Chapter 539: Chapter 537: Ten Percent [Fourth Update]Lu Family.

    "This is infuriating, Qin Xunchang is completely distorting the truth! It’s none of his business, why is he so eager to meddle?!"

    Wu Qianmin stamped her foot in anger.

    "No, that’s not right." Liang Lan shook her head, a flash of contemplation in her eyes: "I’m afraid we’ve all been deceived. Behind this spicy strip scandal, it’s probably him."

    "Even if it’s not him, it’s definitely not the ’acquaintance’ he’s talking about."

    Su Luoxue continued, analyzing the situation.

    "So what do we do now? Confront him directly?!" Xiaobu’s temper was flaring up.

    "No, that won’t do! This matter has the nation’s attention, and every move of Young Master and him is under scrutiny. I reckon the moment we make a move, it’ll be exposed and then twisted against us," Liang Lan shook her head.

    "The key now is to find evidence of the connection between Qin Xunchang and the dubious spicy strip factory! As long as we find evidence, all his claims will crumble on their own!"

    Su Luoxue tentatively suggested after some thought.

    She was already getting the hang of the pace.

    "Why not check those stores? Now that the toxic spicy strips have collectively disappeared, it must have been a big move. There’s got to be some clue left behind," Wu Qianmin also tried to offer an idea.

    "It’s useless, he can come up with ten thousand reasons to explain the recall of the spicy strips. Without decisive evidence, there’s no way to tackle him, especially with that official inspection report still out there," Liang Lan shook her head.

    Everyone sighed in frustration. What were they supposed to do now?

    "Sister Lan, check that ten percent."

    Lu Xiaobu casually mentioned while holding his phone and reading a novel.

    "Ten percent?!"

    Liang Lan was startled, a bit slow to catch on.

    "Ten percent?"

    The three other women were even more puzzled.

    Not to mention Zhang Meng and Li Jin.

    "That’s right, that ten percent." Lu Hongbin walked over and said:

    "Remember what Qin Xunchang said at the press conference? A hundred percent no issues, not a single problematic one."

    "However, what was the conclusion during the official inspection? Ninety percent! This indicates that some people are not playing ball!"

    "When did you get so sharp, Xiaobu? I even thought I’d come to help you out," Lu Hongbin said, then looked at Lu Xiaobu with a smile.

    "Psh, you help me? Have you forgotten who is the master of romance?"

    Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow and teased.

    "Oh please, always studying that," Lu Hongbin chuckled and cursed.

    And at that moment, Liang Lan also caught on.

    Yes, that ten percent!

    If this slip-up was deliberately planned by Qin Xunchang, he wouldn’t need to create such a big discrepancy.

    After all, he’s currently seen as being on the ’righteous’ side. The more accurate his claims, the more it would demonstrate his professionalism and be favorable for his plan!

    But what happened?

    A ten percent margin of error surfaced!

    Money moves the heart!

    "I’ll go check it out right now!" Liang Lan immediately said.

    "Okay, Li Jin, accompany Sister Lan. Be adaptable and do what’s necessary when the time comes!"

    Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and arranged.

    "Yes, Young Master!"

    Li Jin accepted the order.

    The two left!

    Lu Xiaobu opened Weibo: "@QinXunchang, asshole, just you wait, whether or not you’re the real mastermind behind this, you’re definitely going to eat shit!"

    Qin Xunchang promptly replied on Weibo: "Please refrain from using such vulgar language! I advocate for food safety and have no intention of making enemies with anyone. If I have infringed upon your interests, I apologize, but I will never allow such things to happen!"

    The two’s online dispute, in such a public spotlight, was quickly reposted! Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    However, netizens had very different reactions to each of their Weibos.

    Lu Xiaobu’s Weibo.

    "Um, Young Master Bu, shouldn’t we be a bit more refined?"

    "Lu Xiaobu, you’re fooling everyone, and now you even dare to spout such madness?!"

    "Shameless wretch!"

    "Ahem, Young Master Bu, although I do believe you’re not that kind of person, why must you confront Qin Xunchang? He’s just doing his job!"

    "Yeah, Young Master Bu, I think you really did wrong this time! Everyone is just trying their best to address the food safety issue, why cause trouble!"

    ...

    There’s praise and criticism alike, belief and blame, and of course, cursing too!

    But under Qin Xunchang’s Weibo, it’s like this!

    "Well said!"

    "There’s no face-saving when it comes to food safety!"

    "It has to be this way!"

    "Truly deserving of being on the Second Level Rich List, he speaks with such substance!"

    "That’s right!"

    ...

    Such unwavering praise!

    Even the officials of the Rich List have given him a thumbs-up!

    Look at the contrast, the disparity!

    It’s just so!

    But!

    While things are this way online, in the real world, it’s the complete opposite!

    The Lu Xiaobu, who gets cursed online, is leisurely eating, reading novels, casually teasing the three ladies, and if he sees people cursing him, he casually throws back a couple of insults!

    Even when Liang Lan goes out and gets swamped by reporters, she curses right at them: "Scram!"

    All the reporters dare to be angry but dare not speak.

    Because it’s useless, their little tricks are nothing in front of Lu Xiaobu!

    Even if you curse him a bit, are there few who curse him?

    Does it make a difference?!

    No!

    ...

    However, Qin Xunchang, who is crazily praised and complimented online, is actually in his own home, panicking like mad!

    The ashtray is filled with cigarette butts!

    Lu Xiaobu has noticed that 10 percent, how could he possibly not have?

    "These disobedient bastards, they all deserve to die! You don’t listen to what I say! Ah! Should all be made to eat shit! Dammit!"

    Qin Xunchang roared in a low voice!

    He doesn’t even dare to speak loudly now.

    No choice, his villa is now surrounded by reporters carrying all sorts of long and short cameras, constantly wanting to dig up some news from him!

    Plus, the righteous image he’s created for himself means he can’t make any out-of-line moves!

    He doesn’t even dare to send someone to check who’s disobedient!

    Because too many forces are involved now, one misstep could lead to doom!

    All he can do now is to pray that Lu Xiaobu won’t notice these things!

    Yes, that’s right, Lu Xiaobu definitely won’t notice, because after all, Lu Xiaobu is just a wastrel waiting for his inheritance!

    That’s how Qin Xunchang consoled himself.

    ...

    This is the difference between him and Lu Xiaobu!

    Lu Xiaobu doesn’t need to pretend to be full of righteousness, so he can casually send people out, even Liang Lan dared to curse the reporters herself, telling them to piss off and stop following them around!

    But what about Qin Xunchang? He doesn’t even dare to fart loudly!

    ...

    Qin Xunchang keeps consoling himself.

    But obviously, his self-consolation is ineffective!

    That same day online, Liang Lan and Li Jin came back!

    They brought back a camera, two people with bruised noses and swollen faces, and a pile of documents!
