Hearing Xu Ke speak, the female reporter countered sharply, "Mister Xu, I asked for an explanation regarding this matter, which you seem to have avoided answering."
"If you are unaware of the content on the big-character posters, I can read them aloud for you."
"The first one says, 'Xu Ke, devoid of all conscience, abandons his fiancée and snatches her house after being kept by a rich patroness!'"
"Another accuses the Wang Family Corporation of colluding with Xu Ke to oppress the common people, calling them inhumane and condemned by heaven!"
"Each poster has your photograph on a black and white background, marked with a blood-red X."
The female reporter's voice echoed clearly through the conference hall. The people around her wore expressions of schadenfreude, enjoying the spectacle.
Everyone knew the female reporter was deliberately repeating these accusations to provoke and insult Xu Ke at today's press conference.
