Chapter 24

Protecting the Child

“Liao Ning, I know this request is too unfair to you, but I have no choice. You’re the only one I can trust.”

In the holographic projection, a man with a breathing mask on said intermittently, “I got scammed by Cui Yin and have nothing left. But Liao Nai, your little nephew, is only five years old. He’s still so young. He shouldn’t stay on Blue Planet and be abused by his mother for the rest of his life. He needs someone to take care of him. I’m begging you. I’ll give you everything I have left now. Please take him away!”

With that, the man began to cough violently and his already thin skin began to flutter, as if it would be pierced by the gas in his body in the next second.

The people watching live-stream immediately fell silent.

Cui Yin’s expression froze. After a while, she pretended to be calm as she said, “Do you think you can hide the truth by finding a random dying man to film this video? This doesn’t change the fact that the dried fish you produce can poison people to death.”

Liao Ning said calmly, “Whether I produced the dried fish or not, won’t we know the truth after a field inspection.”

Field inspection? Cui Yin had a bad feeling.

After Liao Jun transferred his assets, he didn’t allow her to set foot in the Liao Corporation any more. In addition, the Liao Corporation had stopped operating recently because of its debt, so how could there be any employees to produce dried fish?

As for the photos she had sent previously, they were all edited. With the current technology, it wasn’t difficult to make them look real.

However, no matter how advanced the editing technology was, it was fake. As long as she went, the photo would be exposed as fake.

“He’s not my husband!” Cui Yin insisted while pointing at the man in the video.

Then, she looked around in panic. When she saw Liao Nai behind Liao Ning, her smile became ferocious.

As long as Liao Nai denied that the man on the screen was Liao Jun, no one would be able to discover the truth behind her photo!

Liao Nai stared at the man in the holographic projection for a long time. After being shouted at by Cui Yin, he instinctively shrank back and looked at Liao Ning, who was blocking in front of him.

For the first time, he felt that his aunt seemed so tall and mighty, just like his father!

“Sister-in-law, the child is innocent, so let’s not involve the child in the dispute between us adults, okay?” Liao Ning’s expression suddenly became serious.

She looked down on people who used their own children as a shield when they couldn’t resolve problems. Besides, Liao Nai was her bottom line. She wouldn’t let him suffer Cui Yin’s persecution again!

When she saw Liao Ning’s protective attitude, Cui Yin’s lips began to quiver. It was only then that she remembered that Liao Ning’s current gaze was the same as when she went to her house to ask for Liao Nai.

Cui Yin took a step back belatedly.

No, she couldn’t admit defeat like this!

“Then you’re admitting you found a random man to record the holographic projection?” Cui Yin said.

“All accusations depend on evidence. Sister-in-law, how can you prove that my video is fake? In that case, I also have reason to suspect that your photo is fake.”

Cui Yin was speechless.

[The host has been misled.]

[We’re not experts in verification, so why don’t we go straight to the trial hall?]

[I agree.]

The comments section of the live-stream became lively again.

[I’ve compared the man in the video with General Liao’s photo. Their facial features are a 100% match.]

[So she abused her child in the past?]

[She must have abused her child. I saw the child hiding just now.]

[The cub has such a pitiful background. Hurry up and hug him.]

[Just based on the fact she said that they shouldn’t involve the child, I believe that Liao Ning wouldn’t do something like producing low-quality dried fish.]

[That’s right. Moreover, Liao Ning also said that she doesn’t sell dried fish. She even recommended we buy the official brand of the Star Federation Research Institute.]

[Let’s go to the location the photo was taken to see if it’s real or fake.]

[The photos are so dirty, so they probably won’t be cleaned even with the most advanced washing equipment.]

[I agree. Moreover, didn’t anyone notice that there was a tomb behind them? If you argue in the cemetery, will you be able to sleep peacefully at night?]

As the stalemate continued, those in the comment section began to speak up for Liao Ning again.

Moreover, at the mention of a field inspection, Cui Yin’s expression turned ugly.

In a fit of anger, she turned off the livestream and glared at Liao Ning. “Just you wait! I’ll definitely ruin your reputation!”

After saying that, Cui Yin covered her face as she left sneakily.

Seeing that Cui Yin had run away, the woman she had brought to cause trouble couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted to leave.

However, when she turned around, she realized that almost everyone in town had come to watch the commotion. This was much more embarrassing than losing face in a live broadcast.
