The Farming Livestreamer: I Don't Want to Inherit Billions!-Chapter 301: A Huge Misunderstanding

"This fat woman is really shameless!"

"She doesn’t even spare her own relatives!"

"Indeed, it’s always acquaintances betraying acquaintances. But this kind of betrayal is terrifying—it’s life-threatening!"

...

Most of the people in the venue were quite clear-headed. Though they were easily led by the nose, at this moment, they finally understood what was going on!

Especially the fat woman’s reflexive response just now!

"Auntie! How could you do this?"

"Auntie, how much did they pay you!"

"You! Are you so money-driven that you don’t even care about our lives?"

Several people from the East Mountain Community also realized what was going on. Someone led the questioning, and others joined in angrily. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The fat woman looked uncomfortable and showed a disdainful expression.

"What’s all the noise! No one’s going to die!"

As she spoke, she waved them off, telling them to shut up, "At most, you’ll suffer for a few days. Besides, I’m not stupid; I wouldn’t do anything that would cause a death."

With those words from the fat woman, everyone present understood.

Zhai Li, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately changed her expression.

What nonsense is she spouting!

She’s infuriating!

What a bunch of idiots!

However, fortunately, these matters had nothing to do with her. Even if there was an investigation, they wouldn’t trace it back to her.

"Dean Qian, Officer Chen, since she admitted it herself, what do you think of this situation?"

Song Shiyu’s icy voice spoke at the right moment.

"This matter must be dealt with seriously!"

Dean Qian said sternly, "Officer Chen, I want to call the police. She’s framing my Autumn Expo, poisoning the vegetables, and endangering community members!"

"I... I didn’t!"

The fat woman panicked when she heard Dean Qian’s words.

"I... I was told to do this by someone else. It has nothing to do with me! If you want to arrest someone, go arrest them!"

Everyone: ...

When the fat woman boldly shouted that it had nothing to do with her, everyone was stunned.

What kind of moral compass is this?

"Sorry, ma’am, whatever you need to say, we’ll discuss it at the police station. Report what you know honestly, and we’ll handle it accordingly."

Officer Chen didn’t want to argue with her here; she was embarrassing the Innovation Park!

This area has only developed in recent years and is still attracting investments.

The fat woman’s actions today have embarrassed them across the country!

"Officer Chen, please wait a moment. We caught another person backstage, and we’re not sure if they’re an accomplice. When we caught him, he was poisoning the vegetables, caught red-handed!"

Qin Rui approached with Liu Yuan, tearing off the transparent tape from his mouth.

"This..."

Chen Jiayang looked at the tied-up Liu Yuan and was a bit speechless.

They’ve turned him into a dumpling!

"I... I didn’t..."

Liu Yuan finally had the chance to speak, shaking his head and denying it while gasping for air.

"I recorded everything. You still want to deny it! Officer Chen, please handle this matter seriously and give our Autumn Expo an explanation!"

Although Qin Rui usually wasn’t very reliable and was quite unorthodox, he handled this situation adeptly.

In just a few words, he highlighted the seriousness of the situation and directly involved our Autumn Expo.

To those unaware, it might seem as if he were the main organizer of the event!

"I... I..."

He stammered, not knowing what to say, his eyes occasionally drifting toward Zhai Li.

What kind of situation is this!

"Oh, by the way, Officer Chen, this man is an employee of this competition’s participant Zhai Li. I have reason to suspect that Zhai Li orchestrated this to disqualify Chi Youyou from the competition."

Jiang An stepped forward, sharing his suspicions. There wasn’t any direct evidence at the moment, but since he mentioned it, Zhai Li would become a suspect.

"Officer Chen, here’s his phone. When we caught him, he was trying to use it, so I confiscated it. As I was concerned that handling it might affect your investigation, I don’t know what’s inside."

Qin Rui handed the phone over.

Seeing this, Zhai Li felt a chill on her scalp, as a wave of unease washed over her.

Instinctively, she wanted to check the phone. However, if she made a move for the phone now, it would only confirm her involvement to everyone present.

"Could it really have been Zhai Li?"

"Those people from the East Mountain Community had no feud with Chi Youyou."

"Exactly, analyzing the situation, if Chi Youyou’s participation were canceled, who stands to benefit the most today?"

"Chi Youyou is in first place. If her results were canceled, Zhai Li would be the undisputed first-place winner!"

...

Many in the crowd began to speculate.

Yin Zhengzheng, entrusted by the Zhai Family to take care of Zhai Li, was now at a loss for what to do.

If...

No, Zhai Li was still associated with the International Agricultural Research Institute.

She suddenly recalled the old man’s previous reaction, knowing he was always protective. Coupled with the International Agricultural Research Institute’s reputation, she figured this might not be a problem.

"Um... sorry, Officer Chen, this matter shouldn’t be related to Zhai Li. She’s also associated with the International Agricultural Research Institute, and she’d never do something like this."

Taking a deep breath, she said as gently as possible, "I think there’s some misunderstanding here."

[Right, didn’t Zhengzheng mention she applied to the International Agricultural Research Institute before?]

[She’s the only one at the venue who applied, and the Institute’s top figures are all here—presumably for her!]

...

Yin Zhengzheng’s words carried a lot of weight in the live broadcast, quickly swaying the conversation.

Many present quickly echoed her sentiments.

"Yes, Miss Kite is right."

Even President Yang from the Sanmu Group didn’t expect things to escalate to this point, implicating Zhai Li directly in the process.

He had just signed a project contract with the Zhai Family!

"Director Liao, look at what’s happening; please don’t be angry. I believe there’s some misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding?"

The old man maintained a tight smile throughout, showing no emotion, making it clear he was really upset.

President Yang assumed he was upset because Zhai Li was being taken away as a suspect, and he tried to console him, "Rest assured, our expert group believes in Zhai Li, and someone from the International Agricultural Research Institute would never do such a thing!"

The old man sneered.

"Naturally, someone from the International Agricultural Research Institute wouldn’t engage in such lowly dirty work! But whether she would, how would I know?"

"Uh, uh, rest assured, we... huh?"

President Yang was a beat behind, suddenly realizing, "Director Liao, did Zhai Li not join the International Agricultural Research Institute?"

"When did she ever join us? How could I not know?"

The old man furrowed his brows?

Since when did he have such poor judgment?
