At this moment, Wen Tang was helped up by the crowd, but the boy's grip was really too strong, and both of her cheeks were swollen like something out of a movie.
"Who is this? Why are they coming to our newspaper office to beat people up?"
"Team Leader Wen, are you alright? Oh dear, look at your face." This was said in a gloating tone.
As for everyone else marveling at how amazing Ni Jingxi was, actually managing to capture such a young boy...
Ni Jingxi didn't actually want to hurt the boy. At this moment, she asked in a low voice, "If we talk this out properly, I'll let you go."
After Ni Jingxi released the boy, she asked, "Why did you hit her?"
"She's the one who encouraged my dad to make fake photos, and now my dad has been arrested by the police. How come she's gotten away with it all?"
When the boy spoke, everyone realized that he was the child of the parent who had died in the Jiarui Middle School incident.
Everyone had initially sympathized with Wen Tang, but upon hearing the boy's words, they looked at her with complicated expressions.
Wen Tang pointed at him angrily and said, "Nonsense, you're talking nonsense. I'm going to call the police and have you arrested."
"Call the police!" Wen Tang shouted sternly at the person next to her.
Before everyone could react, the boy's violent nature had completely vanished, and he had returned to his harmless appearance, looking at Wen Tang with some nervousness.
Ni Jingxi sighed and whispered in his ear, "If you don't run now, you'll really be waiting for her to call the police and arrest you."
The boy was stunned. He hadn't expected that Ni Jingxi would stop him from hitting Wen Tang earlier, but now she was letting him run away.
"run."
Suddenly, Ni Jingxi let out a short shout, and the boy actually turned around, picked up his schoolbag, and ran away.
He disappeared from everyone's sight in no time.
No one expected that Ni Jingxi would let the boy escape.
Wen Tang was so angry that she pointed at her hand and shouted, "You..."
"Why did you let him get away?"
Ni Jingxi said calmly, "Why don't you go and catch it yourself?"
"He's just a student from Jiarui Middle School. There are surveillance cameras everywhere here. I don't believe we can't catch a brat. What gives him the right to slander me like this?" Wen Tang was slapped twice across the face by the boy in front of so many people.
I'm so angry I could explode.
Ni Jingxi had originally decided not to participate in this farce, but when she heard these words, she turned to look at Wen Tang and suddenly sneered.
"I've discovered that you really don't show any remorse whatsoever."
Wen Tang glared at her.
Ni Jingxi suddenly called out, "Hua Zheng."
Hua Zheng, who was standing in the crowd, immediately responded.
Ni Jingxi looked at the phone she was holding and said, "Record a video."
Although Hua Zheng didn't understand why, she still turned on the camera's video recording function and pointed it at Ni Jingxi. The camera recorded Ni Jingxi slowly walking in front of Wen Tang.
Ni Jingxi looked at Wen Tang with a remarkably calm expression: "Do you dare deny the accusations that young man made against you? The word 'journalist' is being tarnished by opportunistic people like you. Even if I can't work at the newspaper tomorrow, I still have to say this."
"Someone like you doesn't deserve to be a journalist."
Wen Tang's face turned pale, and she stood there motionless.
Finally, Ni Jingxi looked at the swollen handprint on her face with some regret and said coldly, "You should be glad I don't hit women."
"Alright, I'm done cursing. If you need it, go to Hua Zheng and ask for the video. You can take it to the police station and have the police arrest me to see if I've slandered you."
Ni Jingxi sneered and turned to leave.

Lord Ni is truly a tough guy; there are some things he just can't tolerate.
Chapter 46
Hua Zheng carefully returned to her seat, holding her phone in her palm as if it were a priceless treasure. Beside her, Ni Jingxi was typing, her hands resting on the keyboard, rapidly and accurately striking each key.
At this moment, the other colleagues who were slowly leaving the lively scene couldn't help but look over at Ni Jingxi.
However, Ni Jingxi's aura was truly too powerful.
Moreover, she possesses a charm that is undeniable.
Even though she treated Wen Tang like that just now, most people still think she is honest and upright, especially the women in the newspaper, who are all experts at spotting manipulative women.
Wen Tang has a personality like that; she's always flirting with men, but she has two faces when it comes to women.
Besides, so many people saw her deliberately messing with Ni Jingxi back then.
Previously, some people felt that Ni Jingxi was not giving Wen Tang face and even confronted her in public during the meeting.
Then a few days ago, the news of Ni Jingxi's marriage to Huo Shenyan was exposed, and everyone was a little confused. To be honest, the heiress of Hengya Group, who worked her way up from the bottom as a rookie reporter in our newspaper, not only tolerated an unreasonable senior like you, but was already extremely polite by not publicly humiliating you.
As for why Ni Jingxi didn't want to continue being polite with Wen Tang today, it was simply because Wen Tang was too unscrupulous in his methods.
The parents were indeed at fault in this school food safety incident.
But is Wen Tang entirely innocent?
If she was indeed unaware of the information, then it was her dereliction of duty, because the journalist herself must at least verify the authenticity and validity of any news material before it can be published and made available to the public.
If Wen Tang was also involved in this matter, then she was not negligent in her duties.
Rather, they are malicious.
Hua Zheng asked in a low voice, "Lord Ni, should we still save that video?"
Actually, she really wanted to keep it; it was so satisfying to see.
"She didn't want it?" Ni Jingxi turned her head and glanced at it casually, a half-smile on her face: "Keep it, lest some people don't want it now but regret it in a few days."
Hua Zheng's eyes widened.
She was truly impressed. Although she knew Ni Jingxi was no ordinary person, it was still rare to find someone like her, and she was just too likable.
Hua Zheng really felt that if Ni Jingxi hadn't already gotten married, she would have really wanted to compete with Huo Shenyan.
Who wouldn't like such a beautiful and strong-willed young lady?
Now she no longer knows whether she should envy Ni Jingxi or Huo Shenyan. After thinking it over, only four words echo in her mind.
A divine couple.
Yes, what an amazing couple they are!
Wen Tang was already upset because she had been reprimanded by the editor-in-chief. Now, she had been hit by a child in front of everyone at the newspaper office.
She was so angry that she didn't even go back to the office; another intern had to help her carry her bag to the parking lot downstairs.
She reportedly went to the hospital.
However, Ni Jingxi felt that she was better off staying at home, as she really didn't have the face to show in public.
When it was time to leave work in the evening, Ni Jingxi left a little late because she hadn't finished her work. When she finally got out, she waited at the elevator door.
"Sister, sister."
A sound came from behind, and even someone as bold as Ni Jingxi was startled.
Ni Jingxi turned around and saw the young boy who had hit Wen Tang that afternoon hiding behind the door of the emergency staircase. He was now peeking out with a smile on his face.
"You haven't left yet?" Ni Jingxi was a little surprised.
After all, when he went down to fight Wen Tang, it was already past three o'clock, and now it was almost seven o'clock, which meant it would take four hours.
He's been here all along?
The young boy probably felt safe with her around, and immediately came out from behind the door: "I haven't thanked you yet."
Ni Jingxi was slightly taken aback again. She looked at the young boy in front of her. He wasn't very tall, but he had fair skin and a fairly well-behaved face.
When I watched him hit Wen Tang in the afternoon, he slapped her twice, once on each side.
Back then, the young boy was like a little cheetah, exuding a fierce aura, but now all his ferocity has vanished, and he has instead revealed a docile appearance.
Ni Jingxi looked the young boy over curiously, then asked in a good mood, "You waited here for me just to say thank you?"
A look of surprise flashed across the boy's face: "Does that mean you're going to charge me, sister?"
What's going on?
Ni Jingxi was amused by the young boy in front of her, and lowered her head slightly: "No need."
As soon as she finished speaking, the boy's stomach seemed to sense it and started to rumble.
Inside the KFC restaurant downstairs from the newspaper office.
A tray on the table held hamburgers and drinks, but Ni Jingxi hadn't touched her hamburger yet. After finishing the last bite of his own, the young boy glanced at the hamburger in front of Ni Jingxi.
Ni Jingxi reached out and pushed her spicy chicken burger over: "Eat it."
"No need, I'm already full, you can eat, sister."
Ni Jingxi, after being called "sister" by him repeatedly, finally said, "You should still be in school today, right? If you don't go to school, your parents and teachers will worry."
"What's there to worry about? My dad's been arrested and he's in deep trouble. Who's going to worry about me?" The young boy spoke with an air of nonchalance.
Ni Jingxi frowned: "Where do you live? I'll take you home."
"Sister, do you think my dad will go to jail?" Suddenly, a vulnerable look appeared on the boy's face.
The boy didn't actually know Ni Jingxi, but when the reporter shouted that he would call the police to arrest him that afternoon, it was impossible for such a young boy not to panic. Besides, he knew that hitting someone was really wrong.
So when Ni Jingxi told him to run, the young boy felt grateful and a little touched.
You trust someone you've only met once, and you can ask questions you wouldn't dare ask others.
Ni Jingxi thought for a moment and said seriously, "Making fake pictures to frame the school, and forwarding them 500 times would get you arrested. How many 500 times do you think they've been forwarded since they were exposed?"
Most people would be comforting the boy right now, saying, "It's okay, your dad will be alright."
But Ni Jingxi refused, after all, this matter had indeed caused such a bad impact.
