Wei Yumeng was slightly stunned. Zhao Lili? The name sounded familiar.
She immediately remembered that the reporter who wrote the concluding article on the Catherine incident was Zhao Lili.
However, since she was the reporter for this matter, it wasn't strange for her to appear at the hospital.
"Li Jun said the strangest thing was hearing that reporter talking to someone in the ward, but when she opened the door, there was no one there," Feng Zhenhua said, clearly having his own ideas.
"Uncle Feng means..." Wei Yumeng found it incredible. "Did Aunt Song say what that reporter was saying?"
"What she was saying is that the situation outside has calmed down. Don't worry, you just need to wait a little longer, and everything will start anew."
Wei Yumeng was stunned. These words sounded so much like a progress report on the Catherine incident.
In Catherine's ward, saying such a thing, Wei Yumeng couldn't imagine who else that reporter might be saying these things to.
"That's all I know and all I can tell you. The rest depends on you," Feng Zhenhua said, then turned and went back into the ward.
Wei Yumeng did not go back. She already knew what was strange about the matter and perhaps needed to figure out how Catherine's suicide had happened.
Actually, when she thought about it, it wasn't difficult to understand. Catherine's various scandals were spreading online at the time. It was a hot topic, and Catherine committing suicide then didn't seem like something hard to understand.
And then, just as things had passed, she suddenly woke up, which was too coincidental.
Although it seemed like a normal event at first glance, when the whole incident was put together, it wasn't so normal.
Wei Yumeng had already formed the outline of the entire event in her mind. Catherine's suicide this time was likely her plan.
Perhaps her suicide was real at first, but later she planned to use suicide to quell the online fervor. As long as she paid a price for her actions, people online would have nothing else to talk about and would naturally calm down.
So Catherine chose a move: to court death and then be reborn.
She bribed the hospital doctors and claimed that due to her suicide, she might not wake up for an unknown period. This way, everyone would think the matter was over.
And when the rumors gradually faded, she would wake up, and no one would remember what happened then.
This way, she could escape this ordeal again. Song Lijun would naturally not stand by and watch Wei Yumeng sue Catherine, so she would have to intervene.
As long as Wei Yumeng softened her heart, Catherine would have won this round.
Thinking of this, Wei Yumeng felt that if Catherine had indeed planned this, her ideas and methods were becoming bolder each time.
However, all of this was just her guess. She needed to figure out if it was true.
She hesitated for a moment, then called Zhan Mohan and told him her thoughts.
"Mohan, I found out some things today..."
Zhan Mohan frowned after hearing Wei Yumeng's guess. If Wei Yumeng's explanation was correct, then the most important person in this matter was likely that reporter, Zhao Lili.
"Fang Xun, find out which media outlet this reporter Zhao Lili works for."
Soon, Fang Xun handed over the investigation results to Zhan Mohan. "This reporter is from Real Media and seems to be a newcomer. Besides this, I found something else."
Fang Xun flipped through the documents and showed them to Zhan Mohan. "Mr. Zhan, look, this Zhao Lili seems to be an old acquaintance of Catherine."
Zhan Mohan took the file. It indeed stated that Zhao Lili had also returned from studying abroad, and she had gone to the same country as Catherine.
This made the matter clearer. It was highly likely that Zhao Lili and Catherine were working together.
Although it was unclear when they had connected, such coincidences were too many.
It made one believe that there was a connection between them.
"It seems it's time to visit Real Media," Zhan Mohan said calmly.
Fang Xun immediately began preparing for Zhan Mohan's upcoming schedule.
Real Media was a relatively small media company. It was said that their recent coverage of Catherine had allowed them to gain some prominence in the industry.
Because they were the first media outlet to publish the news of Catherine's suicide, and the matter was a hot topic at the time, they naturally gained more attention.
The person in charge there never expected to have the opportunity to meet Zhan Mohan and appeared very respectful. "Mr. Zhan, why have you graced our humble place? You truly make our establishment shine."
Zhan Mohan had no intention of wasting time with pleasantries. "Is Zhao Lili one of your reporters?"
The person in charge nodded. "That's correct. Mr. Zhan, are you here specifically to see her?"
"Yes, have her come and see me."
Although Zhan Mohan didn't explain the reason, the person in charge dared not ask and could only comply. After all, for a small company like theirs, offending the Zhan Group would bring great misfortune.
He went to find Zhao Lili and repeatedly instructed her, "Be careful when you go in. Mr. Zhan is a very important figure. Don't offend him."
"Alright, Editor-in-Chief, I know that."
The other employees were incredibly envious that Zhao Lili had the opportunity to meet Zhan Mohan alone. They all secretly watched from the side.
Zhao Lili clearly enjoyed this attention. The more she was watched, the more arrogant and proud she appeared.
Everyone knew what kind of person Zhan Mohan was. Ordinary people had no chance of meeting him.
Yet, she, Zhao Lili, had made Zhan Mohan personally seek her out. This was truly something she could boast about for a lifetime.
Under the envious gazes of others, she finally arrived at the meeting room door.
"Mr. Zhan is already inside. You can go in," the editor-in-chief said and left.
Zhao Lili repeatedly adjusted her clothes before proudly pushing the door open.
As soon as she entered, she saw Zhan Mohan sitting opposite her, his face cold and stern. Just that one glance was enough to make her heart race and her face flush.
"You are Zhao Lili?" Zhan Mohan asked coldly.
Zhao Lili nodded, but she clearly hadn't realized she was in trouble. "Yes, Mr. Zhan. What can I do for you?"
"Do you know Catherine? What is your relationship with her?"
Hearing this, Zhao Lili was stunned. She hadn't expected Zhan Mohan to be here because of this.
