She is the most beautiful rose

Chapter 259 Only Shen Manzhi

Not knowing what went wrong backstage, Shen Luo had to pretend to be shocked and went on stage, covering his mouth in panic and asked, "What's going on? Was that my sister just now?"

She looked around again, "Feng Ma, Feng Ma, take someone to the video control room on the third floor to see what's going on."

Naturally, those present at the graduation banquet were all peers, and the elders of the Shen family avoided it.

The people below were awakened by her call.

"Is it really Shen Manzhi? I only heard that she was like a spirited girl, fighting in gangs outside, but I didn't expect she was so beautiful."

The person next to her said disdainfully, "You can't judge a person by his appearance. When the two sisters went out to play, she lost Shen Luo and she was almost taken away by human traffickers!"

"Really? Mr. Shen really likes his little daughter. It's normal for the eldest daughter to be jealous, but she shouldn't have the intention to harm others."

Someone behind him sneered, "Bullshit."

The two people who were discussing together turned around and looked at the punk-style boy in front of them. They squinted and sneered, "Is it wrong? Is this young master attracted by beauty?"

They were all young people invited from the circle, and they were all people of status, so naturally there was hostility in their words.

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, looking a bit fierce and aggressive, "Do you know that before that incident, Mr. Shen cared most about Shen Manzhi, not Shen Luo?"

The two looked at each other. They had only heard about it, so how could they know whether it was true or not?
If this were the case, there would be no claim that Shen Manzhi deliberately abandoned his sister because he was jealous of Shen Luo taking away his father's love.

"But it is also true that Shen Manzhi did lose her sister."

Xiao Yi frowned, "How old was she at that time? She was only eight years old, and she was at an age where she needed to be taken care of, but she was blamed for this."

He put his hands in his pockets and sneered, "You are adults now, right? Can't you tell right from wrong?"

One of them blushed and wanted to argue, "You are speaking for her?"

Xiao Yi laughed angrily, "Why, you're still standing in line?"

The sound of the conversation gradually attracted several people, and they all looked over to listen to the show.

Xiao Yi didn't mind saying a little more, "I'm just speaking the truth. Shen Luo was not taken away by human traffickers. Instead, Shen Manzhi was taken away from school by a stranger when she was twelve years old and disappeared for two days. The reason for this was that Shen Luo said that she was not feeling well that day, so she asked the Shen family driver who was originally coming to pick up the two sisters to take her home first."

Even without saying anything else, the listeners can guess what happened.

Xiao Yi imitated the man's previous tone and said, "Then can I say that Shen Luo deliberately left Shen Manzhi alone?"

Others agreed, "That does sound reasonable."

"It's also possible that both sisters have bad intentions."

Someone questioned, "Why do you know so much? Who are you, Shen Manzhi?"

It was also Xiao Yi's fault because of his family relationship. He was disciplined by his father to be too low-key over the years. At that time, many people in the circle did not dare to have such heinous contact with the Xiao family, and many rich kids present did not know him.

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and said lazily, "Classmates."

When he said this, Zhou Mi was silent behind him and heard it clearly.

So he told Qin Yanfeng about this little episode.

"To be honest, I didn't know that something like that had happened to her."

She was taken away by human traffickers and disappeared for two days before being found. Who knows what she went through? How did she escape?

Zhou Mi still finds it unbelievable when he thinks about it now. He heard no movement around him and turned to look.

The man bent one leg, his back slightly bent, and the light from the screen seemed dimmer in his eyes.

"Ayan?"

Qin Yanfeng raised his eyes and moved slightly. He just suddenly remembered something that Chi Juan said to him when they were chatting at the beach on the day of the Shen family's old lady's birthday party not long ago.

At the age of 20, Shen Manzhi went into the mountains alone and successfully rescued Chi Juan, who was kidnapped by the enemy and trapped in the old forest. He worked non-stop for three days and three nights.

It’s hard to believe what others find, but maybe she experienced it when she was only twelve years old?

Qin Yanfeng felt a dull pain in his chest, but he lowered his eyes to hide his emotions and whispered, "What happened next?"

Zhou Mi shrugged slightly, "That being said, this is Shen Luo's graduation banquet after all, so naturally someone will come out to mediate."

The quarrel was resolved by some concerned people, and the problem of other images appearing on the screen was also sorted out.

Shen Luo briefly explained that the teacher who was invited to adjust the video in the video control room made a mistake and synchronized the footage recorded by the drone over the villa lawn, which led to the scene inside the second floor of the villa that everyone saw just now.

As to whether it was true or not, no one pursued the matter. Shen Luo had just gone to negotiate and came back with a red face.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl apologized to everyone with an innocent smile, "Just now there was indeed a small accident. My sister is also at home, but she probably didn't want to attend my graduation party, so she didn't come down. I hope what happened just now didn't cause her any trouble. Then, let's cut the cake."

But no one investigated whether the truth was as she said.

Although Xiao Yi's words revealed certain facts, everyone is in the same circle. Who would be willing to offend Shen Luo, who is being pampered by Mr. Shen, and be considerate of Shen Manzhi, who already has a bad reputation?
Moreover, if this person suddenly appeared out of nowhere and spoke well of Shen Manzhi, he must be right? Although the gossip was not over yet, everyone at the banquet still smiled when they congratulated Shen Luo.

The candle in the center of the cake was lit, and Shen Luo clasped his hands in front of him and closed his eyes to make a wish.

The originally festive dynamic screen behind him suddenly changed the picture, accompanied by the sounds of punching and kicking.

Everyone's attention was drawn over again.

Zhou Mi frowned. So this was the prepared video?
The video begins with a dim bar full of colorful lights, a noisy food stall on the street, a smoky and chaotic casino... In various occasions of debauchery, Shen Manzhi's figure flashes by, chatting and laughing with various opposite sexes.

Then there are scenes of schools, cluttered alleys and abandoned factory buildings, where Shen Manzhi is surrounded and bullied.

Most of the images are in black and white, and you can tell that many of them were captured from surveillance cameras. Some are handheld videos taken by the perpetrators, and they are so shaky that they make people feel even more nauseated when watching them.

This kind of editing gives people the impression that Shen Manzhi was bullied because he was self-degrading.

"The students of Huaicheng No. 1 Middle School are either top students or powerful nobles. If someone like Shen Manzhi goes in, she will not only harm the good students, but also be hated by others for being too self-righteous. She deserves it."

"But she is the daughter of the Shen family after all. How dare those people bully her so blatantly?"

"What's the use? Her mother died early, and she is still young and doesn't learn well. It's strange that Uncle Shen likes her. Anyway, she has no mother to teach her, so it's only right for her to be taught a lesson. Look, Uncle Shen is interfering in these matters."

The person next to her probably couldn't bear to listen any more, so he glanced at the girl who was talking and said, "Please be more polite with your words."

The girl looked at the person who refuted her and sneered, "Oh, oh, oh, I'm so afraid that she will come downstairs and slap me in the face."

As soon as she finished speaking, the screen on the stage flashed again. The images that had just been showing for less than half a minute suddenly stopped, as if they had been suddenly turned off.

Shen Luo frowned again. How come it’s gone?

The video she played recorded in detail the entire process of Shen Manzhi being beaten!

But at this time, the eyes of others also fell on Shen Luo. Her expression changed instantly, showing some anger and some shock, "Who is behind this?! Why would my sister go to those places? How dare these people go so far..."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was suggested that someone wanted to use Shen Luo's entrance banquet to embarrass Shen Manzhi. However, the video after these edited and spliced ​​segments was too short, which made people confused.

The voices of doubt in the conversation below were getting louder and louder. Most people believed Shen Luo's words and thought that someone was taking advantage of tonight's banquet to expose some scandal about Shen Manzhi. They were all guessing who it was.

The screen was black for nearly a minute, and even Shen Luo realized something was wrong. She was about to go upstairs to check it out herself when the screen behind her lit up again.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, but suddenly froze, her pupils widened as the image on the screen appeared, "How...how could this happen?"

It's very similar to the footage from the previous half minute, but with more movement.

In the dimly lit bar, Shen Manzhi sat on the edge of the stage holding a guitar, quietly singing along with the lead singer of the band; in the noisy and chaotic street food stall, she caught the deadbeat who ate a free meal for the boss, and was leaning against the barbecue stall with an indifferent face watching the deadbeat throwing a tantrum...

The only thing that was a little out of the ordinary was probably that in the smoky underground casino, a group of people gathered around a long table where people were betting on big or small and guessing the outcome. The person shaking the dice above was the banker and bet all his chips on small.

The dealer, who was young but had a calm temperament, showed off his fair wrists when he shook the cup. The dice collided with each other with a loud sound, and finally placed steadily on the table.

The tungsten filament lamp above the long table was old and yellowish. The dealer was wearing a white baseball cap, and when she lowered her head, one could only see her upturned lips.

It is the confidence that is determined to win.

Open the cup, six in one.

The person next to her was so happy that he half leaned over the table to take all the chips for her. She just raised her chin slightly, revealing her bewitching eyes under the brim of her hat, and smiled freely.

Only Shen Man knows.

Corresponding to the half-minute video just released, the scene changes and Shen Manzhi is no longer the one being bullied, but the protagonist who decisively fights back against many enemies alone. His boxing and kicking skills are very beautiful, and every frame is of the standard that can be put into a movie.

This video was two minutes long. During this time, no matter how Shen Luo tried to stop it or how he called the people in the sound control room, there was no response. He could only let the video play automatically until the end.

The last frame was frozen on the scene where Shen Manzhi was standing in the corridor with a book on his head as punishment.

Perhaps he had just finished a fight, as there was a finger-long bloodstain on his face. His school uniform was loosely on his body, his eyes were indifferent and fearless, and the words "arrogant and domineering" were written all over his body.

What a blatant provocation!

This was not the video Shen Luo wanted at all. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. It must be Shen Manzhi's doing!

Seeing the unsatisfied looks on the people below, Shen Luo clenched his fists. Who would have thought that tonight not only did Shen Manzhi not embarrass herself, but she also stole the limelight at her own banquet!

Fifteen-year-old Shen Luo was also a spoiled child, and had not yet learned to be more patient. She lifted her skirt and walked up the spiral staircase, wanting to go upstairs to ask Shen Manzhi for an explanation.

In an instant, the lights in the entire hall were turned on, as bright as day, and the people on the spiral staircase slowly walked down.

Everyone gasped.

With waist-length blonde hair and a swaying long skirt, and a bunch of red roses stuck on the side of the violin bag on her back, she looks like an elf.

Who else could it be if not Shen Manzhi?
