Pei Siyu's face remained expressionless, but every word he uttered seemed to be coated with ice shards, sending chills down one's spine.
Mingyao was stunned.
In her memory, Pei Siyu was calm and composed, and had an imposing presence even without anger.
The ruthlessness and coldness that flashed in his eyes just now sent chills down Mingyao's spine.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Siyu noticed that Mingyao was staring at him, and his tone returned to its usual calm: "What's wrong?"
Mingyao immediately looked away and smiled slightly: "It's nothing."
On the third day after the incident, the police confirmed that the deceased were one man and three women, and one of the women was not found in the factory.
Mingyao was stunned when she saw the news.
Besides Qiao Wenjuan and Xia Kexing, was there a third female victim?
Who could it be?
The body was burned to a skeleton, making it difficult to determine the identity and cause of death.
After the news about the accident finished playing, an interview with Luo Cuilan began.
The Luo Cuilan in the video is no longer content with her former glory.
At this moment, her face was deathly pale, and her cheeks and eye sockets were sunken to varying degrees, as if she had suffered a huge blow.
The fire at the high-tech company propelled Luo Cuilan to the forefront of public opinion.
With the departure of the company's two major shareholders, she, as the vice director and the largest shareholder, is highly likely to acquire the company.
Netizens expressed envy, jealousy, and hatred towards her, with some even harboring conspiracy theories, suspecting that Luo Cuilan was the mastermind behind the fire.
Of course, such comments were inconspicuous and were quickly drowned out by the debate among netizens.
"Please don't discuss my friend too much..."
Luo Cuilan sobbed as she pleaded with the media and the public to leave Zhong Ruyi and Lin Bin alone.
The identities of the deceased have not yet been confirmed, but Luo Cuilan's release of this signal undoubtedly tells everyone that Lin Bin and Zhong Ruyi have died.
The reporter asked pointedly, "Ms. Luo, the identities of the deceased are currently unknown. Are you cursing your two friends to die with these words?"
The male reporter's question caused an uproar among the crowd, and countless eyes turned to him.
The male reporter pressed his advantage: "The fire hadn't yet gone viral online, but the shares of the high-tech company plummeted."
"Most people started selling their stocks, but one person did the opposite and bought them in large quantities."
"According to rumors, the person buying the shares is Ms. Luo. Isn't Ms. Luo preoccupied with her life and death and unable to eat or drink? How come she has the mind to buy shares?"
The male reporter's highly targeted remarks prompted other reporters present to criticize him, arguing that he lacked empathy.
Luo Cuilan's face turned ashen. She choked up, unsure how to explain.
The male reporter pressed aggressively: "Ms. Luo, are you not answering because you're guilty? Or haven't you thought of an excuse yet?"
Other reporters, noticing Luo Cuilan's unusual expression, also began to have doubts.
Seeing that the situation was out of her control, Luo Cuilan rolled her eyes and fainted at the press conference.
The news clips were edited and then widely circulated online.
Public sentiment was ignited, and people turned their anger towards the male reporter.
"This male reporter is far too cold-hearted!"
"That's right. The fire has been going on for several days, and Lin Bin and Zhong Ruyi haven't shown up. What else could it be but an accident?"
The irrational netizens dug up the male reporter's personal information and subjected him to cyberbullying.
Soon, rumors circulated online that the male reporter had been fired and blacklisted in the media industry.
This series of actions was completed in just one afternoon, and the marketing accounts even came out to praise how righteous netizens were.
Mingyao almost burst out laughing as she watched the online activity.
Is it really just so-called netizens, or are some people using the name of netizens to eliminate those who are detrimental to them?
Because of the male reporter's question, some doubts about Luo Cuilan have emerged online.
After an afternoon of online harassment against the male reporter, the few remaining doubts disappeared.
The next day, during rush hour, Luo Cuilan voluntarily cooperated with the police investigation and provided them with an important clue.
Before the incident, Zhong Ruyi sent her a text message.
The text message contained Zhong Ruyi's tearful complaint that Lin Bin was not a real man and that during the argument he had threatened to kill her and her child.
Luo Cuilan was busy in a meeting at the time and did not reply to the message.
An hour and a half later, she tried calling Zhong Ruyi, but no one answered.
Someone close to Luo Cuilan, taking advantage of their indignation at the injustice done to her, released chat logs and call records between Zhong Ruyi and Luo Cuilan online.
Public opinion has once again turned its attention to Lin Bin.
Soon, various negative rumors about Lin Bin appeared online.
They even uncovered that Lin Bin deliberately approached Ni An during Zhong Ruyi's pregnancy and used Ni An to get back at Zhong Ruyi.
They even dug up various pieces of evidence showing that Lin Bin, Xia Kexing, and Guo Xiaorong were collaborating against Haichang Branch and Zhong Ruyi.
Netizens passionately criticized Lin Bin, and Xia Kexing, Guo Xiaorong, and Ni An were also implicated, with some even revealing chat logs suggesting a possible kidnapping plot.
In just one day, Lin Bin, Guo Xiaorong, Xia Kexing, and others were thoroughly exposed.
Because Ni An was deceived by Lin Bin, everyone showed her leniency.
"Why haven't Xia Kexing and Guo Xiaorong been caught yet?!"
"Why don't those two women and Lin Bin go to hell?"
Driven by online public opinion, Lin Bin, Guo Xiaorong, and Xia Kexing have been labeled as kidnappers.
Netizens began to spontaneously investigate clues about Guo Xiaorong and Xia Kexing.
Not only them, but Luo Cuilan was also searching for their whereabouts.
After the fire, Guo Xiaorong and Xia Kexing seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Luo Cuilan paced anxiously in the ward, biting her nails and her eyes bloodshot.
She worried that Guo Xiaorong and Xia Kexing wanted to take advantage of her when she wasn't paying attention to deliver a fatal blow.
She has painstakingly managed the company for so many years, enduring humiliation and scheming, all for the sake of taking control of the high-tech company.
With the harvest just around the corner, we absolutely cannot afford any mistakes!
"Keep searching! Turn the sea upside down and find them!"
In the hospital, Mingyao glanced at Zhong Ruyi's gloomy face and silently turned off the TV.
"Stop looking."
You need to rest.
Zhong Ruyi was old, and the induced labor had taken a toll on her body.
It's really not worth it to get hurt by the news.
Zhong Ruyi smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "I'm fine."
Despite saying that, her fists were clenched tightly.
In the past few days, Zhong Ruyi sent people to carefully investigate Luo Cuilan and Lin Bin's past.
She was too naive before, trusting them both too much and never thinking to investigate their backgrounds.
After investigating, she learned that Luo Cuilan and Lin Bin were childhood sweethearts, having lived together in a small county town since they were young.
She was outmaneuvered by Lin Bin and Luo Cuilan from beginning to end.
From her meeting with Luo Cuilan to her acquaintance with Lin Bin, and then to their marriage, every single thing she did was a conspiracy against her!
