In the entertainment section, explanation videos about the truth were everywhere. It was clear to anyone with eyes that someone was deliberately sabotaging Qianxun.
Because of this, Qianxun’s fans, including some bystanders, began to feel indignant on Qianxun’s behalf at this time.
However, what caught the attention of some people was a piece of news from the finance section.
"Heir of Daybreak Consortium struts arrogantly, throwing away hundreds of millions in gambling capital at Oucheng Casino!"
"Explosive! Lai Weiran, the heir to Daybreak Consortium, has gambled away himself! And the victor is the up-and-coming pop diva, Su Qianxun!"
Once this news broke, even those not usually interested in the finance section couldn’t help but be drawn in.
Gambling oneself away, now that was playing with high stakes!
And those clever fans, upon seeing such news, immediately felt as though they had stumbled upon the truth.
"I think I understand who’s been smearing our boss!"
"Agree with the guy above! How shameless can some people be? As the saying goes, a bet is a bet. Some people, relying on their wealth and power, not only refuse to accept their loss but also insist on slinging mud at our boss! Unfortunately for them, justice is clear, and the evidence wasn’t destroyed!"
"The way the Lai Family is acting is just disgusting! As a fan of Qianxun, I’ve decided to boycott all products from Daybreak Consortium from now on! Such a company will surely fall one day!"
"People have faces, trees have bark; without either, they’d be unstoppable in the world. My views have been completely upended by the Lai Family!"
For a time, Daybreak Consortium became the target of mockery, relentlessly spat upon by Qianxun’s fans.
When Lai Hao saw the news, he was furious and slammed the table. "Damn it, who allowed them to break such news about the Lai Family?"
Hearing this, Lai Hao’s secretary quickly responded, "Chairman Lai, it was leaked by a media company from our competitors!"
Lai Hao responded with a sneer, "They are asking for it! Make them retract these immediately! Otherwise, they can’t blame me for not being polite!"
"Yes!" The secretary quickly exited to carry out the orders.
After the secretary had left, Lai Hao cursed resentfully, "Well done, Su Qianxun. No matter how strong your backing is, you won’t get away with this!"
He truly hadn’t anticipated that Su Qianxun would dare make such an issue public!
But what Lai Hao hadn’t expected happened soon after.
Before long, he received a call that the Procuratorate had arrived at the company, claiming Daybreak Consortium was reported for tax evasion and they were going to audit the books!
Lai Hao immediately flung his teacup to the ground, then said, "I understand, hand over the ledgers to them!"
After all, that ledger was flawless; nobody would find anything!
But strangely, why would the Procuratorate come over? Why hadn’t his contacts at the Procuratorate given him a heads-up?
Or was someone deliberately scheming against the Lai Family?
Who could that person be?
After all, Daybreak Consortium’s success up until today was not just due to business acumen but also due to powerful backing.
Realizing that the Lai Family’s troubles began after he had ordered someone to smear Qianxun, Lai Hao’s eyes narrowed in contemplation.
Could it be that Su Qianxun’s backing was even stronger than his?
No! That seemed unlikely!
If Daybreak Consortium were in ancient times, they would be imperial merchants. Who would dare to challenge them head-on?
Perhaps it was the work of a rival family.
With that thought, Lai Hao couldn’t help but quickly review his family’s rivals in his mind, guessing which one might be behind the Lai Family’s troubles.
But he was bound to be clueless.
Because Huo Tianzun hadn’t intervened at all in industries related to the Huo Family! Even now, the Huo Family was still unaware that the mysterious backer behind the Tianxun Group was none other than Huo Tianzun!
