Chapter 429: Settle It Once and for All
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huo Jinyan knew about what happened online before Lu Ning did.
His people had specially created a program that would send an update to Huo Jinyan’s phone once any popular posts about Lu Ning surfaced on the Internet.
Huo Jinyan was still adapting to his new residence. Everything was new, so he was still not used to it and had not slept well last night.
He did not know if it was because he had something on his mind, or because he was not used to the new environment.
He sat on the sofa for a long time in the morning. When he came back to his senses, it was already ten o’clock. He did not bring his phone out from the bedroom, so he went back to the bedroom to look for it.
The moment he retrieved his phone, he opened it and looked at the messages on it. The first thing he saw was the trending message about Lu Ning.
Huo Jinyan frowned slightly and tapped it.
Immediately, he saw a Weibo post about that.
He tapped on the video and listened to the audio.
Then, he saved the video and sent it to the company’s public relations department.
The public relations department was stunned when they suddenly received the Young Master’s message. When they finally understood what was going on, they were floored.
Just…
What’s going on?
Is this some female celebrity?
While everyone was still in a daze, the manager of the public relations department was already replying to the message.
[President Huo, are you sure what is mentioned in this audio isn’t true?]
Huo Jinyan: [I’m certain.]
[President Huo, I have a few suggestions for clarifying the rumors. Please take a look…]
After he listed out a few suggestions, Huo Jinyan was still unsatisfied. No matter which measures they took, they did not seem to fundamentally undermine this rumor about Lu Ning, and could only temporarily salvage her reputation; if it were to be brought up again in the future, it was very likely that she would still be criticized.
Huo Jinyan did not reply for a long time, so the other party thought that he was considering which measures to roll out. After all, every one of them was useful.
After a while, Huo Jinyan replied: [Settle it once and for all.]
The group of people were stunned again.
If they wanted to prove that such groundless rumors were fake, the people in question would have to come out personally to clarify it. However, who would step out and have themselves suffer such humiliation?
Moreover, even if they came out to clarify, some people would think that they had been threatened or paid off.
As it stands, there was no way this matter could be completely resolved. [President Huo, do you have any critical evidence?]
Huo Jinyan frowned. Then, he got someone to investigate which media outlet this blogger was from; after finding out the exact location of this media company, he followed the clues to find out who had been at the school gate recently with the intention of interviewing Lu Ning.
That was because there was a bit in the audio that said that they wanted to talk to a teacher. That meant that these two had been intercepted by media reporters at the school gate, because he, her form teacher, had never been visited any parents who came to complain.
Huo Jinyan’s men quickly found out about the few reporters who had been to No. 1 High School recently. They even found two reporters who belonged to the company, ‘The Tabloid Knows’, from the surveillance footage.
However, at the same time, not only did the tabloids know about this media outlet on Weibo, but there were also four other media bloggers who posted this audio about Lu Ning after ten o’clock.
Two of these four did not have the audio processed; instead, the original soundtrack was published.
Now, be it those who were simply watching the show or those who were actively partic.i.p.ating in it, they were all dumbfounded.
What’s going on?
Five bloggers breaking the news at the same time?
What’s more, it’s all the same thing.
Are the five media outlets conspiring together to defeat Lu Ning?
For a moment, it seemed that the credibility of this matter had risen to another level..
