People tend to side with the underdog. Shen Lan, who was clearly at a disadvantage, looked like she was on the verge of tears, easily stirring feelings of sympathy.
However, most of the people here were apathetic. They wouldn't stick their necks out for a stranger, at most offering a few condemning glares.
They were just powerless glares, and Shen Lu paid them no mind. She let out a scornful little laugh. "Malicious slander? Isn't that a term better suited for you?"
Shen Lan pressed her lips together and shoved at Xue Can. "Let go of me!"
Xue Can confirmed that Shen Lan was just an ordinary person with no superpower before releasing her.
"Is Miss Shen's memory a bit poor? Have you already forgotten what I taught you last time? The burden of proof is on the one who makes the claim." Shen Lu's gaze was sharp. "You claim my crawfish are diseased and toxic. Do you have any actual proof? If not, can I assume you're libeling me?"
