Chapter 1,706 Settlement Fee

1706

The RV finally drove slowly away from the crowd.

Although there were a lot of things like eggs thrown on the body of the RV during this process, Xu Taiping was temporarily clean anyway.

Taking advantage of this rare peace of mind, Xu Taiping called Liu Hao in China.

"Write down the current situation in the country, especially those media that are adding insult to injury. Write down everything." Xu Taiping said.

"Why write this down?" Liu Hao on the other end of the phone was a little surprised.

"Let's kill them later. Let's also build a media platform. Kill a few colleagues and divide their traffic. Wouldn't it be good?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Kill them? How?" Liu Hao asked.

"You will know what to do later, just write it down first." Xu Taiping said.

"Okay, no problem. By the way, boss, how are you doing now?" Liu Hao asked.

"I'm fine, wait for my news." Xu Taiping said and hung up the phone.

"Where are we going now?" Guo Yunpeng asked when he saw Xu Taiping hung up the phone.

"Where are you going? Of course, back to the hotel." Xu Taiping said.

"Go back to the hotel?" Guo Yunpeng asked in surprise, "Which hotel? Kelmos Hotel?"

"Otherwise?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Um...are we still going to this hotel now?" Guo Yunpeng asked.

"Be open-minded and naturally go back to where you came from." Xu Taiping said with a smile, "Just go back to the Kelmos Hotel. Whoever lived there will still live there now."

"Okay!" Guo Yunpeng nodded vigorously and said, "You are innocent anyway, so we don't need to feel guilty! Master, go back to Kelmos Hotel!"

"okay!"

More than half an hour later, the RV parked in front of the Kyle Moss Hotel.

There were still a lot of people at the door of the hotel, but the main target of these people was not Xu Taiping, but Linda, the hotel waiter.

Linda is still in the hotel and has not gone home. She is interviewed by a media every once in a while, and then she constantly accuses Xu Taiping of the heartbreaking things he did to her.

These media outlets put Linda's interviews on their platforms again and again, and then let more people know about Xu Taiping's brutal behavior.

Not only the American media, but also some Chinese media offices in the United States also followed suit and came for interviews. They also spread Linda's accusations back to China, constantly teasing people's nerves.

Therefore, when Xu Taiping got off the car, the people guarding the door were stunned for a moment, because in their opinion, if Xu Taiping caused such a big incident in this hotel, he would definitely find another hotel to hide in. Get up, how could you still come here?

Xu Taiping walked towards the hotel lobby with a smile, and the reporters who reacted began to swarm towards Xu Taiping.

In the blink of an eye, reporters surrounded Xu Taiping.

No one has interviewed Xu Taiping since he came out of the police station. Now that Xu Taiping is in front of them, these reporters will naturally not let go of such an opportunity!

"Mr. Xu, what do you think of your sexual assault of the waitress? Are you guilty?" someone asked.

"She's lying. I didn't do anything. I didn't even touch her! Since I haven't done any of these things, why should I feel guilty?" Xu Taiping said seriously.

"But how do you explain the injuries on the other party's body?" someone asked.

"Maybe she fell on her own. Why do you need me to explain her injuries? I didn't hit her?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Mr. Xu, I heard that you have many girlfriends in China, and you also have a noble girlfriend from the Perfume Country. It seems that you particularly like women!" someone said.

"It's a man's nature to like women. I don't think any man would say he doesn't like women, right?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, why are you still unwilling to admit what you have done? Everyone makes mistakes. Making mistakes is not terrible. What is terrible is not repenting!" someone said.

"Yes, if I did it, I would admit it. If I didn't do it, then why should I admit it? I was not wrong, why should I repent?" Xu Taiping asked.

Xu Taiping walked all the way from the hotel lobby to the hotel elevator. The reporters asked questions along the way. Xu Taiping picked some questions and answered them. These answers were also recorded and will be sent to major media superior.

To the current mainstream of public opinion, Xu Taiping's answers are tantamount to sophistry, because people have already preconceived the idea that Xu Taiping sexually assaulted Linda. Therefore, all explanations given by Xu Taiping are sophistry, and this kind of The quibbles made Xu Taiping even more hateful!

People are like this. Once they have a preconceived idea, it will be very difficult to change their impression. One bad move may make their image worse, and Xu Taiping obviously wants to make his image worse. Worse.

Xu Taiping's room, as the scene of the crime, has been blocked and sealed.

Xu Taiping directly asked someone to open a room next door and moved in quickly.

The reporters were blocked out of the room by Guo Yunpeng and others to prevent them from following Xu Taiping into the room.

inside the room.

Xu Taiping was sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of champagne in his hand, crossing his legs and watching TV.

The local news was broadcast on TV, and the news content was the Xu Taiping sexual assault case.

The sexual assault case of China's richest man has completely detonated the media.

No matter which TV channel you click on, as long as there is news, it is broadcasting the Xu Taiping sexual assault case. Various experts are doing various analyses, and some people are using Xu Taiping's facial expressions to analyze the case. It was proved that Xu Taiping was lying. Some people were analyzing how many years Xu Taiping would have to spend in prison according to American law, while others were calculating how much compensation Linda would need to pay if Xu Taiping's sexual assault case was to be settled.

Various professionals studied and discussed Xu Taiping's sexual assault case from various aspects.

It’s a feast, a feast for the media, a feast for legal experts, a feast for feminists…

"What should we do next?" Guo Yunpeng asked.

"You continue to promote the movie." Xu Taiping said.

"Continue to promote the movie?" Guo Yunpeng asked in surprise, "Now everyone knows that you invested in our movie. Wherever you go, everyone's focus will be on your sexual assault case. How could anyone pay attention to our movie?" , there are even some indignant people who will come to the scene to cause trouble!"

"That's good, isn't it? Wherever you go, everyone will pay attention to you. You can't get such attention even with money, right?" Xu Taiping said.

"Then what? This is completely discrediting our movie!" Guo Yunpeng frowned.

"Just do what I say and try your best not to hit back or scold you. Remember, the eternal goal is to promote our movie. You don't have to say anything for me!" Xu Taiping said.

Hearing Xu Taiping's words, Guo Yunpeng was speechless for a while. However, based on his trust in Xu Taiping, Guo Yunpeng nodded and agreed, and then let his people continue to prepare for this afternoon's publicity.

After Xu Taiping watched TV in the room for a while, Reinhardt came to Xu Taiping's room alone.

"Mr. Xu, you are really... ugh!" Reinhard said as he looked at Xu Taiping helplessly and hesitated to speak.

"I have never sexually assaulted your waiter." Xu Taiping said calmly.

"I am willing to believe you. After all, your identity is there. In my opinion, you have really been hacked this time!" Reinhard said seriously.

"Oh?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, do you believe that I was tricked by your waiter?"

"Of course I believe it. I know that you must now suspect that I manipulated my waiter to hack you. But I can swear to God that I never asked my waiter to hack you. Really, I don't know about this at all. !" Reinhard said.

"That's really a surprise!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"This kind of thing is actually not uncommon in our country in the United States." Reinhardt said seriously. "When many celebrities stay in a hotel, if they encounter a waitress, they will never give the waitress a chance to be alone with them. Usually there are a few people around, because the law in the United States is like this. Celebrities in the United States, or those rich, will never be alone in an environment with a woman they don’t know for more than half an hour. This is very dangerous. , because once the other party accuses you of sexual assault, it is basically a certainty of a lawsuit. In order to make money, many people will deliberately create opportunities for themselves to be alone with rich people and celebrities, and then sue the other party for sexual assault and blackmail them. Money, and this time, that’s it for you!”

"How do you know this is the case?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Because Linda has found me and said that she agrees to settle as long as you pay a settlement fee of 50 million US dollars." Reinhardt said.

"Fifty million U.S. dollars? This is really a lion's mouth!" Xu Taiping shook his head with a smile and said, "Fifty million U.S. dollars is equivalent to 300 million U.S. dollars in China. Tell her to shut her mouth."

"If you don't reconcile, you may face a maximum sentence of twenty-six years in prison, Mr. Xu!" Reinhardt said.

"Twenty-six years, let's just say twenty-six years. Anyway, I won't give you money for things I haven't done." Xu Taiping shook his head.

"Moreover, Mr. Xu, because of this matter, you may be restricted from leaving the United States. Think about it. If you are not a problem, what will happen to the companies under your control? I heard that people in China have begun to I'm boycotting your company. If you don't return to China as soon as possible, the losses you suffer every day may exceed 50 million US dollars. If I were you, I would definitely pay the money!" Reinhardt said .

"After paying this money, and then you tell the truth, I will really be accused of sexual assault, right?" Xu Taiping asked with a smile.

Hearing Xu Taiping's words, Reinhardt's expression changed slightly.
