"I was just busy comforting you~ Wait a minute, I'll go arrange it right away!"
Ning Jiu'an walked to the snack cabinet next to the hall and took out Li Mufei's favorite snacks and drinks. All the snacks and drinks in this cabinet were specially prepared by Ning Jiu'an for Li Mufei.
Whenever Ning Jiu'an had time, she would restock the stock every few days.
"Hey~ your favorite lime-flavored potato chips~"
Ning Jiu'an tore open the bag of potato chips and handed the whole bag to Li Mufei.
He used to always want to buy canned potato chips for Li Mufei, but she said that bagged ones were more satisfying to eat and more convenient to carry. Since then, canned potato chips have never appeared in Li Mufei's apartment again.
"Thank you, Jiu'an, my darling! Mmm~"
Li Mufei gave him a kiss on the cheek and took the potato chips.
"After watching the movie, you should go to sleep obediently and not overthink things. We can talk about everything tomorrow."
Ning Jiu'an embraced Li Mufei, and they watched a movie together, their laughter filling the room.

On the plane
"We already have news."
Lan Jingyan and Yan Xiluo both said in unison that they wanted to share the latest developments of LFY Group with each other.
"It was found that Sun Shanshan did it, but someone else took the opportunity to sabotage it."
Yan Xiluo gestured for Lan Jingyan to speak first, and Lan Jingyan shared the results of her research on writing.
"I got the same result here. On the surface, it was Sun Shanshan who did it, but she couldn't possibly have made such a big deal out of it all by herself! Her motive is simply that she hates me. She likes you, and because we're a couple, she's unhappy with me and trying to trip me up."
Her tea-tasting skills are top-notch, but who on earth wanted to put them in the spotlight? Why would someone spend so much money to try and bring down the entire LFY Group?
"The person behind this is simply using our strength to their advantage. Xie Xun said that the person behind this has not left any trace, and we need to investigate repeatedly to find a clue."
Lan Jingyan looked out the window and pondered. There were very few people who could make such a big fuss and have public opinion completely on their side. After all, LFY Group has always had a good reputation and has done very well both domestically and internationally. It can be said that it has hardly ever received any negative reviews in its history.
How could LFY Group, which has always received rave reviews, become the target of online criticism in just half a day?
It's nothing more than...
First, the product really has a problem; second, the person behind it has a lot of money to spend on smear campaigns.
If we eliminate the first possibility, then it must be the second one. He's ruled out all the capable people in China who could achieve this; if it's not them, then it must be someone from overseas!
"I can understand that Sun Shanshan wants to bring me down. As for the people behind it, I don't think I have any grudges against them, right? Although I've offended quite a few people, there's really no one with the ability to escalate things to this extent! With their meager strength, where would they get so much money to make this matter so tarnished in just half a day?"
Yes, Yan Xiluo is fearless and has offended some people, but only if they cause her trouble first. If they offend her first, she will simply retaliate in kind.
It wasn't exactly an offense, but rather a past grudge.
"That person isn't from China. Think about it, which person in China with that kind of power don't we know? Which one haven't we cooperated with in depth? So that person must be from abroad. Could it be the same person who's been chasing you?"
Lan Jingyan still voiced all her doubts.
"There's some truth to that, and it's not entirely impossible, but if the person is from overseas, it's hard to rule out... the possibilities are too broad."
There are many people overseas who have connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and there's no shortage of people with the power and money to do so. Even setting aside connections in both, it's hard to say what truly matters...
"The scope is a bit too large, but my people are all over the world. If we investigate slowly, we'll surely find some clues, right?"
Lan Jingyan lowered her head slightly, her eyelashes drooping, and her index finger gently rubbing back and forth on her lips, as if she was deep in thought.
"My people are all over the world, so we can investigate together. However, the other side is quite sophisticated; even the blackmailing was fabricated to make it seem like Sun Shanshan was the sole perpetrator. And those so-called parties involved in the video, including their family members, didn't receive any transfers or similar transactions. This proves that the people behind this are very thorough; they could only have conducted cash transactions face-to-face, or placed the cash in a designated location for them to retrieve..."
Yan Xiluo imagined all sorts of possible scenarios in her mind.
“Your analysis is also very reasonable. If that’s really the case, then our investigation will be much more difficult. Whether it’s a face-to-face transaction or not, their people must have made ample preparations and be fully armed.”
Lan Jingyan had also considered these possibilities, but Yan Xiluo brought them up first.
"Well, the most important thing is to deal with this public opinion and prove my innocence. We can handle the rest later. I won't go home tonight. Can I come to your place? I'm afraid it will disturb my parents if I go back too late."
It would be around 1 or 2 a.m. when she got back, and she didn't want to bother Yan Youting and Li Shuwen, since she had to go to the company early the next morning.
"Okay, anyway, the company accommodation has all your personal items."
In City A, if Yan Xiluo is too busy with work to go home, she must be staying at Lan Jingyan's company residence, because Nuannuan often lives there as well.
"Yes, does your company still have cars? I need to go to LFY Group first thing tomorrow morning."
Logically speaking, Lan Jingyan should have several cars parked in the private garage of the Lan Group's underground parking lot.
I don't know if they all drove away this time while I was with her at work.
"Yes! And the sports car I specially ordered for you last time has arrived. You can drive that one. I've also asked Xie Xun to leave the keys at the company residence."
Lan Jingyan had already customized this sports car for Yan Xiluo when she agreed to join the film crew, but it was only recently delivered back.
"Is that the cool two-tone car you showed me? It'll be so eye-catching to drive that..."
Given the current situation of LFY Group, will it spark new public opinion?
What if those people scratch her car out of irrationality? It was a gift from Lan Jingyan!
"If you don't want to drive that one, there are other slightly more low-key ones. You can choose whichever you prefer. There are several cars parked there."
Lan Jingyan simply felt that the innocent should remain innocent and didn't need to care about other people's opinions, but as long as Yan Xiluo was happy, she could arrange things however she wanted.
“A car is all we need. It will take some time to gather evidence because some counterfeit products have appeared online. Those lumbar support belts that caused the problem are not from our company at all! I suspect there is a mole within our company who leaked the blueprints.”
Otherwise, those counterfeit goods wouldn't look so real, and even some very small details would be done very well.
