Beauty and The Bodyguard - Chapter 11232:
Chapter 11232: Chapter 11230: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!
Lin Yi didn’t care at first.
In the end, they were just insignificant characters. He did not even need to make a move. Zhao Feng could easily suppress them and could not cause any substantial waves at all.
In fact, there was no water at all for the next few days.
But now, it came in handy.
Lin Yi smiled meaningfully.” Cooperate with them and spread the news. It’s best if you describe me as evil. It’ll make people feel the same way. It’ll spread faster.”
“Ah?”
Zhao Feng was stunned. Wouldn’t your reputation be ruined as well?”
Since she was young, she had seen many people pour dirty water on others. However, this was the first time she had seen someone take the initiative to pour dirty water on herself.
“Black and red are still red,” Lin Yi explained slowly.”As long as the news spreads, it’ll be more popular.”
Zhao Feng pondered for a while before she understood. The bigger the matter gets, the more people will know about these rules. With the popularity, the basic rules will also be there.”
“Not bad.”
Lin Yi nodded.
At this stage, what he needed the most was not reputation, but popularity.
In terms of popularity, normal promotion naturally could not beat scandals. After all, the latter was something that the general public liked to see.
Zhao Feng’s eyes lit up. She was eager to try.” Leave it to me. I’ll arrange it myself.”
Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh as he watched her leave.
Soon, the public opinion was stirred up.
This was the first time Lin Yi’s name had entered the eyes of the people at the bottom of society, but this time, he appeared as a villain.
Reality proved that negative news had a strong vitality.
Once the Eight Trigrams Soul was ignited, it immediately spread from one to ten to a hundred, showing an unstoppable trend.
“You’re amazing! It’s working!” Zhao Feng excitedly ran over to Lin Yi.
However, Lin Yi’s smile wasn’t that big.
“This popularity is still not right.”
“What’s wrong?”
Zhao Feng’s face was filled with confusion.” There are a lot of people talking about it now. I can hear it when I go out to eat. They’re scolding you very badly.”
“Someone’s trying to suppress the popularity behind the scenes,” Lin Yi shook his head.
If it were to be carried out normally, it would not be limited to private discussions among the people. Instead, the entire public opinion would have exploded.
After all, this was a real scandal, especially a scandal related to the residence of Prince Zhao.
Whether it was Lin Yi’s identity as the head of the security investigation department being exposed or his relationship with Zhao Feng being spread, there were both top conspiracy theories and erotic gossip points. It was perfect for the public’s taste. It would be strange if this topic didn’t explode.
Although there was a slight improvement in the popularity, it was still far from a true explosion.
” Who could it be?” Zhao Feng tilted her head and thought for a moment. She still couldn’t understand.
“Yeah, who could it be?”
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.
To be able to suppress the heat in such a large area, the other party’s energy must be extraordinary.
He didn’t want to suppress the popularity at this time, and it wasn’t for Lin Yi’s own good. After all, someone at this level would be able to see through his intentions.
Lin Yi was almost certain that the man was targeting him.
The key question was, who was this person?
Grand Tutor Manor.
As the Grand Tutor of one of the three dukes, Xiao Mang’s influence in the court was not as great as that of the seven princes, but he was more popular than them.
Every time the court session ended, his residence would be filled with distinguished guests and officials.
Xiao Mang was publicly acknowledged as a man of perfect morals by the inner court. The moral stele in his family was well-known to the world. Anyone who wanted to improve would have to come and rub off the protection of the moral stele.
It wasn’t until late at night that the officials took their leave.
Xiao Mang was reclining on the Arhat chair, enjoying the attentive service of four beautiful maidservants.
If this scene was spread out, it would definitely shock everyone.
After all, he was a man of perfect morals, and the most important thing on his moral monument was to abstain from women.
Clearly, what was written on the moral stele was one thing, and what he, a man of perfect morals, did was another.
“Master, Lin Yi’s scandal has been suppressed.” The butler stood at the side and reported respectfully.
” Mm.” Xiao Mang replied with a playful expression.” He’s using this kind of scandal to attract attention. He’s quite quick-witted. It’s a pity that he doesn’t know how to behave.”
“Judging from his actions, this kid’s ability is indeed extraordinary, but he’s arrogant,” the butler echoed.
” The other three out of the four supervisors of the Safety Inspection Department have already paid a visit.”
“Even Bai Shizu, who has the backing of King Qin’s mansion, is showing respect to the master. Only Lin Yi doesn’t care. It’s really inappropriate.”
In terms of procedure, the three dukes were the same as the king of Qin. They all had the right to question the Security Investigation Division.
In other words, he was the tutor of one of the three dukes, so he was technically Lin Yi’s superior.
However, Lin Yi didn’t even greet him in private, let alone visit him.
If it were any other big shot, they might have laughed it off, but Xiao Mang wouldn’t.
He was the role model of the people, and he was the master of etiquette. Lin Yi’s actions were disrespectful to his superiors!
“It’s not strange for a country bumpkin from a foreign land to not know the rules. I’ll trouble you to teach him how to be a person. It’s also the meaning of the question.”
Xiao Mang waved at the other four beautiful maidservants who were waiting at the side and changed into a more comfortable posture.
“It’s Lin Yi’s fortune to be taught by the master,” the butler said.”He’ll have to show some respect to the master.”
Xiao Mang glanced at him with a half-smile.” Don’t be too greedy. He has ten rules. Taking eight is enough. Leave two for him. After all, we still have to give face to the Prince of Zhao Residence.”
“Patriarch is merciful.”
The butler sincerely praised him. Then, he said,” I don’t think he’s a fool. He’ll naturally understand after he suffers a loss this time. He’ll know what to do then.”
“Oh right, that Dongfang Yan girl isn’t bad. I heard she’s close to Lin Yi?” Xiao Mang tapped the back of the chair lightly.
The butler immediately understood.” No matter how close their relationship is, for the sake of their own future, they still have to send it over. Since the family head is interested, it’s not up to them to decide.”
” What are you talking about? I’m your family head, a role model. How could I do something like forcefully snatching a commoner’s daughter? What would happen if word got out?”
” This kind of thing requires both parties to be willing,” Xiao Mang said faintly.” A forced melon is not sweet.”
