Chapter 88: Stupid Woman?
Editors and Proof Reader: Alterious, Dervish, King of Mortals
Li Wen looked at his secretary in anger. The moment he was about to lie down for a rest, she would barge in and disturb him. After taking some deep breaths, he calmed down and asked.
"Well, what has happened now? Don't tell me it's still related to that idiot, Ye Wen."
His secretary tried her best not to stutter and said.
"Sir, the article is all over the internet."
Li Wen looked at her with cold eyes and said.
"Well, if it's this matter, then look for Hou Jie to block it again. Why are you disturbing me?"
"No sir, by all over the internet, I mean to say that it's all over the country. News sites, video streaming sites, blogs, everywhere. It's not just City Z's websites that have the article now."
Li Wen stood up anxiously from his seat and said, adding anger in his voice.
"Do you know what you are saying? You better watch your mouth when trying to say something like this."
The secretary backed away a little, but then mustered her courage and replied.
"No, sir, I am really telling the truth. It's all over the internet. Millions of people have already watched it, and that is even with censorship helping. The article and video are spreading like wildfire, and people are demanding justice for the girl."
Li Wen slammed the table, and glass on it broke because of it. He picked up his coat from the hanger and walked towards the door.
"I am going home to see how we can deal with this matter. Keep me updated on anything that happened related to this. Also, call Hou Jie and the mayor, ask them what we can do to settle this matter. Remember to pressure them a little so that they can hurry in this matter." Li Wen said while opening the door. After saying that, he walked out of the office and went towards the building gate, where a driver was already in the car.
He told the driver to go to his main house and closed his eyes while lying on the back seat. He was continually thinking about what would be the optimal solution to handle this matter.
After 20 minutes, he reached home. Everyone belonging to the household was sitting in the lounge, and when Li Wen walked in, their attention shifted towards him. It looked like they also knew about the situation and were waiting for him to arrive.
Before Li Wen could, his wife took hold of his arm and said.
"I won't let my Ye go to prison. I don't care what you do, settle this matter."
Li Wen looked at her and replied in an angry tone while freeing his arm from her grip.
"It's all your fault. You are the one who spoiled him this much. I asked you, again and again, to not spoil him that much, and it would cause a problem for him and us too, but no! Your stupidity is what has caused all this!" The anger that was building up inside him burst out like floodgates were opened.
"And this stupid son of yours, he kept that video on his computer, like it was a victory trophy. He should have destroyed it when the incident happened 3 years ago, but no, he thought 'well, I am the son of the president and above the law.'"
Li Wen vented his anger and sat down on the sofa. He started to massage his temples. His oldest son, who was also present, gave him a glass of water. Li Wen drank the water and then calmed down a little.
He looked towards his wife, who was shedding tears and sighed.
"Stop with those crocodile tears. I know you better, so don't show this drama to me. I will talk with the mayor and see what can be done. But, since the incident is public now, he needs to face some sort of punishment, or else the public won't calm down and this will only get worse."
Li Wen's wife, when she heard this, immediately stopped crying and said, while wiping out her tears, which had stained her makeup.
"No, he won't face any punishment. How is this his fault? It was that vixen's fault for charming my innocent son, and she is dead anyway. So why punish my son now? All he did was have a little fun."
Li Wen looked at his wife, who was talking stupidly and roared.
"You stupid women, shut up and go back to your room. I swear, if you dare spout any more nonsense, I am going to kill you along with your stupid son. I regret that day I made you my wife. If not for the money that I needed to start my business, I would never have chosen a stupid woman like you. Your and your son's actions are going to destroy this family and me."
Li Wen's eyes were red with anger when he said this. He knew that if he did not handle this incident well, not only his family but, even his business would not survive.
Li Wen's wife looked at his face full of anger and immediately went towards her room while bringing Ye Wen along with her.
Li Wen watched her going and plopped on the sofa powerlessly. His oldest son, who was watching all this drama, sat down beside Li Wen and said in a soft tone.
��No matter what, Ye Wen is still your son, and we need to keep our image too. I know you are angry right now, but please think about this with a calm mind."
Li Wen sighed and replied.
"I have thought about this with a calm mind, and the best way is that we let Ye Wen get prosecuted..."
"But, Dad…." His son interrupted him.
Li Wen raised his hand and said.
"Let me finish first. We let Ye Wen get prosecuted in public, but I will try to come up with a deal with the prosecutors and let them give Ye Wen minimum sentence, like sending him to an isolated prison or something. We will let him stay there for a while, like 4 to 5 days. It will be a good lesson for him and let him mature a little. During this time, the public will also lose interest, and then we will silently send him to a foreign country for a year or two. This way, we can solve this current problem and keep our image too."
After saying all this, Li Wen looked towards his son and asked.
"So how is it? This is the best plan to deal with this situation."
Li Wen's oldest son, Jun Wen, closed his eyes and started to process all the details inside his head, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said.
"Yes, I also think this is the best plan to deal with this current situation. But what about Mom? She won't allow this. She spoils Ye too much and won't be able to bear parting with him."
Li Wen clenched his fist and then said with a cold voice.
"Let her be. I won't allow her to destroy what I have worked hard to build. Also, if we don't follow this plan, then Ye Wen will have to rot in prison. So it's your job to convince her now."
Jun Wen nodded and then asked.
"Dad, do you think this can be the doing of one of our rivals. I mean, the scale at which all of this is happening is not something that can be done by a single person. I bet there is an organization behind all this.
Li Wen nodded when he heard this and replied.
"Well, I have also thought of the possibility, but there is no evidence. I have asked Hou Jie to track the culprit, and he will give me a report in 1 or 2 days. I swear when I find out who is behind all this, I will kill him myself. How dare he humiliate us like this?"
Jun nodded and then stood up.
"Alright, I will go to Mom now and try to talk to her. You can go to the bedroom and rest. I know you have been under a lot of stress, so you need to rest too. I will wake you up if there is anything urgent."
Li Wen nodded and started to walk towards his bedroom. He was really under a lot of stress as the moment he laid down on the bed and closed his eyes, he fell asleep.
While the family had decided what they were going to do next, the article was going viral throughout the whole country. People were sharing it, writing their opinion about it, and some even suggested that they go to Wen's family office building and deliver the justice themselves.
The censorship center tried to contain the situation at first, but the videos and articles only got more and more popular, so they backed down, because they knew that this matter was beyond their control now. They knew if they blocked this news any further, then the consequences would be more severe than they already were.
