Chapter 2184

Regarding such a matter, Yin Mingxu also found it very difficult to accept, but the Old Master's words kept echoing in his ears.

Yin Mo was set up; whether it was Zhou Andong or the Jian family, they weren't targeting Yin Mo, but Yin Mingsheng and the entire Yin family.

If Yin Mo had only been arrested for other matters, even murder or arson, it might not have caused such a negative impact on the Yin family and Yin Mingsheng's personal reputation.

After all, although these crimes were heinous, in social opinion and public perception, they still fell within the scope of being judged and punished through legal procedures.

However, in the Chinese nation, matters between men and women have always been extremely sensitive and difficult to talk about. Once such issues are involved, regardless of the severity, they instantly become the focus of public attention.

And Yin Mo, as a direct descendant of the Yin family, actually committed such an immoral scandal as solicitation. What was worse was that he was not only caught on the spot by the police, but also behaved extremely arrogantly and domineeringly at the scene.

Then he started reporting his name and background, publicly threatening and intimidating the police, clamoring to skin them alive. Then it was exposed by the media, and the Yin family's reputation in the hearts of the common people completely stank—and it was the kind that stank to high heaven.

The Yin family had never been afraid of being ridiculed or mocked; their skin wasn't that thin, but they were afraid of the Yin family's image collapsing in the eyes of the public.

Especially Yin Mingsheng, who was serving in Liaoning Province, while his son was acting like a tyrant and running rampant on this land. Being caught for solicitation was one thing, but he also arrogantly threatened the police. What would the common people think?

If you are so arrogant and domineering in the face of the police, if one day we ordinary common people accidentally offend you, the young master, is there any way to survive?

And what worried the Yin family's Old Master the most was that this matter was probably far from over. Thinking from another perspective, if they were in the position of the Jian family and Zhou Andong, there was no doubt they would definitely seize this opportunity to press their advantage.

Just by slightly guiding public opinion, this seemingly small incident could quickly ferment and expand, nailing their opponent firmly to the pillar of shame.

Especially in Liaoning Province, Jian Zhengxue had been in power here for more than four years, and Zhou Andong was a native of Jiangzhou. And the Yugong Group's influence in Liaoning Province today could be described as unparalleled.

Not only did they create a large number of job opportunities locally and promote rapid economic growth, but they also took on social responsibilities. They not only had their own charitable foundation, but also built Hope Primary Schools all over the country, and donated money and materials wherever there was a disaster, winning high praise and trust from the public.

It could be said that the Yugong Group had already become a banner in the economic field of Liaoning Province, and even the whole country, leading numerous enterprises to move forward constantly.

Therefore, Liaoning Province was the territory of this father-in-law and son-in-law, their base camp, and their foundation was so deep that no one could match it. Here, they possessed unique advantages in guiding public opinion.

Once they really started operating, that chair under Yin Mingsheng's butt, which he hadn't had time to warm up yet, would probably have to be handed over soon.

After all, the central authorities could never turn a blind eye to the surging public opinion. Once this trend was set off, Yin Mingsheng would inevitably be quickly transferred from his original post and temporarily set aside for cold treatment.

In this way, the situation that their entire Yin family had carefully planned and deployed would instantly collapse, and all their efforts and hard work would come to nothing.

Yin Mingxu recounted the Old Master's words: "Second Brother, think from another perspective. If it were us, would we press our advantage and nail the other party to the pillar of shame?"

Yin Mingsheng's eyes narrowed. "I understand."

Yin Mingxu comforted him: "You don't need to worry about Xiao Mo. It's just solicitation. No matter how big the matter gets, it's just a fine and detention."

"I'm not worried about him!"

Yin Mingsheng's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water. He gritted his teeth tightly, squeezing the words out from between his teeth.

"My mind is full of thinking about what kind of tool I can use to break his legs. If it weren't for him running around blindly and causing this mess in Jiangzhou, how could we be so passive?"

Yin Mingxu guessed something in his heart: "I reckon Xiao Mo was probably aiming for the Yugong Group this time too."

"Aiming for the Yugong Group?" Yin Mingsheng laughed out of anger upon hearing this: "With his pig-like stupid brain, he dares to have designs on the Yugong Group? Who gave him the courage?"

Yin Mingxu was slightly silent for a moment, mainly because even he couldn't find suitable words to describe this nephew.

Zhou Andong's success today wasn't luck; it was truly built on stepping over corpses. How many people had he sent to prison, or even to the execution ground?

What's more, Zhou Andong had the Jian family behind him. Not to mention someone like Yin Mo who had no brain to begin with, even if he were to clash with Zhou Andong, he would have to think carefully and weigh it repeatedly.

"Let's leave it at that."

Yin Mingsheng said, then hung up the phone. He looked up and saw his secretary still standing there, so he said.

"Contact the media immediately. I will hold a press conference at 10:00 tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Sun Dongliang hurriedly agreed, then turned and walked out of the office, letting out a long sigh once he was outside.

Jiangzhou!

Zhou Andong had a cigarette in his mouth, his legs propped up on the desk, looking at Gu Bing, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him.

"I say, Secretary Gu, you're really idle now."

Zhou Andong took a puff of his cigarette, tilting his head slightly to avoid the smoke that was stinging his eyes.

"Can you go keep your wife company and stop being an eyesore in front of me?"

Gu Bing also had a cigarette in his mouth, his hands behind his back, resting on the back of the sofa.

"I came over to keep you company because I was afraid you'd be lonely. I didn't expect you to be like a dog biting Lu Dongbin—not recognizing a good heart."

Zhou Andong ignored him, put his feet down, stood up, and walked out.

Gu Bing also hurriedly stood up: "Where are you going?"

"Look at what time it is now. Of course, I'm going to eat." Zhou Andong said without looking back: "Close the door."

Gu Bing slammed the door shut and said with a grin: "Wait for me a moment. I'll go call my wife, and we'll go together."

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he vaguely heard the office telephone ringing.

"Hmm?" Zhou Andong grabbed Gu Bing: "Listen, is that my office phone ringing?"

Gu Bing tilted his ear to listen: "Seems like it!"

Zhou Andong turned back to walk inside. The ringing of the phone became clearer and clearer. When he pushed open the office door, the ringing sound instantly amplified, impacting his eardrums.

He walked over quickly, saw it was a call from Jingcheng, and hurriedly grabbed the phone.

"Hello!"

"Dongzi!" His mother Yuan Liying's excited voice came through the receiver: "Qiuqiu has given birth."
