Chapter 260 Why bully the honest person!
"Song Yun! Do you know what you're saying?!"
Joshua Child pointed at Song Yun's nose, his eyes filled with rage.
With a relaxed face, Song Yun tapped the table and said indifferently, "What, can't understand human speech? Fine, let me put it more bluntly, your great days at ml are over!"
"How dare you do this!"
Joshua Child no longer resembled a successful businessman; his slicked-back hairdo had become disheveled due to his excessive movements, a few strands now hanging loose.
"Song Yun, I advise you to think carefully before you speak! If we all back out of the mall, do you think there will still be any foot traffic?!"
"I don't care; if there are no people, I'll just close the place. After all, as the richest man in Magic Capital, I can't spend all the money I've earned in this lifetime. But you ml stirring people up to threaten me—I'm going to fight you to the end! And it's not just this mall, in all of Magic Capital I doubt there's a store that would dare sell your goods!"
Song Yun's words were extremely arrogant. The expressions of everyone on the scene varied, but the audience in the livestream voiced their support. "This is how a tycoon should act! Facing trouble without fear, ready to take someone down even at a loss!"
"You, you, you! You're simply not a businessman!"
Joshua Child was now as angry as a raging lion.
It's all over! It's all over!
This decision of his would definitely cause ml to lose a huge amount of money every year! After all, Magic Capital is a new first-tier city representing the vast majority of trendy currents. Once there is not a single ml specialty store in Magic Capital, those second and third-tier cities would probably also slowly forget about ml.
"To those allied with ml, I give you the count of three to leave while you still can!"
Song Yun leisurely extended three fingers, watching one after another lower as the luxury brand executives sitting on Joshua Child's side could no longer hold back.
One, two, three; soon, more than half had left.
In his heart, Joshua Child cursed these despicable traitors! Wavering at such a critical moment!
In fact, he really did curse out loud. Joshua Child had lost his reasoning, he grabbed the microphone and shouted at the backs of those leaving: "You abandon me now, and one day someone will abandon you! Damn betrayers, only fit to be cast into hell after death to suffer endless torment!"
"Mr. Joshua Child, to demonstrate our sincerity, I've taken the liberty of pulling together some evidence of your illegal activities. Next, I will switch screens for everyone to witness a live shutdown of the stores!"
Song Yun cheerfully instructed someone to connect the computer for projection, then counted those luxury brand executives still not giving up despite being close to their 'Huang He', 132 in total—a not insignificant workload.
Indeed, these store owners more or less all had their small skeletons in the closet, which Song Yun effortlessly uncovered—a perfect opportunity for making an example!
So you thought I wouldn't dare to fight back? Then I'll just live broadcast the store closures, and let everyone see who can't bear the losses in the end!
The projection connection was complete, and on the other side were some enforcement officers dressed in their uniforms, now receiving a list on their phones. Each store was followed by a list of their illegal activities, with solid evidence.
With this, things were much easier. The officers split into three groups, and upon finding stores with violations, they immediately evacuated everyone and locked the doors with a seal.
Soon, calls made their way through different channels to the mobile phones of the executives on-site.
The press conference venue turned into a sea of ringing tones.
Each executive, after solemnly ending their calls, hurried away with a gloomy expression.
Damn it, we only joined you for the profit in the first place, and look at us now! Our brick-and-mortar stores have all been sealed off!
How much money will we lose each month!
They had gone from allies to people who couldn't wait to tear Joshua Child in half.
Joshua Child's face was ashen, fully aware that the game was up, his position within the family was certain to decline drastically. He had always moved forward on the basis of Hua Country; now, it was the same Hua Country that would be the reason for his family to abandon him—oh, the irony!
He slumped into the chair, unable to understand where he had gone wrong. Had the smooth sailing of earlier blinded his eyes, or was it the contempt after speaking carelessly at the reception?
Perhaps both!
The big screen displayed a video of the store being closed. Suddenly, a photo filled the entire screen. Although it was shut off after three seconds, everyone in the room saw it clearly! Explore more at M-V-L
What's happening!
The man in the picture was unquestionably Joshua Child, but the woman... why did she look so much like the wife of the military officer?
All the cameras of the journalists present were aimed at the military officer, keen to interview this man who was metaphorically wearing a green hat.
The military officer was also frozen on the spot, his mind a blank. What had he just seen?
Was that his wife?
He couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it either!
Yet reality was harsh. He clenched his fists, looking at his former friend on the stage, struggling to hold back from acting impulsively.
"John, I..."
The military officer pinched his thigh and growled in a low voice, "This is a public place! You represent the face of a country, Jenny! We'll talk about this at the consulate!"
The woman called Jenny was the mother in the Caucasian mother-daughter duo at the restaurant that day.
She pursed her lips and bowed her head, not daring to face the barrage of cameras.
"Sorry about the photo just now..." Song Yun paused with a smile, then continued, "This is a private matter of Joshua Child, so I won't discuss it in public. However, I have received some information that I hope to share with the military officer."
The military officer forced a small smile and gestured for Song Yun to continue.
"Military officer, you are a good man, and I believe that good people should not be bullied. Therefore, I don't want you to be kept in the dark any longer!"
"Your daughter, it seems, is not your biological child!"
"Wow!"
A wave of excitement rippled through the journalists below. This was too sensational!
Wasn't today supposed to be about commercial warfare? How did it suddenly involve so many matters related to the consulate!
If this got out, it would top the headlines and be all over social media in minutes!
"Mr. Song! There's an old saying in Hua Country, 'You can eat indiscriminately, but you mustn't speak recklessly.' What evidence do you have to prove that my daughter isn't my biological child!"
The military officer's eyes were like torches, staring intently at Song Yun.
Song Yun spread his hands and spoke indifferently, "That's easy, isn't it? Just do a paternity test. If not, ask the woman beside you; she'll tell you the answer."
The reason why Song Yun dared to be so brazen was because of the incident at the restaurant that day. If it got out that the consul's wife and daughter had publicly insulted Hua Country, it would become an international incident!
"Is what he saying true?"
Listening to her husband's words, Jenny knew that once the seed of doubt was planted in his heart, it would surely take root and grow. Once her husband returned to the consulate, he would certainly get a paternity test!
Better to confess than to be caught out in a lie...
