Chapter 251: How sly
Li Xiyan knew that Lanni was dead serious about her threat so she acted faster than expected. Within a day, someone stepped out to turn himself in. He admitted to having murdered the detective.
He also proved that he had framed Xia Luna for his own crime and blackmailed her into deleting the evidence that would have proven her innocence, and pleading guilty.
Naturally, the court had to investigate the credibility of his words. It took one week and once Luna was proven innocent, she was released from prison.
On Wednesday morning, Jiang Xingyu went to pick her up along with Madam Jiang and Li Yuming. Meanwhile, Lanni stayed with Lin Jian and Xiehan, plotting the next step so they would strike at the best timing.
Lanni glanced at the news article that had been published right after Luna was proven innocent.
"Tsk, such insanity." Lanni shoved the newspaper at Lin Jian who was playing with his phone. "Oracle Daily, a magazine under Lin Media Group, published such a piece of news and you didn’t know it beforehand? What kind of CEO are you, does Lin Media Group even need you?"
Lin Jian managed to catch the newspaper before it fell over the table and put his phone aside to respond to the uncalled for scolding. "I’m the most competent CEO, okay? The most talented CEO that Lin Media Group has ever had—and of course, my gossipy nature comes in handy."
Lanni rolled her eyes at him.
"I knew this piece of news was going to be published. It was submitted by one of the best reporters of Oracle Daily so how would I not know?"
Lanni raised an eyebrow. "And you didn’t stop it or at least tell us about it?"
"No one asked me. Naturally, I couldn’t just start blabbering on my own, right?" Lin Jian ran a hand through his hair.
