Chapter 127: No One Can Save Him!

The title of "Greatest Food God" fell to Chen Feng without a single objection. It was all a natural progression, as Chen Feng’s culinary skills had truly reached the pinnacle; no one could compare to him. However, compared to his victory, most eyes were focused on the major event about to unfold.

The Liu Group was finished!

No one doubted this. Liu Kaifeng’s incitement of poisoning was an ironclad fact, and now that Xiao Yu had exposed the video in public, almost anyone could predict what would happen next.

"Sister, you are truly incredible. How on earth did you get your hands on that video?" Sitting in Xiao Yu’s luxury car, Chen Feng still felt a deep sense of disbelief. This meant that Liu Kaifeng’s plan had been exposed under Xiao Yu’s very nose all along.

Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said slowly, "It’s actually nothing. Since I knew Liu Kaifeng would come after me, how could I not be prepared? In fact, ever since he left Jiangzhou, I have had people secretly tailing him. I knew exactly who he ate with and who he contacted during this time. Silly brother, do you think I would just sit idly by and wait for them to attack me? Do you think I wouldn't make any preparations at all?"

"That’s true!" Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh. Looking at Xiao Yu, he asked earnestly, "Then, sister, what should we do next?"

Xiao Yu looked at Chen Feng, a deep smile rippling across her face. "What do you mean, 'we'? Right now, we are going to beat a dog that has fallen into the water. The video we released at the 'Greatest Food God' competition has already impacted all the major media outlets. Once they heard the news, they swarmed like bees to honey. They will definitely come looking for us. Taking this opportunity, I want to drive the Liu Group into eternal damnation. Before I came, I had already made arrangements. We are about to hold a press conference, and I’ll need to trouble Master Xing as well!"

Coincidentally, three days ago, Liu Shihui and his son, Liu Kaifeng, were thinking about how to deal with Xiao Yu and had used the exact same phrase: "beating a dog in the water." Now, Xiao Yu was saying the same thing.

In just three days, everything had been turned upside down.

The wheel of karma turns, and retribution arrives swiftly!

At 10:00 PM, at the Qingxue Group headquarters, reporters from all major news outlets had gathered in the lobby. Xiao Yu, Chen Feng, and Master Xing stood on the podium.

Once all the reporters were present, Xiao Yu stepped up to the lectern, cleared her throat, and began slowly: "First, I would like to thank the members of the press for coming. I am Xiao Yu. The reason I brought you all here tonight is to address the food poisoning incident caused by inferior beef in our 'Explosive Peeing Beef Balls.' The cause of this incident was Liu Kaifeng, General Manager of the Liu Group, bribing Wang Zhi, Deputy General Manager of the Qingxue Group, to substitute our ingredients with inferior and toxic beef, which led to the quality issues. As of now, we possess sufficient evidence, and we will be suing the Liu Group to recover our losses and hold them legally accountable."

"Ms. Xiao Yu, where did you obtain this evidence?" a female reporter asked sharply. "Did you know in advance that the Liu Group was targeting you? Had you already anticipated their entire plan and decided to play along, letting the situation escalate to this point?"

Xiao Yu displayed no sign of panic; her expression remained calm and composed. She looked at the reporter with a relaxed smile. "My dear reporter, I had no idea the Liu Group was targeting me. Not long ago, our Qingxue Group had just signed a production agreement with them for the Beef Balls. How could we have known they would suddenly turn against us?"

Xiao Yu paused briefly before continuing: "As for where we got the evidence, I can tell you quite frankly that for the past three days, our internal team has been searching for clues. Our production line is under video surveillance, so finding traces was not particularly difficult. Furthermore, the other videos were found by the police in Wang Zhi's home. Because Wang feared Liu Kaifeng would not honor his end of the bargain, he recorded the videos in advance as leverage to threaten Liu. He never expected that this very video would expose the secret between them."

"That works too?" Chen Feng was completely stunned. By shifting all the blame onto Wang Zhi, even if Wang denied it, who would believe him? As long as Xiao Yu exerted a little influence, it would be impossible for Wang to deny it.

The reporter did not pursue the matter further. Several other reporters asked Chen Feng and Master Xing questions, which they fielded fluently. Master Xing knew nothing of the deeper plan, and Chen Feng naturally knew what should and should not be said.

His answers were simple: "I am only responsible for technical investment. I know nothing about the production side. I am heartbroken that this happened. I never imagined that for the sake of commercial competition, Liu Kaifeng would stoop so low."

At the scene, Xiao Yu produced another video: one of Liu Kaifeng arriving at her office with his two bodyguards to tell her that "the higher you jump, the faster you die." Although this video didn't reveal much information, Liu Kaifeng's arrogant and domineering demeanor incited public outrage.

The Liu Group was indeed too arrogant. Not only did they sabotage the Qingxue Group in the shadows, but they had also swaggered in to bully others. It was simply outrageous.

The press conference lasted a full hour. Xiao Yu presented numerous pieces of evidence, one after another, each striking the hearts of the Liu father and son like a sharp blade. One could imagine what a massive sensation this would cause across the nation the next day.

At the Liu Group, Liu Shihui felt as though all the strength had been drained from his body. From the moment he saw those two videos, he realized the group was in a major crisis. All the plans he had laid to deal with Xiao Yu had now become his own fatal noose.

The "Explosive Peeing Beef Balls" incident was now known nationwide; no one could suppress it, and it was fully exposed to the public. Before, Liu Shihui had been the one pushing the agenda, but now, the situation was completely beyond his control.

"What do I do? What do I do?" Countless thoughts flashed through Liu Shihui's mind, but he realized with horror that he had no idea how to deal with the impending crisis.

If Liu Shihui had been playing a game of shadows before, Xiao Yu was now using an overt strategy. She was telling him plainly: "I have your evidence, and I am going to destroy you. What can you do about it?" Even knowing this, he could find no way to respond.

He had blown the situation out of proportion. This double-edged sword hadn't hurt Xiao Yu; instead, it had become his own death warrant.

Creak!

The office door was pushed open suddenly. Liu Shihui sat up straight, but it was Tang Kaiwen who walked in. He hurried to Liu Shihui and said quickly, "Chairman Liu, Young Master Liu has been taken away by the police. Xiao Yu has returned to the site of the 'Greatest Food God' competition, and she went on to present the evidence. Chen Feng has won the title of Food God!"

Liu Shihui stood up and said slowly, "That woman’s methods are truly impressive. However, it won't be so easy for her to defeat our Liu Group just with this!"

He then added, "Gather all the company shareholders. I want to hold a shareholders' meeting immediately!"

"Understood!" Tang Kaiwen replied quickly. "I’ll handle that at once. But, Chairman, what about Young Master Liu?"

Liu Shihui shook his head slightly and continued, "There is nothing I can do for Liu Kaifeng now. The first priority is to save the company. As long as the company doesn't fall, everything else will be fine. As for Kaifeng, I will pull some strings and try my best to save his life!"

After waving Tang Kaiwen away, Liu Shihui took out his phone and dialed a number.

"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

Gritting his teeth, Liu Shihui dialed another number. Once again, the sweet voice of the operator came through: "I'm sorry..."

Cold sweat began to bead on Liu Shihui's forehead. His usual network of connections seemed to have vanished into thin air; not a single person would answer his calls.

"Damn it!" Liu Shihui clenched his fists, his eyes burning with rage. He understood why they weren't answering: the incident was too big, and these people were trying to distance themselves from him as quickly as possible.

In other words, no one could save Liu Kaifeng.
