Chapter 3: Digging Deep to Uncover the Truth!
Six years later.
"Recently, a series of scandalous photos of Mr. Dongfang She, president of the AIR Group, have been leaked online, accumulating over ten million clicks. The popularity index rivals that of Kiva, the king of the entertainment world. In response, Mr. Dongfang has remained silent. The rumored marriage alliance between Mr. Dongfang and the royal princess has once again become a great mystery. Can the notoriously playboy young master Dongfang still win the princess’s heart?..."
The giant screens on the streets were flooded with provocative photos of a certain high-profile CEO, spreading like wildfire, utterly unstoppable.
At the same time, the AIR Group was thrown into chaos. The technicians were all overwhelmed, their faces ashen when the computer finally displayed an image of a naked Shinnosuke Nohara butt.
Even the professional hacker team was powerless to halt the escalating crisis. They could only stare helplessly as their boss’s muscular frame and commanding posture were plastered across the web.
Curiously, each photo was taken with perfect precision, clearly showcasing the CEO’s devilishly handsome face, yet the female lead in the pictures never made an appearance!
“Sir...” Qin Ye, the executive assistant, frowned deeply. This tactic reminded him of something six years ago—when Dongfang She nearly lost everything.
Six years prior, a scandal involving a similar set of explicit photos and charges of organizing debauchery had destroyed Dongfang She’s reputation. Simultaneously, the Longmen factory in Mexico was severely damaged, with countless casualties overnight.
It was not hard to deduce that the woman involved back then was a spy sent by the opposing side, intending to distract Dongfang She, while their real target was Longmen.
With a heavy slap on the marble table, the man ground his teeth and glared at the image of Shinnosuke wiggling his bare behind on the screen. “Dig to the ends of the earth—find out who’s behind this!”
“Yes, sir!”
Damn it! How dare anyone mock the formidable Dongfang She, president of AIR Group and a kingpin feared in both legitimate and underground circles!
Dongfang She—an internationally feared name. Publicly, he was the CEO and principal shareholder of AIR Group, a leading enterprise in G City. Privately, he was the head of Longmen, the world’s richest and most powerful secret organization.
In recent years, Longmen’s influence had expanded rapidly, no longer confined to Asia. Since partnering with the shadow syndicate led by Long Shaozun of Yunyang City, Dongfang She had brazenly brought the underworld’s business into the light. Almost everyone in business and politics knew of his powerful backing—even the government treaded carefully around him.
Once a reckless playboy, Dongfang She had changed after his devastating defeat six years ago. Though he still indulged in drinking, gambling, and women, he had learned to hold back, no longer making tabloid headlines every other day.
So why was he exposed again now?
His dark green eyes flickered with shadowy coldness. His chiseled, statuesque profile radiated icy resolve. His thin lips pressed tightly together like a lion ready to pounce.
“Track the perpetrator’s ID immediately. Mobilize the PR department—do everything necessary to suppress this!”
Dongfang She had always been a charming rogue, untouchable despite countless encounters with danger. Yet now, someone had caught him off guard.
Damn! Who was bold enough to challenge the crown prince?
“This... can it even be suppressed?” Qin Ye thought bitterly. They hadn’t managed to suppress it six years ago—how could they now?
Dongfang She slammed the table again, overturning it in fury. “Suppress it even if it’s impossible! No matter what, I want this buried! If any media dares to report these baseless rumors again, they’re declaring war on me personally. I’ll make sure they regret it!”
Qin Ye was speechless.
Sir, are you sure these are baseless rumors?
Isn’t the man in those photos you?
Even a three-year-old could recognize it’s you!
