Chapter 16: Very Lucky
Wei Zihao stood in front of Zhu Fan. With his towering figure, it was impossible for Zhao Xinyi to see still Zhu Fan making her irritated.
Was the heavens against her?
First, she had been unable to break through the firewall. Now that she had even abandoned her principles just to get revenge on a scum like Zhu Fan, someone had snatched the perfect opportunity from her.
The two representatives from the Bureau Of Security stood up and rushed down the moment they saw their boss in the hall.
"Commander!" The both of them saluted, making everyone in the hall stunned.
The host was not left out as the scene became slightly chaotic.
Who was this man?
Zhu Fan had the same thoughts too and his heart thumped with fear as he saw the respect the two representatives gave the man.
"Mister Zhu Fan, do you dare claim that this work belongs to you?" Wei Zihao asked again. This time, his kingly aura wasn't restrained and made Zhu Fan feel like he was standing before a tall and strong tower.
That feeling of being a small figure that could be trampled down on made his throat clamp up and he was unable to answer.
The audience started to feel like something was wrong.
"Who's this man?"
"I don't know too, but with how those two greeted him. Perhaps he is the Commander of the Bureau of Security?" Someone smart made a guess and most people felt like it was the most reasonable guess.
Otherwise, why would people from the Bureau rush to salute him like that?
"Why is Zhu Fan not talking anymore?"
Impatience flickered in Wei Zihao's brows as he looked at the cowering figure before him. Annoyed, he turned back to look at Zhao Xinyi that was behind him.
Upon seeing him, Zhao Xinyi's brows arched upwards and she cursed in her mind.
'This man again!'
He had ruined her best and easiest plan and now he was here to ruin the escape plan that she had chosen.
"Created March 14, 2211, Miss Zhao Mei, did you ever sell the copyright of the created work to anyone?"
Zhao Xinyi's brows creased, she had missed a piece of information like the exact creation date from Zhao Mei's memories, but she at least knew that the work in question was indeed created two years ago.
"No," her answer was soft while her eyes were guarded as she waited to see what he was here for exactly.
Wei Zihao passed a small thumb drive to one of the representatives beside him. "Put this on the display screen for everyone to see."
The representative left and got things sorted. In less than five minutes, the display screen showed a page with less than five sentences.
While everyone was expecting Wei Zihao to talk, he stepped aside and walked to one of the empty front seats to sit down.
Zhao Xinyi's gaze didn't leave him as she wondered what role this man had come to play.
A man in the audience stepped forward. Unlike their reaction to Wei Zihao, more people recognised him, and even the old man from the Lin Family stood up as soon as he saw him.
The host was quick to act, also. "Forgive us, deputy commander. Amidst everything that was happening, we didn't notice your arrival."
"I came here to clarify some matters," the host nodded in understanding and handed him the microphone.
"As the Bureau of Security, our most important role is maintaining justice and laws that guide the District."
Lin Wei was like a beacon of authority. Just by standing there to talk to them, everyone in the hall didn't dare to make a sound.
He was the face of the Bureau of Security, and everyone knew that he had only one person above him in the entire district.
"Regarding the work being investigated, we have done our investigations too and confirmed that this work belongs to Miss Zhao Mei!"
Unlike when Zhao Xinyi was talking, their reaction was more controlled, with several gasps and light murmurs.
Zhu Fan shot up from his seat, but one glance from Lin Wei had him sitting back dispiritedly.
"From the screen, this is the first date this work was created on Miss Zhao Mei's first computer…."
Lin Wei carefully explained the results that Wei Zihao had given him.
Zhao Xinyi's body had been tense with worry from when Wei Zihao entered the room. However, after seeing everything displayed on the screen, her body finally relaxed, and her clenched fists relaxed slightly.
She could tell that this was a result of her break-in the other night.
When she had tried to get his level access to get all these information, he had refused and had her thrown out.
However, it seemed that after she had gone, he had made his subordinates look into it.
She couldn't help but glance over at the man seated in one corner in front.
The seats were low and his long legs stretched out in front of him.
"From these, it is easy to see that Mister Zhu Fan has taken the hard work and sweat of Miss Zhao Mei and took it as his own!"
The words echoed in the silent hall. It was only after Lin Wei stepped down from the stage and passed the microphone to the host that the silence was broken.
"So Zhu Fan was actually the culprit?"
"It's hard to believe that I was tricked by that bastard!"
A lot of people that had willingly defamed Zhao Xinyi a moment ago now felt righteous indignation on her behalf.
On the other hand, Zhu Fan and his family all had pale white faces. Never in their wildest imagination did they think that something like this could have happened.
Why did the Bureau of Security get involved in a matter like this?!
Yu Lan wasn't any different. Not only was she embarrassed that her boyfriend was being labelled a thief and being cursed by everyone, she was even angrier that Zhao Xinyi was going to take the win.
"Miss Zhao Mei, do you have anything else to say?" The host asked Zhao Xinyi, who was still standing beneath the stage.
Zhao Xinyi took a deep breath before nodding sideways.
The Bureau had settled the matter for her. Even though it helped her, she also felt like Zhu Fan was very lucky.
If they hadn't stepped in, Zhu Fan would have become an idiot by now!
