Wei Jisheng was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Mr. Lin, may I curiously ask, where does your confidence come from? Why are you so sure there isnât a bomb at the airport?"
Lin Fan replied, "Because I have great trust in our companyâs security system, and I also trust our people. This matter is simply the work of some bored individual, and I believe the police will figure it out soon."
Wei Jisheng said, "Mr. Lin, I admire your confidence, but if one overestimates their own abilities, theyâll eventually pay the price. I hope Mr. Lin understands this principle. My intentions are good; I fear you might regret it later. The police are still checking over there, and the airport will soon be turned upside down. Iâm afraid you donât have much time left."
Lin Fan replied, "Does Mr. Wei have anything else to say? If not, I have other matters to attend to, so Iâll be on my way. Goodbye."
After saying that, Lin Fan was about to leave with his secretary.
After taking a few steps, Lin Fan stopped and turned back, "Oh, Mr. Wei, as for todayâs matter, Iâll take it as your Wei Family formally declaring war on me. I formally respond, and we will meet on the battlefield."
Having said that, Lin Fan didnât look back again.
Wei Jisheng gritted his teeth in anger, "This guy is truly arrogant, excessively so, actually daring to dismiss my words!"
"Mr. Wei, Mortal Group has just released a statement."
The assistant next to Wei Jisheng said.
Wei Jisheng took the phone to have a look.
Sure enough, Mortal Group had issued a statement, which quickly made it to the trending topics.
The statement was mainly divided into three parts. The first part was an apology from Mortal Group to the public for the panic caused by the airport incident, which also delayed passengers. The second part conveyed Mortal Groupâs confidence in its security system; they do not believe a real bomb could slip into the airport, suggesting this incident might be a misunderstanding or a prank. The third part stated that Mortal Group would fully cooperate with the police investigation, hoping to provide a timely explanation to the public.
The statement instantly sparked widespread discussion.
Netizens started arguing; some thought Mortal Group was too confident, but others believed that their boldness demonstrated significant confidence, which in turn reassured the public.
Overall, Mortal Groupâs prompt response, positive attitude, and confidence reflected well on them, reducing the online criticism towards the group.
Simultaneously, Mortal Groupâs stock price saw a slight recovery.
No matter what, from the perspective of everyone at Celestial Aviation, this statement, as per the chairmanâs intent, was the correct move. Such decisiveness is why heâs the chairman.
Seeing the statement, Wei Jisheng, however, couldnât stop sneering.
"Lin Fan, you are way too arrogant, overconfident. Issuing such a statement is digging your own grave!"
If the airport doesnât find any bombs, itâs okay. But if they do, Lin Fanâs statement will backfire tenfold. The more confident Mortal Group is now, the harder theyâll be slapped in the face then!
Wei Jisheng couldnât help laughing out loud, "Lin Fan, oh Lin Fan, youâre bent on self-destruction; nothing can stop you!"
Lin Fan had refused to accommodate him or agree to his conditions, even issuing such a statement. Wei Jisheng felt he had no reason not to let Lin Fan suffer a bit; otherwise, how would he stomach this? Lin Fan brought this upon himself!
Wei Jisheng waved his hand, dismissing the people around him, and dialed a number: "Itâs time. Let the police find that thing!"
After the call.
Wei Jisheng put down his phone, looking at Yun City Music Academy below, took a puff of his cigar, and murmured, "Father, Lin Fan is no longer a problem. Yun City Music Academy will soon belong to the Wei Family. This time, I must do this well; I wonât let you down. This realm of the Wei Family will only belong to me, Wei Jisheng, in the future!"
Wei Tiansheng had three sons. According to typical practices, family business usually goes to the eldest sonâs direct descendant, but Wei Jishengâs two younger brothers were no pushovers, eyeing the throne waiting for an opportunity to replace him.
Especially the third brother, Wei Jiansheng, a cunning strategist, although seemingly unrelated to the family business as the president of Cherry Entertainment, one never knows what plans and plots he might be concocting!
So, this time, Wei Jisheng couldnât afford to lose. If Lin Fan was a roadblock, Wei Jisheng would kick it aside without hesitation.
After Mortal Groupâs statement, people became more eager to know the investigation results. Many netizens closely followed the developments, keeping tabs for the police announcement.
People at Celestial Aviation were naturally most anxious, each nerve stressed taut.
If the police really found a bomb at the airport, Celestial Aviation would be finished.
At this moment, the whole world seemed to be focusing on the Celestial Aviation incident.
In the investment community, countless investors speculated whether this time Celestial Aviationâs stock would collapse.
Affected by the bomb incident coupled with Mortal Groupâs statement, it seemed plausible.
"Celestial Aviation, one could say, is Mr. Linâs miracle creation; perhaps this is the moment for this myth to burst," an investment expert analyzed.
"Iâve said from the beginning, Celestial Aviation is just a bubble that canât withstand a single blow!" another investment expert remarked.
Meanwhile, given that Mortal Group is the largest billion-dollar group in Yun City, it naturally attracted attention from the top tiers.
"We donât want Mortal Group to collapse, as it would undoubtedly be a huge loss for Yun City!"
"However, if a bomb is indeed found at the airport, our law enforcement must handle it impartially. What awaits Mortal Group would be a temporary shutdown for rectification!"
The senior levels in Yun City made such directives.
"It seems Little Fan is truly in trouble this time. Unfortunately, I canât offer any help this time."
At the top office in Longheng Group Mansion, Feng Ruolan, the chairman, muttered as she watched the news.
Amidst the focus from all quarters.
At Celestial Aviation Airport, all entrances and exits had been cordoned off with police conducting a thorough search with full equipment.
Beep!
Suddenly, in one corner, a metal detector alarm went off.
"Captain Luo, there seems to be something here!" a police officer turned and said.
Leading the search was police officer Loli.
Loliâs expression changed; what she dreaded most happened. She was well aware that Celestial Aviation was her idol Lin Fanâs enterprise. Discovering a bomb in this incident could definitely hit her idol hard.
Could there really be a bomb?
Nervously, Loli approached the corner with bated anxiety.
Everyone looked.
Nothing there!
"Seems like a false alarm," the officer said.
Loli couldnât help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, outside the airport, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan parked at a distance.
The driver was secretary Zhao Jiayi, instructed by Lin Fan to drive there, though she wasnât clear on why the chairman planned it this way.
At this moment, Lin Fan looked at the airport, showing a slight smile.
