OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 401 THE CONFESSION IS SHOCKING
The noise tends to be chaotic, an atmosphere seen in a ballroom filled with media colleagues. The lawyers had already spoken up on behalf of Weini, while Lau and the others were still silent on monitoring the situation. The boisterous point occurred when the press was given the opportunity to ask, they were fighting over the ration of speech, even many of those who came from abroad also shouted.
The team of lawyers who did not master a foreign language, and did not expect the arrival of guests from outside, the team that was embraced by Lau was rather too late because of language constraints. Lau glanced at his spokesperson, he understood the difficulty they felt and took over the stage.
"This incident has shocked the world, how could a respectable girl of the Li clan be able to blow up something strange and inexplicable with reason. Is it true that the rumor that Miss Li was a damned unlucky bearer who almost killed her father?" A reporter from Hong Kong spoke in Mandarin.
Stevan, Bams, and a team of lawyers and even local journalists frowned. They feel this prescon session has gone off track, the atmosphere actually looks like filming a Chinese drama. Where the press like his crew and Lau and foreign journalists as the cast.
Lau was silent for a moment thinking what he would say, the effects of yesterday's chaos turned out to be more widespread and not as simple as he thought. Not only journalists from Hong Kong, a number of foreign faces from other countries also attended. Lau had thought enough, he would not buy any more time.
"Good day everyone, respond to peer questions all of which I did not expect to come from many countries, then I will convey in several languages. First, I on behalf of Miss Weini apologized for the noise last night. The allegations, rumors, and negative perceptions that were alleged on Ms. Weini are untrue. What you need to know is that Miss Weini, who we know as a famous artist in the capital, is also one of the respectable daughters of the last descendants of the Li clan from Hong Kong. And yesterday's events weren't what you thought, they were purely family matters. For those of you who are in Indonesia, you can find outside news references that have been circulating since last night. Weini is our lady's stage name, while her real name is Li Yue Hwa. She's the youngest daughter of Li San Jing's descendants, the ruler of Hong Kong."
Lau succeeded in electrifying local journalists, the camera focus was entirely on him. But Lau immediately silenced the intention of the press to ask further, because he immediately switched to answering press questions from Hong Kong in Mandarin.
"Gentlemen, last night was beyond reason, but your accusation was too cruel. Miss Yue Hwa did happen to have the strength to protect her, although it was shocking and frightened many people, but until now the information we gathered had found no harm to the public. If anyone feels aggrieved, please report it to us and you will be expelled. The Li family is willing to compensate if the right has been harmed, but if not proven and only lead to slander or seek profit to demonize the honorable Li clan, then we will take firm action according to the rules of the Li clan." Firm Lau. He was sure that the people from his home country knew very well the power of the Li clan, evident after he revealed the answer, they began to shut up.
After delivering in English, repeating the same explanation, Lau was again asked by local journalists. "Sir, you said Weini is the daughter of a respectable descendant of another country, but why did her identity come from here? He was born in Jakarta, and was also raised by a single father who is now missing. Do you have any solid evidence that Weini was really an honorable princess?"
Bams turned his head and whispered to Stevan, they were both like displays so silent since then. "This is beyond my ability, I don't know what assistant master Xiao Jun discussed. How complicated is the problem?"
Stevan just smiled smirkingly, "That's why I'm needed here, director sir." His reply was full of confidence then stood grabbing the mic nearby. Stevan's sudden attitude to stand up followed in the footsteps of Lau who had not returned to sit it made him highlighted by the camera.
"Friends of the press, I have the evidence you asked for. Regarding your questions about the status of Weini, you can actually look for references in the outside media as Mr. Lau conveyed. I will not discuss how Weini's data and identity can be our citizens, but I certainly know Weini since we were involved in a joint production for almost two years. We were close enough as best friends, and I dropped something I didn't know what it was. But I haven't returned it yet, it's gone. Maybe the other friends won't understand this either, but a fellow journalist from Hong Kong might know."
Long-term Stevan explained, he just wanted to show one important object that surprised everyone including Lau. Stevan let the camera continue to capture a portrait of him holding a golden plaque, a plaque that piqued journalists from Hong Kong for being able to recognize the object as an important indicator of the identity of members of the Li clan.
Amongst all the uproar, only Fang Fang was consistently sitting still while folding his hands. His eyes deftly glanced around, making sure there was nothing suspicious from the surroundings. But as soon as Stevan pointed out the important object, he hurried to his feet and bowed fully showing his respect. Similarly to the people who know the thing, they automatically take a stance that makes people around staring in wonder. They bowed respectfully to an object called the plaque?

Flashback a few hours ago....
"Trust Grace's safety to me, and I hope you can help me calm the situation down." Xiao Jun looked seriously negotiating with Stevan.
Xiao Jun smiled faintly, he understood very well that Stevan was indeed trustworthy. That was why he chose her as the key holder, not even Lau knew about it. His hand loosened his pants pocket then showed the golden sparkling object to Stevan.
"This is Weini's plaque, ah. I mean Miss Li Yue Hwa's plaque. Only a core family member of the Li clan heir would have it as an identity. I want you to show the media that they believe that Weini is Miss Li, this is the only way to clear Weini's good name of the negative charge." Xiao Jun gave the important item to Stevan.
Haris who had given the object to him last night, the object was stored both in another dimension and was very important to Weini. Stevan was wide open so amazed and could not believe what he saw and held.
"This is real gold? Weight too, there might be a kilogram more. What's so special about this thing?" Stevan asked confusedly as he weighed in with his hands.
Xiao Jun smiled wryly, "If you wear it in Hong Kong, you can get anything for free just by showing it. No one dares to refute your orders."
Stevan's gawking wide, "Holy thing? In modern times gini still applies the ancient system of such work? Waw.... I didn't think Weini was that good." Stevan muttered in amazement at Weini. He did know the girl was not an ordinary girl but never expected this extraordinary outfit.
Xiao Jun simply nodded slowly, "I trust you. After that leave it to Lau to take care of him. This item should not be lost, as it is Weini's essential item. Youunderstand?"
Stevan nodded steadily, he felt very proud of carrying out such an important task. For Weini's sake, for Grace's sake, whatever she would do despite having to face the spotlight of the camera and risk her life not being calm after this appalling confession.
🌟🌟🌟
Thanks Stevan for your courage, you are indeed our mainstay he he 👏👏👏
Yup, guys in this episode the author will introduce a visual of one of the important characters in this story. The character who appears in the first episode and makes us tense when reading it (still remember the tension? talk about the long story).
The author reminds me a little yes, he is a brave figure that we care about very much. He who desperately protects the little boy to the point of betting his life, he who makes the frightened little boy feel at ease. And the most makin nyesek is, he gives his black coat (robe) that is sedukoran for a small child to protect in the moment of escape.
You guys know who he is, right? Yep... Right, he's Haris' father our love 😍. He ran away with little Weini, changed face and identity but still wearing his favorite robe, even until buried was still re-worn his favorite robe. This is the face of the young version of Haris yes, when he fled with Weini. And the face of the mask that is said to not be old until it makes his son pangling.
Okay, just go ahead, Haris is welcome to show himself... Jreng Jreng....
