Chapter 1349 Keep Them for Yourself
Lü Yan had yet to answer Tang Jiayun when there was a cry of pain coming from the crowd. “Senior Xu, please be lighter. My arm is breaking. You are hurting me! I can sue you!”
Xu Shengnan sneered. “Sue me? Don’t worry. Someone will sue you for violating the right of publicity. You should think about how you should deal with this lawsuit.” With that, Xu Shengnan took the camera that the student hung on his neck. “You had better give us an explanation regarding this.”
The student reddened and his voice was louder than Xu Shengnan’s. “I am from the journalism faculty. There is a students’ paper in the school. As a news reporter, I have the right to report the truth and let the audience learn about the truth. Every citizen has the right to know the truth. You cannot violate our legal rights!”
“And so you can violate my legal rights?” Qiao Nan walked toward the male student with a cold expression on her face. “Do you know that I can sue you based on your actions and the chance of winning the lawsuit is higher than ninety percent?”
Qiao Nan was being modest when she said that there was a ninety percent chance that she could win the lawsuit.
Even if the male student was the person who took the photo of the student who confessed his love to her and pa.s.sed it to Peng Yu, Peng Yu merely spent some money to get the student to help him. If anything happened to the student, Peng Yu or the Peng family would not help him.
If things reached that state and the male student revealed that it was Peng Yu who instructed him to take the photos, given Peng Yu’s position and the Peng family’s social status, instead of having a lighter sentence, the student would receive a harsher punishment as he had offended the Peng family.
Qiao Nan was perplexed. Given Peng Yu’s status and position, since he had resorted to doing this and spent the money, why did he not hire a professional private investigator? Why did he hire an amateur who was easily caught by Xu Shengnan?
“Did you take my photos other than today? After taking my photos, you did not use them for the school papers but gave it to someone else instead. Am I right?”
The student kept looking around. He did not dare to look Qiao Nan in the eye. “I don’t know what you are talking about. I don’t know about the previous time or this time. I took the photos for the school papers. I did not give them to someone else. Don’t malign me. If you have the capability, go ahead and sue me.” He did not believe that a few photos would land him in court.
Anyway, the person who hired him gave him a lot of money, and he did not use the money to do anything overboard. He merely gave the photos to the person who hired him. If he lost the lawsuit, he would not be given a harsh sentence.
Nothing comes for free. By then, he would demand that the person who hired him to fork out the money that he was punished to pay by the court.
The male student did not know who Qiao Nan was. Therefore, he was the least worried at her warning and he did not fear for his future.
The person who hired him said that if he did a good job and found out more about Qiao Nan’s dirty secrets, he would give him a large sum of money after everything was over, and he would give him a high-paying job after he graduated.
He did not know when the a.s.signment would be completed, but he was very glad of the arrangement.
The person who hired him promised to give him a job and money, while Qiao Nan merely gave him a warning. He could not possibly take Qiao Nan’s words seriously.
Qiao Nan rubbed her forehead. All of them were students in the same school and they could be considered as fellow cla.s.smates. Whether it was Lü Yan or the male student in front of her, both were still young and it was inevitable that they would be insensible and make mistakes.
If it was other situations, Qiao Nan would forgive them as long as it was within her means. But she could not do so today.
This not only concerned her. In fact, she was targeted as she was Zhai Sheng’s wife. Therefore, all the more she could not let them off easily. Although nothing happened, they could make it as if it was real. There were so many people who were targeting her. She had no idea what Peng Yu was capable of next time.
Although Zhai Sheng did not fall for the trick this time, if this happened often, Zhai Sheng might be affected and there was no guarantee that he would not fall for the trap. Zhai Sheng did not believe his words this time, but he was affected and sustained injuries in the drill. If Peng Yu was successful next time, what happened might be worse than a few injuries.
“Since you don’t feel that you are in the wrong, then tell me your name, your faculty, and which year you are in.” Since it concerned the Zhai family and she could not resolve it by herself, Qiao Nan would not be so foolish to try to handle it by herself. Instead of resorting to trickery, it was better to be fair and square.
This would serve as a warning to the other students as well so that they knew that they must not commit such foolish and fatal mistakes without finding out what was going on.
Did they really think that they did not need to be responsible for whatever they had said?
Weren’t they ashamed that they were college students but behaved foolishly? The teachers must be exasperated that the college students knew nothing about the law.
“W-what do you want?” Qiao Nan seemed to be very serious. The male student who was certain that nothing would happen to him could not help but have a guilty conscience. “Why do I have to tell you? Do you want to take revenge on me? At the very least, you are well-known in school. I merely took a few photos of you. Is there a need to be so alarmed and uptight about it? You are so narrow-minded to take issue with me. If you dislike it, I won’t do that next time, okay?”
Qiao Nan smirked. “Do you think I will be so foolish to believe your words? Even if you refuse to tell me, I have my way to find out. The outcome will be the same. There is no way that this could be easily settled. When we get to court, I hope that you will still be able to wear a smile like today.”
The stupid was fearless.
The male student panicked. “You are merely threatening me. Senior Xu, all of us are from the same school. Is it good that the situation is so ugly? As the saying goes, it is better not to burn the bridges. Senior Xu, aren’t you going to dissuade Qiao Nan? You should know that we might run into each other in the future. It is not good to be so heartless. I am not one to be easily bullied.”
If he and Qiao Nan crossed paths in the future, he would not be lenient with her like today.
Xu Shengnan rolled her eyes at the male student’s threat. “How dare you say this at this juncture? You must be a ‘warrior’. I really have to hand it to you. You should keep those words for yourself.”
