Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 512 - 511: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Chapter 512: Chapter 511: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

"Hello, do you have any news?"

"Yes, I’ve found some leads on what you asked me to investigate."

"Tell me, I’m listening. Who’s behind this?"

"It’s someone significant. I’ll send all the information I found to your email. There’s quite a bit, so take a look yourself."

"Alright, I’ll transfer the remaining balance to you in a bit."

"Sure, I enjoy working with straightforward clients like you. Hit me up again if you need my services next time."

The owner of this "Mistress Convincing Consulting Company," Adou, definitely has some skills when it comes to computers.

Adou claims that all his company’s operations are perfectly legal, and he’s a law-abiding citizen, but Lin Wanwan thinks he surely doesn’t consider hacking into others’ computers as such.

Last time when trying to trace a house burglary, Adou wasn’t successful, but this time, tracking the source of online blackmail fell right within his range.

That’s why it only took him two days to report back to Lin Wanwan, and he charged just 98,000 for this service.

Lin Wanwan, through Tan Qinghui, tried to buy information from a PR firm for 500,000 but still couldn’t persuade them.

So, this goes to show that finding the right person for information is crucial.

After hanging up the phone with Adou, Lin Wanwan opened her laptop, accessed her email, and clicked on the unread email that had just come in.

After a long while, Lin Wanwan closed the email with a grim expression.

"It’s actually her."

Annie Wang, the second daughter of the chairman of Feiniao Shoe Industry Group!

She’s the one! They had added each other on WeChat, and could still exchange pleasantries face-to-face. When Lin Wanwan’s Yongtang Store opened, she even came to show support.

Although she knew that Annie was probably interested in Lu Shouyue, and Lu Shouyue’s aunt had also tried to set them up during Lu’s mother’s birthday party, Lin Wanwan never thought this woman would stoop to such low means.

A flash of realization crossed Lin Wanwan’s mind.

Everything became as clear as the moonlight she could see outside the window.

The other party had a motive to slander her and spread rumors about her, the most direct reason being—a rival.

Even if she never intended to compete for Lu Shouyue, her mere existence made the Feiniao heiress uncomfortable.

Such a person is truly frightening. If she wants to marry into the Lu Family, she should directly pursue Lu Shouyue himself, instead of resorting to underhanded tactics targeting unrelated people.

Lin Wanwan sighed. Annie Wang must have weighed the pros and cons before making her move at this time.

Taking this opportunity to completely tarnish Lin Wanwan, cutting off her path to marry Lu Shouyue.

Lin Wanwan didn’t know if anyone else would find out about Lu Shouyue’s confession that night, but she hadn’t uttered a word of it to anyone. Not even to her best friend Gu Jingyu had she said anything.

To Lin Wanwan, others’ affections were never something to flaunt.

Moreover, Lu Shouyue... was still different from others.

Although she couldn’t reciprocate his love, Lin Wanwan was grateful for his kindness towards her.

If she hadn’t spoken, would Lu Shouyue say anything?

Lin Wanwan tended to think he wouldn’t mention it either, especially since he appeared so embarrassed that night. Someone as proud as him, he’d never want others to know about his failures.

So Annie Wang’s timing suggests she might have inferred from clues that her relationship with Lu Shouyue had some cracks.

If someone is falsely accusing you of being kept by a big shot, it’s best to really have a big shot by your side.

That way, you can use the big shot’s influence to resolve the troubles that come your way.

Unfortunately, Lin Wanwan didn’t. She had just severely hurt the big shot.

If he’s not adding insult to injury, it’s already decent of him. Could she still expect him to be so lovesick that he’d help her with no return after being rejected?

Lin Wanwan rubbed her face, opened a web page, and looked up information on Annie Wang and Feiniao Shoes.

Know the enemy and yourself, and you will be undefeated in every battle.

According to the encyclopedia, Feiniao Shoes was founded in 1987 and went public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in June 2008. Its founder, Chairman Wang Bo, currently has a net worth of 11 billion.

Starting from a sports shoe brand, it has now expanded into a popular professional sports goods company, ranking high among its domestic peers.

Chairman Wang Bo has two daughters and a son. The eldest daughter is married, the second daughter, Annie Wang, is from his second wife, and the youngest son is still in school.

Earlier this year, the Feiniao Shoe Industry Group made headlines due to the arranged marriage between the family’s "first daughter" and the "son" of Badao Sanitary Ware.

Marketing accounts also rode the wave of traffic from this wealthy family marriage.

Lin Wanwan glanced through outdated gossip articles filled with catchy phrases like "rich families don’t believe in fairy tales," "matching social status is the clearest reality for wealthy families," and "class solidification" designed to grab eyeballs.

Although the Feiniao Group and the Times Group aren’t even in the same league, and they’re also not in the same league as the internationally established Lu Group, to Lin Wanwan, it’s already a behemoth.

Even if she could legally liquidate all her antiques now, it would merely be a small fraction, let alone the fact that she can’t cash it out easily.

Looking at the infographic online of marriages among wealthy families in the Feiniao Group, all the names are nationally renowned enterprises.

And what does Lin Wanwan have right now? A just-starting Yongtang and an insignificant share in a chicken farm.

Her supply structure meant she couldn’t grow too big and must remain low-key.

After finishing the research, Lin Wanwan only felt more frustrated. The enemy was too strong.

"Annie Wang! Don’t think I’ll surrender!"

Lin Wanwan stared at Annie Wang’s WeChat Moments background picture, fiercely thinking that even if it meant suffering a thousand wounds, she must tear a piece out of Annie Wang.

Lin Wanwan couldn’t clear her own tarnish, separating the ink from the clear water was hard, but pouring ink into another basin of clear water was easy.

Come on, let’s hurt each other!

Is it just rumors? As a woman too, am I afraid and you’re not?

Murong Fu’s special move is "using others’ ways to counter them," and that’s exactly what Lin Wanwan wanted to do now!

Although she couldn’t afford a full-scale public opinion battle, spending a few million to smear someone was still doable.

Even if the other party had better PR tactics, Lin Wanwan would still make sure she got dirty. So-called "when mud falls into your pants, whether it’s poop or not, it becomes poop."

She just couldn’t believe that a sultry woman like Annie Wang wouldn’t have any dirt!

With this thought, Lin Wanwan immediately dialed Adou from "Mistress Convincing Consulting" again. He should be experienced in matters like this.

First, there was the sound of game fighting from the phone, followed by Adou’s hasty words.

"Another business? The fight’s intense, I’ll call you back after I finish this match, bye-bye!"

Lin Wanwan hadn’t had a chance to speak before the other side hung up.

Lin Wanwan chuckled, how can someone live so freely!

Sigh!

Just two days ago, she was so carefree!

Lin Wanwan suddenly felt a twinge of envy; peaceful times were the greatest happiness.

If her reputation in modern society became irreparable from this incident, she’d just consider herself an invisible person in the modern world, only returning when necessary, and reside permanently in the Great Tang!
