Married by Accident: The Rich CEO's Deeply Rooted Pampering Tactics

Chapter 229: Spewing blood

Hearing Bai Ge say this, Qiao Luo quickly pulled her aside and whispered, "Bai Ge, this is my decision, it has nothing to do with you, don't take it personally."

Bai Ge replied softly, "How can it not be related? This was a decision we made together, how can I let you bear it alone?"

After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and find Editor-in-Chief Tang, but Qiao Luo stopped her.

"Bai Ge, listen to me. I have my own plans for this. Listen to me."

"But……"

"No buts, that's it."

After Qiao Luo finished speaking, she turned around and walked up to Editor-in-Chief Tang. "Editor-in-Chief Tang, I will take full responsibility for this matter."

Editor-in-Chief Tang stared at her for two seconds before speaking:

“I’m not here to hold you accountable; I just want to know why things turned out this way.”

When Editor-in-Chief Tang asked this question, Qiao Luo was about to speak, but Lin Mei spoke first.

"What else could it be, Editor-in-Chief Tang? Haven't you seen it clearly yet? These two are in cahoots; they must have secretly leaked this information."

Lin Mei seized the opportunity to frame him.

Bai Ge was furious and was about to retort when Qiao Luo stopped her.

"Editor Lin, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Do you have any evidence?"

she asked rhetorically.

Lin Mei said, "Only a few of us know about this. Editor-in-Chief Tang and I have been together the whole time and haven't left each other's sight. But you two have known about it since yesterday noon. Who knows how many people you've been in contact with during that time? Who can guarantee that you haven't let it slip?"

Qiao Luo calmly retorted, "Editor Lin, your argument doesn't hold water. Even if you let it slip yesterday, it should have been published yesterday. Why wait until today to publish it? Do you think the other party is stupid?"

"Who knows? Maybe you're working together from the inside."

"You!" Bai Ge finally couldn't take it anymore. "You're spouting nonsense!"

"Then you should prove your innocence," Lin Mei sneered.

Bai Ge was about to retort when Qiao Luo stopped her.

Lin Mei is no longer their boss, arguing with her would only be a waste of breath.

Moreover, if they continue arguing along Lin Mei's lines of thought, they will only get trapped in a vicious cycle of self-justification and be unable to escape.

This, in turn, falls into Lin Mei's trap.

After all, it's always the case that whoever raises the question has to provide evidence; why should the party being questioned be expected to prove it themselves?

Therefore, it's not worth it no matter what.

Bai Ge didn't understand at first, but she quickly grasped Qiao Luo's meaning and stopped arguing.

At this moment, Qiao Luo turned to Editor-in-Chief Tang and said, "Editor-in-Chief Tang, I can assure you that this information was definitely not leaked from our side."

"How did other media outlets find out?"

Editor-in-Chief Tang pressed for details.

Qiao Luo shook her head, "I don't know either, but I'm sure of one thing: this matter is definitely not as simple as just fighting for an exclusive."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Editor-in-Chief Tang was puzzled.

Qiao Luo: "I'm not happy with Editor-in-Chief Tang. I felt something was off about this before, so I paid special attention and deliberately skewed the article towards cybersecurity to avoid any bias in the information. But look at this report. The whole thing criticizes TL's achievements, and even its reputation in the tech world is being attacked. They say it was deliberately hyped up by some irresponsible media and that it's not what it seems. It's completely different from our focus."

The Tang Emperor naturally noticed this as well, as the two reports did indeed have different focuses.

"But that doesn't prove anything," said Editor-in-Chief Tang.

"Exactly! Couldn't we have found another way after receiving the information?"

Lin Mei echoed this sentiment.

Qiao Luo: "Even if you want to find another way, you don't have to be so targeted. We in the media all know that whether it's reporting or writing articles, you have to stand on an objective perspective and not force your own opinions and emotions into it. But this article can only show the author's personal opinions and emotions throughout, and there is no objective analysis at all. It is more like an industry manifesto than a news article."

"A manifesto?" Editor-in-Chief Tang asked in surprise.
