After meeting, Ling Feng finally understood why Yun Hanrui was so angry!

It turned out that this morning, Chaoyang Group had posted a fierce statement on their official Weibo, disassociating themselves completely from the incident and even threatening to pursue legal action against those spreading rumors.

After hearing Yun Hanrui's account, Ling Feng was shocked, "Has the person in charge lost their mind? Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire?"

"You can say that again!" Yun Hanrui said angrily, "All morning, the families of the victims have surrounded the Chaoyang Group headquarters, and countless media reporters are constantly covering the story, putting us in a very passive situation!"

Logically speaking, Chaoyang Group really had little to do with the incident, but society often sympathizes with the underdog. Even if wronged, to issue such a statement was undoubtedly challenging the public's fragile and sensitive nerves!

Netizens and keyboard warriors don't care whether you're wronged or not, or whether you're truly unrelated to the incident. They only know there's been an issue with Chaoyang Group's products; Chaoyang immediately tried to shirk responsibility after the "accident"!

A multitude of voices can melt gold, and rumors repeated become truth. It may take years or even decades to build a good corporate image, but to destroy it could take just a few days, or even a sudden incident!

Moreover, when the incident involves food safety and implicates a national brand like Chaoyang Group, the public naturally begins to doubt the truth of the situation.

Yun Hanrui opened a news website; mainstream media had already reported on it. Although the coverage was relatively fair, the comments section was in uproar.

Accusations of being an unethical company, colluding with officials, and various conspiracy theories were flying everywhere.

Yun Hanrui's eyebrows knitted tightly, and she bit her teeth in fury, "We can't let this continue; more than a decade of Chaoyang Group's reputation can't be smeared like this!"

"Do you have any ideas?" Ling Feng said gravely, "You should know, with the situation having developed to this point, if there's no one behind the scenes, it would be impossible! Our priority now is not to save our online reputation but to quickly find out who the actual manipulator is!"

Yun Hanrui shook her head, appearing somewhat disheartened, "I've also suspected that someone has been orchestrating this to hit Chaoyang Group, but after two days of investigation, I haven't found a single clue, which is what frustrates me the most!"

"Not a single clue? How is that possible!" Ling Feng also frowned. If things were as Yun Hanrui had said, then there could only be one reason: the person behind the scenes was very powerful, powerful enough to ensure Yun Hanrui came back empty-handed.

"Don't worry about it!" Ling Feng said, "Leave this to me. I will definitely catch the person behind the scenes and clear Chaoyang Group's name!"

Just then, the office door of the President's office rattled, and an anxious voice came from outside, "President Yun, it's bad news, there's been an incident!"

It turned out that just moments ago, the condition of one of the victims had suddenly worsened, and they had been moved to the intensive care unit.

"How could this be!" Yun Hanrui said in surprise, "Our products, even if not suitable for someone, should at most cause gastrointestinal discomfort, vomiting, and diarrhea!"

Ling Feng patted Yun Hanrui on the shoulder and said, "Now is not the time to discuss this. I think the person behind the scenes has started to make their move!"

Yun Hanrui shuddered at the implication, "You mean they want to use this incident to strike at Chaoyang Group? Is the deterioration of the situation also part of their scheming?"

"Very likely!" Ling Feng said seriously, "Hence, catching the mastermind is imperative! You handle soothing the patients' families, and I will find out who is behind all this as soon as possible. Don't worry, no matter how fierce the storm, I won't let you get hurt!"

Yun Hanrui felt a surge of determination and nodded, "Okay, Ting Yu and I will handle things on this end, I'm counting on you to find the mastermind!"

...

Liangbao Health Products, claiming to enhance immunity and improve physical constitution, had seen blazing sales thanks to Chaoyang Group's backing. However, after dozens of adverse incidents, the company producing Liangbao Health Products had halted production.

"Huiju Group!" Ling Feng arrived at the company that manufactured Liangbao Health Products, and seeing the company's sign, a chilly smile played on his lips.

Set a thief to catch a thief. If there was a manipulator behind this affair, Huiju Group could not escape involvement! In just one week, to drag Chaoyang Group into the mud and spark such widespread public outrage, this was no stroke of fortune; it was a premeditated plan.

"Since you wanted to target Chaoyang Group, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" Ling Feng sneered, and then headed towards Huiju Group.

Ordinary methods would be ineffective; Ling Feng was well aware of this. Hence he decided to take an unusual path. As long as the truth came to light, who would care about the method?

Ling Feng sneaked into Huiju Group and made his way to the chairman's office; from inside, he heard a man's voice—it was the person Ling Feng was looking for, the chairman of Huiju Group, Chen Yang.

Even through the door, Ling Feng could hear his voice clearly.

"The situation is very bad now. Many distributors have returned the products, demanding breach of contract penalties. The company can't even muster a million yuan! If this continues, we'll declare bankruptcy!" Chen Yang spoke with an urgent tone.

"Don't worry, all the pressure is on Chaoyang Group now!" the voice on the phone said, "As long as you insist that it's Chaoyang Group's fault, I'll handle the rest!"

"Alright then…"

...

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang slammed his fist onto the desk, eyes blazing with anger.

A month ago, his company had secured cooperation with Chaoyang Group; he thought he was about to board their fast-moving train. But then the nightmare began.

"If not for you all, how could my Huiju Group have fallen to this miserable state!" Chen Yang muttered to himself, "You ruined me."

"So, do you want revenge?" At that moment, a playful voice came from the office, "Seeing how furious you are, I think we should have a proper talk!"

"Who's there!" Chen Yang's face changed as he quickly looked towards the direction of the voice. A young man was sitting on the sofa next to the window, smiling at him, "Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Ling Feng, from Chaoyang Group."
