Chapter 285: Chapter 199 Beyond Visual Range Strike

[In recent days, the vaccine scandal involving Chang Chun Biological’s illegal and irregular production continued to ferment, quickly attracting widespread attention from domestic and international media and the public opinion.

It is reported that various provincial CDCs and vaccination units have urgently stopped using the company’s related products and immediately sealed them on site.

Zhongnanhai has been highly concerned about this and, after issuing a directive, has established a special investigation team to conduct an in-depth investigation of the matter.

Affected by this news, by the close of April 16th, the healthcare sector led the market decline, with Chang Chun Biological hitting the daily limit down...]

Meng Lang ate the fruit plate that Xiao Yu brought over with joy and excitement while pondering over the news broadcast on TV.

It had been over a week since he handed over the damaging information to Gao Yuan, and things were finally starting to ferment.

He felt somewhat relieved.

The grudge for his brother had finally been avenged...

He had been too busy these days to follow up on the progress after passing the matter to Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan was someone who liked to take matters into her own hands.

The two had always been doing their own things, and surprisingly, she had not even called to report back to him...

With such a capable assistant who could stand on her own, he didn’t need to work 996 or be available 24/7. This hands-off management was truly enjoyable...

However, he wondered how Gao Yuan had handled it. How much had she made from this wave? The storm had hit Chang Chun Biological, but what about the Xu Group? Was the ignition delayed?

In previous updates, it was mentioned that Gao Yuan had chosen Xu Bolin, a factor of instability within the Xu Group, probably intending to use him as a pawn.

However, it was a pity that though the hero’s blade was not old, the brave man’s spirit was in decline.

This blade... might break.

Heart disease?

Not early or late, but heart disease strikes at a critical moment—clearly, there’s something fishy!

Archie, the experienced detective, had said that it was very likely to be suffocation or electrical shock which was disguised as an accidental death.

Tsk tsk!

Could it be that they were ruthless enough to not spare even a younger brother?

The wealthy families could not ultimately escape the fate of Xuanwu Gate...

But Gao Yuan was truly a ruthless character.

It was just two pieces of dirt.

No idea how she played it, but it somehow led to the Xu brothers fighting against each other, causing fratricide.

Luckily, I turned an enemy into a friend by pulling her onto my chariot.

Such a talent, you have to weld the car door shut!

Although the recent updates haven’t been detailed, Changqing Biological and Mengshan Pasture, both managed by Gao Yuan, have always been Meng Lang’s main profit assets.

They’ve always provided him with the most important and continuous financial support, allowing him to execute various "plans" without any worries.

Indeed, behind every successful man, there’s a successful woman...

Meng Lang happily ate a piece of dragon fruit.

Then he watched as the serious news ended on TV, and the entertainment news began to play.

[Famous artist Wu Boxiu faced revelations from a lover, exposing that during their clandestine relationship, Wu Boxiu not only brainwashed her but was also suspected of having third, fourth, fifth, and sixth "others"...]

[Reporter: I heard that you’re not only a talented Ph.D. graduate from the Beijing Film Academy but you’ve also been accepted as a postdoctoral fellow at Yanjing University recently, a true academic overachiever!

Certain Celebrity: Hehe! I scored well above the cutoff for first-tier universities in the college entrance exam, with a total score of about 580 I guess, and about 270 for the liberal arts subjects? But I only got 19 in math; my skills in the other three subjects are very strong, almost full marks...]

Meng Lang instantly lost interest and gave Yan Weiwei, who kept not changing the channel, a strange look.

"Hey, don’t you usually binge-watch dramas? Why did you switch to news today?"

Yan Weiwei, who was watching TV with a pillow in her arms, looked up, gave him a glance, and ignored him.

"Uh..."

Meng Lang touched his nose.

His indiscreet actions seemed to have caused a bit too much of a drop in her Goodwill Value...

He wondered if she would still give him that ticket according to the script under these circumstances?

According to the book’s description, Yan Weiwei was expected to see his low spirits and invite him out with the intention of cheering him up.

But now...

My "Sorrow Value" might not meet the standard, but my "Gentleman Value" was indeed on the rise...

"Here! This is for you!"

"Uh..."

He looked at Yan Weiwei somewhat astonished.

"Don’t overthink it! This is an investment party organized by Mr. Bao, and since I ended up with an extra ticket from your investment advice..."

Yan Weiwei explained with an air of nonchalance, offering a seemingly reasonable explanation.

As Meng Lang took the ticket and looked at the extravagantly lit grand cruise ship printed on it, his face bore a slightly complex expression.

Fate had set off on a new path at this moment in time...

If it hadn’t been for his advice to Yan Weiwei to change her investment strategy, she might have just lost some money.

But after taking his advice, she ended up losing her life...

Thinking about the cruise ship tragedy that would occur in a couple of days gave Meng Lang an involuntary toothache.

All I did was take the opportunity to make a small investment in a movie, after all, a five-fold return in a year is nothing to scoff at, and I just so happened to have some spare cash on hand. After all, even the leg of a mosquito is meat, isn’t it?

Who would have thought such a minor change would impact Yan Weiwei’s entire life.

If Yan Weiwei hadn’t taken the bullet, it would have been him.

He had believed that a vessel with a displacement of 130,000 tons and over 3,000 passengers, comparable in scale to an aircraft carrier...

Such a behemoth of transportation wasn’t a bus or a plane; had there been a problem, what scale of disaster would that entail?

To top it off, their rescue equipment was supposed to be fully prepared...

Yet fate took an unexpected turn, placing three criminals on that ship.

In the end, he still fell victim to destiny despite his carelessness.

Sure, it might have been Yan Weiwei’s overly strong sense of justice that led to her downfall, but had he not foolishly ventured into an unpopulated area, he wouldn’t have stumbled upon the scene of a crime.

Looking at the ticket in his hand, Meng Lang’s face twisted with indecision.

So this time...

Should I go or not?

Logically speaking, it’s just the illegal sale of a relic. How big of a deal can it be?

There’s neither direct conflict of interest nor is it worth risking the trouble.

But...

"If I don’t go, are you still going?" Meng Lang asked tentatively.

Yan Weiwei was taken aback.

She didn’t understand why Meng Lang was asking such a strange question.

If you’re going, just go; if you’re not, then don’t. Why ask me whether I’m going or not?

With a snort, "I don’t care whether you go or not. You’re acting as if I’m going just because of you.

A single phone call from me, and you wouldn’t believe how many people are lining up..."

"Alright! I’ll go!"

Having said that, Meng Lang stood up and walked away without looking back.

Yan Weiwei: "..."

If you’re going, just go; no need for such a mournful look.

...

Back in his own room, Meng Lang sighed helplessly.

The breeze he had fanned was one that he, this little butterfly, had to fan back into place...

If he let Yan Weiwei board the ship alone,

What if she impulsively ventured into an unpopulated area and her sense of justice exploded once again? Would he not be powerless to help?

Criminals, don’t blame me.

This isn’t me neglecting my real job of saving the Earth to pick a fight with you.

It’s just that when you’re in the Jianghu, you can’t help yourself...

But since I’m going, I’ve got to strategize.

Risking danger is definitely not an option; I must be fully prepared.

He picked up his phone and began to contact Archie and Cheng Biao...

Illegal artifact trafficking... it really does call for strengthened cooperation between the police and the public.

Yeah! There’s a particular way of dealing with enemies that’s extremely safe.

It’s called "beyond-visual-range engagement"...
