Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

"Wei Qing, give me the list that Xinyu got." Xiao Yuan gave me the list of customers who bought that perfume.

I looked at the names above and instantly had the answer.

"Do you know who it is?" Xu Jing asked.

"Yes!" I said with a wry smile.

"Who is it?" Xiao Yuan asked curiously.

"Bao Guoqiang from Yami Group!" I replied coldly.

"No wonder he has been so active recently. It turns out he can't wait to beat Fu Sheng Liuji to death!" Xiao Yuan sneered.

"What do you need us to do?" Xu Jing looked at me and asked.

"Bao Guoqiang's father-in-law is Wang Zhe of Xujia Real Estate, his grandfather is Cao Yeming of Yeming Property, and his father is Bao Fujian. He is not easy to take down!" Xiao Yuan said.

"Back then, I was just an unknown soldier, but I dared to challenge your father, a real estate tycoon. Do you think I'm afraid of these old foxes now?" I raised the corners of my mouth confidently.

"So you have a solution?" Xiao Yuan asked tentatively.

"No! But I get excited at the thought of dealing with these old foxes! In ancient times, monarchs insisted on having a legitimate reason to send troops, but they just came right to my door!" I couldn't help laughing.

The internet is still full of negative reviews about Fu Sheng Liu Ji. I accidentally came across an interview video of the family members taking their child out of the hospital on the night the victim was declared dead. I felt something was wrong with the child that flashed by, and after watching it several times, I finally found the reason!

Li Zhanwen watched me replay the video and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything wrong with this video?"

"Do you think a decorator would buy expensive clothes for his children?"

"Renovation workers are probably looking for good, affordable, and practical things, so they probably have no interest in luxury goods!"

"Look, this is the video of the deceased's wife taking the child out of the hospital for an interview that night. The shoes on the child's feet must be worth 70,000 or 80,000 yuan! I have seen the deceased's family situation. They are poor. How could they buy such expensive shoes for their child? And these shoes don't look like old shoes!" I showed the tablet to Li Zhanwen.

"No! This hat! Let me think about it." Li Zhanwen closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

"What's wrong with the hat?" I asked anxiously.

"This hat is a birthday gift that Mrs. Hou made for her son! I met Mrs. Hou at the hotel entrance at the cocktail party last month. Her bag was broken in the elevator and her things fell out. I helped her pick them up. At that time, I picked up a hat and looked at it, and said that it was a beautiful hat. She excitedly told me that this was the work of a famous Italian designer, and she made it specifically for her son! A unique hat!" Li Zhanwen answered excitedly.

"Are you sure it's this hat?" I also became excited.

"This is it! I remember it very clearly! Because the design of the badge on the front attracted me, I studied it for a while! Look, this is it!" Li Zhanwen enlarged the video and pointed it to me.

"Is she Mrs. Hou from Xinglong Group?"

"Yes!" Li Zhanwen was very sure.

I sneered, "So they've been planning to deal with us for a long time!"

"They? Who else?" Li Zhanwen was confused.

"When you went to a family member's home one time, you had some perfume on you. I smelled it on Xiao Yuan the day before yesterday. I checked the list and found that Bao Guoqiang from Yami Group also has the same perfume! And this perfume is only sold in France. Only two people in the entire Hegang have bought it: Zhao Xinyu and Bao Guoqiang! Zhao Xinyu said that the fragrance of this perfume is very long-lasting!"

"So before I went to find the deceased's wife that day, Bao Guoqiang had already contacted her before me! That's why I got this perfume on my body! I also remembered that when I went downstairs to the deceased's house, a Rolls-Royce had just left! Bao Guoqiang's car is a Rolls-Royce! Therefore, the phone call that caused the deceased's wife to change her attitude drastically was made by Bao Guoqiang! He may have seen us going upstairs!" Li Zhanwen suddenly realized.

"We didn't offend them, yet they acted so ruthlessly. Don't blame us for being ruthless!"

"Xinglong Group and Yami Group are framing us?" Li Zhanwen couldn't believe it.

"We're not sure they were responsible for the poisoning, but what we do know is that they want Fu Sheng Liu Ji to disappear! Fu Sheng Liu Ji has been a rising star in recent months, taking over their market share. They'll definitely seize this opportunity and ruthlessly push Fu Sheng Liu Ji into the mud, preventing us from recovering!"

"But even if we know that they are secretly supporting the family members to discredit us, we can't do anything about them. After all, we were really at fault first! And it's a living life!" Li Zhanwen was very distressed.

"Since they can use the Internet to cyberbully us, we will give them a taste of their own medicine! Since they want to win the sympathy of the public, we will let them bear the backlash of public opinion!" I said with a smile.

The news that the family had transformed themselves online from tenants in a dilapidated apartment into owners of a luxury residential complex immediately topped social media trends, sparking outrage among many netizens, most notably Fu Sheng Liu Ji. They understood that Fu Sheng Liu Ji had manipulated the trending search to discredit the family and whitewash itself. Extreme netizens even smashed the door of the now-closed Fu Sheng Liu Ji store and entered to vandalize and vent their anger, sending Fu Sheng Liu Ji's reputation plummeting.

News of the deceased's wife's rise from poverty to wealth spread. Some even happened to spot her shopping in luxury stores, and a beauty salon employee claimed she had become a VIP and frequently went there for beauty treatments. As these reports surfaced, more and more people began to question how the deceased's wife could have gotten over her husband's death so quickly and still live such a luxurious life. Some netizens even created comparison charts comparing the deceased's life before and after her husband's death, leading to growing suspicions that she was fabricating the story.

As the matter gradually escalated, more and more relatives of the deceased spoke out, saying that the deceased and his wife did not have a good relationship before his death. The deceased and his wife were fifteen years apart in age. The deceased was originally a contractor with some savings, and his wife married him because of his savings. After marriage, the deceased's wife was lazy and refused to work even though she was able-bodied. She used the excuse of taking care of the children as an excuse to stay idle at home. She didn't know how to cook or do any housework, and whenever relatives visited her home, it was a mess! The deceased originally had a good living condition, but his wife loved gambling and squandered all his savings, leaving him in debt. The most abominable thing was that she was unwilling to work. The family's expenses were all supported by the deceased working three jobs.

A person claiming to be a coworker of the deceased also revealed that one of his jobs came with a NT$50 daily lunch allowance, but he saved up the money just to eat at Fu Sheng Liu Ji because they were having a promotion where diners could enter a drawing for football match tickets. Football tickets were hard to come by, so he saved up money to go to Fu Sheng Liu Ji for his son. They actually could have bought tickets for their son, but his wife overslept and missed the deadline to grab them!

At first, everyone was skeptical of these revelations, accusing them of being heartless and bullying a widow and orphan. However, after these whistleblowers provided evidence such as photos and IOUs, those who supported the deceased's wife lost their arrogance.

Furthermore, reports continued to surface about the deceased's wife's extravagant lifestyle: designer clothes, luxury cars, and even transferring their son to a high-end private school. Support for her dwindled. Later, Bao Guoqiang was filmed repeatedly entering the deceased's wife's new home, and it was revealed that the hat worn by the family's son came from the Hou family of Xinglong Group. More and more people realized that the family was being manipulated and that they were being used as pawns.

Later, some turned against the deceased's wife and the company that supported her. Official accounts of companies that donated were flooded with negative comments, and related stores and products were boycotted. Netizens who had previously donated to the deceased's wife demanded a refund, and her social media accounts were heavily reported. No matter how they explained, they were powerless, and they tasted the bitterness of online backlash.
