HuMing's actions gave everyone the impression that the man was making false accusations out of desperation.
The accused person stood there without a trace of panic on his face.
Upon hearing their charges, Han LiTian stepped forward. With a piercing gaze, he fixed his eyes on the person and said,
"You don't have to watch what you eat, but watch what you say. My son has been with my daughter the whole time. How could he have framed you?"
"How would I know?! I surely saw him come in with Zhou LiLi!"
The man roared in frustration. He intended to frame HuMing but ended up making himself a laughingstock.
Nevertheless, he was determined to bring HuMing down with him. But seeing HuMing's calm demeanor, the man felt an inexplicable fear.
Everyone looked at HuMing, who yawned lazily and then straightened up.
"Sir, I don't even know who you are, and you say I'm framing you---at least provide some evidence. Also, I wasn't here just now; I was on the balcony."
"Impossible! How could you have been on the balcony? You were just here!"
The man was furious, and HuMing gave him a distressed look. He sighed helplessly, then turned to face Lee Tian.
HuMing's gaze sent shivers down Lee Tian's spine. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable.
"I'll be honest, I wasn't in the mood for today's banquet. Zhou LiLi told me that Uncle Lee was about to announce the annulment of my engagement today. Most people here knew about it, but I was the only one in the dark."
HuMing shrugged and openly disclosed this matter.
It came as no shock to many, as Lee Tian had hinted at this news quite some time ago.
However, Han LiTian's expression turned grim at this moment. He turned to look at Lee Tian, who seemed visibly nervous.
Under the weight of Han LiTian's relentless pressure, Lee Tian found himself in constant struggle. After all, the Lee family greatly benefited from the union between their families.
However, Madam Han also gave her consent to this matter. Upon this realization, Lee Tian settled his scared heart.
"You say I'm framing you unless... I knew in advance that you were going to frame me."
As soon as HuMing finished speaking, the man's expression changed drastically.
"You... you're talking nonsense!"
"That's not it, and neither is that. So why did I frame you?"
HuMing appeared innocent, casually leaning against the wall with an unchanged expression, genuinely impacted by the annulment.
At this moment, LiYue dared not look at HuMing. She expected HuMing to be angry, but she didn't expect the annulment to have such a significant impact on him.
For a brief moment, she felt regret. However, Han ShuYi gently placed her hand on her shoulder, offering a reassuring gesture, and she regained her composure once more.
The atmosphere settled into an awkward silence. Neither side could make definitive accusations, and no one knew the full extent of the situation.
"Buzz~~~"
The hotel's speaker suddenly sounded, and everyone froze. Then, several voices unexpectedly rang out.
"He drank it. I watched him drink it with my own eyes."
"Then later..."
"Don't worry. I got paid, so I'll get the job done. Besides, no one knows HuMing's status in the Han family. If the Han family still treats him like their son, I can take the opportunity to move in with them."
Everyone immediately recognized the familiar voices. They were the same as those who claimed just minutes earlier that HuMing was framing them.
And now, this recording was like a "death sentence", declaring their guilt.
The crowd was taken aback; astonishment, skepticism, and curiosity were evident on their faces. However, it was the instigators who wore the most distressing expressions.
At this moment, Han LiTian's expression turned incredibly dark. HuMing's unjust accusation was already troubling, but now it appeared that Zhou LiLi had set her sights on exploiting the Han family for financial gain!
As the recording played, the culprits' faces paled with realization, their own words coming back to haunt them.
Zhou LiLi sensed a crumbling world around her. She thought she was the one scheming against HuMing, but now she found herself falling victim to someone else's schemes.
"You bitch! You recorded it!"
Someone moved forward in desperation and grabbed Zhou LiLi's neck.
Zhou LiLi's eyes widened as she struggled, her slightly bruised body exposed once more to the public. Some people shielded their children's eyes to prevent them from seeing more.
Security quickly intervened and pulled the man away. If a death occurred in the hotel, they would be in serious trouble!
Zhou Lili covered her neck and continued coughing. As she struggled, she looked at HuMing and noticed the pen he was twirling in his hand.
She suddenly realized---it must be that pen!
That pen must be a recording device!
"Pen! There's something wrong with his pen!" She screamed, pointing at the pen in HuMing's hand.
"He gave me a pen at the banquet! That pen has something wrong with it inside!"
Hearing this, HuMing couldn't help but laugh and point to the pen Zhou LiLi had discarded on the floor, mocking,
"Isn't that the pen I gave you?".
At his words, everyone's attention shifted to the pen on the floor.
One of the culprits' fathers picked up the pen, and he had security inspect it. If the pen was problematic, they could use it to accuse HuMing of framing their children, and could then exploit the situation to target the Han family.
Even at this point, they showed their ugly, scheming faces.
But soon, security shook their heads.
"This is just an ordinary pen."
"It's the one in his hand! He must have swapped it!"
Zhou LiLi was not willing to give up so easily.
Hearing this, the man approached HuMing and extended his hand.
"Let me check it!"
He spoke with authority as if ordering HuMing to hand over the pen.
This time, however, HuMing stood tall, his posture exuding an overwhelming presence that drew everyone's gaze.
"So, let me get this straight. Are you saying that no matter what, I must be proven guilty of framing them?"
"If you're innocent, what are you afraid of?"
"What am I afraid of? This is unacceptable. I have been falsely accused by you guys all night. If I were so simple to let you go, I wouldn't be able to swallow the anger in my heart. After all, today is meant to be the day of the public announcement of Han ShuYi and LiYue's engagement, a significant event. Madam Han has been looking forward to this day for a long time. Are you showing that you have no regard for the Han family whatsoever?"
Hearing what HuMing said, several people's expressions changed dramatically.
Madam Han and LiYue felt extremely awkward, wishing they could find a hole to hide in.
The man was sweating profusely, not expecting HuMing to involve the Han family in this. Is this guy totally shameless? He's not even from the Han family!
He silently glanced at Han LiTian.
Han LiTian's cold gaze bore into him, sharp as a piercing weapon.
"HuMing is my son. Do you think I'd let my son get treated like a fool?"
Han LiTian's icy voice served as both a warning and an announcement: HuMing is a member of the Han family!
Han YunXi's eyes glowed with admiration. HuMing's image in her eyes was incredibly grand at this moment!
'Brother's aura today is off the charts!'
