Online criticism and rants against Mei Yue Company surged incessantly, with many family members of the personnel working at Mei Yue pressuring their relatives to resign upon learning that they were employed there.
Mei Yue fell into a predicament more dangerous than that of Ling Corporation, with Luo Jingxuan being taken away for investigation as well. Mei Yueâs factory was sealed off for investigation, and all operations came to a halt.
Inside an office of Mei Yue Company, Yan Ling stood in front of the window, looking at the large crowd gathered below and at the five families of the deceased kneeling beside the bodies, denouncing Mei Yue, her brow deeply furrowed, her face looking extremely unwell.
Just then, Lin Xiaoyan and Li Wanqin entered the room, both wearing rather unsightly expressions.
"Sister Yan, what should we do now? If this continues, Iâm afraid Mei Yue is really going to be finished, and all of Jingxuanâs efforts will have been in vain," Lin Xiaoyan couldnât help saying, her eyes filled with worry.
"I have no solution at the moment. Ye Luo is unreachable for some reason, right when we need him the most. Jingxuan is still undergoing investigation and hasnât returned. Right now, we can only try to stabilize the situation," Yan Ling sighed as she spoke.
"You must also know about the incident at Ling Corporation today. I have a feeling that these two events are not normal," Li Wanqin said with a slight frown.
"What do you mean?" Yan Lingâs gaze turned towards Li Wanqin.
"I just feel that all this is someone targeting us from behind the scenes, or more specifically targeting Ye Luo," Li Wanqin said faintly.
Yan Lingâs eyes flashed with a strange look, "Are you suggesting that the incidents at Ling Corporation and Mei Yue were orchestrated by the same group, aiming specifically at Ye Luo?"
"Exactly. Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence, especially with Ye Luo away. After all, the only common denominator between Ling Corporation and Mei Yue is their association with Ye Luo. And today, Fang Corporation launched a strike against Ling Corporation."
"I remember the Fang Family seems to hold a grudge against Ye Luo, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with our breast enhancement pills. Itâs clear that this is well organized and premeditated, and the other party has substantial power, leaving us completely unable to fight back," Li Wanqin analyzed point by point.
"Anyway, for now, we can only take it one step at a time and hope that Ye Luo gets back soon. Xiao Yan, keep calling Ye Luo until you get through, perhaps he is the only one who can resolve all these troubles," Yan Ling said somberly.
Meanwhile, at the city police station, Luo Jingxuan and Ling Qingya coincidentally ran into each other, exchanging glances.
In a VIP room of a clubhouse in Capital City, bursts of laughter rang out.
Seated in the room were Fang Yan, Chen Yaowen, and father and son duo Wang Quan and Wang Tiancheng, all looking extremely thrilled, wine glasses in hand.
"This is truly exhilarating. It seems Fang Shao is impressive indeed, striking two birds with one stone, directly rendering Ling Corporation and Mei Yue powerless to resist," Wang Quan spoke with a face full of smiles.
"This success wouldnât be possible without the two of you, and of course, the help from the Shen Family. It can only be blamed that both companies are related to Ye Luo, so they can only recognize their bad luck," Fang Yan said with a cold smile, his pupils flickering with a sinister light.
"Next is that woman, Ling Qing Ya. I must have my fun with her," Chen Yaowen said with a cold laugh.
"I also must have my fun with Luo Jingxuan. I want to see if she can still be as proud as before," Wang Tiancheng said with an equally cold smile, lewdness flashing in his eyes.
At the Shen Family Estate, inside the grand hall of the Shen Family, the Family Head Shen Changfeng was seated, with his brother Shen Changqing beside him.
"Changqing, you did well this time," Shen Changfeng said, looking at Shen Changqing.
"Big brother, although this can hit that guy hard, it canât avenge Yun Long," Shen Changqing said indifferently.
"Iâm well aware, but the boy has a strong background, and his martial skills are also formidable. Itâs not easy for us to deal with him. However, father will soon complete his seclusion, and once he breaks through to the Saint Realm, dealing with that boy will be a piece of cake. At that time, Iâll make sure he wishes he were dead," Shen Changqing said coldly.
"By the way, big brother, I heard that there will soon be a grand auction in the Capital City, where spiritual medicines and elixirs that can enhance oneâs strength will be auctioned."
"If we manage to secure them, they could perhaps be used to boost Yun Feiâs strength. That way, he might stand a chance in the upcoming Qing List competition," Shen Changqing suggested.
A glint of sharpness flashed in Shen Changfengâs eyes. "Now, with the help of all the Shen Familyâs resources, Yun Feiâs strength has already reached the Innate Late Stage, making another breakthrough quite challenging."
"If we can get our hands on these elixirs and spiritual medicines, it could well boost his strength again. And although our Shen Family doesnât have an abundance of cultivation resources, we certainly donât have any issue with money. If these elixirs and spiritual medicines really do come up for auction, we must secure them."
"Youâre right, big brother," Shen Changqing nodded in agreement.
Liu Family Estate.
In the grand hall of the Liu family, Liu Shiyun beseechingly asked her grandfather Liu XiaChuan, "Grandfather, please help Ling Corporation and Mei Yue. Theyâre really in danger right now."
"My child, this matter isnât as simple as it seems to be on the surface. Itâs clearly a huge conspiracy targeting Ling Corporation and Mei Yue, or perhaps, itâs aiming at Ye Luo," Liu XiaChuan said helplessly.
"Moreover, with the Shen Family involved, even if I wanted to help, I really couldnât. Old Master Lingâs connections and influence are surely no worse than mine; even he canât handle it, what can your grandfather do?" Liu XiaChuan said with a sense of incapacity.
"But..." Liu Shiyunâs brows slightly knitted together, her eyes carrying a sense of urgency.
"Youâre doing all this for that Ye Luo, arenât you?" Liu XiaChuan asked, a light smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Liu Shiyunâs face blushed slightly without answering, but her reaction had already betrayed her true feelings.
"Child, donât worry. Everything will be fine once Ye Luo returns. We must have faith in him. However, you can allocate some funds from the company to help Ling Corporation fend off Fang Corporationâs attacks. Thatâs the least I can do as an old friend," Liu XiaChuan said after taking a sip of his tea.
"Thank you, grandfather," Liu Shiyun said, her lips curving into a slight smile.
"Itâs about time to find a suitable husband for my granddaughter," Liu XiaChuan said with a chuckle.
Liu Shiyun, her face blushing, hastily ran out.
In the Capital City, Qin Yuru also learned about the events in Zhonghai, her brows deeply furrowed.
At that moment, Xiang Tiandong walked in. "President, did you want to see me?"
"See if you can allocate some funds to help the Ling Corporation in Zhonghai," Qin Yuru said.
