Chapter 17 Interview
Time goes back to yesterday.
In order to avoid being seen, Lin Yongkang and the driver agreed to meet at Kowloon Park in Yau Tsim Mong District. It was around two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was blazing, and it was also the working hours. Even though it was located in the center of the business district, the park was deserted.
But Lin Yongkang still didn't dare to stay in the park for too long. After discussing the murder plan, he and the driver left separately.
In fact, he should have gone to the company at this time. After the scandal was published in the newspaper, not only did Wen Jiaqi quarrel with him, but his father was also very angry and asked him to stay in the company even if he was sleeping in the future.
But it was really difficult for Lin Yongkang to calm down until this matter was resolved.
So after leaving the park, he drove aimlessly forward until he passed a run-down street with few people and saw a telephone booth on the side of the road. He then suddenly braked.
He walked into the booth and took out his wallet, but found that he had no coins, so he had to drive to a nearby store to exchange them.
After exchanging the money, Lin Yongkang drove back to the booth, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and dialed the number written on it.
The call was quickly connected, and an old voice came into his ears through the microphone: "Hello? Side seat?"
"It's me."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and soon, the old man's hidden excited voice rang again: "Is it Akang?"
Lin Yongkang endured disgust and asked, "It's me, is there anyone around you now?"
"No, I'm the only one at home."
"Okay, I agreed to what you said before."
"Really?!" The old man's voice was even more surprising, "Akang, you, I..."
Hearing her voice seemed a little touched, Lin Yongkang felt even sicker, but his tone remained calm: "But I have two requests."
"Say."
"First, you can't tell other people about this matter, and neither can that person."
"Don't worry, I haven't told anyone," the old man assured hastily, "After this difficulty is over, no matter what happens in the future, I will not look for you again." However,
Lin Yongkang did not believe what the other party said at all. He lowered his eyes to hide the darkness in his eyes and said expressionlessly: "Second, I don't have that much money now. Give me two days. At 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow, you go to United Road Park towards United Road to wait for me."
"Eight o'clock in the evening? Isn't it too late? That place is so far away..."
"Do you think we are in a relationship where we can meet in broad daylight?" Lin Yongkang gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Ever since you switched me with him, our relationship has been shady! If you want me well, don't complain about the late time and the far distance! If you only have this one grandson in your heart, you might as well go directly to my dad and mom and tell them the truth, so that I can come back to you and live a life of poverty, just like your son, who will be hacked to death one day!"
The old man on the other end of the phone couldn't bear it anymore, sobbing and shouting: "Akang..."
But Lin Yongkang He didn't show any mercy. After his angry expression faded, he was left with a cold look. But when he spoke again, his voice was a little choked up: "Sorry, I was a little emotional."
After taking a deep breath, he continued: "Grandma, you swapped me with him and let me live my current life. I am actually very grateful to you. But my situation is really not as good as you think. Daddy doesn't like me, Mommy always thinks I'm incompetent, and those so-called brothers are always trying to drag me down. If they knew my life experience, I would be really miserable."
"I know, grandma knows that you have a hard time," the old man on the other end of the phone cried, "It's grandma's fault, grandma shouldn't have come to you... Otherwise, forget about the money, I'll think of other ways."
"No!"
Lin Yongkang reacted after shouting, and smiled reluctantly: "Grandma, don't think like that, we are relatives after all, and he was raised by you. Of course I will help him when he encounters difficulties. But I have to go to the New Territories for work the day after tomorrow, and I will take a detour to pass by that road when I come back in the evening. That's why I made an appointment with you at this time. Will you be here on time to wait for me?"
"......Okay."
Hearing her hesitation, Lin Yongkang gritted his teeth and said, "You must come. Otherwise, if you find another time, it will be easy for other people in the family to notice something is wrong, which will lead to my background being exposed."
The person on the other end of the phone no longer hesitated: "Don't worry, I will definitely come."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yongkang leaned against the glass wall of the phone booth and let out a long breath.
But he didn't relax immediately. First, because the result would not be seen until two days later, and second, because even if Chen A-mei was solved, as long as that person was alive, he would have trouble sleeping.
And that person was more difficult to deal with than Chen A-mei, because he was a man in his prime, and he had been to college and started a company. He was not as easy to fool as Chen A-mei.
Maybe... we can start with his bankruptcy.
Who should we find to start with?
Until the early morning, Lin Yongkang was lying in bed thinking about this matter. It was already late at night when he fell into a deep sleep.
Because he went to bed late, when Wen Jiaqi woke him up the next day, Lin Yongkang was groggy and couldn't help dozing off while brushing his teeth.
But as a wealthy family, the Lin family still retains many old customs. For example, as long as family members do not go out, they cannot miss breakfast, lunch and dinner.
So when washing his face, Lin Yongkang deliberately patted his eyes with cold water a few more times, and reluctantly cheered up before returning to the room to change clothes and go to the restaurant on the main floor.
When they arrived at the restaurant, except for the shipping king and Shao Mingzhu, everyone in the other rooms had already arrived, and their eyes when they looked at Lin Yongkang were somewhat meaningful.
Because of his guilty conscience, Lin Yongkang had been particularly sensitive to other people's eyes in the past few days, and soon noticed everyone's vague stares.
After a long while, he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you always look at me?"
Hearing this, the second wife's little daughter couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, do you know that there are reporters outside the door now?"
Wen Jiaqi frowned, "What does the reporter have to do with Yongkang?"
The third wife's daughter-in-law couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed, "This relationship is very big. I heard that those reporters are all coming for big brother."
Because Lin Yongkang is used to being a playboy, Wen Jiaqi's thoughts were suddenly wronged. She raised her eyebrows and glared at Lin Yongkang and asked, "What have you done to let me down again?"
Lin Yongkang was panicked for a moment. He was worried that his life experience would be exposed. He calmed down after hearing Wen Jiaqi's questioning, "I have been at work or at home with you these two days. How can I have the time to do something to let you down?"
Wen Jiaqi thought about it and said, "It must be another unscrupulous reporter who wrote nonsense."
The second wife's youngest daughter said with a smile, "It's hard to say whether it's just random writing, but it's definitely not an unscrupulous reporter. Speaking of it, the newspaper boss and your eldest sister-in-law have a close relationship."
"Which newspaper..."
Before Wen Jiaqi finished speaking, shipping magnate Lin Guanhua and Shao Mingzhu walked into the restaurant. After sitting down, he casually asked, "What reporter?"
The second wife glanced at Shao Mingzhu before saying, "It's a media reporter. He said he wanted to interview Yongkang. The housekeeper came over just now and asked how to deal with it. I was worried that it would disturb you and my eldest sister, so I asked them to chase the reporter away, but..." She looked embarrassed and didn't continue.
Like Wen Jiaqi, Lin Guanhua also instinctively thought that something had happened to Lin Yongkang's personal life, and he looked over with a cold look: "What did you do again?"
Lin Yongkang immediately shouted: "Daddy, it's unfair, I really didn't do anything these days!" But
Lin Guanhua didn't believe Lin Yongkang so easily, and the anger on his face not only did not subside, but became even stronger: "If you didn't do anything, why are there so many reporters outside?"
Although Shao Mingzhu sometimes hated her son for not living up to his expectations, she only had one son, so she was naturally unhappy with her husband's attitude, and said: "You don't even know what happened, isn't it too early to bang the table and scold people now?"
"Auntie, it may be too early for you to speak for eldest brother now." The second wife's little daughter pouted and said, "It's still not certain whether he is your biological son."
Although the second wife had already read the newspaper, after the observation just now, the more she read, the more she felt that Lin Yongkang did not look like a member of the Lin family. But there were too many fabricated news stories written by the second-rate tabloids. No matter how detailed the evidence listed in the newspaper seemed, she did not dare to believe it easily.
So just now she was just observing and did not say a word about the content related to the report.
Not only her, but also other people at the dinner table were like this. No matter how weird the third wife's daughter-in-law was, she did not dare to say directly that Lin Yongkang was the grandson of the nanny.
Her original intention was to guide Lin Guanhua and Shao Mingzhu to inquire about the situation themselves. After knowing the content of the report, whether the first wife wanted to verify it or sue the newspaper company, she did not intend to intervene.
Anyway, no matter how this matter develops, it will be more beneficial than harmful to her.
But she didn't expect her daughter to speak out the contents of the report so bluntly, and even acted as if she was sure that Lin Yongkang was a cuckoo in the nest. Her face suddenly changed, and
she shouted loudly: "Yongwen!" But it was too late when she spoke, and everyone at the dinner table heard Lin Yongwen's words clearly.
Wen Jiaqi stood up immediately and asked loudly: "What do you mean? If Yongkang is not Mommy's biological son, then whose son could he be?"
Shao Mingzhu also said: "Yongkang is the child I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, how could he not be my biological son?"
"Look, Mommy said so!" Someone supported her, and Wen Jiaqi suddenly felt confident, "Little sister, I know you have always disliked Yongkang, and think he blocked the way of your biological brother..."
When Wen Jiaqi was trying to please the second wife, the shipping king's face became more and more gloomy, and the look he gave Lin Yongwen was real, which made her forehead sweat gradually.
Finally, Lin Yongwen said desperately: "I didn't make this up, it's all in the news! They said that Big Brother is not our biological child at all, and your biological son was switched with your nanny right after he was born. That child has been growing up in the countryside, and his company recently went bankrupt, so that nanny came to our house and asked Big Brother to pay money to save him..."
"What are you talking about!" Wen Jiaqi couldn't listen any longer, "Yongkang looks so much like his daddy and mommy, how could he be the nanny's son!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the second and third wives became strange, and the daughter-in-law of the third wife couldn't help but mutter, "Isn't the eldest brother famous for not looking like a member of the Lin family? And if the photos published in the newspaper are true, it is obvious that the child raised by Chen A-mei looks more like the eldest mother, right?"
Ever since Lin Yongwen broke the jar and threw it all away, Shao Mingzhu felt like she had entered a dream. When she heard the three words "Chen A-mei", she couldn't help but stand up and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"Ah?" The daughter-in-law of the third wife was a little confused, "Who?"
"Chen what?"
The third daughter-in-law answered hesitantly: "Chen A-mei?"
Chen A-mei was the wet nurse who had taken care of Shao Mingzhu since she was a child. In her heart, she was closer to her than her mother, so even if she married into the Lin family, she still kept her by her side. Even when she gave birth later, it was Chen A-mei who took care of it all by herself, and she did have the opportunity to swap the child.
And Shao Mingzhu remembered that before she gave birth, Chen A-mei had just had a grandson. At that time, Chen A-mei did not go back to take care of her daughter-in-law in order to take care of her, which touched her heart very much, so she gave Chen A-mei a sum of money to hire a nanny and find a hospital. When
she gave birth to the child, not long after, Chen A-mei said that her daughter-in-law ran away with someone and there was no one to take care of her grandson, so she asked her to resign and leave.
Although she was reluctant, she couldn't let someone ignore his own grandson for her own sake, so she agreed. Originally, she wanted to buy a house for Chen A-mei, but she refused to accept it and left with her child for several decades without any news.
Chen A-mei left more than 30 years ago. At that time, not to mention the daughter-in-law of the third wife, even the second and third wives were not allowed to enter the house. Only a few elderly servants in the family might remember her, but they were all her people and could not tell the people in the second and third wives about these things.
In this case, how did the people in the third wife know this name? The more
Shao Mingzhu thought about it, the more horrible it felt, and her face gradually turned pale.
Wen Jiaqi didn't notice that Shao Mingzhu's expression was not right. Seeing that she didn't say anything, she thought that she was fooled by the people from the second and third rooms, and hurriedly said: "Mom, you can't believe them! They are just waiting for our first room to make trouble! You know how unethical those paparazzi are. This is not the first time they have written nonsense! Moreover, maybe someone is behind this."
As she spoke, she glared at the people from the second and third rooms, thinking that they were up to something.
Seeing the expression on his face, the third son couldn't help it: "Sister-in-law, don't make false accusations . The owner of the newspaper company that reported this incident is your sister. She has nothing to do with us."
Wen Jiaqi didn't react for a moment: "My sister? Who?"
"Wen Yue," Lin Yongwen calmed down and said without minding the hustle and bustle, "You said at home yesterday that the news about your family was leaked by her. Did you forget so quickly?"
Lin Guanhua and Shao Mingzhu didn't know about these things, and they both looked at Wen Jiaqi.
Lin Yongkang, who had been keeping his head down since Lin Yongwen recounted the contents of the report, was afraid that someone would find out. When he learned that the newspaper that exposed his life story was Wen Yue's, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Wen Jiaqi, gritting his teeth and asking: "Why did your family hurt me like this?!"
Wen Jiaqi panicked and hurriedly grabbed Lin Yongkang's hand: "I don't know!"
But Lin Yongkang shook her off and shouted: "Then go back and ask! Find someone to investigate! We are husband and wife, we prosper together and suffer together, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Wen Jiaqi had a flash of inspiration, and her expression gradually distorted, "She wants to use you to hit me, affect the position of our second branch in Daddy's heart, and fight for the family property!" The
more Wen Jiaqi talked, the more she felt that this was the case. She could no longer sit still, so she stood up and said, "I'll go back and ask Daddy to make the decision. Yongkang, Mommy, don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"
After that, Wen Jiaqi walked out quickly in her high heels, regardless of the reactions of the people in the living room.
As soon as she drove out of the gate, reporters waiting outside the gate swarmed around her, holding microphones and vying to ask:
"Ms. Wen, what do you think of this morning's news?"
"Is your husband really a fake young master who was swapped by the nanny? I heard that he has privately found a hospital to do a paternity test. Do you know about this?"
"The newspaper said that your husband is going to hire a murderer. Has he told you about his plan?"
"If your husband is driven out of the Lin family, will you choose to stay together or divorce him?"
Although the car windows were closed, the voices of those reporters were louder and louder. Wen Jiaqi didn't want to hear those questions, but she still heard them, which made her feel upset.
Finally, she stepped on the brakes and opened the door to get out.
Seeing her move, the reporters blocking the door retreated first, and then rushed forward again when she came out, repeating the same questions one after another, until Wen Jiaqi raised her hand and pressed down: "Quiet! Everyone, be quiet!"
The replacement of the eldest son of the shipping tycoon was big news, and the media that came were not only from the entertainment industry, but also serious print media such as Ming Pao, Xiangjiang Commercial Daily, and Metropolis Daily, as well as the news departments of major TV stations, and all of them were elite.
These reporters were experienced, and when they heard Wen Jiaqi say this, they knew that the explosive point might be coming, and they quickly quieted down.
Wen Jiaqi said loudly: "I know what you are all here for. I can assure you here that the story is absolutely false. My husband, Lin Yongkang, is definitely the biological son of the Lin family!"
The reporter from the Metropolis Daily said quickly: "But according to the news from our colleagues, Chen Amei and Li Yongxian mentioned in the report are real people, and Chen Amei did work as a maid in the Shao family and the Lin family in her early years. Li Yongxian has also been on the verge of bankruptcy recently. It can be seen that the relevant information in the report has a certain degree of truth."
The reporter from the East Weekly also said quickly: "According to the news from our colleagues on the front line, the photo of Li Yongxian published in the report who looks similar to the shipping tycoon and his wife is also true. What do you want to say about this, Miss Wen?"
The reporter from Hong Kong Business Daily spoke up later: "According to the report, one of our colleagues contacted the driver that Mr. Lin Yongkang had found to silence the victim. Although the driver did not admit to conspiring with Mr. Lin Yongkang, his son was indeed seriously ill and had submitted the information to the charity foundation under the Lin family..."
After three questions in a row, Wen Jiaqi's colleague was speechless and became more irritated. He gradually lost his composure and started to scream "Ahhh".
As her screams became more and more shrill, the reporters watching gradually quieted down.
After nearly half a minute, Wen Jiaqi stopped shouting and said loudly: "I don't know what you are talking about, but I can tell you clearly that this is slander! And the newspaper that slandered my husband is owned by my second sister Wen Yue's newspaper company. Her fundamental purpose in doing this is to destroy me and make it impossible for me to stop her from competing for the family property!"
Although "Dongjiang Entertainment News" has been very popular recently, both ordinary readers and industry insiders usually only pursue the truth after the news breaks, and don't care who exposed the news. Therefore, few people know that Wen Yue is the behind-the-scenes boss of Dongjiang Newspaper.
So after the shock, many reporters believed what Wen Jiaqi said.
But what they believed was not that Lin Yongkang was the biological son of the Lin family. The reason was simple. The evidence listed by the Dongjiang Entertainment News was too sufficient, and even the copy of the paternity appraisal was available.
Of course, because the names of both parties in the paternity appraisal were replaced by letters, the authenticity of the appraisal results was questionable.
But whether it was Chen Amei who had worked for the Shao and Lin families, or Li Yongxian who looked like the shipping tycoon and his wife, or the driver of the sick son, it would be fine if one of them had a relationship with Lin Yongkang, but all three of them had a relationship with him, which was thought-provoking!
What they believed was that the two consecutive big news stories that the Dongjiang Entertainment News broke were related to the Wen family's battle for inheritance.
First, the two parties involved in the news were related to the Wen family, and second, Wen Jiaqi dared to say so, which showed that Wen Yue must have a relationship with the Dongjiang Newspaper.
Well, actually, more importantly, the fight between wealthy families over inheritance has always been a favorite of Hong Kong citizens. If these are true, the sales of major newspapers may soar in the future.
It's great to hear!
In order to get more information in time, reporters from various media quickly arranged for their colleagues to pass the news to the company, and after receiving the news, the newspapers quickly arranged for reporters to block Wen Yue.
However, they went to Repulse Bay and didn't block anyone. When they
went to the Wen family, they were also told that Wen Yue was not there.
It was not until noon that a group of reporters gathered outside the luxury house at 27 Sze Hoon Road. After
confirming that Wen Yue had moved back to the Yi family, but before seeing her, reporters from various media began to write furiously. Headlines such as "Mainland man waits for the clouds to clear and the moon to appear, Yi Huai finally embraces his beauty after living in the three-family house for three years" were the first to grab a spot on the front page of major newspapers that day.
…
When the reporter Feng Yong arrived at the Yi family, Wen Yue was playing Super Mario in the game room.
Wen Yue had not played many games before she traveled through time, and most of them were mobile games. The few that she had played were also computer games. She had never played a red and white console game.
Today, when she was strolling around at home, she saw this in the game room, and she instantly became interested. After asking the housekeeper to confirm that she could play it, she started playing it.
Don’t say it, a classic is a classic. Although the picture quality displayed on the large screen of the color TV after connecting to the TV is still poor for Wen Yue, a time traveler, and the characters and plots are relatively simple, Wen Yue got into it after playing for a while, and stayed in the game room until dinner time.
After sitting down in the restaurant, Wen Yue finally remembered the business and asked the system in her mind: [How many melon points did I receive today?]
She thought it should be quite a lot. The system prompts this morning were much more frequent than in the past few days.
If she hadn't been used to the system prompts in the past few days and found that she could set the system to reduce the volume, she would definitely not be able to concentrate so much when playing the game just now.
[Dear, as of today, you have received a total of 325,700 melon points, of which 1,500 came from the previous melon.]
Wen Yue was surprised: [So many.]
You know, from the melon about Wen Rongsheng being cuckolded and becoming a father, she only received less than 330,000 melon points. Oh, plus the increase today, it should be 300,000 or 400,000 melon points.
It sounds like the melon-eating value gained from the two melons is about the same, but the previous melon was published on Wednesday, while the melon about the real and fake young master was published today, a time difference of two days.
At this rate, the melon-eating value gained from the melon about the real and fake young master will soon surpass the previous melon about the richest man becoming a father.
However... the popularity of news generally decreases over time. Wen Yue remembered that she seemed to have gained less than two thousand melon-eating value last night. How come the melon about the richest man becoming a father has gained fifteen hundred melon-eating value in just this morning?
[Because after you rushed into the game room, your sister Wen Jiaqi came out to be interviewed by reporters.]
[Oh?] Wen Yue raised her eyebrows, [What did she say? 】
【She exposed that you were the boss behind the Dongjiang Newspaper Company, and said that you made up the story about the real and fake young master, and also mentioned that Wen Jialiang was not your father's biological son, saying that you revealed these things to fight for the family property. 】
The system checked the data: 【As of now, three TV stations and five radio stations have broadcast related news. 】
【Oh, and dozens of media are blocking the gate of the Yi family. I hope you can stand up and respond to this matter. 】
Wen Yue sighed: 【Divert the trouble to the east! 】
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Wen Jiaqi's idea. If you want to cover up a scandal, the best way is not to refute it fiercely, but to cover it with bigger news.
But the premise is that this scandal cannot shake the foundation.
Just like the stars in her previous life’s entertainment industry, who were exposed for cheating and domestic violence, as long as they operated properly, they could easily hide, and then keep a low profile for a while before coming out again, and still brazenly boast about being an innocent boy.
Tax evasion is different. Once this kind of big news that shakes the foundation is exposed, even the most powerful backstage can only wait to be banned.
Lin Yongkang’s foundation is his relationship with the shipping tycoon and his wife. This relationship is not limited to blood ties. If the shipping tycoon and his wife can’t figure it out, even if they know he is not their biological son, they will help him, then his foundation will still be very solid.
However, the people related to this melon include the shipping tycoon and his wife, and Lin Yongkang, but it was Wen Jiaqi who finally responded to the reporter, which is very intriguing.
Wen Yue thought about it, and said to the housekeeper Liu who was standing aside and watching the servants put dishes on the table one by one: "There are a lot of reporters outside?"
"Did you see it?" Housekeeper Liu explained, "I was going to tell you about this, but seeing that you were having fun in the game room, I didn't say it, and just called the master."
Wen Yue didn't expect Yi Huai to know about this, and asked: "What did he say?"
"The master said not to worry about it."
"You still have to worry about it." Wen Yue thought for a while and said, "Well, you ask someone to go out and ask them if they have eaten lunch. If not, contact the restaurant to order meals for them, and send some iced drinks out. The weather is hot, don't get heatstroke."
"Okay, I'll arrange it now."
"Yes." Wen Yue responded, and then shouted again after a while, "Wait, tell the people you let out again that they should not leave at noon, and I will come out to accept interviews at one o'clock."
Most of the wealthy families in Hong Kong are low-key and rarely come out in person to clarify any news, so Butler Liu was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said "OK".
Although Wen Yue said that these things can be arranged by his subordinates, Butler Liu did not ask others to do it. He personally took people out to count the list of people who did not eat, and then contacted the restaurant at the foot of the mountain to prepare lunch boxes and send them up. At the
same time, he arranged for the staff in the villa to prepare ice drinks, which were sent out bucket by bucket, and told everyone that Wen Yue was going to be interviewed.
Originally, because they had been waiting for no one, the reporters outside began to feel a little drowsy, and some reporters began to consider whether to follow other news and let their apprentices or assistants stay here.
After all, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the mystery of the life experience of the eldest son of the shipping magnate is more popular now.
But when they learned that Wen Yue was also going to be interviewed, those who were sleepy and wanted to leave were all encouraged.
The Wen family is still good!
Other wealthy families are proud of their status and are unwilling to clarify any news on the surface. Some even put pressure on reporters from the top to shut up.
Unlike the two daughters of the Wen family, they took the initiative to break the news and face the reporters head-on, worrying about their monthly bonuses. They
are simply the female bodhisattvas of the world!
...
Wen Yue didn't know that the reporters guarding outside the gate wanted to worship her after receiving the news. She finished her lunch calmly, and seeing that it was still early, she sat in the living room and turned on the air conditioner for a while. When it was time, she took the tape and called the security guard to go out.
Although it was broad daylight and there were reporters outside, Lin Yongkang, who was busy with his own affairs, probably had no intention of hiring someone to kill her, but he was afraid of the worst.
She only had one life, and she couldn't gamble with someone else's thoughts.
When Wen Yue went out, the reporters outside had finished their lunch boxes and drank ice water. They were more refreshed than each other, and they swarmed over her when they saw her figure appear in the door.
Although they were stopped by the Yi family's bodyguards before they could get close to Wen Yue, they all stretched out their arms and held up the microphones, vying to ask:
"Ms. Wen, it is said that you are the boss behind the Dongjiang Newspaper.
Is this true?" "It is said that the news recently published in the Dongjiang Entertainment News was all directed by you behind the scenes, with the purpose of suppressing the other three branches of the Wen family from competing for the family property. Is this true?"
"Miss Wen, your sister Wen Jiaqi said that her husband is not the biological son of the Lin family. This is pure rumor. She will take legal action to deal with this matter. Are you afraid?"
Seeing that everyone kept asking questions, Wen Yue gave □□ a look. He quickly stepped forward and shouted at the top of his voice: "Quiet! Don't crowd. If you have any questions, ask them one by one. If you don't maintain order, please leave now!"
Among Yi Huai's bodyguards, □□'s Cantonese is the best. Although the word order and pronunciation can occasionally be heard from the mainland, basically no one can understand what he says.
So the reporters who were squeezing forward stopped one after another.
Butler Liu also arranged for people to quickly send out umbrellas, tables, chairs and a recorder. Of course, these were prepared for Wen Yue, and the reporters got plastic stools.
After sitting down, Wen Yue cleared her throat and said to the reporters in the front row, "Should you give me a microphone?"
Among the reporters in the front row was a man from Dongjiang Newspaper. Although he was a new recruit of Huang Zhihao and had never met Wen Yue in the company, he knew that this was the boss. His expression looked a little reserved, but also very attentive.
Almost as soon as Wen Yue finished speaking, he handed the microphone to him.
The other reporters looked so angry that they wanted to turn into flying knives, but when they saw the name of the media on the microphone, they all wilted.
After taking the microphone, Wen Yue coughed twice to test the effect. She felt that there was no problem, so she said, "If you have any questions, you can raise your hands and speak one by one."
The reporters below had a strange look on their faces.
Although the two sisters of the Wen family are different from the daughters of ordinary wealthy families, they feel that this interview has become official. If you don't know, you might think they are holding a press conference!
When Wen Yue called on people to ask questions, the scene looked more like a press conference.
The difference is that at a general press conference, the organizer basically calls on a reporter to answer a question, but Wen Yue is different. After the reporter has finished asking, she will call on the next person.
After listening to all the questions, Wen Yue said: "I have understood everyone's questions, and I will answer them one by one."
"The first question is, am I the behind-the-scenes boss of the Dongjiang Entertainment News?"
"Yes, I am. Dongjiang Newspaper is the industry left to me by my mother. I didn't manage this company before, but recently I plan to run it well and have made a lot of efforts to this end, such as adjusting the layout of the newspaper..."
After Wen Yue spoke proudly about the Dongjiang Entertainment News for three minutes, a reporter couldn't help it and raised his hand and asked hesitantly: "Ms. Wen, are you... advertising for your company's newspaper again?"
"Ah?"
Wen Yue blinked, "I've been found out!"
Reporter: "...You've been talking about the Dongjiang Entertainment News. It's not easy for us to pretend to be blind."
Wen Yue's intention was exposed, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all. She frankly admitted: "I was indeed advertising. Considering that I just said so much, I hope that when you go back to write articles, you must not write "Dongjiang Entertainment News" as "a certain newspaper", otherwise I will be very sad."
Reporter on the scene: "..." Okay.
After the advertisement, Wen Yue continued to answer the following question: "Regarding whether I used the Dongjiang Entertainment News to create public opinion to suppress the other three branches of the Wen family, I think fabricating facts is called suppression, and making the truth public regardless of blood ties should be called iron-faced and impartial. What do you think?"
The reporters on the scene raised their hands.
Wen Yue pointed to the reporter from East Weekly, who stood up and said, "Ms. Wen, do you mean that what you revealed is the truth, and Mr. Lin Yongkang is not a biological son of the Lin family? Can you take legal responsibility for what you said?"
"I can take legal responsibility for what I said."
After the question and answer session, other reporters raised their hands more frequently. Wen Yue simply called another reporter, who stood up and asked, "Since you insist that what you revealed is the truth, then what do you think of Ms. Wen Jiaqi's claim that she is going to sue you for defamation? Will you take her to court in the future?"
"My opinion is that she definitely did not communicate with her husband before she threatened to sue me for defamation." Wen Yue said firmly, and continued to answer the next question, "If she sues me, I will attend the trial."
"So Miss Wen, what you mean is that you are sure that Mr. Lin Yongkang already knew my background, and went to the hospital for a paternity test in person, and you have the idea of hiring someone to kill me."
Wen Yue corrected her, "It's not an idea, but an action."
Everyone was shocked.
No one cared about order anymore. They raised their microphones and asked one after another: "Ms. Wen, do you have evidence to prove that Lin Yongkang hired murder?"
"Ms. Wen, one of my colleagues has met Chen A-mei. She is still alive. Do you know about this?" "Ms.
Wen, do you know that if you don't have solid evidence to prove that Lin Yongkang hired murder, you may face jail time?"
"I know." Wen Yue took out three tapes, picked up one of them and put it into the recorder, pressed the switch and said, "So next, I would like everyone to listen to three recordings."
The reporters at the scene were puzzled at first, but when the man's voice came out of the tape and was amplified into their ears through the microphone, they quieted down.
Although the reporters at the scene had never talked to Lin Yongkang and could not recognize his voice, they knew that since Wen Yue played the recording for them, the owner of the voice must be related to Lin Yongkang.
Sure enough, after Lin Yongkang finished speaking impatiently, an old voice shouted, "Akang, I know you may not believe me, but I am really your grandmother! Your father was a loser. He started hanging out with the gang when he was in his teens and died before he was thirty. Your mother gave birth to you and ran away. You were skinny and small, and suffered from many illnesses. How could an old woman like me support you? At that time, the young lady also gave birth to a child. She was the eldest daughter of the Shao family, and her husband was very capable. Mr. Lin's business was very big in those years, and he was not short of money. I had a change of mind for a moment, so I swapped you with Master Axian."
The first recording was quickly played, and Wen Yue put the second tape into the recorder. This tape recorded the process of Lin Yongkang and the driver conspiring to murder.
Then came the third tape, which was a conversation between Lin Yongkang and Chen A-mei when they called and asked her to meet the next night.
After listening to the three tapes, everyone was quiet.
No one doubted the authenticity of the recording, because it was too easy to verify. One could tell if it was Lin Yongkang's voice by just listening to it. As for whether the tapes were fake, the police also had enough means to verify it.
But the contents of these three tapes were really shocking. What kind of person could be so self-righteous when luring others into the murder trap he set?
They were also shocked that Wen Yue actually had so much evidence in her hands. No wonder she was so determined and not afraid of Wen Jiaqi's threats at all.
When everyone was silent, Wen Yue spoke again: "You may be wondering, why don't I hand over such important evidence directly to the police."
Reporters at the scene came to their senses one after another: "Yes, Miss Wen, why don't you hand the evidence directly to the police?"
"That's right, since you knew Lin Yongkang's plan, shouldn't you call the police directly?"
Amid the discussion, Wen Yue raised her hand and said: "Calling the police is easy, but you have to know that the people I am facing are very good at manipulating public opinion. Think about it, if you didn't hear the recording with your own ears, after knowing that I am the behind-the-scenes boss of "Dongjiang Entertainment News", would you be brainwashed and think that all this is my conspiracy?"
Many reporters at the scene were hesitant. They felt that they would not, but when they thought about how they almost believed Wen Jiaqi's words before, they were a little unsure.
"Some people may say that the police will issue a bulletin after the investigation, and by then, I can still clear myself. But I always believe that rumors never stop at the wise, and there is no shortage of smart people in this world. They only believe what they want to believe. Without hearing the recordings in person, there will always be people who think that the text version of the recordings published in my newspapers are all fabricated."
Wen Yue picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and continued: "And I never like to be misunderstood. I also believe that with so many media colleagues here, everyone can prove my innocence."
Of course this is false. It's not that Wen Yue likes to be misunderstood, but she feels that the truth is in front of her, and she doesn't think that Wen Jiaqi's few words can reverse black and white.
But Wen Jiaqi's exposure that she was the behind-the-scenes boss of Dongjiang Newspapers caused her to get a small peak in the melon-eating value from the Wen family, which was about to lose its popularity . This opened up Wen Yue's thinking.
Since this operation is feasible, she must personally come forward to stir up the popularity of this melon! After all, the higher the popularity, the more melon-eating value she can get.
In order to live a long life as soon as possible, she fought hard!
However, the reporters on the scene didn't know what Wen Yue was thinking, and they felt that her words touched their hearts.
Who among the reporters has not been scolded by a few unscrupulous paparazzi?
Yes, the quality of people in their industry is indeed uneven. There are people who write news by making up stories, but there are also many people who are down-to-earth in reporting news.
Thinking of the past experience of being misunderstood, the reporters on the scene quickly understood Wen Yue and loudly assured her: "Don't worry, Miss Wen, we will report today's news truthfully to prove your innocence!"
"Thank you everyone."
Wen Yue smiled and picked up her phone and said: "In order to thank everyone for their support, I decided to be a good citizen of Hong Kong."
While speaking, she called the police station and said that she had recently received an anonymous package, which contained three tapes recording the murder conspiracy of the eldest son of the current shipping tycoon, Lin Yongkang.
The police came quickly, but when they saw that the door was full of reporters, they suspected that they had gone to the wrong place.
After receiving a positive answer, several people dazedly handed over the evidence to Wen Yue in front of many reporters, video recorders, cameras and recorders, and then left dazedly. After
the handover of evidence, Wen Yue announced that today's "press conference" was successfully concluded, and wished everyone a safe journey, and that they would be full of ideas when they return, and: "Be sure to include the five words "Dongjiang Entertainment News" in the press release~"
