Tianheng Entertainment Newspaper was also a part of Qiao Company, publishing a huge amount of news and generating good results for Tianheng every year.
They needed to withdraw this issue of the newspaper or the loss of human and financial resources wasnât enough. This issue offended someone, and the other party sent him scandalous videos  of several superstars of Tianheng. If they didnât comply, the other part would publish the scandals of the companyâs cash cows, effectively cutting off the entire chain of Tianhenâs funds
Even some of the bosses from several high profile companies with whom they had good collaborations called and urged him to withdraw the paper without saying what was happening.
He had been in the industry for decades, so how could he not know that there must be someone important in this report, and the subject of this covert retaliation. After flipping through the entire paper, he thought about it and found nothing particularly noteworthy in the news except for the prominent headlines.
Qiao Nan was silent for a moment. âThe brother and sister in the back seat of my car that day were from the Yun family?â
âThe Yun family? Is that the Yun family of the military family?â Mrs. Qiaoâs eyes lit up, and then she frowned. âArenât they covered in mosaic? And theyâre asking us to withdraw the entire newspaper?â
Father Qiao propped his hand on his forehead, his head in pain. âIf it wasnât the Yun family who did it, who was the girl sitting next to Qiao Nan that day?â
Qiao Nan propped his elbows on his knees, his gaze fixed on the coffee table, and he shook his head in the face of his parentsâ enquiry. âI donât know.â
âSon, donât lie. You called her Jiaâer?â Mrs. Qiao calculated again. The girl might have had a remarkable identity.
âI really donât know, sheâs my former girlfriend. Weâve broken up, and we just met, so I gave her a ride because it was on the way.â He didnât want to get Jiaâer into any trouble, he didnât think she had a special background.
He had known her for five years. During their high school years, when she was busy with her studies, many of the students in their classroom had their parents deliver their meals. Her mother came to school to deliver her food. She was an ordinary-looking woman who dressed normally and waited for her at the school gate every day to deliver her meals.
Jiaâer rarely mentioned her family either. Qiaonan briefly explained Li Jiaâs family situation.
When Mrs. Qiao heard Qiao Nan say that her name was Li Jia and that she was a former girlfriend, her face changed several times and there was a touch of contempt under her eyes. âHoney, Iâve seen that girl too, her family is ordinary. Iâve seen her mother before when I went to Qiao Nanâs school, just an ordinary housewife wearing ordinary clothes.â
âThatâs strange.â Father Qiaoâs heart grew suspicious, had he misjudged?
âThen again, the Yun family is no ordinary family, they have quite a few political figures in their family. If our Qiao Nan gets close to the Yun familyâs children, they can also help you out a little more.â Mrs. Qiao gave Qiao Nan a wink.
Qiao Nan was distracted. âIâll leave first if thereâs nothing else, the crew has other things to do today.â
**********
Lu Consortium, presidentâs office.
When Yu Qing knocked on the door, Lu Yichen asked straightforwardly, âHow did things go?â
âItâs all done, Missy is keeping a low profile, no one should find out that itâs related to her.â Yu Qing found his bossâs attitude towards his sister a little strange.
Lu Yichen didnât comment, crossing his fingers and resting his elbows on the tabletop. His jaw rested on the back of his hands as he let out a long breath of relief.
âPass me a copy of Qiaoâs information.â
âOkay.â
The newspaper matter didnât affect Li Jia; she was busy with her taekwondo training over the summer and only came home every night.
Lu Yichen was even busier during the day, with the total decision making of Luâs huge operational system resting on him alone.
One night when he returned home after a busy day of work and socialising, the house lights were still on and he checked the time, it was already 11pm.
Li Jia was curled up barefoot on the sofa in a pale blue halter-night dress, watching TV, which was still on. She was asleep with her head tilted and body curled up, her long hair falling from the sofa to the floor, soft and black.
Lu Yichen took off his glasses and tiptoed over to her, pressed his lips against her pink, moist lips and nibbled lightly.
