Chapter 1560 - 1559: Boss, Something Happened!

Umarov's body may be frail at the moment, but that doesn't mean he is easily bullied.

Umarov's personal strength is rather weak, yet he has the Shadow Luo Organization under his command. As the financial powerhouse behind the Shadow Luo Organization, Umarov wields even more influence than Adelaide!

If this move of mine pushes Umarov to the brink, he will undoubtedly act desperately and do something insane!

That's why Lu Yu doesn't want to show his face now; he just wants to take down Umarov in the dark!

"Understood, understood!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Abel spoke up.

Abel, having become the editor-in-chief of The Times, is naturally a smart person. He instantly grasped Lu Yu's intention and said, "Rest assured, I won't reveal a single word about Mr. Lu in this matter. This is something I discovered first!"

Abel sounded so earnest in his speech that it gave an impression of extreme humility.

Lu Yu gave him such a great opportunity, so now Abel is practically at Lu Yu's beck and call!

"Editor-in-chief Abel, you are a clever man, and your performance has greatly satisfied me."

Upon hearing Abel's words, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Now, I want to ask you, if I want to fan the flames and make the situation bigger, what should I do besides relying on The Times?"

Although Lu Yu is calculating and meticulous at every step, he's not omnipotent. He still needs to consult Abel about media manipulation.

"Very simple, Mr. Lu,"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Abel instantly got excited: "Besides The Times, you can invest in platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, where young people often pay attention, while also hiring some influencers to raise doubts."

In his words, Abel seemed like a master of creating public opinion, showing great expertise when talking about industry knowledge.

"Raise doubts?"

Upon hearing Abel's words, Lu Yu's mouth curled up slightly, saying in a calm tone, appearing very interested.

"Yes, in today's entertainment-dominated world, if you only crush one side, the public will quickly lose interest. You need to let both sides tug against each other to generate higher buzz and greater public pressure. The pressure will be overwhelming!"

Abel, with years of experience in the media industry, clearly understood how to stir up buzz. The moment he spoke, he already had a detailed plan.

"Editor-in-chief Abel, you are truly professional, it seems we've found the right person."

Upon hearing Abel's words, Lu Yu smiled slightly, raised his coffee, and said, "In that case, here's to a pleasant cooperation!"

In those words, Lu Yu's face was full of smiles, now with such an arrangement.

Umarov has no chance of coming back from this time!

"Happy cooperation!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Abel raised his coffee cup, smiling and said, "Rest assured, Mr. Lu, I'll go back shortly to write an article, and this matter will definitely be stirring by tomorrow morning!"

...

The next morning, in a high-end apartment in London City.

Umarov was quietly sitting in front of the table, enjoying breakfast serenely.

At first glance, he seemed just like a regular, kind uncle, amiable and spirited, without a trace of malice.

In front of him was a tablet, displaying numerous news categories, a dizzying array.

Umarov had the habit of reading news during breakfast, a habit he maintained for many years, unchanged to this day.

At this moment, looking at the news in front of him, Umarov's expression remained indifferent and composed.

Buzz!

Just as he was watching the news on the tablet, suddenly, the tablet emitted a clear notification sound, and a new news alert appeared right in front of Umarov.

Seeing the news alert, Umarov's eyes widened in shock.

Because just the headline of this news alert sent chills down his spine!

The headline of the alert was written in bold uppercase: SHOCKING, LONDON CITY'S THRILLING CORRUPTION SCANDAL, ENERGY COMPANY CAN COVER THE SKY!?

Seeing this headline, Umarov's heart skipped a beat, his face full of surprise.

Because the title of this news is directly about him!

The Crescent Group, with its deep roots in London City, controlling massive funds, and having connections all around, it's indeed fitting to describe it as covering the sky with one hand!

Seeing this, without any hesitation, Umarov clicked to see the whole story.

Clatter!

As Umarov was reading for a moment, his hand let go, and the ceramic spoon he was holding fell to the ground, shattering with a crisp sound.

Now, Umarov's eyes were wide open, stunned, barely able to believe his eyes!

The news reports were about a black ledger recording his dealings and connections in London City, and the content of the ledger was displayed as pictures in the news!

Seeing this, Umarov was completely shocked, with no idea that this could be the result!

How long has it been since his bet with Lu Yu, and now another piece of information exploded so soon!

This kind of thing is clearly someone trying to destroy him from behind!

Seeing this, rage surged within Umarov, his face turning crimson, extremely angry.

He recorded such a black ledger for the convenience of building connections later.

And precisely because of these records, Umarov could freely operate in London City and let the Crescent Group grow!

Initially, this black ledger was Umarov's tool for the Crescent Group's expansion.

But now, he never expected the tool to become a sword, cutting right back at him!

Umarov now truly felt a sense of despair!

BANG!

At this moment, the apartment door suddenly opened, and Hussein rushed in, saying, "Boss, something's happened!"
