Chapter 163 Public Execution
Cao Ling was alright; at least she was carried here by someone.
Cheng Zhuoxing was not so good; he was practically carried in like a pig.
After successfully completing their mission, the bodyguards laid the person face down on the lobby floor and then dispersed to the side to give everyone enough space to observe.
Being brought to the front of all the guests in such an embarrassing manner, Cheng Zhuoxing wished he could faint immediately. He had a slight thought of pretending to be dead, but he was afraid that the scene would completely get out of control.
Thinking about the video that Yin Siyi had just filmed, Cheng Zhuoxing felt as if the sky was about to fall.
Fearing that Yin Siyi would show the video to others, he had no choice but to abandon his plan to play dead. He stiffly got up from the ground and forced a smile.
Although it was already embarrassing enough that he had to be carried in, he would only lose even more face if the video were released.
Fortunately, there's still a chance for things to turn around. As long as he stops Yin Siyi, he absolutely cannot let her release the video.
As for Cao Ling, she was completely frozen in place, her mind completely blank.
She noticed that everyone in the entire hall was staring at her and Cheng Zhuoxing, and everyone's expression was strangely peculiar, but she simply didn't have the energy to figure out what those strange expressions meant.
She also knew that Yin Siyi's forced bringing them here meant that Yin Siyi did not intend to let things go peacefully, and that she would likely expose her affair with Cheng Zhuoxing right here.
Although she threatened to ruin the engagement party, she was just saying it!
She said that because she was certain that Cheng Zhuoxing would be in her grasp, which doesn't mean she could really throw away all pretenses and expose all her secrets in front of so many prominent figures.
If she really does that, she will never be able to hold her head up in the social circles of wealthy women in Haicheng again.
Besides, she hasn't broken off her relationship with Cheng Yaozu yet; she shouldn't lose everything at once!
Although she wished she could disappear into the ground, she shared the same thought as Cheng Zhuoxing: no matter what, they absolutely could not let Yin Siyi release the video! As long as there was no concrete evidence, there was still room for maneuver.
Cheng Zhuoxing and Cao Ling both looked at Yin Siyi's phone at the same time. The phone, which had captured evidence of their affair, was now in Yin Siyi's casually hanging right hand, and it looked like it could be easily snatched away.
Cao Ling moved closer to Yin Siyi. Although she felt her limbs were stiff, she still tried to move closer to Yin Siyi and suppressed the panic on her face, instead raising the corners of her mouth to reveal an unnatural smile.
"Siyi, what are you doing?"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she was hit by an even greater shock, and her steps felt as heavy as if they weighed a ton, and she could no longer lift them.
She discovered that the same words were being played from the lobby speakers, with the exact same voice and tone as what she had just said.
Cao Ling stood there, stunned, unable to understand what was going on.
Cao Ling and Cheng Zhuoxing were brought in through a side entrance, and the large screen in the banquet hall was to their left. In addition, they were in such a panic at the time that they did not notice the changes on the screen.
Hearing the sound, they turned around sharply and looked at the front of the banquet hall, where they saw that the original content had been replaced by a video.
However, the content of this video is really hard to understand. The camera was shot from an extremely low angle, only capturing the lower half of many people's bodies, making it impossible to guess the intention of the person filming.
Before Cao Ling and Cheng Zhuoxing could react, they noticed that the camera angle was changing, as if the person filming was slowly raising the camera, gradually moving from the lower body to the torso, and finally stopping on their two astonished faces.
Cao Ling and Cheng Zhuoxing stared wide-eyed as their faces appeared on the big screen, but at the same time, the two faces on the screen made the same expression.
Their already malfunctioning brains struggled even more; the immense impact seemed to transform into an invisible hand that grabbed their heads and mercilessly crushed them, robbing them of all ability to think.
At that moment, time seemed to stretch out indefinitely. They didn't know how long they had been stunned, only that their necks seemed to have completely stiffened.
It took the two of them almost all their strength to slowly turn their heads back to their original positions, like zombies, and see Yin Siyi's phone pointing directly at them and filming them.
"What...is this?" Cheng Zhuoxing asked with difficulty, his voice hoarse.
"The video was more like a live stream."
Compared to Cheng Zhuoxing, Yin Siyi's voice was incredibly clear. To help the two people on the other end understand better, she thoughtfully added a sentence.
"It started the moment I walked into your room."
Her words were, in effect, a death sentence for Cheng Zhuoxing and Cao Ling.
They had previously hoped that there would be a chance if they could stop Yin Siyi from telling the truth, but they never expected that the matter had been exposed to all the guests from the very beginning.
Cheng Zhuoxing and Cao Ling felt as if they had been stripped naked and thrown among the crowd. Their bodies were ice-cold, and their faces were ashen. Faced with this situation, they had no idea what to do. Their minds were in chaos. They felt ashamed, helpless, and filled with hatred for Yin Siyi.
"Yin Siyi!" Cao Ling let out a shrill scream and lunged forward to snatch the phone, but Yin Siyi stepped back and dodged, causing Cao Ling to miss and fall to the ground.
Cheng Zhuoxing's gaze toward Yin Siyi was gradually filled with resentment. He never imagined that his wife, who was always so dignified and proper, could do such a cruel thing.
His love for Yin Siyi was already minimal, and now it had completely vanished. In his eyes, Yin Siyi was no different from a poisonous woman.
"You actually..."
He wanted to reprimand Yin Siyi, to say that even if she was angry, she shouldn't have put him in such a humiliating situation, but he was interrupted by a slap before he could even open his mouth.
"That bastard!" Father Yin slapped his son-in-law hard.
Actually, he would have preferred to slap his daughter instead.
If their daughter hadn't gone to such extremes, the Yin family wouldn't have lost face in front of so many distinguished guests.
But now that he's already lost face, if he doesn't openly protect his daughter and sever ties with Cheng Zhuoxing, he'll never be able to regain any face for the Yin family.
Not content with just slapping him, Mr. Yin swung his cane and struck Cheng Zhuoxing a few more times.
"You shameless bastard! I must have been blind to entrust my daughter to you!"
