Chapter 12382
Chapter 12382
It wasn't until he heard the explosive gossip about the Shenhou Group from Lü Bukui that he understood the whole story and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He certainly didn't think it was a coincidence.
Li Tianguo and the others were clearly trying to get him out of a predicament, and Lin Yi acknowledged their kindness.
Moreover, Lin Yi had already observed these people, especially Cao Luoshen, who was an old friend.
There was an unspoken understanding between them, even from a distance.
However, the crisis is not completely over.
Bi Yang had made it very clear before that if he wanted, this situation could be completely repeated.
Li Tianguo and his two companions can help out of a predicament once, but we can't rely on them every time.
If this hidden danger is not eliminated, we will have to be on tenterhooks every time we enter the track in the future.
Bi Yang must die!
Lin Yi sentenced him to death.
However, how to implement it is another question.
Although he was beaten to a pulp by Li Tianguo and his two companions, he was still the leader of the Shenhou Group. His status was undeniable, and he wasn't someone you could just kill at will.
Putting everything else aside, just figuring out how to infiltrate the Shenhou Group's base is a huge challenge.
Moreover, if this matter goes too far, it is very likely to be seen as a provocation by the Heavenly Palace, which will inevitably provoke the Heavenly Palace to take full action, and then things will be troublesome.
To solve Bi Yang, we must first solve one problem.
Separate him from the Heavenly Palace.
The other party is the highly valued leader of the Shenhou group, which would normally be unrealistic, but with the Judge Track incident, things are different.
Lin Yi quickly devised a plan.
The first step is to start with public opinion.
Lin Yi immediately summoned Lü Bukui and instructed him to quietly spread the truth behind the judge incident.
Owning a teahouse like Tianjia, which is a central hub for all kinds of news, big and small, makes it easy for them to create public opinion.
Moreover, the loopholes in the track involved provide fertile ground for conspiracy theories to flourish.
In less than half a day, the news had spread like wildfire throughout Tianjun, causing a great uproar in the city.
The initial version of the gossip involved three top-tier second-generation rich kids beating up the leader of the Shenhou group over a scheming woman. This was just gossip news that everyone enjoyed.
But now the leader of the Shenhou group has taken advantage of a loophole in the track, not only replacing someone who had already entered the final stage of the track, but also killing that person.
If this gets out, it will be a huge deal!
Some things, if you don't weigh them, they're only a few ounces; but if you do, they're a ton.
That's how it is right now.
It's an open secret that the major families control loopholes in the race track to seize the final rewards.
However, due to the Heavenly Palace's control over the Heavenly Prefecture, and the greedy behavior of the major families, it wasn't too bad. Most people could turn a blind eye and at most grumble in private.
But this time is different.
Bi Yang's blatant actions, especially the fact that he killed someone, clearly demonstrate his intention to completely eliminate any possibility of them ending the race, from the perspective of the general public.
Although big data shows that more than 80% of track finishers come from privileged backgrounds, ordinary people account for less than 20%.
But in the end, a sliver of possibility of a carp leaping over the dragon gate was still left.
This incident is tantamount to an open declaration that this last glimmer of possibility has been completely blocked!
There was at least a pie in the sky, even if it was just a drawing, people would still have something to look forward to. But now, they've taken away even that drawing.
This is forcing people to rebel!
The situation developed in a way that far exceeded everyone's expectations.
A day later, a wave of public opinion swept through the entire Tianjun County. With the help of some ambitious individuals, countless people began to file joint protests.
Two hundred thousand protesters gathered directly at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace!
Such a powerful backlash of public opinion forced even the high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Palace to take it seriously.
Tianjun is indeed the Tianjun family's territory; 99% of its core power is in the hands of this family.
But that doesn't mean we can completely abandon ordinary people.
Even in a game, paying players still need ordinary players to complement them, let alone the fresh blood absorbed and replenished by the Tianjun Family, which mainly comes from ordinary people.
If this crisis is not handled properly, it will directly shake the very foundation of Tianjun!
The Heavenly Palace immediately convened an emergency roundtable meeting.
The final conclusion was that the only way to quell the situation was to take action against Bi Yang!
In fact, even without public pressure, some people already disliked Bi Yang after the Judge's Track incident.
The Shenhou Group belongs to the Heavenly Palace, not to you, Bi Yang, alone.
All of Shenhou Group's research and development achievements are important assets of the entire Tiangong, especially these first-level achievements that can directly enter the final stage of the race. Even if Bi Yang is the leader of Shenhou Group, he must submit a report if he wants to use them.
This is a principle that must never be violated.
A bombshell piece of news then broke.
Bi Yang is in jail!
From the leader of the Shenhou group to a prisoner, the vicissitudes of life are truly lamentable.
However, while Bi Yang was shocked when he regained consciousness, he wasn't too panicked.
The atmosphere outside was tense, as if killing him was the only way to appease public anger, but he knew very well that those bigwigs in the Heavenly Palace would never actually kill him.
It's not that I believe in the integrity of those important figures.
But he still holds a crucial trump card.
He was the only one in the entire Shenhou group who knew that trump card loophole that replaced the final score on the track. Just for that reason alone, he was the most sought-after person in everyone's eyes.
Despite their righteous indignation, these bigwigs secretly treat him like royalty!
The current situation is just too turbulent; if someone were to actually take the lead, they would easily become the target of public criticism.
Therefore, Bi Yang remained firmly in control.
Despite being imprisoned, he still exuded the aura of the leader of the Shenhou Group, ordering the jailers around as if they were servants.
The prison guards were furious but dared not speak out.
They would have a thousand ways to make anyone wish they were dead, but they wouldn't dare use that on Bi Yang.
What if they actually manage to get out of here alive?
Bi Yang became even more unscrupulous.
When the news reached Li Tianguo and his two friends, these three top-tier second-generation rich kids came in and beat him up again. He had barely recovered a little when he was beaten to a pulp again.
"What's a prisoner so proud of?"
Li Tianguo and his two companions each spat and walked away.
The jailers immediately clapped and cheered.
Bi Yang wanted to cry but had no tears.
He's truly traumatized by the beating he got from those three.
There's no way around it; ordinary people don't dare to touch him, including powerful families who wouldn't dare to easily mess with him, given the significant implications he carries.
The problem is that Li Tianguo and his group of top second-generation rich kids are an exception.
As long as they don't exploit the loophole in the track and don't kill Bi Yang, no one will bring trouble against them. (End of Chapter)
