The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 625 - 587: Very Loving

The reunion banquet that everyone had been anticipating for months finally arrived, with a bunch of media invited. There was even a live broadcast from in front of Huashang Hotel that night.

But everyone waited all night, keeping an eye on the news online.

Yet, the night passed, and the internet remained silent.

Not a single piece of news about the reunion banquet was available.

Only a few informed individuals spoke a few words online.

After all, there were guests staying at the hotel and people around the hotel; the commotion last night was quite large, and although the area was deliberately cleared, some people must still have known.

However, what was posted online was quickly deleted.

Seeing the situation, informed individuals also dared not speak up.

Thus, everyone was puzzled for a day; some even went to check the entrance of Huashang Hotel. But Huashang Hotel was found to be sealed off.

The hotel was sealed, and there was no news at all.

Speculations were rampant online.

It wasn’t until the morning of the third day that the official announcement was made as the online discussions about the incident had dwindled.

Netizens were suddenly in an uproar.

Because the incident was so significant, involving multiple continents, with countless victims.

Even though most of the evidence had been collected over the past period, there was still a lot to deal with in the aftermath, requiring a long time to manage.

Because of netizens’ speculations.

And because Huashang Hotel was sealed off, Qian’an Group was soon to be investigated.

Gu Linhai and Gu Yao were arrested.

It’s not advisable to delay too long; a timely explanation is needed.

So the police stabilized the situation from all sides and immediately issued a notice.

The notice included the arrest of Gu Linhai and Gu Yao.

The relationship between Gu Linhai and Gu Yao.

The relationship between Gu Yao and Yan Zhiyao.

The drug trafficking and abduction under the guise of interviews by Imperial Power Club.

And the crimes committed by Gu Yao on various continents.

Also, how Gu Linhai shielded Gu Yao, how the two traded secretly, and how Qian’an Group profited and covered things up, etc.

Lastly, it mentioned the cooperation and active reporting by Gu Yanjing, Gu Family, Chu Family, Lin Family, and Yunzhong Building.

Informing everyone of the progress in the case.

Subsequent handling will be open and transparent, providing an explanation to everyone and society.

Meanwhile, the media, which had been quiet for three days, quickly sprang into action.

The edited footage of the reunion banquet hall that could be released was published by all media outlets.

Once the announcement was made, and the media took action.

An enormous scandal added tension to the hectic workday.

Netizens immediately flocked to Weibo.

The voices of shock were everywhere.

The incident was too heinous.

After the shock came the condemnation.

Soon, Qian’an Group was smashed.

The entrance of Gu Group Headquarters in the Capital City was also surrounded by media.

If not for the fact everyone knew it was Gu Yanjing who cooperated with the police, acting against his family for justice, handling this matter.

The entrance of Gu Group might have also been in trouble.

[My god, I’m shocked for a lifetime. Such a massive incident. I’ve got goosebumps, can’t even imagine it.]

[Wow, involving so many places. Just D Continent, how many places are there? This is terrifying. How many people were gone?]

[No wonder the Gu Family didn’t acknowledge the reunion banquet. Such a person entering the family register, the Gu family’s ancestors wouldn’t rest in peace.]

[Gu Yanjing must have disappeared for so long just to handle this matter.]

[Just execute them by firing squad, why keep them? What is there to try, just shoot them.]

[Such a big case, here in Jin City, only these two were reported temporarily. Tons of people need to be tried and judged, it can’t be counted, how many people are there?]

[Just thinking about it is an enormous workload.]

[The police have worked hard. It’s tough. I said I heard gunfire at Huashang Hotel that night. I was even warned not to speak carelessly.]

[I stayed at the hotel that night. It was intense. And I can definitely confirm, Mr. Gu did assist the police. I saw him in the hotel, it was quite late, and he was still helping.]

[Did Mr. Gu directly follow the police operation???!!!!!!!]

[Should be. I saw blood on his clothes. I can’t say much more, only that it wasn’t just him.]

[!!!!!!!!!!!! I rely on this! This news also shocked me tremendously.]

[Gu Linhai and Gu Yao should be torn to pieces, execution is too lenient for them.]

[Actually, I know one more thing. All the people who attended the reunion banquet that night were taken away by the police. But later, they all safely came out of the police station.]

[The police in the Capital City also released an announcement! Weren’t the girl missing from Jing University at the beginning of the year? Her body was found, and it was also done by Gu Yao’s group.]

[The university hasn’t even graduated. The child just went to school and hasn’t returned home. How will the parents live?]

[Speaking of Jing University, I suddenly remembered. The name "Gu Yao" appeared a long time ago, right? That Chen Xi... it was a big issue online for a while, later it was said she had a mental breakdown.]

[Oh, I remember! There was indeed such a thing. So Gu Yao was here! What about Chen Xi?]

[I don’t know, she didn’t attend school later.]

[Could she have been harmed too? Wasn’t it said her sister was harmed at that time? This damned murderer.]

[Such people treat people like they’re nothing. How could there be such people? Also, when did Gu Linhai have such a son?]

[I just saw online someone revealed that Gu Linhai had this child because of an affair. But at that time, he needed the support of Meng Qian’s family, so he didn’t dare to bring the child back. Only in recent years, when Gu Linhai found a new backer and disregarded his father-in-law’s family, did he dare to organize this reunion banquet.]

[Meng Qian and Gu Yicheng didn’t appear at the reunion banquet at all.]

[Who would be willing? Recognizing an illegitimate child to compete for inheritance with your own child, not giving them a hard time was already decent, let alone attending the reunion banquet which would give them face.]

[Such heartless people should be executed in public, drawn and quartered.]

...

By noon, Gu Linhai and Gu Yao had been murdered countless times online.

Another day passed, and a media outlet released a video.

One was the video of the reunion banquet, and the other was an interview with Gu Yanjing.

The issue in Jin City needs to be explained to everyone.

With the Yunzhong Building and Gu Group in Capital City having been in turmoil for so long, and Gu Yanjing having been missing in the public eye for so long, this matter needed an explanation to everyone too.

Gu Yanjing specifically arranged for the media to stagger the timing.

After all, the incident involving Gu Linhai and Gu Yao had a significant social impact.

In comparison, the Gu family’s matters had to be postponed.

The video from the reunion banquet was a clip where Wen Mingcheng introduced the president of Yunzhong Building to everyone.

The interview with Gu Yanjing took place after the police’s discussion with the media that night.

He briefly mentioned the matter of Gu Linhai, with just a few words completely separating Gu Linhai from the Gu Family.

Then he talked about the situation of Gu Group, responding to the various speculations online during this period.

Finally, he spoke about his personal matters.

"My wife Qiao Yuxian and I have a great relationship, and we are very loving. Please don’t set your sights on my wife, thank you."
