyone here a question…”
“What exactly is this behavior?”
I do not directly draw conclusions. But throw that question back to everyone. But the answer... It's too obvious. Don't wait for reporters to ask questions. I continued talking.
“It's not over yet.”
“When we residents decided to unite…”
“Decided to use the law to protect my legal rights…”
“What we received…”
“Not an apology from the investor.”
“It's not a solution either.”
“The threats and revenge are even more despicable.”
