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

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes. He slowly stood up, his expression turning serious. Gao Qilin looked at Guo Shaoheng, his tone filled with determination.

“We must find out the truth; this could be a powerful tool to bring down Zhao Ruilong!” Guo Shaoheng nodded.

“That’s right, we can’t be lenient.” Gao Qilin’s voice was cold and firm. “The primary task now is to investigate the situation of Xu Yitian’s family.”

　(bgcj) Guo Shaoheng immediately understood Gao Qilin's intention. He nodded, his expression becoming firm.

"I will find Xu Yitian's family as soon as possible and ensure their safety."

That evening, Gao Qilin and Guo Shaoheng reunited in the office.

Gao Qilin's face was gloomy, his brows furrowed. He pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Judging from all indications, Xu Yitian was probably murdered because he knew something he shouldn't have known."

"Since they were able to kill Xu Yitian and cover up the truth for so long, it is very likely that his family members also suffered the same fate."

Guo Shaoheng stared intently at Gao Qilin, "So we need to find them and ensure their safety."

“That’s right.” Gao Qilin nodded. “We need more evidence to bring down Zhao Ruilong.” Gao Qilin sat by the window in the private room, his eyes fixed on the outside.

The private room was simply furnished and dimly lit, with the faint light streaming through the window illuminating his handsome, aloof face, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

He was filled with unease and worry, knowing that this news would have a huge impact on Meng Yu.

However, in order to defeat Zhao Ruilong and protect the interests of the Qiangsheng Group, he had to tell Meng Yu the truth.

Shortly after, Meng Yu entered the private room.

She walked gracefully into the room wearing a black fitted dress, exuding a confident and intellectual charm.

The two sat down facing each other, and Gao Qilin handed her a cup of tea.

"Thank you for agreeing to see me," Gao Qilin said, sounding slightly tired.

Meng Yu took the teacup and looked at the unease and worry in Gao Qilin's eyes.

What's making you so anxious?

Gao Qilin sighed softly, "A worker from the Zhao Group named Xu Yitian has disappeared in the housing development. What's even more disturbing is that his family members also disappeared after the incident."

Meng Yu stared wide-eyed at Gao Qilin in disbelief. "What's going on?"

Gao Qilin shook his head. "We don't have any conclusive evidence yet, but all indications suggest that this is a murder case."

"Xu Yitian may have known some things he shouldn't have known, and thus he was put to death." This is outrageous! Meng Yu said angrily, her voice filled with uncontrollable resentment and dissatisfaction.

Her fists clenched tightly, her face showing anger and determination.

She decided to make this public so that those crimes would be punished as they deserved.

Gao Qilin looked at the furious Meng Yu and smiled slightly.

A hint of satisfaction and approval flashed in his eyes.

He knew that Meng Yu was an upright and kind person, and he also knew that she would not stand idly by.

Meng Yu took a step back in astonishment, the teacup trembling slightly in her hand. "So what should we do next?"

Gao Qilin's expression was firm. "We must find out the truth. I need your help to investigate the possible connection between the Zhao Group and Xu Yitian."

After a moment of silence, Meng Yu nodded. "I will do my best to help you find clues and uncover the truth behind this conspiracy."

She looked at Gao Qilin with eyes full of determination and resolve.

Chapter 675 Controlling Public Opinion

They knew this struggle would be extremely difficult, but they were determined to bring down the Zhao Group; their eyes revealed a firm resolve.

Gao Qilin held a document in his hand and carefully explained the details within it.

"This document is from my personal investigation of the transaction records between Zhao Ruilong and Chengyu."

Gao Qilin said, "This evidence is sufficient to expose Zhao Ruilong's connection to Xu Yitian's disappearance and to expose all his crimes."

Meng Yu listened attentively, while also thinking about how to gather more evidence to support their investigation.

“We need to find more clues and witnesses to ensure the truth comes to light. If we can find other victims or relevant witnesses, it will help us move the case forward.”

Gao Qilin nodded. "You're right. We need to contact other victims or witnesses as soon as possible to obtain their statements and testimonies regarding this case."

After a moment's thought, Meng Yu offered her opinion: "In addition to contacting the victims and witnesses, I think we should also protect our own safety and the safety of the other party."

Gao Qilin smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I have arranged a professional bodyguard team to protect our safety."

Meng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, satisfied with Gao Qilin's meticulous arrangements.

"Thank you for your concern and preparation. I will also try my best to be careful and do my best to ensure the smooth progress of the investigation."

The two began discussing their next course of action, working closely together on every detail. The next day, sunlight streamed through the office windows onto the floor. Zhao Ruilong sat behind his grand desk, his face somber and his mood heavy.

He held the Jinghai Daily and looked at the report published in it—"A worker from the Zhao Group has gone missing, with many suspicious points."

The report detailed the suspicious circumstances surrounding Xu Yitian's death, sparking widespread criticism.

Zhao Ruilong gritted his teeth, realizing that he had been helplessly drawn into this crisis.

A heavy and oppressive atmosphere filled the office. Zhao Ruilong gazed at the swaying shadows of the trees outside the window, pondering how to deal with the situation.

He clearly realized that the company's image was seriously threatened and that measures had to be taken to salvage the situation.

Just then, the door was gently pushed open a crack.

The assistant came in and, seeing Zhao Ruilong's unfriendly expression, immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Boss, I heard something from outside..." the assistant hesitated.

Zhao Ruilong raised his head and looked at him coldly, "Did you come here just to remind me?"

The assistant lowered his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry, boss. I just feel we need to take some measures to deal with this situation."

Zhao Ruilong pondered for a moment, then nodded.

“You’re right. We must take effective measures to restore the Zhao Group’s reputation. Otherwise, we will lose everything.”

Seeing Zhao Ruilong's words, the assistant relaxed a little.

"So, boss, what should we do next?"

Zhao Ruilong said in a deep voice, "First, we need to take action to quell the outside world's discussions. We need to send people to control the media's public opinion and ensure that news reports are more favorable to us."

"Secondly, we need to tighten internal security measures and conduct an internal investigation to find out who leaked the information!"

The assistant understood Zhao Ruilong's meaning and nodded. "Then I'll make the arrangements."

· ·······Request flowers·· ·········

Zhao Ruilong looked at his loyal and mature assistant and said, "Okay, go and do it. Remember, we can't afford to make any more mistakes."

The assistant solemnly acknowledged the order and turned to leave the office.

Zhao Ruilong leaned back in his office chair, squinting as he pondered.

"Gao Qilin and Meng Yu...you just wait, I will make you pay the price," Zhao Ruilong vowed silently. As Zhao Ruilong pondered quietly in his office, a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind.

He recalled a quote from Cheng Yu: "Boss, we can send people to control the media's public opinion."

0 0 ...

Zhao Ruilong found this idea very feasible.

If he can control the media's public opinion and make news reports favorable to the Zhao Group, then they can clear the negative impact of Xu Yitian's death in the public eye.

Zhao Ruilong pondered for a moment, then calmly began to plan how to put it into practice.

He understood that this was not an easy task, but he believed that as long as he was well-prepared, he could meet any challenge.

He picked up the phone and dialed the number for Chengdu and Chongqing.

After the call connected, Zhao Ruilong said in a cold tone, "Cheng Yu, your proposed solution is very good."

Cheng Yu's voice, tinged with surprise and nervousness, came from the other end of the phone: "Boss, you agreed?"

Zhao Ruilong nodded. "Yes. I think this method is very feasible. We need to grasp the media's public opinion direction as soon as possible and make the news reports favorable to us."

Upon hearing Zhao Ruilong's affirmation, Cheng Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss, I've prepared a team specifically for communication and liaison with the media. We can use this team to control public opinion."

Chapter 676 Continue the investigation

Zhao Ruilong was clearly satisfied with the preparations for the Chengdu-Chongqing project.

“Very good. Tell them they need to act quickly. We can’t delay any longer.”

"Yes, boss, I'll arrange it immediately," Cheng Yu said firmly.

Zhao Ruilong hung up the phone, leaned back in his office chair, and squinted his eyes in deep thought.

He knew this was just the beginning; the battle had only just begun.

"Gao Qilin...you just wait, I will make you pay the price." Zhao Ruilong secretly vowed in his heart. Zhao Ruilong sat in his office with a sense of relief, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

He felt that his efforts had paid off, and the company's image and stock price had improved significantly.

A recent media report gave the Zhao Group high praise, which gave Zhao Ruilong hope.

He looked out the window; sunlight streamed through the glass into the office, casting a bright glow on his face.
