Chapter 4: Exposure

"Wei, are you alright?"

After Han Yu left, Li Mengting quickly went up to help the chubby man up and said, "That son of a bitch Han Yu is so daring! He even dares to hit Wei! You can't let him off the hook!"

Li Mengting knew Han Yu's character well. When the man says he'd come to her home at seven in the evening to get the money, he would definitely come!

With Han Yu's skills, how could her family stop him?

But to expect her to spit out the fat that she had swallowed? Impossible!

In an instant, she made up her mind to have her new boyfriend, Guo Zhenwei, deal with Han Yu.

Han Yu might be good at fighting, but it wasn't like the old days of constant battles anymore. With Wei's connections, taking care of Han Yu would be a matter of minutes!

The chubby man bit his teeth so hard it looked as if he was about to spew fire, "Mengting, don't worry! I won't let that bastard off the hook!"

With that, he took out his cellphone from his handbag and dialed a number.

...

Lin Corporation headquarters, Chuanxin International Building.

This was a 56-story office building, and from the first to the fifty-sixth floor, it all belonged to Lin Corporation.

At ten in the morning, the building was bustling with activity, elevators moving up and down in a scene of busy traffic.

The female president, Lin Qingya, dressed in a black business suit, took her private elevator to her office on the 54th floor, as usual, accompanied by two assistants.

"Good morning, President Lin!"

"Good morning, President Lin!"

Following Lin Qingya's steps, all office employees stood up. They dropped their work, bowed their heads, bent their backs, and respectfully greeted the female president.

Lin Qingya did not respond. She held her head high, her face cold, walking like a queen to her office.

Sitting in the main seat, drinking lemon water handed to her by an assistant, Lin Qingya brushed her hair aside and said in a deep voice, "Did you find out who put the aromatherapy in the room?"

"There was originally a jasmine fragrance aromatherapy in your room, personally placed by Yan."

Xiong seriously replied, "Later, a female janitor went in to clean, and the fragrance was changed to a powder blend of rosemary and Fairy Powder..."

Indeed!

Lin Qingya's brows tightened, she bit her silver teeth and said, "Where is that janitor? Bring her to me immediately! I want to question her myself!"

Last night, her purity, which she had guarded for over twenty years, was ruined by a bodyguard who came for an interview!

There was definitely something fishy about the incident!

She insisted on getting to the bottom of it!

"I've asked the hotel, and that janitor wasn't one of their employees; it was an outsider in disguise."

Xiong glanced at the president and cautiously said, "I've sent someone to look into the surveillance footage. It shouldn't take long to find out..."

"Three days! I'll give you three days! If you can't find that janitor by then, submit your resignation!"

Lin Qingya interrupted her assistant, setting the final deadline.

"Knock, knock!"

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

Lin Qingya glanced at Xiong, signaling her to go investigate quickly, and then shouted to the outside, "Come in!"

The secretary Yan, wearing a white shirt and a black blazer, rushed in with a tablet, a look of urgency on her face, "President Lin, there's big trouble!"

Lin Qingya frowned slightly; she didn't like her subordinates to panic like this, "Spit it out! What happened?"

"President Lin, I'm not sure how to report this."

With a wry smile, Secretary Yan handed over the tablet, "Maybe you should see for yourself?"

Lin Qingya didn't make a fuss and took the tablet.

"Who is he? The heir of the Lin Family throws herself into a stranger's arms!"

"Shocking! Famous Jinling City female president kisses a mystery man!"

"Scoop! Female president with the surname Lin seen entering a hotel with a mysterious man, intimate behavior, and staying the whole night!"

"Huge scandal! Live-in life of female president Lin XX in chaos, persona collapses instantly!"

"Blushing! Desperate for love, the female president of a certain group orders a duck delivery?"

Looking at one headline after another, paired with a blurry photo of herself kissing the bodyguard at the door last night, Lin Qingya was petrified on the spot.

She didn't need to read the content to know how they were smearing her and the Lin Corporation.

Dammit!

Who orchestrated all this!

Without time to ponder the question, Lin Qingya forced herself to calm down quickly.

She thought for a moment, speaking in a low voice, "When were these news articles first published? How many outlets are spreading them? Call their person in charge right away, tell them to retract the news immediately, or our legal department will be in contact!"

"Dare to spread rumors about me? I'll have them bankrupt!"

"President Lin... this isn't easy to handle."

Yan said with a wry smile, "The news about you and that mystery man is all over the internet now; we have no idea which one emerged first. Just the trending topics in Jinling City have taken over more than a dozen slots, we can't suppress it at all!"

"Plus, there are many internet trolls in action, leaving comments in various news articles about your relationship with that mystery man. Even if we wanted to sue, we wouldn't be able to keep up..."

Hearing this, Lin Qingya couldn't sit still any longer, and she shouted angrily, "Then what do you suggest we do? Just let these rumors fly around and defame me?"

Yan didn't answer, she took a deep breath, lifted her head, and earnestly looked at the president, "President Lin, is it really just a rumor?"

At these words, Lin Qingya's body trembled slightly, and she was momentarily at a loss for words.

Is it really just a rumor?

"President Lin, if I may be so bold, you're in a dangerous situation right now!"

Seeing the president remain silent, Yan spoke gravely, "You hold a high position and control the corporate power. In this half-year of restructuring the company, you brought a lot of benefits, but you also made quite a few enemies!"

"These people normally lie low and stay quiet, but once you truly run into trouble, they will definitely jump out and give you a hard time..."
