nYu Yao’s reaction was the fastest and her comments were the sharpest. “Yu Wan is really manipulative. Your dear sister is pretty good at painting black things white.”

nYu Jue snorted with laughter. “Yaoyao, I didn’t know before that you could be so sarcastic?”

nYu Yao rolled her eyes. “Don’t push me to Yu Wan’s level. I’m not being sarcastic, okay?”

nYu Jue quickly apologized. “Third Brother was wrong. Yaoyao has always been straightforward and honest. She isn’t pretentious like Yu Wan.”

n“Hmm, that’s more like it.” Yu Yao nodded with satisfaction and let go of Yu Jue. She then turned to look at Yu Heng and Yu Lang. “What do you guys think?”

nYu Heng had already finished watching the recording of the livestream that Yu Lang had sent over. He said indifferently, “Yu Wan acted out a scene and successfully obtained the sympathy of the netizens. She also made the netizens leave a bad impression on everyone in our family. However, I don’t understand what benefits Yu Wan has gained by defaming the Yu family’s image. What benefits can she gain from this?”

nYu Lang nodded. “This is also what I think is strange. The public relations surveillance department told me that after Yu Wan started her livestream, there was a force on the internet that was promoting public opinion so it would rapidly develop in a direction that was not beneficial to the Yu family. Now, the only thing I can be sure of is that Yu Wan is not only trying to destroy the Yu family’s image, but more importantly, she can get something out of it.”

nYu Yao’s heart skipped a beat, and she seemed to have figured something out. She asked Yu Lang, “Have you analyzed the power behind the push for public opinion?”

nYu Lang nodded. “Yaoyao, that’s what I was about to tell you. The fermentation of public opinion this time was clearly driven by some organization. After the previous two storms of public sentiment, our public relations surveillance department is already very familiar with the workflow. They noticed the signs of the fermentation of public opinion immediately and started tracking…”

nHearing this, Yu Yao’s face revealed an expectant expression. “Brother, did you notice something? Could it be that the criminal organization has given themselves away?”

n“Coincidentally, we found that the account IDs that led the public’s opinion seem to be related to some online organizations that you wanted me to pay attention to…”

nYu Yao’s eyes lit up as she tapped her palm excitedly. “Then there’s no mistake. I’ve been monitoring all the online accounts of the mental hospital and Yu Wan. The information I gave you about the online organizations is related to them. As long as Yu Wan contacts them again, we can find some clues and trace them to the criminal organization!”

nHowever, Yu Lang poured cold water on her. “Yaoyao, don’t be so excited just yet. We still can’t be sure that the criminal organization is the one helping Yu Wan promote public opinion. After all, I can’t think of a reason for them to do this.”

nYu Jue frowned and made a guess. “Could it be just to help Yu Wan vent her anger?”

nYu Heng shook his head. “That shouldn’t be possible. Unless Yu Wan has a very high status in that criminal organization, then they can use the power of the internet to help her vent her anger. But from our observations, Yu Wan is clearly only at the bottom of the criminal network.”

nYu Lang nodded and concluded, saying, “So we can’t lower our guard for the time being. We still have to monitor all of Yu Wan’s online accounts closely. In addition, we still have to actively contact the police. Perhaps they have found more information.”

n“How troublesome. Yu Wan is still too useless. Even if she joins a criminal organization, she’s only a small fry. We can’t get any more information from her.”

nYu Yao pouted in disdain, but then she thought of something and asked worriedly, “Since we haven’t received any concrete information about that criminal organization from Yu Wan, we can’t do anything to her for now. Are we going to let this storm of public opinion against the Yu family run its course?”

nYu Lang sharply sensed Yu Yao’s concern for himself and the entire Yu family. Although Yu Yao always pretended that she was not interested in the Yu family and had a cold and distant attitude towards them, as time passed, Yu Yao unknowingly became a part of the Yu family and started to worry about the development of the family.

nHe and Yu Heng looked at each other, a tacit smile appearing in their eyes.

nYu Lang smiled and stroked Yu Yao’s head. “Don’t worry, Yaoyao. No matter what Yu Wan wants to do, I’ll be able to handle it.”

nYu Yao pouted and dodged the palm on her head. “I’m not worried. Stop overthinking things!”

nYu Heng also reached out to touch her head. “Yaoyao, you’re lying. You’re clearly very worried about us and the Yu family, right?”

nYu Yao blushed and slapped his arm away. “I already said that I don’t care about you guys. Why are you so shameless?”

nThe next moment, Yu Jue’s hand touched the top of her head as well. He rubbed it forcefully and said with a grin, “Yaoyao, you’re so cute when you talk tough but your heart is soft…”
