The news of Li Gang's arrest was immediately notified to Gu Bai by the Shanghai Public Security Bureau.

But by this time, Gu Bai had already made his second trip to Kyoto.

This matter was handed over to Yi Jiahui, and he instructed the group's legal department to follow up throughout the process. Gu Bai made only two requirements.

The first requirement was to find out who was behind fueling this public opinion, and the second was simple: the entire legal department should work together to strive for Li Gang to receive the maximum penalty for defamation.

Gu Bai never believed in the saying "Let bygones be bygones." Since Li Gang dared to offend him, he must bear the consequences.

Beijing Capital International Airport.

At the VIP passage, under the protection of several bodyguards, Gu Bai walked slowly towards the outside of the airport.

Due to the public opinion, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Bai wore a black mask. Although the entourage of bodyguards attracted some attention, it did not cause much of a stir.

The airport passengers just assumed Gu Bai was some celebrity.

After all, at Beijing Capital International Airport, this kind of scene occurred many times daily.

Outside the airport, many supercars and several luxury cars were waiting.

Du Jun: "Principal, why do you think Brother Bai came to Kyoto at this time? I see that people are almost in an uproar online, and saying it's a public fury is an understatement."

This group of people were a bunch of second-generation rich kids from Kyoto who partnered with Gu Bai to open a club.

Before coming to Kyoto, Gu Bai gave Principal Wang a heads-up, but he didn't expect so many to show up, which also proved Gu Bai's influence among these second-generation rich kids.

Principal Wang leaned against the car door and glanced at Du Jun who was speaking.

"Do you think Gu Bai cares about these things? Let's not talk about Gu Bai, if they were cursing you online and not Gu Bai, would you care?"

As someone who had been cursed by netizens for many years, Principal Wang was somewhat dismissive of so-called online public opinion.

It's just a bunch of people who never seek the truth and merely follow the crowd.

"That's true, but did Brother Bai mention why he's here in Kyoto? Our new club has been almost remodeled, and we aim to open it by the Spring Festival, hoping to make a big profit then."

Principal Wang's investment in this club, like Gu Bai's, was more of a playful nature, and he never really cared about how much money it could make.

"Gu Bai's trip to Kyoto shouldn't be for the new club. You all know about CCTV's annual grand ceremony program, right?"

"The Hua Country Grand Ceremony?"

Principal Wang nodded but didn't elaborate.

Old Wang, as the wealthiest man in the country, had naturally won honors, including the more prestigious title of one of Hua Country's top 10 business leaders.

As the ceremony approached, CCTV released teasers to attract attention and fuel audience enthusiasm to guess who would receive honors this year.

At Principal Wang's level, he could get some insider information through back channels.

Thinking of this, even Principal Wang couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

The top 10 youth leaders in Hua Country.

This title is not just a nominal reward; it's real recognition at a higher level! For instance, if Gu Bai had this title during the recent public outrage against him, such a situation wouldn't have happened; no one would question the country's credibility!

Even though he held the title of top rich second generation, Principal Wang figured he'd never obtain such an honor in his lifetime, which made him quite upset. In his eyes, Gu Bai was also a rich second generation, so why should he receive more favor?

At this moment, Gu Bai, surrounded by Gu Yi and several bodyguards, walked out of the airport lobby.

Even though he wore a mask, Principal Wang and the others immediately recognized him. Du Jun jumped off the car's hood and waved at Gu Bai.

Seeing Principal Wang and the others, Gu Bai approached them with a smile.

"Wow, such a big welcoming scene—it makes me feel a bit flattered."

"Cut the small talk; we've arranged a reception banquet for you. Let's go first."

Principal Wang walked up to Gu Bai and lightly tapped him on the chest.

Although Gu Bai was heavily disguised, Principal Wang wasn't, and many people around had already started taking pictures with their phones. Looking around at the crowd, Gu Bai, not wanting another trending incident, said, "Let's wait on the reception banquet; CCTV has an interview at two in the afternoon. We have just enough time to get there now."

Hearing Gu Bai's words, Du Jun, showing indifference, said, "It's just an interview. Can't we let them wait? Let's eat first and go after."

CCTV interviews might be important to many celebrities, but for Du Jun and others like him, it wasn't a big deal.

Gu Bai shook his head.

"If it were a regular interview, it wouldn't matter if I were late. But this time, it's a named interview from the Propaganda Department, so it's not appropriate."

"Propaganda Department? So, the thing about the Hua Country Grand Ceremony that the principal mentioned is real?"

By this point, Gu Bai was too lazy to hide it anymore and just nodded.

"Brother Bai, awesome! Get in the car, and we'll personally take you there. We'll give you a proper welcome after your interview."

As a second generation from Kyoto, Du Jun understood the significance of the Propaganda Department better than most, so he had no more to say.

Gu Bai chuckled and got into Principal Wang's Bentley Mulsanne, complaining from the passenger window, "If you now made me choose between a big van and a supercar, I'd take the van. I'm getting old and can't handle the strain."
