Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!-Chapter 559: Asking for Trouble

The assistant spoke anxiously, "Mr. Li, those media outlets and influencers we bought over have turned against us and exposed us, and now your news has reached number one on the trending search!"

"What!" Li Guangliang leaped up and hurriedly took out his phone to check.

The top trending news read: Shocking Exposé, Trending Search Manager Threatened!

He clicked to view and saw that it was a video.

In the video, Li Guangliang’s people were in a meeting with the trending search manager, telling the manager to follow his instructions.

Perhaps Li Guangliang’s people, used to being arrogant under the protection of their powerful backer, acted superior and demanded the trending search manager comply with their instructions or regret it!

"Is this guy a fucking pig?"

Li Guangliang cursed and clicked to view the second news on the trending search.

The headline read: Think You’re Above Us Just Because You’re Rich?

He clicked to view, and it was another video.

The video was about Li Guangliang spending money to manipulate popularity.

But this video was full of cursing, criticizing Li Guangliang for having no shame and controlling public opinion.

Below the video was an article, so brilliantly written it took one’s breath away.

It took insulting people without using dirty words to the extreme.

If you didn’t have some literary prowess, you wouldn’t even know it was insulting someone.

Following that, he looked at other news, all related to Li Guangliang.

This time, Li Guangliang was truly in crisis.

"Can we take down the trending search?" Li Guangliang’s face was grim.

"Mr. Li, we can’t take it down. It seems they don’t care about money at all; no matter how much we offer, they refuse to retract the news," the assistant said.

"What the hell is going on? Could it be Xu Yang’s doing? But does he have the capability?"

Li Guangliang suspected Xu Yang was behind this but doubted he had the ability.

"Mr. Li, I’m afraid it really is Xu Yang’s doing; otherwise, this situation wouldn’t have arisen," the assistant said.

"How did he manage that?" Li Guangliang asked.

"I don’t know," the assistant replied bitterly.

"Don’t know? Go and find out, and do it fast! I don’t care how much money you spend, just get me some answers quickly!" Li Guangliang roared.

"Yes." The assistant didn’t dare say more and left to get busy.

One hour later.

The assistant returned to report: "Mr. Li, we’ve found out. It was Xu Yang’s doing. Xu Yang’s team found dirt on those media outlets and influencers we bought, so they had no choice but to follow Xu Yang’s commands."

Li Guangliang’s face turned sour, "How did he get his hands on that information?"

The assistant shook his head, "I’m not sure, but I heard Xu Yang’s team has some really powerful hackers. They might have used hackers to do it."

Li Guangliang cursed, "Damn it, Xu Yang plays really rough. Now we’re in for trouble."

The assistant said, "Mr. Li, it shouldn’t be a problem, right? Without evidence, the authorities can’t do anything to you, can they?"

"You don’t know shit!" Li Guangliang glared at the assistant, "Without evidence, the authorities indeed can’t do much against me, but they will definitely keep an eye on me. If they watch me, which client would dare to work with me? Without clients, how can the company make money? Are we supposed to rely on those young stars to make movies for box office earnings?

Moreover, if they start investigating seriously, they will always find some traces. By then, I’m finished!"

The assistant dared not speak anymore.

At that moment, Li Guangliang’s phone rang.

Seeing the incoming call, it was from one of the clients.

Li Guangliang answered the phone and immediately heard a voice, "Mr. Li, please return my money."

Li Guangliang said, "Boss Gao, you should be very clear about the current situation. Can I return the money? Please don’t rush. Once the heat dies down and time passes, nobody will pay attention, and we can still cooperate to make money as before."

Boss Gao sneered, "I’ve heard people say that you’re planning to abscond with the funds. When asked for a refund, you’d find excuses to shirk. I didn’t believe it at first, but now it seems to be true. You don’t seem keen on returning the money; you want to abscond with the funds. Now is the perfect time to refund. The relevant departments are not reacting that fast.

They’ve only seen the news and won’t take practical supervision actions. If it’s too late, I’m afraid I’ll never get my money back!"

Li Guangliang said anxiously, "Boss Gao, who told you that? How could I possibly run off with the funds? I would never do such a thing."

Boss Gao said, "Then return the money!"

"I..." Li Guangliang opened his mouth, trying to explain, but realizing that the other party was already convinced he would do it, he felt any explanation would be futile. So, clenching his teeth, he said, "Boss Gao, if you want a refund, that’s okay, but I need to charge a handling fee.

Your amount is ten billion, and for an early withdrawal, I need to charge a fifty percent fee, so I can only give you five billion."

Boss Gao was unconcerned, "No problem, just refund the five billion. You’re about to run off anyway, getting five billion back, I’m already very satisfied!"

Li Guangliang’s face turned ashen.

It seemed the other party was dead set on getting a refund; otherwise, they would never agree to such a loss.

Left with no choice, he could only say, "Alright, I’ll refund the five billion to you right away."

After hanging up, before he had the chance to instruct his assistant to process the refund, the phone rang again.

Analogously, it was a client calling to request a refund.

Li Guangliang used the same rhetoric, and the other party accepted as well.

Following that, every client called, without exception, demanding a refund!

Li Guangliang had no option but to agree to each one.

Finally, when there were no more calls, Li Guangliang instructed his assistant to process the refunds.

Since the clients’ accounts were all anonymous overseas accounts, there was no worry of being traced by the relevant authorities.

However, for Li Guangliang, the large sum of capital flow had already caught the attention of the relevant departments, and they immediately started monitoring Li Guangliang’s accounts.

That was not all; the relevant departments discovered numerous issues with Starlight Media and immediately initiated an investigation into the company.

At the same time, anonymous evidence and the scandalous information regarding Li Guangliang were sent to the police.

The result was, Li Guangliang was directly taken away by the police for investigation.

Even though the Li Family intervened, they couldn’t keep Li Guangliang from being taken away.

After all, Li Guangliang’s scandal was already causing an uproar online.

If Li Guangliang were released, it would be like opposing the entire nation.

Naturally, no one dared to release him, risking such a public outrage.

Furthermore, the police had received directives from the higher-ups to deal with the case strictly and severely.

Learning of the news, Xu Yang just smiled, "This Li Guangliang, there was originally nothing to do with him, but he insisted on sticking his nose in other people’s business. Despite my advice, he wouldn’t listen. He can’t blame me for the predicament he’s ended up in."

Ma Yangrong also smiled, "Of course, Mr. Xu can’t be blamed. Everything is the consequence of his own doing!"

Xu Yang said, "With this, Lin Lijian should finally give up, right?"

Ma Yangrong said, "Definitely. Li Guangliang was his main backer. Now that Li Guangliang is in, they must be in despair."

Xu Yang then asked, "Has there been any movement from Bai Kunyu?"

Ma Yangrong shook his head, "No, he’s been locked in a ’dark room’ recently because of the thirty billion in compensation he paid us. Although the Bai Family is large and successful, thirty billion is not a small sum. Bai Kunyu has been confined since then and hasn’t come out yet."

Xu Yang raised an eyebrow, "The Bai Family has such a punishment as a ’dark room’?"

He was genuinely surprised. Wasn’t that a method reserved for punishing prisoners in jails?
