After determining the general direction, the three of them discussed some details before adjourning the meeting.
Mian Lao Si went about his own investigation. Li Xi and Su Yu discussed their meeting with Song Beibei and then went home.
Li Xi returned to the villa, threw her bag, and threw herself onto the sofa. Every day was too tiring.
When I used to read gossip, I was simply thrilled, and I particularly enjoyed watching the twists and turns, and the relentless pursuit of truth. But when it came time to manage the market myself, I realized how exhausting it is to effectively leverage public opinion.
I don’t know what the public relations departments of those entertainment companies have been fed to be able to manipulate public opinion so well.
"Hmm~" Feeling tired and annoyed, Li Xi simply buried her face in the pillow and rubbed it left and right.
"What are you doing?" Li Xi was rubbing her hands vigorously when a voice suddenly came from the side. She was so scared that she jumped up.
Li Xi looked towards the source of the sound. It was Luo Jingxuan, standing there.
"Is your leg okay?"
Luo Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I can go now."
"Oh." Li Xi curled herself up, took the pillow, and sat back on the sofa. She continued to bury her head in the pillow and spoke in a muffled voice, "I'm worried."
Luo Jingxuan had only asked casually. After all, the woman's actions were rather indecent. He had been trying to strike up a conversation with her to remind her to be more presentable. But she hadn't corrected her posture, and had become even more casual. Luo Jingxuan wanted to frown, but seeing her bitter and resentful expression, he couldn't bear it.
He sighed slightly and sat down on the sofa next to Li Xi. "What happened?"
Li Xi looked up at him, then buried her head in the pillow again, "Yes, there is something."
Dealing with Zhao Haoran's situation had always required Luo Jingxuan's help, and Li Xi had intended to tell him before the plan began. However, not today. Li Xi had just obtained the evidence, and many things hadn't been sorted out yet. Telling him now might not convince him.
Luo Jingxuan waited for a long time, but nothing happened. He looked at Li Xi suspiciously, who was acting like an ostrich, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The tone was very flat, not like a question at all, but Li Xi inexplicably heard a hint of impatience.
Well, I'll have to say it sooner or later anyway, so I might as well take advantage of my pitiful state now and sell my misery.
"It's what I told you last time about hiring a private detective to investigate the scumbag." Li Xi raised her head from the pillow, rested her chin on the pillow, tilted her head to look at Luo Jingxuan with a hurt expression.
"Why, it wasn't investigated."
"The investigation has revealed the truth. That scumbag is from the Zhao family, his name is Zhao Haoran." Speaking of Zhao Haoran, Li Xi's strength returned. She threw the pillow away, put her hands on her hips, and said, "I'm telling you, calling him a scumbag is an insult to the word scumbag. Cheating on a little girl is nothing compared to his deeds. He's done everything from sleeping with fans to seducing, raping, and drugging and raping them. Not only does he harm others himself, he also drags others into it. He's harmed so many girls."
Li Xi became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She wished the man surnamed Zhao would stand in front of her and spit at him to death.
Luo Jingxuan was quite calm after hearing this. Few of the young men from wealthy families were clean, but many were extravagant. There were also many with decadent private lives like Zhao Haoran.
"So? How are you going to deal with him?" Luo Jingxuan unbuttoned his sleeves slowly, as if he was listening to a report from his subordinates.
Li Xi looked at his graceful movements, then at his impossibly handsome face. She paused to swallow, and lowered her hands from her hips to rest in front of her stomach. Well, an icy beauty isn't something mortals like me can dream of.
"I'm planning to get him." Li Xi carefully looked at Luo Jingxuan's face and said flatteringly, "Maybe I need your help."
"Oh?" After unbuttoning his cuffs, Luo Jingxuan loosened his tie and leaned back on the sofa. In a few seconds, he transformed from an abstinent handsome man into a lazy handsome guy. "Need my help?"
Li Xi swallowed his saliva helplessly. Who could resist the temptation of a beautiful woman!
"I need it. If I want to make sure Zhao Haoran never makes a comeback, the Zhao family behind him can't survive. Otherwise, not to mention killing him, even my own safety will be in jeopardy."
"Well, continue." Luo Jingxuan put his hand on the armrest of the sofa, tapping it regularly with his index finger. His eyes were fixed on Li Xi, and he was obviously very interested in Li Xi's plan.
His gaze was so powerful that Li Xi didn't dare to meet his gaze, so she stared at Luo Jingxuan's lips. Then, while she was lost in thought, she described her three-step plan.
After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but look up at Luo Jingxuan and asked cautiously, "How do you feel?" Although Li Xi was very confident in her plan, facing a boss-level figure, she felt like she was giving a work report and was a little nervous.
"That's right. Just focus on the Zhao family. How can you be sure they've committed any illegal acts? And to the extent that the relevant authorities will intervene and investigate?"
"I guessed based on Mian Lao Si's investigation. Oh, Mian Lao Si is the private detective I mentioned earlier. A somewhat unconventional young man. He has a bit of a bad temper, but his professional skills are still very strong."
"Guess what?" As someone who was in the business world, Luo Jingxuan knew a few things about the Zhao family's secrets. They were mostly minor incidents, though, and hadn't escalated to the point of needing an investigation.
"Tax evasion definitely occurred, but the severity has not yet been investigated. Also, someone died in the project in the south of the city that they were responsible for." Li Xi felt a little unsure when she said this.
The Zhao family's Chengnan project did result in a fatality. The cause was the use of inferior materials, leading to the collapse of a building mid-construction. The victim's family launched a protest, which was also exposed online, but the Zhao family ultimately used their power to suppress the situation.
