As he spoke, he pulled out a folded piece of paper and a few photos from his briefcase and carefully handed them over, his voice flattering, "Mr. Huo, this is... our entertainment reporter went through some trouble to get some of the real situation inside the Mandarin Oriental Hotel that night... Please take a look."
Huo Zhenting's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took it. His eyes quickly scanned the paper—it clearly stated that Liu Rumeng had left the hotel alone in a nanny car shortly after entering the presidential suite with four other beauties. There were two blurry photos of the scene. The names of the four beauties—including the less-than-reputable Yu Qixia—remained on the suite's service register until late.
Huo Zhenting held the record sheet in his hand, and the gloom on his face instantly dissipated. An indescribable sense of relief and joy rushed into his heart! The feeling of stepping into the abyss last night was instantly thrown out of his mind.
"Sure enough! Sure enough!" He couldn't help but exclaim, his voice filled with great relief. "I knew it! Miss Liu is such a pure and innocent person! She brought people there just to protect herself! To avoid Xiaolin Tianwang's dirty thoughts and single-minded entanglement! How smart, how reserved!"
He paced back and forth excitedly, speaking with increasing conviction, as if he had witnessed the events of the previous night. "When Xiaolin Tianwang revealed his true nature and attempted to do something inappropriate to her, those four unrespectful Miss Hong Kong contestants became his 'shield'! They offered themselves up to her, allowing Miss Liu to escape unscathed! After Miss Liu escaped, she must have seen through Xiaolin Tianwang's inner philandering and filthy nature! I'm afraid she has nothing but disgust and contempt for him!"
This "fact" he had deduced was like sweet nectar, instantly moistening his thirsty heart, which had been thwarted by his plan. Liu Rumeng remained innocent, and she even loathed Xiaolin Tianwang even more! This was simply the best news!
Filled with immense joy, Huo Zhenting turned around with high spirits and ordered Liu Mingsheng, "Director Liu! Immediately! Order me nine hundred and ninety-nine of the finest red roses! They must be gorgeous and voluptuous! After things are settled here, I'll personally visit the beach to comfort Miss Liu! And let everyone see who is truly worthy of such a beautiful woman's affection!"
Liu Mingsheng immediately smiled and said, "I understand! Mr. Huo is really loyal and affectionate! I will do it myself right away! I guarantee to pick the best and most beautiful roses!" He took out the walkie-talkie and was about to give the order.
Just then—
The door of the reception room was suddenly pushed open!
A nervous young staff member, holding a folder, practically rushed in. He ignored Huo Zhenting's presence and shouted urgently to Liu Mingsheng, "Director Liu! This is bad! The headquarters of the Landmark Group just issued an urgent notice!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you see that we have distinguished guests here?" Liu Mingsheng scolded dissatisfiedly.
The staff member panted rapidly, "They said...they said that Mr. Kobayashi Tenmo's scheduled live TV interview with our station this morning has been canceled! Cancelled!"
"Cancel?" Liu Mingsheng was stunned. "What's he up to? Is he scared? Didn't he just drive out?"
They had actually expected Kobayashi Tenmo to cancel his interview schedule, but it was so sudden that it still surprised him a little. After all, they had just heard the news that Kobayashi Tenmo's motorcade had already come out.
"No... not just canceled!" the staff member added eagerly, an expression of disbelief and shock on his face. "Hong Kong Land has informed us... no, they've ordered us to do this immediately! Immediately! Send a news truck with live broadcast capabilities and our best team of reporters to the gates of Governor's House! There's no time to lose!"
"Governor's House?!" Peter Ho and Liu Mingsheng exclaimed at the same time.
The smile on Huo Zhenting's face froze instantly and his brows furrowed.
Liu Mingsheng was even more confused and puzzled: "Why go to the Governor's House? What does Xiaolin Tianwang want to do?"
"The notice from Hong Kong Land says..." the staff member looked at the notebook in his hand, his voice filled with a hint of excitement that he himself could hardly believe, "...Mr. Xiao Lin wants to go to Governor's House in person and formally protest to Governor Sir Murray MacLehose in person! He demands that we, TVB, broadcast the entire event live!"
He took a deep breath and added, "Director, this is... this is huge news! Live broadcast of Xiao Linsheng protesting to the Governor! Hong Kong Island hasn't seen such a grand scene in over a decade!"
There was a moment of dead silence in the reception room.
Then——
"Puff! Hahaha...hahaha!" Liu Mingsheng suddenly burst into unrestrained laughter, rocking back and forth as if he had just heard the biggest joke in the world. "Oh my God! This...this Xiaolin Tianwang! I thought he could play some tricks! Turns out he's at his wit's end! He's completely out of ideas! He can only imitate those jobless scoundrels and run to the Governor's Office to hold up a sign and petition?! Hahaha!"
He turned to Huo Zhenting, his face filled with contempt and sarcasm. "Mr. Huo! Mr. Huo, look! He's scared! He's completely stunned by your tactics and the overwhelming public opinion today! He's desperate and is desperately seeking help from anyone!"
Liu Mingsheng's voice was filled with pleasure and sarcasm. "He thinks that by pulling off these street shrew tricks, inviting some reporters to take photos and videos, and making some noise, he can put pressure on the Governor's Office? That he can change the situation where he, an unscrupulous capitalist, is despised by the whole of Hong Kong? That he can get the Governor to interfere in our serious commercial blockade? Ha! How naive and stupid! It's ridiculous!"
Huo Zhenting's tense face quickly relaxed amidst Liu Mingsheng's laughter and explanation. After just a few seconds of astonishment, a greater, unprecedented surge of ecstasy and contempt overwhelmed his heart!
