Chapter 666: Chapter 666 The Final Winner
The incident at Nuomi Group Plaza was simultaneously posted online.
Suddenly, public sentiment underwent a huge shift.
In the morning, the opinion was very much in favor of Jiang Xu.
But now, many uninformed (braindead) netizens started attacking Nuomi Group and Jiang Xu.
“I knew it! Jiang Xu looks all righteous, but he’s actually not a good guy!”
“All that person did was confess in public, they didn’t do anything extreme, and you want to ruin them.”
“I get it now, Chu Youwei must have been with Jiang Xu for a long time, that’s why he’s so angry.”
“Makes sense, I think so too.”
“This time I choose to stand with the Xiao Family!”
…
Inside their own villa, An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei were also following the online public opinion.
Seeing such a sudden shift in sentiment, Chu Youwei became anxious.
“No, I have to go online and explain, I can’t let Jiang Xu be wronged for no reason.”
“Hold on, sister,” An Nuonuo shook her head, stopping her, “Brother Xu must have his own plan.
Didn’t you see that he has been calm from the beginning to the end?”
Chu Youwei glanced at the photos online.
Indeed.
Even being framed by the Xiao Family and maliciously heckled by so many reporters, he remained as stable as Mount Tai.
At that moment, Chu Youwei suddenly remembered what Jiang Xu said the night before, that he had installed surveillance cameras in his room in advance.
The related footage had not yet been leaked.
She instantly felt relieved.
As long as those videos were released, all sorts of rumors would collapse on their own.
At the scene.
Jiang Xu looked at the Xiao Family making a scene, his tone still calm, “I’m giving you one last chance.
Leave now, and I’ll let this go, or don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
He would release those videos sooner or later.
But with the Xiao Family there putting on a show, Jiang Xu could act as if he was forced to release them.
It would also allow him to brand himself as kind-hearted.
Of course, the Xiao Family was not willing to let things drop.
Xiao Jibo was already dead, and that couldn’t be changed.
If that was the case, then they had to use Xiao Jibo’s death to extract as much benefit for the family as possible.
Otherwise, didn’t Xiao Jibo die in vain?
Seeing they wouldn’t heed advice, Jiang Xu didn’t say anything more and returned to his office with the escort of his bodyguards.
As for the reporters who came to the scene, they had obviously taken money from the Xiao Family.
Now seeing Jiang Xu ‘retreat’, they naturally start spouting nonsense and furiously write articles to smear him.
‘[Jiang Xu avoids answering questions, that indicates guilt!]’
[I really didn’t expect Jiang Xu to be this kind of person!]’
[A beast in human’s clothing, truly despicable!]’
…
In the office, Jiang Xu calmly watched all the posts and videos attacking him online, not ordering them to be taken down.
He just instructed his company staff to record those jumping the highest, spreading the nastiest rumors, and those videos and posts that were gaining the most heat.
They would come in handy for lawsuits later.
The reason Jiang Xu didn’t immediately release the surveillance footage was because he wanted to see if any potential enemies would jump out at this moment.
However, by the afternoon, no other enemies had surfaced.
Probably the past victories of Jiang Xu made many enemies wary and afraid to jump out recklessly.
They were fearful that Jiang Xu might have some traps set up.
Seeing that he couldn’t bait any fish, Jiang Xu could only upload the surveillance footage himself.
Most onlookers are just going with the flow.
One second they were attacking and slandering Jiang Xu.
A second later, when Jiang Xu published the surveillance video, proving his innocence,
Those voices that once berated him suddenly dissipated entirely.
In their place came all sorts of praise.
[I knew the man I’m a fan of wouldn’t be a beast in human clothing!]
[No matter what others say, I’ve always supported Mr. Jiang!]
[We must make the rumor-monger suffer!]
[So it seems, the Xiao Family is no good after all!]
…
Looking at these comments online, Jiang Xu sneered.
Then he had the company’s legal department sue those who had been the most gleeful before.
Meanwhile, several listed companies of the Xiao Family were facing a devastating blow.
Masses of retail investors and shareholders began to dump their shares.
The stock prices hit the limit down within minutes.
At this moment, the Xiao Family members were no longer as arrogant as they had been in the morning, each of them panicked.
“Damn it, it’s a trap!”
“Jiang Xu is too malicious; he deliberately set a trap for Xiao Jibo to fall into!”
“Our previous partners are now quick to distance themselves from us!”
“The bank called, saying they want the loan repaid ahead of time!”
“It’s all over, what should we do now!”
…
Inside the Xiao Family, it was total chaos.
Xiao’s father took a deep breath, picked up his phone, returned to the study, closed the door, and dialed a number not recorded.
The phone took over a minute to connect.
But even before Xiao’s father could speak, the voice on the other end started first, “Waste, you can’t even handle this small matter.
Before the whole plan is in place, don’t alarm Jiang Xu, or you might ruin everything.
You find a way to quell Jiang Xu’s anger and cover this up.
Remember, if you fail, there will be no need for the Xiao Family to exist anymore.”
After saying that, the call was disconnected.
Xiao’s father felt as if he’d fallen into an ice cellar, collapsing onto the ground.
He was abandoned.
He had been excited to be part of such an epic project,
Even a small share of the success would have made the Xiao Family unimaginably inflated.
But now, everything was gone.
Xiao’s father couldn’t help but let out bursts of bitter laughter.
“It’s gone, all gone.”
He hadn’t thought about defying the words on the phone.
Because the power behind them was terrifying.
If he did not follow through, he was sure the entire family’s corpses would be neatly lined up in their home by tomorrow, waiting to be discovered by the officials.
At two-thirty in the afternoon, Ally knocked on the door of Jiang Xu’s office.
She sashayed in, placing a large stack of documents in front of Jiang Xu.
Full of admiration, she said, “Boss, these are all the assets of the Xiao Family that have just been delivered.
They said, if you sign, they’re all yours.”
Jiang Xu glanced at them, didn’t immediately look at them, but asked, “Has everything been confirmed?”
“Yes,” Ally nodded. “All the assets delivered are high quality and free of any financial disputes.”
Jiang Xu: “Did the Xiao Family say anything else?”
Ally shook her head: “No, only that these are for you, as a form of apology.”
Only then did Jiang Xu put down what he was doing and review the documents one by one.
After going through them, a smile finally appeared on his face.
