Chapter 667: Chapter 667: Hired a Private Detective?!

Behind his dark sunglasses, Xi Yang could feel the invisible intimidating force emanating from Chen Qijun.

He swallowed hard, knowing full well he couldn’t be vague in front of her, but the revelation of Tai Fan’s identity had successfully undermined his confidence.

Xi Yang’s mind was racing, and he immediately bowed his head to apologize, "I’m sorry, Mr. Chen, this was indeed my fault. I accidentally damaged Shiguang’s guitar, which is why he got so angry. I will compensate him with a new guitar."

Tai Fan sensed something was off right away.

Where was this an admission of wrong? Xi Yang was clearly trying to brush off the matter!

If they let him get away with just a casual apology today, wouldn’t Little Shiguang end up being bullied even more in the future?

"No way!" Defying the pressure from his mother, Tai Fan bravely stepped forward, "I don’t think it was an accident, but rather intentional! Shiguang treasures his guitar the most and always keeps it well-protected. How could you accidentally damage it? Moreover, you and Liu Qian have been targeting him all along, making Little Shiguang too scared to return to his dorm. This account must be settled today!"

[??? Holy shit, is it true that Xi Yang and Liu Qian have been bullying Shiguang in the dormitory?]

[No wonder Shiguang spends all day in the practice room and hardly ever goes back to the dormitory.]

[That can’t be right, Xi Yang seems like a nice guy, how could he be such a person? It must be Tai Fan trying to sully his reputation!]

[Definitely, these two are just jealous of Brother Yang’s achievements and want to push him out for their own ends!]

[One is a seed player cultivated by the company through numerous hardships, and the other is their own son, I wonder what Mr. Chen is going to do about it?]

Xi Yang was equally unyielding as he argued his case, "Tai Fan, do you have any evidence that I targeted Shiguang? Please don’t smear people so recklessly. This is a live broadcast, and a single word can bring a person to the bottom. You suspect that I did it on purpose, now I have reason to suspect that you’re doing it deliberately too."

"You!" Tai Fan gritted his teeth and stamped his foot.

"Enough, stop arguing!" Chen Qijun’s patience had run out, and she stood up again, "I understand the arguments from both sides. Since each of you has a point, let’s find a third party to resolve this."

"I’ve contacted the legal department and a private detective; they’ll be here shortly. Then we’ll see who’s in the wrong."

Everyone was taken aback, completely surprised that Chen Qijun would go to such lengths, even bringing in a private detective.

Was all this necessary for just a minor skirmish?

But Wen Feifei understood all too well.

Sister Chen’s move was meant, firstly, to make an example and intimidate the trainees, giving them a bit of a warning. After all, these young men had been living in such a confined space with no entertainment, and frictions had been continual since the day the program started. Today it might just be a fight, but if something worse happened in the future, it wouldn’t be something a detective could handle.

Secondly, a big fuss like this was needed to grab attention. The two previous hit shows, "Wilderness Survival 30 Days" and "All-Round Brain," had already ended. If their show didn’t make a move now, then when would they?

So, she quickly got in touch with the PR department and drafted a dozen plans, catapulting the whole matter into the trending searches.

Ten minutes later, the legal department arrived at the trainee dormitory with some people in tow. freewēbnoveℓ.com

[Holy moly, there really is a detective!]

[Chen Qijun’s badass, I thought she would favor one side.]

[Alright, now nobody curse anyone else, just wait for the official results.]

In a blink, millions of onlookers swarmed into the live broadcast, heating everything up.

Xi Yang’s expression was a bit stiff.

Xi Yang’s agent watched the livestream, not daring to breathe too loudly.

She knew what Xi Yang was like, but he had encountered the hard nut that was Mr. Chen today, and had no option but to take his lumps.

Sure enough, after some inspection, the detective turned to Chen Qijun.

Chen Qijun’s expression didn’t change, "Just announce your findings, there’s no need to avoid the camera, we value fairness and justice the most."

The detective coughed, "Before I came here, Mr. Chen had already explained the situation to me, so I also brought along a craftsman who specializes in making guitars. According to his observation, the extent of the damage to this guitar doesn’t look like it was accidental, but rather as if it had been struck with great force. In addition, we found not only Shiguang’s fingerprints on it but also Xi Yang’s fingerprints..."

It was clear from this point on.

If Xi Yang had only accidentally touched Jiang Shixu’s guitar case, how could his fingerprints have appeared on the guitar?!

"There you go!" Tai Fan straightened up instantly, "I said you had ulterior motives! Now everyone can see clearly, who is really innocent!"

[Holy crap! The tables have turned!]

[Why would Xi Yang do that? How could he just touch someone else’s things? To damage it and then refuse to admit it, that’s too much!]

[Poor Shiguang, if it hadn’t been for Tai Fan, he would have been really unlucky today.]

Xi Yang’s face turned from pale to flushed, and he hastily turned to Chen Qijun to explain, "Mr. Chen, I really didn’t mean to do it, I just wanted to look at Shiguang’s guitar for a moment, I truly just lost my grip and it fell to the floor."

Then he hurriedly ran over and grabbed Jiang Shixu’s hand.

"I’m sorry, Shiguang, I know you must be holding a grudge against me in your heart, I just thought your guitar looked really nice and wanted to borrow it for a moment, I never intended for it to end up like this, I’m sorry, hit me if you want, just as long as you’re not angry, do anything to me!"

Xi Yang’s acting was truly top-notch, his "deep and heartfelt" words, coupled with his eyes turning red, immediately made his fans feel sorry for him.

[Brother Yang didn’t do it on purpose, it’s just a guitar, do we really need to make such a big deal out of it?]

[Right, and Xi Yang has already taken a beating, hasn’t Shiguang cooled down yet?]

Jiang Shixu clenched his fists.

He was more than just resentful, he absolutely loathed Xi Yang.

But seeing Tai Fan and Ling Bei speaking up for him, he had to suppress this resentment, and after shaking off Xi Yang’s hand, he indifferently said, "Never mind."

Tai Fan exploded again, just about to say something, but was glared back into silence by a look from Chen Qijun.

Chen Qijun addressed everyone, "Since this matter is Xi Yang’s fault, he indeed deserves to be punished. Cleaning toilets and facing the wall to reflect on his actions are of course necessary, and as for Shiguang’s guitar, you must have it repaired to be exactly like it was before, and I’ll have Feifei supervise you."

The guitar craftsman beside them muttered softly, "To repair this guitar properly, it’s going to cost tens of thousands."

People around inhaled sharply.

Even a finished guitar worth tens of thousands was considered extremely good, so how come just repairing this one would cost so much?!

Xi Yang’s face turned white.

He was just a trainee and didn’t have much of a salary, even scraping together everything he had in his pockets might only come to around a hundred thousand.

And now this broken guitar was going to cost him half his savings?!
