Xiao He was not joking.
The day after he told Lin Cheng about this, Qin Song of Xingchen Entertainment was taken away by the police.
It's said that he was taken away at a morning meeting at Star Entertainment.
The middle-aged man, who was originally quite overweight, was still leisurely sipping his tea and listening to his subordinates report on their work when a group of people in uniforms barged in.
When Qin Song saw that group of people, his face turned pale.
He already had a premonition of what was going to happen.
"Is this Mr. Qin Song?"
The lead officer's gaze was sharp, and he immediately fixed his eyes on Qin Song.
Qin Song's body went slightly weak, and his voice trembled when he met the officer's gaze, but he still managed to maintain his composure: "Yes, it's me."
"Come with us."
"good."
The simple conversation revealed a great deal. Qin Song's face quickly turned ashen, as if all was lost, and he slumped into his seat.
Although the police did not release much information, the people at the conference table were whispering among themselves.
The fierce infighting within the group lately is something that even those within the group can see clearly.
No one expected that the final outcome would come so quickly and so tragically.
In the end, Qin Song maintained his last shred of dignity, head bowed, as he was taken away by the police.
Soon, someone took a picture of the incident and posted it online, instantly causing an uproar.
Who is Qin Song?
Qin Lezhang's biological father!
【Huh? Is this the Qin Song I know?】
【Who is it?】
【Xingchen Entertainment, Qin Lezhang's father.】
【What? Isn't Qin Lezhang the crown prince?】
【...I'm speechless. "Crown Prince" is just a figure of speech. The Qing Dynasty is long gone. Do you really think he's the emperor's son? He's a nobody! He only has good resources because his father is powerful.】
【What? Qin Lezhang's father was arrested? What will happen to him? Won't it affect his future works?】
【It's okay, their family isn't very powerful, they'll definitely be able to get them out.】
【666, the capitalists invaded without taking me.】
【Wow, they just bail someone out like that? Shouldn't you fans ask their father if he dares to come out and bail them out? This is hilarious.】
【Pfft, actually I've wanted to say this for a while now. Those who keep bragging about Qin Lezhang's background should probably look up the difference between Xingchen Pictures and Xingchen Entertainment first.】
【What does this mean? Qin Lezhang's identity is fake?】
【Qin Lezhang's father is just a middleman managing the company; frankly, he works for Xingchen Pictures. Let Lu Zhi, this financial blogger, give you a proper explanation, so you don't mistake all CEOs for domineering figures!】
【I saw it. He's definitely not the heir to Star Smile Films, but there's nothing wrong with him being called the top star of Star Smile Entertainment, right? We've never marketed our young master as the group's eldest son.】
【Yeah, even if Qin Lezhang is just the heir of Xingchen Entertainment, he's still more capable than most others. Those who criticize him can only envy him.】
【...I'm impressed. Even if the sky falls, the fans' mouths will hold it up.】
This day also happened to be the day when Xiao He was preparing to officially join the cast of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind".
They received the message while on their way to the film set.
Old Qi was driving, Liu Rulan was in the passenger seat, and Xiao Chen was sitting next to Xiao He, holding her phone and excitedly sharing the story with everyone: "It's said that Qin Lezhang's father illegally misappropriated company assets and was reported to the police by the group's senior management."
"Hmph, serves him right!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao He merely raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "Is that so? That's quite unusual."
Liu Rulan glanced at Xiao He through the rearview mirror and said to Xiao Chen, "Then I suppose Xingchen Pictures won't protect Qin Lezhang anymore, right?"
“The one who called the police was a high-ranking executive at Xingchen Pictures. How could they possibly protect Qin Lezhang!” Xiao Chen thought of all the things Qin Lezhang had done in the past and spit on him bitterly. “His father was arrested, and the persona he’s been building has completely collapsed. All those so-called noble family backgrounds he talked about before are nothing like what they are now.”
"Qin Lezhang has offended a lot of people in the past," Liu Rulan said calmly from the front. "Just wait and see, all his dirty secrets will definitely come out soon."
Liu Rulan was well aware of the nature of these people in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Sure enough, once Qin Lezhang's "rich second generation" facade was torn off, many people in the industry couldn't sit still.
Over the years, Qin Lezhang has offended more than just Xiao He.
Xiao He didn't even need to intervene; Qin Lezhang, having lost his biggest support, had already become the target of everyone's criticism within the circle.
What was unexpected was that the first person to criticize Qin Lezhang was actually his fiancée, Zhu Zishan, whom he had previously announced he was getting married to.
【Zhu Zishan: If you knew that I always have to pay for my own hotel every time I see him, you would also think I have a very miserable life.】
When netizens saw this message, they were all asking questions.
【Huh? I didn't see that right, did I? I rubbed my eyes, making sure I wasn't mistaken.】
【Is this something we netizens can say?】
【Wait, is Qin Lezhang really that stingy? That shouldn't be the case! It's completely different from his usual personality.】
【It's not like the man always has to pay for the hotel room, is it? There's no rule saying that's the case!】
Zhu Zishan personally responded to this netizen.
【Zhu Zishan: I always pay for everything, including buying balloons.】
【???】
Netizens were shocked once again.
No, is this something I can say?
No, that's ridiculous! Qin Lezhang even had this bought by the woman?
Holy crap, who can believe that?
【Holy crap, is this for real? I'm totally stunned.】
【Ran Xiaobai: Really, he even said that his identity was special and he couldn't register the marriage, so he always registered under the woman's name. I thought he only did this to me, but it turns out he does it to everyone else too.】
【Hmm? This familiar ID? Holy crap, Ran Xiaobai? If I remember correctly, she was Qin Lezhang's ex, right? I think she was an internet celebrity. After their relationship was exposed, her fans went on a rampage online, eventually driving her to depression and forcing her to leave the entertainment industry.】
【It really is her! I'm shocked!】
【So who does he really think he is? Claiming to have a special status and afraid to leave a trace? I'm dying of laughter.】
【Zhu Zishan: Don't laugh yet. His manager checks the room before and after every session, taking everything used with him. He's super vigilant.】
【???】
【No, we're just netizens. Are you really going to let us see these revelations? Aren't they a bit too much?】
【I'm so stupid! Can you guys stop with the leaks and give me some evidence? I have a friend who really wants to know what's going on.】
【Ahem, while letting netizens be the judges is a bit unwise, I can still offer my opinion on fresh gossip.】
Xiao Chen gasped and quickly shared with everyone, "Wow, Qin Lezhang's family is at least rich! But when he goes out with a woman, he never spends his own money on anything?"
Other passengers: ...
Xiao He's lips twitched, and he silently took out his phone.
This is why he didn't directly take action against Qin Lezhang.
Xiao He simply didn't believe that, given Qin Lezhang's personality, no one else in the circle would hold a grudge against him.
The revelations that will break will be far more exciting than anything he discovered on his own.
Look, this is a bombshell right off the bat. Xiao He wouldn't bother investigating this kind of thing; it's all thanks to Qin Lezhang's exes.
It's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone.
Ahem, let him see what's going on.
