Chapter 400: Young Master Liu Arrested, the Empire is on the Verge of Collapse

What kind of scene is it that a top influencer personally gets involved in tearing down a seemingly absurd and unbelievable scandal?
Rain fell in the melon field, and the air was filled with the red flesh of melons, much to the delight of the onlookers.

But Chi Ye's relentless pressure didn't stop. From that moment on, he started replying to netizens' comments at a rate of one Weibo post every ten minutes. The traffic exploded, and Chi Ye dominated the trending topics list almost within half an hour.

It's gotten out of hand, it's completely blown up.

Things have gotten out of control, like a raging river bursting its banks, impacting everyone and every team in the Chinese entertainment industry.

The relevant departments responded almost immediately after the incident escalated. At the Weibo Charity Night event, just as Liu Jie had told Yu Yan, she did not offer much explanation and was immediately taken away from the scene.

Yu Yan was also taken away, and as a result, she quickly became a trending topic.

Looking at this scene, Teacher Lü's eyes were a little sad. She shook her head and said, "Why did it have to come to this... Now no one will have a good time."

Everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry realized that something big was about to happen that night.

at the same time.

After the matter was temporarily resolved, Zhang Qing returned to the company. He looked rather unwell. After dismissing his secretary, he hurried back to his office.

Before anyone could even sit down, the door was pushed open.

"Ok?"

He turned around abruptly and saw Wang Hui walk in with a gloomy expression.

"...?"

Zhang Qing didn't speak, but he raised an eyebrow, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

"You got involved too?"

This time, Wang Hui didn't hold back either, staring at him coldly: "Do you know what you're doing?"

Zhang Qing frowned: "I don't understand what you mean."

"not understand?"

Wang Hui slammed his hand on the table: "They've already called me, and you still say you don't understand what I mean? Were you involved in this whole thing?! Don't you know the size of our group? You'll be held legally responsible for doing something like this!"

Zhang Qing remained silent for two seconds before shaking his head: "I don't know anything about it."

"Really?"

Wang Hui didn't believe it.

Zhang Qing didn't continue to provide evidence, but simply shook his head: "I don't need to tell you these things. In short, like everyone else, I just found out about this."

"...Old Zhang."

Wang Hui's expression softened, and his tone became gentle: "Business is business. It's not worth getting into legal trouble over something like this. For people like us, if we're going to do something, we should do it well, or we shouldn't do it at all. I hope what you're saying is true, otherwise..."

He didn't continue, but Zhang Qing understood what he meant and nodded: "I understand."

"Ah."

Wang Hui glanced at it and said, "Okay, I'll head back now if there's nothing else."

"Ah."

Zhang Qing stared at his back until he left, then sat down in his chair, his face turning grim again.

……

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang said he was unaware of this, so we..."

"He doesn't know anything about it, my foot!"

Outside, Wang Hui cursed, then squinted and said, "He's finished. Get ready to take over the job."

The secretary paused for a moment, then nodded excitedly: "Understood!"

"Old Zhang, Old Zhang, look at you, you've pulled off something like this, and it's full of loopholes. If you don't step down, who will?"

Wang Hui shook his head, having already foreseen the fate of his old rival.

……

Chi Ye went mad and drugged Ling Bingbing, Deng Ziman, and Tao Cheng in public at the Weibo charity gala. Chi Ye didn't give Yue Na and the others any time to react and pushed the matter to its climax almost that very night.

Therefore, there is no room for any roundabout operations or maneuvers.

At this moment, no amount of connections or relationships can play a significant role.

Mr. Liu learned of the incident immediately after it happened, but all he could do was watch helplessly.

It wasn't that he hadn't called his relationship, but as soon as he dialed the number, Chi Ye had already posted countless Weibo posts. The overwhelming popularity of this top-tier celebrity, coupled with this malicious targeting incident, left his relationship completely dumbfounded.

"This man is insane, this matter... is not going to be easy."

"You have to help me even if it's difficult!"

Mr. Liu was really anxious at this moment. Was he just going to have to watch his huge business, which he had worked so hard to build, completely go to nothing?

From a giant in the Chinese entertainment industry to barely surviving, although the outcome was terrible, he is still alive. With his connections and skills, he can easily make a comeback in a few years once the storm has completely passed.

But this time is different from before. This time, Ikeno is here to take their lives!
Is such a large company like Yue Na really going to be ruined by an artist who once left?
What a big joke!
"Old Liu, it's not that this kind of thing can't be done."

On the other end of the phone, Guan Xi was silent for a long time before saying the same "disappointed" words as Wang Hui: "But you did it too carelessly. Chi Ye is not the same as before. If you deal with him so blatantly, he will fight back."

"...With your abilities, you could easily handle him!"

Mr. Liu: "I really have no other choice, I..."

"Old Liu, you still don't understand what I mean."

His tone hardened: "He didn't give you any time to react this time. If I go now, I can suppress this matter, but what about the future? We've had this relationship for so many years, I'm not going to play dumb with you. This kind of thing is not good for me."

Mr. Liu remained silent.

"Ugh."

The relationship seemed to have taken something into consideration, and its tone softened: "Actually, if he hadn't reacted so quickly, there would have been a lot of room for maneuver, but unfortunately... let me put it this way, there are many people who, like me, dislike him, especially now that Jin's side is gone, it's only a matter of time before they take him down, so..."

"...I understand what you mean."

"Old Liu, I'm not abandoning you, do you understand? If Yuena is gone, it's gone. Whoever caused this should be held accountable. Once this is over, things will calm down, and you'll still be you."

When Mr. Liu heard this, he just looked at him with disdain.

He knew the other party's character all too well. He was able to get close to him in the first place because of various benefits. Now that the benefits were gone, he was already a disgraced figure. In a few years, who would even recognize him as Boss Liu?
Moreover... Xiao Liu and he are real family!
Now I have to personally send my loved ones to prison. After that... will there be a future?
The two hung up the phone, and Boss Liu fell into the longest silence in his history.

Bang.

Suddenly, the door was flung open, and Mr. Liu rushed in, flustered: "What...what happened? What did he say?"

"..."

Mr. Liu looked at him speechlessly.

Mr. Liu opened his mouth: "Is...is there no hope?"

Mr. Liu remained silent.

"I... I'm so done with this! When everything was fine before, everyone was doing great, and we'd call them eighteen times a day to check on them. But now that something's happened, they don't even recognize us anymore!"

Mr. Liu realized something, and as if his spine had been ripped out in an instant, he broke down and cursed, "These are a bunch of beasts! Bastards!"

"...It won't take too long." Boss Liu waited quietly for him to finish venting before saying softly, "I promise, it definitely won't take too long."

"You...you let me in?!"

Young Manager Liu looked at Old Manager Liu in disbelief: "Not a long time? How many years? Three years? Five years? Or ten years?!"

"I'm already this old, I've wasted most of my life, and you want me to go in now?"

“I’ve inquired, and Ling Bingbing and those two artists are fine. You weren’t the one who directly attacked them. The blame lies with the secretary and Yu Yan’s manager, not you. It won’t be long.”

"What if Ikeno continues to target me? What if he sets up an attempted murder charge against me? How long would I have to stay in jail?!"

Mr. Liu shook his head, shouting nervously, "I'm not going, I'm not going, I won't stand up..."

Mr. Liu did not refute him, but his gaze towards him became increasingly pained, yet resolute.

……

Mr. Liu stepped forward.

The following afternoon, at the peak of the incident's online popularity, news broke that Mr. Liu had voluntarily "turned himself in."

Not long afterward, details of the entire "case" were gradually revealed.

First, it has been confirmed that Liu Ting (Yu Yan's current agent) was the one who poisoned the woman. The people behind the scenes who instructed her were Yang Mingming (Liu Ting's secretary), Liu Ting herself, and several other people whose names cannot be revealed.

The poisoning process was crude and simple, and there's not much to go into detail. In short, the suspects were apprehended quickly, but because the case involves many public figures, the authorities have not yet released more details.

Shortly afterward, news broke that Xiao Liu had turned himself in.

At this point, the matter seems to have come to an end.

In reality, the impact and escalation of the matter are far from over.

For example, there are several people who cannot be named, including Zhang Qing, the current head of Tencent Video, and... his inner circle and even some of Tencent Video's core members.

This group of people alone is very difficult to deal with.

Because if you're talking about evidence, these people didn't actually leave any evidence at all. But if we let them off lightly just because there's no evidence, the pressure on Ikeno outside will be too great.

Moreover, Zhang Qing himself was indeed being pointed at, so we must invite him in for a proper chat and questioning.

On the other hand, Tencent headquarters was also very angry about this matter. The combination of various internal and external factors made the follow-up and resolution of this matter very complicated.

"Does this involve so many people?!"

Penguin Video.

The day after Zhang Qing was invited for tea, Wang Hui received a new inspection notice. After politely seeing the person off, he returned to his office and summoned his secretary and several close associates.

"I really didn't expect that."

One of his close associates frowned and said, "I used to think that this was just Zhang Qing's personal problem, and that Yue Na was the one in charge, that he knew about it and even gave instructions, but now it seems..."

Now it seems that things are getting out of control.

With so many company employees "involved in the case," it is unacceptable for both the company and its headquarters.

The headquarters is a world-renowned behemoth, a national-level enterprise. Once this kind of thing is fully exposed, not to mention the impact on the headquarters, all the people at Tencent Video will probably be fired.

This is no joke, and I don't know when to gloat.

If it were just Zhang Qing causing trouble, Wang Hui would be laughing in the middle of the night if he died. But now that things have come to this, it's like the entire video company is rotten, and there will definitely be a major purge from above.

During the Great Purge, will they spare him, the one who is now officially the top leader?
The boss's cleaver doesn't care if you're newly appointed...

"Is it really that bad luck?"

"What should we do now?"

"This matter absolutely cannot be disclosed, otherwise we're all doomed."

The group held a three-hour closed-door meeting in the office and then unanimously concluded that they absolutely could not let this matter slip by completely, or they would all be doomed.

but…

How can we cover this up?
"What did they say?"

Wang Hui's newly promoted deputy frowned: "We can't just really handle things strictly by the book, can we?"

"Not at all."

Wang Hui shook his head: "The headquarters still has influence. The main problem now is that Chi Ye has made a big fuss, and he probably doesn't intend to let go easily. He has to kill everyone who messed with him before he's satisfied."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

“That won’t do,” one person said. “He wants to kill everyone who’s messing with him, but we’ve never messed with him, so he can’t mess with us, right?”

"Can we talk? If not, we can talk to him in person."

Wang Hui paused for a moment, then nodded: "I've already had my secretary contact him."

"Have you received a reply?"

"No."

Everyone was taken aback, and then they all subconsciously felt a little nervous and dissatisfied.

……

Inside a hospital in Shanghai.

"They've even started calling me."

Ling Bingbing lay on the hospital bed, her face rosy, eating a peeled apple as she looked at Chi Ye and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Chino, who had just arrived, was taken aback: "What? What should we do?"

"This is the matter. How far should we investigate it?"

Ikeno paused, then smiled and said, "It's up to you how far you want to investigate."

"You are the victim."

Ling Bingbing shifted her body and changed her posture before saying, "Do I have the right to speak on this, Mr. Chi?"

Her tone was slightly teasing.

Chino said earnestly, "You ate the food for me, of course I did."

Ling Bingbing: "..."

Why does that sound so strange?

Are your two young entertainers alright?

"You didn't die. Luckily you were here. Your allergic reaction was too fast; their medication didn't even have time to take effect."

Ling Bingbing: "..."

After another moment of silence, Ling Bingbing became serious: "I personally suggest you don't pursue this too much... The person who personally administered the drug is already in jail. It's a bit difficult to get someone like Zhang Qing in jail just by using this."

"Moreover, even if you manage to get him arrested, it will be a greater obstacle to your future career development. This time... you're not just facing Zhang Qing."

There are far too many people we can't see.
