I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 397: Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole

Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole

"Police? How are the police here?" The middle-aged man’s face visibly changed. His location was so hidden, how could anyone have found it.

They confiscated all of the middle-aged man’s possessions, including his phone, and after checking, an officer made a call back, saying, "Officer Zhang, we have completely controlled the target individual."

"And according to the target’s phone, he previously contacted someone from Lailuo Clothing."

"Lailuo Clothing?"

The phone was on speaker, so Qin Yun heard it too, and his face immediately turned grim.

The mastermind had appeared!

Qin Yun had some impression of this Lailuo Clothing.

Previously, when Celestial Fortune was looking for a spokesperson and was about to sign with actress Zhang Qi, Lailuo Clothing intervened at the last moment.

Ultimately, Zhang Qi went to sign with Lailuo Clothing.

Lailuo Clothing explained that they recently saw Zhang Qi’s TV show become popular and thought she would be suitable as a spokesperson for them. They claimed they didn’t know about Zhang Qi’s pending contract with Celestial Fortune.

It was just a spokesperson, so Qin Yun didn’t take it too seriously and didn’t bother causing trouble for Lailuo Clothing.

But now, Lailuo Clothing was actually plotting against him behind the scenes!

This method was even more disgusting than Cold Dew, Yangyu Clothing, and others; it truly ignited Qin Yun’s fury!

Later, when the middle-aged man was controlled, it turned out his real name wasn’t Li Haiyang—it was someone else. No one knew where this middle-aged man got Li Haiyang’s phone number to register a WeChat account; the two didn’t even know each other.

However, this method was quite normal. This way, even if they traced it to Li Haiyang, the lead would directly break off, making it impossible to trace back to Lailuo Clothing!

Hidden in the shadows, like a venomous snake, ready to strike with a lethal blow at any moment.

...

The middle-aged man was taken to the police station, and under interrogation, he finally confessed to everything.

The act of framing was confirmed. He was caught red-handed, and there were phone records with the videographer Wang Yu, leaving no room for argument.

According to the plan, the middle-aged man Zhang Yang would collect the video and not directly forward it to Lailuo Clothing. He would post it online himself; it wasn’t supposed to be sent by Lailuo Clothing, nor did the video need to be sent to them.

This way, even if traced back to him as the video sender, it had nothing to do with them.

Lailuo Clothing was very cautious, leaving almost no evidence, completely washing their hands of the matter.

"Qin Yun, can I have a word with you alone?"

The middle-aged man Zhang Yang was clearly frightened, suddenly addressing Qin Yun.

This was a malicious slander against Celestial Fortune. If Celestial Fortune pursued the matter, his culpability was significant, but if they didn’t, his culpability would be much less. It all depended on Qin Yun’s attitude.

Qin Yun exchanged a glance with Zhang Yao.

"Qin Yun, take your time talking," Zhang Yao finally said, stepping out.

Only Qin Yun and Zhang Yang remained in the room.

"What do you want to say to me?" Qin Yun’s face remained calm, and he finally spoke after a while.

Zhang Yang showed a hint of hesitation on his face, "Qin Yun, I want to tell you something. If it’s important to you, could you not hold me responsible?"

"Information?" Qin Yun mused for a moment.

His face showed no emotional fluctuation as he said, "Go ahead and tell me, and I’ll see if this information is useful to me."

Seeing Qin Yun say this, Zhang Yang was clearly dissatisfied but eventually said, "This time, against Celestial Fortune, it’s not just Lailuo Clothing; there are other forces involved."

"Others?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun’s heart sank slightly, "Which others?"

"I don’t know."

Zhang Yang shook his head, "This is a joint operation targeting Celestial Fortune..."

He revealed what he knew, though it was limited.

Qin Yun frowned slightly; previously, Celestial Fortune had encountered various issues. Wasn’t it just Lailuo Clothing; were there other forces involved?

Cold Dew Clothing? Yangyu Clothing?

He thought of the two competitors he’d faced previously. Those two were in dire straits in their competition with him. If there were other alliances, it was quite possible.

Besides, there might be others.

Lailuo Clothing is a billion-dollar company; any partners would be of substantial size too, at least with billions in assets. Otherwise, they wouldn’t qualify to unite together.

If so, missing any one of them would pose a hidden threat to Celestial Fortune!

Recalling this news, Qin Yun’s heart grew heavier, and suddenly an idea formed in his mind, a bold one.

While thinking about it, Qin Yun walked out of the room.

"Junior Qin Yun."

Zhang Yao looked over as Qin Yun emerged, inquiring about the situation.

Qin Yun briefly explained what happened.

"There’s someone behind this?"

Zhang Yao mused, "Junior Qin Yun, this is very complex. Even if we investigate, the ultimate result might be that Lailuo Clothing or others randomly bring someone forward."

Lailuo Clothing is a multi-billion-dollar enterprise; how could it be so easy to investigate?

This malicious slander, there are witnesses, but as for material evidence, it’s quite challenging. Even if obtained, the evidence might be insufficient.

Commercial competition is inherently like this, with countless hidden tactics behind the scenes, yet it’s virtually impossible to prohibit, difficult even for the law to handle.

Nodding slightly, Qin Yun paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Senior, I have an idea, which is to release the video."

"Oh? Release it?"

Zhang Yao was taken aback, looking at Qin Yun with curiosity.

This video clearly had a significant negative impact on Celestial Fortune; Qin Yun should try to avoid it.

"Senior, right now we know the enemy behind this is only Lailuo Clothing. But if it’s released, Lailuo Clothing will certainly make moves, and likely other forces will act too," Qin Yun explained.

"Lure the snake out of the hole?"

Zhang Yao considered for a moment.

"Exactly."

Qin Yun nodded, "Only by putting Celestial Fortune in crisis will these forces voluntarily come out into the open instead of hiding in the shadows."

Qin Yun didn’t know who these enemies were.

Even if the video wasn’t released this time, what about next time?

There might be more insidious tricks waiting for Qin Yun. This time he learned ahead, and he had countermeasures, but what if he didn’t know next time?

If Celestial Fortune suddenly faced a crisis, resolving it could be many times more challenging than this time!

So, why not use this opportunity to lure those enemies out?

This was the idea that suddenly occurred to Qin Yun, and even if he couldn’t lure them all out, he could at least expose some.

Once the snake is out, it’s much easier to strike!

"Moreover, besides Wang Yu, perhaps others have recorded the video. If they post it, wouldn’t it be better if we did it proactively?"

Hearing Qin Yun’s plan, Zhang Yao pondered for a bit, then said, "Alright, since we’re considering posting it, I’ll have Zhang Yang contact the other side, and we can gather more evidence to prepare for Celestial Fortune’s clarification later."
