Chapter 1124: Chapter 1115: The True Motive
So Qianxi remained skeptical, but despite the doubts, Xiao Yifei continued to treat Qianxi. According to Qianxi’s mother, as long as there was the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle and soone who could use it, the after-effects of Qianxi’s cultivation thod could be completely eradicated. Since it was what Qianxi’s mother claid, Qianxi deeply believed it.
Moreover, Xiao Yifei discovered through research that Qianxi’s mother was indeed correct. All it took was to repair a point in Qianxi’s body that controlled emotions, which was damaged by the cultivation thod. This might be impossible for others, but for Xiao Yifei, who possesses the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, it was quite easy. Furthermore, with seven Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles, using one for treatnt and others for support would greatly increase the success rate.
Thus, Xiao Yifei returned to the Hua Mansion to begin preparations. Qianxi had once told him that as his skill progressed, his temper would beco increasingly uncontrollable, potentially leading to qigong deviation. Qianxi’s previous anger stemd from not obtaining the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, which was a cause of his agitation. After all, Qianxi’s cultivation technique increased skill even without active cultivation, making tily treatnt crucial to avoid unpredictable consequences.
During this preparation period, Ren Tianye suffered quite a bit, but the suffering was due to the orders from above. When instructed to hand over the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, Ren Tianye claid he accidentally lost it, which infuriated his superiors.
Not only did they remove the markets under Ren Tianye’s control, they drastically cut funding to Ren Tianye’s company. As they said, anyone who makes such a fundantal error is unworthy of having a company. Consequently, Ren Tianye’s company’s stock plumted instantly, from being worth millions to nearly bankrupt overnight.
The news understandably didn’t miss this story and kept escalating its coverage, despite Qianxi not caring enough to follow it closely. Facing the near-collapse of Ren Tianye’s company, Qianxi was actually pleased, as Ren Tianye had previously antagonized him—collapse served him right. However, Xiao Yifei had a different perspective on the matter.
Xiao Yifei’s mind was quite ticulous. Upon seeing the news, he speculated imdiately that Ren Tianye must have offended soone, as it was impossible for his large company to collapse overnight otherwise. This focus led Xiao Yifei to think about the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle in his possession.
Previously, Xiao Yifei had heard that Ren Tianye collected Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles not for himself, but for soone else, either because the person was critically ill or Ren Tianye dared not defy them. Now it seed the latter was the true motive behind Ren Tianye’s collection efforts.
Ren Tianye was ordered to collect the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles, but because Qianxi needed them, Ren Tianye disobeyed and pretended to lose them at Qianxi’s place.
Unable to deliver the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle as commanded, Ren Tianye’s superiors unleashed their wrath, effectively ruining Ren Tianye overnight as punishnt. Thus, if Ren Tianye intentionally left the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle at Qianxi’s house, all actions could be accounted for.
But upon knowing everything, Xiao Yifei felt conflicted, especially when recalling Ren Tianye’s visit to Liu Rui. Perhaps Ren Tianye was rely putting on a façade. Thinking this, Xiao Yifei had a mixed feeling, not quite comfortable. He had indeed disliked Ren Tianye before, but if Ren Tianye did these things, Xiao Yifei might have to reevaluate his impression of Ren Tianye.
In so ways, although Ren Tianye didn’t do well in other areas, when it ca to soone he liked, Ren Tianye genuinely earned Xiao Yifei’s admiration.
Outside the central building, circles of journalists surrounded the entrance holding microphones and caras, symbols of facts. At this mont, they were waiting for Ren Tianye to appear. Over recent days, due to the company’s troubles, things Ren Tianye previously did had also been exposed to the public, turning his na into a fixture of dia frenzy.
That’s why they layered themselves closely here, just to hear a single sentence from Ren Tianye.
“Boss, what should we do, those reporters are too aggressive.” Inside the central building, an assistant frowned while looking at the reporters through the window. At this mont, Ren Tianye was sitting in a chair, holding his breath in deep thought.
“Boss?” The assistant, receiving no response, called Ren Tianye again, prompting him to react finally. Seeing the assistant’s troubled expression, Ren Tianye sighed and asked, “How many are outside?” Hearing this, the assistant gestured, stating, “Here are quite a few, it’s likely difficult to get out.”
Upon hearing they couldn’t leave, Ren Tianye chuckled bitterly, “Just like the saying ‘walls fall and everyone pushes’, that’s exactly my situation now.” While saying this, Ren Tianye slowly stood up, took a glance at the crowd outside through the window, arranging his thoughts before saying to his assistant, “Take off your clothes!”
“What?” The assistant was shocked by Ren Tianye’s request, his eyes almost comically wide in surprise. “Boss, don’t do that.” The assistant replied with a trembling voice, sounding scared. Seeing this, Ren Tianye helplessly explained, “You’ll wear my clothes and go out the main door, turning left. I’ll go right.”
Upon hearing Ren Tianye’s explanation, the assistant awkwardly scratched his head and smiled, “So that’s how it is.” The assistant quickly dressed in Ren Tianye’s clothes and donned sunglasses as instructed, while Ren Tianye summoned a cleaning staffer to switch clothes.
“All right, let’s go,” said Ren Tianye, moving out together with his assistant.
“Hey, it’s Ren Tianye, Mr. Ren!” A quick-eyed reporter spotted Ren Tianye, causing a lively commotion as reporters holding microphones rushed towards Ren Tianye, quickly engulfing him.
“Mr. Ren, could you comnt on the company’s situation? Mr. Ren?”
“Mr. Ren, what do you have to say about the previous rumors of illegal enrichnt?”
One question ca after another, a barrage of inquiries overflowing instantly—no one could rapidly respond to all. Thus, Ren Tianye continuously fended off reporters waving microphones and caras while repeatedly declaring no comnt, heading towards the building’s right side amidst the crowd.
After the reporters left, a man dressed in a cleaner’s uniform erged from the building entrance, cautiously looking around before slowly stepping out. Looking apprehensive about encountering anyone, the man lowered his hat brim and quickly turned left, trying to leave the building.
