"I also don't think you're that kind of person,"

Mr. Song, the animal park director, paced back and forth in his office, hands clasped behind his back, and said with suspicion, "This hormone scandal came too suddenly. I always feel like there's someone scheming behind this. Now all the blame is being pointed at you. Have you offended someone recently?"

It must be said that Mr. Song, despite his age, had been through many trials and his senses were still sharp. Suming didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "Someone wants to screw me over."

"What a bastard!" Mr. Song was furious, slamming his hand on the desk. He definitely wasn't calling Suming a bastard. Now Suming was being groomed by Mr. Song as his successor, the park's future hope. To target Suming was to target the park, to disrupt Suming's life was to cut off the park's future.

Moreover, the park was already being dragged into this: Shuijun Lake was the property of the park, and if something really was amiss with the lake, the park surely wouldn't escape blame. At this critical juncture of restructuring, if it turns out that the lake was stocked with hormone-fed fish, that would be troublesome.

"Don't worry, leader, there won't be any problems. I may like money, but I haven't stooped low enough to earn the kind that weighs on my conscience," Suming reassured him before the corner of his mouth turned up with a cold smile, "It's time to put an end to this matter. Some people are just like flies, buzzing around incessantly, truly bothersome."

Hearing Suming's intense tone, Mr. Song tensed up and said seriously, "Su, don't do anything foolish. You can't be committing crimes!"

"Rest assured, leader, I'm a law-abiding citizen, and a Party member at that. How could I commit a crime!" Suming said. Experience new stories on empire

The day of the inspection at Shuijun Lake finally arrived. Early in the morning, before the gates of the animal park had even opened, the entrance was already swarming with people. Journalists from all over had arrived early, and the scene was comparable to a press conference.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Unexpectedly, the park's security blocked the gate, preventing entry, and a conflict arose between the inspection team and the park's security. Mr. Dong, the head of security, had ordered all eight of the security guards on duty to form a line at the gate like guardian deities; stomachs protruding, chests puffed out, security belts tightly fastened, and electric batons in hand, they blocked the gate, refusing entry.

The presenter, Yang Meng, timely spoke into the camera, "Dear viewers, this is Yang Meng, reporting live from the scene. The inspection team's attempt to enter Shuijun Lake is being met with barbaric obstruction by the animal park's security. According to the information we've received, Suming, the leaseholder of Shuijun Lake, has gone from a university graduate who couldn't even find a job to the park's second-in-command, with a net worth of millions. He can even order the park's security to resist the inspection team. This certainly raises suspicions and makes one wonder whether there could be deeper, darker secrets involved. Let's wait and see!"

Her report clearly violated the principle of objectivity, heavily laced with subjective speculation and expressed with strong personal emotions. If a regular person made such comments, it wouldn't be an issue, but for a presenter to say this in front of a live camera was highly improper.

However, at this point, nobody was paying attention to that. In any industry, the victor is hailed as a hero, and the vanquished is condemned as a villain. If it turns out that Shuijun Lake is contaminated with hormones, Yang Meng's comments would be seen as righteous, and she might even be hailed as the 'conscience of the journalism industry.'

"It's too late to show fear now!" Zhou Jin, impatient, waved his hand and said to Mr. Dong, "Where's Suming? Have him come to see me."

Old Dong crossed his arms and looked at Zhou Jin expressionlessly. After a while, he uttered one sentence, "Buy a ticket to enter the park."

Zhou Jin never expected Old Dong to say such a thing and was taken aback, "What are you talking about! The inspection team is here to inspect Shuijun Lake, tell these guards to stand aside! Otherwise..."

At that moment, Suming strolled out of the park, each hand holding a large wolfhound half as tall as a man, followed by a towering young giant, looking every bit the part of a domineering landlord.

"Or what?" Suming's voice was even louder than Zhou Jin's, nearly shouting in his face, "I'm asking you, who gave you the authority to inspect? Do you represent the police, or the courts?"

With that comment, Zhou Jin was momentarily at a loss for words. Indeed, while he was the vice-chairman of the Fisheries Association, the association was not an enforcement agency and, in theory, had no right to forcibly inspect the properties of other entities!

Yang Meng opportunistically passed the microphone and asked in a bizarre tone, "Mr. Su, your refusal to let the inspection go through, does that imply that Shuijun Lake harbors secrets not fit for the public eye?"

Suming rolled his eyes, "Are you saying anyone can just hop into bed with their superiors willy-nilly?"

Questioned like this on live television, Yang Meng's face went white with anger, "Don't slander people!"

Suming shrugged his shoulders, "Oh, so it's not like that. Does that mean, because you don't let your superiors in, there's a 'secret not fit for the public eye' on your bed?" Suming specifically emphasized the phrase 'secret not fit for the public eye', returning the distasteful comment back to Yang Meng.

After speaking, he turned to the camera and said calmly, "I support hormone inspection, but there are laws governing the country and rules governing the home. Ordinary people buy tickets to enter the animal park, and so must the inspection team. Mr. Dong, keep a tight watch here. If anyone tries to force their way in without a ticket, call the police immediately!"

With that said, he walked back into the park with the two dogs at a leisurely pace.

The notion that everyone has to buy a ticket to enter resonated with many, a thought countless people have but cannot express. And the previous confrontation with Yang Meng about the bed was particularly provocative and risqué. It instantly raised Suming's standing among the viewers, casting him in the light of a straightforward, principled young man. It became difficult for a time to associate him with unscrupulous breeders.

With Zhou Jin blocked at the entrance and considering the hassle of seeking government assistance at that time, he eventually bought a ticket and entered the park honestly.

"What a twist!" Zhao Yun sat in front of the TV and chuckled to himself, no wonder online platforms are so popular now—the excitement of live broadcasts, with unexpected developments at any turn.

There were many viewers who shared Zhao Yun's thoughts, and perhaps even more exciting events were yet to unfold.
