110: Ban Xingyao Media

"I never thought you'd be so good at foot massages. It doesn't really hurt anymore. It's actually quite comfortable."

Lin Yiyi's bright, sparkling eyes were fixed on Cao Lang's handsome profile as she spoke in a small voice.

She had seen many handsome guys.

She had also seen many talented scholars.

She had seen even more domineering CEOs.

But she had never seen someone like Cao Lang—a domineering CEO who was both handsome and talented, and could even give massages!

Lin Yiyi's fair, delicate foot was enveloped by Cao Lang's warm, large hands. His unique technique made her feel a tingling numbness, and she could sense the pain rapidly fading away.

In truth, her foot only had a slight redness and swelling, nothing serious at all!

Cao Lang had been a mischievous child himself, so he was very familiar with sprains and injuries. He could tell at a glance whether it was real or fake.

"Be more careful in the future. If your brother finds out, he'd be heartbroken."

Ever since she entered the room, Lin Yiyi had mentioned her brother the most. Cao Lang could naturally infer the character dynamics between the siblings.

A brother who was obsessed with doting on his little sister, and a tsundere loli sister.

"My brother called several times, and I didn't answer any of them. He's probably watching us through the camera right now."

Lin Yiyi pointed a small finger at the camera, reminding Cao Lang with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Oh? Really? So what?"

"My brother said that men and women should not have physical contact. He saw you touching my foot, so he definitely won't let you off easy. He might even throw you into the Huangpu River to feed the fish!"

Lin Yiyi knew her brother's temper very well. A mischievous impulse rose within her, and she wanted to scare Cao Lang.

Hah, Cao Lang's fiery temper couldn't stand being provoked.

It was you who invited me to your house to hang out. I came because I was giving you face.

When you fell earlier, I was the one who caught you. You didn't even say thank you, and now you're using your brother to pressure me.

Now you're talking about throwing me into the Huangpu River to feed the fish.

Cao Lang raised an eyebrow, then swept Lin Yiyi up into a domineering princess carry, holding her in his arms.

Ah~

Lin Yiyi was startled by Cao Lang's sudden action, her beautiful face turning pale with fright.

Only her brother had ever done something like this, and that was when they were both still young. Even her brother wouldn't carry her like this now.

"What are you doing? Put me down, quick~"

The petite loli in his arms protested incessantly, her small pink fists frantically pounding against Cao Lang's broad chest. However, it was neither painful nor itchy, like a spring breeze brushing against his face.

"Your brother wants to throw me into the Huangpu River to feed the fish. I can't die without knowing why."

Cao Lang's sturdy arms held Lin Yiyi tightly, firmly restraining her delicate body, leaving the little loli unable to move. He paid no attention to her noisy protests as he strode purposefully toward the sofa.

"Stop squirming. You need to rest quietly. I'm putting you on the sofa."

Hearing this, Lin Yiyi's small face flushed a deep, burning red.

She had been well-protected by her brother all her life and had always taken others' concern for granted. No one had ever dared to defy her wishes. Yet, Cao Lang's rough behavior gave her a different feeling in her heart.

After Cao Lang finished, he turned back and gave a slight smile to the camera, as if to say, "I'm taking good care of your sister."

"Alright, have the housekeeper apply an ice pack for an hour. It should be fine after that."

Cao Lang was 1.8 meters tall, while Lin Yiyi was only 1.59 meters and slender. Her thighs were about as thick as Cao Lang's arms. If she were to become Cao Lang's woman, it might be a one-step process.

With Cao Lang's current golden physique, how could Lin Yiyi possibly handle it?

Thinking of this, Cao Lang decided to leave.

He didn't want to get too involved with the Lins Group.

"You're not allowed to leave!"

Lin Yiyi's young lady temper flared up.

"I want you to keep me company and chat!"

However, Cao Lang ignored her. After taking off his Ice Black Tea-branded clothes, he had no intention of continuing to play along with this little loli.

"Cao Lang! How dare you disobey me? Do you believe I'll have my brother teach you a lesson?"

Truly spoiled rotten... Cao Lang paid no mind to this little episode and left directly... Meanwhile, Lin Zhengtian had witnessed this scene through the surveillance feed.

Ever since he was twelve years old, he had never held his sister like that... Yet this Cao Lang had just gone ahead and done it!

Unforgivable!

Who could imagine that his beloved sister, whom he doted on endlessly, had a stranger barging into their home, touching her feet and carrying her like a princess?

What difference was there between this and barging into his home and slapping him twice?

Lin Zhengtian's personality was also extremely domineering. He was always the one slapping others in the face; no one could slap his!

Even if Lin Yiyi had sprained her foot, Cao Lang's behavior was utterly despicable!

Could Cao Lang not know that men and women should maintain boundaries?

Massaging her like that was clearly because he was lusting after his sister's little feet!

Men understand men!

In short, Lin Zhengtian was furious!

He had already set his sights on Cao Lang, like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey!

He didn't care about Cao Lang's background. Even if the other party was the heir of some ancient Chinese family, he would still demand an explanation!

Qin Cheng was useless, drowning in lust every day, fierce on the outside but weak within. Lin Zhengtian had always looked down on him.

He couldn't even fight back when someone stole the female celebrity he fancied!

He was a disgrace to the top social circles of the Magic City!

Thinking of this, Lin Zhengtian made a mysterious phone call.

"Hello, this is Lin Zhengtian. Now, in my capacity as the sixth-largest shareholder of the Lin family, I order you to immediately suppress Xingyao Media's traffic! Make the popularity of the Internet Celebrities under Xingyao Media drop right away!"

"What? You still need to hold a meeting to discuss it? I think you've gotten too full of yourself! Do you know that when TikTok was in trouble, it was my Lin family who generously helped!"

"You have one hour. Start the relevant procedures immediately! I don't want to hear any other explanations. This is a business war! I won't disclose any relevant information!"

Using his status as a TikTok shareholder, Lin Zhengtian forcibly suppressed Xingyao Media's popularity!

Capital maneuvering was terrifying to behold!

Upon hearing this, Qin Cheng was secretly delighted.

Cao Lang, oh Cao Lang, you really had a path to heaven but chose not to walk it, and barged through the gates of hell instead!

I'm suppressing you in the entertainment industry, and Lin Zhengtian is suppressing you in the Internet Celebrity circle. Let's see how your Xingyao Media can keep operating!

Better switch to making adult content, hahaha... In the world of capital, it's really hard for newcomers without connections to get a piece of the pie!

Connections, relationships, and background—these are far more important than talent and money!

Lin Zhengtian was a major shareholder of TikTok and had every right to unconditionally suppress the popularity of an event!

This was why many people posted on TikTok with videos of great quality and high trending topics, but suddenly their views would plummet!

It was likely because they had touched the interests of capital and were stopped by some big shot.

Suppression without any reason!

You're not convinced?

What can you do even if you're not convinced?

I invested in TikTok. If you're not convinced, go post on another platform... You say no one watches on other platforms? What does that have to do with me?

Anyway, TikTok is mine!

If you have the ability, go develop a brand-new national-level short video app yourself!

Cao Lang was still unaware of all this, leisurely enjoying the scenery and flowers at the Tan Palace estate.
