Lan Qingqing had become addicted to storytelling. As she watched the rewards pour in, she began to understand what her audience craved. The more dramatic and scandalous the tales, the more excited they became. She recounted her story with Tong Le, detailing how Ke Wenjie had betrayed Tong Le, portraying Tong Le as a foolish woman and Ke Wenjie as cunning and deceitful, relying solely on women to rise in status.
She never mentioned Hua Rongxiao by name but hinted that there was a wealthier female boss backing Ke Wenjie, suggesting that Ke Wenjie was merely a pawn for this boss. Lan Qingqing refrained from revealing too much about Hua Rongxiao for fear of severe retaliation; if her livestream were suddenly shut down, it wouldn’t be surprising.
Through her storytelling, she clarified the relationships among these characters. Though she didn’t name them directly, everyone understood the sordid connections between her, Ke Wenjie, and Tong Le. Lan Qingqing didn’t overly disparage Tong Le; perhaps it was because Tong Le wasn’t her main enemy or perhaps she had developed a slight sense of conscience.
She subtly hinted at Wan Jia’s situation. Although she didn’t explicitly mention Hua Rongxiao and Wan Zhang, her series of implications made it clear to even the dullest viewers who she was referring to. In this day and age, anyone with a bit of internet savvy and an interest in gossip could grasp what she was saying.
During the livestream, Lan Qingqing received several messages from Ke Wenjie urging her to stop broadcasting immediately. But Lan Qingqing refused; the more frantic Ke Wenjie became, the more exhilarated she felt! She understood that Ke Wenjie’s intervention meant Hua Rongxiao would soon be furious. Fearing for her safety, she decided to livestream continuously for several days. She broadcasted while eating and even while sleeping; aside from taking care of personal matters, she was always live.
She candidly told her viewers that she feared being plotted against or murdered in her home, which was why she chose to livestream around the clock. If one day she suddenly went offline without warning, it would mean she had been assassinated.
Viewers had never encountered such thrilling content before—spying on a peculiar woman’s daily life for hours on end while witnessing an unprecedented two-headed monster. Moreover, Lan Qingqing had put her safety in the hands of her audience; if she were to suddenly disappear from the internet one day, it would mean she had fallen victim to an enemy’s scheme. This was far more exciting than watching a television drama!
Lan Qingqing’s livestream gained immense popularity, creating quite a stir. She continued broadcasting for two days straight, not only earning substantial money but also achieving her goal of spreading information.
Mo Kai Liang dared not intervene; he could only go along with Lan Qingqing’s whims. Naturally, Hua Rongxiao was furious upon learning this. Her people were stationed near Lan Qingqing’s residence, but unfortunately for them, Lan Qingqing was well-guarded by bodyguards from the Zong Family, leaving them with no opportunity to act.
To make matters worse, a wave of gossip erupted online regarding Wan Jia’s situation, which inevitably reflected back on Hua Rongxiao. Coupled with the recent deaths of Winston and Wan Zhang, speculation ran rampant among netizens.
Hua Rongxiao never intended to be a public figure; all she wanted was to quietly amass wealth and control things from behind the scenes as a powerful boss. However, that wish had been shattered by that wretched Lan Qingqing!
Hua Rongxiao hadn’t anticipated that Lan Qingqing would go all out; the development of events had completely exceeded her expectations.
At Zong Group.
Tong Le had intermittently watched Lan Qingqing’s livestream over the past two days. The broadcast had been effective in forcing dark conspiracies lurking in the shadows into the light for public scrutiny—this inadvertently helped her and the police.
Zong Zeyu approached Tong Le from behind and handed her a folder containing information about Zong Caishan. It detailed nearly thirty years of Zong Caishan's experiences, companies founded, partners collaborated with—all the information was included. There were also records of his previous tax evasion schemes; all she needed to do was pass it on to Hou Yi.
Tong Le turned around in surprise at how detailed it was! “I only mentioned it casually last time.”
Zong Zeyu replied, “You asked me to do this; how could I not take it seriously? Even though I don’t have a good impression of Hou Yi, since you’ve asked me to help him out, I will certainly assist—and putting this together wasn’t hard; it was compiled by my team.”
Tong Le pondered for a moment, thinking about how to trick Hou Yi.
Zong Zeyu felt a tinge of jealousy and said, "Just give him the stuff and don't chat too much. You two don't really have anything to talk about."
Tong Le replied, "Got it."
At that moment, as if summoned, Hou Yi's call came through.
Tong Le answered, and on the other end, Hou Yi spoke concisely, "Didn't you ask me to trace Hua Rongxiao's contacts? I couldn't find anything else, but I did track down who took photos of Zong Zeyu and Jin Zi Meng, as well as who spread the rumors. It was Zong Caishan. I'll send you the list of people involved shortly; you can ask Zong Zeyu how he plans to handle it."
Tong Le chuckled, "What a coincidence! Zeyu just helped me compile some information about Zong Caishan. I was about to send it to your email."
Hou Yi paused for a moment, "Zong Zeyu helped compile it?"
