Chapter 2600: The Yin Family's Confusion

~7 min read 1,310 words

The Yin Family!

Yin Zongquan, that old thing, was looking at the newspaper with a gloomy face. The air pressure in the study was very low, and the Yin siblings sitting on the side didn't dare to breathe loudly. They had just come the day before yesterday, and they didn't know what was going on, but the old man had called them all over again.

However, they had been there for twenty minutes, and the old man had just been changing newspapers one by one to read, not even looking at them directly. Therefore, they already had an idea. It wasn't a good thing, and the matter wasn't small; otherwise, the old man's face wouldn't be so ugly.

Time passed bit by bit, and after another ten minutes or so, Yin Zongquan finally finished reading all the newspapers.

"You're all here!" Yin Zongquan raised his head and tapped his finger on the thick stack of newspapers: "Take the newspapers over and take a look."

Everyone's hearts tightened. The eldest sister, Yin Meihong, looked at the others. Seeing that no one moved, she braced herself, stood up, went to the desk, picked up the newspapers, turned back to the sofa, and placed the thick stack on the coffee table.

Everyone looked at each other, and each picked up a newspaper. Since the old man had them bring these newspapers over, it meant that the news reports the old man valued were in every newspaper, which also showed that the matter was really not small.

Furthermore, they didn't ask what the matter was. If they couldn't find the news the old man valued and paid attention to, it meant their sensitivity wasn't enough, and they had no sense of crisis; they wouldn't need to mix in society in the future.

Then, they began to carefully flip through the newspapers. A few minutes later, the eldest son-in-law, Qu Hongwen, paused while flipping through the newspaper, his eyes narrowed, and then his brows furrowed.

"Third!" Qu Hongwen turned his head to look at the third Yin, Yin Mingyu: "Did you find someone to publish an article in the newspaper criticizing Zhou Andong?"

"No!" Yin Mingyu shook his head: "Just at the beginning, I found someone to test the waters, but Zhou Andong didn't make any moves. I felt something was wrong, so I immediately called a halt. This matter was discussed by all of us, and Dad knows it too."

"I'm not talking about last time, but now." Qu Hongwen stuffed the newspaper into Yin Mingyu's arms: "Take a look."

"I found it too." The youngest daughter, Yin Meilan, suddenly said: "This is yesterday's Yangcheng Evening News. This article is simply pointing at Zhou Andong's nose and scolding him. The author's name is Xie Fusheng."

"Xie Fusheng?" Yin Meilan's husband, Wang Jiantao, muttered: "Why does this person's name sound so familiar?"

Qu Hongwen immediately said: "This Xie Fusheng is Zhou Andong's mortal enemy. A year ago, the two of them scolded each other in the newspapers, which caused quite a stir."

"I remember now." Wang Jiantao realized: "Zhou Andong's character is not good, and he has offended many people. There are too many people scolding him, so I didn't remember for a moment."

"I also found an article scolding Zhou Andong." The second Yin, Yin Mingxing, shook the newspaper in his hand: "This is the Science and Technology Daily; it actually published an article scolding Zhou Andong too."

Following that, they flipped through twenty or so newspapers, including several magazines. Even the Liaoning Daily and Evening News had articles scolding Zhou Andong, which was a bit abnormal.

Not to mention that Yin Mingsheng hadn't yet gained a firm foothold in Liaoning Province, even if he had, he absolutely wouldn't be stupid enough to let the media in Liaoning scold Zhou Andong. Because Liaoning is Zhou Andong's old nest, and with Zhou Andong's fame and financial resources, plus the influence left by Cheng Zhanjun and Jian Zhengxue, if these people really united to counterattack, he, Yin Mingsheng, the class monitor, would have to be beaten until he vomited blood and suffered severe damage to his vitality.

After all, the warning from the past hadn't been that long ago. His son was still detained in the Jiangzhou detention center, and he, a dignified frontier official, had also been fiercely tricked by Zhou Andong because of his son, causing his reputation to be severely damaged.

Therefore, without catching Zhou Andong's handle and being able to kill him in one blow, even if the Yin family fought Zhou Andong until their heads were broken and blood flowed, Yin Mingsheng wouldn't act rashly. At most, he would secretly make some small moves to disgust Zhou Andong, and he would have to be very careful not to be caught by Zhou Andong.

Yin Mingxing slowly put down the newspaper in his hand and looked up at his father: "Dad, why do I feel something is a bit wrong?"

Wang Jiantao nodded in agreement: "It's indeed not quite right. It's understandable for those enemies of Zhou Andong to seize the donation matter to scold him. But Liaoning is Zhou Andong's old nest, and the Liaoning Daily and Evening News also published articles scolding him—this is a bit strange."

Qu Hongwen pondered and said: "The most abnormal thing is right here. Zhou Andong donated quite a lot of money to Sanbei Province. Look, it's not just the Liaoning media; even the Longjiang and Jilin media participated. The problem here is huge."

Yin Mingyu tapped his head and said: "And those enemies of Zhou Andong—according to common sense, immediately after the disaster relief fundraising gala ended, they should have seized the opportunity to publish articles scolding Zhou Andong."

"Even when we published articles criticizing Zhou Andong, they didn't follow. Now, almost two months have passed, and they have suddenly emerged collectively. There must be someone pushing this behind the scenes."

"Who is this person?" Yin Meilan asked suspiciously: "He should also be Zhou Andong's enemy, and to be able to unite so many people and let media from all over the country publish articles scolding Zhou Andong simultaneously—his connections, ability, and financial resources cannot be small."

Yin Meihong suddenly laughed: "If this is really Zhou Andong's enemy's doing, then it should be a good thing for us."

Qu Hongwen suddenly said: "What I'm afraid of is that this is Zhou Andong's own doing."

"Impossible!" Yin Mingyu retorted without thinking: "Who would find people to scold themselves for no reason?"

"Exactly!" Yin Meihong echoed: "Even a fool wouldn't find people to scold themselves, right?"

Yin Mingxing's face was uncertain, and his fingers tapped rhythmically on his thigh: "Zhou Andong is insidious and cunning. This kind of thing—others might not be able to do it, but he really might be able to."

"Why?" Yin Meihong asked: "Finding media to scold oneself must be profitable, but where is the profit? I can't see it at all."

Qu Hongwen's brows furrowed tighter: "I can't see it either, his purpose for doing this. But I have a premonition that the pusher behind this matter is Zhou Andong himself."

"Dad!" Yin Mingxing looked at his father: "What is your opinion on this matter?"

Yin Zongquan picked up his teacup and took a shallow sip: "There is a 90% chance that this matter was done by Zhou Andong himself."

"Ah?" Except for Qu Hongwen and Yin Mingxing, everyone else widened their eyes in disbelief.

Yin Zongquan picked up the cigarette on the desk, lit it, then stood up and walked slowly to the window, looking at the scenery outside, his eyes becoming somewhat ethereal.

"I can't guess his purpose for doing this either, but it must be aimed at our Yin family. Therefore, temporarily stop all actions against the wool mill and see how things develop." ===== CHAPTER 2601 =====
