Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

The white-haired old man was currently facing away from him, standing in front of the glass floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the city skyline.

”You put someone in the ICU, and you’re still angry?” the old man said calmly, without turning his head.

”Dad, that bitch even hooked up with my private doctor. I was already merciful by not beating them to death,” Zheng Mingtao said through gritted teeth.

”I know. You did well in this matter. My Zheng Family’s dignity is not to be insulted casually. You don’t need to worry about the aftermath; I will handle it.”

”It’s not over, Dad. Xu Ting of Donghai Group, and that pretty boy, made me lose face at last night’s banquet! My reputation in Jiangcheng’s wealthy circles is ruined! I’m going to kill them!”

The old man narrowed his eyes.

He had heard about this matter; his son had provoked it first. But he only had this one son, born late in life, so he naturally doted on him immensely. This also led to his son developing a promiscuous nature, becoming spoiled at a young age.

However, Xu Ting of Donghai Group dared to mock his son’s illness, which had already touched his reverse scale.

”The Xu Family’s power should not be underestimated, but in Jiangcheng, we don’t need to fear them. Dad will help you vent this anger, but to deal with Xu Ting, we must use commercial means.”

”What means?”

”Now that she foolishly bought several abandoned land plots, she’s already caught in a storm of public opinion. We just need to give her a push to send her into the abyss,” a cold glint flashed in the old man’s eyes.

Although Zheng Mingtao was a profligate son, he wasn’t entirely useless. He frowned and said, ”But public opinion among ordinary people is of no use.”

The old man turned around, walked to his side, ruffled his hair, and said kindly, ”Public opinion among ordinary people is indeed useless, but sometimes they are blind and easily swayed, stirring up the waters can also have unexpected effects. Furthermore, you must remember that the Xu Family is not monolithic. Starting from within will hurt her more.”

Zheng Mingtao said somewhat unwillingly, ”Dad, then... that kid, I can use other methods, right?”

”As you wish. He’s just an insignificant nobody.”

Zheng Mingtao said sinisterly, ”Hehehe... insignificant nobodies need a good education!”

That afternoon, Fangming Real Estate bought off a large number of media outlets and began to exert pressure.

”Deep Dive into Donghai Group’s ’Money Laundering’ Suspicions”

”What Secrets Lie Behind Xu Ting’s Shell Company?”

Articles continuously began to exaggerate Donghai Group’s investment failures, while simultaneously fostering another narrative: ”Chairwoman Xu Ting is laundering money!”

These rumors, fueled by malicious individuals, began to spread. What was originally small-scale, niche news rapidly expanded, attracting widespread attention from netizens.

At the same time, a chain reaction began: Donghai Group’s stock price plummeted by 12%, wiping out nearly billions in market value.

Everything happened too fast, catching Xu Ting completely off guard.

She never imagined that assisting Lu Feng in purchasing the three land plots would push the company into the eye of the storm.

The secretary said anxiously, ”Someone must be fanning the flames behind this, Chairwoman Xu. Many shareholders are already questioning us. We must respond quickly. I’ll get the public relations department over now.”

Xu Ting shook her head: ”Call an emergency board meeting!”

Under Xu Ting’s arrangement, the board meeting was quickly convened.

In the luxurious conference room, a high-grade solid wood conference table stretched north to south, now filled with people.

The last time Xu Ting saw such a scene was when she took office as Chairman. She never expected to be forced to convene one again so soon, and this time, she could feel the palpable hostility.

She smiled bitterly in her heart: ”Little Lu, you’ve really caused big sister a lot of trouble this time.”

The atmosphere was very serious. Xu Ting took a deep breath and slowly began, ”I believe everyone has seen the current public opinion. The main reason I’ve called this board meeting is to emphasize...”

She was interrupted before she could finish.

”Chairwoman Xu, you really should give us an explanation. Your decision this time was too hasty. Spending 450 million to buy three waste plots without even a market survey?”
