Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 182 Boss Yan's First Display of Fame, Qin Lan Arrives in Hengdian

Song Zhude claimed that he learned the news from an insider and believed it to be true.

The head of Yi'an Film & Television stated that they are indifferent to whether or not an apology is issued, and will directly sue Song Zhude for insult or defamation.

Song Zhude claimed that since he did not name names, it did not constitute defamation.

According to a post on Tianya, Song Zhude is embroiled in a fraud and assault case.

Did Song Zhude engage in illegal fundraising? Reporter interviews multiple victims.

Song Zhude publicly apologized to Yan Li on his blog; Yi An Film & Television has not responded.

Song Zhude is embroiled in tax disputes as multiple companies under his name are investigated.

Unable to be contacted, Song Joo-deok is suspected of fleeing overseas.

Relevant authorities: Rumors of Song Zhude's escape are false; he has been apprehended.

Yan Li's First Response: Evil People Get Their Retribution; Song Zhude's Arrest Has Nothing to Do with Him; He Will Continue to Pursue Defamation Charges

"After her enemy's downfall, Jin Qiaoqiao is all smiles, saying the gloom has dissipated and she thanks the law."

"..."

In the dressing room of "Investiture of the Gods," Fan Xiaopang put down his newspaper and looked at Yan Li with some curiosity: "Where did you get so much juicy gossip?"

Tax evasion is not easy to investigate, illegal fundraising and fraud are difficult to define and require solid evidence, and the violent assault is an even more secretive matter.

Yan Li said innocently, "What does this have to do with me? It was all reported by concerned citizens."

Fan Xiaopang rolled her eyes. Guess if she believes it or not.

"Alright, but I've just started. This kid is too hated. When someone's down, everyone kicks them while they're down. There are plenty of people who want to get rid of him."

Yan Li couldn't just casually take the intelligence and attack him; if that fell into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives, it could easily lead to trouble.

Therefore, Yan Li did not show too much in public, but only slightly revealed his muscles to let people know that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Most of the time, Yan Li mainly instigated Song Zhude's enemies to kick him while he was down, adding fuel to the fire and providing assistance, letting them know the key people and key evidence, so that he didn't have to worry about the rest. At the same time, he helped to spread the word and make the relevant departments pay attention.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Song Zhude brought this upon himself; he was too arrogant and ended up provoking a tough opponent.

Yan Li, a tough guy, took the lead in targeting him, which made his other enemies see through his true strength. Taking advantage of his illness, they all joined in, and Yan Li seized the opportunity to beat Song Zhude to death.

Even Song Zhude himself thought so. He suspected that some key evidence was either a betrayal by someone close to him or that Yan Li had turned him against him.

However, Yan Li did provide a relatively reasonable explanation.

But Fan Xiaopang witnessed Yan Li's extreme anger and subsequent calm and composed observation of the situation, and felt that things were not so simple.

The saying "when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down" seems to appear on the surface to be a natural and opportune moment.

But if it were that easy, where were these people all this time? How could Song Zhude have been living a carefree life for so long?
This is probably orchestrated by Yan Li behind the scenes!
Although Fan Xiaopang didn't know exactly how Yan Li had done it, it didn't stop her from feeling how terrifying the young man in front of her was.

"Were you reborn?"

"what?"

Yan Li was stunned by Fan Xiaopang's question. The latter explained, "I read a novel online. Someone your age who is so cunning and treacherous is probably a reincarnated old fox with memories of his previous life, which is why he is so precise in his actions."

"..."

Yan Li shook his head helplessly: "Stop reading those online novels. Rebirth? Why don't you just say I have a cheat code?"

"Those are too fake, rebirth is more reliable."

Yan Li could actually tell that Fan Xiaopang was using jokes to dispel some of his fear and apprehension.

Yan Li dealt with Song Zhude in no time, which somewhat frightened her.

Song Zhude may look like a clown, but he actually has some skills.

He has slandered and defamed quite a few celebrities, such as Jin Qiaoqiao, who was the target of many false rumors. Song hated her to the core, but there was nothing he could do.

Anyway, if it were Fan Xiaopang herself, she would have no other way to retaliate except to angrily denounce or sue the other party for defamation. At most, she could get the other party to apologize or have their blog account suspended, but that would be harmless to such people.

Even going so far as to try and find someone to put a sack on him would be difficult; this guy has many enemies, some money, and is a cunning man with many burrows, so ordinary people simply can't find him.

The more you immerse yourself in the story, the more you can appreciate Yan Li's skill and "power."

Yan Li was aware of Fan Xiaopang's emotions, but he didn't offer any comfort or reassurance.

He usually spoils this young lady quite a bit, so it's good to scare her a little to prevent her from getting too cocky one day.

However, what he didn't expect was that although Fan Xiaopang was initially intimidated and somewhat afraid, he quickly turned into happiness and elation.

She realized something: she was now Yan Li's person, and the more powerful Yan Li was, the better it would be for her.

This young woman even instigated Yan Li to take care of the four young actresses above her one by one. Li Bingbing was an ally, so she only needed to cripple her, and then she could directly ascend to the top.

"You want to reach the top? Why don't you just become emperor?"

Yan Li said irritably, "Do you know how much effort and money I spent this time? Moreover, this approach is extreme and will easily make me a target of public criticism. If you can avoid it, then don't."

If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone!
This is Yan Li's guiding principle and one of the principles for using the system for retaliation.

Important equipment should be used with caution.

Such a powerful, illogical weapon must be treated with utmost caution.

Since Yan Li currently lacks the means to "cover" the system with real-world power, it's best to keep it as a trump card.

Fan Xiaopang loves to swagger, and Yan Li deliberately exaggerated the consequences to give her a warning.

That way, he won't let that little wench cause trouble because she thinks he's backing her up, and then he'll have to clean up her mess later.

Fan Xiaopang was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't take the shortcut, but he was still generally happy: "Take care of Song Zhude as an example to warn others, and see who dares to spread rumors in the future."

Yan Li nodded in deep agreement.

Even though he was mostly operating behind the scenes this time, his personal involvement, swift retaliation, and the subtle implications behind it all still showed many people how formidable Yan Li was.

Don't let his young age fool you, he's a ruthless guy!

Yan Li's public opinion environment improved significantly. At least there were no more clowns trying to ride his coattails, and the criticisms and attacks were based on facts. There were no more rumors or insults, and even some blogs and Tianya posts that maliciously targeted him were deleted by the platform, administrators, or the accounts themselves.

Even Fan Xiaopang and Li Bingbing benefited a lot from this.

Both inside and outside the industry, Boss Yan and Yi An have gained considerable fame, but this time it's fame that's prestigious.

Therefore, the reality is that people fear power but not morality, and flexing one's muscles at the right time can bring many hidden benefits.

Song Zhude isn't aggressive enough yet; he's only bullying a few minor celebrities, so his influence is limited. Otherwise, it would have been more effective for Yan Li to target him.

"How many years can this guy stay in there?"

Fan Xiaopang asked curiously, and Yan Li shook his head: "It's hard to say."

This idiot's background isn't exactly clean, but it's not particularly dirty either, otherwise he wouldn't dare to come out and create hype.

Many of his actions were ambiguous. Yan Li had consulted a lawyer, who said that even with evidence, some charges might not be enough to secure his arrest.

运气好3~5年就能出来，运气差点5~7年，10年以上的可能性极低。

However, Yan Li has already made arrangements for him, ensuring that he will have a comfortable time inside.

As for whether this old guy will cause trouble again when he comes out, Yan Li doesn't care.

If he can easily deal with him now, it will be even easier in a few years. With the system in hand, Yan Li is not afraid of his revenge.

If Song Zhude were smart, he would have honestly admitted defeat, and Yan Li wouldn't have kept arguing with him.

He's not very bright. Yan Lizhen wouldn't mind letting him go back in and have some fun. It would be even better if he went abroad. Yan Lizhen's intelligence system has triggered something like the dark web before, which is even easier than in China.

"Anyway, this guy is useless."

Yan Li made his assertion, and Fan Xiaopang looked at him with a dazed expression. She liked Yan Li's domineering and assertive demeanor. Seeing that no one was around, she hooked Yan Li's finger with her delicate fingers.

"No matter what, we've gotten our revenge. How about we go out for a meal today to celebrate?"

Yan Li grasped her hand, gently playing with it, his tone teasing: "Missing me again?"

Fan Xiaopang pinched him angrily: "What the hell are you thinking? If you don't want to go, fine. Do you think I care that much?"

"hehe."

Yan Li chuckled, not caring that he had been monopolizing him every day these past few days; Wang Ou was getting increasingly impatient.

She also confidently claimed that she was supervising Yan Li to prevent him from doing anything foolish, using both soft and hard tactics to silence Wang Ou, and constantly gossiping about her behind Wu Jiani's back.

"Whether you want it or not, I can't go. I have something to do today."

Fan Xiaopang asked in confusion, "Another social engagement?"

"No, I'm going to pick someone up."

"Oh."

Fan Xiaopang assumed it was an investor or something and didn't take it seriously. He continued the previous topic: "What time are you coming back? Or I can buy some food and we can celebrate at the hotel."

"Uh……"

Yan Li squeezed Fan Xiaopang's little hand: "I probably won't go to your place today."

Fan Xiaopang's body tensed slightly, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly: "Dong Xuan is here?"

Yan Li: "...It's not her."

"..."

Fan Xiaopang roughly understood what was going on, snorted coldly, pulled his hand back from Yan Li, turned his head away and ignored him, closing his eyes to rest.

Yan Li hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything. He continued playing on his phone, waiting for the crew to finish setting up the set so he could go out and film.

After he left, Fan Xiaopang opened her eyes, her pretty face showing slight anger.

What a scoundrel! He's like a man who doesn't care about his wife after he's done his work. Yesterday he was hugging her and praising her as the woman he loved most, and today he's ignoring her completely...

Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport

Hengdian does not currently have an airport, but there are quite a few airports in the surrounding area.

Yiwu and Xiaoshan airports are close to each other, but have relatively few flights. Shanghai's airport has more flights, but it takes several hours to get there by car.

Qin Lan couldn't buy a plane ticket to Yiwu, which was closer, but Xiaoshan wasn't far from Hengdian either, only about a two-hour drive away.

Upon exiting the airport and seeing Yan Li personally come to pick her up, Qin Lan was overjoyed and quickly rushed into Yan Li's arms.

Since Yan Li came to Hengdian to film, he returned to Beijing after only two months, but she happened to be away and they didn't run into each other.

If it weren't for matters in Beijing that held her back, Qin Lan would have joined the production team long ago.

She doesn't seem like Dong Xuan, who is currently "avoiding suspicion" because of her ex-girlfriend's exposure and can't come to visit the set.

They could only wait for Yan Li to return to the capital, or secretly meet him in nearby Shanghai or Hangzhou.

People were coming and going outside. Although the two tried to conceal themselves, they did not take any risks and behaved with restraint.

But once they got into the car, Qin Lan couldn't resist and stole a kiss from Yan Li while whimpering.

"Did you miss me?"

"think."

"..."

Driver Wu Maowen kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, accelerated, and saved a quarter of the time to take the two to the hotel that Yan Li had booked.

One after the other, they entered the hotel and arrived at the room. Unable to contain herself any longer, Qin Lan clung to Yan Li like a koala, giving Yan Li a thrilling experience of transforming from a water sprite to a fire sprite.

However, thanks to Yan Li's efforts, Qin Lan was forced back to her original form, singing their classic song "Water Orchid"...
