Chapter 209: A Beautiful Visitor

When Yan Wenhan gleefully informed Xia Yu of Huang Yulang's predicament, Xia Yu only gave a faint smile, with no visible reaction internally. 

This was entirely within his expectations!

From the moment he pinned the blame for the harm to youth and society on Huang Yulang and *Dragon Gate*, their downfall was already predetermined!

Such a massive burden, Huang Yulang's small stature could never bear it. If it had been someone like Li Superman, with tremendous influence, there might have been a way to handle it, but Huang Yulang lacked the capability.

Furthermore, Xia Yu was deliberate in his planning. He had calculated many times to ensure success. When he acted, it was always with overwhelming force.

Within a single day, public opinion had shifted dramatically. The situation was continually exacerbated, leading to Huang Yulang's swift downfall and a severe blow to the entire comic industry.

Huang Yulang was just an ordinary person. Under such harsh conditions, what could he possibly do in just a few days? He could only watch helplessly, and before he had time to come up with a response, the axe had already fallen.

Xia Yu's intricate plotting was not something an ordinary person could easily break.

If it were to be countered, where would he put his face?

Although Huang Yulang's fate was sealed, Xia Yu's plan was far from over.

This was merely the prelude!

Xia Yu's plan was grand. Now, with *Fengyun Daily* making a significant impact and establishing a powerful reputation, this reputation came at the cost of an entire industry's downfall.

As the saying goes, destruction is easy, construction is hard!

Since Xia Yu intended to enter the comic industry, how could he allow it to be destroyed? That would be detrimental to his own interests.

Moreover, the name *Fengyun Daily* was quite fitting. It carried the flavor of "watching the world's changes from home," and could also be interpreted as "a single article can overturn the world."

Therefore, *Fengyun Daily* intended to show its ability to control the situation!

If it could make an industry fall apart, it could surely restore it!

But there was no rush. Although the heat had decreased somewhat due to the Hong Kong government's intervention, there were still substantial benefits to be gained.

As the vanguard of speaking up for youth, *Fengyun Daily* had to see it through, fully squeezing out the remaining heat and converting it into their own sales and credibility!

Additionally, to prepare for the next move, some time was needed for a buffer and to lay the groundwork.

While *Fengyun Daily* continued to expand its influence, time had passed unnoticed, and it was soon Saturday.

Early in the morning, after practicing Tai Chi and having breakfast, Xia Yu went out.

This day was the release day for *The Legend of the Qin*, and also the grand debut day for Jiu Ding Publishing Company.

Although the comic industry had been in turmoil these past few days, not all attention was focused on this hot topic.

With the powerful advertising of *Jiu Ding Daily* and the extensive offline promotion by distributors across Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia, news of *The Legend of the Qin*'s release had already reached the ears of those who needed to know.

Early in the morning, many bookstores had long lines outside. Although many had pre-ordered their copies and would definitely get their books that day, the eager bookworms didn't want to wait any longer.

If they hadn't known the contents were already written, they might have waited patiently. But now that they knew what was coming, they didn't want to wait a minute longer and were eager to know what the story held.

Furthermore, this final volume included the conclusion, containing the most essential parts of the book. All the plot points set up earlier would be resolved in this volume, and many long-standing mysteries would be unveiled. The attraction of this final volume was immense.

Thus, many people were willing to wake up early and stand in line to get a glimpse as soon as possible!

For the release of *The Legend of the Qin*, everything that needed to be done had been done over the past few days. Today, it was only necessary to promptly collect data from various channels, manage new orders, and handle book distribution.

For such tasks, Gai Wen·Peter was sufficient; there was no need for Xia Yu to be present. He had more important matters to attend to.

Xia Yu's car navigated through Hong Kong and soon arrived at a dock in Kowloon, the closest to Macau.

"Woo…"

The refreshing sea breeze made Xia Yu instinctively close his eyes. The sound of the ship's horn drew his attention.

"Hi, Xia Yu, I'm here!"

From the ship, a cheerful voice called out. Xia Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl in a long dress joyfully waving at him. The sea breeze made her hair flutter, but she still exuded a natural beauty.

The girl was none other than He Chaohong.

Xia Yu smiled and walked towards the dock where the ship was moored.

"Xia Yu, I'm here. Thank you for coming to pick me up!"

When the ship docked, He Chaohong, holding up her dress, cheerfully ran towards Xia Yu. Behind her, two bodyguards followed at a discreet distance.

Returning his gaze from the bodyguards to He Chaohong running towards him, Xia Yu smiled and said, "You've come to Kowloon, of course, I have to come pick you up."

Hearing this, He Chaohong gave a sweet smile, a hint of happiness appearing in her eyes.

"Xia Yu, it's been a while since I last saw you. Where are we going to have fun today?"

He Chaohong tilted her head slightly and blinked her big eyes as she asked.

"Whatever you want to do, we'll do it. I'm the host today, so I'll accompany the beautiful lady."

Xia Yu joked.

"Hehe, I don't need your life."

Though He Chaohong knew Xia Yu was joking, she was genuinely happy. She pouted playfully and said, though her smile revealed her true feelings.

Over the past two months, Xia Yu and He Chaohong had become increasingly familiar. Every Saturday and Sunday, He Chaohong would come to Kowloon at least once, either to visit Xia Yu or his sister.

Xia Yu was well aware of He Chaohong's little intentions, but with such an active pursuit from a beautiful woman, he couldn't bring himself to discourage her.

Moreover, despite being only sixteen in this life, Xia Yu's psychological age was that of an old bachelor due to his past life. It was natural to be interested in women.

However, Xia Yu was too mature to experience the excitement of a romance.

Thus, despite He Chaohong's affection, Xia Yu didn't feel particularly moved. He didn't take any active steps, but he wouldn't reject her either. Everything went with the flow.

After all, he was in need of a woman, and He Chaohong just happened to appear in front of him and developed feelings for him.

What the future holds, Xia Yu couldn't say. He decided to let things develop naturally.

As for fate, who can truly predict it?
