There is a fake demigod in the East Palace

One month later, the whole country ushered in the shopping festival with the largest discounts of the year as scheduled.

This year, Lingjing Media has made a lot of friends with the help of Ye Zhaoling.Now that they have the blessing of the royal family background, they no longer compete with their peers in the live broadcast room for the one-acre three-point land, but ingeniously used the influence of the royal family to organize a charity-themed evening party, and successfully embarked on the road of transformation and upgrading.

This evening took into account multiple functions such as charity, selling goods, entertainment, and publicity, and it seemed to have become a highly anticipated event on the day of the festival.At that time, not only celebrities and celebrities from all walks of life will be seated, but it is rumored that even Ye Zhaoling himself will be there in person.

Ye Zhaoling was indeed allowed to leave the palace on the day of the shopping festival, but he did not show up at the party.All the focus was on the Royal Stadium that night, and a light was quietly turned on in an office building in the city center.

This is Ye Zhaoling's office, and it has been vacant since he entered the palace.The summer in the imperial capital is humid and rainy, and the rooms that have not been used for a long time will inevitably have a musty smell.

Ye Zhaoling leaned against the window, outside the window was the neon lights of the city that he had seen countless times.With his back to Wang Peiyi, he lit a cigarette in his hand.

Ye Zhaoling does not smoke, this cigarette was thrown to him by Wang Peiyi not long ago.

The windows of high-rise buildings can only be opened with a small slit wider than the palm of your hand. Ye Zhaoling inserted a lit cigarette into the groove outside the window, and watched the curling green smoke drifting into the night sky with the wind without saying a word.

After a cigarette was burned out, Ye Zhaoling closed the window, turned to look at Wang Peiyi, and said, "You said that 86 students of Qizhi School were killed in this fire."

"Yes." Wang Peiyi said. There was only one chandelier lit in the office. She ignored the no-smoking regulations and sat on the sofa, puffing a cloud, with most of her face hidden in the smoke.

Ye Zhaoling then asked, "Is Shanshan one of them?"

Wang Peiyi raised his head and exhaled a smoke ring, and said lightly, "Yes."

Ye Zhaoling remembered what Rong Zheng said to him that day: "The teacher said that she has transferred to an ordinary school."

Wang Peiyi laughed mockingly, and asked, "Do you believe it?"

From Ye Zhaoling's angle, he could just see the little piece of black hair that had grown on Principal Wang's head.I haven't seen her for more than two months, and the temporarily dyed black hair has long since faded, revealing the background color of bleaching and dyeing.Today she didn't wear the old-fashioned professional suit, and two slender thighs were exposed under the long sweater, and the tattoos on her legs were even more colorful.

Ye Zhaoling looked away from Principal Wang, and turned to the documents scattered on the coffee table.A newspaper from two months ago was mixed in. Ye Zhaoling folded his arms and read the words in the newspaper indifferently: "A fire broke out in Qizhi School in the early morning. Fortunately, there were no casualties..."

These documents were all brought by President Wang. In addition to this newspaper, there are also the purchase list during the construction of the school dormitory building, the actual results of the first fire inspection and acceptance, the initial investigation report of the fire, photos of the accident scene, and the school A compensation plan negotiated with the parents of the students who died.

According to the information brought by President Wang, the cause of the accident was indeed the illegal use of electrical appliances by the parents who came to visit the students, but the deeper reason was that the fire protection rating of the building materials did not meet the standard. When the fire broke out, the fire spread rapidly and was difficult to control. , resulting in the death of 86 students.

This newspaper is alone among groups of shocking data, telling lies on its own.

Wang Peiyi's heart was far less calm than it seemed on the surface. After a cigarette, she calmed herself down from the nervousness.Wang Peiyi took a deep breath, and said, "Gong Ziming is responsible for all the charity school projects invested by Kaiyang Group." After finishing speaking, she reached out to pick out the construction material procurement list and placed it in front of Ye Zhaoling: "He This is not the first time he has done such a thing in the construction of the school in order to gain personal gain, using building materials that do not meet the fire rating standards, and the problem of cutting corners is common in sunshine school projects across the country."

Unexpectedly, an accident happened this time.After the accident, in order to avoid responsibility, Gong Ziming made up all kinds of lies and successfully covered up the incident.

Ye Zhaoling looked at the astronomical figures on the list and asked: "In the early stage of the construction of the living quarters, you knew that the building materials were tricky."

Wang Peiyi was silent for a moment, then calmly replied: "Yes."

Ye Zhaoling nodded and didn't ask any more questions.Wang Peiyi is just the principal of a branch school. After graduating from university, her family entrusted her with some connections to let her parachute to Qizhi School.Even if she already knew the twists and turns, a girl in her early twenties couldn't change anything.

Water was boiling in the kettle on the small bar, and today all colleagues from the company were sent to the party, not even a coffee-making assistant was left behind.

Ye Zhaoling came to the small bar, turned his back to Wang Peiyi, and said, "With the rapid development of information dissemination, with Gong Ziming's ability, it is impossible to conceal such a big accident."

Wang Peiyi turned to look at Ye Zhaoling, and asked sharply: "What if Gong Ziming is not the only one involved in this matter? What if it's not just the school or the Kaiyang Group that is involved?"

Principal Wang didn't explain what she said, but she pointed her finger at the royal family sharply.Kaiyang Pharmaceutical Group is one of the most important industries of the royal family, occupying 15% of the domestic market share, and one of its core drugs is almost monopolized in the global market.

The royal family is in charge of this industry is Dasinong Wenbin. As the Queen's confidant, Wenbin has rooted in the royal family for many years, and he has single-handedly supported many senior officials in the government.It was easy for him to cover it up.

Ye Zhaoling has seen the character of this Master Wen.

There is also Rong Zheng, Kaiyao Pharmaceutical Group was first founded by the late emperor. Although Rong Zheng did not directly participate in the management of the group, he inherited the last wish of the late emperor. Over the years, he has given many green lights to the Sunshine School project. What role does it play in this.

"They turned charity into a business..." These few questions made Wang Peiyi's emotional management completely ineffective, and he could no longer maintain his performance with ease.

She lowered her head and clenched her fists: "How dare they, how can they..."

The Sunshine School project is not just charity. It not only establishes a good image for Kaiyang Group and even Wen Bin himself among the public, but also has the functions of avoiding taxes, transferring assets, and applying for preferential policies from the state.The foundation under its name receives a large amount of donations from all walks of life every year.

The 86 lives disappeared without anyone noticing. Neither Gong Ziming nor the Kaiyang Group could do it. The only possibility is that the royal family intervened.

During this period, Ye Zhaoling remained silent.Wang Peiyi started tearing off the dead skin on his lips nervously, and didn't stop until he tasted a faint smell of blood in his mouth.

She looked down at the blush on her fingertips, and muttered to herself: "I anonymously sent these materials to the court, the police, and the procuratorate, and they all went down the drain. I tried to attract attention on the Internet, but I couldn't do it at all. Speak up. The royal family's control over this country is far more profound than I imagined..."

There was a burst of cheers from the office on which floor, and a group of astonishing numbers jumped out on the billboard of the opposite building as if it was Chinese New Year.Today's online and offline sales of various shopping platforms broke last year's record early, and the whole city is immersed in the carnival of mid-year discounts.

Ye Zhaoling stood in front of the bar, waiting patiently for the water to boil.He poured a cup of hot water and came to Principal Wang: "Why did you think of coming to me?"

"I'm at a loss, Master Ye." Hearing Ye Zhaoling's question, Principal Wang grabbed Ye Zhaoling's wrist and looked at him with wide eyes: "I don't know who else to turn to except you. I know it's not something I can do." meddling, but I don't want to watch my children die tragically..."

Ye Zhaoling was not affected by Principal Wang's emotions, which made him look a little heartless.

"What do you want me to do?" Ye Zhaoling looked directly into Wang Peiyi's eyes, without evasive eyes.

Wang Peiyi understood Ye Zhaoling's attitude from his eyes, and she slowly let go of her hand, holding on to the last hope: "I want to beg you, use your influence to speak out, and let the truth come to light."

"I'm sorry, Principal Wang, I'm going to disappoint you." Ye Zhaoling put the water glass in front of Wang Peiyi, and then stood up straight: "First of all, the foundation of the royal family cannot be shaken by you or me."

Ye Zhaoling's reply was exactly as Principal Wang expected. Ever since she entered the door, Ye Zhaoling's performance was very indifferent.

"You have to understand that I am the prince's spouse, and the interests of the royal family and I are the same." Ye Zhaoling returned to the window sill, facing the ever-rising numbers on the opposite billboard, the words in his mouth were more ruthless than the night outside the window : "Besides, I'm just a businessman. Before making any decisions, the first thing to consider is my own interests. For me, this matter is harmful but not beneficial."

Still unwilling to give up, Wang Peiyi asked, "In that case, why did you agree to meet me today?"

Ye Zhaoling replied very lightly: "Just pretend that I am a little curious about the cause of Shanshan's death."

Wang Peiyi lowered his head and sneered, the last light in his eyes finally slowly extinguished.She knew that she shouldn't have pinned her hopes on such a person in the first place, but at school that day, Wang Peiyi witnessed his performance when facing Shanshan, which made her have unrealistic fantasies about this person.

"It's getting late, I'll ask my junior brother to take you back." Ye Zhaoling glanced at the time on the phone screen, and dialed Chi Ye's number.While waiting for the call to be connected, he looked at Wang Peiyi and said, "Principal Wang, I respect your character and your courage. I will not mention this to anyone."

There is nothing new under the sun, and there is as much darkness as there is light in this world.Ye Zhao has been active for hundreds of years, and has witnessed countless human tragedies that are hundreds of times crueler than this, many of which were written by him.

Maybe the long time will really make people numb, Ye Zhaoling thought.He admitted that he liked the little girl Shanshan very much, and felt very sorry for her death.But this cheap emotion is not enough for him to take this muddy water at this time.

He looked at his own reflection on the window, thinking to himself that he was not a good person in his life, let alone a hero.

Chi Ye has always been efficient in handling affairs, but within 10 minutes, the car to take Principal Wang back stopped downstairs.Ye Zhaoling was inconvenient to take Wang Peiyi out, so he sent her to the door of the office.

"Before I came, I knew that these words would embarrass you."

The two stopped in front of Ye Zhaoling's office. Before leaving, Wang Peiyi finally said to Ye Zhaoling: "I have one last request. I hope you can come with me to see someone tomorrow. If you still haven't changed your mind by then, I will never appear in front of you again."
