330 The Situation Erupts
Chen Zhao first placed their lunch on the table and said thoughtfully, “President Jing, are you saying that Ren Zhong deliberately planned this to make Ren Wei lose the opportunity to inherit the company for good? He used Miss He as a bait to lure Ren Wei to do his dirty work himself. After the truth is out, he will abandon Ren Wei and let him take the blame so that he can reap the benefits?”
He Miao had thought of this as well. She could not help but look at Jing Yan worriedly. “If that’s the case, we can’t just disclose what we know. Xu Ling and that reporter might be in danger.”
“Yes,” Jing Yan shook his head gently and subconsciously rubbed the ring on his other hand. “Xu Ling won’t be in danger for the time being because the person who took her away was also Ren Wei. As long as he doesn’t know that Xu Ling has already sent us the news, he shouldn’t hurt Xu Ling for the time being.”
From the information, Ren Wei had almost no sense of existence in the school, and very few people knew that he was actually the son of such a big family. The teachers and classmates all commented that he was meek, quiet, and never got into a dispute with others.
It was not easy to develop such a personality in that kind of family, which meant that Ren Wei and his mother did not have a good life at home. According to Jing Yan’s understanding, Ren Zhong inherited the family business after his father’s death. His stepmother wanted to compete with him for the inheritance, but she was kept in the main villa by him. Even the son she gave birth to was not well-liked in the Ren family.
The relationship between Ren Zhong and Ren Wei was like fire and water. The reason why the two brothers were able to cooperate this time was probably because Ren Zhong had made some unrealistic promise to gain Ren Wei’s trust.
Since the matter was already so clear, Jing Yan would not sit still and wait for death. Since Ren Zhong had laid out such a chess game and waited for him to make a choice, he would let Ren Zhong understand that a truly powerful person would not be easily shackled by others. As long as he wanted something, there was nothing he could not get.
He Miao furrowed her brows and continued her analysis, “So, in order to achieve his goal and get rid of Ren Wei completely, Ren Zhong put on such a show. He made use of He Wei and me to make Ren Wei commit a big mistake. Since that’s the case, the opportunity for the incident to blow up should be in Ren Zhong’s hands. What reason could it be?”
“The reporter’s statement.” Jing Yan gave her a definite answer.
It was very likely that Xu Ling was in Ren Wei’s hands, but the same could not be said for the reporter. In order to help He Wei, Ren Zhong might use all sorts of methods to force the reporter to slander He Miao. However coincidentally, this was all arranged by Jing Yan, which was why He Miao felt that it was a little tricky.
However, Jing Yan was still calm and composed. He put a piece of chicken into her bowl and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. Don’t forget, we still have their weak point in our hands.”
He Miao was only surprised for a moment before she understood. She heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s all thanks to Xu Ling who took the risk and obtained the most critical evidence. Otherwise, we would still be in a passive position and could only be manipulated by Ren Zhong.”
“That’s why we can’t waste such a good opportunity.” Jing Yan personally heated a glass of milk for her and placed it in front of her. “Eat first. We have a good show to put on later.”
On the internet, a piece of breaking news was quickly released. It was a video of a reporter interviewing He Wei alone last night.
In front of the camera, the reporter deliberately led He Wei to say bad things about He Miao. Then, a man in a hoodie barged in and the camera was knocked to the ground. An ear-piercing scream suddenly rang out in the dark image. It was obvious that He Wei had been attacked at this time.
The appearance of this video further increased the netizens’ suspicion of He Miao. After all, everyone had seen how aggressive she had been when she had appeared. They all guessed that the man in the hoodie was most likely a loyal fan of He Miao, or that he knew He Miao.
However, speculations were just speculations. There were still some people online who chose to believe He Miao. It was only when He Wei’s assistant came forward to speak up that those who had sworn to believe He Miao wavered.
The assistant used her official account to post a post about her encounter backstage. She was originally instructed by He Wei to retrieve the things she left at the press conference, but who knew she would meet the man in the hoodie halfway.
The other party repeatedly forced her to tell him the location of He Wei’s lounge and even said that he would help her end He Wei’s words and not meddle in other people’s business. Then, he knocked her out and threw her in another empty room backstage. When she woke up, it was already morning.
The young assistant pitifully stated on the internet that everything she said was the truth and that she was willing to accept the police’s investigation.
Once this incident was exposed, those who had been speaking up for He Miao all shut their mouths. Now, all the arrows were pointed at He Miao at the same time. No matter how much they believed in He Miao’s character in their hearts, at this time, all their refutations were pale and powerless.
