NOVEL NEXT Chapter 239 Smiling Tiger
"Right, Master Wang, once you laid hands on him, even if we wanted to speak up for you, we no longer had any ground to stand on. How could you just hit someone like that?"
"Master Wang, you should apologize first and compensate. If this incident goes viral, it would be really bad for you."
For a moment.
Those who supported Wang Ye.
At this time, even though they were speaking up for Wang Ye, they had already believed what the security guard had said was correct.
Wang Ye glanced at the security guard sitting on the ground.
He had only intended to pull the security guard a bit.
He didn't even touch the guard.
But the security guard immediately started claiming that he had been hit.
Even if Wang Ye was naive,
he knew that he was being targeted.
Just then,
the restaurant owner, Wang Luan, came straight over. The moment he saw Wang Ye, he approached with a sycophantic smile and handed over a cigarette, rushing up to him and bowing slightly, "Master Wang, Master Wang, Master Wang."
"We were wrong about this matter. I only intended to stop you to discuss the compensation for my car, but it seems I have upset you, Master Wang."
"If Master Wang is unhappy, then forget it. You don't need to compensate. To show my apologies, all of Master Wang's expenses in our restaurant today will be on the house."
With a sycophantic smile on his face, Wang Luan's words were very polite. He then glanced at the security guard again, went over to help him up, asked about his pain, and comforted him a few times.
Immediately afterward, he turned to Wang Ye and said, "Master Wang, the injuries of this security guard might not be too serious. I will add some compensation for emotional distress to his salary, but since Master Wang is skilled in traditional Chinese medicine, why not help treat this guard? Then we can consider the matter settled."
The people around, seeing Wang Luan's good attitude, and that he was not even asking Wang Ye for compensation, began speaking up one after another:
"Boss Wang, why don't you just treat this security guard, since you injured him after all."
"Consider it doing a kind deed, Boss Wang."
"Boss Wang, help treat this security guard, and let this incident pass."
The people present began speaking to Wang Ye one after another.
Wang Ye looked at Wang Luan, who had a sycophantic, smiling face, and sneered coldly.
This Wang Luan, from the moment he arrived, portrayed himself as a good guy.
Taking everything upon himself.
In reality, it further cemented the evidence that he had injured the security guard.
Moreover, because of Wang Luan's attitude, everyone present compared themselves and felt that what they had done was too excessive.
Though they didn't say it out loud.
But the people there definitely started harboring feelings of disdain toward him.
And ordinary people, at this point, would think of calming the situation and helping to treat the guard.
That way,
they would fall right into Wang Luan's trap.
Smiling Tiger, that's the term for such people.
Thinking this, Wang Ye directly spoke, "Treat what? No treatment!"
Upon hearing this.
The people present began to look at Wang Ye with even more dissatisfaction.
In their eyes, Wang Luan had already made such a big compromise, Wang Ye should have accepted, but he didn't show any signs of agreement.
He didn't even want to help treat someone.
And Wang Luan, after hearing the words from Wang Ye, simply smiled at him and said, "No worries, no worries. Since Master Wang doesn't want to help with the treatment, let it be. I will take him for the treatment myself, and it will be just the same."
Wang Luan, even then, maintained a smile, appearing fawning and obsequious, which made the people present suddenly lose their favorable impression of Wang Ye.
Instead.
They developed a hatred towards Wang Ye.
At that moment.
In the crowd, some short-tempered individuals directly set their eyes on Wang Ye and began cursing at him:
"Pah! I thought you were some kind of good person, but it turns out all the hype about Master Wang on the internet is just fabricated, ready to resort to physical violence, damaging others' cars without offering compensation. You are not any kind of Master Wang, you are clearly a Wang Poison-Hand!"
"How unlucky! We should never believe those online comments. Earlier, I actually thought the legacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Dragon Country was saved, but it turns out you are this kind of person, someone like you, even if you know some Traditional Chinese Medicine, probably can't pass it down but just use it to monopolize and profit for yourself!"
"Maybe, he doesn't even know anything about Traditional Chinese Medicine himself; there must be someone else behind the scenes, and he is just being pushed out as the facade."
"It truly breaks my heart for Elder Zhong and Elder Jiang. The two predecessors thought there was a legacy to be continued in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but unexpectedly, they encountered such a person!"
On the second floor in a private room.
Yu Shaohua was holding a young woman, whose face was already flushing under Yu Shaohua's restless hands.
And Yu Shaohua, seeing how many people below were cursing Wang Ye, felt even more delighted, squeezing harder which made the young woman beside him cry out, nearly falling to the ground directly.
"Haha, this is so exhilarating, so satisfying."
Below, Wang Ye's plight made Yu Shaohua feel extremely pleased.
It even felt better to him than having Wen Xiang in his arms.
"Director Yu."
The young woman gently tugged at Yu Shaohua's clothes, biting her lip, her eyes hazy.
Yu Shaohua's touch had already made the young woman want to learn.
But Yu Shaohua shook his head, looking down, "Hold on, the show isn't over yet. Let's wait until the show's finished before we talk."
...
Below.
Wang Ye listened to the accusing voices of the crowd around him.
He glanced at the restaurant hall's camera.
And the outside camera.
He was about to speak.
But then, he heard Wang Luan say, "Master Wang, don't worry, if you want to clear your name... oh no, if you don't want your reputation to suffer, I will speak up for you. I won't let everyone spread the word about today's incident."
"Our restaurant, whether it's the hall or the outside cameras, has all been broken recently."
"So, you don't need to worry about any information getting leaked."
This statement from Wang Luan.
On the surface, it was comforting Wang Ye.
But in reality, it was giving Wang Ye a message.
The cameras were broken.
So even if Wang Ye wanted to check the cameras to prove his innocence, it would be useless.
And just then.
Elder Zhong and Elder Jiang emerged from their private room.
Seeing Wang Ye in the hall surrounded by so many people, they immediately became puzzled.
