Chapter 650: Chapter 420 Who Spread the Rumor_2

Feng Yi forwarded all of these to Yi, who now serves as a special assistant.

After chatting with the butler for a bit, Feng Yi returned to his room, took a shower, changed into some home clothes, and felt completely relaxed.

He took out his mobile phone to check the latest online trends.

The news spread quickly on the internet. While Feng Yi’s plane was still in flight, a heated discussion had already erupted online.

Even if many people don’t use social media platforms, when they saw more formal media outlets reporting on "a nearly 3000-carat gem diamond"...

"Gem diamond"? What’s that?

Soon, the passersby caught on.

It’s a diamond!

Then they looked at the main character involved.

What? Feng Yi?!

Wasn’t he just going abroad for a meeting?

How did he end up causing a stir while at it?!

Whether it’s about the diamond or Feng Yi himself, both are filled with topicality.

[Is this news real?! Nearly 3000 carats? That’s over half a kilo, bigger than the eggs my goose lays at home!]

[It’s true! The two bosses of Ancestral Factory confirmed it on social media with a picture, a raw colored diamond, that big!]

[Colored diamond? What kind of colored diamond? Is it the kind you get for becoming a member? No lie, I have assembled an Infinity Gauntlet before!]

[Can diamonds even be that big, so big that I can’t believe it’s real [cover face]]

[This kind of item isn’t within my spending reach. Just watch the drama unfold.]

[Curious, does he need to surrender it?]

[Depends on local policies. For Feng Yi, this seems to be a legitimate gain, in line with foreign circumstances, openly pried out, no need to hide. Based on current market conditions, as long as the source is clear and the item is clean, its price won’t be low!]

[Didn’t they say diamonds are the biggest scam? That thing is just carbon! I could burn it into air with a magnifying glass in the sunlight!]

[Uh, a regular magnifying glass can’t do that, the temperature isn’t high enough, I’ve tried, burned it for half a day and it didn’t get any smaller.]

[Burn it with fire, the kind with a higher flame temperature, I’ve tried, ahhh!!! My budget is burning!!!]

Critics of the diamond market are only a minority, and more people are curious about the high-energy process of Feng Yi’s diamond digging event.

[So, you’re saying Feng Yi spent just a few hundred bucks on a ticket, and ended up with such a large top-quality diamond? Capitalists would be envious!]

[There are some additional charges for the paperwork, and the documents, which are a bit more expensive, but overall, this haul is a massive profit [jealous]]

[As long as it’s confirmed to be a "massive profit" and not a "blood diamond," then it’s fine.]

[Got it, I’m going to apply for a visa and fly over to dig for diamonds!]

[This thing with Feng Yi, ordinary people really can’t compare. In terms of investment, he must have spent quite a bit. Those people he hired, the connections he used, it isn’t something small change can deal with.]

[Behind every rare diamond, there’s a blood-soaked history! Only someone like Feng Yi could, upon finding such a big raw diamond, summon ten helicopters to clear the way and quickly take his private plane back home to avoid danger. Anyone else would probably have disappeared, and it’s very possible they might vanish in those plantations over there.]

[If that diamond was any bigger, the world record could have been refreshed]

Feng Yi himself isn’t too concerned about world records.

If he wanted to set records, he could challenge them at any time, search in more places, scan every spot, maybe he’d find even larger raw stones.

However, he has no such need, as he isn’t short on funds right now.

Nor is he relying on this to make money.

And now with such high levels of attention, his itinerary is being watched.

Feng Yi browsed through more comments online.

Indeed, some people questioned the origin of this diamond raw stone.

Is it really just good luck that he found it there, this diamond, or did he stage it himself, pre-placing an untraceable diamond there to launder it on this occasion?

Such speculation started as scattered few, but as time went on, they appeared with increasing frequency.

Somebody was pushing this angle, but indeed many netizens were curious, including some nitpickers and jealous types.

Feng Yi isn’t afraid of these doubts.

First, the diamond was truly discovered there, and previously, he didn’t know there was such a big piece.

Second, he’s prepared.

Feng Yi posted a new update on social media, making a simple statement about this event, and said he would soon present the relevant proof.

Shortly after posting the update, Feng Yi received a call from Feng Chi.

Feng Chi had been on a filming job and had only sent Feng Yi a message during a break to ask if he had safely arrived home.

Feng Yi had reported his safe arrival after returning to the country.

Feng Chi calling now probably meant that he had finished his filming duties.

Feng Chi spoke with particular excitement, "Bro, you dug up a diamond! A huge blue diamond!"

Feng Yi, "It’s not that huge."

Compared to what our ancestors used to rub their feet, it’s nothing.

Feng Chi, "I heard it’s a blue diamond of very high quality! It could sell for a lot of money!"

Feng Yi, "I don’t know the current market price, and I’m not planning to sell."

Feng Chi, "Ahhh, can I go kiss that big diamond?! My star path will shine just like it!"

Feng Yi, "Better not, it’s... ahem, dug up from the ground."

Feng Chi didn’t care in the slightest, "So what if it is, it’s not like it was dug out of shit!"

Feng Yi, "..."

God knows what Feng Chi was thinking, or what news he had seen, because his voice rose again and his excitement reached a new level.

Feng Chi, "Bro! I heard you made a phone call and a hundred mercenaries came running!"

Feng Yi debunked the rumor, "You believe that too? That’s way too exaggerated, who started this rumor?! Also, I just paid for a security company’s services, and they didn’t have that many people!"

Feng Chi, "I heard one phone call from you brought in ten armed helicopters! So cool!!!!"

Feng Yi, "Who the hell is making up these stories! Only five of them were armed, and not heavily, plus most of the helicopters were rented by the security company, and they need to be returned after use, with me covering the rent."

Feng Chi, "I heard your trip back to the country was fraught with difficulty, and you even encountered a missile interception?!"

Feng Yi, ???

What missile?

What interception?

How come I don’t know about this?

"That’s not true!"

Feng Yi considered whether or not to debunk the rumors on social media.

Were the rumors this exaggerated?

Although the airplane was indeed equipped with a missile defense system, it was never used!

Feng Chi, "Bro, I heard you crushed that crime-involved mine owner! The guy was taught a really harsh lesson!"

Feng Yi, ???

Did Tama have bad luck?

So soon?

Although it was anticipated, I really didn’t do it!

That must be the local power struggles, right? Tama was just sacrificed.

Feng Yi seriously said, "It wasn’t me, I haven’t been following that mine owner’s movements at all."

At that moment, Feng Yi truly decided to debunk the rumors on social media as soon as possible!

At the filming site of a variety show, in the resting room.

Feng Chi was getting thrilled by the self-media news, imagining a whole lot of things with emotions spot-on.

Until Feng Yi debunked the rumors.

It seemed like things weren’t as sensational as they sounded.

But it was okay, no big deal.

In Feng Chi’s view, even if the marketers exaggerated, the events behind their stories were real, and the video of ten helicopters flying in the sky was real too!

My bro is so badass!

After finishing the call, Feng Chi asked the production team about the follow-up plans and confirmed that he could finally take a break for a few days after concluding a section of the work.

Feng Chi quickly packed his things.

Seeing this, the other artists asked, "Feng Chi, are you going on vacation? I heard you were planning to go up north the other day?"

Feng Chi, "No! I’m going home!"

One person said, "Are you not going on vacation then? How about we all go sing karaoke later?"

Feng Chi refused, "No, I need to rush back and cling to my brother’s coattails!"

That person shook their head and laughed, "Look at you, so lacking in ambition..."

Their words trailed off, as someone suddenly paused.

Wait? Isn’t Feng Chi’s brother in fact...

Wait a minute!

Take me with you—
