CHAPTER 1056: CHAPTER 1053: BETRAYED

At this moment, someone else stood up to oppose, making Bai Yuanhao the center of attention in the hall. However, Lin Tian noticed that Bai Yuze was very surprised when his father stepped up to oppose. Could it be that Bai Yuanhao’s opposition was even kept secret from his own son?

Lin Tian sensed something unusual. Bai Yuanhao was deeply scheming, having maintained silence before suddenly opposing now; what other cards did he have up his sleeve?

"Mr. Bai, do you have any other opinions?" Yun Haoyu asked.

"I believe the Xiao Family has no qualification to be elected as president, and even less qualification to remain in the Yunhua Commerce." Bai Yuanhao said seriously.

The lack of qualification to be president was already difficult for people to understand, but to even say they lack qualification to remain in the Yunhua Commerce was too incredulous. Everyone was looking at Bai Yuanhao, including people from the Shen Family, Qian Family, and Zhao Family. As people on the same boat, they didn’t know Bai Yuanhao still had something in reserve.

Yun Haoyu furrowed his brow and said, "Mr. Bai, you’d better explain clearly."

Bai Yuanhao glanced at Lin Tian and the Miss before speaking solemnly, "To say the Xiao Family is not qualified, we must first mention a person named Sun Hai, who is a shareholder of the Xiao Group. According to reliable sources, Sun Hai conducts illegal and criminal business abroad, and with someone like this within the Xiao Group, I must doubt whether the Xiao Group is clean."

"Do you guys think such a family enterprise still qualifies as president? Or has the qualification to remain in the Yunhua Commerce? Not only do they not, I feel we should immediately report this, let the investigation team enter the Xiao Group, and conduct a thorough investigation." Bai Yuanhao said coldly, with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

At this moment, the long-repressed Bai Yuanhao finally revealed his dangerous fangs, resembling a night-hunting leopard who had been dormant for a long time, suddenly launching an attack meant to tear the prey apart — and his prey was what the Bai Family had long been eyeing, the Xiao Group.

This strike caught everyone off guard, including the Miss. Except for the Miss, Lin Tian, and Xiao Manxuan, the rest didn’t know what criminal illegal activities Bai Yuanhao was referring to; only Lin Tian and the two sisters had seen that USB flash drive.

Upon hearing Bai Yuanhao’s words, Lin Tian’s first reaction was that Sun Hai was betrayed by the Bai Family. Regardless of what means the Bai Family used to get this information, they had indeed betrayed their ally, Sun Hai.

Lin Tian’s second reaction was to wonder how much evidence the Bai Family held against Sun Hai. However, regardless of how much they possessed, this could be very detrimental to the Xiao Family.

Lin Tian certainly believed that Sun Hai’s illegal activities had nothing to do with the Xiao Group. He trusted in Mrs. Xiao’s character, believing she would never engage in such shady business, so even if investigated, nothing would be found.

However, the absence of findings doesn’t mean there would be no impact on the Xiao Group. The moment the news spread about an investigation team entering the Xiao Group, it would immediately cause an uproar throughout both the commercial sector and the media.

Keep in mind, the Xiao Group has recently been too prominent; just having emerged favorably, they were now facing an incoming investigation team. Regardless of the truth, the Xiao Group’s business partners would certainly keep their distance to protect themselves.

Needless to say about the unscrupulous media and journalists, they can make the living appear dead and vice versa with just a pen. The internet is filled with a story illustrating the power of unscrupulous media journalists, likening their influence to nuclear weapons.

Tang Seng returned to the Capital just as he disembarked the plane, and a journalist asked: "What are your thoughts on prostitutes?" Tang Seng was shocked: "Are there prostitutes in the Capital?" The reporter’s article the next day was titled "Tang Seng arrives in the Capital and immediately asks about prostitutes."

The reporter then asked Tang Seng: "What is your opinion on the issue of prostitutes?" Tang Seng: "Not interested!" The reporter’s article the next day was titled "Tang Seng has high night entertainment requests, local prostitutes faced cold shoulder."

The reporter asked Tang Seng: "Do you have any thoughts on prostitutes?" Tang Seng was furious: "What prostitutes, escorts, or hostesses? I don’t know!" The reporter’s article the next day was titled "Prostitutes fail to satisfy Tang Seng, he finds fun with escorts and hostesses."

The reporter later asked Tang Seng again, but this time Tang Seng dared not speak. The reporter’s article the next day was titled "Facing prostitute issues, Tang Seng speechless."

Tang Seng was furious and told the reporter: "Writing such nonsense, I’m going to court!" The reporter the next day published an article titled "Tang Seng rages over prostitutes."

Tang Seng, in a fit of anger, took the reporter to court. The media scrambled to report, "Court to hear the Tang Seng prostitute case," causing Tang Seng to commit suicide by running into a wall.

After Tang Seng’s suicide, the media supplemented their reports with "Dying for prostitutes: The life of Tang Seng."

Thus a long-lived Tang Seng was forced to death by unscrupulous media journalists, who, even after his death, didn’t let him rest in peace, showcasing the mighty power of their pen.

Although this is just a joke circulating online, it’s conceivable that the mere entry of the investigation team into the Xiao Group could lead unscrupulous media journalists to exaggerate the situation dramatically. After all, the Xiao Group’s recent high profile attracts such attention.

Xiao Manxuan said worriedly, "Lin Tian, sister, we haven’t done anything covert; whatever Sun Hai did isn’t related to us."

Lin Tian shook his head, thinking that the Second Miss was still too naive; the world’s rights and wrongs aren’t so simple. He recounted the joke he just thought of to the little girl, who listened in surprise.

"What can we do? Bai Yuanhao precisely saw that regardless of whether the Xiao Group is involved in Sun Hai’s illegal activities, this matter would severely hit the Xiao Group," the Miss worriedly asked with her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

"Lin Tian, you must come up with a solution; we can’t let the Bai Family succeed in their scheme." Ou Mengmeng also frowned.

"Let me think..." Lin Tian replied calmly, and the two sisters didn’t dare interrupt his thoughts. The business people around them started discussing quietly.

This news came way too unexpectedly, with Bai Yuanhao timing his strike perfectly; it’s apparent that the Bai Family had been plotting for a long time, leaving the businessmen to shift into a wait-and-see mode.

"Got it!" Lin Tian suddenly exclaimed, startling the Xiao sisters and Ou Mengmeng.

"What’s the plan?" The Miss asked hurriedly.

Lin Tian glanced at the Ning Family and said, "Do you remember Uncle Ning Weiguo’s role in facilitating the cooperation between the Xiao Group and Huaxia Pharmaceutical Group?"

The Miss’s eyes lit up in realization, exclaiming joyfully: "Yes, the Xiao Group has collaborated with the military, providing the most effective healing medicine. The military certainly conducted a background check on the cooperating enterprises. If we get that investigation report, it will prove the Xiao Group’s innocence, negating the need for further inquiry by the investigation team."

"Miss is truly smart, that’s precisely what I meant. No time should be wasted; Miss should contact Mrs. Xiao immediately, as she is the chairperson of the Xiao Group and must have handled these matters. Let her transmit the investigation report as quickly as possible to shut those people up," Lin Tian reminded lightly with a smile.
