Screams erupted one after another, successfully attracting the onlookers.
Those unaware would think a murder had occurred.
"Ah, I got some on me, it's so disgusting!"
"Gag... it stinks, sniffle... how will I ever face people now..."
"My new dress is ruined! Su He, I'll fight you to the death!"
A pungent stench assaulted their senses, turning the elegantly dressed girls into drenched rats. No, worse. The sticky oil stains, vegetable leaves, and eggshells were utterly nauseating.
Of course, the most pathetic was the instigator who had climbed the ladder. Not only was she drenched in foul liquid, but she was also flung heavily onto the floor, breaking her nose which had cost over ten thousand yuan. She looked utterly ridiculous.
Upon seeing this scene, those who rushed over retreated, daring not to approach.
The smell was simply too strong!
They were all people of status and certainly didn't want to touch anything dirty.
"Heavens, this smell is overwhelming!"
"What are they doing?"
"Oh dear, this smell is awful, I can't stand it!"
The onlookers, covering their noses and mouths, backed away towards the entrance. Not a single person was willing to step forward to help.
"Su He caused this!" The girl in the green dress, having suffered so much, was unwilling to let it go and instead shifted the blame, accusing Su He as the culprit.
The others, tacitly agreeing, turned their anger onto Su He.
"Yes, it was her! We all saw it!"
"Sob, I'm calling the police! This is intentional harm!"
"Su He, you pay for my dress!"
The girls unanimously pointed the finger at Su He, as if it would make themselves feel better.
Hearing Su He's name, the onlookers couldn't help but murmur.
"Her again?"
"Did she come up with this bizarre method just to get attention?"
"Using such tactics to harm people is too despicable."
"Doing such a thing in public, truly ill-bred!"
Su He was speechless.
How could they spew such lies? Which eyes had seen her splash these people with dirty water? Were they taking advantage of the lack of surveillance in the restroom to slander her as they pleased?
Su He couldn't help but sneer.
Stepping on the few dry tiles, she clutched her skirt and walked towards the exit.
"Su He, stop! You made us like this, are you just going to walk away?"
"Sob, my nose is broken, you can't just let her go!"
"Su He, you barbaric woman, I won't let you off!"
"I'm calling the police!"
"Enough!" Even a clay Buddha would lose its temper after being pushed so far. Being belittled and dragged down time and again, did they really think she was easy to bully?
"You all claim it was me, where's your evidence? Do you really think you can convict someone just by flapping your tongues?" Su He stared at them coldly.
"The few of us are the evidence!" The girl in the black camisole was quick-witted, responding while cleaning herself.
"Yes, we saw it with our own eyes!"
"Take a break!"
Su He looked at them as if they were a group of idiots. "Oh, then tell me, how did I do it? Where did this bucket of sewage come from? And what's with this broken door?"
Su He calmly posed several questions.
"You, you're just quibbling!"
"Right! Don't fall for her tricks, everyone!"
"Can't answer means quibbling?" Su He sneered. "There's no need to find fault when one wants to accuse."
"Besides you, who else would do such a thing?" The green-dressed girl got up from the floor and glared fiercely at Su He. "Everyone knows you grew up in the slums, a life of crime."
"Tsk tsk..." Su He clapped her hands, applauding her. "You can't produce evidence, so you resort to slander? I can sue you for defamation!"
"Su He, do you think saying that will make everyone believe you? Don't dream!"
"If you hadn't kicked the door so hard just now, you wouldn't have hit this bucket of dirty water, and it wouldn't have splashed on us!"
Each side stuck to their story, neither willing to back down.
Just then, Lu Yanbei, following the clues, arrived.
Seeing him, the onlookers parted to make way.
However, being in the women's restroom, they were inconvenient to enter.
"Please go in and see if Su He is inside," Lu Yanbei said to the female attendant at the door.
The attendant didn't dare to delay and quickly went in to find her. "Which one is Miss Su?"
Su He turned her head. "I am."
"Mr. Lu is waiting outside," the attendant said with evident admiration.
Su He blinked, surprised that he had come looking for her.
As she was about to turn and leave, she saw the girl with the broken nose rush out ahead of her.
"Young Master Yan, you must bring justice for us! Su He is too barbaric, not only did she hit us, but she also splashed us with dirty water... sob, how will I ever face people again!" The green-dressed girl, who had been confronting Su He so forcefully moments ago, now appeared fragile, bursting into tears.
The other "victims" followed suit, lodging their complaints.
"We merely argued with her a few words, and she resorted to violence, it's simply too much!"
"Our current state is all thanks to her!"
Seeing the group of women covered in filth, Lu Yanbei instinctively took a few steps back.
As for their accusations, he didn't believe a single word.
He didn't even bother to look at them, his gaze falling directly on Su He. Seeing her emerge unharmed, he let out a slight sigh of relief.
"Come here," he said to Su He.
Su He pursed her lips and walked towards him, holding up her skirt.
"Young Master Yan!" Seeing that Lu Yanbei not only didn't defend them but actually treated Su He differently, the girls were enraged.
"She clearly did something wrong, is she just going to leave without a word, not even an apology?"
"Young Master Yan, I know she was your sister-in-law once, but you can't be so protective!"
"If this is not resolved, we're calling the police!"
Lu Yanbei suddenly let out a scoff. "For the sake of our elders, I didn't want to stoop to your level. Since you insist on humiliating yourselves, I shall oblige!"
As he spoke, the surrounding temperature seemed to freeze, sending a shiver down one's spine.
Lu Yanbei beckoned, and someone immediately brought him a tablet.
Lu Yanbei slowly browsed through it, quickly pulling up the hotel's surveillance footage. The meticulous planning, how they bribed the chef to deliver the sewage bucket, how they deliberately bumped into Su He to take her phone, all were clearly visible.
Although the footage from the restroom was missing, it was obvious to anyone with eyes what had happened.
These girls had clearly targeted Su He, intending to embarrass her. As a result, their plan backfired, not only failing to harm her but also harming themselves, only to shift all the blame onto Su He, thinking they had gotten away with it. Little did they know, to Lu Yanbei, it was an utterly laughable spectacle.
The plot twists and turns kept the onlookers clapping in delight.
What does it mean to lift a rock only to drop it on one's own feet? They had witnessed it today!
