Chapter 1275 - 631: Partial Truth? Crisis Management?_2

"Liu Guanghui, you bastard. My girlfriend was killed because of you!"

"Not only is she dead now, but she’s also been labeled as a cheater. It’s all your fault!"

Chen Jinyan’s face was flushed with anger.

Liu Guanghui was so scared that his legs went weak.

"No, Mr. Chen. This is not how you think it is. I initially just didn’t want Xiaocui to spread rumors that pre-prepared meals aren’t healthy and that our factory’s hygiene conditions are poor. That’s why I sent some people to talk to her. But I never expected things to turn out like this."

Unfortunately, despite Liu Guanghui’s genuine remorse and guilt written all over his face,

his words had no good effect whatsoever.

Instead, they proved that the pre-prepared meals factory indeed had issues.

Not to mention, he was suspected of negligent homicide and illegal detention.

So even if he wouldn’t get the death penalty, he’d at least face life imprisonment.

A moment later,

as Luo Fei and his team escorted Manager Liu into a police car,

Sister Bai was already waiting there.

"Officer, why are you arresting Manager Liu? Have you found evidence of his crime?"

"Does Miss Yang’s incident have something to do with them?"

While Sister Bai appeared eager for an answer,

Luo Fei replied,

"That’s not the case."

"We’re investigating another case. And according to the evidence provided by employees in the freezer, Miss Yang froze herself in there."

This news

made Sister Bai’s eyes widen instantly.

She couldn’t even believe her ears.

"Officer, what did you say?"

At that moment,

Sister Bai was truly shocked.

Her face displayed an unbelievable expression.

But Luo Fei remained noncommittal.

"Sister Bai, I have no reason to lie to you. This is the truth and the result of our police investigation."

"No, officer, this can’t be. Miss Yang is a famous actress. If she died in a freezer for such a foolish reason, her fans certainly wouldn’t accept it."

However, watching the shock and disbelief on the other side,

and feeling unable to accept the result or give an explanation to the fans and reporters,

Luo Fei seriously said,

"Sister Bai, I told you this news first because you are Miss Yang’s agent. So you can entirely let the public hear another version of the story."

"Mr. Luo, what do you mean by that?"

At this moment, Sister Bai was truly baffled.

She could even imagine what would happen after being publicly criticized online.

She feared she couldn’t continue her career as an agent.

But Luo Fei patiently explained,

"Sister Bai, since the pre-prepared meals factory has problems, you can fully announce publicly that Miss Yang was investigating the truth. Hence, she was accidentally locked in the pre-prepared meals warehouse. She heroically sacrificed herself for the truth."

"Regarding the remaining content and how to fabricate it, that’s entirely your expertise, right?"

Although Luo Fei said it lightly,

Sister Bai hesitated.

"Officer, is it really okay to do this?"

"Are you sure we won’t be condemned for it?"

Sister Bai smirked a bit, a hint of incredulity on her face.

Luo Fei remained noncommittal.

"Sister Bai, unless you can think of a better explanation than this version, can you?"

"Or are you planning to tell the public that Miss Yang died in the warehouse while collecting evidence to avoid paying a penalty fee? In that case, even if you don’t die, you can’t continue being an agent."

This statement made Sister Bai twitch her lips.

After taking a deep breath, she could only sigh and say,

"I understand, officer. I’ll do as you say."

Seeing that she seemed somewhat deflated,

but obviously acknowledged his words as correct and chose to succumb,

Luo Fei finally felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.

However,

seeing Sister Bai getting into the car looking a bit downcast,

Lan Mengzhou was a little worried.

"Mr. Luo, will this really work?"

"Even if it’s not true, fans will probably prefer this version. After all, if a star retires at the peak of their career, it’s actually better for the company."

"In this way, Miss Yang’s image in people’s minds becomes someone who fights for justice and stands strong till the end, rather than a super fool who died just to avoid a penalty."

This analysis left Lan Mengzhou without a definite answer.

"Mr. Luo’s reasoning does make sense."

As the two were talking,

Sister Yang stepped out of a taxi.

She hurried over.

"Mr. Luo, I heard Manager Liu was arrested. Does that mean my husband, like Xiaocui, also met with an accident?"

Seeing the unease in her eyes,

Luo Fei merely smiled.

"Sister Yang, your husband is quite smart. He left some clues about his whereabouts with the things he gave to others. But they were too inconspicuous, so most people didn’t notice."

"And I believe, after this news report and the factory being shut down, he will naturally return to your side."

Luo Fei’s words filled Sister Yang with tears of joy.

But she still struggled to believe, thinking,

this all seemed like fantasy.

"Officer, are you telling the truth?"

"Is my husband really okay? Oh my, thank heavens. Thank you, officer!"

Seeing her about to kneel,

Luo Fei quickly stopped her.

"Hey, sister, don’t do that. I’m just doing my job."

"No, officer, thank you so much. Without you, who knows what might’ve happened to my husband. So, truly, thank you."

At this moment,

sister was very emotional.

Luo Fei smiled back.

"Sister, your husband is a good man. Even till the end, he thought of protecting you while still standing by the truth. That spirit is something many people lack."

Luo Fei’s praise made sister very happy.

Simultaneously,

Luo Fei’s phone rang.

Looking at it,

it was a message from the local Food Safety Supervision Bureau.

"Mr. Luo, what did they say?"

Seeing Luo Fei’s serious expression,

Lan Mengzhou was puzzled.

Luo Fei smiled and explained,

"Nothing much, they just said they’ll thoroughly investigate this matter. Also, regarding that school’s cafeteria, the local Education Bureau will assist with the investigation."

This news made Lan Mengzhou a bit excited.

"Mr. Luo, although this isn’t a criminal case, we’ve accomplished something major."

"Mr. Luo, Mr. Luo, something’s wrong! There’s a situation at the pre-prepared food factory!"

At that moment, Old Han, who was working at the pre-prepared food production factory, suddenly came off the vehicle, breathless.

Seeing him drenched in sweat,

emitting a scent of food,

Luo Fei couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Old Han, what’s going on with you?"

"Mr. Luo, they found a body in the pre-prepared meal production workshop. It seems to be an adult male."

This news,

almost made Sister Yang faint.

"An adult man? Could it be my Old Jiang? What should I do now?"

At that moment, Sister Yang felt herself almost blacking out, her entire body about to collapse.

Luo Fei quickly asked Lan Mengzhou to support her,

while sternly saying, "Sister Yang, it’s not certain. Maybe the deceased is someone else. We’ll need our police investigation to find out."

Even though he said this,

Luo Fei felt a bit uneasy.

Because to date, he hadn’t personally seen Chen Jinyan.

In other words, that body might just be him.

As for those clothes,

they could be a smokescreen left intentionally by the perpetrator who killed him.

With this thought, Luo Fei held his breath,

and as he got into the car, a look of complexity appeared in his dark eyes.
