The aloof beauty always has weak legs; the crazy boss is too ruthless.

Chapter 114 Exploitation
The facts were indeed as Lu Siqi had imagined.

A video of Hua Yin engaging in drug use and promiscuity in his office was posted on Bangnan's online platform.

Because Hua Dongchen and Hua Yin are both citizens of Bangnan, although Bangnan has an explicit ban on gambling and drug use, they usually turn a blind eye in private. Unless the situation escalates too much, they will only make a show of detaining drug users as a warning.

Hua Yin, as the son of the chairman of Huaxi Group, openly engaged in group sex and drug use in his own company, which naturally aroused the anger of the citizens of Bangnan.

Under pressure from public opinion, the police had no choice but to arrest Hua Yin and conduct a urine test on him to check whether he had used drugs.

Hua Dongchen was furious upon learning the news.

The Hua family has a clear rule: drug trafficking is allowed, but drug use is absolutely forbidden!

If his son Hua Yin really uses drugs, he, as a father, will definitely not tolerate it.

Hua Xu knew Hua Dongchen's bottom line perfectly, which is why he specifically sent Lu Siqi to Qizhi to deliver documents, with the aim of taking advantage of the chaos to have his own people infiltrate and photograph evidence of Hua Yin's drug use.

Only by making Hua Dongchen increasingly disappointed in his own son, Hua Yin, can Hua Xu reap the benefits.

……

President's Office of Huaxi Group.

Hua Xu picked up the remote and turned on the news that was playing: Hua Yin had tested positive for drugs and methamphetamine had been found in his office.

After putting down the remote control, he looked up at Lu Siqi in front of his desk, a helpless and self-deprecating smile appearing on his lips: "Are you particularly disappointed in me now? You're willing to use even you to bring down Hua Yin."

"It's not like you're using me." Knowing that the man in front of her wouldn't stop at nothing for profit, Lu Siqi comforted him, "Don't feel guilty towards me. Hua Yin's arrest is a good thing for me. Mu Sen is now a signed internet celebrity at Qizhi, and with Hua Yin back in solitary confinement and you taking over Qizhi, it's a win-win situation."

"But in the end, I still used you to achieve what I wanted." Having finally become the kind of person he hated, Hua Xu despised himself. "You should leave Hua Xi. If you stay by my side, you'll only be used by me again."

“I don’t think you’re using me.” Lu Siqi faced him frankly. “I believe we’re cooperating. This mission was saved from many detours because of your involvement. Whatever your ultimate goal is, it’s beneficial to our mission, isn’t it?”

Hua Xu pondered for a moment, and finally decided to ask the question he had been asking all along: "Lu Siqi, if it weren't for this mission, would you have chosen to be friends with someone like me?"

Having grown up in a "dirty place," Lu Siqi knew that despite his glamorous appearance, he was actually extremely insecure.

If he hadn't been chosen by Hua Dongchen, if his hands hadn't been stained with blood, he would probably have become a policeman like me.

Otherwise, he wouldn't care so much about her, given that she used to be a police officer.

Thinking of all this, Lu Siqi answered truthfully, "Maybe not before, but now, I really do consider you a friend."

Hua Xu smiled upon hearing her answer.

He rarely smiles so happily in front of others.

Only with Lu Siqi's approval could he genuinely believe that he wasn't a completely rotten person.

……

Qizhi Culture Company.

Although Hua Yin was temporarily detained by the police for drug possession and use, the online celebrities in his company continued to broadcast live as usual.

Although Musen gained hundreds of thousands of followers on some platforms in a short period of time through his short videos, his department manager did not allow him to start live streaming because he had no live streaming experience and needed to receive some training and learn some sales techniques.

He was always allowed to watch the top online influencers in the company do live streams.

When Mu Sen heard the online celebrity recount his easy rise to wealth in Bangnan during a live stream, he felt it was all incredibly fake.

Even though it's so fake, a large number of netizens still believe it.

These netizens joined the WeChat fan group through the live streamer's announcement. Once in the group, many members would enthusiastically recount how they had come to Bangnan more than a month ago and had already earned several thousand yuan in just a few days.

These group members kept thanking the streamer for helping them become rich.

Little did they know, over 90% of these group members were employees of Huaxi Group involved in fraud.

During his few days of observation at the company, Mu Sen had successfully mastered their scam tactics: the anchors were responsible for promoting how easy it was to make money in some cities in Bangnan, and after gaining the trust of netizens, they would invite them to join WeChat groups or QQ groups. There were thousands of these groups of varying sizes, all managed by dedicated personnel.

Once a "target" customer is identified in each group, the people at Huaxi who are specifically responsible for fraud will lure the "customer" to Bangnan or Xiaomopo in the neighboring country under the guise of a live streamer. There are many ways to entice them: high salaries, meeting in the form of an online romance, or inviting them to come for a trip, etc.

In short, once the "customers" arrive in Bangnan, they will be completely under their control.

Once you have them under control, the first step is to entice them to invest. If customers are easily hooked, then there's no need to resort to force.

However, if the other party realizes they have been deceived and begins to resist, they will face various forms of beatings and intimidation.

What's most hateful isn't that they swindle money from them, but that after they've swindled their money and deemed them useless, these beasts, driven only by greed, will target their body parts.

It is likely that the organs of most of the missing persons reported domestically in connection with Bangnan have been sold by these beasts.

If the victim is a woman, she will be sold to a brothel to continue making money.

In short, in the eyes of Hua Dongchen, the mastermind, people are merely tools for making money.

After obtaining this information, Mu Sen sent the eavesdropping records and some secretly filmed conversations of internet celebrities to Gu Shi in China, asking him to contact the media to start exposing them.

At first, Gu Shi felt it was inappropriate, saying, "Exposure now would be dangerous for you."

“There will be no danger. Hua Yin was arrested for drug possession, and Hua Xu is one of our people. Hua Dongchen is currently focused on protecting his son Hua Yin and has no idea that our people have already obtained some strong evidence.” Mu Sen analyzed for him: “The purpose of exposing this is to let netizens in China recognize the darkness in Bangnan and prevent those who are preparing to make quick money from rushing here blindly.”

"At that time, the internet celebrities here will also be thrown into disarray, and it will be easier to collect evidence when things are in chaos."

After listening to his analysis, Gu Shicai decided to adopt his plan.

……

three days later.

A news report about a "Bangnan" internet celebrity scam began to circulate online.

Videos circulating on various short video platforms show a well-known internet celebrity from Bangnan boasting while eating about how many people he scammed this month, how much money he defrauded, and how much commission he would receive for each new person he met.

When netizens saw the video, they not only forwarded it but also went to the accounts of those internet celebrities to accuse them of being scammers.

Within just a few hours, all the online celebrities who had been promoting Bangnan were now being questioned by netizens as fraudsters.

This public opinion has caused some netizens who were originally planning to go to Bangnam or other countries to seek their fortunes to suddenly give up.

The online celebrities from Qizhi Culture Company were stunned to see that their private messages were all calling them scammers.

All live broadcasts were cancelled, and the person in charge convened a meeting on behalf of Hua Yin. The proposed solution was to refrain from any activity for the next few days and observe the subsequent public opinion.

As a result of the scandal, Huaxi Group's jade products sold through Qizhi's online influencers immediately faced the risk of being returned.

The after-sales department kept receiving calls from customers, all requesting refunds.

For a time, Huaxi Group was in complete chaos.

Hua Dongchen was even more furious.

He thought he had everything under control, but he never expected to be killed so suddenly!
As some countries begin to uncover that all the internet celebrities in the Bangnan area are related to "Qizhi Internet Celebrity Incubation Company", and Qizhi is a subsidiary of Huaxi Group!
Furthermore, many netizens have posted about their experiences of being scammed after purchasing Huaxi jade.

The continuous stream of posts dragged Huaxi Group into the mess, and Hua Dongchen was completely enraged. He glanced at his good-for-nothing son, Hua Yin, and kicked him hard! "I shouldn't have let you, you beast, out here!"

"If it weren't for you constantly causing trouble, Hua Xi wouldn't have been thrust into the limelight!"

Knowing he had caused trouble, Hua Yin knelt on the ground, not daring to lift his head.

Hua Dongchen twirled the prayer beads in his hand, pondered for a few minutes, and then sighed softly, "It seems that we can only ask him to help us get through this calamity!"

Hua Yin was about to ask who this "he" referred to.

Shen Cheng walked in. "Grandpa, President Hua has arrived."
