"Mr. Unknown and Ms. Mu, I advise you to give up. You have no chance of winning this lawsuit," a lawyer named Bai Yun said calmly.
Mu Xin's face darkened. "I don't believe it. Taking Shi Wan's side, aren't you just asking for a scolding?"
Bai Yun smiled faintly. "As they say, I only stand on the side of justice."
Everyone present was stunned. What was going on?
Wasn't it said that Shi Wan had plagiarized?
"I see. Miss Bai is Shi Wan's long - time friend. It's understandable that she takes her side," someone murmured.
Mu Xin had already guessed all these things. To know the enemy and oneself is the key to victory in a hundred battles. She had investigated everything about Shi Wan clearly.
Even Bai Yun's appearance at the scene tonight was within her plan.
"So that's it. The just lawyer is no longer just," Mu Xin's words dispelled everyone's doubts.
"However, with Bai Yun here, this lawsuit will be really hard to win," someone whispered.
"Hard to win? The evidence and witnesses are conclusive..."
"What do you know? It doesn't matter. Even if she wins, everyone knows that Shi Wan is a plagiarist. Can those netizens let her go?"
"It seems so. If she wins this lawsuit, it will be a stain on Shi Wan's life."
"I think so too."
"..."
"Ms. Mu is determined to win?" Shi Wan chuckled. "I wonder if Ms. Mu has ever heard the saying that the truth will always be the truth, and falsehood will always be falsehood."
"I only care about winning," Mu Xin replied.
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint Ms. Mu and this gentleman," Shi Wan said.
"What do you mean?"
Shi Wan sighed softly. "L is also a human being. How could she not have a social life? She once said that she was good friends with Er Lan. You're not unfamiliar with this, are you?"
"Of course," the man answered quickly. "But the Er Lan you mentioned has already retired from the entertainment circle and doesn't want to get involved in this matter at all. Moreover, she has gone abroad."
"Have you ever met her?"
"Of course," the man said seriously. "Back then, when I was a bit famous, she once pursued me for a while. After I rejected her, our interactions became less."
Shi Wan twitched the corner of her mouth and subconsciously looked at Er Lan standing off - stage.
Disgusting! Was Er Lan blind to pursue him? He looked so weak. It was hard to believe anyone would be interested in him.
But others were obviously convinced by his words.
"L is really excellent. If it were any of you, wouldn't you do the same?"
"I'd fall for someone because of their looks, but I'd stay for their talent. I don't think I would," someone said.
"..."
Someone's words made everyone present fall silent. The people on the stage looked even more embarrassed.
"Alright, Shi Wan. You've asked what you wanted to ask. What else do you want? We'll also find out how you got the first draft. As for you..."
Mu Xin interrupted the man before he could finish. He was just an imposter. The more he talked, the more likely he was to expose himself.
"Why not let the person involved tell us?" Shi Wan said.
"What?" The two were stunned. Mu Xin said, "Shi Wan, are you joking? L is already standing here..."
"I'm talking about Er Lan."
"It's impossible. Er Lan has retired from the entertainment circle. There's no way she'd..."
Before she could finish, a familiar - looking woman stood beside Shi Wan and stared at them coldly.
Mu Xin's words got stuck in her throat. How could this be...
"Er Lan can't possibly appear. She's abroad," the man said.
He was the only one speaking on the scene and didn't notice the strange and surprised looks from others.
He rambled on, "We shouldn't disturb Er Lan's wishes."
"Stop spouting nonsense," Er Lan said coldly.
"Who are you?"
Before Mu Xin could stop him, the man blurted out.
Oh no!
"This is the well - known Miss Er Lan, the one who, according to you, once pursued you. What? Mr. L, after being friends with her for so many years, don't you even recognize her?" Shi Wan curled her lips. "I thought Er Lan hadn't changed much."
"Er Lan?" The man panicked for a second and then said, "You, a plagiarist, not only want to impersonate me but also find someone else to act? It's really..."
"Enough!" Mu Xin couldn't help but scold.
It was so embarrassing. Hadn't she told him to be well - prepared?
How could he not even recognize Er Lan?
Wasn't Er Lan abroad?
Could it be...
Impossible!
The thought that had just emerged was quickly dispelled by Mu Xin. This was absolutely impossible.
"Mr. L can't even recognize Er Lan? I recognized her as soon as she came up," someone said.
"What does this mean? Isn't this a slap in the face?"
Everyone quickly noticed something was wrong and whispered to each other.
"So..."
"Is Mr. L a fake? Then who is the real one? Shi Wan?"
"Wasn't she a plagiarist?"
"..."
By this point, like Mu Xin, many people had a thought in mind. Although this thought seemed rather unrealistic, it at least showed that Shi Wan and Mr. L knew each other.
However, the next second, Er Lan's words completely convinced them.
"Boss, has your account been hacked? Otherwise, why would you say you plagiarized?"
Shi Wan nodded. "I had no choice. They hired a top - level hacker. I couldn't beat them."
Er Lan calmly took a sip of wine and stared coldly at the two of them. "Where's your face?"
Mu Xin and the others felt their faces burning. Er Lan's appearance and her support were more powerful than any evidence.
L and she were close friends. No one would doubt her words.
"Boss?"
This address hit everyone like a huge wave.
"I suddenly feel a bit dizzy..."
"Me too. This world is so strange. Just now I was thinking that L couldn't be Shi Wan, but Er Lan's single 'boss' has sent me back to the primitive world."
"Shi Wan, just reveal all your identities at once. Stop shocking us!"
"Look at the faces of the people from Senyue Entertainment. They look so ugly."
"Getting slapped in the face by the real person, can they look good?"
"..."
Mu Xin stared at Shi Wan, wishing she could turn back time. She had calculated everything but these two steps. It seemed that Shi Wan had known her plan in advance and set up everything.
All the helplessness and panic just now were traps she had laid to lead Mu Xin into. And Mu Xin had stupidly walked into them.
"Ms. Mu doesn't seem to be in a good mood?"
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Shi. Let's end today's matter here."
Mu Xin was so angry that she almost spat out blood. She left with her people after coldly saying this.
Fortunately, all the reporters she had brought today were on her side. Otherwise, the news about Senyue Entertainment would be all over the place tomorrow.
However, with Shi Wan's move, the remaining things definitely couldn't proceed as planned.
Shi Wan curled her lips and got off the stage. Er Lan followed behind her and managed to scare everyone away with her cold expression.
Shen Siyan reached out and took her hand. "Little wife, what other talents do you have that I don't know about?"
"Guess."
The man chuckled. "I'll wait for little wife to tell me."
Er Lan, who had originally been standing behind them, left directly when she saw this.
She was too lazy to watch them show their affection.
Tonight, Senyue Entertainment had become a laughingstock.
In the car, Shen Siyan was on the phone, dealing with matters. Shi Wan sat beside him, playing with the diamond cufflinks on his shirt.
After a while, the man suddenly fell silent and stared at the restless little woman beside him.
