Chapter 819: Turning the Tide, Counterattack! Identity Revealed (2)
In Sijiu City, making a move against LI Yuzhi would attract too much attention and alert Old Master LI.
LI Yuzhi must have discovered something significant to have returned to the country.
“Bang!”
Second Master LI’s face was grim as he pounded the coffee table with his fist. “We should have found a chance to eliminate him years ago.”
“How did he find out?” LI Yanchen’s expression turned sinister again. “We absolutely cannot let his son come back.”
Old Master LI was a traditionalist who placed great importance on bloodlines.
It had taken LI Yanchen years to earn Old Master LI’s approval. If LI Yuzhi’s son were truly found and brought back, where would that leave their branch of the family?
“I know,” Second Master LI said irritably. “I’ll handle this. You go to the company and deal with the contracts. As long as the LI Group is under your control, Old Master’s favoritism won’t matter.”
LI Yanchen nodded, left the house, and drove to the LI Group.
He had barely sat down in his office when the door burst open.
“President LI! Something’s happened!” His assistant hurried in, sounding panicked. “The public opinion has reversed!”
LI Yanchen frowned. “What’s going on?”
He had gone to great lengths against Su Yang, with numerous professionals fabricating evidence and capital pressure. How could the situation turn around?
“Su-Su Yang’s side released the original video!” The assistant wiped his sweat. “Not only that, he’s suing us!”
“The original video?” Li Yancheng’s eyes darkened. “Didn’t I tell you to clean it up?”
“We did, we swear! There shouldn’t be any copies left online,” the assistant stammered, equally baffled. “We have no idea how he got it...”
This was unbelievable!
“If you had cleaned it up properly, how could he have found the original?” LI Yanchen’s anger turned into a cold laugh. “He’s not some secret agent or hacker. How did he manage this?”
The assistant had no answer.
“What about the plagiarism issue?” LI Yanchen exhaled slowly. “He can’t escape that, can he?”
The assistant hesitated. “President-President LI, it wasn’t plagiarism. The songs were similar because they were composed by the same person.”
He wouldn’t let Su Yang continue his carefree existence.

Bai Jinxi had been confined in LI Yanchen’s villa for an entire day and night without food.
When she was finally released, she was nearly dehydrated.
It was Su Yang’s fault, not hers. What did this have to do with her?
She had warned him to be careful and avoid LI Yanchen’s wrath, but he hadn’t listened.
If he was blacklisted, it was his own fault.
At least she wouldn’t see any more news about her and Su Yang online.
Exhausted, Bai Jinxi booked a hotel room instead of going home.
After eating and resting at the hotel, she regained some strength.
She packed up and left her room. Staying in a presidential suite at a five-star hotel showed that LI Yanchen hadn’t spared any expense on her.
Bai Jinxi planned to relax with a spa treatment and then dress up to see LI Yanchen.
She took the elevator down, and as it arrived, she heard a string of English.
Having lived abroad for years, she understood it perfectly.
[Sure, no problem. Having Mr. Su Yang perform is an honor. I’ve arrived in Sijiu City; Mr. Su Yang can come over anytime.]
He gave an address, which Bai Jinxi noted was the presidential suite next to hers.
Su Yang?
Stunned, Bai Jinxi carefully scrutinized the middle-aged man’s face and her pupils contracted.
Wasn’t this the president of the agency representing Agatha Field?
This agency, capable of propelling Agatha to international stardom, held immense influence globally.
“Wait!” Bai Jinxi couldn’t hold back. “Mr. Moore, hasn’t Su Yang been blacklisted? He has a lot of scandals. How can you invite him to sing?”
The middle-aged man paused, surprised.
He didn’t answer immediately but turned to someone still in the elevator. “Miss Si, she’s asking why you want Mr. Su Yang to sing your composition.”
