After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Shen Yao is very confident in her academic abilities.

Upon hearing Shen Yao's words, the arrogant demeanor of the reporters from various media outlets gradually subsided.

In fact, many media outlets had already investigated Shen Yao's background when she became known as "the most beautiful and youngest female professor in history".

Whether it was her grades and papers while studying at Harvard University or the surgeries she participated in, Shen Yao's performance was outstanding, even excellent.

"Even if you have outstanding academic achievements, or are one of the top talents in the country, what good is it if you have bad character? We will call on the national media to denounce you!"

A reporter stepped forward, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.

His words gave other media reporters a new angle to attack Shen Yao.

"Yes, what good is academic excellence if you have bad character? You're just wearing the cloak of a professor, but in reality, you're a beast! We resolutely oppose this kind of person."

Listening to the reporters' confident arguments, Shen Yao found it laughable.

These journalists seem determined to condemn her to the pillory of morality today.

They seem unwilling to give up until they've thoroughly criticized her.

"So, you now acknowledge my academic abilities and believe that I didn't get to this position by relying on men?"

One reporter gave a cold snort, "Yes, let's leave it at that for now."

“Very well, since you acknowledge my academic abilities, I will file a lawsuit against your claims that I rose to power by relying on men. Everyone here who has defamed me because of this will receive a lawyer's letter from me.”

Sometimes, moral constraints alone are far from enough.

Only cold, hard laws can restrain the evil in human nature.

When Shen Yao said she would send a lawyer's letter to those who were spreading rumors about her, the faces of the media reporters present all changed.

They never expected that Shen Yao would remain so clear-headed in the face of such extremely unfavorable public opinion.

"Professor Shen, even if you are truly capable, how do you explain your actions regarding Old Master Gu's matter, including your interference in other people's relationships?"

The reporter seized on Shen Yao's "weaknesses" in her private life, intending to use them to bring her down and create a more sensational story.

A suddenly rising female professor in the medical field who interferes in other people's relationships and causes the death of her adoptive benefactor—this kind of story, once released, is absolutely explosive.

Human beings have a weakness: they like to see beautiful things being destroyed and ruined.

Therefore, the media reporters were waiting for the moment when Shen Yao would break down.

Once she breaks down, it basically confirms that Shen Yao is a person with poor personal morality.

Faced with repeated provocations and questions from reporters, Shen Yao gripped the microphone tightly, stood straight on the stage, and looked indifferent yet composed.

She kept telling herself that she couldn't be defeated by these people, and she couldn't be brought down by these unfounded accusations.

Seeing Shen Yao remain silent, a reporter immediately said, "Professor Shen, why aren't you saying anything? If you have a clear conscience, why are you unable to speak now?"

Shen Yao's icy gaze suddenly swept over the reporter. "My silence is a response to your baseless accusations. You have no evidence to prove that I have done anything wrong in my private life, so you can only attack me with words and try to break me down. I will not fall for your tricks."

The reporter was slightly taken aback when Shen Yao glanced at him and immediately shut his mouth.

"You really overestimate Professor Shen Yao's character. She not only interfered in my daughter's relationship, but she even pushed my daughter off the building." Gao Yunyan walked step by step towards the podium in her high heels.
