Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 808 - 516: Eyes

Feng Yi made a decision, no longer keeping a low profile, he wanted to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

"Old Yuan has been investigating for so long and still hasn’t found the key information. Let’s give them a boost and hurry them along."

Feng Yi had a hunch that the accident he encountered at the construction site was very likely orchestrated by the illegal drug manufacturers, regardless of whether their ultimate target was him or A’que, or perhaps both of them. If they failed once, they would definitely try a second time.

If the other party made a move again, Feng Yi would be prepared and would certainly make them leave behind more clues.

Thus, the investigation team would not be far from finding the source.

Feng Yi would also be able to resolve the historical issues quickly. If things went smoothly and the time was right, he might even manage to finish before the Ghost Festival and have a traditional ceremony to burn paper and inform his ancestors.

In the following period, Feng Yi didn’t stay at home. Originally planning to rest for a few more days, after forming a new plan, he feasted at home for a few meals and then packed his bags to set off.

Since Feng Yi’s identity was exposed, his contact with the Cooperative Security Bureau’s expert committee had diminished, as he participated in less public activities and there was not enough face-to-face communication. This time, Feng Yi chose several events to attend.

Seminars, exchange meetings, and public academic reports. He was invited to talk about his new discoveries in the tropical rainforest, and for those who had not heard, to share the process of finding the bones of the giant rainforest serpent.

In addition, the Cooperative Security Bureau, knowing he had plans to attend events, recommended he participate in a public safety campaign themed "Safe Medication".

Many details about the illegal drugs under investigation could not be shared publicly, but it was still necessary to remind the public.

Given Feng Yi’s online popularity along with his special identity, his participation would definitely improve the effectiveness of the campaign.

Feng Yi accepted the campaign as well.

So, for many consecutive days, Feng Yi appeared in different cities at different events. Some events were not highly recognized by the public, but with media promotion and social platform buzz, they made the hot search. By the time the next event started, it had been well-prepped, raising the attention level.

The event organizers didn’t miss this great opportunity, all of them began promoting in advance. Some venues that used to rely on cooperating organizations to sell tickets, or even forced selling, now sold out quickly.

Feng Yi made several public appearances in a row without any unusual incidents. He was not in a rush.

Yue Gongyang had said that it was the people behind the illegal drug manufacturing who should be anxious. All that was needed was patience, and the other party would definitely make their move.

That day, after finishing an event, Feng Yi returned to his hotel and received a call from Feng Chi.

Feng Chi: "Brother, you’ve suddenly become very high-profile lately!"

Feng Yi said, "I’ve taken on a few tasks, and I have some other plans."

Feng Chi uttered an "Oh" but did not ask in detail what the plans were, instead expressing his concern: "So do you also have to run events for the next while? Is the itinerary confidential? Is it easy to find out?"

Without waiting for Feng Yi to answer, Feng Chi continued eagerly, "Even if the itinerary is not confidential, you must be cautious about where you stay! Even in upscale hotels, you need to be on guard, like against those who stage accidents or have nefarious intentions to get close..."

"Do you know how enticing you are? In the eyes of many, you are like the ’flesh of Monk Tang’! Young and good-looking, and most importantly, very wealthy! Not to mention those from afar, but even in the entertainment circle, many are eyeing you!"

Even if they couldn’t have a stable, long-term relationship with Feng Yi, maintaining a short-term "friendship" could bring them many benefits!

Feng Chi was worried.

Despite sharing many scandalous stories with Feng Yi from time to time, every time he thought of Feng Yi’s situation, Feng Chi seemed to see a delight as tempting as the ’flesh of Monk Tang’, surrounded by male and female demons.

He was concerned that Feng Yi was unaware of the extent of the tactics some people would use. Some could really act – they might not perform in the plays but were masterful in their real-life performances!

Feng Chi said, "Bro, you must protect yourself at all costs! You have to take bodyguards with you, that very tall and strong one, the bodyguard who could knock out ten of me with a single punch!"

Feng Yi: "...I’ve got him with me."

After hanging up the phone, Feng Yi looked toward Jia who had just come in from outside the door.

"Has the person left?" Feng Yi asked.

"Yes, I refused the gift, and they left an invitation card," Jia handed the invitation card to Feng Yi.

This was the ninth visitor of the day.

Feng Yi glanced at the invitation, placing it on the table to the side.

There was already a stack of similar invitations there, but Feng Yi had no intention of attending those banquets and events.

This time, Feng Yi only allowed Jia and A’que to follow by his side.

In the hotel suite, Jia was responsible for dealing with the visitors in the living room.

A’que stood guard outside Feng Yi’s bedroom door, dutifully acting as a security bodyguard. If any visitor tried to barge in or use some means to approach Feng Yi, they would have to face this burly bodyguard.

Setting aside the invitations, Feng Yi took the tablet that A’que handed over.

On it was the latest investigation material sent by Yi, integrating the progress of multiple investigations and outlining a dozen targets with suspicious behaviors.

The investigation team was screening these targets.

Feng Yi flipped through the information of these companies and organizations one by one, pausing slightly on a certain page, then continued to the next.

After going through them once, Feng Yi said, "Perhaps the target is indeed among these."

A’que, who had been silent beside him, spoke up, "Are they not making a move on us because they need to deal with the investigation team’s scrutiny?"

Feng Yi nodded, "That’s possible. I also don’t rule out that the person behind the scenes is not on this list."

As he spoke, Feng Yi flipped back to the page where he had paused earlier and asked A’que,

"What do you make of this?"

A’que looked at the logo on the screen and frowned, "An eye?"

Feng Yi then asked Jia.

Jia also said, "It does look like an eye, just a bit exaggerated."

After saying this, Jia glanced at Feng Yi’s expression and tentatively asked, "Boss, do you have a different opinion?"

Feng Yi shook his head.

"I also think it looks like an eye, but there’s also another feeling to it."

The tablet lit up with the page on the screen, as Feng Yi enlarged the logo of a certain company.

It was an eye with incongruous proportions, exaggerated contours, a bizarre pupil, and overly long eyelashes that gave it a somewhat ferocious look.

Jia took out his phone and searched for a moment.

"A mid-sized foreign pharmaceutical company. There have been many online complaints about the company’s logo, saying it’s too distinctive with a strong abstract art vibe. Perhaps the founder incorporated his radical ideas into this very artistic logo. There are rumors that the logo’s designer is an admirer of Picasso."

Feng Yi asked, "Who is the designer?"

Jia said, "Unknown, to this day. It’s said to protect the designer of the logo. Consumers have complained many times, but not about the products—about the pharma company’s logo, saying that just looking at the eye on the packaging made them uncomfortable. Over the years, people have suggested that the pharmaceutical company change its logo, but the company has been steadfast, quite stubborn, and has never changed it...

"Uh, to be precise, the logo has changed, but it became more three-dimensional and even more bizarre. It’s joked online that the original designer went for further training."

Jia showed Feng Yi the webpage he had just pulled up on his phone and asked, "Boss, do you think there’s something wrong with this pharmaceutical company?"

Feng Yi said, "The data doesn’t show anything specific, but I just feel this eye looks odd."

Hmm, it was his instinct that felt something off about this logo.
