Chapter 1174: Chapter 1154: If You Dare, Hit Me

Reporters swarmed into the room, their cameras aimed at Lin Ke, frantically taking photos and recording videos.

The flashing lights were dazzling and blinding.

A group of people pushed their microphones and voice recorders directly to Lin Ke’s mouth.

Countless questions crashed over her like waves.

"Miss Lin, there have been reports suggesting you tried to manipulate public opinion with money to cover up major issues in the Qinggang Yunhe project. How do you respond to this?"

"Miss Lin, some say you abused your authority in this project by arranging internal favours to gain large kickbacks. What do you have to say about that?"

"Miss Lin, what purpose does the money on the table serve? Why specifically choose a cash transaction? Does it involve financial crime?"

...

These reporters bombarded her with questions, giving Lin Ke no time to think or respond.

It seemed they wanted to drown Lin Ke in a sea of skepticism!

Anyway, as long as they got the photos and videos, the content...

Their company’s well-paid writers could handle it, without needing her to say anything.

Isn’t there a saying online?

Start with a picture, fabricate the rest...

For local and private media companies, traffic and hot topics are their relentless pursuits.

Professional ethics? Non-existent.

Moreover, these people were all "own people" brought by Pi Dalei.

Lin Ke, without uttering a word, angrily glared with eyes wide open, just giving Pi Dalei a glance then stared fiercely at Gong Shuangyu standing at the door.

Gong Shuangyu smiled and looked back at Lin Ke.

His face no longer showed signs of timidity or anxiety, but comfort, satisfaction, and even a bit of smugness.

Officer Lin Ke, she had a certain reputation back at the headquarters.

Initially, he had even investigated her for issues related to the accounts, being quite strict.

Well, how about that, now she’s fallen into his hands!

Gong Shuangyu’s smile was relaxed.

...

Lin Ke clenched her fists.

Normally, she would rush over and beat Gong until he couldn’t be recognized. But facing the cameras and the media, even though she knew they weren’t genuinely fair, using force was the last thing she could do at this moment.

"Miss Lin, we heard that all these actions of yours were instigated by your superior, a person named Bai Xiaosheng, and that you were coerced into obedience. Is that true?" Suddenly, a reporter asked this question.

The question struck like a thunderbolt, awakening Lin Ke.

She abruptly turned her head to look at the reporter.

Caught off guard, the reporter flinched but his eyes sparked with intrigue, pushing his microphone a bit forward.

He waited again, hoping Lin Ke would say even a word or even curse at him!

Unfortunately, Lin Ke, on the verge of exploding, forcefully restrained herself, looking towards Pi Dalei sitting opposite.

Pi Dalei, with a face full of flesh, overflowed with smiles; the hands adorned with golden rings and jade thumb rings, clutching a cigar, inhaled deeply and blew a smoke ring in Lin Ke’s direction, casually waving the document Lin Ke had signed.

It did not need any thought.

All these so-called journalists’ questions, the "evidence" was in this document.

Contracts, involving legal terms, are often too professional and many business owners may not fully comprehend them. They usually bring their trusted lawyers to check, barely glancing over it themselves.

This time, Gong Shuangyu, being one of their own, expressly stated that the contract was drafted by his side and checked by lawyers.

Pi Dalei didn’t even look before signing.

All this left Lin Ke, mentally and physically drained, mistaken and led into a trap.

Even if Lin Ke had checked, the dense files interspersed with problematic clauses would be extremely difficult to detect.

Of course, once signed, it was signed.

No amount of regret or excuses could mend the situation!

With Lin Ke’s personal signature, it became "ironclad" evidence.

Even if Mr. Xiahou Qi, the president, wanted to shield Lin Ke, faced with the evidence, what could he do!

In time—

The media secretly arranged by Shen Peisheng from the outside would relentlessly focus on this issue.

Inside, people arranged by Shen Peisheng would continuously "advise," urging Mr. Xiahou Qi to take strict actions.

Countless eyes from other parties are closely monitoring the situation, seeking maximum profit.

Xiahou Qi is also "helpless"!

Furthermore, if the impact of this matter were limited to a directly controlled subsidiary of a group, it would be bearable.

The key issue is the negative impact on the reputation of the Affairs Department and even the Greater China Region Headquarters, which would be severe!

Should it come to that, even Mr. Xiahou Qi might not be able to escape questioning from the headquarters.

In the end, public opinion is indeed terrifying!

Once exploited, it becomes a mighty weapon capable of annihilating gods and buddhas!

Caught on the edge of an outbreak, Lin Ke was awakened by the journalist’s remark.

Such a grand scheme could not solely target a mere Affairs Officer!

And Bai Xiaosheng should not be involved in this trouble.

The fact that the journalist knew Bai Xiaosheng’s name and entangled him was no coincidence!

It was inevitable.

This was a rhythm to tarnish Bai Xiaosheng!

"They are not targeting me alone, they are targeting Bai Xiaosheng!" Lin Ke, immensely intelligent, instantly came to this realization.

At the same time, it made her shudder.

Did the other party know that Bai Xiaosheng was in Nandu?!

Such timing, such means...

And with Gong Shuangyu, the "insider’s" cooperation, making one exhausted and less vigilant...

Each move locks tightly into the next, forming a terrifying layout!

It seems only Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng, whom Bai Xiaosheng has always been dealing with, would have the capability to do so!

Key point, Wu Media Group is not a corporate enterprise, but has it been bought by Shen Peisheng’s side?!

Lin Ke stared at Pi Dalei, this greasy middle-aged man.

To say, to take down a Senior Affairs Officer with just one event and a wave of public opinion attacks, that’s underestimating the existence of a Senior Affairs Officer.

But, just as a thousand-mile dyke is ruined by an ant hole.

A breach is opened on a solid dam.

Then one side seizes this opportunity, desperately wreaking havoc, expanding their victories, eventually leading to the dyke’s collapse, which is not surprising!

What Bai Xiaosheng will face may be countless exploitations and plotting.

By then, he will be deeply mired in a vortex of troubles, struggling to free himself is one thing, at the very least he will be utterly worn out, and might even...

Really collapse!

"Mr. Pi, I want to talk to you, how about that?" Lin Ke stared at Pi Dalei and earnestly asked.

Although she knew that breaking through from Pi Dalei, from Wu Media Group was extremely difficult, Lin Ke still wanted to give it a try.

Even if there was only a slight chance!

Pi Dalei, with a leisurely and effortless pose, exhaled a cloud of smoke and chuckled, "Talk about what, our collaboration? Sure, I was blinded by lard and made a mistake, I can still handle that responsibility. Miss Lin, do you also admit your own mistake?"

Beside him, many Wu Family reporters brightened their eyes, quickly stretching their recording pens forward, many scribbling hastily on their notebooks, apparently finding a "news angle".

"Nothing to talk about?" Lin Ke stared at Pi Dalei, clenching her fist.

"What? Are you going to hit me? Use your tiny fists to pound on my chest, or are you going to snatch my stuff?" Pi Dalei laughed and said.

It seems he is not prepared to talk!

Lin Ke sighed inwardly.

Right, if he were really bought by Shen Peisheng’s side, she had no bargaining chip to make him reconsider.

Lin Ke, expressionless, directly pushed through the encirclement of reporters towards the door.

Staying any longer was meaningless, better to quickly inform Bai Xiaosheng and Xiahou Qi.

Numerous recording pens, cameras, video cameras followed her route, Lin Ke maintaining her composure expressionlessly as she walked.

"This young lady is impressive, still composed under such circumstances, is this the standard for Zhenbei Group’s Affairs Officers!"

Even Pi Dalei exclaimed in admiration.

As Lin Ke reached the door, Gong Shuangyu stood there, chuckling and whispering to her, "In front of the camera, Officer Lin didn’t act rashly, a very smart move."

Gong Shuangyu’s smile carried a provocative look, his eyes conveying a forthcoming message—

How does it matter that you’re an Affairs Officer, I’ve undercut you, what can you do in front of the camera!

I heard you, Lin Ke, are quite the fighter, come on, try hitting me!
