The Peninsula chaebol started by rescuing Samsung's little princess.

Chapter 95 Do you believe in light?

Do you believe in light?

If it were her past self, Jang Ja-yeon would say she doesn't believe it!

But now, trapped in darkness, she yearns for light.

At this moment, the person in front of her is the light she has been waiting for.

In a secluded café in Gangnam, Seoul, Jang Ja-yeon looked at the man across from her and asked emotionally, "Can you really help me leave the company?"

"Of course, if you can help me, I can help you!"

Sitting opposite her was Li Haorong.

"Ziyan unnie, don't worry, the president always keeps her word!"

Yu Chengyan, who was standing nearby, also chimed in.

Looking at Yu Chengyan, Zhang Ziyan's excited heart finally calmed down a lot.

After a sleepless night, Zhang Ziyan woke up in the morning to find a text message on her phone from Yu Chengyan.

The text message simply asked her to meet at this coffee shop today and told her she absolutely had to come; it said nothing else.

Trusting her younger sister, Jang Ja-yeon arrived, only to discover that Yoo Seung-yeon wasn't alone there.

Zhang Ziyan initially harbored resentment towards Chengyan. She told Chengyan her secret in the hope that Chengyan would keep it a secret for her.

As a result, in just one day, another person found out!

That mouth is way too big!

But what Li Haorong said next made Zhang Ziyan extremely excited.

"Do you want to leave your current entertainment company? I can help you!"

These words made Zhang Ziyan feel as if she could see the light.

"What do I have to give in return?"

Zhang Ziyan suppressed her excitement and tried to keep her tone as calm as possible.

Having been toughened up by society, Zhang Ziyan is no longer the innocent girl she once was.

She knew that the other person couldn't help her out of kindness, but only because she was of value to them.

Upon hearing Zhang Ziyan's words, Li Haorong felt a slight sense of approval. It seemed that she wasn't hopelessly stupid, and was much better than Yu Chengyan beside him.

"Next time, if Im Woo-jae contacts you again, film a video of you two and send it to me. It has to be a video of him forcing you!"

Li Haorong took out a Sony HDR-HC1 type DV camera from his bag and placed it on the table.

Looking at the DV camera, which was about the size of a basketball shoe, Li Haorong felt helpless.

This was already the smallest DV camera with decent performance for its time.

Even if it's small, without night vision and with too low a resolution, the video it shoots will look like a mosaic and be completely useless!

This also made him incredibly nostalgic for the era of hidden cameras—ugh, why would I miss that? I'm not a pervert!

Upon hearing this, Yu Chengyan and Zhang Ziyan were both startled.

Especially Yu Chengyan, last night Li Haorong only told her that he could help Zhang Ziyan, but he needed to meet Zhang Ziyan, and he didn't say anything else.

Yu Chengyan didn't think much of it and brought Li Haorong with her.

Hearing this, Yu Chengyan felt betrayed by Li Haorong and angrily retorted, "President, how could you do this—"

"I'll do it!"

Before Chengyan could finish speaking, Zhang Ziyan placed her hand directly on the DV camera.

But before she could take the DV away, a large hand covered Zhang Ziyan's hand; it was Li Haorong.

"You need to think this through. If this happens, your fate will be dire, and I won't be able to help you much during that time!"

Despite Li Haorong's warning, Zhang Ziyan simply removed his hand and said calmly, "It can't get any worse!"

The words were spoken so softly that if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't hear what Zhang Ziyan was saying at all.

These words were heavy, so heavy that they weighed on Li Haorong's heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

He could hardly imagine what this girl had gone through to say such a thing!

Even though Li Haorong didn't consider himself a saint, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her at this moment.

He sighed and added, "You're a strong girl. Don't worry, as long as you can help me accomplish this, whatever kind of life you want afterward, I can give it to you!"

"Yes, sir!"

Zhang Ziyan sincerely thanked him.

She knew who Li Haorong was; she already knew he had this ability when Yu Chengyan complained to her!

"No need to thank me, it's just a fair exchange of interests!"

However, Zhang Ziyan shook her head after hearing this, and looked sincerely at Li Haorong: "I didn't even have a chance to exchange before! As long as there is hope of survival, I will not give up!"

Upon hearing this, Li Haorong was startled.

Although this was his first meeting with Jang Ja-yeon, he sensed a strong will to survive emanating from her.

What kind of things did this girl go through before she finally committed suicide in despair?

A question arose in Li Haorong's mind.

In fact, Li Haorong's concerns were valid.

In the original timeline, Jang Ja-yeon did not commit suicide because she could not bear the torment; rather, it was because of the suicide note that she chose to commit suicide!

In fact, until three hours before her suicide, all she wanted was to terminate her contract with the company.

Her so-called suicide note was not a suicide note at all, but a document used to negotiate for her life.

After all, who would sign their name, ID number, stamp their seal, and put their fingerprint on their will?

In fact, the suicide note was actually tricked into writing by her agent, Liu Changhao.

At that time, Liu Changhao left TheContents and started his own new company.

Meanwhile, Lee Mi-sook, an artist from her former agency, signed with Yoo Chang-ho after her contract expired, preparing to switch agencies.

But at this moment, Li Meishu was caught red-handed by her former company. She was having an affair with a male escort 17 years her junior behind her husband's back, and it was her former company that helped her get out of it.

Therefore, in order to find leverage against Kim Seung-hoon, the two set their sights on Jang Ja-yeon.

They lied to Jang Ja-yeon, saying that if she wrote everything down herself, she could guarantee that it wouldn't be leaked and that she could terminate her contract with the company.

Trusting her former manager, Jang Ja-yeon actually wrote down the document.

However, after obtaining the document, Liu Changhao used it to threaten political and business figures who had had relationships with Zhang Ziyan.

Even on March 7, when Liu Changhao contacted Zhang Ziyan's former clients, he specifically sent her a text message.

It was this text message that made Jang Ja-yeon realize that she had been tricked, and not only was she unable to escape her misery, but her secrets were also about to be made public.

So, three hours after receiving this text message, she chose to commit suicide.

Even after Jang Ja-yeon's death, Liu Changhao still had no intention of letting her go. He gave her suicide note to her sister, intending to use her as a tool to kill her.

But her sister burned the suicide note to protect her younger sister's reputation.

However, Liu Changhao had a copy, which he gave directly to KBS television. It was only after the television station reported on it that the case came to a complete head.

Unfortunately, in the end, none of the 31 people on the list could be prosecuted due to insufficient evidence, and only two were sentenced:

One of them was the boss, Kim Seung-hoon, who was sentenced to 160 hours of community service and fined 2400 million won.

One is Liu Changhao, who was sentenced to four months in prison for defamation.

"Here's a piece of advice: before you use this DV camera, study it thoroughly and familiarize yourself with it. Otherwise, you might only have one chance!"

After saying those words, Li Haorong left. He didn't want to stay there any longer; every second he looked at the girl, his heart ached more.

But there's nothing I can do; that's the entertainment industry on the Korean Peninsula. Even if I save one Jang Ja-yeon, there are countless others like her.

According to statistics from later generations, 15% of female entertainers on the peninsula had similar experiences.

With so many people, how many can I save?

After Li Haorong left, Yu Chengyan looked at Zhang Ziyan, who had made up her mind, and couldn't help but hold her hand, saying, "Sister, how could you agree to something so dangerous?"

"Sung-yeon, you don't understand. I prayed every day that I would do anything to save me from this misery!"

In comparison, recording a video is already quite simple!

At this point, Zhang Ziyan smiled at Yu Chengyan and gave her a reassuring look.
