Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 753: Wang Jianʼs New Strategy

Wang Jian sat on the plush couch in the penthouse suite, the skyline of California sprawling out behind him as the sun dipped below the horizon. He drummed his fingers on his knee, his mind racing with thoughts about the next move against Langston Industries. He needed to escalate things-take the fight to a more personal level.

Charlotte and Sarah were seated on the other side of the room, their expressions serious as they waited for Wang Jian to speak. He finally broke the silence, looking up at them with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

”Alright, listen up,” Wang Jian began, his voice calm yet intense. ”We need to change our approach. Weʼve been attacking their business, but itʼs time to hit them where it really hurts -right in their home. Weʼre going after David and his family.”

Charlotte raised an eyebrow, intrigued. ”Youʼre talking about something more direct, arenʼt you? Not just their business operations.”

Wang Jian nodded, leaning forward. ”Exactly. I want to shake them up so badly that they lose all sense of stability. If we can put David and his family under enough pressure, itʼll trickle down to the company and affect their ability to fight back.”

Sarah frowned slightly, tilting her head as she considered his words. ”What do you have in mind? It sounds risky.”

Wang Jian smiled, the corners of his mouth curling up as the wickedness of his plan began to take form. ”It is risky, but itʼs going to be worth it. Hereʼs the plan: weʼre going to spread misinformation about the Langston family-rumors that will create tension, mistrust, and fear. Weʼll leak fake documents that show internal family feuds, claims of embezzlement, and dirty dealings.”

Charlotte leaned back in her chair, crossing her legs. ”So basically, weʼre going to create chaos in their personal lives and make sure the media gets a hold of it. Thatʼll cause a scandal.”

”Exactly,” Wang Jian replied, his eyes narrowing. ”We need the media and their business partners to think thereʼs a real problem within the family. Once they start doubting each other, itʼll reflect in their work, and Langston Industries will crumble from the inside.”

Sarah looked thoughtful, tapping her finger on her chin. ”And what about Davidʼs father and grandfather? Theyʼre still propping him up. We need to find a way to weaken their support.”

Wang Jianʼs smile widened. ”Oh, Iʼve got that covered too. Weʼre going to dig up dirt on both of them. Iʼm sure theyʼve got skeletons in their closets-everyone does. With the right information, we can blackmail them or make their lives so uncomfortable that theyʼll be too busy dealing with their own problems to help David.”

Charlotteʼs eyes sparkled with excitement. ”This is getting interesting. So, whoʼs going to do the digging?”

Wang Jian glanced at Sarah. ”Your company, Blake Robotics, has the resources for surveillance and data collection, right? I want you to set up a team to gather everything you can on the Langston family. Meanwhile, Charlotte, you and I will handle the misinformation campaign. Weʼll create fake documents, emails, and even set up some anonymous tips to the media.”

Sarah grinned, her competitive spirit flaring up. ”Consider it done. Iʼll put my best people on it. If thereʼs any dirt on those old men, weʼll find it.”

Charlotte chuckled, shaking her head. ”This is going to be one hell of a show. David wonʼt know what hit him.”

The next few days were spent putting the plan into action. Sarahʼs team worked tirelessly, digging through financial records, monitoring the Langston familyʼs social media activity, and even hacking into their email accounts. It didnʼt take long for them to uncover some interesting details-payments to offshore accounts, suspicious dealings with certain politicians, and even a few personal secrets that could prove damaging if exposed.

Sarah sat across from Wang Jian in the suite, a laptop open between them. ”Look at this,” she said, pointing to a string of emails between Richard Langston and an unnamed contact. ”These payments are definitely shady. If we make it public, itʼll look like heʼs been laundering money.”

Wang Jian smirked, nodding. ”Perfect. Letʼs draft a few fake documents to make it look even worse-like heʼs been siphoning company funds for personal use. Thatʼll get people talking.”

Charlotte, who was sitting nearby, glanced over at them. ”What about Davidʼs grandfather, Harold? Did we find anything on him?”

Sarah grinned, her eyes glinting mischievously. ”Oh, we did. Turns out heʼs been involved in some questionable real estate deals-properties bought under false names to avoid taxes. We can easily turn this into a scandal if we leak it to the right people.”

Wang Jian laughed, his voice filled with satisfaction. ”This is exactly what we need. Letʼs spread the word. I want these rumors to be on every news outlet and gossip site by tomorrow.”

The following day, chaos erupted in the Langston household. David sat in his office, staring at his phone in disbelief as messages poured in. Headlines flashed across the screen: ”Langston Family Scandal: Embezzlement and Tax Evasion Allegations Surface!” and ”Internal Feuds Threaten Stability of Langston Industries!”

Davidʼs father, Richard, stormed into the office, his face flushed with anger. ”What the hell is going on, David? Have you seen the news? Theyʼre saying weʼre stealing from the company!”

David looked up, his expression frantic. ”I donʼt know how this happened, Dad! Someone must be setting us up!”

Richard slammed his fist on the desk, his frustration evident. ”Setting us up? You think? This is exactly what we were trying to avoid! Now, weʼve got the media, our investors, and even our employees questioning us!”

Davidʼs grandfather, Harold, entered the room, his face grim. He threw a newspaper onto the desk, the headline blaring out accusations of tax evasion. ”This is unacceptable. Weʼve worked too hard to build this company, and now itʼs all falling apart because of you!”

David clenched his jaw, his eyes narrowing. ”I swear, Iʼll find out whoʼs behind this. They wonʼt get away with it.”

Richard shook his head, his voice filled with disappointment. ”Youʼd better. Because if you donʼt, there wonʼt be a company left for you to run.”

Meanwhile, Wang Jian watched the chaos unfold from the comfort of his hotel room, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. Charlotte and Sarah were with him, both of them equally pleased with the results of their efforts.

Charlotte raised a glass of champagne, her eyes twinkling. ”To a job well done. Weʼve managed to shake them to their core.”

Sarah clinked her glass against Charlotteʼs, her smile widening. ”And this is just the beginning. Once they start turning on each other, itʼll only get worse.”

Wang Jian took a sip of his drink, his eyes fixed on the news broadcast. ”Theyʼre scrambling, just like we wanted. But we canʼt let up now. We need to keep the pressure on.”

Charlotte nodded, her expression serious. ”Whatʼs the next move?”

Wang Jian set down his glass, a determined look in his eyes. ”Weʼre going to target their financial backers. If we can make their investors doubt them, theyʼll start pulling out, and Langston Industries will be left with nothing.”

Sarah grinned, her excitement palpable. ”Consider it done. Iʼll start gathering information on their major investors, and weʼll find a way to turn them against Langston.”

Charlotte leaned back, a satisfied smile on her lips. ”This is going to be the end for them. They wonʼt be able to recover from this.”

Wang Jianʼs smile widened, his eyes filled with determination. ”Thatʼs the plan. Letʼs bring them down once and for all.”

The days that followed were filled with a flurry of activity. Wang Jian, Charlotte, and Sarah worked tirelessly, using every resource at their disposal to undermine Langston Industries. They reached out to Langstonʼs investors, planting seeds of doubt and feeding them misinformation about the companyʼs financial stability.

It wasnʼt long before the investors began to grow wary. Some of them started pulling their funding, while others demanded answers from the Langston family. The pressure on David, Richard, and Harold intensified, and the cracks in their once-solid foundation began to show.

David sat in his office, his head in his hands as he tried to come up with a plan to save the

company. His father and grandfather were in the room with him, both of them looking equally defeated.

”Weʼre losing investors left and right,” Richard said, his voice filled with frustration. ”If we donʼt do something soon, weʼre going to be bankrupt.”

Harold nodded, his expression grim. ”We need to find a way to regain their trust. We canʼt let

this company go under.”

David looked up, his eyes filled with determination. ”Iʼm not going to let that happen. I donʼt care what it takes-Iʼll find a way to save us.”

But deep down, David knew that the situation was dire. The constant pressure, the scandals, and the loss of investors were taking their toll. And as much as he wanted to fight back, he couldnʼt help but feel that they were fighting a losing battle.

Back at the hotel, Wang Jian watched the news with a satisfied smile. The headlines were

exactly what he wanted to see: ”Investors Pull Out as Langston Industries Faces Uncertain Future” and ”Langston Family Struggles to Maintain Control Amid Scandals.”

Charlotte and Sarah sat beside him,

both of them equally pleased with the results of their efforts.

”Weʼve got them right where we want them,” Charlotte said, her voice filled with

satisfaction. ”Theyʼre losing everything.”

Sarah nodded, her eyes glinting with excitement. ”It wonʼt be long before theyʼre completely

finished.”

Wang Jian leaned back, a smile playing on his lips. ”This is just the beginning. Weʼre going to make sure that Langston Industries is nothing but a memory.”

And with that, Wang Jian, Charlotte, and Sarah raised their glasses in a toast to their success-

a wicked plan that had brought their enemies to their knees and left them with nothing but the ashes of what they once had.
