403: The King's Counterattack

The next day, early morning.

The sky had just begun to lighten, and the phone on the desk was already ringing.

Su Yue sat up groggily from the bed, subconsciously glancing at the desk: "Who is it, calling so early?"

He didn't think President Wang would apologize to him this early; it was highly likely something was happening at the company.

Initially, he didn't plan to answer the call, but the phone kept ringing without stopping.

Helplessly, Su Yue went to the desk, picked up his phone, and took a look.

The call was from President Lan. Su Yue shook his head to clear it up a bit.

He found a place to sit down, put the phone on speaker, and said, "President Lan, calling so early?"

Usually, President Lan would tease him a little.

But this time, President Lan seemed to be holding back great anger, with no intention of teasing at all: "Come to the company."

Before Su Yue could answer, she had already hung up.

Su Yue looked at the number on his phone, completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

However, President Lan was not the type to joke around. If she told him to come to the company, a major incident had most likely occurred.

Having no other choice, he spent ten minutes on his personal hygiene and immediately drove to the company.

Since it wasn't working hours yet, only a few people were at their workstations in the company.

President Lan watched Su Yue enter her office, pointed to the seat opposite, and said, "Sit down, look at this."

With that said, she threw a newspaper in front of Su Yue, as if wanting him to look at its contents.

Su Yue took the newspaper with both hands, squinting at the content, his brows furrowing slightly.

The content of the newspaper was very clear. Many people pointed out that Yuantu Investment was forcing others to give up their shares.

When President Lan saw Su Yue finish reading the newspaper, she placed her phone in front of him: "Now look at this."

Su Yue took the phone and saw that the news inside was the same.

Su Yue took a deep breath: "Someone must be playing tricks behind the scenes. Do they have evidence?"

Although the news in the newspaper looked real, there wasn't a single convincing sentence throughout the entire article.

From beginning to end, that person used the phrase 'it is said' to cover it up, as if someone had reported it to them.

When President Lan heard Su Yue find the loophole in the newspaper, she seemed to understand something: "Could it be Huasheng Group?"

Currently, the only person who could be their opponent was Huasheng Group.

Moreover, Su Yue had just met President Wang yesterday, so it was normal for him to retaliate.

Su Yue pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "There is that possibility. We need to investigate."

Without substantial evidence, they could not write such news.

Otherwise, they would be no different from those people and could also fall into that trap themselves.

In just a few seconds, Su Yue had a plan and placed the phone and newspaper aside.

"Contact the reporters we know as soon as possible and ask them to come to our company. You can explain the newspaper information to them."

If people outside saw no refuting information online, it was very likely they would assume they had admitted it.

From Su Yue's perspective, they definitely could not admit to having done these things.

President Lan looked at him outlining the plan, as if she had found her pillar, and quickly agreed: "I'll listen to you."

As the controller of Far View (Yuantu) Company, his stepping forward to explain was the only way to possibly shut those people up.

Then, Su Yue pointed to the door: "I need to go out and handle some matters during the day. I'll see who wrote about us like this."

President Lan nodded slightly: "The newspaper matter is entirely your responsibility. If you need our help, call me."

Not only did the newspaper have the publisher's name, but the news on the phone also had the publisher's name.

As long as he found that publisher, he believed the people inside would have to provide an answer no matter what.

Just as Su Yue was leaving Yuantu Investment, the phone in his pocket rang again.

Su Yue unconsciously took out his phone again and glanced at the number: "Liu Long? Why is he calling me?"

Liu Long was mainly responsible for the hotel sector, and Su Yue didn't think there should be any major incidents in the hotel industry.

He casually answered the call: "General Manager Liu, calling me so early, what's the matter?"

Liu Long's voice sounded very urgent: "Do you have time? Come over here, it's too chaotic here."

Perhaps because he couldn't describe how chaotic it was in words, he simply filmed a video and sent it over.

At this moment, the front desks of Huashi Hotel and Muxin Hotel were firmly occupied by guests, who seemed to want to cancel their membership cards.

And their only reason for canceling was that Yuantu Investment was unethical and stole other people's shares.

Upon learning that the two hotels were facing the same issue, Su Yue pondered for a moment: "Stall them for now. President Lan has a press conference this morning."

Currently, Yuantu Investment had not stepped forward to defend itself, causing many people to be swayed.

At this point, Su Yue felt there was no reason for the guests at the hotels to be united, and it was very likely there was a leader among them.

Just then, President Wang's call came through to Su Yue's phone.

Su Yue answered the call with a cold expression: "President Wang, I don't know what you mean by this? You did all this, didn't you?"

He deliberately didn't mention what happened at Yuantu Investment, hoping President Wang would admit it voluntarily.

Who knew that President Wang was also a cunning old fox and burst into laughter: "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

Although he kept pretending not to understand, his hearty laughter still made Su Yue very uncomfortable.

Su Yue glanced at the number on his phone and immediately hung up.

He didn't think there was any point in continuing the call with President Wang, as President Wang had only called this time to watch the show.

In just over ten minutes, Su Yue drove past Liu Ran's security company.

Now, many people were at the entrance, seemingly wanting to return their security personnel.

If Yuantu Investment didn't handle this well this time, many companies that had received investment would likely be affected.

By then, these companies would be like ticking time bombs, capable of exploding at any moment and killing them.

Unconsciously, Su Yue drove to the entrance of Muxin Hotel, his face filled with worry, his mind deep in thought.

Only by finding the person behind it would it be possible to find a solution.

Suddenly, a figure caught his attention.

Everyone else had gone to the entrance of Muxin Hotel, but only he was standing far away taking pictures with a camera.

Without asking, his identity was most likely that of a reporter.

Su Yue got out of the car, stood next to that person, and sneered: "How much have you taken?"

The man heard Su Yue's voice and subconsciously tried to pull his camera back.

However, he was completely unable to do so, as the camera was already in Su Yue's hand.

The camera had no password lock. Su Yue constantly flipped through the photos taken during this period and found that he had been here for the past half month.

No matter who the hotel Manager met, he photographed all of them.

Su Yue immediately took out the camera's memory card and put it in his pocket: "I don't have that much patience, speak up."

The evidence was already in his pocket, meaning Su Yue could send the person to the authorities at any time.

The man looked at Su Yue's gaze fixed on him, his face full of bitterness: "Can you forgive me this once? I won't take pictures anymore."

Perhaps because he felt he hadn't offered anything, Su Yue definitely wouldn't pay attention to him.

He took out a lot of money from his clothes and placed it in front of Su Yue: "This is all my pay."

He had initially guessed there was someone behind the man, but he never expected him to speak up voluntarily.

Since that was the case, Su Yue had even less reason to let him off and sneered: "You only have one way to leave, tell me this."

Saying this, he pointed at the money in the man's hand, as if wanting him to reveal the person behind him.

How could the man not know what Su Yue wanted to know? His face was full of difficulty: "If I say it, I won't be able to work."

In his opinion, the person behind him had immense power.

As long as he dared to name that person, he would have to say goodbye to this industry forever.

Su Yue heard the man was more afraid of that person than of himself and shrugged indifferently: "Then don't go."

He took out his phone, as if wanting to call the authorities.

When the man saw Su Yue's actions, he quickly rushed to Su Yue: "Wait, we can negotiate."

Perhaps because he knew Su Yue wouldn't budge, his face was full of helplessness: "Wang Xinran gave me the money."

He initially thought that if he said the name, Su Yue wouldn't know who that person was.

However, he hadn't expected that Su Yue was coincidentally investigating Wang Xinran recently, and this was like she had delivered herself to him.

The man fully confessed about Wang Xinran giving him money, his face full of ingratiating smiles: "See, can I go now?"

Su Yue shook his head: "Sit in the car with me. Which newspaper are you from?"

Since he could stay here and take pictures, he believed he must know the person who wrote the articles.

The man could only blame himself for being discovered and slapped his own face hard: "Why did I come here so early?"

Su Yue sat in the car indifferently, watching the man lose his temper, with no intention of interrupting him.

As long as he still wanted to work in this industry, there was only one thing he could do, and that was to tell the truth.

In just five minutes, the man couldn't withstand Su Yue's interrogation anymore: "I'm from Jiangya Newspaper."

Su Yue searched for the location of the newspaper on his phone and immediately drove towards Jiangya Newspaper.

Meanwhile, he called President Lan and told her everything about Jiangya Newspaper doing these things.

President Lan was holding a press conference at that moment, so she could immediately announce the situation of Jiangya Newspaper providing false evidence.

Su Yue initially thought that Jiangya Newspaper's location would be in some high-end office building, but he never expected it to be in a dilapidated residential area.

The man pointed to the shabby residential area ahead: "It's in there. Can you go by yourself? Don't take me?"

In his eyes, if he followed behind, the people inside would have no reason to spare him.

However, Su Yue had already considered him a witness and shook his head coldly: "Sorry, no excuses. Come with me."

As long as he was willing to follow him, Su Yue could place the responsibility on the newspaper.

But if he wasn't willing to follow, Su Yue would have to place all the responsibility on him.

By then, how much money the man would need to compensate would no longer be a problem he should consider.

When the man saw that Su Yue had decided on him, he followed behind with a bitter face, and the two of them arrived at Jiangya Newspaper.

The registered location of Jiangya Newspaper was just a small apartment, and no one knew if there were any proper editors inside.

Su Yue pulled the man in front of him: "Tell the people inside to open the door. Cooperate with me as much as possible, and I guarantee you'll be fine."

Since he had done so many things against his conscience, how could he possibly betray Su Yue?

In just a few seconds, the people inside opened the door and immediately saw Su Yue hiding behind.

However, it was already too late for them to close the door, allowing Su Yue to enter.

Su Yue glanced at the few of them, a smile on his face: "So eager to close the door, you know me."

The few people exchanged glances, initially wanting to deny it.

Who knew they noticed the man's eyes were a bit off and immediately knew they had been betrayed.

Having no other choice, the leading editor stood up: "May I ask what brings you here to find us?"

In his opinion, they didn't have enough evidence and shouldn't be able to defeat them.

However, they hadn't expected that Su Yue had no intention of actively attacking them from beginning to end.

Su Yue placed his phone in front of them: "This is our announcement letter from Yuantu Investment, and we also have a lawyer's letter."

If their actions hadn't affected Yuantu Investment, Su Yue probably wouldn't have bothered them.

However, the news written by Jiangya Newspaper severely affected Su Yue, leaving them with no way out.

Moreover, even if they took the matter to higher authorities, the decision would likely still be based on who wrote it first and who could produce evidence first.

Because the content of the news was something Su Yue had never done, he didn't believe these people could provide evidence.

When they heard that Su Yue had them cornered, their faces turned ugly: "How did you manage to find us?"

Their location was fake, and the information online was almost all false. They simply didn't believe anyone could find him.

No one expected that Su Yue had actually found a reporter and had him lead the way to their headquarters.

This time, Su Yue had no intention of letting them off and sneered: "Let's see how you handle this now."
