Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Clearing Everything Up
He had never imagined that this person was already aware of everything.
And how exactly did he come to know all of this?
It certainly took Old Luo by surprise; he had no idea what kind of abilities Liu Zheng possessed.
At this moment, he also felt that he might have been doomed.
If things continued this way, then sooner or later all would be exposed, and his own objectives would be unattainable.
How could this not be a terrifying prospect for him?
It was at this time.
The onlookers were also somewhat confused, unsure of what Liu Zheng meant.
After all, they had not experienced all of this, so there was a lot they didn’t understand.
Who would have thought that at this moment, the elderly woman they had pronounced dead would appear?
It was late last night and the road was difficult to navigate, and with the darkness, it was very inconvenient for her to return.
So she stayed at a hotel nearby.
Early this morning, she heard people making a racket downstairs continuously.
She wanted to come down and see what the commotion was about.
To her surprise, after watching for a while, she realized that this matter seemed to involve her.
Once she found out everything that person had done, even attempting to poison her to death, she would certainly stand up and speak out to support Liu Zheng.
The other old ladies and elderly gentlemen were still struggling in vain.
But just then, to everyone’s astonishment, the elderly woman appeared right beside Liu Zheng.
When Liu Zheng saw her, a smile appeared on his face.
Then he turned to the crowd and said,
"It seems I won’t need to say anything more. The person you claimed was dead is now alive before you. What do you have to say now?"
When the actors saw this scene, they couldn’t help but widen their eyes slightly.
They had never imagined that such a scene would occur.
When the onlookers saw this unfold, they were truly stunned; they had never expected everything to develop in this way.
How could this not be extremely surprising to them?
"My goodness, it seems to be the elderly woman. I watched her go in yesterday, and now isn’t she just fine? What did those people mean?"
"Right, right, what exactly happened?"
The spectators were puzzled and completely clueless about what had really happened.
How could they not find this utterly incomprehensible?
Soon, the elderly woman joined Liu Zheng’s side, vouching for him.
"Everything these people said is completely different from the truth, and I don’t know them at all. They aren’t my neighbors."
"At first, I did take money from someone to come here and slander Liu Zheng, but later I realized that the pill they had me take was intended to kill me."
"Fortunately, Liu Zheng discovered everything and saved my life. Otherwise, they might have succeeded in their scheme, and he could now be falsely smearing Liu Zheng."
After the elderly woman earnestly revealed these words, everyone present was shocked; they had never anticipated such a revelation.
At this moment.
All faces were filled with utter astonishment.
Because before this, they had never thought things would unfold in such a manner.
They never expected this elderly woman would stand up and speak in support of Liu Zheng.
When Old Luo, hiding in the shadows, heard these words, he was truly astonished.
He had never thought things would turn out this way; this was not at all the result he had intended.
If things continued like this, who knew what would come next.
By now, all the actors were completely bewildered.
This was not at all what they had been told.
At this moment, the elderly woman continued,
"Because it was late yesterday, I decided to stay nearby for one night. In addition, I had some personal matters to attend to, so I wasn’t in a hurry to return. I didn’t expect that you would do such a thing."
She had intended to take this opportunity to apologize to Li Yanling and the others.
So she was not in a rush to go back.
It was fortunate she didn’t, for who knows how they might have further tarnished Liu Zheng’s reputation.
When Liu Zheng heard the elderly woman’s words, he felt truly relieved.
Fortunately, everything had been cleared up; otherwise, who knew what might have happened next.
He immediately said to the actors,
"All right, there’s no need for you to continue acting. The person involved is here now, and your performance is pointless."
After hearing this, how could the audience not understand the logic?
They were older and naturally wise.
They could not just continue the act on site for no benefit.
In the end, they could only nod and leave in succession.
Once they were gone, the onlookers were finally able to discern who had told the truth and who had lied.
"My goodness, who could have anticipated such an event?"
"Yes, indeed, I never imagined it. I must say, it’s all quite unbelievable."
"Oh, Liu Zheng, we really misunderstood you. But now that the misunderstanding is cleared, there’s nothing much to worry about."
Soon enough, the onlookers dispersed one after another.
The matter was resolved, and they had no reason to stay any longer.
After they had left, the elderly woman immediately turned to Liu Zheng and said,
"I truly thank you for saving my life in this ordeal, and I am really sorry for the wrongs I committed against you."
"I was out of line before, but now I fully realize my mistakes, and I am very grateful to you for this time."
When the elderly woman expressed herself in this way, Liu Zheng simply shook his head gently and replied,
"It’s all right, everything is over now, and there’s nothing much to be concerned about."
