My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early - Chapter 373
Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Conspiracy Case (5) Situation Reversed, Suppressing Ye Wenhan
Translator: 549690339
The news about the violent eviction was causing a stir throughout Yanshang Country.
Song Zhizhi returned home from the press conference.
She sat on her sofa and opened the news app.
Escaping wouldn’t solve the problem completely.
She scrolling through the news.
Starting from when the accident happened and the Commercial Management was under fire, to the moment where Ye Wenhan pointed the finger at her, to her father publicly announcing the severance of father-daughter ties, to her press conference now… All this theatrical drama happened just in one day, precisely one afternoon and part of the evening.
Song Zhizhi calmly read the news and looked at many of the comments.
Although her press conference gave her some positive exposure, it didn’t improve her image. The internet users unanimously believed that since her father Song Shan chose to sever ties, it was definitive proof that the eviction incident was Song Zhizhi’s fault. Everything Song Zhizhi told the media was seen as an excuse, and the massive losses to Yanshang Country were deemed her responsibility; she should be punished by the law.
Song Zhizhi read a lot.
As much as she was numb to it all.
She even found herself humming along with the phrase ‘I am strong and can handle it all.’
She didn’t knew what time it was.
It must be very late.
Song Zhizhi received a call from Ji Baijian.
“Madam.”
Song Zhizhi forced a smile onto her face.
She changed her position and stood up from the sofa, heading towards the window.
The area Ji Baijian chose was in the most expensive residential complex in Jin City, so from here, one could see the night scenery of the entire Yanshang Country; a multitude of lights, too beautiful for words.
She realized it had been a long time since she’d admired the scenery around her.
From the time of her rebirth, her life seemed to have been one hectic run. She replied with a simple ‘hmm’ on the phone.
“You’re home?”
“Yes.” Song Zhizhi replied.
“I saw your news.”
“It didn’t have the desired effect.”
“Right.” Ji Baijian nodded over the phone.
“It’s mainly because of my father.” Song Zhizhi pointed out the problem’s crux.
“Your father’s actions have temporarily preserved himself, but they have left you in a worse situation.”
Song Zhizhi bit her lip and remained silent.
It seems as if Ji Baijian can sense her mood, he says, “Don’t feel too bad, this issue can be resolved, it just needs some time.”
“I know. But I still can’t help feeling disappointed.” Song Zhizhi continued to stare ahead.
She looked at the endless view of Jin City in front of her eyes.
She said, “Ji Baijian, my lifelong wish was to ensure the safety of my family. For this, I have put in much effort. However, I never imagined a day when my own family would hurt me. I always knew my father has some cravings for power, but I never thought his craving would be strong enough to neglect me.”
Ji Baijian remained silent, immersed in Song Zhizhi’s desolate mood.
The two held their phones, lost in thought for a long while.
In her past life, her love life hurt her deeply. She can still recall the bitterness in her heart when Ye Wenhan pushed her from the rooftop. She never thought that she’d fall in love with Ji Baijian again so quickly in this life, their love was uncontrollable. She had even braced herself for getting hurt once again. Little did she know that…
In this life.
In this life, the person who hurt her was the closest person she’d always yearned to protect.
Her emotions spiraled in turmoil and she constantly tried to suppress and maintain her calm.
She said, “Ji Baijian, I’m alright.”
“Madam, you don’t have to pretend to be strong in front of me.”
“I’m really fine. I’ll do my part. As for the future, I’ll leave it to fate.”
She saw clearly.
She forced herself to see the truth.
In her past life, she was the one who caused the destruction of her family. In this life, she sought to avenge and punish those who ruined her family.
After that, she will no longer interfere in her father’s affairs.
“Madam, bear with it for a few more days. I will help you clear your name.” Ji Baijian assured her.
She laughed, “Ji Baijian, why did I come across you?”
“It was destined.”
“Heaven has been kind to me.” Song Zhizhi smiled.
Both her rebirth and meeting the greatest man in the world were blessings from heaven.
“Appreciate it, then.” Ji Baijian said, his voice muffling the laugh, “Appreciate me.”
Good.
Song Zhizhi nodded.
She nodded her head heavily.
“Madam, get some rest early. There’s a lot more to deal with tomorrow.” Ji Baijian didn’t say much more as he knew she needed to face this herself.
There are some feelings that he couldn’t bear for her.
“Good night.”
“Good night.”
Song Zhizhi hung up the phone.
Her eyes still stared at the night scene of Jin City, seeing all the trickery that happened in the vast land.
She told herself.
She’s not afraid.
She had already faced death, what else was there to fear!
Under that same sky.
Ji Baijian also hung up the phone.
He sat on the hotel’s sofa, puffing on a cigarette, lost in thought as he was enveloped by smoke.
After finishing his smoke, his long fingers extinguished the cigarette.
Ji Baijian picked up the phone again.
The phone connected.
The voice on the other side seemed to be in high spirits as if excited, “Have you figured it out yet?”
“Hmm.” Ji Baijian murmured in agreement.
“So you’re agreeing to cooperate with me.” Jun Mingyu laughed, seemingly very pleased.
“Hmm.” Ji Baijian agreed once more.
“In the end, you compromised for Song Zhizhi.” Jun Mingyu seemed a bit defeated, “My charm is indeed incomparable to hers.”
“It has nothing to do with charm.”
“Yes, it’s about love.” Jun Mingyu joked.
Ji Baijian didn’t answer.
Jun Mingyu shrugged helplessly.
Ji Baijian was always indifferent and uninterested in everyone, except for Song Zhizhi.
Is this what it’s like to be conquered by someone?
No matter what.
At least there are people in this world whom Ji Baijian cares about, it’s good to know that they exist.
When he first saw the man trying to woo him, he didn’t think the man understood the taste of real life.
In retrospect.
He should be thankful to Song Zhizhi.
He asked, with a serious expression, “What do you need me to do?”
“Has there been any movement from Jun Minghan recently?” Ji Baijian asked.
“No,” Jun Mingyu bluntly replied. “Although I’ve been under Jun Minghan’s control for years, luckily, I’ve learned some tricks and planted a mole by his side. The mole has not reported any unusual activities so far. However, even if he doesn’t make a move, he still has a firm grip on all the occurrences within Commercial Management. You probably guessed it, Jun Minghan controls both Qian Guanshu and Song Shan.”
“Hmm.”
“Jun Minghan has been courting Song Shan recently, to incite internal strife between Qian Guanshu and Song Shan. The purpose of this power play is to create conflicts within Commercial Management, so we, the Jun family, can step in. We’ve had our eyes on Commercial Management for a while now.”
“I know,” Ji Baijian’s voice was somber.
“Rest assured, I’m a man of my word. As long as you help me secure that position, I won’t lay a finger on Commercial Management,” Jun Mingyu declared his stance.
“That’s not the main issue right now.”
“I just wanted to let you know upfront, so you won’t worry about me,” Jun Mingyu laughed and then grew serious, “In this internal conflict within Commercial Management, Jun Minghan also wants to eliminate me. If I can plant a mole by his side, he’s more than capable of doing the same to me. That’s why your recruitment is well known among the officials. In other words, you’re a thorn in the side of the government.”
Ji Baijian pressed his lips together.
“Given all that, Jun Mingyu orchestrated a brutal fight between Qian Guanshu and Song Shan. The last incident, where Song Zhizhi escaped right under Jun Minghan’s nose, revealed Song Zhizhi’s potential threat to him. Therefore, given his nature of ‘better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go,’ eliminating Song Zhizhi is inevitable. The thing that makes Jun Minghan formidable is that he doesn’t have to do his dirty work. He has numerous ways to use others to do his bidding, like making Song Shan go after her own daughter and probably you as well. That’s why I haven’t been able to pin any crimes on him all these years.”
Ji Baijian stayed silent, seemingly lost in thought.
Jun Mingyu said heavily, “Currently, Qian Guanshu and Song Shan are both in Jun Minghan’s control, but you and Song Zhizhi are not. There’s no way Jun Minghan would allow any threats to exist. Fearing that Song Shan might become unfaithful to him due to you and Song Zhizhi, he chooses to sabotage the relationship between Song Shan and Song Zhizhi, ensuring Song Shan’s loyalty. I assure you, he’ll make all attempts to eliminate you. I’m not scaring you, but just giving you a heads up. Jun Minghan is very cunning. One must always be careful. I don’t want our partnership to end prematurely.”
“Rest assured, I won’t die that easily,” Ji Baijian said word by word.
“I hope so.”
“I need your help with two things,” said Ji Baijian, getting straight to the point after understanding the entire situation.
“Go ahead.”
“Firstly, this incident is obviously a frame-up. I’m currently gathering evidence to unveil the truth. However, whether evidence can be fully utilized, nobody knows given the current situation. So, I hope you can take the initiative to thoroughly investigate this matter. In other words, you will be in charge when the trial comes, not anyone else from the government. Even Song Wen cannot be trusted.”
“Ok,” Jun Mingyu agreed without hesitation.
Truth be told, he’d been thinking the same.
Anyway, as the third prince, he was willing to contribute to the kingdom. His father and older brother would find it hard to deny him in front of government ministers.
“The second thing. Song Zhizhi may encounter danger in the near future. I’m not in Jin City at the moment, so I hope you can arrange her covert protection. If anything happens to her, everything we’ve done will be in vain.”
“Are you threatening me that if anything happens to Song Zhizhi, our cooperation will end?”
“It’s not a threat, just a statement of fact.”
“Understood,” Jun Mingyu, agreed lazily.
Ji Baijian said, “We’ll be in touch if there’s anything.”
There’s no need to waste each other’s time now.
Ji Baijian hung up the phone. He knew clearly that from the moment he agreed to cooperate with Jun Mingyu, the outcome of many things would no longer be completely under his control!
The next day.
Song Zhizhi opened her eyes.
She still can’t sleep.
She got out of bed and freshened up.
She started her day, trying to put herself in the best state possible.
She told herself that if Ji Baijian was trying so hard, then she, as the instigator, had no right to just give up.
She quickly washed and changed into a set of outdoor clothes, then walked out the door.
Wei Ziming was waiting for her downstairs early in the morning.
She sat in the back seat, “Go to the Airport District.”
“Okay.” Wei Ziming nodded.
Song Zhizhi took out her mobile phone to check the news.
The news was still filled with reports on the demolition accident. Song Zhizhi guessed that it would not die down anytime soon.
She put down her phone, looking very calm.
The car arrived at a residential building in the Airport District.
Song Zhizhi went in.
According to the current reports in the news, the resident who threatened to jump from the building had been persuaded by Ye Wenhan to return to his home and was reportedly calm now.
She stood in front of the building’s entrance.
She knocked on the door.
The door opened.
The man who intended to jump from the building, Liu Wen, immediately darkened when he saw Song Zhizhi.
Song Zhizhi quickly pushed the door open to stop the man from slamming it shut.
The man glared at Song Zhizhi, “What do you want?”
“Mr. Liu, I mean you no harm. I am just here to understand the situation. If I remember correctly, you signed the relocation agreement quite willingly. Why have you suddenly said that we forcibly relocated you?”
“Yes, I was fooled by you. I thought you could give me the so-called discount, but I didn’t expect you to secretly arrange threats against me, prohibiting me from asking for any additional benefits. All I wanted was to have my daughter attend the Airport International Private School for free in the name of a needy student. You verbally agreed, but secretly, you did such things! Don’t blame me for exposing your deceitfulness.”
“I didn’t do that. What I promise, I will deliver. I’ve even started discussing your daughter’s situation with the private school. I think there’s been a misunderstanding.”
“There’s no misunderstanding!” Liu Wen said fiercely, “I don’t need your pretense anymore. Mr. Ye has already helped me solve all the problems and has promised to enable my daughter to study from elementary school to university. He has resolved all my worries.”
Song Zhizhi clenched her teeth.
She knew it. At this moment, Ye Wenhan would fully play the role of a good person. It was impossible to get any information from Liu Wen.
“Get out. I don’t ever want to see you again!”
“Mr. Liu, have you ever considered the amount of damage your actions yesterday have caused to Yanshang Country. Before we could clarify the situation, you directly used the media to protect your so-called rights, causing the largest economic project of Yanshang Country in the past ten years to fail. Do you know what this means?”
“That’s your business. I’m an ordinary citizen, I only need to worry about my own life. National affairs are your business and have nothing to do with me. I just need to live my own life!” Liu Wen’s emotions were extremely agitated.
At that moment, he pushed Song Zhizhi, forcing her to leave the entrance of his house.
Song Zhizhi was pushed several steps back by Liu Wen’s brute force.
Wei Ziming was safeguarding her from behind.
Liu Wen said fiercely, “Don’t preach to me about principles. If you hadn’t been so ruthless, I wouldn’t have done such a thing. Don’t show up before me anymore. I won’t listen to anything you say!”
The door was slammed shut.
Song Zhizhi kind of expected this outcome.
Moreover, the reason she came today was not because of Liu Wen.
She turned around and left the building.
Just as she walked downstairs, she suddenly saw Ye Wenhan.
Whenever Ye Wenhan went out, he naturally had people following him. More importantly, reporters recorded and broadcasted his every move.
Song Zhizhi’s appearance instantly attracted the attention of everyone there.
The reporters didn’t dare to act rashly even though they desperately wanted to interview Song Zhizhi.
Song Zhizhi turned around, ready to leave.
“Song Zhizhi.” Ye Wenhan suddenly called out to her.
Song Zhizhi paused her steps.
“What are you doing here? Are you here to threaten Mr. Liu and his family again?!” Ye Wenhan was filled with righteous indignation, appearing so lofty and unyielding.
Song Zhizhi just stared at Ye Wenhan.
She was thinking, if she really was exposed, how … ridiculous his stern and upright face would look!
She said, “Does Mr. Ye think that I am so stupid? At this critical moment, I would do something that would only harm myself. Or is it that Mr. Ye is used to manipulating media opinions, leading people to misunderstand my actions?”
The implication was that there was a deliberate frame-up involved in this incident.
“Song Zhizhi, the truth is right in front of you, yet you still insist on making excuses.”
“The truth? If the truth is really in front of us, why wouldn’t the police just take me into custody,” Song Zhizhi retorted. “You have been insisting that I am behind the violent eviction, but where is the evidence? Is your so-called evidence just Liu Wen’s one-sided words? Mr. Ye, as the top leader of Commercial Management, you have arbitrarily determined everything without official confirmation! Don’t you find your actions ridiculous?”
“Song Zhizhi!” Ye Wenhan gritted his teeth, controlling his temper in front of so many journalists. “Your father has already acknowledged your actions, yet you keep making excuses. Aren’t you ashamed of all this contradiction?”
“My father has always been loyal to Commercial Management, and even more so to you. Whatever you say, my father would naturally follow. In the face of righteousness, my father never considers himself and would certainly never let family bias get in the way of national justice!”
Ye Wenhan looked coldly at Song Zhizhi.
Song Zhizhi was actually more capable than he had thought.
It seemed like no matter what he said, she could always find the perfect words to rebut.
He said, “You have always been eloquent, and I don’t want to waste time on this. The police are currently in pursuit of the culprit who threatened Mr. Liu’s family, and we’ll see if you can still be so complacent by then.”
“I am also looking forward to the day when the truth comes out.” Song Zhizhi said, then chuckled, “I won’t bother Mr. Ye’s precious time to comfort the Liu family anymore. I believe they will be very grateful for your timely assistance. By the way, I just visited Mr. Liu, and he seemed to be in good spirits. He said that you have promised to send his daughter to a private school, from elementary to university. Mr. Ye is really generous. Whether his daughter’s academic performance or character will be good in the future is unknown, but Mr. Ye has allowed her to surpass 80% of her peers in Yanshang Country without the need to strive during her formative years. Your generosity really leaves me in the dust!”
“Song Zhizhi…”
“Of course, I know that Mr. Ye always has good intentions, and it’s only right to compensate the Liu family for their suffering. Although isn’t Mr. Ye always busy? Making special trips to the Liu’s every day really shows how much importance he places on them, and has allowed the public to see Mr. Ye’s kindness towards the people. I believe the general public will hold you in even higher regard, even I feel moved.”
“What do you mean?!” Ye Wenhan gritted his teeth.
Song Zhizhi laughed, “Exactly what it sounds like. Mr. Ye, don’t overthink it, don’t assume I’m mocking your superficial efforts and neglect of your regular work. I sincerely admire your impartial treatment of all the people of Yanshang Country. I imagine, in the future, anyone who faces injustice, Mr. Ye will offer personal assistance, otherwise it wouldn’t be fair, right?”
Ye Wenhan’s face changed instantly.
However, Song Zhizhi’s smile was radiant, “I really won’t disturb Mr. Ye’s precious time anymore.”
She turned around and left.
Ye Wenhan glared fiercely at Song Zhizhi’s back.
He had stopped her to ridicule and mock her, but instead, he was the one being heavily mocked.
The journalists present also exchanged glances.
Although Song Zhizhi’s words contained hostility, one could not deny the pearls of wisdom therein. In his handling of this incident, Ye Wenhan indeed went a bit too far.
Not only did he give the Liu family too much preferential treatment, but as an individual with such a high position, he even spent so much time personally handling an incident that could easily have been delegated to someone else. This made people suspect he was more concerned with appearances.
More importantly, Ye Wenhan’s behavior dramatically encouraged the general public’s sense of entitlement, which was not a good sign.
Of course, Ye Wenhan also considered all this.
His face grim, he turned around and walked into the residential building, struggling to control his emotions.
After all, after this incident was exposed, the first thing anyone would do is run away. Waiting to be arrested by the police would be too suspicious! His father’s plan was flawless.
Ye Wenhan smiled grimly.
This time, Song Zhizhi had no way out!
After Song Zhizhi exited the residential building, she got into her car.
She immediately called Yin Qin, “Yin Qin.”
“Speak.”
“Right now, ask if there are any reporters from the Milky Way Media among those who followed Ye Wenhan to the residential building in the Airport District.”
“Alright,” Yin Qin agreed without asking any questions.
Five minutes.
Yin Qin called back, “Yes. But that reporter is subordinate to Wei Cheng, and will likely follow Wei Cheng’s decisions. In other words, what I say doesn’t matter.”
“Alright, I understand.” Seems like there’s no way to expose the mockery that was made towards Ye Wenhan, and Song Zhizhi didn’t want Yin Qin to waste time on this. She plainly said, “I need some reporters, your reporters.”
“Now?”
“Yes, come to the Airport District.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Song Zhizhi said to Wei Ziming, “Turn around and go back.”
“To the place we just left?”
“No, the neighboring district.”
If Ye Wenhan could manipulate public opinion, so could she.
Wei Ziming drove directly to the place specified by Song Zhizhi.
They arrived at the entrance of another district and waited for about ten minutes.
Song Zhizhi saw the two reporters and two photographers arranged by Yin Qin.
“Let’s go.” Song Zhizhi led the reporters into the residential building, speaking as she walked, “You don’t need to write from my perspective, just report what you see and hear today without bias. I need a live broadcast.”
“Alright,” the reporter promised hastily.
The two reporters stopped at one of the entrances in the residential building, one reporter found a good position and said to the photographer, “Hello everyone, I am Zhang Quan, a reporter from the Milky Way. Regarding the violent demolition incidents that have been causing public uproar recently, we have come to a residential district in the Airport District to understand the situation. We have interviewed the victim, Liu Wen, several times before and today we want to hear the views of other residents on this demolition incident. Please follow my camera.”
Then.
The cameraman followed the reporter in.
They interviewed residents randomly, one floor at a time.
Two reporters and two photographers live-streamed, interviewing a total of about ten households.
The ten households are quite satisfied with the demolition in the Airport District, claiming they have not experienced the violent demolition. Five households were angry about Liu Wen’s actions, feeling they were intentional to gain advantages from the demolition, leading to severe losses for the country for personal gain! Three households expressed confusion about the wide social acceptance toward Liu Wen’s family and were even more baffered that the head of Commercial Management personally offered condolences! One resident was quite extreme and asked on camera, “Is this live?”
“Yes,” the reporter responded.
“Good, I hope you won’t edit what I say. I will say exactly what I think as a resident here! I personally feel that the fact that Liu Wen’s case can stir up a one-sided public outcry is really ridiculous! I don’t understand why in the face of national interests, personal interests are more important? Is this humanism? It must instead be selfishness. If a country becomes like this, then in the future, won’t everything be decided by individuals? Then, are the all years of the Jun family’s monarchy in Yanshang Country, the management of the Ye family in the Commercial Management, the establishment of so many departments… are they all just for show?!”
“So Mr. Wu, are you saying you think Liu Wen’s actions in this incident were wrong?”
“Of course his actions were wrong. When all of us signed the demolition agreement, the staff clearly explained how much benefit this project could bring to Yanshang Country and how much economic income it could generate. As residents of Yanshang Country, we are even proud that we can contribute to the country. Even if we did face violent demolitions, we could defend our rights by calling the police. Instead, Liu Wen has blown the situation out of proportion, causing huge losses! I’ve also heard that Mr. Ye of Commercial Management sympathized with Liu Wen, and gave him a huge compensation to calm him down. I mean, he caused such huge losses for the country and still gains so much benefits?! If I was the head of Commercial Management, I would have eliminated him!”
Of course, the words “eliminate him” were muffled.
Even so, his angry emotions were palpable.
The live news spread wildly through the media channels.
Initially, everyone condemned Song Zhizhi’s inhuman conduct, but at this moment, people began to question Liu Wen’s actions.
They knew that this incident would impact the interests of the nation, but they ignored it anyway.
Still, a large number of people felt that when one’s oneself and one’s family are threatened, one might do extreme things. After all, Liu Wen is an ordinary person, he couldn’t have foreseen all of this.
The news caused a big stir, and it looked like Song Zhizhi didn’t gain any benefits. The public was still condemning her.
However, no doubt, the release of this news directly implicated Ye Wenhan!
Some netizens openly criticized Ye Wenhan’s handling of this incident, suggesting that his actions had many negative effects. They felt he had not considered the larger picture, and that his worldview was too narrow. Some commented that Ye Wenhan was not professionally trained, and they began to question if he was capable of managing the Commercial Management effectively.
In an instant.
All of the conflict was no longer concentrated on Song Zhizhi, this was an underlying benefit.
As for Ye Wenhan, who was certainly thinking about how to manage the crisis, his attention would be diverted, providing her the opportunity to do more!
Song Zhizhi watched the news with a cold smirk on her face.
The moment she put down her phone, the phone rang suddenly.
Song Zhizhi looked at the caller ID and picked it up.
There was a biting anger on the other end of the line, “Song Zhizhi!”
“Hm?” Song Zhizhi responded lightly.
“Did you have the news broadcasted?” Ye Wenhan asked angrily.
“Mr. Ye, don’t you find it amusing? The news is broadcasted by the media, I don’t have that much pull. Besides, this represents the public’s voice, I certainly can’t manipulate public sentiment like you can.”
“Don’t get cocky too soon, I’m telling you!” Ye Wenhan threatened.
“You’re the one basking in glory, I don’t dare to. You’re the helmsman of the Commercial Management, I’m just an ordinary person you fired, where do I stand to act high mighty in front of you?”
“Cut out the sarcasm. Song Zhizhi, behave well and I might spare you. The more you act up, the more I’ll make you regret.”
“Honestly, I don’t even trust a punctuation mark you say, so… stop wasting your time on me and think about how to save your face.”
“Song Zhizhi…”
Song Zhizhi hung up the call.
She could perfectly imagine how livid Ye Wenhan would be now.
He had perfectly calculated and laid out his plans, all the public opinion was against her, it only took a day for public sentiment to flip!
As the helmsman of the Commercial Management, he was actually being dismissed by ordinary folks!
Ye Wenhan clenched his phone, that moment he felt like he was about to fray at the nerves.
Barely back from Liu Wen’s place to the Commercial Management, he had the news media that was under his control broadcast his benevolent actions. Yet, before he could enjoy the fruits of his labor, a news breaks; he was being questioned by everyone whether he had gone overboard with his handling, if he was showing off on purpose!
His whole being was trembling with rage.
At that instant, he wished nothing more than to strip Song Zhizhi of her skin to vent his anger!
The door to the office was abruptly pushed open.
Ye Wenhan’s heart lurched, terrified.
He glanced at Qian Guanshu, his face darkened to the extreme.
Ye Wenhan quickly stood up from his office chair, displaying a cautious attitude.
“Ye Wenhan, how did this news come about?” Qian Guanshu roared.
Ye Wenhan stuttered, “It was Song Zhizhi, it was Song Zhizhi’s intentional plot, I… I didn’t know she would do this, I have been implementing our plans all along, I didn’t figure she would let others purposely discredit me, if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have allowed her to do it at all, I thought she would surely find Liu Wen, so I kept my agents close to Liu Wen, I didn’t realize her real target was others, I really…”
“Enough! I don’t want to hear so many of your excuses!” Qian Guanshu’s voice was freezing, “Do you know why this would have happened at the root of it all?”
“Song Zhizhi was too cunning, I underestimated her!”
“Ye Wenhan, don’t you use your brain to think? Song Zhizhi being cunning is one aspect, but the most important thing is, you didn’t control the Milky Way Group. This news was broadcasted by the Milky Way Group, obviously, Song Zhizhi borrowed Yin Qin’s power! If you had controlled the Milky Way Group now, do you think this news would still have been exposed? I reminded you before to control the Milky Way Group, what are you and Wei Cheng doing up till now! The Milky Way group is still in Yin Bin and Yin Qin’s hands, how could we control the media and public opinion!” Qian Guanshu was increasingly agitated, “I really shouldn’t have let you handle the Milky Way Group’s matters!”
Ye Wenhan was left speechless by Qian Guanshu.
He didn’t dare to utter one word.
“For now, let’s not bother about the news, no matter how much or how wrong we’ve done, the best method is to sue Song Zhizhi immediately to end this as soon as possible. Furthermore, we can’t delay the matter about controlling the Milky Way group, we must depose Yin Bin immediately, and raise Wei Cheng to power. Only then can we completely control all media and public sentiment of Yanshang Country, and prevent such events from happening today!”
“Yin Bin has been in the Milky Way group for many years, controlling 54% of the shares of the Milky Way Group, even if we rally all other board members of the Milky Way group, we still can’t control it.”
“If Yin Bin has more shares, then make him cough them up!”
“How should he cough it up?”
“Ye Wenhan, use your head for once, you need to come up with a solution.”
Ye Wenhan didn’t dare to argue.
In his father’s eyes, he was worthless.
But in his heart, he was seething.
Back then, if they weren’t the ones who sent him away, he wouldn’t be compelled to learn all these manipulative plots now.
Losing so much time, endlessly striving for his father’s approval, it left a sour taste in his mouth.
“Call Wei Cheng for me, I want to see him alone.” Qian Guanshu ordered.
“Yes.”
In front of Qian Guanshu, Ye Wenhan could only bend to his will.
Milky Way Building.
Yin Qin was looking at the news on his phone, very seriously.
He was quite fond of gossip, but this news was definitely not something he was looking at for entertainment, he was genuinely impressed with Song Zhizhi.
He racked his brains thinking about how to calm the public sentiment against Song Zhizhi, but he didn’t expect that she would shift the controversy so swiftly in just a moment.
He had been watching it all day.
Looking at it to the end, he actually felt a bit of sympathy for Ye Wenhan.
He didn’t know where Ye Wenhan got the confidence to antagonize Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi!
Yin Qin put his feet down from the office desk and prepared to shut his office for the day.
He had just reached the door when his phone suddenly rang.
He looked at the incoming call from a strange number, furrowed his brows, and answered, “Hello.”
“We got Ji Baixin.”
Yin Qin’s face changed instantly.
“I just want money.” The voice on the other end was straight-forward.
“How much?”
“How much do you think Ji Baixin is worth?” The voice on the other side asked coldly.
“You name your price.” Yin Qin responded firmly.
“One hundred million.”
“You think I have that?!”
“Then prepare to collect a corpse.”
“Wait….”
The call was abruptly hung up from the other side.
Yin Qin looked at his phone, his body trembling.
He tried to calm himself down.
Called Ji Baixin’s number, it was turned off.
He then dialed Li Wenjun’s number.
“Yin Qin?”
“Is Ji Baixin with you?”
“No, she’s resting at home today, I’m at work. …..”
Before Li Wenjun could finish, Yin Qin had already hung up the call.
He charged out of the office like a mad man, his face was ghastly.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, Li Wenjun calmly dialed another number, he said, “Yin Qin has taken the bait.”
“Be sure not to give yourself away.”
“I know. But you promised not to truly harm Ji Baixin.”
“Rest assured.”
The call abruptly ended on the other end.
Li Wenjun sneered coldly.
He had said it before, he was not the same old Li Wenjun, when faced with love and bread, bread was undoubtedly more important!
