“Thank you, Miss Lynwood.If there’s anything you need me for in the future, please let me know.I’ll be at your service.”
With that, the journalist trotted away.
“I don’t get why you’d let someone like him go,” Yelena said with disdain as she looked at his pathetic appearance.
“Do you think Alphascape isn’t monitoring me? Of course, they aren’t capable of stealing my information.However, what do you think they’ll think when the guy they sent left unharmed after our conversation?”
As simple-minded as Yelena was, even she understood the implications this time.
“I see.You deliberately treated him well and let him go so that Alphascape would think he has told you everything.They won’t let him off the hook when the time comes.” impressive, truly impressive.
Yelena’s eyes twinkled immediately.
“Elspeth, you’re really amazing! What’s it like to have a criminal mastermind as your best friend? It’s absolutely wonderful!”
Elspeth shrugged.
“That’s why I don’t need to deal with him personally.Alphascape will naturally send someone to take care of him.”
At that, Yelena rubbed her chin.
“However, won’t we lose our witness if someone from Alphascape goes after him?”
Elspeth smiled but said nothing.
The truth would’ve come to light by then.
Three days later…
“Miss Elspeth, according to our tracker, the journalist was suddenly killed in his own home in the middle of the night.”
Elspeth listened to Harper’s voice on the phone, her expression unchanged.She had expected the outcome, so she didn’t find it particularly surprising.
The journalist was doomed to die to begin with, for he knew too much.She had only sent someone to follow him, not to protect him.
“Did you find any evidence?”
“Nothing substantial, but we don’t need to find any.That’s because I know who did it.”
Harper’s voice carried a hint of relief.
“Who did it?” Elspeth asked, nodding.
“It was our organization.”
Elspeth was somewhat taken aback.
That was something she hadn’t expected.
“Yena made a small oversight.She didn’t realize Evil Wind Sect belongs to you.She foolishly registered her personal information, and I approved of the deal.”
Elspeth couldn’t help but feel grateful.
This turn of events should make it impossible for Yena to escape.
Subsequently, Elspeth had people spread all this information online.
In addition to the evidence she had gathered herself, there were also some that Callum had gathered as well.
Looking at the gruesome evidence, Elspeth couldn’t believe that this woman could do such disgusting things.
She had actually established a virus laboratory and was developing viruses! Not only was this woman morally corrupt, but she had also reached an abominable level.
Yena wasn’t easy to deal with, and the only way to ultimately tear the Alphascape Group apart was to leverage the power of public opinion.
The information immediately caused a huge uproar when it was spread online.
Due to the outbreak, everyone was forced to stay at home.
As such, there were even more people online at this moment than usual.
Everyone became restless when they learned that the main culprit behind their predicament was the Alphascape Group, and some even threatened to vandalize the company’s headquarters.
With that, the Alphascape Group’s stocks plummeted.
There was also a barrage of criticism online.
The top executives of the Alphascape Group were unaware of Yena’s schemes.
When they discovered that she had done such twisted things, they began to resign, switch jobs, and sell their stocks.
In no time, the Alphascape Group became the target of public criticism, and Yena became a universally despised rat.
The company became on the brink of collapse.
Despite being so careful and leaving no traces behind, Yena couldn’t understand how her secret was exposed and her evidence uncovered.
It had been blown out of proportion, and all her evidence was found.She became flustered, but she knew that the evidence wasn’t enough to truly bring her down.She still had an ace up her sleeve, and she also knew exactly who had leaked the evidence.
With that, she texted Elspeth.
‘Let’s talk: Elspeth saw that Yena couldn’t sit still anymore and had come to find her, but she had already lost patience for any discussion with her at this point.
‘I don’t think it’s necessary to talk anymore” she replied.
‘It’s necessary since this pandemic isn’t over yet”
Elspeth quirked a brow, suddenly having a bad feeling.
‘What do you mean? What are you up to again?’
‘Nothing much.The situation has already reached this point anyway.If you don’t want to talk, then all of Damoria will go down with you”
Elspeth thought it wasn’t just a threat, but the woman was actually capable of such madness.
Instantly, an idea struck Elspeth.
‘A mutated virus?”
‘Indeed, Elspeth, you’re annoyingly clever.That’s right, I have developed an even more powerful virus.
If you wish not to talk, I guarantee this virus will spread throughout Damoria tonight: Yena seemed somewhat unsatisfied and added, ‘One more thing.The chances of contracting the mutated virus are higher for those who have already been infected”
Was Yena using Yelena as a threat against her? Elspeth realized that she had been reckless, and she instantly turned grim.
‘What time?’
‘8.00PM tonight, Alphascape Group.Come alone”
At night, Elspeth showed up alone, as promised, outside the Alphascape Group building. It was already after work hours, so there were hardly any people inside. As she entered, the only person present seemed to be the security officer at the entrance.
The security guard, seeing her alone, curiously asked, “Miss, everyone in this building has already gone home from work. There are hardly any people inside now. Who are you here to see?”
With a smile, she replied, “I know. I’m here to see someone.”
Puzzled by her ambiguous answer, the security guard scratched his head in confusion. “Weird, but miss, you should leave quickly after you’re done. It’s not safe to be alone at night, especially for a young girl like you.”
Of course, she could protect herself, but since his concern was well-intentioned, she didn’t say much to him. She just smiled at him and walked inside.
Strangely enough, the place where Yena had asked her to meet this time was not the office but the rooftop of the company building.
