Mr. Xiang and Sun Hongjiang left the hotel.

“Son of a bitch, he actually dared to hit me, I’ll make him pay with his life!”

Mr. Xiang had lost all semblance of a high-society gentleman, becoming the spitting image of a gang boss.

It wasn’t strange at all, anyone would explode in anger in his place.

For so many years, no one had hit him, it was always him hitting others.

And now, he had been struck by a young whippersnapper. How could he possibly tolerate that?

“Mr. Xiang, if we kill him, it will bring us a lot of trouble,” Sun Hongjiang said, showing much more reason.

Although he was also furious and wanted to dismember Xu Yang into a thousand pieces, eat Xu Yang’s flesh, drink Xu Yang’s blood, rip Xu Yang’s tendons, and flay Xu Yang’s skin.

But as much as he wished for that, it was an unrealistic expectation in reality.

Xu Yang was a tycoon with hundreds of billions at his back; if he died, they would not be able to escape responsibility. Even with the biggest network of connections, they couldn’t save themselves.

Harbor City was just a city after all. Some aspects were a bit special, but in other respects, it was not special at all.

Many people liked to boast, “This is Harbor City” as if the city itself was an impressive feat.

They felt Harbor City was incredible, and even the most powerful people from the inland areas had to bow their heads here.

However, deep down, they knew very well there were many people in the mainland far more powerful than them.

The networks of the mainland heavyweights were much more formidable than theirs.

In contrast, they were isolated from the core power circles. In the capital, they virtually had no connections to speak of.

With a single command from the cabinet, they would all be finished.

“Even if we don’t kill him, I must make him pay, or I won’t be able to swallow this insult,” Mr. Xiang said through gritted teeth.

“He definitely needs to pay a price.” Sun Hongjiang agreed, his eyes darting around as he suddenly had an idea, “Mr. Xiang, I have a thought. Tell me if you think it could work.”

Mr. Xiang immediately urged, “Speak up, what’s the idea?”

Sun Hongjiang looked around cautiously, “Mr. Xiang, we should talk in the car instead. There are too many people here, and it wouldn’t be good if we’re overheard.”

Mr. Xiang nodded repeatedly, “Let’s talk in my car.”

Sun Hongjiang had no objections and followed Mr. Xiang into his Rolls-Royce.

Mr. Xiang had his driver step out before asking, “Alright, what’s the idea?”

Sun Hongjiang smiled, “Mr. Xiang, I’ve heard you have a female star in your entertainment company who socializes for you. Is that true?”

Mr. Xiang questioned, “Why are you asking about this? Does it have anything to do with our plans against Xu Yang?”

Sun Hongjiang nodded, “It’s related.”

Mr. Xiang admitted, “Yes, there is such a star. She’s absolutely enchanting. Whoever I tell her to bed, she beds. No man can resist her, and she’s helped me gain quite a network of influential figures.”

Sun Hongjiang smiled, “Since that’s the case, let’s use this actress to make a move on Xu Yang.”

Mr. Xiang asked, “How so?”

Sun Hongjiang shared his thoughts.

Simply put, it was to set a honey trap, employ journalists, and once they had photos and videos, they could start pulling the strings.

After hearing the plan, Mr. Xiang’s eyes lit up, “This method is good. Once it’s out, even if he had ten mouths, he couldn’t explain it away. Then, when we twist the narrative to our advantage to get our people off the hook, and with him mired in scandal, nobody will believe him if he tries to act against us again.”

Sun Hongjiang nodded, “Exactly, that’s the idea.”

“Alright, I’ll call right away.” Mr. Xiang immediately took out his cellphone and called the female star to explain the situation, instructing her to get ready for action.

…

Xu Yang looked up the dirt on Mr. Xiang, Big Blade, Sun Honghai, and the dark secrets of the Sun family.

He also accidentally discovered that Mr. Xiang and Sun Hongjiang had set up a trap for the female star to come to the hotel.

Xu Yang discussed the situation with Wang Xiaocong and then said, “What do you think we should do about this female star’s matter?”

Wang Xiaocong said, “What else can we do but expose them all?”

Xu Yang said, “It’s too late to expose them now, the other party is already on their way to the hotel, and if we want to expose the matters concerning Mr. Xiang and others, we need to go through the media in Harbor City. Since Harbor City is the eye of the storm and storms need brewing, we also have to contact reporters. They need to consider the impact of such sensational news, so it should be released tomorrow.”

Wang Xiaocong said, “Then what should we do?”

Xu Yang thought for a moment and said, “When she arrives, she has to see me to proceed, if I don’t open the door, she won’t be able to do anything.”

Wang Xiaocong laughed and said, “That indeed is a solution.”

Xu Yang said, “You contact Su Mengyao and have her send you the phone numbers and email addresses of the media reporters who came today, then I’ll contact them and have them leak what I’ve just found.”

“Okay.” Wang Xiaocong immediately contacted Su Mengyao.

Soon, she received the phone numbers and email addresses of the reporters from various Harbor City media that Su Mengyao sent over.

Xu Yang called the senior reporter from the famous newspaper, Liang Junhao.

The press conference held in the afternoon was the one where this very reporter, Liang Junhao, asked the most questions, leaving a deep impression on him.

The call connected quickly.

Xu Yang introduced himself, “I am Xu Yang.”

Liang Junhao paused for a good while before he remembered who Xu Yang was.

Wasn’t this Xu Yang the billionaire from the mainland?

He had just attended the press conference held by Xu Yang that afternoon, and the news released made Harbor City media, including his own newspaper, earn a significant spike in traffic.

Liang Junhao asked, “President Xu, what can I do for you? Surely not another big piece of news?”

Xu Yang said with a smile, “You’re right, it’s big news, but I don’t know if you dare to report it.”

Liang Junhao said, “Our newspaper has always upheld the principle of reporting news events with fairness and objectivity. As long as it’s not fake news, no matter how big, we dare to report it. Just tell me the big news.”

Xu Yang said, “That’s good to hear, I’m sending it to you now, your email is XXXX, correct?”

Liang Junhao said, “That’s right.”

Xu Yang said, “Okay, sending it now. You release the news tomorrow, and I intend to set off a public opinion explosion.”

Liang Junhao said, “Alright, rest assured, we’ll cover it just as you wish.”

“Very good.” Xu Yang hung up, satisfied, and then sent a pile of dirt to Liang Junhao.

He then continued to call other senior media reporters and send emails.

One by one, these reporters all expressed that they would definitely release the news, making a groundbreaking revelation tomorrow that would turn Harbor City into the focus of not just China but the entire world.

Seeing that Xu Yang had finished notifying everyone, Wang Xiaocong excitedly said, “I’m really looking forward to tomorrow, Mr. Xiang’s, Big Blade’s, and the Sun family’s doomsday is upon them tomorrow. It’s bad luck for them, who did they think they were dealing with?”

Xu Yang smiled, “I originally didn’t want to take things too far, but they insisted on threatening me, not just threatening but also planning a setup. How could I not retaliate?”

Wang Xiaocong also laughed, “Retaliate. Definitely retaliate, otherwise people might think we are easy targets, haha!”
