Guo Jianrong would never have imagined, even in death, that the grave he was meticulously digging was by the hands of the very cemetery caretaker he disdained!
Even before Guo Jianrong arrived, Lu Ming had already contacted Xiu Luo, the Five-Star Warlord, and ordered him to thoroughly investigate Guo Jianrong's background. Subsequently, he mobilized national television stations to simultaneously broadcast his misdeeds.
This led to the scene unfolding now.
Not only Guo Jianrong, but the other three individuals who had colluded with him in wicked deeds also failed to escape. They were all exposed at this very moment.
Those three, with their weak mental fortitude, collapsed onto the ground.
Witnessing such a bizarre turn of events, Jiang Mengxin was the first to be stunned. She too, pulled out her phone to check. Upon seeing the flood of negative news about Guo Jianrong and his accomplices, she became restless.
"How could this happen? It's unbelievable." Jiang Mengxin found the situation incredibly strange.
Guo Jianrong, who had always controlled the media and "killed" with his pen, was now being "killed" by the media, backstabbed by those he once manipulated.
It was truly ironic.
"Hahaha!" Jiang Mengxin let out a couple of hearty laughs, pocketed her phone, and taunted Guo Jianrong, "You mongrel, this is your day!"
Jiang Mengxin, who had been subservient moments ago, now stood tall and confident.
With Guo Jianrong's misdeeds exposed, his threats held no weight.
As expected.
Before Jiang Mengxin could continue her tirade, the door to the VIP room opened, and a group of police officers entered.
The leading officer produced an arrest warrant and declared, "Guo Jianrong, you are suspected of illegal activities. You are now under arrest!"
Immediately, the officers stepped forward with handcuffs.
Guo Jianrong was arrested on the spot. The reporter, editor, and makeup artist also did not escape; all were apprehended.
The four individuals who had been smug and arrogant just ten minutes prior, were now all prisoners.
After the police departed.
Jiang Mengxin remained in a state of shock, unable to extricate herself for a long time.
She pinched her own face, confirming she was not dreaming.
"It's too bizarre."
"The Jiang family's reputation crisis, resolved so easily? Guo Jianrong apprehended so simply?"
"Who exactly helped me?"
Jiang Mengxin could not fathom who had aided her, but Jiang Lan already had an answer in her heart.
Jiang Lan glanced at Lu Ming, knowing very well that it must have been Lu Ming who used some extraordinary means to deal with Guo Jianrong.
Ever since long ago, Jiang Lan had noticed Lu Ming's unusual nature.
Driving luxury cars, living on Celestial Island, repeatedly helping the Jiang family overcome difficulties, and being the highly recommended assistant by the late Patriarch Jiang – under such accumulated circumstances, it was destined that Lu Ming was no ordinary person.
Yet, even with her sharp intellect, Jiang Lan could not fathom Lu Ming's true identity.
She mused silently: Lu Ming, who exactly are you? To possess such immense power as to mobilize national television stations. One day, I will uncover your true identity!
Compared to Jiang Lan, Jiang Mengxin was far more obtuse.
She considered name after name, yet failed to consider that Lu Ming might be the one who helped her.
After all, in Jiang Mengxin's eyes, Lu Ming was merely a useless cemetery caretaker.
At this moment, an urgent phone ringing broke the silence within the room.
Ring ring ring~~
It was Lu Ming's phone.
He took out his phone and glanced at it; it was Xiu Luo calling. Xiu Luo would not typically call unless there was an urgent matter.
Lu Ming answered immediately.
On the other end, Xiu Luo said only one sentence: "There is intelligence that needs to be reported to you in person."
Lu Ming hung up the phone and said to the Jiang sisters, "An old friend has invited me to dinner. I must take my leave. My apologies."
With that, he strode out of the VIP room.
Only the Jiang sisters remained in the room.
In truth.
The resolution of today's matter was rather peculiar, and Lu Ming himself exuded an aura of abnormality.
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Mengxin would have paid attention to Lu Ming.
But precisely.
At this moment, Jiang Mengxin's attention was entirely fixated on Jiang Lan, completely overlooking Lu Ming.
The Jiang family's reputation issues were resolved, but the emotional entanglement between the Jiang sisters had intensified!
For the first time in over twenty years, Jiang Mengxin felt a sense of dislike towards Jiang Lan.
Today, not only had Jiang Lan publicly insulted Jiang Mengxin, but she had also demonstrated talents superior to Jiang Mengxin's, which greatly displeased Jiang Mengxin.
Dislike, jealousy.
Concurrently, Jiang Lan's gaze towards her elder sister had also changed.
It was no longer innocent.
Jiang Lan saw Jiang Mengxin's true colors – this elder sister was morally corrupt, resorting to any means to achieve her goals, not much better than their uncle, Jiang Anzhi.
The rift between the sisters widened.
The two sisters exchanged glances.
Although not a word was spoken, they both knew what the other was thinking.
After all, they were sisters for over twenty years; their tacit understanding remained.
After a long, long while.
Jiang Lan spoke, "I still have matters to attend to, I must leave."
Jiang Mengxin did not reply, quietly watching Jiang Lan depart the VIP room.
She looked at Jiang Lan's retreating back and, for the first time, felt a sense of estrangement.
Jiang Mengxin murmured to herself, "You were once my most cherished sister, why must you constantly oppose me? Alas... it seems I will have to be more vigilant with this sister from now on, and even more so, keep her away from the core of the Jiang family's power!"
Perhaps due to anger, perhaps due to jealousy.
In any case, Jiang Mengxin's attitude towards Jiang Lan underwent a significant transformation. She would no longer allow this sister to approach the core of the Jiang family's power.
...
On the other side.
After leaving the Jiang family's office building, Lu Ming rushed directly to the Divine Palace. In a detached villa, he met Xiu Luo, who had been waiting for him.
"You were so eager to see me, what is it?" Lu Ming asked.
"Warlord, please look at this."
Xiu Luo opened an email and handed it to Lu Ming for his perusal.
He added, "This email was accidentally discovered while investigating Guo Jianrong. The content is somewhat strange. As it involves Ren Zhi Pharmacy and Miss Qiao Ling, I rushed to have you examine it."
Lu Ming nodded and examined it carefully.
This email was indeed unusual. It was sent by Catherine, the head of the Western Medical Elite Organization, directly to Guo Jianrong's inbox.
The content was simple, containing only one sentence: "In three days, there will be big news concerning Ren Zhi Pharmacy. Mr. Guo is expected to prepare for its exposure."
Though the content was brief, Lu Ming sensed a plot brewing.
The Western Medical Elite Organization was constantly targeting Chinese medicine, and Guo Jianrong was a sycophantic opportunist. What good could come of their collusion?
Furthermore, Catherine accurately predicted major news from Ren Zhi Pharmacy in three days. Was she a deity, capable of foresight?
"Big news, what news?"
Lu Ming looked down at the time the email was sent and frowned deeply.
Based on the email's timestamp, the "big news" Catherine mentioned was scheduled to occur tomorrow!
Catherine, Guo Jianrong, I don't know what schemes they are cooking up in secret; however, one thing is certain: Ren Zhi Pharmacy and Qiao Ling will be in grave trouble!
Lu Ming took a deep breath and closed the email.
After a moment of contemplation.
Lu Ming calmly stated, "Those who offend my China shall perish! Catherine, if you dare to touch Ren Zhi, if you dare to harm Qiao Ling, I will ensure you cannot leave China alive!"
