571 Tasks at hand
Sky’s press conference had brought back itself into the good light as Yunru and Sun Bai were proved innocent. Regarding Sun Bai, even though Lu Long was already deceased, the cops re-opened an investigation of his accident to record the truth and facts this time.
Sun Bai was slightly afraid and worried if the cops would really understand her situation, but Jun gave her positive reassurance. He also looked upon it that her sister wouldn’t face any trouble with her studies abroad after this news was out.
On the other side, the organizers of the Authors’ Summit joined hands with the cops to investigate the case of the corrupt judges from the beginning. Of which one judge was dead, which was now potentially considered a murder case now.
This would only tighten the rope around Zhan Yahui’s neck, who had schemed too many plans and buried too many truths.
Exposing the culprit behind Zixin’s accident was just as tricky as the case with the Summit’s judges, but Jun wasn’t someone to give up.
Everything was going well for Sky and unlike the past, where its doom had become one of the tragedies in Jun’s life, Sky managed to fly this time. From the shackles of the evil plans that threatened to bring it to its ruin, it was as if Sky had finally gotten its wings to break free.
It was a small moment of celebration for Jun as he kept track of Sky’s news post press conference. But the situation was far from resolved.
He kept his tab on the table and leaned back on his chair, his gaze squinting, thinking of the next steps he had to take.
Which were primarily two things.
First was to kick Zhan Yahui out of her CEO position from Shi Publishing. Power was a dangerous weapon in her hand. She was already a sly and cunning woman and for power and position to be at her side too was only a recipe for disaster.
Jun picked a file with the details of all the people in Shi Publishing’s board committee. Zhan Yahui had a majority of vote share in her favor that led her to become the CEO, so he only had to tilt that balance to the other side.
A calculative smile curved the corner of his lips as he felt all the cards were on his side. This time, he wasn’t helpless and at her mercy like the past.
I will take reins of my life this time and not play like someone’s puppet, his dark brown eyes shone with resolve.
*Meow*
The cat Ai-chan softly meowed at him, who was patting his legs with her paws.
Jun smiled and placed her on his lap. “Do you want to join me in the fun?”
With her light brown irises, she stared back at him and nodded a meow.
“Haha. You are the best.”
At the same time, Jun felt a heated and prickling gaze from his left side as if a certain someone was ready to bare his fangs at him.
Jun raised his brow at Jun-cute, who was royally sitting on a faraway couch but with all his attention on Ai-chan on Jun’s lap.
“You know, you can also join in. I have some extra space on my lap,” he chuckled.
*Meow!*
Jun-cute ferociously hissed at him.
How dare this human order me!? Do you think I am dying here to be on your lap? Don’t be so full of yourself, pesky human!
He stared at Ai-chan enjoying her time on Jun’s lap, which only irked him more.
*Meow!!*
“You seem to be in a bad mood.”
Jun-cute turned his head away in a huff.
As if I will be in a bad mood just because she is sitting on your lap!

He shrugged and went back to work. Ruffling Ai-chan under her chin, Jun dialed one of the shareholder’s numbers, Yao Guo. He was the main shareholder who spoke in Zhan Yahui’s favor and who helped to turn the tide in her favor.
“Mr. Yao. I hope you recognize who is speaking,” Jun smiled with a villainous glint in his eyes.
“M-Mr. Liu Jun!?” Yao Guo stammered on the other side in shock.
“Glad to know that you recognize me.”
“O-Of course, Mr. Liu…Who wouldn’t know about you…?”
“Well that makes things easier for me. Let’s have a little chat about Shi Publishing’s future, shall we?”
Jun further told Yao Guo what he had to do, but he came across a piece of information that took him by surprise.
“Is that so?” Jun tilted his head.
“Y-Yes! I am telling the truth. We k-know what we have to do…”
“I know. I can confirm it anytime,” he paused, inwardly thinking about this news for a few moments in silence.
In the end he smiled to himself, agreeing to this plan of action. “Alright then. I won’t interfere in your company’s power business then. I will leave it to them.”
He hung up and laughed, snuggling against Ai-chan. “This time, she is cornered from all sides, isn’t she?”
Ai-chan was pleased with his petting, so she happily purred and meowed her response.
*Thud*
Jun craned his neck and found one of the artificial vases fallen on the floor, more exactly the vase which was near the table where Jun-cute was seated.
“The extra place on my lap is still available, you know?”
Jun-cute shot him a deadly look.
Mind your own business, human!
He then glared at Ai-chan and turned his head away once again as if showing his protest, which didn’t have any effect on Ai-chan.
Jun helplessly sighed.
“He is so troublesome, isn’t he? I wonder who he takes after?”
Since part one of his tasks was already taken care of, Jun proceeded to focus on the second most important thing that had brought all of Zhan Yahui’s plans to fruition in the past.
His eyes once again glimmered with dark malice.
The traitor at Sky.
The snake who worked and laughed as part of Sky’s family on the outside but who bit his poison into their lives to kill everybody’s future.
Time to dig you out of your hole too, his clenched fist trembled.
Jun dialed another number and spoke after his call was picked up on the second ring, “I need your help, Chyou.”
