CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

Looking at his daughter's radiant appearance, Gao Qilin felt a surge of pride.

"Great job, Yueyue! You must have worked really hard to win the game," he encouraged.

Gao Yue jumped up excitedly when she heard her father praise her.

"Yes! We all gave it our all, and we worked together as one. I also made many new friends, and they had a lot of fun with me!"

She recounted the fun she had with her new friends with a beaming smile.

Gao Qilin was touched by his daughter's enthusiasm and joy. Looking into her bright and energetic eyes, he felt an endless surge of love in his heart.

"Yueyue is wonderful, having so many good friends to share joyful moments with," he said with emotion.

Gao Yue held Gao Qilin's hand tightly, "Yes, Dad. I feel so happy right now!"

Gao Qilin took a long breath and, with a happy expression, led Gao Yue back to his villa.

He had just arrived home when his phone suddenly rang. He saw that the caller ID showed Chen Shuting, Gao Yue's mother.

He quickly answered the phone.

"Hello? Shu Ting?" Gao Qilin asked nervously.

An anxious and worried voice came from the other end of the phone, "Gao Qilin, I can't get through to Gao Yue. Do you know where she is?"

Hearing Chen Shuting's words, Gao Qilin could sense her deep concern for Gao Yue's safety.

He quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, Shuting, I just brought Yueyue home. She's right here with me, she's safe." The next day, Gao Qilin sat in his office, listening intently as Guo Shaoheng excitedly relayed the news.

His brow furrowed slightly as he pondered how to use this opportunity to deliver a blow to Zhao Ruilong.

"Mr. Gao, you heard right! Zhao Ruilong's men had an accident during the acquisition of a piece of land!" Guo Shaoheng said excitedly.

"What accident?" Gao Qilin's voice revealed a hint of interest.

“There are still people living on that land. That person was unwilling to sell the land to Zhao Ruilong, and then a few days later, that person disappeared,” Guo Shaoheng explained.

A sly glint flashed in Gao Qilin's eyes. "This is truly a godsend," he muttered to himself.

Guo Shaoheng felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the light in Gao Qilin's eyes.

He knew that Gao Qilin was meticulous and would never let this opportunity pass by to strike at Zhao Ruilong.

So he cautiously asked, "Mr. Gao, what are your plans?"

Gao Qilin took a deep breath, then asked Guo Shaoheng to lean closer and tell him his thoughts.

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's plan, Guo Shaoheng's eyes flashed with admiration. "President Gao, you are truly amazing! With this plan, Zhao Ruilong will surely be doomed."

Gao Qilin smiled slightly, "This is just the beginning. I'm going to bring him down completely." He clenched his fist, full of determination and fighting spirit. That evening, Gao Qilin invited Meng Yu to dinner at an elegant coffee shop.

The two sat by the window, surrounded by soft lighting, creating a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere.

Looking at Meng Yu's smiling face, Gao Qilin felt that her smile was warm and touching.

They exchanged greetings and then began their dinner. During the meal, Gao Qilin paused for a moment. Then, a look of worry appeared on his face, and his gaze lingered on Meng Yu's face for a brief instant.

Then he slowly spoke: "Meng Yu, I heard that an accident happened on the land that the Zhao Group acquired."

A hint of surprise flashed in Meng Yu's eyes as she stared intently at Gao Qilin. "What exactly happened in the accident?"

Gao Qilin sighed and said heavily, "There are still 990 people living in this plot of land. This person was unwilling to move out, but disappeared not long after."

Meng Yu clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flashing with determination.

"Qilin, I want to report this incident. It's very likely that Zhao Ruilong and his gang did it!"

"I believe this is an incident involving safety and social justice, and it must be exposed."

Looking into Meng Yu's determined eyes, Gao Qilin's gratitude was palpable.

"Thank you, Meng Yu. If this matter is exposed in the Jinghai Daily, I believe more people will pay attention to this issue, and Zhao Ruilong will definitely lose some of his support."

Meng Yu smiled and nodded, "Qilin, don't worry, I will definitely make sure this matter receives widespread attention from the public." Two days later, the Jinghai Daily published a news report about Zhao Ruilong's acquisition of land leading to the disappearance of residents.

The headline, "People Gone! Zhao Group Oppresses the People Again," was prominently displayed in the newspaper.

This news quickly sparked a strong reaction from the people of the city.

Chapter 653 Public Condemnation

The report details the events previously described by Gao Qilin and Meng Yu, and condemns the Zhao Group.

Following the news release, social media was flooded with insults and accusations against Zhao Ruilong.

Angry netizens widely shared the report and expressed their indignation and anger towards the Zhao Group in the comments section.

They condemned the Zhao Group for resorting to any means to pursue profits.

The city's residents were abuzz with discussion, and negative comments about Zhao Ruilong and the Zhao Group filled the streets and alleys.

People felt angry and helpless, and were outraged by such social injustice and the pursuit of self-interest.

However, some people raised doubts in the discussion, arguing that this was just the tip of the iceberg and that it was impossible to count all the opposing voices.

They worried that the Zhao Group's power was too great and that it might escape punishment under public pressure.

As Meng Yu read the report in the Jinghai Daily, she saw the public's attention and support for the accident.

She felt a deep sense of responsibility and realized that more support was needed to get the relevant departments to take action.

Meanwhile, as Zhao Ruilong and the Zhao Group faced public pressure, they chose to remain silent.

They held an emergency internal meeting and secretly discussed countermeasures.

Zhao Ruilong sat on the sofa in his office, frowning as he looked at the news report about himself in his hand.

This report thrust him into the eye of the storm, making him feel angry and uneasy.

A surge of intense anger welled up within Zhao Ruilong. He gritted his teeth, thinking, "This is a massive conspiracy! Someone must be pulling the strings behind this!"

He felt he had been framed, but he couldn't figure out who was behind it all.

Just as Zhao Ruilong was in a state of confusion, he suddenly noticed the secretary standing next to him.

He immediately pressed for an answer: "Why did this get out?" He paced back and forth anxiously.

The secretary replied in a flustered manner, "Mr. Zhao, I know nothing about this. I only received the news before it was published. I'm also surprised that this news got out."

Zhao Ruilong did not fully believe his secretary's explanation when he heard the reply.

Zhao Ruilong stopped in his tracks, staring sharply at his secretary, his voice carrying a hint of authority.

"I don't believe this is just a coincidence. You need to think carefully about whether someone deliberately leaked this information."

The secretary sensed Zhao Ruilong's distrust and pressure; his respectful voice betrayed a hint of fear.

"Sir, please believe me. I really don't know who spread this news."

Zhao Ruilong stared intently at his secretary, but eventually relaxed his brow. He didn't dwell on it any longer and waved for the secretary to leave.

He knew that only Zhao Dong could help him solve his current predicament.

Zhao Ruilong anxiously dialed Zhao Dong's number, his face contorted with worry, and said to the person on the other end of the line, "Dad, save me! That piece of land I acquired before..."

Zhao Dong's gaze turned stern, and he couldn't help but loudly rebuke Zhao Ruilong.

"What a foolish thing to do! You've put yourself in such an embarrassing situation without any preparation!"

His voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Zhao Ruilong was deeply affected by Zhao Dong's rebuke, and he lowered his head in shame on the other end of the phone.

He knew he had made a big mistake in this matter, but he also knew he needed Zhao Dong's help now.

“Dad, I know I was wrong. But I’m really in trouble, and I hope you can help me,” he said softly.

Looking at his son's guilty and anxious expression, Zhao Dong felt a surge of pity. "You are my son, I certainly can't just sit idly by."

"I told you before not to cause trouble. I'll take care of this one for you, just don't do it again for a while!"

Zhao Ruilong was very pleased to hear this.

"Thanks dad!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Ruilong sat in his chair and fell into deep thought, wondering who he might have offended.

As time passed, a figure gradually appeared in Zhao Ruilong's mind—Gao Qilin.

Recalling the long-standing grievances between him and Gao Qilin.

He became increasingly certain that Gao Qilin was the one for him.

"Gao Qilin, what a treacherous and cunning villain!" Zhao Ruilong said angrily.

He frowned, deciding that he couldn't just sit and wait to die; he had to find a way to teach Gao Qilin a lesson.

He gathered some of his trusted subordinates, hoping to devise an effective revenge plan.

The subordinates sat in the conference room, the atmosphere tense yet full of anticipation.

Zhao Ruilong frowned slightly; he knew it was time to demonstrate his leadership qualities.

“We must find a way to strike at Gao Qilin,” Zhao Ruilong said. “I don’t want him to get carried away; he needs to understand who’s in charge.”

The subordinates exchanged glances and then began to enthusiastically offer their ideas.

“If we can poach that guy named Ma Teng, it might be a fatal blow to Gao Qilin,” a young subordinate suggested.
