Chapter 661 - Mastermind (1/2)

Half a day had passed ever since that piece of controversial news appeared suddenly in the national television news and got deleted swiftly.

Before the public could even speculate, another controversial news was aired in every news channel and social media platforms that made everyone from the industry insiders to the public mass of people take their eyes off from Guan family's scandal.

It was a huge scandal of a politician involving bribery and corruption, backed up with suffient evidence.

Every citizen of a country would always be concerned on any news of blatant large-scale corruption in their own government. Although many intellectuals felt that the issue seemed to have been made viral in purpose, they only assumed that perhaps it was the work of the politician's enemies.

Every social platform talked about this politician and cursed him with sky-high buildings of condemnation.

This successfully covered up the light of the identity fraud scandal.

Thus giving the Guan Empire and the person involved a breather.

*****

The mastermind behind the Guan chairman's sudden identity fraud scandal was currently in the chairman's floor of IHZHI.

After making a phone call, Linfeng returned to Xiong Zhi's office.

”How was it?” Xiong Zhi looked up from the doc.u.ments she was handling and asked the man who entered the room.

”As expected, the news got deleted immediately from both national news and online communities. People now only talked about this corrupted politician.” Linfeng shrugged. ”They acted fast. Coupled with the Guan Empire siding with Guan Gao Huan, it's a given that people will soon forget this matter today and dismiss it as fake news. The Guan Empire had spoken already after all. He had won the succession, so it won't be easy to let people believe the news. ”

Xiong Zhi nodded, put down her pen, and massaged her brows. ”That's still alright. Our goal this time is to only plant suspicion about Guan Gao Huan's identity. For sure, Guan Gu Ri and the others will investigate the evidences. Then they will come to learn soon how little they really know about their brother Guan Gao Huan who lived abroad.”

When that happened, the Guan family would start to question Guan Gao Huan.

She narrowed her eyes. ”They might even check his eyes out of desperation.”

Linfeng walked over to Xiong Zhi, put his hands on her sore temples, and gently massaged in circles.

”It is your strategy so I have no complaints. This is really not my forte. Are you sure you don't want to cut off Gunan immediately? Why play with him?”

Linfeng really wanted to handle this matter entirely and put an end to it. He had his own selfishness, he just did not want his girlfriend's eyes to be polluted by the shitty Gunan.

Linfeng suggested to attack all at once and to not give Gunan a breather.

If it was him, Gunan who was posing as Guan Gao Huan would be arrested in the Guan Empire on the same day that he succeeded the Guan Empire. Then Linfeng would reveal everything and let Gunan enjoy the feeling of the whole nation condemning him.

Xiong Zhi shook her head. Her long phoenix eyes deepened with chill.

”I might be slow, but killing him slowly is more satisfying. I want him to taste how a fish in a dirty tank lives. I want him to live in desperation and think that he still got a chance. I want him to hope desperately, so I can smash down that hope. He just fell down from the pedestal. That is not enough for me.”

”.....”

Linfeng could feel Xiong Zhi's killing intent. He remembered the things she had told him.

After everything that had happened, Linfeng had long been convinced. After all, the coincidences were too much.

Ming Zhi Yi and Guan Gao Huan's connection, the economic turmoil, the schemes against the legendary families, the Lu family, the father and daughter Xiong De and Xiong Wuyue....

If there was a past life or rebirth, then it must be it.

His beloved woman had suffered too much under that Gunan's hands. Although her body was spared from it all in this life, the scars would not be removed so easily.

Linfeng's eyes flashed darkly.

Although he had wanted to immediately put that man into jail, he too did not plan to end it so quickly.

Once Gunan was jailed, he would play with the sc.u.m and let the person suffer in prison so much that Gunan would beg them for death instead. He would experience worst than Xiong De's prison experience.

Linfeng closed his eyes for a moment and restrained the intense murderous intent that was seeping out.

He did not want Xiong Zhi to find out that he was much, much crueler than she could ever imagine.
