Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 124 Warning

Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Warning

"Tu Hengsha!" Su Ronggui held her with one hand and called her name.

The scene was so intense that even Su Rongxing didn’t notice his action.

"Don’t call me!" At this moment, Tu Hengsha felt both of them were just disgusting and utterly vile!

At that moment, Su Rongxing’s hand swung over because Tu Hengsha was held by Su Ronggui and couldn’t dodge. Just as the slap was about to land on Tu Hengsha’s face, someone suddenly emerged and blocked Su Rongxing’s hand.

"Hao Ren! You bastard!" Su Rongxing, seeing she couldn’t hit Tu Hengsha, was furious. With her other hand, she clawed at him, leaving a big scratch on Hao Ren’s face.

"Rongxing!" Su Ronggui finally went to grab Su Rongxing.

"Quiet, all of you! What is this commotion?" A voice shouted, and Chief Zhou appeared, "Tu Hengsha, come with me."

This was exactly what Tu Hengsha wanted! She was looking to find the editor-in-chief!

She didn’t even glance at the two from the Su family and turned to follow Chief Zhou.

Hao Ren touched the scratches on his face and let go of Su Rongxing.

Su Rongxing, however, turned and slapped him again, "You’re just like Tu Hengsha! Don’t think I don’t know you two are in cahoots! Shameless filth! A conniving pair!"

Hao Ren, already angry, grabbed Su Rongxing by the neck, "You better watch your filthy mouth! Don’t think I won’t hit women! And don’t assume everyone’s going to accommodate you! You act like gold in front of your own people, but in others’ eyes, you’re just a pile of shit!"

Hao Ren didn’t grip too hard, but enough to make Su Rongxing flush red and struggle to breathe.

Then Su Ronggui came over, urging Hao Ren to let go.

Hao Ren glanced at Su Ronggui, shoved Su Rongxing towards him, and pointed at her, warning, "Su Rongxing! It’s not my habit to point fingers, but I’ll make an exception for you today! Listen up! I’ve disapproved of your actions for a long time! What you did to my face, I’ll remember! Today, I won’t retaliate, but let it be known that I stand unconditionally with Tu Hengsha! What now? Do not let me catch you bullying Tu Hengsha again! Or else, every time I see you, I’ll hit you! What good is your family’s money? I’m not afraid! I’ll quit this job if I have to! I’ve got nothing to lose, so you better watch out!"

Never in Su Rongxing’s life had she suffered such grievances! Nor had anyone dared to threaten her! Hao Ren’s menacing demeanor was indeed somewhat frightening, and she immediately leaned against Su Ronggui, crying, "Su Ronggui! Look at him! Look at how he bullies me..."

Su Ronggui furrowed his brows, expressionless, "Enough! Go sit down."

"Su Ronggui!" Su Rongxing’s face fell, did even Su Ronggui not stand by her now?

"Su Rongxing!" He called her name just like she did, his face stern.

"Fine! Fine! You’re all bullying me! What did I do wrong? I just wrote an article, for my sake? This article brought a high amount of traffic and clicks to the newspaper! I even put all your names on it! The editor-in-chief signed off as well! If I had malicious intentions, wouldn’t I have just put my own name? And what now?" She turned angrily to leave, "I’ll talk to the editor-in-chief too!"

Su Ronggui and Hao Ren faced each other, Su Ronggui’s eyes harboring less kindness, while Hao Ren was disdainful of talking further, simply stating, "Want to avenge your sister? I’m up for it any time! But please, keep your sister in check! We may be poor, but our fists are strong!"

With that, he dragged a chair with force, sending it crashing into Su Ronggui’s knee.

Su Ronggui winced slightly from the pain.

Meanwhile, Su Rongxing had already reached the editor-in-chief’s office, pressing against the door to eavesdrop.

Tu Hengsha stood across from the editor, still seething with anger, "Chief Zhou! I now demand that this news be retracted, and we need to issue a public apology! This is not just my demand, it’s also what the interviewee is asking for! This article has already caused distress and pain to the interviewee! They have called to make their grievances clear! Besides, wasn’t all the material used by Su Rongxing mine? Did she get my permission before using it? Did I agree to her publishing all of it?"

"Xiao Tu, weren’t you hospitalized at that time? You know, in journalism, timing is everything! We couldn’t wait for you to get discharged before publishing! And although it wasn’t under your consent, you and Su Ronggui did the interview together, so when he agreed, it was assumed you did too!" Chief Zhou patiently explained.

Tu Hengsha’s suspicion was confirmed, leaving her half disappointed. "Ha! Su Ronggui agreed? On what grounds? What right did he have to agree? Everything belonged to me! Mei and Ge Yun talked only to me! Su Ronggui never even met them! What right had he to say yes? Now let me make it clear! I do not agree to publish their stories! Neither do they! Thus, I request a retraction!"

"Retraction? How? The print version is already out, how do you retract that? It’s impossible!" Chief Zhou showed reluctance to continue the discussion, "As for Su Rongxing, her intentions were good; she wanted to help those women in the pneumoconiosis villages and make it a high-traffic article simultaneously, so let’s leave it at that, but be more careful in the future. You can leave now, harmony among colleagues is vital, and as you’re new here, you must appreciate the importance of teamwork, don’t be too impetuous."

Tu Hengsha stood still, "Chief Zhou, I came to Chenjiang Newspaper with immense admiration for you, whether it was your brilliant performance as a chief reporter in this industry or later leading Chenjiang’s reporters in writing one groundbreaking article after another. You’ve been a benchmark in my journalist career, but I never expected the day would come when you too would become a slave to click rates, forsaking all principles for traffic?"

Chief Zhou slammed the table, "Tu Hengsha! What nonsense are you spouting?"

"It doesn’t matter what I say! What’s important is, just moments ago Mei called, crying, begging me to delete the news! She said she just wanted to live well! She said she doesn’t want to listen to the unbearable gossip around! She said she regrets telling me these things! I don’t know how strong Mei’s mental fortitude is, but public opinion is fearsome and could be destructive. I truly fear that tomorrow’s news might report the suicide of a woman! By that point, we’ll have truly feasted on her misery! If you don’t believe me, check the call log, call her back, ask Mei herself if she said so!" Tu Hengsha pointed to the door.

Outside the door, Su Rongxing heard this and left silently.
