Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Lu Yanchuan’s Decision

“We’ve tracked the IP address of the other party, but there’s an expert on their team, and we’ve been discovered.”

Lu Yanchuan’s phone never stopped, and the notification tone kept ringing; Qiao Yi, seeing the messages on Lu Yanchuan’s phone, became anxious and frustrated.

“Since they have discovered us, there’s no need to hide it. Directly lock onto the track, investigate their online activities and all consumption records.”

Before Qiao Yi could speak, Lu Yanchuan had already issued the order. There was a response, and then silence, indicating they had gone to investigate.

“By doing this, won’t we startle the snake? If we accidentally push them into a corner, it could get troublesome.”

This was exactly what Qiao Yi was most worried about; she was not afraid of a direct confrontation, but if the other party became desperate and played their trump card.

Whether it was anyone close to her getting dragged in or being in danger, these were outcomes Qiao Yi did not want to see.

“Now that my people have been discovered, they will definitely take action. If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we’ll find evidence again.”

Lu Yanchuan had his considerations, seeing that Qiao Yi was still full of concern, he helplessly set down the computer and pulled Qiao Yi out of the study.

“If you’re worried, go call some of your girlfriends, I’ve got this covered.”

After being pushed out of the study, it took a moment for Qiao Yi to snap back to reality.

Was she being pushed away?

Regardless of whether she was being disliked or not, since Lu Yanchuan had taken over the matter, Qiao Yi decided not to add to the chaos.

Listening to Qiao Yi mumbling to herself as she walked away from the study, the warmth on Lu Yanchuan’s face faded, and he returned to the computer, going back to the interface he was working on.

Strings of code came into being under Lu Yanchuan’s fingers, turning the massive database into a pouch that he could flip through at will.

Although Yan Xiyu is always put to work by him, it was his technical skills that initially impressed Yan Xiyu.

Even now, it would be very difficult for Yan Xiyu to defeat Lu Yanchuan.

The news that had just exploded online truly angered Lu Yanchuan.

There were claims that Qiao Yi was a woman of loose morals before her marriage, and others saying that Qiao Yi was rejected by Lu Ming and then shamelessly used her family’s influence to marry Lu Yanchuan.

Even though this news was suppressed by Lu Yanchuan’s people as soon as it appeared, it still had some impact.

Qiao Yi hadn’t been paying attention to this, so she was unaware of this small tempest.

But Lu Yanchuan knew and even rarely felt a surge of intense anger because of it.

The troll farm head thought his heavily fortified computer was secure, but under Lu Yanchuan’s hands, it was as fragile as paper.

After leaving countless trash viruses, Lu Yanchuan brazenly took away all the useful things on the troll farm head’s computer.

He even didn’t spare a certain “study material” folder of over 150 gigabytes.

Several sheets of paper were ejected from the printer, evidence of transactions between the troll farm head and Bai Lingling, including accounts with financial activities and their chat history.

Certainly, the call logs between Bai Lingling and the troll farm head were also preserved in Lu Yanchuan’s computer.

These only proved that Bai Lingling paid to tarnish Qiao Yi’s reputation online and could not prove she was behind these crimes.

But this was enough!

Lu Yanchuan instructed his people to continue following Lu Song’s leads, while he sent the materials he had gathered to Lu Xiaohua.

Within three minutes, Lu Xiaohua’s call came through.

“Yanchuan, those things you sent me…”

“They are real, personally verified by me.”

There was silence on Lu Xiaohua’s side, taking a while before speaking again.

“What do you plan to do?”

Lu Xiaohua was reluctant to believe the data, but it was sent by Lu Yanchuan, whom she knew never lied.

“Since the Bai Family has chosen to declare war on the Lu Family, I will show no mercy.”

Lu Yanchuan sent these pieces of evidence to Lu Xiaohua to inform her that he was acting against the Bai Family with justification, and even if Lu Xiaohua and the matriarch of the Bai Family were best friends, it couldn’t interfere with matters involving both families.

Lu Xiaohua knew that almost no one could change what Lu Yanchuan had decided. Her throat tightened as she clung to the faintest hope and asked again.

“Is there really no other solution?”

“There is, I could release this information online, and have Bai Lingling publicly apologize to Qiao Yi.”

This was an impossible solution. Not to mention whether Bai Lingling and her family would agree, even if Bai Lingling did, would Qiao Yi forgive her?

Moreover, if Lu Yanchuan really did that, even if the Bai Family didn’t want to protect Bai Lingling, they would have to oppose the Lu Family for the sake of their family’s reputation.

They couldn’t just let outsiders watch as the Bai Family pushes an ignorant child out to take the blame!

It was an unsolvable situation, Lu Xiaohua had nothing to say, and hung up the phone in silence.

Perhaps the only thing she could do now was to give the Bai Family a heads-up in advance.

Having resolved the only person who might stop him, Lu Yanchuan gave direct orders to begin an all-out assault on the Bai Family’s industry projects.

Bai Lingling only learned of Lu Yanchuan’s orders after rushing to the company.

Between the Bai Family and Lu Family, there’s no need to guess which side people would take.

They might plot against the Lu Family in secret, but who would dare to openly stand against them!

In just one afternoon, the Bai Family’s shares shrunk by five percent, and before dusk, the Qiao Family also started to make their move.

Although the Qiao Family’s influence wasn’t as powerful as the Lu Family’s, they were in the same league as the Bai Family. If they couldn’t confront the Bai Family directly, couldn’t they join forces with other families to benefit themselves?

Bai Lingling watched the group’s shares plunge, and by dinner time, all projects involving the Bai Family and companies in collaboration with them were affected, the whole stock market was a sea of green.

“Speak! Why did you hire a troll army for no reason, and provoke the Lu Family!”

Bai Lingling stood with her head lowered in the Bai Family’s study. Across from her stood an enraged Bai Jing and Zhao Liting, who was busy trying to mediate.

These two were Bai Lingling’s parents as well as the current Family Head and the patriarch’s wife of the Bai Family.

That afternoon, when Zhao Liting received the message from Lu Xiaohua about Lu Yanchuan taking action against the Bai Family, she thought it was a joke.

But when the Bai Family’s stock market saw its first turning point, Zhao Liting knew it was real!

Zhao Liting asked Lu Xiaohua for details, but Lu Xiaohua hesitated to explain. Only when pushed did she partially share the evidence sent by Lu Yanchuan with Zhao Liting.

Once Zhao Liting got hold of the evidence, she got busy with Bai Jing confirming the validity of this data. After ascertaining that their always obedient and innocent Bai Lingling was behind it, the couple had to believe it.

Their seemingly sweet daughter had such a face behind the scenes!
