Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 849 - 544 I’m Not, I Didn’t_3

Andrei ordered his subordinates to keep a close eye on the internet public opinion; any adverse wind that blew their way had to be kicked back immediately!

Across the ocean, the night surged darkly.

Geng Yang picked up a cup of coffee in the room and closed several chat windows on his computer screen.

Although there was a slight mishap during Feng Yi’s parachute jump, everything remained within controllable limits.

A live stream?

Should any emergency arise, of course, there wouldn’t be a live signal—it was even impossible for those three youngsters in charge of streaming to reach the location in the first place.

Choosing that spot for the parachute jump was not without its preparations, which of course went beyond what was apparent on the surface.

Since Geng Yang had taken over this matter from Feng Yi, he had naturally laid out his schemes in advance.

But he didn’t expect Feng Yi’s landing to be so precise.

Originally, it didn’t matter who went there to live stream; capturing just a glimpse of the parachute in the sky would have been enough.

This time, they got a full face shot!

Online, as the live stream spread, reactions Geng Yang had anticipated began to emerge.

People who knew Andrei and were also aware of Feng Yi’s followers—

What?! Feng Yi got conned into the "suicide squad" by Andrei?!

Congratulations to the first batch of daredevils for gaining a new member!

Or rather— freēwēbηovel.c૦m

This is definitely Andrei’s manipulation!

Young man, easily impassioned

Andrei, what’s with you, not only laying traps for yourself but also leading youngsters astray?

People who believed they knew both Andrei and Geng Yang—

Andrei and Geng Yang, you two have been in cahoots for a long time, haven’t you? Planning to get rid of Feng Yi, Geng Yang aiming for a coup?!

Those who only knew Andrei—

Spouting insane ideas, making others risk their lives! Andrei has employed some despicable business tactics!!

...

Even though Andrei wanted to block external calls, some couldn’t be conveniently blocked all the time.

Take an old acquaintance, the investment tycoon Raymond, for instance.

"Hi Raymond, I hope your call isn’t about..."

"What a move! I’ve learned a lot!" Raymond admired.

Andrei yelled, "Go to hell!"

He threw the phone away.

The whole world knew that one of Andrei’s major death-defying feats included a high-altitude parachute jump from 30,000 meters, which left him battered.

He wasn’t one of those who risked their lives for money; he was a true big capital owner. With so many options at his disposal, why risk his own life?

So now, Feng Yi, with a fortune on par with Andrei’s, doing the same thing made those in the know inevitably link the two together.

Some high-ranking individual even gave Andrei a call: "Was it necessary to go this far?"

Andrei: I didn’t! I haven’t!

I’d never deny what I’ve done, but this bloody well wasn’t my doing!

"I bring a gift, and I get scolded?!" Andrei was indignant.

However, Andrei had tricked too many people in the past with his "gifts," and this time no one believed his explanation. Not to mention, whenever Andrei gave "gifts," he indeed harbored ill intentions.

A certain politician advised, "This is a time of unstable power, don’t stir up trouble now!"

Andrei: ???

What the hell does this have to do with me?!!

"He approached me on his own initiative, I merely mentioned it in passing, who knew he would act so swiftly!"

Feng Yi also stepped forward to explain, saying he had bought the equipment from Andrei on a whim.

But, few believed these superficial explanations.

The more it was like this, the more it smacked of conspiracy theories.

This time, Andrei couldn’t come up with an explanation and was at home frantically breathing oxygen, calling Feng Yi to demand compensation for emotional distress.

At that moment, a subordinate called with a tone heavy and complicated:

"Boss, there’s trouble. The Butterfly Project and United Assurance Bureau are now showing increased interest in our ongoing space exploration projects."

Andrei paused in his oxygen intake and asked, "Recently, besides that data source excavated for its alternative value, there hasn’t been anything else...right?"

While speaking, he took several more draughts of oxygen and asked again, "Was there any unusual activity during Feng Yi’s skydiving?"

The other side replied, "You instructed us to pay attention, so we utilized our own monitoring array. The person who skydived just stayed inside the cabin a bit longer than usual, then jumped straight down. We didn’t see any other anomalies."

Andrei’s expression was gloomy and unclear.

Thinking deeper.

Had the Ancestral Factory folks set a trap from the start?

However, setting everything else aside for now, what we had to face was the pressure coming from the Butterfly Project team and the United Assurance Bureau.

Andrei’s guess was right.

The Butterfly Project and top brass of the United Assurance Bureau, upon learning of data anomaly fluctuations during that period, immediately initiated an investigation.

The Ancestral Factory dealt in pharmaceuticals, and the skydiving equipment Feng Yi used was purchased from Andrei. It shouldn’t have much to do with this matter.

Thinking again of the data source Feng Yi discovered not long ago.

They were already paying close attention to several key projects under Andrei, and now they found out they’d suddenly deployed the monitoring array!

Feng Yi does a skydive, and you actually employed the core monitoring array filled with exclusive patents?!

If it had been Andrei himself skydiving, that would be understandable, or if Feng Yi’s side had paid a hefty fee, it could have been explained.

Moreover, they had already questioned the people from the Ancestral Factory, and Yue Gongyang made it clear: We did not actively pay for this service!

So, Andrei, what exactly did you do to deploy the core monitoring array at that time? What else might you be hiding?!

The Butterfly Project had once contacted his senior project manager, who personally visited.

They didn’t care about the disputes between Andrei and the Ancestral Factory management, nor did they care about whether the business competition was fair.

The manager spoke with a serious face and earnest gaze, "Andrei, this is no joke, tell me the truth, are you hiding any key technologies related to the Butterfly Project? Money can be negotiated!"

Andrei: ???

What in the world?

News of Feng Yi’s extreme skydiving spread from abroad to the domestic scene.

Team Leader Yuan looked through the activities of both Andrei and Feng Yi’s teams during that period.

He then reviewed the timing of the trio’s live-streaming video.

He inquired about the timing of the network fluctuations monitored by the Butterfly Project.

With his current rank, Team Leader Yuan had access to some information, and because of the way Feng Yi had submitted that report, their local high-level officials had even more up-to-date news related to the major upgrades of the Butterfly Project’s model.

After reviewing multiple documents, taking notes, and cross-checking analytics, he instructed his team:

"Investigate!"

"Investigate Andrei? But we’re not responsible for that side," the team member said, puzzled.

"Investigate the Ancestral Factory!"

When Yue Gongyang learned that Old Yuan had sent people to watch them, he was like, "..."

Old Yuan! You again!

What’s the matter with you, huh? Old Yuan?

Everyone else is focused on Andrei, why are you watching us?
