Chapter 1371: Chapter 1371: The Lingering Bastard
The Godfather actually asked him to go to such a place. Was it because of her? Was the Godfather trying to test him again, or was there another hidden agenda?
But no matter the reason, he had no choice but to go.
Third Young Master Jun put away the invitation and had already made up his mind. A subtle and eerie glimmer flickered in his eyes. Even if it was a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair, it could still be an excellent opportunity.
He was anxiously searching for a chance to find that person. This was a major opportunity!
But how could he avoid the Godfather’s surveillance, not raise his suspicion, and manage to make contact with that person?
"I’ll go. Did he leave any instructions on what I should do at the banquet?"
"No. The Godfather simply said he wasn’t an unreasonable man. At the very least, he should let you meet Ye Lu."
Ha! So kind-hearted? Really?
Third Young Master Jun remained unconvinced.
"Lie Feng, leave. I’d like to rest for a while."
Lie Feng looked at his increasingly pale face, revealing a faint sense of worry. "Third Young Master, your health... Should I call a doctor for you?"
Third Young Master Jun shot him a chillingly cold side glance. "Do you want me dead?"
Lie Feng didn’t dare say another word. He knew Third Young Master had always been tormented by the outbreaks of that virus, but he had no idea how long he could hold out. Yet no matter his condition, they absolutely couldn’t let the Godfather find out about it. Even if Third Young Master continued to earn the Godfather’s favor, if his physical health couldn’t meet the Godfather’s expectations, the Godfather wouldn’t waste his time on him. The pitiful outcome would inevitably lead to merciless extermination!
"Leave!" Third Young Master waved his hand impatiently.
Lie Feng had no choice but to step out.
Third Young Master sat in the chair for a long time, then took a box out of the safe and opened the packaging.
With a snap, his pale fingers pressed the box shut. Only then did his face gradually regain composure, though a cold glint shimmered in his eyes!
It seemed some drastic measures would have to be taken.
...
Ye Lu thought the Jun Family couple would soon step forward to clarify the situation, but before that happened, another wave of media attacks targeting her character suddenly erupted. This time, the uproar was even greater—clearly organized, premeditated, and deliberately orchestrated.
Every day, explosive details were released to grab public attention, as if it were an ongoing soap opera, with daily twists and shocking revelations, maintaining the story’s escalating presence in the media.
With a resounding snap, Ye Lu threw the newspaper aside in the office, her face darkened to the extreme.
Jun Shi truly was a lingering ghost.
Suppressing her anger, she rested for a moment, then calmed her emotions and focused on her work.
She was too aware of the intent behind those reports—nothing more than trying to unsettle her, make her agitated and distracted, unable to handle company matters properly or fully commit to the competition. The more this happened, the more she had to stay composed and not fall into their trap.
She certainly couldn’t afford to waste time at such a critical moment in the competition.
Still, she couldn’t completely ignore it either.
Ye Lu thought for a moment, then dialed a domestic number!
"Miss, here’s the latest delivery of newspapers!" The secretary entered, somewhat awkwardly holding a stack of papers.
Ye Lu gestured indifferently. "Set them aside. By the way, how’s the preparation for today’s company meeting?"
The secretary looked slightly surprised. "Given the current situation, doesn’t the President plan to hold a press conference to clear things up? There are plenty of media outlets camped outside the company right now!"
