Chapter 207: Tie Her Up

The assistant looked hesitant and said, “We have already contacted most of the media, but there are a few established local media outlets that refuse to delete the content. They claim that news should maintain objectivity, and if the information they published is not false, we can provide evidence to refute it. They promise to give us coverage on the front page if that’s the case.”

Hearing this, Wei Feng slammed the water cup he was holding onto the ground, shattering it. “They dare talk to me about objectivity? Why don’t they mention the employment opportunities and tax revenue 1 create for this city every year? They drag their feet when it comes to doing such a small favor! They think 1 have no power? Then I’ll find someone powerful. Get me Mayor Lin’s phone number immediately!”

The assistant immediately complied and added, “Chairman, there’s another issue. The IP address of the video poster couldn’t be traced by our technical department. They used an encrypted network and seemed to be a skilled technician who concealed their information well.”

Wei Feng felt his heart racing again. The secretary quickly patted his chest to calm him down. After a moment, Wei Feng gritted his teeth and said, “What good are they? Deduct their bonuses for this month! Contact the Wen family and have my disrespectful daughter tied up with a rope and brought to me by my third son!”

As the assistant was leaving, Wei Feng’s phone rang. It was a call from Jiang Guo.

“Chairman Wei, this is Jiang Guo.”

Wei Feng responded in a low voice, “Hello, President Jiang.”

With the situation becoming urgent, Jiang Guo went straight to the point, “Chairman Wei, I assume you have seen the online news. Let’s skip the pleasantries. I have people working on deleting posts as well. 1 heard that the girl is acquainted with you. How do you plan to handle this?”

Naturally, Wei Feng intended to have a private discussion first. Upon hearing this, Jiang Guo continued, “You can have your discussion first. As long as she doesn’t pursue the matter further and agrees to delete the source files and cease uploading, I’m willing to offer a compensation of 2 million yuan.”

2 million yuan was a significant amount that many people couldn’t earn in a lifetime. Both Jiang Guo and Wei Feng found the sum to be reasonable.

After sending the message, Wen Nian went to Shen Jun’s house for tutoring as planned.

Over the phone, Wen Xing declined the offer of a ride from the Wei family. He waited until the busiest time of the day had passed before calling Wen Nian around noon. They arrived at Wei Corporation at 2 PM.

However, Wei Lai was still sound asleep at home at 10:30 AM, and she woke up abruptly when Wei Jiang barged into her room.

Wei Jiang slammed his phone directly onto Wei Lai’s bewildered face and angrily berated her, “You’re really something! You’re famous all over the internet now!”

Wei Lai sat up and picked up her phone to check. Her eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter. “Wasn’t the source file already deleted? How could this happen?!”

Wei Jiang, already in a foul mood after being scolded by Wei Feng earlier in Gentleness Town, naturally had no good expression for Wei Lai. He shouted at her, “Why are you asking me?! Who should 1 ask?! You didn’t tell me when you did all these things, and you don’t need to tell me now. Your grandfather has spoken, and he wants me to tie you up and take you to the company. Get up and change your clothes!”

Li Bing rushed over and heard Wei Jiang’s reprimand. She walked up and hugged the aggrieved Wei Lai, her face full of grievances. “Why are you shouting? You never take care of the child, but when something happens, all you do is complain!”

Wei Jiang snorted coldly and retorted, unkindly, “I’m not complaining. Later, you’re coming with us too. Let’s go see the trouble your daughter has caused in front of your father!”

It was only in the car that Li Bing heard the whole story from Wei Lai’s mouth.

Before getting off the car, Wei Jiang had someone tie up Wei Lai. Wei Lai tried to seek help from Li Bing, but Li Bing looked at Wei Lai’s tear-streaked face, pondered for a moment, and made a firm decision, “Listen to your father. We can’t go into the office building through the parking lot. Driver Wang, drive the car to the company gate. We’ll get off from the front!”

Wei Jiang looked at Li Bing in shock. “Are you crazy?! You still think we’re not embarrassing enough?!”

Hiding her disdain in her eyes, Li Bing looked at Wei Jiang and spoke, “Do you think your father had Wei Lai tied up for us to see? It’s for the people outside to see. So, not only do we have to enter through the main gate, but we also have to do it with a high profile.”

Wei Jiang knew that Li Bing was more cunning than himself and had a better understanding of his father’s thoughts. He decided to follow Li Bing’s advice.

Wei Lai cried even harder and exclaimed, “Mom and Dad, how could you do this? You’re making me lose face for your own benefit. There were so many reporters at the front gate just now. If 1 appear in such a state, how can I continue to thrive in this social circle? I’ll become a laughingstock.. Who would want to associate with me? I won’t go through the main gate!”
