Upon hearing this, the reporter's expression hardened further. He immediately raised his camera, took a picture of Li Linyuan, and said coldly.

"Li Linyuan, don't think I don't know you. You're a contracted e-sports player with YL Company, right? You're going to compete in a tournament in a month, right?"

He threatened, word by word: "I'm also a reporter for YL Company. Do you believe that one news article of mine can make you a target of everyone's hatred for the rest of your life, and you won't even be able to have a practice match!"

"Oh?" The scheming girl raised an eyebrow, her alluring phoenix eyes curving slightly. "What's your name?"

After asking the question, he seemed to think it was somewhat unnecessary, so he simply took a picture of the reporter with his phone and sent it to his secretary, specifically sending a voice message: "This person is fired. Reply to me with a voice message."

The other end quickly replied, "Okay, Mr. Koguri."

This is... the voice of CEO Wang Xi!

It really is his voice!

How could Wang Xi...? Isn't YL a branch of the overseas Li Group? Why would he call Li Linyuan "President"?

Could it be...?

The reporter looked up and was met with the man's smiling face, which was very close to hers.

Li Linyuan picked up the camera from his hand, casually looked at the photos for a while, and said, "They're pretty cool, but unfortunately you won't have the chance to publish them."

The reporter paused for a moment, his forehead instantly covered in cold sweat, and reached out to tug at Li Linyuan's sleeve: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I didn't know you were the boss. Please give me a chance, please..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Li Linyuan kicked him away: "When you were planning to slander Jinjin, why didn't you think of giving him a chance?"

"Get out of here, I don't want to see you for even a second longer."

Seeing no hope of being reinstated, the reporter, clutching her throbbing stomach, decided to throw caution to the wind: "Li Linyuan, after treating me like this, do you believe I can still publish news at another company?"

"Is that so?" Li Linyuan opened the ward door and tilted his head slightly: "Then let's see if you are more powerful, or if our Li family, which is in the top 5 of the global rich list, is more powerful."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, Li Linyuan returned and gave another instruction.

"By the way, I recorded everything that happened in the ward just now and our conversation. If anyone tries to use a segment to slander me, my lawyer will talk to them personally."

After saying that, he closed the door. His cold and gloomy gaze returned to its usual gentleness the instant he met Shangsi Jin's eyes.

He heard the boy ask, "What did you say when you went out?"

"It's nothing." Li Linyuan casually sent a message to his secretary: "[Send over some strawberry desserts]."

Then, as if nothing had happened, she turned off her phone and said in a coquettish tone, "I'll have my secretary buy you some dessert. Can I have a kiss as a reward?"

She can lie without leaving a trace, she can be charming, play e-sports, do business, and even kill by destroying one's spirit.

But why do they sometimes look silly?

While eating, Xiao Yao casually replied: "[About... falling in love and being foolish for three years?]"

… …

Yan Miao returned home, and the incident involving the video will escalated along with Dai Kun's imprisonment. The trending topic "The three Yan sisters conspired to murder" remained on the list for three whole days, becoming common knowledge.

Public pressure forced Yan Miao to stop filming her TV series and, together with Yan Sisi, went to her eldest sister Yan Zhuoya's house for help.

Yan Zhuoya rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. After listening to their detailed account of what had happened, she finally couldn't hold back and swept the cup off the table in front of her.

"Idiots, idiots, idiots!" she yelled. "How could I, Yan Zhuoya, who's been so shrewd all my life, have raised two good-for-nothings like you? Don't you know I'm currently entangled in the Dai Kun murder case? Can't I live without causing trouble every day?"

"Yan Sijin is already in the hospital! Do you think you can outdo him by playing the victim? With you all making such a scene, I can't escape either!"

Yan Zhuoya tried hard to calm her wildly beating heart: "Let's put aside Grandpa's will for now. We need to find something to stabilize public opinion, something..."

Yan Zhuoya paced around the room for over an hour before her eyes finally lit up: "I've got it!"

I saw some people say that the "white moonlight" and "mortal enemy" setting is suitable for modern dual top-tier celebrities, but I've already conceived an ancient story, so I won't change it. I guarantee it will be very exciting and thrilling.

I want to write a story about a modern-day top-tier celebrity who travels from ancient times to the present, specifically about how a straight ancient general, General Yuan, successfully turned himself gay.

There are still three more dimensions I promised before, and I remember them all. I usually just start writing them as I dig. Σ(|||▽||| )
