Chapter 930 - 926
The Anarchic Consort
930 926
A scene of a private room filled with smoke was being displayed on the television live. Men and women could be seen in the private room, with the women wearing outrageously revealing clothes and being extremely flirtatious. One would immediately know what kind of place this was at a glance.
Liu Hongjiang’s expression changed as soon as he saw the private room. Before the blurred image shifted into focus, he whisper-shouted behind him, “Shut it down! Shut everything down!”
The staff who was in control of the video player heard Liu Hongjiang’s order and started slamming his fist forcefully at the stop button. However, his effort was in vain!
The image remained, and slowly, it became clearer and clearer. Then, it focused on one of the men’s faces!
The man looked eerily familiar, it was none other than Liu Hongjiang. He was even clad in his favorite suit and holding a promiscuous-looking busty woman in his arms, pursing his lips as he sloppily kissed the woman all over her face. He must have drunk a lot of alcohol, as his face was still rosy and his hands carelessly fondled the woman’s body. His eyes were half-squinted, making him seem extremely perverted. Any traces of style and elegance he had were totally gone, his behavior was simply unsightly.
“Oh my gosh!” The reporters at the scene could not help but let out gasps of surprise. When they finally regained their senses, frantic clicking of camera shutters sounded as they hastily took snapshots of Liu Hongjiang.
Although they were indeed invited by Liu Hongjiang and had often helped him in swaying the public opinion, this was undeniably a piece of huge news!
The one who managed to capture Liu Hongjiang’s reaction would be guaranteed television ratings and shocking headlines.
Liu Hongjiang’s face was ashen pale. He even rushed toward the video controller and tried to press all the switches himself, but it was useless!
Not only were his actions futile, but a voice also began to come from the video.
It was the conversation he had with Sixth Brother on the night of the train trip. He had specifically advised him, “The investigation from above has become stricter nowadays, unlike before. You must be more careful, give those children higher doses of the drug so that they are easier to be shipped out…”
That was his voice.
There was no way for him to deny this.
This time, Liu Hongjiang became greatly flustered and anxious, as his palms were filled with sweat. He reached out his hands and pulled the secretary close, asking, “What’s going on? What exactly is going on? Who touched the equipment here?”
“I-I don’t know.” The secretary was usually tied to the Chief Secretary. When the secretary saw the video, she was just as shocked as Liu Hongjiang.
A scandal!
This was the first reaction of the public.
In contrast to the contents of this video, Liu Hongjiang’s earlier words were nothing but complete bullsh*t. Recalling what he said would make one sick to the stomach.
Liu Hongjiang was like a headless chicken and could not care less about the reporters at the press conference. Whipping out his phone, he recklessly keyed in a series of numbers and yelled, “Cut off the live broadcast now!”
“Chief Secretary Liu, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. The broadcasting rights for the next half-hour has been purchased by someone else. As a member of qualified media personnel, as long as there are no clear instructions, I will allow broadcasts from the person who pays. After all, business is business.”
When he heard the reply, Liu Hongjiang wished that he could smash his phone on the spot!
He never thought that someone would spend the money to buy out all the broadcasting rights!
Who exactly has such tremendous financial resources!
Who is the person who wants to drive me to a corner?
Aren’t those people all locked up already?
Also, this video… how did they get hold of this!
Since they have such a video, why didn’t they release it earlier? Why must they wait until I hold a press conference?
How cruel!
They’re simply too cruel!
Do they want me to be completely humiliated in front of the whole nation?
Or do they want me dead?
Liu Hongjiang felt a chill in his heart. He was truly afraid, given that the broadcasting station was not like the internet. He feared that even a certain person would not be able to save him once this aired.
However, he simply could not figure out when and how the other party obtained so much information about him.
Liu Hongjiang surely would not know that as early, because a certain prince had already secured these materials when Baili Shangxie was brought to Yun City. It was just that he was never interested in human affairs.
Liu Hongjiang’s biggest mistake was arresting someone that he should never have.
His Highness always had one principle, that those who provoked him would never be given a chance to live.
Baili Jia Jue remained elegant as usual, as his beautiful eyes scanned the scene. A faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, making him look like a noble vampire from a movie. It could be clearly seen that Liu Hongjiang was in this state, because of a certain prince.
Baili Shangxie had no objection to Liu Hongjiang’s fate. There was no doubt that the person who arrested his Imperial Mother and younger brother for interrogation should receive such miserable retribution.
Oh, humans. A filthy species from head to toe.
To even think of pinning the crime on Imperial Mother right in front of Imperial Father, what a brainless fool!
The father and son’s facial expressions were in sync. Both the old and the young wore a smirk on their faces and let out a bloody laugh, before turning around and marching back to the interrogation room through the chaotic crowd.
The only difference was that Baili Shangxie’s hands were still dragging two reapers behind him, and he had a domineering look that warned people from approaching him. It was as though they were simply going for a stroll and walking the reapers like pets…
The reapers had no words. Are we here for you to take on a walk? Really?
The father and son walked away without looking back, without even with the least bit of intention to do so.
However, the chaos brought by them was still fermenting. Swarms of reporters gushed in from all directions, which prevented Liu Hongjiang from fleeing from the scene.
“Chief Secretary Liu, how do you explain the video?”
“Who is the woman in your arms? She isn’t your wife, right?”
“As a father yourself, are you not afraid of retribution for committing such an act?”
At this point in time, not only television channels, but major social networking sites were also broadcasting the drama live.
Everyone in the streets and alleys stopped in their tracks. Some people were browsing through the blogs on their phones, while others directly watched the humongous LED screen mounted in the mall. It blew everyone’s minds, and people began to fervently discuss the shocking issue.
“Bast*rd! That Liu guy is simply worse than an animal!”
“I can’t imagine anyone being this wicked, this is totally collusion with the criminals! He even blamed the crime on others, people like him should be shot to death!”
“It’s about time for his son to be abducted so he could taste the pain of losing a child!”
“We need an explanation! Isn’t there anyone to keep him under control?”
Tedious moments later, Liu Hongjiang finally made it back to his office. He was still hoping to dig up a previous connection to protect himself.
At that exact moment, Monkey had decoded the previous defense interference. Although Helian Wei Wei did not step out, her command was unaffected at all.
She was sitting in the interrogation room, directing everything like a queen. By communicating through her Bluetooth earphones, she instantly threw out her third trump card…
