Chapter 126 Michael: Feed me peanuts~
In the summer, in Michael's second-floor suite at his villa, there was a map of New York on the table, two landlines and three cell phones, and photos and information of more than a dozen people on the wall...

He kept answering and making phone calls, while Peggy followed his instructions to change information on the wall, tie red threads, and stick on sticky labels...

Milan was in charge of their food and fruit, helping out as a go-between.

In the summer, I would occasionally use three different colored markers to make various marks on the map.

He would also occasionally pick up an empty tortoise shell from the side of the table, shake it a few times, and then throw out the three Statue of Liberty one-dollar coins with flowing hair inside!

This was the first $1 coin issued, minted between 1794 and 1795. It's considered an antique coin in the US, perfect for using in divination in America...

After casting the divination sticks in the summer, he consulted the compass and map, then started making phone calls: "Hey, Sweet, I need to find someone at 107 Beirut Avenue in Queens..."

“I don’t know who he is, but I know he knows… I don’t care how you convince him, but I need you to get him to take you to that man’s ex-wife…”

Sweet is a well-known private investigator in New York.

He does all sorts of services, from helping people find evidence of infidelity to locating missing persons and gathering information.

If you pay him more, he'll do other things that aren't entirely legal.

After hanging up Xia Tian's call, Sweet muttered under his breath, "Damn Chinese!"

If it weren't for the high pay, I really wouldn't want to work for him!

So secretive, jumping from one thing to another! What a waste of time!
I'd rather have $100,000 and I'd go "persuade" that man!

That man is the one who falsely accused Michael.

Sweet knocked on the door according to the address, only to be answered by a black boy of about twelve or thirteen years old.
"Damn it!" Sweet cursed inwardly.

"Are you the only one in this house?"

"That's right, what do you want?" The little black boy was quite bold.

“Uh…” Sweet, true to his professional ethics, pulled a photograph from his jacket pocket. “Kid, do you know her? If you can tell me where she is, the $50 is yours!”

The little Black boy's eyes lit up. "I know! Ms. White!"

"Great!" Sweet was overjoyed. There really was news?!
That despicable Chinese man actually found it! How did he do that?!

The little Black boy was even happier than him, grinning, "But I want $100!"

Damn it! You little brat, do you even know how much $100 is?
That's enough for me to hire a bunch of thugs to beat you up ten times over!

However, Sweet still gave it to them because the expenses for this activity could be reimbursed.

He found the man's ex-wife: "Madam, my employer needs your help, but it's not free..."

People like Sweet manage a dozen or so at the same time in the summer, collecting all the useful information and data like weaving a net.

Three days later, Xia Tian finally obtained the definitive evidence, and had also collected almost all the other information.

Summer watched the images on the TV screen and then ejected the videotape.

"very good!"

"Peggy, settle the bill for our friends and thank them for their hard work! We don't let our friends down!"

In three days, $26 was spent, and what was obtained were five paper bags of documents, a box of surveillance videotapes, and a direct witness!
Summer found Michael and Sony with the evidence and documents. "This is what we need. I'm sure you can handle the rest?"

After Sony's head in the US reviewed the surveillance footage, he was so excited he almost jumped for joy!
"Don't worry, Mr. Charlotte, with this, we're sure to win!"

"If it's just about winning, then I'll have to question Sony's power. Is winning enough against a rogue?" Xia Tian said, leaning back on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking dissatisfied.

The half-Chinese, half-American head of Sony Music America immediately gave me a knowing look.

"I understand! Don't worry, we'll show him the power of capital!"

“Then it’s up to you. Mike, come with me. I think you need a good night’s sleep. Don’t get involved in this…”

As I said before, idols and celebrities should not get involved in this kind of thing, otherwise they will suffer regardless of whether they win or lose.

Let Sony demonstrate the power of capital in this capitalist country.

A top-three law firm in the US will teach that greedy fool a lesson.

……

Sony quickly sued the man and then presented crucial surveillance footage in court—the footage showed the man repeatedly leading his son to say things that falsely accused Michael…

Sony also had another witness, a doctor who was an acquaintance of this man.

He prescribed some psychiatric medication to the man, who then gave it to his son…

In addition, there were some of the man's medical reports, physical examination reports, detention certificates, and so on.

There were also testimonies from his ex-wife, former colleagues, and friends from his cell…

He has been proven to have spent three months in jail for domestic violence, and also suffers from bipolar disorder and drug addiction...

Sony sued him for falsely accusing Michael, which severely damaged Sony Music's brand image and caused huge brand losses...

He'll be taken care of by one of the top-ranked legal teams in the US, and he'll be in jail for at least 10 years!
What? Compensation for reduced sentence?

If he could come up with 300 million in compensation, would he need to frame Michael?
The man was devastated and begged Michael to give him another chance. But Michael didn't even show up; the plaintiff was Sony Music.
In the summer, Mike was also given a chance to speak out, saying that the children were innocent, that he was suffering from severe psychological trauma and depression, and that he hadn't slept for three days, etc.

Michael: Look at my dark circles!
The TV presenter, who is also Black: ...

Meanwhile, let some Black radio stations and media outlets promote it... Let's have fun! Sing the song that suits the hilltop~
Summer is several versions ahead!

……

Summer also wrote a song for Mike, which Mike loved and was very excited when he received it!
They also planned to choreograph a dance, and in the summer, they suggested he release a single, and the dance would be broadcast on television.

Money doesn't matter, the main thing is to fight back! We need to show those potential enemies the "knife" in our hands!
The song is called "Enemy," and it is the global theme song for the 2021 League of Legends animated series "League of Legends: Battle of Two Cities."

"Live for yourself (look it up on Bilibili if you're interested)"

Without realizing it, I found that silence could make me...

Freedom of thought, keen insight into impending change.

Let me see who it is that's smiling at me.
He stabbed me in the back and spouted complete fabrication.

Praise yourself as the best in front of others
The most wicked thing is to curse you behind your back.
Ah~ I'm so sad
Everyone wants to be my enemy.

Stop pretending

It's what everyone wants
Be my enemy
......"

The song focuses on the crisis of trust that the chaotic external world brings to oneself, making it very suitable for this time.

Mike choreographed a dance—stage lights chased after him, but countless men in black, whose faces he couldn't see, attacked him repeatedly from all sides, and he got up and roared again and again!

It's so energetic when it's in sync with the song's rhythm!
Summer: That's right, defeat your enemies the way you're best at! Show everyone that you're not someone to be trifled with!
However, the children's amusement park he started is really not suitable to continue operating, at least not in its current business model.

It's better to hand it over to a professional amusement park management team. At most, we can lower the ticket price and turn it into a semi-public children's park.

Worried about crowds? Just limit the number of reservations! As long as it can keep things running normally, it's fine.

A series of combined measures were launched in the summer, and the public opinion shifted rapidly!

Michael is, after all, an international superstar. After taking a series of blows in the summer, countless fans and dancers spoke up for him, and the entire public opinion field supported him!

This is summer's swift and decisive action, a timely and forceful tactic.

If it were handled like in the original timeline, countless people would see this as a piece of fat meat and keep trying to tear it apart.

After all, Michael was really rich, and he was a real fat guy!

—In the world of capital, if you're not sitting at the table, you're sitting on it.

Therefore, people still need friends, circles of friends, and the ability to resist; otherwise, you have no value! Anyone might come along and kick you while you're down!
Milan followed Summer closely throughout the entire process and naturally witnessed all of Summer's actions.

She was even more open-minded about this than Xia Tian was; after all, she was a child of a privileged family, and she was exposed to these kinds of things from a young age.

Peace is achieved through struggle; peace is lost through compromise.

Many people don't realize this.

……

Moreover, she and Peggy witnessed Summer's "mystical" method of finding people throughout the entire process.

Peggy was alright; in her view, the entire East was mysterious. It's normal for summer to be a little mysterious.

But Milan knows what's going on, right?
"How come you can tell fortunes?" she asked.

Xia Tian retorted, "Nonsense! Was I fortune-telling? I was just flipping a coin!"

In the end, he convinced Milan through his actions—making her understand that fortune-telling is not bound by lust!
Actions speak louder than words.
With Michael's matter resolved, it's finally time for summer to end.

Peggy felt a pang of reluctance; the three of them had lived and eaten together for some time. With Milan on one side and Summer on the other, she deeply missed the warmth of home…

Sister Lan is good in every way.
"Let go of Peggy! Come at me if you have a problem!"

"Peggy, I'm useless..."

Peggy: Sis?!
Peggy learned a lot of new things from Milan, such as: what to do if you feel down and depressed in the summer.
Milan smiled and pulled her hair up, demonstrating for her.

Another example……

Peggy discovered that she still had a lot to learn...

Before leaving in the summer, he gave Little Pilo a script called "The Hunt".

It tells the story of a man in a town who is falsely accused by a little girl, but everyone thinks that the child cannot lie.

"But my house doesn't have a basement at all!"

But everyone had stopped caring about the truth and had fallen into a hunting mentality...

Finally, someone, whose back was to the sun, fired a shot that killed the man.

"Did you see who fired the shot?"

"I can't see clearly; he stands on a moral high ground, he's in the sunlight."

Summer instructed, "Let Michael play a small supporting role, and give him a special thanks at the end..."

Little Pyrrho grinned and said, "Summer, you did a fantastic job! Haha, awesome!"
