After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 344 Extortion
Chapter 344: Chapter 344 Extortion
Lu Sheng finished speaking, and there was a few seconds of silence.
It seemed she was taking something out to show to Jiang Yusheng.
Since the live broadcast only had audio and no video, it left all the viewers itching with curiosity, wanting to know what Lu Sheng was showing to Jiang Yusheng.
But soon, they heard Jiang Yusheng ask the question for them.
"What... what is this?"
It was the voice of Jiang Yusheng.
He sounded relatively calm, but if you listened carefully, you could tell that his voice was already beginning to tremble.
In the room, Lu Sheng was holding up her mobile phone to Jiang Yusheng, her expression composed.
Displayed on the phone’s screen was a photo of a used condom, sealed in a plastic bag.
"Clearly, this is a photo of a used condom. As for who used this condom, Professor Jiang, you must be very clear in your heart."
"After sexually harassing Jiang Mengmeng for over three months since her enrollment, you lured her to the staff dormitory under the pretense of academic matters, and you were ready with a condom beforehand, coercing her with intention and precaution."
"But you probably didn’t expect that not only did Jiang Mengmeng record the entire process of your coercion, but she also picked up the condom you threw away into the trash can after use and preserved it in a sealed bag."
"This condom has been sealed and preserved for quite a while, having lost all activity, but being in medicine yourself, Professor Jiang, you should be very aware that DNA can still be tested from dead sperm. All it takes is to compare your DNA with that of the owner of the semen in this condom... "
"And the recording, it is also in my hands now. Would you like to listen, Professor Jiang?"
While saying this, Lu Sheng played an audio clip.
The moment the audio was played, the sinister and threatening voice of Jiang Yusheng could be heard emanating from the phone.
"You think you can run? I’m telling you, Jiang Mengmeng, if you don’t submit to me today, forget about passing my classes. In three years, you can forget about graduating from Beijing University smoothly."
The audio had been edited by Lu Sheng.
Only the parts where Jiang Yusheng made threats were released; the parts where Jiang Mengmeng was crying in despair were cut out.
Her live broadcast today was meant to expose Jiang Yusheng’s true colors in front of the entire nation, to let everyone understand the truth about how Jiang Mengmeng was coerced and nearly had her life destroyed. But it was not intended to relive the pain the girl had once suffered through a live broadcast.
"Bullshit!!"
As soon as a sentence was played, Jiang Yusheng cried out loudly, stopping the playback. Sweat was already breaking out on his forehead, and his voice trembled even more intensely.
Yet, he still vehemently countered Lu Sheng, "What the hell are you blabbering about here? I have never done anything like sexually harassing or raping Jiang Mengmeng!"
"The voice in the recording is not mine at all, and as for that condom you mentioned, I have no clue!"
Although the voice in the recording was unmistakably his, Jiang Yusheng adamantly denied it.
Thus, upon hearing Jiang Yusheng say so, Lu Sheng still appeared indifferent and then shrugged her shoulders.
"Is that so."
"Since this condom has nothing to do with you, Professor Jiang, it shouldn’t matter to you if I take it to the police station, right?"
With that, Lu Sheng stood up.
She seemed not to want to talk with Jiang Yusheng any longer.
Seeing her about to leave, Jiang Yusheng immediately called out loudly, "Wait a minute!!"
Tied to the chair, Jiang Yusheng’s face turned red and then pale, his calculating eyes flickering with countless emotions, his teeth nearly shattering.
Semen residue in the condom could be tested for DNA; even if this condom was fake, brought by Lu Sheng to bluff him, the recording was undeniably in his own voice.
With the evidence in Lu Sheng’s hands, he had no means to maneuver around her, so he had no choice but to stop Lu Sheng.
"Lu Sheng... you’re saying that you have both this condom and the recording in your hands? What exactly do you want to do?"
Jiang Yusheng was scared.
Being frightened was already on the verge of breaking him down.
Lu Sheng turned around, first gave Jiang Yusheng a steady look, then sat back down in the chair.
A seventeen-year-old girl was confronting an almost fifty-year-old man, yet from their expressions and postures, it was clear who held the initiative and who was nearly panicking.
"Didn’t you always say that I am just a poor person from the countryside, Professor Jiang?" Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows ever so slightly.
"Then let’s cut to the chase. After encountering Jiang Mengmeng, I bought these two pieces of evidence from her hand. That is to say, I am the only one with the evidence now."
"Defaming Professor Peng with rumors is libel, punishable by up to three years in prison. How about Professor Jiang, you give me three hundred thousand to shut me up."
"But coercing Jiang Mengmeng constitutes rape, starting from three years up to life imprisonment or even death. Moreover, once the matter is exposed, Professor Jiang, your reputation built over half a lifetime will be ruined, and life wouldn’t be worth living even after getting out of prison."
Lu Sheng looked up, "Given the severe consequences, if Professor Jiang wants to shut me up, then give me... two million."
"Two million?! Have you lost your mind?!"
Jiang Yusheng was shocked, his eyes widening in disbelief as he exclaimed.
But Lu Sheng remained calm and composed, without so much as a flicker in her gaze.
The viewers of the live broadcast exploded into a frenzy after listening to Lu Sheng’s terms.
[Holy shit, what’s going on? Is Lu Sheng blackmailing Jiang Yusheng? And she’s asking for two million???]
[Are you dumb? If she was really blackmailing, that’s committing a crime. Why would Lu Sheng let nearly three million people hear it on live broadcast?]
[Right, plus the evidence about Jiang Yusheng defaming Professor Peng was already released during the live broadcast, she’s obviously tricking Jiang Yusheng.]
[Tricking Jiang Yusheng about what? Oh my god, is she trying to get him to admit everything he did to Jiang Mengmeng himself?]
[Definitely! Because if she just asked Jiang Yusheng straight away, there’s no way he’d admit it. But by saying this, if Jiang Yusheng really agrees to spend two million to buy the condom and recording from Lu Sheng’s hands, doesn’t it prove that everything Lu Sheng is saying is true?]
With this thought, the hearts of all the viewers in the live stream were suddenly on edge, even more nervous than Lu Sheng herself.
What would Jiang Yusheng’s reaction be?
Would he really spend the money to buy the evidence?
