His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light Chapter 870 - Enigmatic Truth (20)

Wu Xing’s medical records, his meeting with s.h.i.+ Ze, and a transcript of the conversation on the rooftop… Lu Yanchen had people upload them online. With that, the internet was instantly turned into a bloodbath.

These pieces of information were the truly iron hammers that would cause s.h.i.+ Ze’s company to come across its biggest hards.h.i.+p once published.

It wasn’t that s.h.i.+ Ze hadn’t thought of blocking everything—he had made use of all his connections to hope and try and contain every single bit of information that Lu Yanchen uploaded.

However, he had forgotten that Lu Yanchen was no ordinary man.

If he were anyone else, this information might not have seen the light of day. However, the status of the Lu Family caused every single media outlet to not dare render s.h.i.+ Ze any bit of help, no matter how much money he was willing to pay. After all, even a fool knew not to mess with the Lu Family.

The police had investigated everything thoroughly as well, publis.h.i.+ng their investigation results on their official page and announcing that Lu Yanchen had nothing to do with Wu Xing’s death.

That very same afternoon, someone leaked an image of s.h.i.+ Ze being brought to the police station for questioning. However, the only evidence was s.h.i.+ Ze meeting with Wu Xing, and at the same time, Wu Xing did not clearly mention that s.h.i.+ Ze was the one who asked him to jump. Hence, s.h.i.+ Ze was released on that same day without further evidence.

Yet, that did not mean that he was off the hook.

On the internet, s.h.i.+ Ze was bombarded.

His company’s shares were plunging furiously—his plot to bring down Lu Yanchen had caused everything to rebound back at him.

At a time like this, the best way to suppress all the attention was for even more shocking news to be exposed, such that peoples’ attention would be diverted.

That way, he could slip off the radar unnoticed.

News from the entertainment scene were always more attention-seeking, and now that he was in a pinch, s.h.i.+ Ze paid for three exposés of the entertainment scene at one go.

Lu Yanchen merely took a single look to know that s.h.i.+ Ze was behind the exposés as he smirked coldly. To him, the dip of s.h.i.+ Ze’s stocks was way too little—there was no way he would let the hype die down as such.

Under Lu Yanchen’s influence, even those three pieces of exposés did not manage to cover s.h.i.+ Ze’s matter entirely. Instead of decreasing, the number of people who were insulting and scolding s.h.i.+ Ze daily was in fact rising…

On the other hand, s.h.i.+ Ze naturally knew that Lu Yanchen was behind everything! Looking at the various venomous comments as well as his plunging share prices, he could not help but wonder if Lu Yanchen was just trying to do him in?

Recalling Shen Lingshuang’s call earlier on, s.h.i.+ Guang asked Lu Yanchen, “Your mummy asked for you to give some chance and not kill off s.h.i.+ Ze entirely.”

Lu Yanchen let out a bitter smile upon hearing her words.

Right now, his emotions were complex as well. “In the past, I always hung out with him, Chu Mubei, and the rest. Out of everyone, I was the closest with him—even more than Chu Mubei. Never would I have thought that we would have this blood feud one day.”

“He’s quite the extremist.” s.h.i.+ Guang felt s.h.i.+vers run down her spine when she thought about how s.h.i.+ Ze had behaved like a lunatic upon discovering her relations.h.i.+p with Lu Yanchen that day outside the restaurant.

Lu Yanchen looked far ahead, his thoughts unknown.

After staying silent for a while, he looked at s.h.i.+ Guang deeply and commented stoically, “The reason why he feels that I’m in the wrong is that there’s a rumor in the circle. It was said that in the past when Chief Lu was young, he had beaten someone to death for the sake of my mother. Because of that, s.h.i.+ Ze felt that status and power was all that was required to settle everything… The reason why he hates me is that he felt that I could have helped him and yet I didn’t. Instead, I chose to stand as a witness. Because I was the witness, no one would dare help him at all. Coupled with the fact that we were good friends, he hated me to the core.”
