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

Another thug leaned on the table and whispered, "It was Chen Li from Wan's Enterprises who instigated us behind the scenes."

Gao Qilin frowned slightly as he pondered the name.

Wan's Enterprises is a large company with considerable strength and background, and they have always been in competition with Qiangsheng Group.

Whether they are involved in this food safety incident requires further evidence to confirm.

“Chen Li?” Gao Qilin repeated the name softly. “Do you have any other evidence? I need more clues to confirm the mastermind behind this.”

The thugs exchanged worried glances; clearly, they didn't have any more evidence.

However, seeing that Gao Qilin was not interested in them, one of the thugs suddenly made up his mind and revealed more information.

"I think we know something else."

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Chen Li told us that if we successfully create a food safety incident, we can embarrass Qiangsheng Group and take this opportunity to strike at you."

Gao Qilin breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Although this is not conclusive evidence, it at least provides some clues.

He then stood up and put his hands in his pockets.

He smiled and said to the two thugs, "Okay, your task is simple. Just clarify things publicly online, and I'll give you a reward."

Upon hearing the promise of payment, a glimmer of anticipation and satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the two thugs.

They exchanged a glance and nodded, agreeing to Gao Qilin's request.

Gao Qilin nodded in satisfaction, handed them a slip of paper, and instructed them: "The detailed clarification and the amount of payment are written on it. Please be sure to do as required."

The two thugs took the note, bowed, and hurriedly left the office.

Back in his office, Gao Qilin leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and recalled what had just happened.

My heart is filled with doubts and thoughts.

“Chen Li…” Gao Qilin murmured the name, “Although we only have these clues so far, we cannot completely confirm that he is the mastermind behind it all.”

"But since Wan's Enterprises and Qiangsheng Group have always been competitors, it is not impossible that he instigated thugs to cause food safety incidents."

Gao Qilin took a deep breath and made up his mind to investigate the truth.

He knew that only when the truth came to light could he clear the name of the Qiangsheng Group.

At the same time, Wu Zhijiang received a call from Gao Qilin in his office.

"Old Gao, what's up?" he asked.

“Zhijiang, I need you to investigate Chen Li of Wan's Enterprises…” Gao Qilin’s tone revealed a hint of determination. “I suspect he is the mastermind behind the food safety incident.”

Wu Zhijiang was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Okay, I will investigate as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Zhijiang pondered where to begin his investigation.

The thug hurriedly returned to his hideout, created an anonymous account online, and began posting clarifications.

He anxiously typed out a sentence, explaining that his stomach upset was not caused by consuming Wangzai's products, but by his irregular diet and love of eating unhealthy foods.

He wrote diligently, hoping to clear up the misunderstanding.

The moment he posted, the entire internet erupted in excitement.

The topic of food safety incidents spread rapidly online.

Some expressed skepticism, believing it was just an excuse to cover up the truth, while many others believed the thug's explanation.

A debate about the truth has been sparked online.

It started with just a few viewpoints, but as time went on, more and more people got involved.

People commented and shared the clarification post.

2.9 Gao Qilin and Wu Zhijiang were both paying attention to all of this.

They knew this was a crucial moment, one from which they might find clues to track down the mastermind.

Zhong Xiaoai also paid attention to the online developments.

She wondered if anyone would believe the hoodlum's explanation, because it concerned her father, Old Zhong's, image.

A day passed, and the thug anxiously refreshed the page.

He saw that his clarification post had received tens of thousands of reposts and comments.

Some commenters defended him, while others expressed skepticism about his explanation.

This result was much better than he had expected.

Chen Li was furious and annoyed after seeing the hoodlum clarify the reason for his stomach upset online.

How could he betray me like this? Did someone offer him something in exchange for changing his story?

After calming down, Chen Li began to actively guide public opinion.

He posted messages through Weibo and other channels, claiming that the thug had been bribed to change his story.

He meticulously crafted several Weibo posts, using every means to guide public attention.

After the first Weibo post was published, it quickly received responses and spread among some supporters.

They all forwarded and commented: "The thug changed his tune so suddenly, someone must have given him a bribe!"

"Unbelievable! They clearly said it was a food problem before!"

"This is a cover-up by higher-ups!"

As these comments increased, Chen Li felt that he was influencing public perception.

16 This thrilled him; he had never experienced such a sense of control over public opinion.

In Gao Qilin and Wu Zhijiang's view, Chen Li's actions undoubtedly caused Gao Qilin great distress.

But Gao Qilin is more concerned with concrete actions than with his opponents manipulating public opinion online.

He calmly analyzed the entire situation, trying to find a solution.

The online debate escalated day by day, with thousands of netizens joining in.

His words were sharp and his emotions were running high.

Gao Qilin sat in his office, his brows furrowed.

He knew he was facing an unprecedented crisis, and this media storm had become exceptionally fierce.

Netizens have accused him of using his power to cover up the truth, which is a fatal blow to the Qiangsheng Group.

Wu Zhijiang walked into the office and saw Gao Qilin's silent demeanor. He gently reminded him, "President, the situation is very tense right now. We need to take some measures to quell public opinion."

“I know,” Gao Qilin replied in a low voice, “but we can’t limit ourselves to online responses.”

He then dialed Wu Zhijiang's number.

On the other end of the phone, Wu Zhijiang could sense Gao Qilin's anger and disappointment.

"I've already thought about it."

Gao Qilin said coldly, "I'm going to have food inspectors check the ingredients of Wangzai to see if it's really as these netizens say."

Wu Zhijiang immediately agreed: "No problem, I will arrange for someone to go to Wangzai for a check-up right away."

"I will personally lead the team," Gao Qilin emphasized. "I want to ensure that the inspection results are accurate."

Wu Zhijiang nodded: "Understood, President. I will send the most reliable person."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Qilin slowly put down his phone, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

He was filled with rage. He wanted to personally investigate the truth and thoroughly expose Chen Li and the masterminds behind the scenes who were trying to ruin the reputation of the Qiangsheng Group.

Online discussions and comments about the safety of Wangzai products have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

On social media, people are expressing their opinions.

Some netizens expressed doubts about the safety of Wangzai products, worrying about potential safety risks after purchase; others said they needed to wait for experts or regulatory authorities to release official results to determine whether there were any problems.

Gao Qilin stared intently at the constantly updated comments on the screen, his anger growing ever stronger.

He clenched his fists, determined to thoroughly expose Chen Li and the masterminds behind the scenes who were trying to ruin the reputation of the Qiangsheng Group.

Soon after, a proposal circulated widely on social media.

The initiative calls on consumers to unite and boycott Wangzai's products.

Meanwhile, several well-known brands have expressed their support for the initiative.

This news further fueled the online discussion.

As Gao Qilin watched the emotions gradually escalating on the screen, a hint of wariness flashed in his cold eyes.

He understood that the situation had now spiraled out of control.

Guo Shaoheng hurriedly entered Gao Qilin's office, looking somewhat anxious.

"President, there's something I need to report to you."

Gao Qilin glanced at him and said, "Speak."
