Although Qin Chuan now has some understanding of the Han family, he is still unable to access some private matters, unlike people like Wang Bailin.
Through Wang Bailin's narration, he finally understood Kong Nanchao's position within the Han family, and was then shocked.
He hadn't expected that Han Guangyao would have such a special person by his side. According to Wang Bailin, Kong Nanchao was Han Guangyao's true confidant, holding a higher status than Liu An.
Han Guangyao had always been suspicious and autocratic throughout his life. Even his three sons needed to obtain permission to enter his Ziling Manor, but Kong Nanchao did not.
Kong Nanchao was a very special existence in the Han family. He could enter and exit any place, so if Kong Nanchao were to be the scapegoat, it would be entirely plausible.
"If that's the case, then won't the photos we have be greatly weakened in their impact, completely failing to serve their original purpose?"
Upon learning that Han Guangyao might find Kong Nanchao to be his scapegoat, allowing him to continue enjoying his freedom unscathed, everyone else in the room frowned tightly, their expressions grim.
"The primary objective of our Avenger's Alliance operation this time is Han Guangyao. If we can't bring him down with this opportunity, then what's the point?"
Someone stated directly.
"That's not entirely true."
Qin Chuan stared directly at the man who was undermining morale, his pitch-black eyes incredibly sharp and captivating.
"Kong Nanchao is Han Guangyao's most loyal subordinate, holding a pivotal position in the entire Han family and privy to many, many secrets."
"If Han Guangyao truly uses him as a scapegoat, that would still be a significant success for us, because it would be equivalent to us breaking one of Han Guangyao's arms, causing him great loss."
"Furthermore..."
Qin Chuan paused here, his eyes becoming incredibly deep.
"There aren't many fools in this world. Everyone has their own sense of right and wrong."
"Do you really think Han Guangyao would be safe and sound by making Kong Nanchao his scapegoat?"
"None of his three sons are idiots. How could they so easily believe everything in such a major affair?"
"They should have a good understanding of Kong Nanchao over the years and would never easily believe Han Guangyao's kind of manipulative tactic."
"Once that scandal is exposed, it will inevitably plant a seed of division between them, and the Han family will have much to talk about from then on!"
Qin Chuan's voice was not loud, but it was steady and powerful, his words clear, reaching everyone's ears, causing many who had felt fearful due to Han Guangyao's counterattack to gradually quiet down.
As mentioned earlier, there aren't many fools in this world. After calming down, everyone gradually grasped the intent behind Qin Chuan's words, and their eyes began to shine brighter.
So what if Han Guangyao truly found a scapegoat? The Han family and the outside world are not foolish; everyone knows deep down who the protagonist of the scandal truly is.
No matter how favored Kong Nanchao was, he was still a servant of the Han family. How dare he harbor ambitions towards the daughters-in-law of the Han family, and two of them at that? This was sheer audacity.
Therefore, who the mastermind behind this was, was self-evident...
Even if the Han family could weather this public opinion storm this time, they would likely never have a peaceful day in the future. The scandal of those photos would become the sharpest knife between Han Guangyao and his sons, constantly exerting its influence.
Any man with a spine would likely not be able to tolerate being cuckolded, let alone influential figures like Han Zongshu and Han Zongyi, who were already well-known.
If they did not react to this matter, they would become a laughingstock in the industry, unable to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.
This was the true power of those photos after they were released. Although there was regret that Han Guangyao couldn't be immediately brought down, the butterfly effect produced by their release was endless.
"Boss Qin, if you say so, we should hurry and release the final photos!"
"Yes, they must be released quickly!"
"Since he dares to attack us, Han Guangyao, then don't blame us for retaliating with even more ruthless tactics!"
The crowd was incensed, gritting their teeth.
Having chosen to join the Avenger's Alliance, they had already mustered the courage for a decisive battle with the Han family. The panic they felt earlier was momentary; now, after calming down, they were filled with renewed passion.
Everyone was eager to see how chaotic the Han family would become after those photos were released.
"The photos will certainly be released, but we cannot let that delay the progress of other matters," Qin Chuan said.
"These past few days, I've asked everyone to try and contact those women who were harmed by Han Guangyao, and their families. How did it go? Is there anyone willing to come forward and accuse Han Guangyao of his criminal acts?"
Upon hearing Qin Chuan's question, the excitement and fervor that had just risen within them subsided again, and everyone drooped their heads dejectedly.
"Boss Qin, we followed your instructions and tried to contact the victims and their families."
A middle-aged man spoke. His name was Wu Zhigang, and he was a somewhat well-known figure who ran a coking plant with assets worth millions.
"However, ever since that incident occurred, these women have been staying at home, or hiding, making them very difficult to find."
"Our people, after much effort and thought, managed to contact one or two. As soon as they heard about having to accuse Han Guangyao of his crimes, they immediately got scared and kicked our people out!"
"The relatives had similar reactions... In short, up to now, not a single person has dared to accuse Han Guangyao of his criminal acts."
"Everyone fears retaliation from the Han family!"
Qin Chuan sighed softly upon hearing this. This situation was actually within his expectations.
The Han family's influence was too vast. All victims feared retaliation from the Han family. Faced with a significant threat to their lives, over ninety percent of people would choose to endure in silence.
"No rush, let's take our time. I believe that out of ten people, there will always be one or two with enough spirit to stand up and accuse Han Guangyao of his wicked deeds."
Everyone nodded. This matter truly could not be rushed; it required slow and steady contact.
"Then when will we release the final photos?"
Dan Xiongjin asked.
This question hit upon everyone's point of concern. All eyes were fixed on Qin Chuan, who held the role of special advisor, colloquially known as "strategist," in this Avenger's Alliance operation.
"I'll call Manager Lin and ask him. He's in charge of those small printing factories!"
Qin Chuan thought for a moment and replied.
After speaking, he took out his phone and called Lin Xiang directly. Lin Xiang was not present that evening. Xishan Coal Industry had been deliberately suppressed by the Han family, and Lin Xiang had returned to handle internal company matters.
When the call connected, Lin Xiang learned that they were going to expose the final photos and agreed without hesitation, his tone extremely fierce.
Xishan Coal Industry had been specially targeted by the Han family. They had been struggling all day and had accumulated a lot of anger. Qin Chuan's suggestion was exactly what he needed.
The next day, early in the morning, the millions of citizens in Longcheng were utterly shocked by the contents of a color newspaper.
The content was sensational and transcended ethics, sweeping through the streets and alleys like a hurricane, becoming a topic of much discussion among everyone.
