Meanwhile, in Jinling City, inside a high-end hotel.

Lu Yu sat on the hotel's balcony, sipping coffee as he watched the images on the computer screen. A slight smile played on his lips, emanating an air of calm.

The screen displayed the view inside Zhou Fengming's office.

Every movement Zhou Fengming had made just now was observed by Lu Yu in great detail, like watching a drama where every detail was crystal clear.

Watching the video with Lu Yu was Marcus.

After watching the video, Marcus turned, looked at Lu Yu, and immediately said, "Sir, the other side is already starting to liquidate their real estate. Shouldn't we hand over the black ledger we have to the Jinling City's Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

Marcus's voice was deep, giving off an impressively profound feeling.

Zhou Fengming's use of benefits to grease relationships was all logged in his own black ledger. Once this is handed over to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Zhou Fengming's actions already constituted severe illegal behavior. Once the black ledger reaches the Commission for Discipline Inspection and is confirmed, his net assets would immediately be frozen, and Zhou Fengming would truly become a lone wolf!

That is why Marcus suggested to Lu Yu to hand the black ledger directly to the Commission for Discipline Inspection to freeze all of Zhou Fengming's assets.

"Marcus, your thinking is correct, but the method is not,"

Hearing Marcus's words, Lu Yu calmly said, "That's not how we should handle this."

With that, Lu Yu took a shallow sip of his coffee, an action that projected wisdom and maturity.

"That's not how we should handle it?"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Marcus was momentarily stunned, and then he said, "Sir, I do not understand. Please enlighten me."

Marcus's words, deep and respectful, conveyed a sense of utmost reverence.

Marcus was curious to know how Lu Yu planned to handle the matter at hand.

"Marcus, we are all on the same side; you don't need to be so formal,"

Hearing Marcus's words, Lu Yu smiled slightly and then said, "Your approach to handling this issue is generally correct. But have you considered that the Zhou Family has been entrenched in Jinling City for many years? They're deeply rooted. How can you be sure that Zhou Fengming has no acquaintances in Jinling City's Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

Lu Yu's words, deep and calm, exuded an unparalleled composure!

Upon hearing this, Marcus's expression faltered, quickly grasping the situation.

Indeed!

The Zhou Family has been entrenched in Jinling City for so many years, leveraging relationships up and down; how can one ensure that Zhou Fengming has no acquaintances in the Commission for Discipline Inspection!?

If Zhou Fengming indeed has acquaintances, then handing over the black ledger would not only miss the opportunity to deal a severe blow to Zhou Fengming but also expose one's true identity. Such an action would be highly inappropriate!

"Wise, sir!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Marcus said, filled with admiration. His words were imbued with a sense of awe: "In that case, sir, what should we do now?"

Marcus directly posed his question, eager to know how Lu Yu planned to handle this matter.

"It's quite simple,"

Upon hearing Marcus's words, Lu Yu smiled slightly and then said, "We don't need to step in; let public opinion handle it!"

With that, a faint, enigmatic smile appeared on Lu Yu's face, laden with deep meaning.

"Let public opinion handle it?"

Upon hearing these words, Marcus's body stiffened, and he immediately looked at Lu Yu and said, "Sir, are you suggesting we let the news media handle the black ledger!?"

In an instant, Marcus grasped Lu Yu's intentions.

"Smart!"

Lu Yu chuckled and said, "In this information-saturated age, public opinion is absolutely a bloodless weapon. If used well, it can kill invisibly!"

Lu Yu paused briefly and then continued, "These news media are always looking for a big story. If we toss this black ledger to a well-known media entity, their ability to create buzz could make it known worldwide overnight!"

"By then, we only need to sit back with a cup of tea and watch the show. The sheer pressure of public opinion would corner Zhou Fengming!"

In his words, Lu Yu's eyes sparkled with brilliance and calm, akin to a wise tactician, making calculated moves with precision.

With that said, Marcus quickly realized what was happening, looking at Lu Yu with a gaze full of awe.

Marcus had to admit, the depth of thought in front of this incredibly young high-ranking member of the Assassin Alliance, Lu Yu, was like an unfathomable abyss.

"Sir, shall we notify the media in Jinling City now?"

Thinking of this, Marcus snapped back to reality, looking at Lu Yu with a trace of inquiry in his voice.

"Why notify the media in Jinling City?"

Upon hearing Marcus's words, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Jinling City, after all, is an ancient city, and compared to an international metropolis like Lin'an City, the media here can't match Lin'an City's in terms of hype tactics or influence. Since we're relying on public opinion, we must rely on Lin'an City's media to blow this thing up!"

In his words, Lu Yu spoke softly, his mind already forming a perfect plan: "Notify our brothers to pack their things. In an hour, we'll head back to Lin'an City immediately!"

From the surveillance footage, Lu Yu learned that Zhou Fengming planned to auction Jinling City's real estate in Lin'an City, so Lu Yu also planned to do the same in Lin'an City!

By then, leveraging Lin'an City's status and influence as an international metropolis, this matter could become well-known overnight, and that public opinion's power could crush Zhou Fengming to dust in an instant!

"Understood, sir!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Marcus respectfully saluted and said, "I'll notify the brothers now to pack up and prepare to return to Lin'an City!"

"Very good!"

Upon Marcus's words, a smile spread across Lu Yu's face as he said, "This time, no matter how powerful Zhou Fengming is, I can strike him so that he can never recover!"
