Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2272: Chapter 1721: Big News

Ganande Times, a well-known major media outlet in M, holds a significant position in the global media industry.

In the Bai Xiaosheng incident, Ganande Times maintained a neutral stance.

Of course, there are reasons for this. The Morgan family and the Wei Family are both important partners of Ganande Times...

The neutrality of Ganande Times is not neutral in the general sense, but rather a confrontation of opinions from two renowned teams.

One team follows the mainstream to criticize Bai Xiaosheng, while the other emphasizes the suspicious nature of the incident and calls for rational thinking.

The confrontation between the two sides allows for a multi-angle objective view of matters, giving the appearance of being objective, fair, and neutral.

This kind of internal competition is not uncommon in the history of Ganande Times. On one hand, it reflects the spirit of free expression, and on the other, it attracts attention. Even if one side’s remarks are criticized, it still draws traffic.

This time, the head of the media team responsible for criticizing Bai Xiaosheng is the famous Luka.

Opposing him is another famous figure, Kyle.

Interestingly, whether intentionally or not by the upper management of Ganande Times, Luka and Kyle are natural rivals, competing for the annual best award and vying for higher positions.

Coincidentally, they are also neighbors. Of course, the housing is arranged by the company.

However, as neighbors, their relationship is quite strained, even hostile.

There have been many disputes, like when one household was too noisy at night, or their dogs caused trouble in the yard, resulting in numerous calls to the police and confrontations.

This time, in the ongoing battle, Luka had a significant advantage, leading substantially with a trend of overwhelming Kyle.

Naturally, Mr. Luka wouldn’t miss the opportunity to be a nuisance.

These days, Luka always finds ways to run into Kyle unexpectedly, always with an irritatingly cheerful smile, excitedly greeting him, asking, ”Hi, Kyle, how are you?”

It seems that Kyle has been provoked by Luka and is not far from physically attacking him.

Of course, this is intentional on Luka’s part.

Just imagine, if someone of Kyle’s status dared to take action, could he still achieve being the best of the year? That honor and position would fall into his own hands.

In upper society, even mind games come with a mix of all sorts of tactics.

On the fifth day of the Bai Xiaosheng incident, Luka already felt he had the victory in hand. Bai Xiaosheng no longer had any chances, and neither did Kyle!

Luka couldn’t help but feel refreshed. After work, he deliberately went to the company’s underground parking lot, waiting by his car for Kyle, intending to annoy him.

Kyle’s car was parked right next to his.

As it turned out, despite waiting and waiting, Kyle never showed up, while other colleagues from various teams left after work.

Luka saw someone from the office next to Kyle and deliberately asked about Kyle.

”Mr. Luka, didn’t you know?” That person looked at Luka with a peculiar expression, ”Mr. Kyle is probably working late tonight!”

”Working late?” Luka was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing, ”What ideas does he have to dig up and justify the Bai Xiaosheng incident? I think he’s just stubbornly holding on, doing futile work, how ridiculous...”

That person seemed ready to say something.

But Luka’s phone suddenly rang, and he waved to that person, going to answer the call.

The person shrugged, took a deep look at him, and turned to leave.

The call was from Luka’s assistant. As soon as Luka picked up, on the other end came a torrent of words like a storm, ”Mr. Luka, where on earth are you? You haven’t been replying to messages, and we couldn’t get through on the phone. Finally connected, you need to come back to the office; there’s a situation here! Hey, did you hear that? Come back, now, immediately!”

Luka stared at his phone in astonishment.

His assistant was actually using a commanding tone, shouting, seemingly fearing the call would be disconnected if delayed.

”I’ll be right there. Whatever it is, we’ll talk when I arrive!” Luka shouted, and the call was cut.

Damn the parking lot, the signal is extremely poor.

...

Luka hurriedly took the elevator back to his office. Outside the office, he saw his team gathered around a large screen, pointing and discussing intensely.

Luka strode forward, pushing through the crowd, frowning and asking, ”What’s going on? What are you all watching?!”

The crowd parted as soon as they saw him.

An assistant quickly rewound the video to the relevant key information part.

Luka stared at the screen.

The camera was focused on three people.

One Caucasian, two Asian faces, two men and one woman.

Luka was extremely familiar with these three faces because, not only had he been watching them these days, but he had also specifically interviewed the three of them.

Nick, Ma Weiqian, and Jin Yunxuan.

Why are they in this video?!

Luka was momentarily stunned, a vague sense of something wrong crept into his heart.

Could it be that these three gave some kind of interview?

To hell with it, wasn’t it agreed that all interviews with these three had to have the others present?

Whether it was Ganande Times or any other media interview, it had to be the case!

Luka focused on watching.

At that moment, on screen, with a face bearing scratches and torn, shabby clothes, Jin Yunxuan was talking to the camera with an expression of triumph.

There wasn’t a trace of a victim’s sorrow and pain, clearly an air of a triumphant villainess.

Luka’s heart sank; just this expression was enough to create immense aversion in viewers.

”Mr. Bai, I now understand why you’ve been so calm. It turns out you were thinking of using your resources to save yourself. Don’t you think it’s a bit late! Since Miss Caroline wants to take action against you, would she easily change her mind because of these?”

Luka was stunned watching this scene, unable to believe that Jin Yunxuan would say something like that.

Does this foolish woman even know what nonsense she’s spouting!

In the footage, Nick shouted at Jin Yunxuan, ”Shut up, Jin Yunxuan you’re crazy, what does Miss Caroline have to do with this!”

What should’ve been the victim, Jin Yunxuan, showed no signs of misery in the footage, instead showing disdain toward Nick. ”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng was right, this room’s soundproofed, outside are our own people, what’s there to be unsaid, anyway we three are deeply involved, who on earth could speak out.”

Ma Weiqian in the footage also said, ”Certainly, no one!”

Jin Yunxuan continued, ”No wonder Mr. Bai can’t stand you, Mr. Nick, your caution is overdone!”

”Mr. Bai, is this the message you want to send Miss Caroline, just begging for mercy? Well, I’ll certainly pass it along, but I can’t guarantee that it’ll make her spare you.”

The video continued, the surrounding crowd was completely silent, all eyes on Luka.

Luka’s face turned green, his fists clenched.

He didn’t hate himself for trusting the wrong people. He didn’t even care about what kind of conspiracy might be behind this matter; he just felt a furious rage.

This isn’t an interview, this is a recording.

Why would those idiots in the footage allow themselves to be filmed, and why would they dare say such things to the camera!

Most infuriatingly, why was he on their side!

Damn it, it’s abominable!

These incompetent teammates!

Luka was shaking with anger.

”Arthur, has this video been doctored?” Luka suddenly turned to a video editor in the team and shouted.

”No!” Arthur answered briskly, then added in a low voice, ”Previously there was a video, verified by senior technician Donnie at the station, proving no editing or splicing, real and valid.”

Luka’s complexion turned from green to white in an instant.

That Donnie not only works at the station but is also a certified expert recognized by the police.

His words carry weight.

”Has this video already been aired?” Luka, clinging to the last sliver of hope, asked a question to which he already knew the answer.

Everyone nodded.

Someone whispered, ”We also downloaded it from the internet. Mr. Kyle over there is rushing to write up a piece...”

There was no need to say more, and Luka couldn’t help but lean on the table.

Outside the door, someone hurried past, suddenly stopped, looked inside, and spotted Luka in the crowd, smiling, ”Hi, Luka.”

Luka looked in bewilderment, and it was indeed Kyle.

At this moment, Kyle’s face was beaming with an unprecedented smile, warmly saying to him, ”Luka, how are you?”
