Chapter 2756: Chapter 2757: Undercurrent

Zhong Hai, Qin Han’s barbecue shop.

A new batch of rare ingredients arrived at the shop, but the quantities were limited. Qin Han had no intention of doing deliveries, so he called everyone around to come over and have a feast.

Even though Lin Yi was not in Zhong Hai, Ji Qingyan still came over.

Even though she poured all her love into her child, staying home with the child every day was extremely tedious.

So she was dragged here by He Yuanyuan to relax and unwind.

“Sister-in-law, any news from Lin Bro? When will he return?” After eating and drinking their fill, Liang Jinming asked.

“He should be back any day now,” Ji Qingyan said:

“He messaged me yesterday and said he is on the plane.”

“Then let’s eat quickly and not leave anything for him,” Qin Han said.

“Hahaha…”

“Wait, everyone stop laughing!”

He Yuanyuan shouted, startling everyone to silence.

“What’s wrong, Yuanyuan?” Gao Zongyuan asked.

“Look at the person in the video, isn’t that him?”

He Yuanyuan handed over her phone, and a few people leaned in to look, their expressions changing instantly.

“What’s going on? Given his status in the country? Who would dare to arrest him?” Qin Han said.

Everyone looked at Ji Qingyan, but she shook her head, her face looking very troubled.

“I don’t know what’s going on either.”

Ji Qingyan’s thoughts aligned with everyone else’s.

Lin Yi had significant influence in the country and under normal circumstances, such a thing shouldn’t happen.

Even if it did, it shouldn’t get reported.

And now, such information has brazenly appeared online. Vaguely, Ji Qingyan felt that things weren’t that simple.

“Yuanyuan, go back to the company and keep an eye on the situation over there,” Ji Qingyan said:

“I feel like someone is framing him.”

“Alright, I got it.”

Ji Qingyan went silent, her beautiful brows furrowing together.

All her worries were written on her face.

A woman’s intuition was telling her that this was no coincidence.

Trying to arrest Lin Yi was no simple matter.

It’s very likely been planned for a long time.

Bam bam bam!

Ji Qingyan’s heart inexplicably sped up, a bad premonition spreading in her mind.

…

Jiashi Media, General Manager’s Office.

Yan Ci, dressed in a black Dior haute couture women’s business suit, sat in front of the computer, examining last quarter’s financial report.

Ding-dong—

As Yan Ci was fully focused, a notification popped up on her phone.

Yan Ci didn’t really pay attention, just glanced at it briefly before continuing her work.

But in the next few minutes, three more notifications arrived, all with similar content.

Lin, from Yang City, arrested for endangering public safety.

Yan Ci, having risen from the news industry, was naturally sensitive to such news.

Normally, one notification would suffice for news like this, but now four had come at once, indicating that the matter had been hyped to a stormy peak.

Due to her sensitivity to trends, Yan Ci grabbed her phone and opened one of the notifications.

But the contents inside turned her face pale, and her hands began to tremble.

“How could it be him!”

Yan Ci repeatedly confirmed, examining for a long time without finding any differences.

The person shown was indeed Lin Yi!

The accompanying information matched up perfectly too.

For a moment, Yan Ci’s mind went blank.

This kind of event was like a fairy tale to her.

More absurd than Mars crashing into Earth.

Yan Ci quickly regained her composure, finding the phone number of a microblog manager.

“CEO Yang, are you busy?”

Yan Ci suppressed her fluctuating emotions, politely saying.

“There’s a bit of a situation; I’m working overtime. Just say what you need, we’re old friends.”

“I wanted to ask about today’s microblog trending topics—what’s going on? Where did it break out from? The person in question is my friend. How much will it cost to suppress it?”

“How close are you to them?”

The counter-question left Yan Ci puzzled, but she still answered:

“Very close. Just tell me how much it’ll cost to suppress it.”

“It can’t be suppressed,” the other party said:

“To be honest, it’s been less than half an hour since this broke out, and it’s already topped the entire network. Even if you could suppress the microblog’s trend, what about other websites? This isn’t just a matter of money.”

Yan Ci, immersed in this industry, knew the rules well.

Reaching such terrifying figures in just over half an hour—it’s hard to believe there’s no behind-the-scenes pusher.

“Do you know who’s orchestrating this?”

“I can’t say specifically, but it’s likely those big shots. In short, don’t think about suppressing the trend; this isn’t something we common folks can handle.”

“Alright, thank you, CEO Yang.”

“You’re welcome. I have other matters to attend to; I’ll hang up first.”

“Alright, you take care, CEO Yang.”

After hanging up, Yan Ci quietly sat in her chair.

She smelled a conspiracy in this matter.

Someone was deliberately expanding the impact!

…

Yanjing, Liang family.

When the news broke out, the Liang family saw it immediately.

Liang Ruoxu, in a fury, smashed his phone, cursing the Wang family.

“Getting angry is useless; it won’t solve the real problem,” Shen Shuyi said:

“I’ve already notified the web monitoring side. The related information will soon be taken down, and then we’ll find some PR companies to handle it, claiming it’s fake news. This matter will be over.”

“But the problem is he’s been arrested, and the reason is appropriate. It will be very difficult to get him out.”

“Your grandpa and Elder Lu are already handling it. What we can do is wait for their news.”

“The Wang family dared to act at this time, surely they have fully prepared; it’s unlikely they’d make a move without absolute confidence.”

Liang Ruoxu said:

“I guess their next step will be against the Lingyun Group.”

“That’s for sure; the importance of Lingyun Group is immeasurable. Such a big piece of meat, the Wang family won’t let it slide,” Shen Shuyi said:

“But you don’t have to worry about that part. Just stay home and watch the kids; don’t concern yourself with anything else.”

Liang Ruoxu remained calm; she knew at this level of conflict, she truly had no place to intervene and could only quietly await news.

Unlike the others, Liang Xianghe was in the courtyard drinking tea, his expression deep as he occasionally sipped, showing no emotion.

After finishing a pot of tea, Liang Xianghe picked up his phone and found someone’s number.

After a few rings, the call was answered.

“The meeting is over? When will it end?”

“It might take a few more days; things are a bit complicated here,” the person on the other end paused a moment:

“I heard about the situation back home. Have you thought of a way to handle it?”

“I’m waiting for more news; forget your meeting and come back quickly.”

“Got it, Dad.”
