"Otherwise, he will reveal more secrets about the trafficking and auctioning of girls."
Li Yan nodded:
"It was Zhou Heng who released it. The unethical drug experiments had already damaged the cruise ship's reputation, and this scandal only exacerbated the situation."
"If it is fully exposed, the cruise ship will definitely face a global boycott."
Jing Min also picked up his coffee and took a sip, the strong bitterness making him frown slightly.
Yan Zhou noticed his furrowed brows and quickly sensed his displeasure. He immediately turned to his secretary and whispered an instruction:
"Pour in some tea,"
Jingmin's gaze remained fixed on the documents on the table.
Yan Zhou continued to add:
"It is worth mentioning that as soon as this news was released, someone quickly withdrew it, and then... Zhou Heng was released on bail pending trial."
"This indirectly proves that someone is indeed targeting Zhou Heng personally, and Jin Zhuoer is probably implicated as well,"
"The point isn't to expose the cruise ship, otherwise, the moment the girl's tattoo was exposed at auction, people would have reacted immediately... while Zhou Heng's tattoo was exposed before but still spread..."
"This news about the teenage girl's tattoo is clearly Zhou Heng testing the limits of his shareholders,"
"He must have found out something he shouldn't have known and is being silenced,"
"But this time, when he offered his 'bargaining chips,' the person behind him immediately stepped in to protect him, so he has some leverage now..."
"But the more you know, the easier it might be to be... silenced!"
Li Yan nodded, his tone calm.
"The fact that the royal family could operate so quickly in Haicheng means they must have stayed out of it."
“Jin Zhuoer and Zhou Heng are on the same side. There’s no need to test them; that’s the ‘Black Lotus.’ Only with influence in Haicheng can they operate so quickly,”
Jing Min put down his coffee cup and looked up slightly at Li Yan:
"'Black Lotus'?"
"'White Camellia' specifically refers to people of Chinese descent, and they also have the capability."
Jingmin picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and the rich floral fragrance instantly filled his mouth.
The aroma made him frown slightly, then pause for a moment.
He subconsciously put down his teacup, seemingly somewhat displeased.
Yan Zhou noticed Jing Min's reaction and asked in a low voice:
"Mr. Jing, would you like to have a different pot of tea?"
Jingmin looked up at him
"Call in the secretary who makes tea."
The secretary panicked as she entered and quickly lowered her head.
Jingmin asked:
"What kind of tea is this?"
The secretary stood in front of Jing Min and said in a low, nervous voice:
"Mr. Jing, this is tea made from dried camellia flowers, specially brought back from the mountains in the south."
"The fragrance of these flowers is the best, so I brewed this."
As she spoke, she hurriedly explained,
"I don't know Mr. Jing's taste. If you don't like it, I can go and brew something else now."
Jing Min didn't respond immediately, but merely glanced at her, his tone indifferent:
"It's alright, you can go out first."
After the secretary left,
Jingmin leaned back in his chair, his gaze calm, and gently swirled his teacup.
Actually, he was just reminded of a few days ago by the fragrance of the flowers.
The bouquet of camellias that Yang Jinchu had given her was the one that Chu Wuyang was holding in her arms.
That evening, Chu Wuyang had the maid arrange the flowers.
Jing Min didn't say anything at the time, nor did he show any obvious dissatisfaction.
However, he later secretly instructed the servants to make it into flower tea and prepared to give it back to Yang Jinchu.
Isn't his favorite thing to do "make tea"?
Yan Zhou asked aloud
"What has Mr. Jing thought of?"
Jing Min slowly shifted his gaze from the teacup, his voice tinged with doubt.
"Could 'White Camellia' possibly be Yang Jinchu?"
He didn't actually want to admit it.
However, Yang Jinchu's motives were clear; he always sent his wife white mountain tea.
And 'White Camellia' is himself.
So he gave himself to his wife?
Is every gift-giving a form of subtle provocation?
I'm so angry! How can anyone be so incompetent?
The more I think about it, the more it seems to be him. Five years ago, besides Jin Zhuoer,
The other three shareholders had no grudge against him, so there was no reason for them to help him while also sending Yun Yang over to annoy him. It could only be him.
Furthermore, he might also be the one who most wants him to stay away from Haicheng.
Didn't he keep thinking about getting him away from Haicheng a few days ago?
Similarly, the other party might be thinking the same thing.
And they did it.
The more I think about it, the more hateful it becomes!
Yan Zhou spoke silently.
"However, according to the cruise ship's shareholder information, the Atlantean royal family were the founders, and the latter three were all newcomers,"
"Furthermore, 'White Mountain Tea' was the second investor. If we calculate based on the time of their joining, Yang Jinchu was probably still a high school student at that time,"
"Unlikely!"
Li Yan also shook his head.
"Apart from the age not matching, everything else is quite correct,"
Jingmin glanced at them twice.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later."
It was getting late, and he needed to pick up his wife from get off work.
