Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Are You Stupid???
The Nangong Family panicked, so they deleted their previous statement and sent out a new one.
Basically, it said that it was their fault for not having ascertained the truth of the matter, but they were also deceived. Hua Xiang only came into contact with them after a name change, which led them to be blinded.
In any case, it was all about confusing the public, focusing all the key points on Hua Xiang's name change.
But do you think netizens are so easily fooled???
Of course not!
This generation of netizens can be said to be the most combative one. Once they start investigating the truth of a matter, it means that the issue won't end anytime soon.
Plus, with the Nangong Family already having partnered with Hua Xiang, you think we'd believe what you say? If we did, it'd be a damn miracle!!!
"Ugh! Nangong Family, when will you give up? Really think all of us are brain-dead? That we'd believe whatever you say? Disgusting! Just scram, your presence annoys me!"
"Brothers, the Nangong Family isn't just collaborating with Hua Xiang, they are insulting our intelligence! Charge, charge, charge! Take down all of the Nangong Family's companies!"
"These two statements from the Nangong Family show no remorse, they are like talking without actually saying anything in today's context. Maybe the Nangong Family should change their PR team?"
"I propose investigating all of the Nangong Family's industries to see what other illegal and disorderly things they're doing!"
"+1"
"+2"
"..."
"+10086"
This apology, which reeked of passing the buck, not only failed to quench the netizens' rage but, like pouring fuel on fire, it made everyone's commenting speed increase even more!
Soon, the stock value of the companies under the Nangong Family plummeted cliff-like, evaporating 35% in just one morning!
And in the stock market, because of the Nangong Family's incident, the "little leeks" dumped their shares en masse, causing many companies to hit rock bottom with limit-downs today!
Nangong Han, far away in Magic Capital, sat helplessly in his chair and zoned out after seeing these results. He couldn't understand how, in such a short period of time, Song Yun had turned the tables and counterattacked the Nangong Family.
Could it really be that the Nangong Family was on the decline?
"Nangong Han... you shouldn't have messed with President Song," Zhuang Siheng no longer held that respectful tone as he sighed and said coldly, "Now with the stock price of companies under the Nangong Family plummeting, President Song is buying in on a large scale. With enough funds, President Song will become the chairman of all your family's companies!"
Song Yun's current move could be said to have put a perfect full stop to this battle.
Consequently, the Zhao Family and the Ouyang Family in Forty-nine City were both completely dumbfounded.
What was going on? While they were still entangled with the Nangong Family, why had those companies all changed hands?
Upon instructing their subordinates to investigate, they discovered it was Song Yun's doing.
The Zhao Family and the Ouyang Family immediately shut their mouths. Just kidding, they had a good relationship with Song Yun, and this could be seen as doing a favor for Song Yun's dad. It's just that this kid was too good at seizing opportunities!
"Zhuang Siheng, are you planning to run off to Song Yun now?"
At this point, Nangong Han had no trace of ripples in his heart. Compared to the mess that was the Nangong Family's affairs, the betrayal of a small character amounted to nothing.
"Ha! Nangong Han, you think too highly of yourself. Initially, I just wanted to board your ship to make some money. Now that your Nangong Family has played itself to death, should I accompany you to the grave?" Zhuang Siheng sneered, "I'm a very pragmatic person. I stand with whoever can bring me benefits."
"If you think the Nangong Family will fall just like this, then you're really underestimating us!" Nangong Han stood up and stretched lazily, "The essence of our family is not about making money, you see!"
As these words were uttered, Zhuang Siheng was instantly drenched in sweat. That's right, even if he gave all the companies to Song Yun, what would it matter?
The Nangong Family would have suffered some damage to their vitality, that's all.
But within the system, the Nangong Family's power remained formidable!
Zhuang Siheng was struck dumb.
Nangong Han laughed and patted Zhuang Siheng's shoulder, saying, "You see, the thing I hate most is a traitor. My method is to clean house first then deal with enemies. What you just said has made me see you clearly. Take good care of yourself."
Having said that, he left with his driver, departing from the Zhuang residence.
Zhuang Siheng collapsed onto the ground. It was over; now it was truly over. He had thought he could humiliate Nangong Han, to vent the anger he felt about how he had been treated recently. But it was exactly this rashness that muddled his thinking and made him say things he shouldn't have.
The Zhuang family henceforth had no place in the Magic Capital!
"Get in contact with Father's side, use any power necessary to crush Song Yun! If such a person is allowed to grow, he will become a venomous dragon and severely devastate the Nangong Family!"
Nangong Han sat in the car with his eyes closed, resting. His driver, puzzled, asked, "Young Master, aren't we heading back to Forty-nine City?"
"I want to see Song Yun dead!"
Far away in Forty-nine City, Ouyang Shu was tending to the vegetables in his own courtyard when Ouyang Rong burst through the door, urgently saying, "Father, we might not be able to suppress all the information about Song Yun any longer!"
"Take it easy, speak slowly."
Ouyang Shu, the old master, washed his hands in a basin and took the teacup handed to him by his son.
"Song Yun has acquired all the companies... under the Nangong Family's flag!"
"Pfft!!!"
The old master Ouyang Shu spat out a mouthful of water, and without bothering to wipe the droplets off his beard, he asked in shock, "All of them?"
"Yes, all of them!" Ouyang Rong sighed and said, "Originally him becoming the Magic Capital's wealthiest was eye-catching enough, but now, every prominent family in Forty-nine City knows the Nangong Family has angered Song Yun. After Song Yun struck back, the companies of the Nangong Family changed hands..."
"This kid... is no less than his father..." Old Master Ouyang Shu clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Old Master, is now really the time for amazement? Shouldn't we be doing something?" Ouyang Rong was almost freaking out, but seeing his father's leisurely demeanor, he almost wished he could carry his father to the Magic Capital himself. At least with the old master there, Song Yun's safety would be absolutely assured!
"What comes will come, let it be," Ouyang Shu said indifferently, fanning himself: "Have Xiao Cheng pay a visit to Magic Capital, to meet with Song Yun and incidentally knock some sense into the Nangong Family."
"Really???"
"Do the words of your old man contain falsehood?!"
Old Master Ouyang Shu glared, and Ouyang Rong bashfully chuckled twice, standing behind his father, flatteringly massaging his shoulders and back.
Xiao Cheng was the old master Ouyang Shu's secretary, handling some official matters on behalf of the old master. Outside, he was essentially the old master's proxy. His presence in Magic Capital meant that whoever wanted to move against Song Yun had to think twice.
And most importantly, Xiao Cheng was the Nangong Family's son-in-law, having married the current family head's younger sister. With him mediating in the middle, the Nangong Family dared not play dirty tricks.
"And what of Song Yun's identity?" Ouyang Rong asked with concern.
"Are you dumb?" Old Master Ouyang Shu gave his son a bewildered look, feeling as if the boy wasn't his own.
We're already unable to suppress it, and you can't tell that sending Xiao Cheng to Magic Capital is a signal of protection???
