Capítulo 1157: Chapter 1157: Mr. Song’s Favoritism
Lai Yuaner clenched her cellphone.
She didn’t believe a word of what Tang Li said!
That Tang woman just wanted to use this to cover up her own shaful background!
As if guessing what she was thinking, Tang Li’s voice ca again: “Now that your parents are no longer around, you can check their marriage certificate and see if the date is after you were born?”
Upon hearing this, Lai Yuaner’s face turned pale.
Tang Li no longer cared about her reaction and directly hung up the call.
When Tang Li answered the call, Song Jingtian had been next to her all along. Seeing her hang up so abruptly, the little fellow voiced his displeasure: “Your younger sister is causing trouble online, and you don’t even scold her a bit.”
Tang Li looked at him: “Do you think she’d understand if I did?”
Song Jingtian: “…”
Seems like that’s true!
The little fellow plopped down next to Tang Li: “Now everyone knows whose daughter you are, so when do you plan to et your grandfather?”
Tang Li: “In fifty years.”
Provided that Song Baiyan lives to eighty-two.
“That long?!” In fifty years, he’d be fifty-eight.
How could he still shalessly ask for a red envelope?
Tang Li looked at Song Jingtian again: “Would you be very disappointed if I die in fifty years?”
Song Jingtian: “…”
“What do you an die or not?” The little fellow quickly crawled onto the sofa, massaging her shoulders as he explained, “I just want you to reunite with your family sooner.”
Tang Li: …
Song Jingtian wanted to persuade her further but feared overstepping, so he hinted: “The weather’s getting cold, and I wonder if Old General Ouyang’s rheumatism has relapsed.”
Upon hearing Ouyang Zhen’s na, what else was unclear?
Tang Li asked him: “Did you see that post in G district?”
“Of course!” Song Jingtian’s little hands kept moving, sighing as he spoke: “Old General Ouyang is a great hero who fought in the counterattack war. He’ll definitely see the post too. Poor old man, his daughter and son-in-law were kidnapped, his grandson is also in trouble, and at his age, he’s missing a granddaughter to care for him.”
Tang Li could see through the little fellow’s intentions at a glance.
“You want to pretend to be his granddaughter?”
“How can you call it pretending?” Song Jingtian stopped massaging her and sat back beside her: “Our teacher said it’s called righting the wrongs.”
Tang Li corrected him: “Isn’t it more like plotting to seize fortune and harm lives?”
The little fellow couldn’t respond, choked by her words.
Just when Tang Li intended to ask Feng Qi to deal with G district’s post, Wu Xuehan popped up in the #Three Golden Flowers# WeChat group.
[Get Rich Wu]: “@Yu’s Family Only One: You caused my G district account to get banned. [crying.jpg]”
Soone chose to play dead when their account got bombed.
When Tang Li refreshed G district again, she found the tall building post was gone.
In its place was a notice from the admin about account banishnt.
[Admin 005: Based on nurous user reports and an official investigation, it was found that the user ‘Nanny Rong’s Spy’ posted unverified insinuating content in G district, causing severe impact and violating community guidelines. The post has been deleted and the user banned.]
Tang Li sent a ssage to the group: “So, the post was written by you guys?”
[Get Rich Wu]: “Not ! It was Yu Sui! @Yu’s Family Only One”
[Yu’s Family Only One]: “Trying to distance yourself now? When I was writing it, you wouldn’t stop chirping away! That chicken nad Fu Gui, you provided the firsthand information!”
At this mont, Tang Li received a few voice ssages from Feng Qi.
——[Lai Yuaner’s Weibo has been muted.]
——[That ‘My Ningning is the only beauty’ faced the sa fate.]
——[Weibo officially criticized Yang Ning, saying she indulged her fans in creating conflicts and exacerbating group disputes, leading to her studio account being directly banned.]
Tang Li: “…”
She asked Feng Qi: “Yang Ning got involved too?”
Feng Qi countered her: “What do you think?”
[Tang Li]: “…”
On Weibo, Yang Ning had already posted a statent using her main account.
After apologizing to the public, Yang Ning made a complete break from ‘My Ningning is the only beauty,’ an eight-year-old fan.
When Tang Li logged in, she received a private ssage from Yang Ning.
[Yang Ning V]: “Ha!”
[Yang Ning V]: “You’re sothing else!”
[Tang Li]: “…?”
Yang Ning didn’t reply again.
Aunt Min ca to notify them about dinner just as Weibo issued another statent.
The statent noted that to purify the internet environnt, they would cooperate with the Internet Information Office to investigate and address false statents, and any accounts that post violations will face permanent bans.
Just as Tang Li sat down at the dinner table, Lai Yuaner’s Weibo faced account suspension.
Following suit was [My Ningning is the only beauty V].
The developnt of events, contrary to what Tang Li expected, correlated none whatsoever.
Lai Yuaner’s online revelations indeed stirred a storm but were not directed at Tang Li; instead, it targeted herself and Yang Ning.
The statent Tang Li had issued saw few inquiries up to this point.
Song Baiyan didn’t co upstairs for dinner.
At eight o’clock sharp, a hot search suddenly appeared on Weibo.
The Capital police released an important announcent.
——Just half an hour ago, Lai Wenyan and his wife, who were kidnapped to Shan State, were successfully rescued.
Tang Li hadn’t received any prior notice.
In other words, it was a spontaneous rescue mission.
Tang Li checked the hot searches for a while longer before quietly leaving the living room for the first floor.
The West Wing office area was still brightly lit. Tang Li lingered near the entrance, unsure how much ti had passed before finally encountering soone familiar—He Wei, who was coming out of a room holding a docunt.
He Wei was about to head to the secretary’s office when he heard soone calling him. Approaching, he recognized it was Tang Li.
Before Tang Li could speak, he offered information proactively: “His Excellency is still in the war room. A joint operation between the two countries launched a raid on Kun’s village in Shan State. One bandit leader was caught on the spot, while another escaped injured. His Excellency, the Vice President, and the Secretary of State watched the operation live and are now negotiating with Burma regarding the extradition process.”
Tang Li asked: “The one who got away was——”
“That Drug Lord nad Wu Ming.”
These details would be publicly disclosed in the coming days.
So, He Wei didn’t hide it from Tang Li: “Kun was caught on-site and will likely be escorted back to the country by the action team. Yun Province is already making preparations.”
Presumably, due to proximity, Kun would be detained in Yun Province.
“Oh right.” He Wei opened the folder, taking out so photos to hand to Tang Li: “Councilman Lai is not in life-threatening danger, just sustained so injuries.”
Tang Li took the photos.
When she saw the bandaged head of Lai Wenyan: “…”
He Wei explained beside her: “The head injury was caused by Kun using a gunstock to hit him. It’s not serious, mainly it’s the wound on his buttocks.”
Tang Li looked up: “What happened to his buttocks?”
“Based on the field report from the action team, Councilman Lai was discovered hanging upside down from a tree with seven darts stuck in his buttocks.”
Tang Li: “…”
“As for his wife, she was found in a pigsty.”
Tang Li didn’t think the village had pigs.
He Wei clarified: “According to the criminal’s confession, after the capture of Councilman Lai and his wife, they refused to cooperate and trade in the swallowed batch of white powder, so Kun had them living in an abandoned pigsty, with als consisting of slop.”
Tang Li: “…”
Would soone proud like Ouyang Qian even touch slop?
Tang Li couldn’t picture that scene.
After He Wei left, Tang Li sat on the steps of the hallway.
It was almost ten o’clock.
While waiting, she dozed off.
Lost in slumber, her feet suddenly left the ground.
Tang Li woke up startled, her eyes opened to a familiar shirt collar.
Reassured, she wrapped her arms around Song Baiyan’s neck, subtly tightening her grip.
“Sleeping here would have turned all the garden mosquitoes into gluttons.”
Tang Li listened to the man’s indulgent tease while informing, “Today, the Internet Information Office started a specific action to rectify internet chaos.”
“Lai Yuaner wanted to expose my connection with Lai Wenyan, but hit a brick wall.”
Song Baiyan chuckled: “So, in the end, the expose failed?”
Tang Li looked up at him: “You didn’t know?”
The question was deflected: “Should I have known?”
Tang Li pursed her lips.
How could it be possible that Song Baiyan didn’t know?
——
Good night.
