Chapter 329: Chapter 329 Public Opinion Hype

"A bunch of useless people, can’t even keep an eye on one person!"

Qin Lan cursed angrily, stood up in a fury, and paced back and forth in the room, anxiously clenching her hands, "Qiqiang’s detention time is almost up, and there’s not a single piece of dirt on Chen Dashan yet, he’s still alive and kicking out there. Zhao Ding, is this how you act as a father, how you give an explanation to your son?"

Zhao Ding’s face was dark.

Chen Dashan was indeed difficult to deal with. Not only was he smart and resourceful, but he also had County Magistrate Zhu backing him. Most crucially, ordinary thugs and assassins were no match for Chen Dashan, which caused Zhao Ding a great headache.

"Just now, you were bragging about having a plan. Hmph, now the hostage is gone, Zhao Ding, don’t you feel ashamed?"

"I’m embarrassed on your behalf!" Qin Lan rolled her eyes at Zhao Ding, walked into the dressing room, and began removing her nightgown to change clothes.

Watching Qin Lan’s fair and smooth body, Zhao Ding frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Obviously, I need to figure something out. Leaving things to you, how can I be at ease?"

Qin Lan said while quickly putting on clothes and grabbing her handbag to head out. Watching his wife all dressed up, Zhao Ding said helplessly, "During this period, we need to be more discreet and low-profile. Otherwise, I’m afraid..."

Before he could finish, Qin Lan glared at him contemptuously, "Hesitating before taking action, can you even call yourself a man?"

"You don’t need to worry about anything else, just cooperate with me."

Qin Lan finished speaking and walked out with a cold face.

...

Inside Chen Dashan’s villa.

The villa covered a large area, and the living room was spacious. Han Yifei sat on the sofa accompanying Zhou Hui.

Looking at the tall, enchanting, and charismatic Han Yifei, Zhou Hui instantly felt a bit dwarfed. She occasionally turned her head to sneak a peek at Han Yifei, and when Han Yifei looked over, Zhou Hui forced an awkward smile and said, "Miss Han, are you feeling bored?"

"Eat, eat some fruit. Dashan will be back in a while. How about I turn on the TV for you?"

Han Yifei raised a hand, just about to say there was no need to be so polite.

Zhou Hui had already stood up, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV mounted on the wall. With the electronic sounds, the atmosphere in the living room instantly changed, becoming lively and less awkward. Zhou Hui smiled and sat back down next to Han Yifei, just about to say something to break the ice.

"Recently, the owner of Chenwang Pharmaceutical has been accused of a rape case and has been interviewed by the police..."

The host’s accurate and clear voice came from the TV, Zhou Hui froze for a moment and turned her head towards the TV program.

The host continued, "This incident is of great significance, being the first major project in our county’s campaign against gang crimes. Faced with evil forces, Furong County must have firm resolve and thoroughly implement upper-level directives, not letting a single person who endangers the public go."

The footage showed Chen Dashan being taken away by a police car.

The host’s voice continued, with many netizens commenting on the screen: "Rural bullies can’t be ignored. In our village, it’s the same. The authorities are distant and can’t control it, causing many people to leave their homes."

"It’s time to take strict actions, or else these people will act unruly..."

"I think Chen Dashan looks quite handsome, doesn’t seem like a rapist."

"Should criminals have their crimes stamped on their foreheads? All his actions have been exposed, yet you feel sorry for the criminals because they look handsome. I really don’t understand how some people think..."

"How else do you think such a young person could have accumulated so many assets? Thorough investigation, they must thoroughly investigate!"

"I’m a live streamer, I have a part to play in promoting this kind of positive energy event!"

Seeing the overwhelming barrage of comments, Zhou Hui was dumbfounded.

Han Yifei frowned, pushing up the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose, realizing that Zhao Ding’s side was leveraging media tactics to start creating momentum. If this matter wasn’t properly resolved, it would affect Chen Dashan’s reputation and credibility.

"Miss Han, this..." Zhou Hui looked troubled. In her limited understanding, anything that made it to TV was a big deal.

Seeing Zhou Hui’s anxious and worried look, Han Yifei consoled her, "It’s okay, they don’t have concrete evidence now, and the person involved hasn’t appeared yet. Everything is just speculation. Chen Dashan and I will figure something out, everything will be fine."

Zhou Hui nodded repeatedly.

"Dong dong..."

"Dong dong dong..."

Before they could finish speaking, there was a sudden knock at the door. Zhou Hui quickly got up and turned her head to look. She saw Chen Dashan and Wu Hongling bringing in a large group of people from outside, many of whom were injured.

Zhou Hui’s pupils contracted, and she hurriedly ran forward, "Dashan, are you okay?"

"Are you hurt?"

"I’m fine. Sister-in-law, find some clean clothes quickly." Chen Dashan ordered, and only then did Zhou Hui notice the woman Chen Dashan was supporting. Her hair was disheveled; a foul smell emanated from her body, and her face and body were covered with bruises and swelling, looking very disheveled. Recognizing the face, Zhou Hui’s eyes widened, "Zhao Yaqian, that’s Zhao Yaqi!"

"I’ll go get the clothes, I’ll go now."

Upon hearing Zhao Yaqian’s name, Han Yifei stood up, scrutinizing the woman Chen Dashan was supporting. She smiled confidently, "Now that she’s in our hands, no one will believe any more of Zhao Ding’s fabrications."

Chen Dashan handed Zhao Yaqian over to Wu Hongling.

"Clap clap!" Chen Dashan clapped his hands and said, "That old fox Zhao Ding. By not showing his face, nothing is linked to him. Even if we clear our names, it can only be said that Li Xiaobao made a false report, having nothing to do with him at all. He’s quite cunning."

Han Yifei and Chen Dashan began discussing their next steps.

Zhou Hui took Wu Hongling to get Zhao Yaqian cleaned and treated. Chen Dashan’s villa was considered the safest place at the moment, with Feiyun Villa and Peng Hu’s best fighters all stationed around the villa to ensure 24-hour security. As long as Zhao Yaqian stayed home, there would be no problems.

Chen Dashan and Han Yifei discussed for a while but still couldn’t find any leverage on Zhao Ding.

"Buzz buzz!"

"Buzz buzz buzz..." At that moment, Chen Dashan’s phone kept vibrating. He picked up the phone, looked at it, and then looked at Han Yifei, "I need to take this call. If you’re busy, you can head back first."

Han Yifei nodded.

Only then did Chen Dashan answer the call, preparing to head upstairs.

"Chen Dashan, I’m sorry. I already know about the rape case. I know my dad won’t let you go, but I didn’t expect him to use such methods." On the other end of the line, Zhao Leyao spoke helplessly.

Chen Dashan laughed, "This has nothing to do with you. You are you, Zhao Ding is Zhao Ding."

"I...actually, I knew about this a few days ago, and I know where the plaintiffs who reported with you earlier are." Zhao Leyao said softly.

Chen Dashan’s eyes changed.

He immediately said, "Where are you now? I’ll come find you right away."
