Qian Lingling skillfully took the camera from the bodyguard and aimed it at Li Yue.
Li Yue looked nervously stunned and said, “President Xia…”
“When I say publicly apologize, it goes without saying that it’s you apologizing. We’ll help you contact the media to publicize it. Otherwise, would we have to trouble Auntie to arrange the media? That wouldn’t be very polite,” Xia Shutong said lightly. “Auntie Li, apologize sincerely. If you fail to meet the requirements the first time, we can do it a few more times.”
As she spoke, she lightly licked her lips with a hint of excitement in her eyes.
It was as if she was playing with a dying prey.
Li Yue lowered her head, her hands trembling uncontrollably. She already had mental problems, and now she was on the brink of an outbreak after being provoked.
Yun Jun Ying, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward.
“President Xia, I will apologize, is that okay?”

At the end, Yun Junying bowed his body and tears streamed down his face.
Xia Shutong let out a sigh in her heart but kept a calm expression on her face. She took out the contract and ink pad from her bag and placed them proudly on the coffee table.
“Sign the contract.”
Yun Jun Ying was stunned. “What is this?”
“This is a severance agreement,” Qian Lingling explained. “Mr. Yun, once you sign this agreement, Yun Feiwu will completely sever ties with the Yun family. And you are not allowed to harass her in any way.”
“Mr. Yun, we can give you one day to consider, but if you don’t sign…”
Before Qian Lingling could finish her sentence, Yun Jun Ying tightly clenched his teeth and took the pen. “I’ll sign.”
…
As soon as Xia Shutong and her group left, Li Yue trembled and tightly grasped Yun Junying’s shoulder, her eyes turning red. “I know, Xia Ruan! Xia Ruan!”
“What?” Yun Junying asked.
“I’m sure Yun Xiaoxiao, that little slut, liked Xia Ruan before!” Li Yue seemed to have discovered something and suddenly became excited. She couldn’t stop talking. “Why does President Xia personally help Yun Xiaoxiao? They must be involved! I want to tell President Xia that the person Yun Xiaoxiao liked has long been dead, and President Xia is just a substitute, hahaha…”
“What are you talking about?” Yun Jun Ying frowned. “I’ll go find some medicine for you, some medicine.”
Outside the door, Xia Shutong abruptly stopped walking after hearing the name “Xia Ruan.”
“President Xia?” Qian Lingling turned back suspiciously.
“It’s nothing,” Xia Shutong shook her head, but her eyes carried a smile. “Let’s go.”
…
On the way back, Xia Shutong briefly checked the number of the person behind her.
Unfortunately, it was an anonymous number purchased on the black market several years ago, and nothing could be found from it.
When they were at their house just now, Yun Junying mentioned that the voice on the other end of the phone was always altered and indistinguishable as male or female.
Xia Shutong also instructed someone to investigate the online water army that had been instigating trouble. They were indeed hired by a marketing company, but there are so many companies that it is impossible to trace them back to the source.
As for the media that initially released the interview video, they are notorious for unethical media in the industry. The boss is a foreign Chinese who can run away at any time. They interviewed Li Yue with a deliberate agenda, not because they had a grudge against Yun Feiwu, but purely for their own gain and to generate traffic.
The leads have been cut off like this.
Xia Shutong closed her eyes, constantly recalling the various details of this matter in her mind. Names flashed through her mind one after another, but she couldn’t find any useful information.
This incident obviously targeted Yun Feiwu and also dragged down Xinghui. So that person might also have had a conflict with Xinghui, and as for Xinghui, now there’s only Ouyang Chao, a famous artist, left.
It is uncertain whether that person took a roundabout route or specifically targeted Ouyang Chao. Of course, this is just a hypothesis.
The relationships of interests within the industry are already complex and tangled. It is extremely difficult to identify the mastermind behind this without any useful clues.
However, that person went as far as to contact her parents in order to smear Yun Feiwu. Since this attempt failed, there is a high possibility of another time.
Next time…
A cold gleam flashed in Xia Shutong’s eyes.
This time, that person left no trace because they contacted Yun Feiwu’s parents. But if there is indeed a next time, it won’t be so easy for them to get away unscathed.
After returning to the company, Yun Feiwu was still waiting alone in the conference room.
Qian Lingling went to the Public Relations Department with the camera, while Xia Shutong went straight to the conference room.
She pushed the door open.
Everyone could support me in Kofi, for every coffee an extra chapter would be released. Please don’t forget to mention the name of the novel you want to support, so that I won’t confuse it with the other novel I’m currently translating.
