17: Ling's counterattack

The next day.

A sudden shift occurred in Donghai's public opinion battlefield.

Amidst the negative public sentiment and the crowd of onlookers, Ling Group joined forces with several of Donghai's most influential media outlets to simultaneously release a three-year strategic planning document titled "Ling Group: Rebirth from the Ashes, Empowering the Future."

Interestingly, this planning document was not a simple piece of writing; it was the future Hu Yourong had carefully considered for Ling Corporation.

She had already begun to think about Ling Corporation's future from the perspective of a leader, and her methods of handling matters bore a certain resemblance to Ling Xian's.

There was even a sense that they came from the same school of thought.

This was likely because Ling Xian had privately taught Hu Yourong a great deal of business knowledge... Meanwhile...

Inside the Black Snake Gang, a group of police officers were perplexed as they looked at Black Snake, who had died without any visible injuries.

Normally, the victim scenes these officers encountered were always gruesome and unbearable to look at.

But this time was too unusual.

Black Snake and those two bunny girls seemed to have died out of thin air.

“Captain Yue, the forensic doctor just finished the examination. None of the three were poisoned. However, the bodies of the two women sustained some bruises, but these injuries weren't enough to cause death.

In other words, the cause of death is currently unknown.”

A young police officer in front of her was also shocked by these analysis results.

They had seen many cases, but this kind of special case was very tricky.

The person called Captain Yue was a Beautiful Police Officer.

She was Yue Cailan, the eldest daughter of the Yue Family, one of the three major families in Donghai.

As a Beautiful Police Officer, her figure could be described as reaching an exaggerated level.

The uniform accentuated her perfectly curved figure, leaving nothing to the imagination.

Especially the two peaks on her chest; her clothes could barely contain them.

By visual estimation, they were likely an E-cup.

As the eldest daughter of the Yue Family, she should have been enjoying a life of wealth and luxury.

But she refused, wanting instead to be a police officer serving the people.

Moreover, she had loved martial arts since childhood and had her own pursuits on the path of martial arts.

This resulted in her being in her twenties, with exquisite features and the status of the Yue Family's eldest daughter—she should have had countless suitors.

But all those suitors were driven to collapse by her martial prowess.

In Donghai, she was known as the Little Female Demon of Donghai.

In the original plot, even Lin Feng had been given the cold shoulder when he tried to hit on this Beautiful Police Officer.

Yue Cailan's brow furrowed tightly, but soon relaxed.

“Hand the collected evidence to me. We don't need to handle this this time.”

Yue Cailan was right.

Based on the scene, she guessed it might involve special groups like martial artists or Sorcerers.

According to the collected evidence, Yue Cailan leaned more towards a Sorcerer.

How could a martial artist cause death out of thin air?

Crimes involving special groups like martial artists and Sorcerers were handled by the Martial Arts Association.

Of course, there was another reason Yue Cailan knew in her heart.

That was, for a wicked force like Black Snake that ignored the law, she preferred for this matter to just end here.

Yue Cailan didn't say much to her subordinates.

She only knew about organizations like the Martial Arts Association because she was the eldest daughter of the Yue Family.

It was normal for these ordinary officers not to know.

Sure enough, not long after Yue Cailan finished speaking,

Two men and one woman walked over.

Just as the officers were about to stop them, the other party pulled out a special identification card from their pocket.

“You can leave this place to us,” one of them said to Yue Cailan.

Clearly, he understood that Yue Cailan knew which organization they belonged to.

After all, the Yue Family was the only one among the three major families in Donghai that was fundamentally based on martial arts.

There were rumors that the Yue Family had a Half-step Grandmaster who had not yet passed away.

The influence of a Half-step Grandmaster was among the best in all of Donghai.

Below the level of a Grandmaster, who would dare provoke the Yue Family?

Even the Donghai Martial Arts Association would show them some respect.

“Fine, I'll leave this to you then,” Yue Cailan nodded in response.

She conveniently handed the collected materials in her hand to the other party.

After speaking, she gestured to the officers behind her, “Let's go.”

“Captain Yue, who are they? So impressive!” a young officer asked curiously.

He was a new officer this year and would proactively ask about anything he was curious about.

“Curiosity killed the cat.

Their rank is similar to ours, but their case handling doesn't overlap with ours,” Yue Cailan reminded him, puffing out her chest.

“Captain Yue, do you think Dragon Country really has something like a Dragon Group?”

“Why do you talk so much?

Them? They're not worthy yet. Just treat them as our colleagues,” Yue Cailan landed a heavy punch on the new officer's head.

Instantly, the new officer felt his head spinning and was no longer curious.

Lin Feng also received the news quickly.

Although he felt a bit uncomfortable, he didn't take it too seriously.

Black Snake was someone he had just subdued, and he was quite useful to him.

But he wasn't essential.

After all, the channels had already been opened; as long as the people working in the Black Snake Gang were fine, it would be okay.

“Mr. Zhang, what's the situation with Ling Corporation's public opinion?” Lin Feng had a bad premonition, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

“Not great. Ling Corporation has started to counterattack. It probably won't be long before they resolve the current situation,” Zhang Ming said, lighting a cigarette with a lighter and taking a deep drag.

He had long guessed that Ling Corporation would counterattack, but this time their counterattack was different from usual.

It seemed more like it was planned by that new Chairman, Ling Xian.

Suddenly, his phone received a message.

When he opened the message, Zhang Ming only saw a piece of news that made him furious.

When he realized it was a young girl still in university, Zhang Ming's heart felt melancholy and complicated.

Ling Corporation actually looked down on him so much now that they would use a university girl to deal with him.

“Good, very good. Ling Corporation, you look down on me that much, do you?” Zhang Ming crushed the cigarette butt, his heart becoming inadvertently careless.

“What's wrong, Mr. Zhang?” Lin Feng asked curiously.

Zhang Ming directly handed the message on his phone to Lin Feng to see.

When he saw the picture of Hu Yourong, Lin Feng didn't feel amazed by her appearance.

In the picture, Hu Yourong was wearing professional attire, but because it didn't fit well, both her figure and her face felt a bit off.

The current Hu Yourong had not yet learned how to dress up and maintain herself.

But in his heart, there was always a sense of something missing.

It was as if this woman should have been a fortuitous opportunity belonging to him.

“Ling Corporation actually let a little girl deal with us. Don't you think this is a humongous insult?” Zhang Ming angrily pounded his thigh.

“That's right, Mr. Zhang. This Ling Corporation completely disregards you.

Deal with them as much as you like; use any of the resources in my hands.

Tonight, I still have matters to handle.

I'll leave the public opinion to you, Mr. Zhang.”

“No problem.” Zhang Ming was very confident he could make that little girl on the other side collapse.

At this moment, Zhang Ming completely forgot his initial caution.

The moment he dismissed Hu Yourong, he was destined to suffer a great loss in the near future.

And Lin Feng, because of his bold smuggling of medicinal herbs tonight, was destined to walk into a trap Ling Xian had set for him.
