Free Web NovelChapter 1146: Chapter 1146: A Bunch of Bastards in One Nest
Mr. Ji’s words sounded like a deafening thunder to Huang Cuihua, making her whole head buzz.
"No, it can’t be as serious as you said, right? That’s illegal," Huang Cuihua said.
"Ha, you still know it’s illegal? When you were slandering Jiang Pan Die, did you ever consider whether it was illegal? Her fan base is huge, I’m sure I don’t need to elaborate on that. Ha, now you are somewhat of a celebrity, too. Walk down the street, and people will recognize you as a rat crossing the street." Jee Guan said with a sneer.
The more Huang Cuihua listened, the more panicked she became. She had seen similar things on the internet, like when a girl said during an interview that ’players of DNF are dead fat guys,’ she was outed, and the outcome was tragic.
"Mr. Ji, you’ve got to help me out here..." Huang Cuihua said.
"Help? I’ve already helped you, put your face on the article’s border. Now I’m also like a clay Buddha crossing a river, unable to help myself, so you just wait for death!"
...
Jee Guan and the entire Siyun management didn’t misjudge, Jiang Pan Die and Heyue weren’t easy to deal with.
That afternoon, Heyue went to court to sue Siyun Company and Ms. Huang Cuihua for defamation and slander, causing Heyue Company to lose millions. A legal battle was about to unfold, and Huang Cuihua and Mr. Ji were definitely not going to escape.
Lin Tian didn’t pay much attention to the matter; he only later heard that Siyun had to pay two hundred thousand, and Jee Guan and Huang Cuihua were deemed primarily responsible, sentenced to two years.
And there was another ridiculous thing: Jee Guan, as a plaintiff, also sued Huang Cuihua for extortion, adding two more years to her sentence.
They brought it upon themselves; no one pitied them. In fact, the internet was full of applause.
As for Siyun, the few achievements they struggled to obtain in recent years were all lost due to this rumor, their popularity plummeted, reputation declined, they’re back to square one.
...
Beep beep.
Lin Tian’s phone vibrated twice, pulling it out to see the caller ID: LuuYong.
Lin Tian quickly remembered that this was the little talent scout he had recruited next to Wang Sicong.
In fact, whether it was the Xu Family or Black Gold, the intelligence network was very vast, and this little guy was hardly needed, but Lin Tian believed this fellow had potential, perhaps he could become Wang Sicong’s close associate.
"Hey, what’s up?" Lin Tian asked.
"Wang Sicong is back; he returned this morning. Counting all the time, he was gone for about ten days." LuuYong said, without concealing the loudness of his voice, clearly calling from a private place.
"I already knew that, so this information doesn’t count for money." Lin Tian said with a light smile.
"You... how can you be like this?" LuuYong was somewhat angry.
Lin Tian retorted, "Why can’t I be like this? It’s my money; I get to decide how it’s spent. If you want to trade information for money with me, you’d better do it earlier, or it won’t count."
"..." LuuYong wanted to curse but, thinking about this guy’s combat power and the backing behind him, swallowed his words; he didn’t want to be unable to make it in Kanyue City.
"Any other news?" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"He came back different from before. Before, he was just a wealthy loser, now I don’t know what he experienced, reeking of bloodlust, with an actual scent of blood around him; I don’t dare to meet his eyes."
"I knew about this already; anything else?"
LuuYong took a deep breath; earning money this way proved difficult.
"He’s currently chatting with the girl from last time and a really strange old man in the office. Even the secretary can’t get in, not sure what they’re talking about." LuuYong said.
"A really strange old man?" Lin Tian’s mind began to recall, none of the Wang Family’s old men looked strange.
"Yeah, the old man has a sallow complexion, his hands appear weak, and he’s so thin he’s just skin and bones, like... like a living skeleton." LuuYong said.
After hearing, Lin Tian heavily frowned, his mind involuntarily conjuring up the image of Xu Dongxu’s mentor, Kun Yun. That old man researched bizarre forbidden techniques and formulas daily, his emaciated appearance was normal.
"Does the old man have no hair? Is his speech raspy?"
"Yes, exactly, I’ve heard him speak - it’s very unpleasant." LuuYong replied, recalling the old man’s voice made his teeth ache.
"Hmm, I know who that is; this is good information. If you can overhear what they’re talking about, I can give you an extra payment, the amount depending on the importance of the information, how about it?" Lin Tian chuckled and asked.
"This..." LuuYong’s eyes darted around quickly, finally gritting his teeth and saying, "Okay! I’ll try to eavesdrop."
"Eavesdrop? Forget it, you better be honest. I meant for you to openly listen, trying to eavesdrop outside will definitely get you caught, then you’d be exposed." Lin Tian said.
"Huh? Not necessarily, right?" LuuYong asked.
"Ha, if you don’t believe me, go ahead and try. Do you think that girl and the old man are ordinary people? You think your little tricks can fool them? A word of advice: be careful around them, or you’ll be the one regretting it."
LuuYong was instantly drenched in cold sweat, reflecting on the possibility that if he really eavesdropped and Wang Sicong’s methods were employed against him, even if he didn’t die, he’d be skinned alive.
"All right, that’s it for now, let me know if you find anything out." After saying this, Lin Tian hung up the phone.
LuuYong stared blankly ahead, contemplating for a while, then decided to visit the black market to buy a pinhead surveillance device, placing it in Wang Sicong’s office, maybe even plant a listening device on his phone - that would be perfect.
...
After hanging up, Lin Tian leaned his head on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze. Wang Sicong, Wang Sijing, and Kun Yun - these three bastards gathering together was certainly not a good sign; what exactly were they up to? freёweɓnovel.com
Lin Tian remained somewhat anxious.
"What are you thinking about?" Liou Qingcheng walked behind the sofa, placing her tender hands on Lin Tian’s shoulders, gently massaging him, smiling, "Usually you massage me, today I’m in a good mood, so I’ll let you enjoy it a bit."
After hearing this, Lin Tian’s heart warmed up, feeling as if all shadows were dispelled.
"It’s the weekend today, shall we go out? I’ve just asked Shishi and Ruyan; there’s a new horse ranch that opened in the east of the city. We want to go horseback riding, and there’s archery too." Liou Qingcheng said, stretching her arms forward to hug Lin Tian’s neck, acting coquettish, "Come with us~"
If it hadn’t been for his recent call with LuuYong, Lin Tian would have agreed without hesitation, but after the call, he felt it was not the right time to go out.
