Chapter 232: Crisis

After ending the call with Xiao Min, Lu Yu opened a webpage, visited some portal sites and forums, and saw some bad comments.

"How can such an internet cafe stay open, and even open so many branches? Aren't the relevant authorities going to manage it?"

"I hate internet cafes the most nowadays. My child used to have excellent grades, but after starting to like going to internet cafes… he even learned to skip class! His grades plummeted, and no matter how I advise him, he just won't listen."

"My child even lied to me, saying he needed to pay some material fee, just to go to the internet cafe!"

"I've had enough; this world shouldn't have internet cafes at all!"

Many parents began to vent their anger.

In this era when internet cafes are rapidly developing, internet addiction is truly a great harm to teenagers.

Therefore, when opening the internet cafe, Lu Yu had repeatedly emphasized to Xiao Min that minors and students must be strictly prohibited from entering.

Then Lu Yu finally saw the netizens' accusations against Moyuwangka.

"What kind of proper place is this? There are even fights happening—even bars aren't this chaotic!"

"How can students be allowed into an internet cafe? Moyuwangka? I'm going to file a complaint!"

"I earnestly request the relevant authorities to act quickly and shut down Moyuwangka!"

"Hurry up and close it, boss behind the scenes—do you have no children? Or do you want to destroy the nation's future? If you have even a shred of conscience, immediately shut down Moyuwangka!"

Then Lu Yu even saw some netizens posting the locations of Moyuwangka outlets.

Moreover, beneath those outlet listings, they uploaded photos of the storefronts!

The netizens also became increasingly agitated, with some even proposing to go smash Moyuwangka.

Seeing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but furrow his brows tightly.

After a moment of silence, he called Xiao Min.

"Has our internet cafe ever received students or minors?" Lu Yu said this seriously, which is also the basis of his response.

"No. Boss, I can be absolutely certain there haven't been any."

"Because the system we developed for our internet cafe requires login via ID card."

"Moreover, I take time every few days to check the surveillance of each outlet."

Xiao Min also spoke very seriously.

Lu Yu lightly nodded; following this procedure, it is indeed possible to be completely certain that Moyuwangka has not violated any regulations.

So, how did all this happen?

Why is the Mo Du Daily also reporting on this?

Lu Yu fell silent again, then said: "Investigate the cause of this matter, see if someone is trying to frame us."

"Also, get in touch with the Mo Du Daily to verify the truth of their report."

After giving his instructions, Lu Yu hung up the phone.

No matter how you think about it, it seems like someone is stirring up trouble behind the scenes!

Otherwise, how could everything erupt all at once as if it had been premeditated?

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, but still chose not to call Mr. Qin.

If Mr. Qin handled this matter, he could easily trace the context through his own connections.

But Mr. Qin now has a more important role.

Moreover, Lu Yu actually considered calling some familiar influential people, but in the end decided to give up.

After all, in this era, the term "internet cafe" isn't exactly well-received; contacting these people might bring him trouble.

Fortunately, Xiao Min now also has the capability to act independently; she quickly gathered some information through her own network.

Only then did Lu Yu learn that, in fact, many days earlier, netizens had already uploaded some photos online and "confirmed" that Moyuwangka had indeed experienced bad incidents.

Moreover, it's worth mentioning that even some small websites have done similar reporting.

But what truly ignited this matter was the report from the Mo Du Daily.

Although this report only occupied a small portion of the page, after all it's the Mo Du Daily, so it attracted considerable attention.

Someone deliberately put the newspaper's content online, instantly drawing attention.

Lu Yu carefully analyzed the content Xiao Min sent him, and could already confirm that someone indeed wanted to target Moyuwangka.

Furthermore, Lu Yu even began to suspect Kong Zheng, the reporter from the Mo Du Daily.

Because Kong Zheng submitted materials that were extremely detailed, even including audio recordings.

If Lu Yu weren't already aware of the exact situation at Moyuwangka, based on Kong Zheng's materials he would have believed the other side!

So……

Now how should we solve the problem?

……

Lu Yu arrived at Moyuwangka.

He saw that outside Moyuwangka, people had already started pointing and gossiping, all saying things unfavorable to Moyuwangka.

Probably because Moyuwangka looks impressive; otherwise, they might really have moved to smash it.

But just as it is now, the impact on Moyuwangka is already considerable.

People come online just to relax a bit, yet they have to endure the pain of being pointed at—what's the point of going online then!

Lu Yu entered the internet cafe in silence.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

"How about we submit our surveillance footage?"

"That way, we should be able to clear our names."

This is the simplest and most effective solution Xiao Min came up with.

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "First, keep these materials safe; better yet, make a backup."

For now, let's hold our position.

Xiao Min hesitated a moment, but still said: 'But... our revenue is dropping in a straight line; if this situation continues just a few days, we'll also suffer a loss!'

Lu Yu said: 'You first do as I say; I have my own idea.'

Xiao Min naturally only nodded.

Lu Yu really has a plan.

Obviously this matter is being pushed by someone; they must have put a lot of thought into it.

So...

Lu Yu will ferret out this enemy, and he will also use this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to them.

Otherwise, there will definitely be many similar things happening in the future.

Actually, what Lu Yu is thinking about now is the identity of the person behind the scenes.

Yuehan is the first person Lu Yu suspects.

But Lu Yu does not rule out other possibilities.

The appearance of Moyuwangka has indeed affected other internet cafes quite a bit.

Cutting off someone's financial path is like killing their parents.

These people joining forces, dealing with Lu Yu is not impossible.

But no matter who, Lu Yu will definitely not let the other party take responsibility for what they have done!

In the evening, in a private room of a certain bar.

Sounds of laughter and joy.

After Yuehan drank a cup of wine, he then looked at the people seated again and said: 'You all did very well.'

"Now we can say we have achieved stage‑by‑stage success."

"But the focus is what comes next."

"This time, let's completely crush Lu Yu!"

"Come, cheers!"

"Hahaha..."
