Chapter 567: The Fall Of The Fengs
Three notifications popped up in front of him.
[Incomplete Materials detected]
[More precious materials detected.]
[Special items will give birth to additional abilities, talent or more unknown changes. Are you sure you want to submit?]
Su Yang did not hesitate and chose [Confirm].
A moment later, everything in front of Su Yang disappeared. Then, a white object fell from the sky and landed on the ground with a “Thud”.
“Hmm...” Su Yang made a sound of disgust when he saw that it was a piece of Basa fish meat.
Actually, he reacted that way not because the fish meat was not well done. On the contrary, it looked much better than the burnt fish meat that Su Yang created.
However, Su Yang only felt that the piece of fish meat might only be useful if he ate it. ‘How am I supposed to eat this? It just dropped onto the floor, that’s so disgusting.’
While looking at the fish meat in front of him with disdain, Su Yang sat back down on the stool and started to wait patiently.
Soon, an interface with the fish meat’s characteristics popped up.
Su Yang did not look at the panel immediately. Instead, he prayed silently. ‘I pray that this is a special item that can transform me into a fish or allow me to breathe underwater!’
After praying, Su Yang quickly looked at the characteristics panel of the special item!
Whether or not he could complete the first round of the Platinum Mission without Janet’s help depended on this piece of fish.
[Not So Lonely Basa Fish... Meat]
When Su Yang saw the name of this special item, he felt that it was rather interesting. ‘The name of this special item actually has a “special symbol”?
‘This is unbelievable!’
He continued reading.
[Special Item: Not so Lonely Basa Fish... Meat]
Ability: As a fish that is unwilling to be alone, this piece of meat possesses the magical power to turn back into a fish. In order to never be alone, this fish will turn into a fish that is similar to the nearest fish and possess the talent to automatically gather such fish.
Restriction: You can only turn into one kind of fish in a week, the form can be maintained for a month.
Note 1: I am a lonely Basa fish, but after becoming a piece of fish meat, I am no longer alone.
Note 2: I really am not bait!
When Su Yang saw this ability, he only had one reaction. ‘Wow, now that I have this, why would I still need to develop some advanced technology company? I should just go and sell fish!
‘I’ll be the next King of the Seas, no, the tycoon of the fisheries! I could also build a gold fishery!’
Although he was joking, Su Yang thought about it carefully. ‘Although this special item is different from the two abilities that I expected, it actually seems to be more useful for the Platinum Mission.
‘Earlier, I was only thinking about obtaining the ability to move underwater to help Janet’s search, but I’ve actually forgotten that I don’t need to look for these sharks. I could have them look for me instead.’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang gave Little Deeny the [Not So Lonely Basa Fish... Meat] and got her to throw it out of the virtual space, where Janet would receive the special item from the other end.
After that, he asked Janet to throw the fish meat into a shark’s nest and turn it into a shark to attract the other sharks near Socot Island.
After everything was arranged, Su Yang finally began to make progress to complete his Platinum Mission.
Then, he did some calculations. ‘I’ve completed the two Silver Missions I have and the Gold Mission is also progressing steadily. So, there’s no need for me to especially make any arrangements, I can place all my focus to complete this Platinum Mission.
‘After all, I really am curious what the Platinum Point from this Platinum Mission can do!’
The next day, Su Yang was awakened by a system notification.
[There is only one day left before the special item, [Lucky Disfiguring Brick] can be used again.]
‘Tomorrow’s actually the lucky day?’
Su Yang was surprised.
He counted the days. ‘It really is true.’
He could not help but recall that Feng Yonghui would be attending the press conference today.
‘What a pity...
‘If only today’s the lucky day... The Fengs would die even more thoroughly.’
Su Yang sighed with emotion before getting out of bed and heading to the office to continue supervising the post-production work of “Wolf Warriors” post-production work. The production for “Wolf Warriors” was going to be completed in another two days.
...
For the past two days, Feng Yonghui had been feeling uneasy. Even though he had done many things, he still was not able to calm down. This made him suspect that something was wrong with his body.
However, he had gone for two examinations in the past two days. One was a trip to the regular hospital, while the other was a trip to a specialist to have run a diagnosis on him. Alas, there was still nothing wrong that could be diagnosed.
‘So, the possibility of Su Yang poisoning me is out of the question.
‘But, I can’t seem to shake the feeling that this matter isn’t as simple as it looks.’
On Tuesday, after Feng Yonghui finished his meeting, he returned to his office to rest. He rubbed his temples and felt that he was indeed a little exhausted from the past two days.
However, no matter how tired he was, he still had to work.
At 2pm, Feng Yonghui attended the press conference as planned.
He walked into the hall with a few related personnel and sat down on the stage.
As he looked at the reporters and the cameras that surrounded them, Feng Yonghui suddenly felt his heart race and the sense of foreboding intensified.
However, in this situation, he could not run away just because he felt uneasy, so he could only take a deep breath to suppress his anxiety.
Next to him was a big shot who was his direct subordinate, the person who helped Feng Yonghui man the fort. The big shot glanced at Feng Yonghui and asked softly, “Yonghui, are you alright?”
Feng Yonghui forced a smile on his thin face. The eyes behind his glasses flickered. “I’m fine.”
The big shot felt that something was not right, but he could not say anything in this situation except for being a little more attentive to what was happening.
Soon, the press conference began.
For this press conference, all the television stations had sent people to attend it, including Central Station. In fact, because the press conference was of a bigger scale, there were even a few foreign media stations.
Thus, the press conference began. Firstly, Feng Yonghui explained the plan for that year and briefly explained their new policy. Then, it was the reporters’ turn to ask their questions.
Even though he did not feel at ease, Feng Yonghui still maintained his composure. When the reporters were asking him questions, he answered them with ease and confidence. The big shot beside him gradually relaxed, feeling that he might have overthought the situation.
Everything was gradually proceeding as planned and the livestream was being broadcasted methodically. Feng Yonghui’s words were broadcasted live to thousands of families.
Very quickly, the next reporter asked, “Chief Feng, may I ask how this year’s policy will affect the future?”
This was a simple question. Feng Yonghui only needed to explain the reason for implementing this policy.
Everyone treated this as a pointless question. They even suspected that this reporter was placed there by the Fengs.
Just as everyone was ignoring the question, Feng Yonghui slowly said, “Actually, I’ve already answered questions about our policy many times now. I would now like to talk about other related questions.”
The big shot next to Feng Yonghui glanced at him and did not pay too much attention to him. He thought that he was just trying to talk about the policy from another perspective. Although the other reporters present were all focused, it was actually just a facade.
Then... they heard Feng Yonghui say, “Actually, I want to use this occasion to reflect on myself. The Fengs have committed quite a number of wrong things over the years and used a lot of underhanded methods, causing surmountable losses to the country. In the meantime, we’ve also betrayed the trust of the people.”
“Even though my father and I don’t have any assets under our name, my grandmother, mother, uncle and my siblings actually have quite a few companies under our name. I’m the head of the family, so I’m very well aware about this matter. Our family’s assets are around 16 billion yuan, give and take.
“For example, my grandmother’s shares in Xiangwen Group are worth about 600 million yuan. Another example, my cousin has a real estate development project in Lingnan and an electronics factory, both of these have a combined worth of over a billion yuan.
“Those are all relatively low in value. I have another example, when Kelan Group was privatized and listed, I asked my father for help and sold a large amount of shares to my family at a cheap price. Now, these shares are worth about eight billion yuan. On the other hand, Antong Group, because my father and I have provided them with many benefits over the years, we have also taken 20% of the shares through our family which are worth about five billion yuan.”
“Also, you’re all aware of the commotion by [In] Company. Its boss, Sun Hao, gave my cousin 50 million yuan worth of shares in the company in order to gain our support.”
“All of these matters were done by my father and me. All of the evidence is in my family’s safe, so the organization is free to open up an investigation to verify.”
“I feel ashamed of the trust this country and its people have placed in us. I feel...”
Feng Yonghui’s words were like bells ringing in the hearts of all the reporters, cameramen and big shots.
Initially, those people did not understand what Feng Yonghui was doing, but the more they listened, the more shocked they became. The more they listened, the more they thought they were going mad.
‘What did I just hear?
‘What’s Feng Yonghui saying?
‘Have I misheard?’
Their minds went blank.
There was only one thought in their minds. ‘Oh s*it, oh s*it, this is a huge f*ck up! This is a livestream!’!
The big shot sitting next to Feng Yonghui finally reacted. He stood up and slapped away the microphone in front of Feng Yonghui and roared, “You’re mad! This is a live broadcast across the country! Even the media from overseas are here! What are you trying to do?!”
After shouting at Feng Yonghui, he shouted at all the reporters and cameraman, “Turn it off! Turn it all off!”
The scene was chaotic.
However, Feng Yonghui did not mind. He stood up and bowed deeply to the camera. Behind his glasses, his eyes were shining brightly. He said righteously, “You have to admit to your mistakes. Our family has indeed erred for all these years. I apologize to the country and the people!”
After saying that, he bowed deeply!
This scene became the last scene that everyone in the country saw.
But that was no longer important... Because everyone in front of the television was so shocked that their minds had also gone blank.
