"Security."
"Security."
Jiang Shuqin shouted loudly.
Soon, security guards rushed over and dragged the female employee away.
Seeing no hope of returning to Jiang Yutong's company, the other employees also left dejectedly.
"Click."
"Click."
Those photographers were still taking pictures and recording.
Jiang Shuqin noticed.
"Still filming here!" she said angrily. "All of you, get out!"
These were all people Wan'er spent money to invite to the celebration banquet, yet one after another, they were reporting negative news about Wan'er's company.
A bunch of ungrateful wretches!
They were not welcome at their celebration banquet.
Seeing the banquet disband and having nothing good left to film, the reporters didn't linger.
"Let's go, let's leave."
The reporters and photographers left one after another.
As they walked, they couldn't help but exclaim.
"What happened today was really explosive, it was worth coming."
"Right, today's reports will definitely get a lot of traffic."
"Do you think Lin Xuan could have arranged all this today?"
"I think it's possible! The Lin family treated Lin Xuan like that, it's normal for him not to want them to have it easy. Besides, if Lin Xuan wasn't involved in this, why would he come with Jiang Yutong?"
"True. If Lin Xuan really had a hand in this, then he's formidable. The recent major scandals, like Lin Li's affair with Qin Ruoyao, Lin Li being exposed as a eunuch at the wedding, and bringing down Xinghui Group—Lin Xuan was involved in all these big stories. He's really something, this scandal-maker."
"Right, right. These all have one thing in common: they happened at banquets. We should pay more attention in the future to which banquets Lin Xuan attends and find ways to sneak in!"
The employees left, the reporters and photographers left.
The originally lively celebration banquet quickly became deserted.
Only the Lin family members remained.
And the three spectators: Lin Xuan, Jiang Yutong, and Lei Hui.
Lei Hui asked quietly, "Boss, should we leave now?"
Lin Xuan curled his lips. "No hurry."
"There's more good drama to come later. I haven't made my entrance yet."
He figured these Lin family members would soon come to him.
Jiang Shuqin had been staring grimly at Lin Xuan.
Lin Qingwan sat on the floor, looking devastated.
"Dad, what should I do now?"
"This is the company I've worked hard for many years to build. Dad, Mom, I don't want it to go bankrupt."
She had plagiarized products from Jiang Yutong's company.
It was a nailed-on fact that her Supreme Series skincare products caused facial disfigurement.
She couldn't see any way out for her company.
"Dad."
Lin Qingwan said with red-rimmed eyes, "Tell me, what should I do now?"
Lin Chang's mind was also a mess.
"I don't know either," he said, shaking his head.
Last time, his company faced a similar scene.
Plagiarism...
Being denounced and cursed by countless people.
All the company's games crashed.
Years of development at Xinghui Group were wiped out in just a few days...
"Big sister, how could you do something like plagiarizing skincare products from another company?"
Both Lin Qingyan and Lin Qingxiu found it hard to accept.
In their eyes, their big sister had always been very capable and decisive.
She had always been their role model.
Yet... she plagiarized...
Lin Qingwan shook her head. "I didn't want to. I simply don't have the financial resources like Jiang Yutong to develop a skincare company, nor can I find such good skincare researchers."
The skincare products their company developed themselves sold very poorly.
Only the copied products were relatively popular.
After tasting the sweetness of copying Jiang Yutong's products, she started down the path of plagiarism.
Every time Jiang Yutong's company released a skincare product, they would copy it.
They might slightly alter the formula, but it was largely the same.
This time, how did it fail...
"Lin Xuan!"
Jiang Shuqin rushed over.
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Here we go."
Jiang Yutong and Lei Hui very consciously moved aside.
They crossed their arms in unison, watching the drama unfold.
"It must be you!"
Jiang Shuqin charged up to Lin Xuan.
"You arranged all of today's events, didn't you?"
"Mrs. Chen, the Weibo hot searches, Zhong Yan—it was all you!"
"No, no."
Jiang Shuqin shook her head. "Not just that. From the very beginning, you conspired with Jiang Yutong to set a trap for Wan'er to fall into."
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
This Jiang Shuqin was quite clever at this moment.
"Mom, don't misunderstand Xiao Xuan."
Lin Qingwan, with several scratch marks on her face, ran to Jiang Shuqin's side.
She grabbed Jiang Shuqin's hand.
"Mom, this has nothing to do with Xiao Xuan."
"Nothing to do with Lin Xuan!" Jiang Shuqin said furiously. "Then why did he bring Jiang Yutong here? And why did the celebration banquet have an accident?"
"Maybe it was all just a coincidence."
Lin Qingwan said softly.
She still refused to believe that Xiao Xuan would take action against her.
She was his big sister, after all.
"Coincidence?" Jiang Shuqin sneered. "Where in the world would there be such a coincidence?"
"I think everything that happened today was arranged by Lin Xuan!"
She was truly furious.
She had originally planned to rely on Wan'er's company to secure her footing in high society.
Now everything was ruined.
Those high-society ladies would still look down on her in the future.
"Mom, Xiao Xuan really just came today purely to celebrate my success."
Lin Qingwan looked at Lin Xuan, her eyes red, and said, "Xiao Xuan, quickly explain to Mom."
"Everything that happened today has nothing to do with you, right?"
Lin Qingwan looked at Lin Xuan pleadingly.
She also had a faint suspicion in her heart that today's events were arranged by Xiao Xuan.
She desperately needed Lin Xuan's denial.
Jiang Shuqin said coldly, "Would someone who did something bad admit what they did?"
As soon as her words fell, Lin Xuan's voice rang out. "That's right, I arranged it."
Lin Xuan said, "I had someone hint to Mrs. Chen that her face problem was due to skincare products, so she came looking."
"The hot searches and such were also arranged by people I sent."
Lin Qingwan was thunderstruck, frozen in place.
Lin Qingxiu and Lin Qingyan both wore expressions of disbelief.
Jiang Shuqin's face also showed shock.
However, she was surprised that Lin Xuan actually admitted it directly. She had thought he would deny it.
After recovering, Jiang Shuqin sneered. "I said it was Lin Xuan's doing, but you didn't believe me. Lin Xuan already hates us to the bone. He wouldn't specially come to a celebration banquet to congratulate us. So him coming was definitely to cause trouble!"

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
