He fell to the ground in a sorry state, unable to get up for quite a while. It was only the hotel manager who couldn’t bear to see it and came forward to help him up.
But that’s all there was to it.
All the men present, including the hotel manager, couldn’t help feeling nauseous when they thought about the scene of the two of them entering the room together earlier.
After he helped Zhang Jiao up from the ground, he quickly pulled his hand back, as if he were afraid of catching some virus.
Only Mei Shu didn’t mind him and sincerely comforted him, saying, “Mr. Zhang, it’s okay. Everyone has their own preferences, and I will respect yours.”
Zhang Jiao looked at her with a fierce expression, his fist clenched tightly at his side.
Mei Yun was worried that Zhang Jiao, under the pressure of humiliation, would harm Mei Shu. He quickly pulled her behind him and said, “Mr. Zhang, now that things have come to this, do you still want to push all the blame onto my daughter?”
Before Zhang Jiao could say anything, Lin Feng couldn’t take it anymore and rushed forward, saying, “It was clearly your daughter’s doing! She’s the one who harmed me!”
“Young Master Lin, the surveillance clearly shows that Miss Mei didn’t even enter that room. How could she harm you like that?” Someone, unable to bear Lin Feng bullying a young girl, spoke up in Mei Shu’s defense.
Lin Feng was completely infuriated. He directly grabbed the collar of one of the staff members, pulled him in front of the monitor, and started adjusting the surveillance time himself.
Seeing Lin Feng persistently trying to frame the young girl, someone shook their head in disdain.
They had heard of Lin Feng’s behavior in the past. He was known for being overbearing and unreasonable in this circle, but this time, he had gone too far!
Not only had he done something as scandalous as publicly having sex with a man,
but now he was also trying to shift the blame onto a young girl after being caught. It was truly unreasonable.
Lin Feng didn’t have time to care about what others were saying behind his back. Right now, he just wanted to know the truth!
He found the surveillance video of himself calling Mei Shu in the lobby, pointed at the screen excitedly, and said, “Here it is!”
Everyone quickly leaned over to take a look. They saw Lin Feng dressed as a waiter, holding a tray in his hand. After saying something to Mei Shu with his head lowered, Mei Shu followed him into the elevator, looking worried.
Once again, everyone’s attention turned to Mei Shu.
Mei Yun quickly explained for his daughter, “After I came out of the restroom earlier, I couldn’t find Shu’er. Later, she told me that someone used the excuse of me being drunk and in need of care to take her upstairs.”
This instantly changed everyone’s looks.
Tonight, Mei Yun was the second center of attention at the event, apart from the host, Zhang Jue.
They all knew Mei Yun’s capacity for alcohol.
Her father hadn’t been drunk tonight, and yet Lin Feng had used that as an excuse to lure a young girl into a room! It was truly shameless!
Lin Feng knew he was in the wrong, so he held his tongue, his eyes fixed on the surveillance footage.
He found the surveillance footage from after him coming out of the elevator, only to be shocked when he realized that it showed only himself and no sign of Mei Shu.
Mei Shu looked at this and explained with a timid tone, “I had a stomach ache earlier tonight, so I went to the restroom halfway through. Young Master Lin told me the floor where my father was, so I planned to take the elevator up by myself after coming out of the restroom.”
It was clear that her story was consistent with the surveillance footage. After a short while, Mei Shu’s figure appeared on the surveillance video. But immediately after that, Zhang Jiao also took an elevator up, and the two of them passed each other without saying a word.
Next came the footage from the beginning of the surveillance, with Zhang Jiao knocking on the door, and then he and Lin Feng entering the room to engage in activities that couldn’t be witnessed.
Then it was the scene where everyone took the elevator up together because they were concerned about Zhang Jue.
Everything was clear now.
The reason Zhang Jiao had said what he did at the beginning was probably because he had seen Mei Shu in the hallway.
Perhaps he was worried that Mei Shu would reveal the truth, so he wanted to preemptively shift the blame onto her, making it difficult for a young girl like her to defend herself!
What a malicious person he was!
People looked at the two of them with different eyes.
Zhang Jiao couldn’t believe it. He rushed over and took the mouse from Lin Feng, adjusting the time to re-watch the scene where he and Mei Shu passed by each other. He was shocked beyond words.
How could it be like this?
This was completely different from his memory.
Was there something wrong with his brain, or was someone behind Mei Shu helping her tamper with the surveillance footage?
Lin Feng naturally thought the same!
The story that Mei Shu had a stomach ache and went to the restroom halfway through had never happened!
She had clearly entered the room with him, and he had even held her in his arms. It was so close to making her submit!
But the surveillance clearly told him that all of this was just his imagination!
He didn’t believe that the Mei family had the ability to alter the surveillance records in such a short time without leaving any traces.
That was definitely not an easy task!
The only possibility he could think of was that Zhang Jiao was plotting against him behind the scenes!
This man must be a pervert who lusted after him!
