The Li family needed to lose weight. By using the gold shop incident to tie up certain bloated individuals, it was precisely what General Manager Zhao hoped to see.
As for online spats and the like, General Manager Zhao wouldn’t take them seriously.
However, for certain people to bring up the Blackwater Forest trap, almost naming names, and forcing Li Wujiang’s only son to go there, that was going too far!
When Wangzhe and others fell into the trap and were trapped in the Blackwater Forest, the Li family’s immediate reaction was top secret.
Some people didn’t know, but General Manager Zhao did.
Even Hua Ye Shen’s eldest grandson perished there. What more did they expect from the Li family?
Did they really want Li Wujiang’s only son to die there before those people would be satisfied?
Let alone Li Wujiang.
Even General Manager Zhao wouldn’t agree to let Li Wujiang’s only son go there.
After all, that place was a trap!
No matter how great one's abilities, the chance of survival there wouldn’t exceed 30%, and the probability of returning unharmed was even lower than 5%.
Yet those people kept using Li Wujiang’s position as a reason.
This was essentially forcing Li Wujiang to resign.
If Li Wujiang were to resign, it would not only bring considerable difficulty to General Manager Zhao’s work, but more importantly, his prestige in the Eastern Land was unparalleled.
The dark web was precisely deterred by Li Wujiang’s presence in Sijiu, which prevented them from causing trouble there.
Once Li Wujiang left, who knew what would happen?
“Alright, I understand.”
As Elder Xu nodded calmly, the desk phone rang.
General Manager Zhao casually picked up the receiver, “This is Zhao Tiandong.”
“General Manager Zhao.”
A respectful voice reported, “Half an hour ago, in the program ‘Xiao Niu Says,’ Sister Hua views the North-South, and Brother Wen told you that three people sequentially met with accidents. Resuscitation was unsuccessful. They are deceased.”
The three individuals from “Xiao Niu Says” were all celebrities with tens of millions of fans.
Their online influence was by no means comparable to ordinary self-media streamers.
If one person suddenly died in a car accident or similar mishap, no one would find it strange.
The key was that these three individuals were not only celebrities with tens of millions of fans, but they were also the most vocal critics, questioning why a certain person's only son didn’t go to the Blackwater Forest to aid his countrymen.
Especially since their sudden deaths were concentrated within the past half hour.
Even a fool could see that someone was targeting them.
Simply because they said what they shouldn’t have online!
So, who would be the one to secretly eliminate them?
Please use your imagination—
“Bastards!”
After General Manager Zhao finished listening, his already ashen face turned even darker.
He absolutely refused to believe that the Li family would secretly assassinate these internet celebrities for “wildly instigating” Li Qianfan to go to the Blackwater Forest to his death.
But the fact was, the Li family not only had the motive but also the capability!
“Alright, I know. Keep a close eye on the progress of these three cases. Report any significant findings to me at any time.”
After General Manager Zhao put down the receiver, he looked at Elder Xu and, in a calm tone, briefly recounted the accidental deaths of the individuals from “Xiao Niu Says.”
Elder Xu’s expression truly changed after listening.
He also firmly believed that the Li family would never do something so unscrupulous.
And the certain people he represented wouldn’t dare to use such extreme measures to further inflame the conflict.
There must be a third party taking advantage of the situation!
Their sole purpose was to let the "evil wind" stirred up by certain people targeting Li Qianfan completely spiral out of control.
“Go back and ask those people if making this evil wind turn into a new hurricane is what they want.”
General Manager Zhao’s tone turned cold. He picked up his teacup (a gesture of dismissal) and said, “I suddenly feel that the Li family’s methods towards certain people might have been too lenient.”
Elder Xu’s expression changed again.
Twelve thirty PM.
This was Tiandong!
In the flowing pavilion in the southwest corner.
Jiao Yin, who was about to take a nap, received a call.
A woman’s respectful voice reported, “Manager Jiao, the three of them from ‘Xiao Niu Says’ were dealt with within the stipulated time.”
“Very good.”
Jiao Yin, reclining on the couch, casually lifted her left foot, looked at her toes painted in rose red, and said lazily, “Before nightfall, send off the remaining three internet celebrities on the death list. Six a day, for three consecutive days. I don’t believe this wind won’t pick up.”
The woman replied, “Yes.”
“Also, closely monitor that little guy’s movements.”
Jiao Yin continued, “Find any trending topics related to him and have our controlled streamers post them online to fan the flames again. Only then might Li Wujiang be forced to resign. Only when the host of the 209 original virus is forced to resign and leave Sijiu will our people dare to develop the market there.”
The woman replied, “Received.”
“Find someone to contact that Dai Paipai. It’s about time this pawn made a move.”
As Jiao Yin issued a new order, she immediately added, “Don’t move her yet. After all, that cowardly little guy is currently infatuated with Chu Yazhi, and also with Shen Yun. He might not have the inclination to provoke Dai Paipai anytime soon.”
“Understood.”
The woman couldn’t help but ask, “Manager Jiao, is Dai Paipai truly as important to us as you value her?”
“She is one in a million, someone who can fuse with the 209 virus. And she is Li Wujiang’s son’s confidante.”
Jiao Yin paused for a moment, holding her foot with her left hand, and said softly, “Within the next year, she will reach the pinnacle of human beauty. Her scientific research value is immeasurable by money. But she must achieve something with the little guy. Only then might the fused virus undergo a qualitative change. A qualitatively changed virus could potentially compensate for the greatest flaw we are currently facing.”
She paused again.
Jiao Yin solemnly instructed, “Therefore, Dai Paipai’s safety must be guaranteed to the utmost!”
Her subordinate replied in a deep voice, “Understood!”
Jiao Yin hung up the phone.
The drowsiness that had been urging her for a nap vanished with the call.
She simply sat up, leaned against the headboard, lit a cigarette, and frowned to herself, “What should I do to force that cowardly little guy to go to the Blackwater Forest? Only there is there hope for him to survive. As long as we get him, we will have the entire world!”
Li Qianfan, of course, couldn’t hear Jiao Yin’s soliloquy.
After having just had lunch with Mr. and Mrs. Su, he received a call from the Cross Flower.
Murong Mingyuan said on the phone that the three celebrity streamers, including Xiao Niu Says, had all died in accidents over an hour ago.
This little filly was becoming more capable.
She deserved a few words of praise.
Just after he finished praising her, Chu Yazhi also called, reporting the accidental deaths of Xiao Niu Says and the other two internet celebrities.
Sijiu.
Provincial Capital.
Qingyun.
Li Qianfan had established intelligence systems in these three locations.
Chu Yazhi and Murong Mingyuan, the former mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were both doing increasingly outstanding work.
On the other hand, Mo Hongti in Qingyun had shown almost no effectiveness.
This was mainly because Qingyun was located in a remote corner, and its passenger flow was far from comparable to the other two locations.
Li Qianfan actually hoped that Mo Hongti could remain so leisurely every day.
This would prove that the “base camp” was operating normally.
If she also became busy—
It would mean the situation was extremely grim.
“Three celebrity streamers eliminated? Was it the thief crying ‘stop thief,’ or was it the dark web and others who stirred up trouble?”
As Li Qianfan bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Su and drove towards Qingyun Hotel, he pondered this matter all the way.
He felt that.
If it was indeed a third party like the dark web causing trouble, the deaths of these three internet celebrities might just be the beginning.
Li Qianfan didn’t feel much sympathy for their deaths.
Those who relied on standing on the moral high ground to criticize others for profit deserved to die!
“Go ahead, stir it up. Only then can Sister Wujiang’s resignation be accelerated. Then she can obediently stay home and watch the children.”
Li Qianfan sneered dismissively and took the elevator to the eighth floor of the Qingyun Hotel.
Knock, knock.
As Li Qianfan lightly knocked on the door of room 803, he also looked around, as if he were a thief.
The door opened.
Shen Yun, who had just showered and was wearing a black bathrobe, smiled broadly.
In a very, very low voice, “Brother, you’re here.”
“Yes, brother is here!”
As soon as Li Qianfan entered the room, he smelled the subtle fragrance emanating from Shen Chongchong.
Something that had been activated last night went crazy instantly.
He could no longer control himself, reached out, bent down, and scooped Shen Yun into his arms.
Shen Yun was startled—
Before she could react, Li Qianfan lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.
Shen Chongchong, who was about to struggle, immediately felt dizzy and turned into soft mud.
After a full three minutes.
Li Qianfan raised his head and smiled charmingly, “Chongchong, let your brother cherish you properly.”
Cherish her properly for what?
Li Qianfan suddenly froze.
Because—
There was still someone sitting on the sofa in room 803!?
——————
Li, this person, was instantly dumbfounded. Let’s see how his former mother-in-law deals with him.
