Xiao He leaned close to Liu Rulan's ear and whispered something else: "Yu Xuezheng was in contact with Jiaxing Entertainment some time ago."
Yu Xuezheng is the top female star of Xingchen Entertainment, so what does it mean that she is secretly contacting Jiaxing Entertainment at this time?
Liu Rulan's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Yes, I found out by chance."
Xiao He raised his hand, clenched his fist, and coughed lightly, concealing the smile on his lips.
“I don’t believe that if there’s something to gain, that guy surnamed Song won’t be tempted. If all else fails, you can talk to him about this.”
Liu Rulan looked at Xiao He with a complicated expression, seemingly not expecting that Xiao He had grown to this extent without her realizing it.
Starry Night Pictures probably still doesn't know that their current predicament, besieged on all sides, is being manipulated by an unseen hand.
...
While Xiao He's side was already discussing the division of profits, the internet was already in an uproar over this matter.
【Qin Lezhang has such a huge bombshell? It's blown me away.】
【I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy! Has the person been caught? I suggest sending him to be executed immediately!】
【I'm truly speechless. Qin Lezhang and Wang Shaoqi are such fake brothers! To avoid getting caught, Qin Lezhang betrayed his good friend's shady dealings. If Wang Shaoqi knew, he'd probably tear Qin Lezhang to pieces!】
【Oh my god, the main problem is that Wang Shaoqi is really no good! The 'Cangyue Jie' production team is going to be ruined by him. His mob antics are outrageous; now the production has been shut down.】
【The Legend of Cangyue is completely ruined.】
【Ugh, I'm so angry! My "Cangyue Tribulation"! My Yue Yuanbai! I really want Qin Lezhang and Wang Shaoqi to both die!】
【Fans of the original novel "Cang Yue Jie" suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. "When I first heard about the film adaptation, I wanted to die. When I saw that my Demon Lord was played by Wang Shaoqi, that greasy, ordinary guy, I wanted to die even more. Now, thankfully, the production has stopped, and Wang Shaoqi is out of the picture. It's double happiness!"】
【Qin Lezhang is a scumbag, Wang Shaoqi is a scumbag, and the agent who helped set them up is even worse. And Qin Lezhang's exes—don't play dumb at a time like this! I don't believe you don't know!】
【And about Xiaoxue's matter, @冉小白, weren't you Qin Lezhang's girlfriend back then? Dare you say you didn't know? You were so innocent back then, saying you didn't know Qin Lezhang had stalker fans, and even hoping everyone would be rational in their fandom. I'm speechless. You've said everything, good and bad.】
【What are these people doing? What's their purpose on Earth? Can't they just get out of the human race?】
【This whole mess is full of villains! Besides the victim, the woman slapped him, the man slapped him too, and the inhuman ones slapped him relentlessly.】
【That fish is done for.】
These companies in the Chinese entertainment industry need to be investigated! Can't the relevant authorities properly oversee this?
【@StarChenPictures, get out here, stop playing dead! I refuse to believe that when Qin Lezhang was using your name for marketing, you were unaware and mostly turned a blind eye. Now that Qin Lezhang is using your influence to silence the victims, shouldn't you also come out and take half the responsibility? Hmm? Or are you still trying to play dead and hide?】
There's so much random and chaotic news that netizens are overwhelmed. Some are talking about Qin Lezhang, some about the cast and crew of the drama "Cang Yue Jie," and others about Xingchen Pictures...
With the police report and further coverage by journalist Zhou # Nоvеlight # Junhao, the internet descended into chaos.
Meanwhile, back in Beijing, when the Qin family learned that their grandson's affair had also been exposed, the old man clutched his chest and leaned back on the spot. His panicked mother rushed him to the hospital for emergency treatment.
The rest of the Qin family tried to use the old man's remaining connections to inquire about the situation and try to gamble on a last chance of survival—unfortunately, they had asked too many people for help during this period, and no one was stupid. Moreover, Qin Lezhang's many troubles had already worn down the goodwill these people had previously shown, so when the Qin family was in trouble this time, no one wanted to lend a helping hand.
It can only be said that Qin Lezhang's fate was sealed the moment he began to commit evil deeds by abusing his family background.
Finally, before Old Master Qin could even get off his hospital bed, the investigation team arrived.
When the old man in bed opened his eyes and coldly looked at the group of people waiting outside the ward, he knew that the Qin family was completely finished this time.
Qin Mubai closed his eyes, regretting for the umpteenth time that he hadn't disciplined Qin Lezhang properly, letting this fool bring them utter disaster!
But what other options are there?
The suspect hadn't given anything away, and even now, he still didn't know who the mastermind was.
Qin Mubo gave a self-deprecating laugh.
The people outside rushed in.
A man in uniform, with a serious expression, walked in, took out his identification, faced the old man, and said in a slightly cold but solemn voice: "Comrade Qin Mubai, we are from the Beijing Municipal Supervisory Commission... We are currently investigating you for suspected serious violations of discipline and law. Please cooperate immediately..."
Looking at the documents in front of him, Qin Mubai's chest heaved more and more noticeably, until finally he fainted again...

Xiao He had no idea that he had almost angered Old Master Qin to death. At that moment, he was on set filming the latest scene of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind".
Song Chenye and Liu Zhilin's visit did not go smoothly.
The legendary "Master of Chiba Manor" was unwilling to see them, but fortunately, the master's sister was related to Liu Zhilin by blood. Relying on this slight kinship, she finally agreed to let the two of them into the manor.
There is a large lake in the resort, with trees and vegetation on both sides. Only in the center of the lake stands an ancient pavilion, with silk fluttering inside and faint music rippling across the calm lake surface.
A woman dressed in a white gauze dress sat gracefully behind a gauze curtain, revealing only a faint, indistinct silhouette.
The maid who had led the way bowed slightly to the figure, then turned and quietly left.
Song Chenye listened to the zither music that vaguely lingered in her memory, and became somewhat engrossed.
He narrowed his eyes, gripped his sword in his right hand, and stared warily at the mysterious figure behind the veil, his lips pressed tightly together.
Liu Zhilin, on the other hand, was relaxed and leisurely, unfolding his fan and swaying it gently to the rhythm of the music, his face showing a look of rapture, as if he really liked the piece.
Neither of them interrupted the music, and the already somewhat chilly atmosphere became even more eerie as the mournful and sorrowful melody grew.
Suddenly, a breeze began to blow across the lake.
A gentle breeze swept by, lifting the veil just in time to reveal a graceful figure standing before the zither inside the pavilion, though her face remained hidden.
Outside the pavilion, a tall and handsome young swordsman stood calmly, while those inside could only just see the sword he held tightly in his hand.
But the next moment, the beautiful music suddenly broke down.
