Chapter 1014: The Chill at the Top

Lu Jihan raised his hand to interrupt Shen Kang, and said forcefully:

"There’s no room for error, I believe we can definitely find a breakthrough in this matter. Shen Kang, I won’t sacrifice innocent employees to appease the anger of our partner agencies, audiences, and fans, but I also will not let any suspicious person go."

Shen Kang nodded, indicating that he understood the boss’s intention.

"Alright, I understand. I will make sure to give you a satisfactory response within 24 hours."

"Good, go ahead."

Lu Jihan watched Shen Kang leave the meeting room. He sat alone in the room, gently pressing his temples with both hands.

There’s no denying that this incident is indeed a very severe test for Mainland Group.

Since he took over Mainland Group, up to now, they have gone through countless tests, but this time is particularly severe.

As they say, it’s lonely at the top; the higher you go, the more dangerous it gets. So many competitors are eyeing Mainland Group, and a slight mistake could lead to a big fall.

From various signs, he can conclude that this matter is definitely someone’s deliberate intent, and they are secretly adding fuel to the fire, letting the incident continue to ferment...

But, the more difficult the situation, the less you can be discouraged. This is a time to calm down and think carefully about strategies.

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated at this time.

Lu Jihan took out his phone and saw it was Song Yinyin calling.

It was already close to 1 AM, yet she still hadn’t rested, clearly calling out of concern for him.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, took out the phone, and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Yinyin?"

His voice showed no sign of fatigue, still as forceful and decisive as usual.

But Song Yinyin knew, the more it seemed like this, the more it was not reassuring. Clearly, he was holding on just to avoid worrying her.

"How are things on your end?" she cautiously probed.

"Hmm." Lu Jihan responded, "Very well, you don’t need to worry, there are already some leads. Shen Kang is handling it, and I believe there will soon be an answer."

"Really?"

Lu Jihan smiled and said, "Of course, when have I lied to you? Moreover, I have promised Ning Wan’s agent that I will give her a satisfactory response within 24 hours."

Song Yinyin was also taken aback upon hearing this.

"Can you really identify the direct responsible person of the incident so quickly? Isn’t the time too tight?"

"24 hours, there’s sufficient time. Also, these types of things need to be swift and decisive, the longer it drags on, the more detrimental it is for Mainland Group."

That’s right.

Song Yinyin inwardly agreed.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Jihan’s magnetic, endearing voice came through again: "Don’t worry, since I dare to make such a promise, I have the confidence to handle this matter well."

Despite his reassurance, for some reason, Song Yinyin still felt uneasy, constantly worrying that something might go wrong, worrying he was stretching himself too thin.

With a light sigh, she asked, "Are you going to work overtime at the company tonight? Then take care. If you get tired, rest a bit. I’ll have someone bring breakfast to you tomorrow morning."

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."

After a pause, Lu Jihan asked, "How’s the situation at the hospital?"

Song Yinyin was still at the hospital at this time. She stood in the corridor, turned back to look at Ning Wan in the ward, and said, "Ning Wan hasn’t woken up yet. The doctor said if all goes well, she should wake up by tomorrow morning."
