In the end, the reporter left. The mercenary who had stood up for Shen Lu looked quite embarrassed.
"Boss Shen, did I cause trouble for you?"
"No." Shen Lu knew that even if the mercenary had done nothing, it wouldn't have changed the reporter's biased opinion.
After closing up for the day, Shen Lu ate dinner and tried to rest, but her mind kept replaying the incident.
She even looked up the official account for Imperial Capital News.
Sure enough, the official account had posted a new video. It was footage from the reporter's visit at noon.
The video was, of course, edited. You could even call it a malicious edit.
In the video, Shen Lu came off as rude and arrogant, while the reporter was portrayed as a beacon of justice. The comments were a unanimous flood of support for the reporter, all criticizing Shen Lu.
Shen Lu took one look and swiped it away.
'This is just ridiculous.'
'Did I offend someone at Imperial Capital News?'
