Chapter 96 - News Conference
Chapter 96: News Conference
The police worked tirelessly to interrogate the suspects they had arrested. In front of hard evidence, most of the criminals admitted to their crimes. The progress of the investigation of the case was close to 60%, and public opinion had already reached a boiling point. If they did not appease the public soon, there would be social problems.
The police had no choice but to hold an early press conference.
Many media outlets had already received the news and surrounded the venue of the press conference. After arriving, they realized that other than the protagonist of the press conference… the police, there were also two ordinary people on stage who were obviously not part of the police force.
All of a sudden, the media was stunned. However, some of the media who were especially attentive to gossip had already recognized the two. They were the heads of the Yu Corporation, Yu Lang, and his youngest sister, Yu Yao.
The reporters were all very puzzled. Why had these two people appeared at the police’s press conference? Although the Yu family was considered a wealthy family with a high degree of interest, their identities were still at odds with this press conference.
However, as the police from the task force made their statements regarding the case, the reporters finally figured out why Yu Lang and Yu Yao were there. As they exclaimed in their hearts, they raised their cameras and kept taking pictures of Yu Lang and Yu Yao.
After the police finished their statement, it was time for the reporters to ask questions. The reporters asked some questions before turning their attention to Yu Lang and Yu Yao.
The reporters from these social news outlets were all very sharp with their questions. “Mr. Yu Lang, according to the police, you didn’t know that so many tragic cases had happened in the mental hospital before, but according to what we know, you have already invested in the mental hospital for five consecutive years. Do you think that just saying that you ‘didn’t know’ can explain your previous mistakes?”
“Mr. Yu, did the Yu Corporation participate in the crimes of the mental hospital?”
“Mr. Yu Lang, did you report the psychiatric hospital because of your conscience, or because both parties were uneven in their distribution of goods?”
…
Yu Lang’s expression was very calm. After all, he had long imagined that he might be questioned at the press conference and was mentally prepared.
He adjusted the microphone in front of him and said in a deep voice, “Before the investigation into the mental hospital, the Yu Corporation had been donating to it because the mental hospital is a charity project that the Yu Corporation has been paying attention to. I’m very sorry about the victims who were killed in the mental hospital. We originally had the chance to end the pain they suffered earlier, but due to negligence, the Yu Corporation did not discover the guilty side of the mental hospital.”
His answer could not satisfy the agitated reporters. One of them stood up and took a few angry steps forward, but was stopped by the police officers who were maintaining order. His indignant voice sounded.
“Is your explanation just a few words like ‘negligence’? I don’t believe that you don’t know anything about what the mental hospital has done. The Yu Corporation releases a press release every year about your participation in charity. Didn’t you patrol the mental hospital every year? Why didn’t you notice anything unusual? Or is being passionate about charity just one of your personas?”
Yu Lang wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yu Yao.
Yu Yao took the microphone and said, “I’m sorry for speaking without being asked, but I think I can answer your question.”
The reporters aimed their cameras and lights at Yu Yao.
Yu Yao tapped on her phone a few times, and an album appeared on the screen behind her. She opened the big picture and swiped it across one by one. On it were all her own nude photos. In the photos, it was unknown if she was sleeping soundly or unconscious. She had various poses and had only mosaicked the important areas. But through the mosaics, the reporters could tell that she was completely naked.
The reporters didn’t understand why Yu Yao had posted her nude photos, but they instinctively pressed the shutters.
Just as they were about to ask questions, Yu Yao took the initiative to answer their questions.
“This set of photos was taken by this mental hospital without my knowledge. Later, a man who has been pestering me used them to threaten me. Regarding this matter, I’ve already called the police. If you don’t believe me, you can check the relevant records.”
An anxious reporter raised his hand and asked, “Miss Yu Yao, how did the mental hospital get photos of you naked?”
“It looks like someone has noticed the important issue,” Yu Yao said. “This is naturally because I was once sent to a mental hospital and stayed there for a short time.”
There was an uproar among the reporters. They couldn’t be bothered with questions. They raised their cameras and aimed them at Yu Yao and Yu Lang, clearly capturing the guilt in Yu Lang’s eyes.
Yu Lang opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t stop Yu Yao from continuing.
