644: Chapter 626 Yu Lingtian 644: Chapter 626 Yu Lingtian With Tangyu’s official statement and the strong coverage by CCAV, the incident was naturally characterized as a rumor and self-destructed.
The protest demonstrations around the country naturally disbanded completely, and within less than half an hour after the CCAV broadcast, the situation had calmed down nationwide.
And on the internet, naturally, another wave of heated discussion surged.
Online, those who spread rumors and spoke ill of Tangyu were met with a barrage of abuse, drowned by tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of righteous netizens, leaving nothing behind.
So now, the internet was filled with people cheering, no one daring to curse anymore.
At this time, coming out was simply asking for abuse.
The clip broadcasted by CCAV also became widely circulated, and Yu Lingfeng’s face was trampled on once again.
Ordinary people took this matter as nothing more than entertainment to chat about before and after meals, but the true upper class had their own understanding of it.
In Capital City’s high society, there were sighs of lament, with many individuals and powers reassessing Tangyu.
This gentle and elegant, seemingly harmless scholar was terrifyingly ruthless when provoked, far more ferocious than jackals, tigers, and leopards, killing silently.
Such punishment was indeed worse than death.
The Yu Family was shrouded in gloom, with Yu Lingfeng’s reputation completely lost, trampled by Tangyu, and their dignity had suffered a blow as well.
However, regarding this affair, the Yu Family could only swallow their teeth and accept it.
There was nowhere to reason out the matter.
The incident was caused by Yu Lingfeng, and he was the one who had to bear the consequences.
Of course, the person most affected was naturally Yu Lingfeng himself.
If possible, he would have immediately had the Xuanwu Group tear Tangyu to pieces.
The young masters of Capital City also discussed the incident teasingly, with Yu Lingfeng becoming the butt of their jokes, a status that would last for a long time.
In an elegant and private residence within Capital City’s central ring, two men in their thirties were playing Go in the living room.
Both had an imposing aura and a dignified bearing, exuding the demeanor of young monarchs, not inferior to the Five Young Masters of Donglin—in fact, they even surpassed them.
Sitting straight-backed, they were like two peerless swords capable of piercing the heavens.
If the young masters of Capital City were here, they would recognize these two as the Mo Family’s young heroes, Mo Qiankun and Mo Qianyan.
“Big brother, how do you see this year’s events?” Mo Qianyan asked, his hands moving deftly to place a Go stone without pause.
Mo Qiankun’s expression was as calm as an endless ocean, his face seemingly holding boundless depths.
“A strong personality, ruthless, I like it,” Mo Qiankun remarked indifferently.
Surprise appeared on Mo Qianyan’s face, it was rare to hear his brother praise someone like that.
Such simple words of praise from Mo Qiankun were indeed rare and precious.
But thinking it over, Mo Qianyan soon came to terms with it, as his own opinion of Tangyu was even higher.
Forcing Yu Lingfeng into such a position, Tangyu was indeed the first.
Even though his reputation and position were good at the moment, they meant nothing to Mo Qianyan.
“To think he could play Yu Lingfeng like a fiddle, and do it so ruthlessly, completely trampling on Yu Lingfeng’s dignity and severely smearing the Yu Family’s as well.
This Tangyu is indeed a tough character.
If we could use him to our advantage, it would be a good choice.
It’s just a pity; this person is definitely a hard bone to chew, someone we can’t get our hands on.
No matter how talented, if unattainable, they’re useless,” Mo Qianyan said with a shake of his head.
“It’s not a matter of pity.
No matter how good the talent, it’s nothing to us; we lack for nothing.
No matter how famous or influential he is, to us, he’s nothing.
If we want him dead, he’ll die.
If we want him to live, he can live,” Mo Qiankun said casually, as if he were talking about an everyday occurrence.
This boldness was something even Yu Lingfeng lacked.
Mo Qianyan nodded, “You’re right, brother.
From our perspective, indeed, it’s nothing.
But I’m a bit worried.
Yu Lingfeng can’t swallow this blow.
He’ll definitely seek revenge on Tangyu, and with Tangyu bearing the ‘Founder’s Medal,’ if things really escalate, Yu Lingfeng might get involved in trouble, affecting our plans.”
Mo Qiankun placed a Go stone, his mouth curving into a light smile, “You lost.”
Mo Qianyan looked and then shook his head with a laugh, “Big brother, your Go skills are indeed profound, even more formidable than national champions.
I always lose to you, it’s really discouraging.
Your strategy this game was particularly ingenious, with everything linked together seamlessly; I admire it.”
Mo Qiankun responded, “If Yu Lingfeng is so incompetent that he can’t even deal with a nobody, then he has no right to be the vice-leader of the Xuanwu Group.
If he’s really that useless, then he’s no use to us; we might as well replace him sooner.
We’ve been planning this operation for years, all preparations are in place, now we’re just waiting for the right moment to close the net and complete our great endeavor.
Don’t rush; that day, I believe, will come soon.
A mere Yu Lingfeng cannot influence the grand scheme.
He’s just a piece on the chessboard, at most an important piece.
My strategies always account for everything.
Even without this important piece, the final victory will still be mine,” Mo Qiankun said.
