Chapter 697: Chapter 449: New Tag_3

"Just one car? I’ll send two more to take you back to the hotel. Don’t refuse, I need them to handle some things over there anyway, it’s on the way."

After Feng Yi left, Uncle Bao thought about how Feng Yi had offended people today, and the kid seemed so carefree. He picked up the phone and asked the hotel to take extra care of him.

Sigh, why does this kid seem a bit foolish?

How did the butler raise him?

Feng Yi was unaware of how Uncle Bao had judged him. When he got back to the hotel, he started to follow the online public opinion.

The media was excited and active, digging up the identities of the people involved swiftly.

The man in the wolf fur coat was flamboyant in his actions, so he wasn’t hard to identify.

As for Feng Yi, the recent Blue Diamonds incident hadn’t been forgotten by many, and with Feng Yi just coming out of an exchange event with video leakage, there were bound to be capable people quickly matching his identity.

Once the identities of both parties were confirmed, things got even livelier.

Both sides are wealthy!

Both have complex backgrounds!

That’s great, haha!

The media, ecstatic like sharks smelling blood, frenziedly wanted to bite off a big piece of meat.

That trendy man in the wolf fur, what he said to Feng Yi wasn’t just big talk.

He was indeed wealthy, with some noble background, and he had relatives who were political figures in N City, with many people now running around for him.

In N City, if it were a trivial matter, he could indeed walk into the N City police station and walk out shortly after.

But this time was different. The joint protection bureau was different too.

With all the evidence laid bare, the N City branch of the joint protection bureau wasn’t going to let this slide easily.

After the identity expose, the ’gang’ label on Feng Yi seemed a bit more justified, with all sorts of speculation.

Some said that Feng Yi must have been plotting with gang figures before that.

In response to such rumors, the people from the joint protection bureau’s library in N City even posted an update on social media, proving that Feng Yi had been in their library the whole time and hadn’t been involved in any messy matters!

However, this clarification didn’t catch much attention. Those who noticed it didn’t bother to share it much either.

The clickbait accounts wouldn’t share it before they had their fill of traffic.

It was okay before the identities were disclosed, but once the other person involved in the incident was revealed to be Feng Yi, media instantly turned to social networks in China.

The ’gang’ label discussed on Feng Yi was actually believed by many.

For example, Jin Li, who had attended the Mingyao auction and ridden in Feng Yi’s car, now totally believed certain rumors.

Not surprising at all, really not surprising!

It makes sense!

Playing both sides! What’s there to be surprised about?!

The investigation is still ongoing, and no official, detailed report has been released yet.

Feng Yi needs to cooperate with the N City branch office for parts of the process and details, so he can’t talk about them right now.

In N City, Feng Yi is considered a ’foreigner,’ which puts him at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion. Considering the different style of media here, which may even boldly dispute with the joint protection bureau, and entangle the interests of certain figures, the media starting their narratives from some tricky angles indeed makes them difficult to deal with.

Let Yi prepare for it.

Feng Yi expected a lot of messy discussions, but oddly enough, the next day, he saw local news and newspapers using precise language in their reports, heavily criticizing the trendy man’s poaching and illegal wearing of wildlife products. The reports ended with a series of calls to action and positive messages.

No matter how different the writing styles of the major media were, in general, they all carried the same content.

There were indeed frivolous guesses and jokes about Feng Yi himself, but Feng Yi didn’t care about those. What puzzled him was the subtle stance of the mainstream media in N City regarding this matter.

Uncle Bao didn’t have that kind of influence.

This wasn’t the usual style of the joint protection bureau.

Nor did Feng Yi believe he had the capability, in such a short amount of time, to influence the mainstream media of a foreign metropolis to have such a united front!

However, to many onlookers, this solidified the speculation that Feng Yi came from ’big capital’ and was playing ’both sides.’

How awesome!

I underestimated you!

Having such influence in a foreign land!

Feng Yi: "..."

I didn’t! I’m not!

He couldn’t clear up this matter and was puzzled himself.

Yi was investigating and had found some clues. But before he could get in touch with Yi, he received a call from Geng.

Geng was calling Feng Yi not because he had been following the situation in N City closely, but because while focusing on another matter, there had been developments connected to N City.

"The reason why the mainstream media in N City suddenly have a unified tone may be due to the current sensitive period. It is not because of that meteorological conference in N City but rather considerations from a higher level, bigger strategic considerations!"

Yue Gengyang said solemnly:

"The butterfly’s wings may be about to flutter."
