Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Knowing Yourself and Your Enemy is the Key to Win Every Battle

The living room filled with the sound of a cartoon playing, and Rong Yan spoke with a somber face, “But I can’t respond!”
“Because I have someone to protect.”
Estelle fell silent for a moment, almost certain that the online exposure was true. She was headachy and couldn’t help but be shocked.
The globally renowned Mr. Li, only 28 years old, suddenly had a five-year-old son—this was big news that everyone knew.
She hadn’t expected the little Crown Prince, who was the center of attention, to actually be Rong Yan’s child!
If this news broke out, it would definitely cause a bigger explosion than any newly popular actress being exposed for having a secret child. By then, whether it was Rong Yan or the Li Group, or even the little Crown Prince, all would be in the storm’s eye. This was probably why Rong Yan, rather than responding to the slander, chose to bear it, at least for the time being.
But if the other party dared to leak this, they definitely had something in their hands.
Her worry was that their consistent retreat would only embolden the opposition more and more…
Rong Yan had also considered this possibility and said via the phone, “Estelle, could you help me check out that self-media? Whether it’s offering money or using other methods, see if we can’t draw out who gave them the material from their mouth.”
“Do you have any suspects in mind?” Estelle asked her efficiently.
Rong Yan pursed her lips, pausing for a moment before saying, “Not many people knew about my pregnancy five years ago. The fact that they dared to taunt us in the leak without fear of us suing indicates they are certain I had the child! Only if my close confidant provided this information to them would they have the audacity to make such a statement.”
Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, Estelle, although previously acting as an artist coordinator, knew better than anyone how the industry liked its clandestine dealings. Once Rong Yan voiced her thoughts, Estelle knew who to investigate. “I will check what Rong Weiwei has been up to lately!”
“Thank you, Estelle,” she guessed Rong Weiwei too, but unlike Estelle, she did not expect to find out much from Rong Weiwei herself. After all, Rong Weiwei, who was deep in schemes and good at pretending to be a phony girl, would never personally make contact with the self-media.
Most likely, the self-media received an anonymous tip.
They wouldn’t find much!
What she really wanted to investigate was whether Rong Weiwei had gone abroad to snoop on her and now held any material regarding Duidui.
“No need to thank me; I’m your agent, and respecting your thoughts is only right. Regardless of how the situation develops, we’ll have to shoulder it together. Remember, you have a program recording tomorrow morning, so be sure to get to the dorm that AQ has prepared on time.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone with Estelle, Rong Yan took a nervous bite on her fingernail before calling the landlady abroad, asking her to help check at the hospital if anyone had been inquiring about Duidui recently.
After taking care of these things, she put down her phone. She reached out and pressed her throbbing temples. A press of the thumb on the swollen spot made it painfully taut.
Who was behind the scenes leaking information—was it Rong Weiwei or Shi Mufeng, or someone else?
She had to quickly find out exactly who was playing these games behind her back to launch a counterattack, or else any rash retaliation would only expose Duidui to the public eye.
Rong Yan twisted her brows in frustration, let go of her hand, and picked up her phone again, deep in thought while biting her nail.
No matter how you looked at it, Rong Weiwei was the most likely candidate. It’s just unclear what Rong Weiwei intended to do next!
Oh! This feeling of being controlled because someone has a hold on your weakness is terrible!
But knowing both your enemy and yourself is the only way to emerge victorious in every battle! She couldn’t be hasty…
