Chapter 611 - Under the light

Translator: Thyaeria

After Liu Jianwei waited for roughly fifteen minutes, his phone lit up. He received a message from Bassoon, “Found a USB drive on Jiang Mingxuan.”

The result was smoother than he had imagined since Jiang Mingxuan still hadn’t gotten rid of the information that He Yu extracted and even brought it along with him.

Then again, Jiang Mingxuan was initially uncooperative, but under Bassoon’s interrogation, he submitted out of fear for his life. He admitted that he was the one behind Qihuang Charity Funds’ scandal, and at the same time, he promised that as long as they let him go, he would immediately get rid of all the scandals on the internet.

Evidently, Jiang Mingxuan regretted this moment. He always thought that he’s a ruthless person, and there were a bunch of people in Yangcheng and Xiangdu who could put their lives down for him. So all along, he had been the one threatening others, but he never expected that he would get a taste of being threatened.

As the saying goes, there was always someone better in the world. Jiang Mingxuan ultimately underestimated the complicity in the world. He could hire someone to murder He Yu, but he had underestimated Su Tao’s hidden forces that caught him by surprise.

If Jiang Mingxuan was prepared beforehand and arranged sufficient people to protect him without any chance for the enemy, it wouldn’t be easy for Liu Jianwei to accomplish his objective. After all, as the saying goes, even a dragon could not subdue a snake in its territory. However, Jiang Mingxuan underestimated Su Tao and paid the price. In the eyes of others, he’s the boss of Nanyue Province, and there wasn\'t anyone who could threaten him here.

Even his act of handing over the USB drive was because he had no choice but to submit. However, he was confident in his own capability and that even if the content in the USB drive went public, he could rely on his own connections in Nanyue Province to maintain his position.

Hence, he weighed his options. Since they wanted the information, then he’d give it to them and deal with them in the future when he recovers.

At this moment, Jiang Mingxuan was genuinely terrified. He had lived for so many years, and he knew the concept of knowing how to take a step back. After all, ten years was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Naturally, Liu Jianwei did not believe in Jiang Mingxuan’s words. He got Bassoon to send the USB drive to Xia Yu and determine if there\'s any worth in it.

Xia Yu soon replied that there were details of how the Love Representative Charity Funds and Jiang Mingxuan controlled a few other charity foundations for money laundering. If that data was revealed, it would destroy Jiang Mingxuan. At the same time, even Li Yede, the wealthiest tycoon in Huainan Province, would be implicated. With the information in this USB drive, Li Yede would be judged by the law and have a taste of prison life.

Patting Li Bing’s shoulder, Liu Jianwei smiled. “You’re a smart person who knows how to take a step back when necessary! If there’s a day when you’d like a change of scenery, you can come and look for me anytime.”

Looking at Liu Jianwei, Li Bing suddenly felt as if he had known this man for a long time.

He had also once experienced his life in the underground arena; hence, he knew about the Knife Demon.

Whenever the Knife Demon fights, he would be ferocious and attack as a means of defense. He would never give his opponent the chance to recover. All of a sudden, Li Bing was shocked when he realised that the man standing beside him was that Knife Demon. However, the current Knife Demon looked completely different from the violent and ferocious Knife Demon from the underground arena back then.

“You’re Knife Demon?!” Ling Bing looked at Liu Jianwei’s silhouette.

“My name is Liu Jianwei!” Liu Jianwei turned around and smiled. Although his genuine name wasn’t as terrifying as his nickname, his tone was confident when he spoke.

That’s because, right now, he walked under the light and no longer lived in darkness. Even if he’s still violent and would do anything to achieve his objective, his conscience was clear.

Chen Guang was the chief reporter for Nanyue’s City News.

He majored in digital control and worked in a factory for half a year. However, he realised that it wasn’t a job suitable for him. When he was still in university, he liked to write articles to comment on current politics. Hence, he tried his luck and applied for a newspaper. In the end, he was accepted; henceforth, he walked on the path of a reporter.

Being a reporter for so many years, his focus was different from others. Others would focus on the economy since they could interact with enterprises and expand their connections, not to mention that they could even take bribes. At the same time, it’s also beneficial for them when they change their career in the future. However, he only felt disdain for those since those reporters were slaves for money and wrote articles as if they’re writing advertisements. Those people were practically violating the gentlemen’s bottom line.

There were also many reporters in the entertainment circle that everyone loved. Furthermore, the entertainment circle had endless unspoken rules to the point that there were large numbers of news every day. However, he was also feeling disdain with those. He felt that as a reporter, it’s a complete waste of resources to place their attention on the entertainment circle. At the same time, they’re also misleading everyone’s system of values.

Cheng Guang was a political reporter and had a great reputation. However, he lived frugally and only earned about ¥5,000-6,000 a month. Even after he married his wife for so many years, they could only afford a second-handed apartment that only had 67 square meters. They only managed to pay off their bank loans last year. Truth be told, he had many opportunities to change his life, and there was even once an enterprise that looked for him with a bag containing ¥300,000 in cash. They requested him to remove an article that he wrote to expose the dark secret of food safety, but he rejected them.

All along, he had a clear conscience to expose the vile activities of society, trying to get rid of all the darkness.

However, this path was more difficult than he had imagined. Not only was he facing the possibility of his article being removed at any time, but he was also facing threats from all directions. There was even once when he received a threat against his entire family when he exposed them.

But despite that, Chen Guang maintained his clean conscience since he wanted to be different from other reporters.

Just half an hour ago, he received an unknown call and added the other party’s chat account. Soon after, the other party sent over a bunch of documents that left him shocked. If he really published this information, it would definitely send a shock wave to the entire country.

Xia Yu sat in a Toyota Highlander that was recently purchased. After his previous vehicle was destroyed in Qiongjin City, he bought this under the Three Flavour Hall’s name. Due to the fact that this belonged to the company, he could enjoy a certain extent of privileges.

Compared to a sedan, a highlander was more spacious. He’s wearing a bluetooth earpiece while tapped away on the keyboard. There’s a chat window opened where Xia Yu was currently chatting with a reporter, Cheng Guang. They’re discussing if the news could be released tomorrow.

Their conversation took more than an hour, which Chen Guang promised that he would immediately write out a manuscript. However, it wouldn’t be easy for such an article to be approved since it implicated the tycoon of Huainan Province as well as several major charity foundations. So there’s a high possibility that his superiors would reject his article.

“Mr. Chen, you’re someone with ideals and integrity. For so many years, you have had many opportunities to obtain China’s Most Outstanding News Award, but you were limited by your materials. This sort of news doesn’t involve the current politics, and it’s also meaningful. Furthermore, I even provided you complete data. As long as you can grasp this opportunity well, I can imagine that the honor will be yours this year.” Xia Yu instigated.

“I’ll try, but it will depend on luck if it can be published.” Chen Guang sighed before his computer. He wasn’t concerned with the award, but he felt that this article was meaningful. However, this article’s reach of influence was too great since it involved powers beyond his reach. This was also the greatest challenge that he faced since his career as a reporter.

Seeing that the other party no longer replied, Chen Guang closed the chat tool and started sorting through the materials. It was ampler than his imagination, and it even involved many dark secrets. Hence, it would definitely cause a shock wave in the society.

In fact, Xia Yu didn’t need to make much of an explanation since any reporter could smell the opportunity. This sort of news was extremely huge, and the moment it’s revealed, it would be a huge breakthrough for both him and the company.

Because the materials were sufficient, Chen Guang wrote a series of articles. Due to his professional practice, it only took an hour for him to finish writing a manuscript of 2,000 words. After checking through the article, he sent it over to the night shift editor, “Here’s an extremely urgent article. Can it be reported tomorrow morning?”

Chen Guang was one of the senior reporters in the company, and he’s qualified to have special treatment from the editor.

After the editor read through the article, he immediately gave a call to Chen Guang since he didn’t have any chat tools. He asked in a solemn voice, “Do you have any evidence for this article? If the other party launches a lawsuit against us, you might be in trouble.”

“Since I dare to write it, that naturally means that I have evidence as well. Can you help me get it done?” Chen Guang smiled.

Inwardly letting out a sigh, the editor weakly smiled. “Alright, but this sort of article will require a long procedure. It might even have to go through the chief editor. I’ll prepare a material to replace it in case it gets rejected and put the company in an awkward situation.”

“Thank you!” Chen Guang sincerely replied.

“Truthfully speaking, I’m in expectation about it as well. I also hope that the chief editor can also bear the pressure and expose all the dark secrets.” The editor smiled.

“If our company refuses to publish this, then I can only send the materials to other platforms. I’ve decided that there must be a media outlet with a righteous voice for the public and pressure those vile people with controversy.” Chen Guang calmly replied.

After Xia Yu chatted with Chen Guang, he sent a threatening message to those reporters that tried to make things difficult for Su Tao at the press conference.

“I have evidence of you guys receiving bribes to falsify the truth. If you wish to avoid being investigated, remove the article today. Otherwise, you will be facing the judgment of the law tomorrow.”

Xia Yu even included evidence of his research along with bank statements.

It\'s impossible for ordinary people to find such things, but for an experienced ‘detective’ like Xia Yu, this was nothing.
