Chapter 698: Chapter 450: Who Is It?_1

Yi’s findings were about the same as the news Geng brought.

It indeed came from higher-level pressure, or one might say, an order.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. Only high-level enforcement pressure could make the mainstream media in N City sing from the same hymn sheet.

Feng Yi wasn’t so narcissistic as to think all this was for him.

Just as Geng said, the butterfly’s wings had begun to flutter. During this sensitive period, in order to push forward the subsequent plan, any events that could stir public opinion needed to be handled with a firm attitude.

He then recalled the butler’s speculations.

Once the butterfly’s wings began to flutter, the invitations would start to be sent out.

What decision should I make?

In his heart, Feng Yi already had an answer.

Of course, the public’s discussions on this matter were far from over, with one extravagant guess after another concerning Feng Yi. One couldn’t keep up with the debunking.

It was indeed hard to explain the situation clearly, and because of this, all sorts of denials and clarifications seemed to have no significant effect.

Some burdens Feng Yi had to shoulder.

Only when the butterfly plan was truly exposed one day, could he clarify this matter.

However, by the time that day arrived, the labels attached to Feng Yi might become even more complex.

Due to the incident with the man in the wolf pelt coat, the planned return time had been postponed by two days.

Apart from going to the Joint Security Bureau for some investigation cooperation, Feng Yi had been staying in the hotel, not going out.

There were many reporters outside, and it was easy to be blocked when leaving.

That day, Feng Yi had just returned to the hotel from the Joint Security Bureau as evening fell and was preparing to have dinner when he encountered Uncle Bao who was about to leave.

When Uncle Bao saw Feng Yi, his furrowed brow relaxed.

The moment he saw Feng Yi, he thought of the strange behavior of N City’s main media these past two days.

Online, there was a burst of fervent praise, lauding that for once, the media of N City had collectively acted with integrity.

Uncle Bao didn’t believe it one bit!

What a joke, since when were N City’s media ever so upright?! Looking at their reports, with the precision of the wording, one would think they were watching some international political news! Even with international news, there would be various angles of teasing and personal bias infused, and when necessary, a spar with experts.

Uncle Bao had been toyed with by the media in N City many times; he knew their nature all too well. It was all business, a matter of money, and not just about money.

But with Feng Yi’s incident this time, such a unified tone was truly miraculous.

Initially, his first reaction upon seeing the news coverage was: Did the butler make his move?

Then, he denied it.

Even if the butler did make a move, it wouldn’t reach this extent.

The old man is quite powerful and very mysterious, but not to the extent that he could influence this level so rapidly.

He couldn’t figure out the reason, couldn’t see through it.

Not having received any reliable information, even Uncle Bao thought there seemed to be some truth to those online speculations, on top of an existing layer of filtering...

Is this what being authentically of the Feng Clan means?

Impressive, very impressive!

"Uncle Bao," Feng Yi came over to greet.

"You’re just having dinner now?" Uncle Bao appeared very amiable.

"Just got back from the N City branch of the Joint Security Bureau. What brings Uncle Bao to the hotel?" Feng Yi asked.

"I’m here to meet a friend," Uncle Bao said.

Feng Yi didn’t probe further; he glanced at the people following Uncle Bao.

The individuals he saw when he had dinner with Uncle Bao, who had somewhat abnormal emotional information that day, for some reason, were not accompanying Uncle Bao today.

Although Uncle Bao and his associates controlled their facial expressions well, according to genuine emotional information, their internal feelings were very intense, some positive and some negative.

These emotions were not directed at Feng Yi.

When Yi was checking on the media, he also looked into some of Uncle Bao’s matters, and Feng Yi knew that Uncle Bao’s company seemed to be somewhat unstable internally recently.

However, Uncle Bao wouldn’t discuss such matters with him, and Feng Yi wouldn’t speak more of them either.

Seeing Feng Yi today made Uncle Bao worry about him again.

"Be careful when you go out!"

"I know. I just stay at the hotel, not going anywhere else. As soon as I finish with the affairs at the Joint Security Bureau, I’ll head back to Yang City," Feng Yi said.

"That’s good! If you go out, make sure to bring more people. Lately, there are too many in N City who are paying attention to you."

Although Uncle Bao really wanted to chat more with Feng Yi, like why the mainstream media had such an attitude, he genuinely didn’t have the time now. His subordinate had just given him a gesture, indicating the time.

"I have an important meeting soon, going to see an old friend. We’ll have a chat next time we can!" Uncle Bao said.

"Sure, Uncle Bao, go ahead and take care of your business."

Feng Yi paused, and looking at the intense emotional information from Uncle Bao,

"Uncle Bao, you also be careful. Keep an extra eye out."

Hearing Feng Yi’s words, Uncle Bao couldn’t help but laugh, the kid was now looking out for him!

"I’m well aware, don’t worry about me," Uncle Bao said.

Uncle Bao, thinking of something, lifted his own heavy gold chain to show Feng Yi, letting him see the copper coin pendant attached to it. Half in jest, with a comforting tone,

"This will protect me."

This copper coin was a zodiac charm belonging to Uncle Bao himself, which he had once given to his daughter to wear. Later, when attending a clan temple ceremony in Yang City, and having met Feng Yi, Feng Yi had given a new zodiac charm to his daughter.

Afterwards, Uncle Bao wore his own zodiac charm again.

Feng Yi’s gaze swept over the zodiac charm and said, "It doesn’t have that kind of function." Don’t be overly superstitious!

"I know. But for me, it’s a belief," Uncle Bao said as he tucked the coin pendant back inside his collar.
