You were asked to write a political intrigue drama, but you wrote "Da Ming 1566".

Chapter 101 Ruthless Chen Yu, Little Fairy's Doomsday! Is this the end? I won't allow it!

The air in the conference room fell silent. Liu Mei's words, which she hadn't yet uttered, stuck in her throat.

Speechless with emotion, all he could do was give Chen Yu a thumbs up.

"Teacher Chen, as expected of someone who can write about the Ming Dynasty, you're ruthless indeed." "Death penalty, I never expected that..." Liu Mei said with regret.

"But that probably won't work; it's too outrageous." "But I've thought of an idea."

"Old hands in the film and television industry, including some screenwriters, have all been involved in some shady dealings to relieve stress or seek so-called inspiration, and Ma Yingkui is probably no exception."

"As the head of the screenwriting team at Xiangyu Pictures, he probably also invited some actors to parties." "Yeah, so he went down the route of organizing drug use. Also, there are usually some extra activities when he throws parties. There are probably minors at these kinds of parties in the film and television industry."

"If Ma Ying-kui received money from his party partners, I'll try to classify it as drug trafficking." "With all that combined, the death penalty is unlikely, but life imprisonment is possible, or at least Ma Ying-kui's sentence could be increased to twenty years with no possibility of reduction."

"He's almost fifty this year, isn't he? If things go like this, he'll probably die in jail. Are you satisfied with this plan, Professor Chen?" Hearing Liu Mei's words, Chen Yu finally showed satisfaction and nodded. A twenty-year sentence—that was indeed the case; Ma Yingkui probably wouldn't get out. Even if he did, he'd be almost seventy, probably already suffering from dementia, hardly a threat anymore. After a moment's thought, Chen Yu asked again, "Does Ma Yingkui have children? Does he have a spouse?" These words seemed to send a chill through the conference room. Qin Lan shivered, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at Chen Yu. This Chen Yu, while undeniably a genius, was also truly vengeful! Did he intend to target Ma Yingkui's children and spouse as well?

A hint of sadism flashed in Liu Mei's eyes. She licked her lips, her expression flushed as she looked at Chen Yu. At this moment, Qin Lan quickly spoke up.

"No, Ma Yingkui is quite the womanizer, but he has no wife or children, and even his parents have passed away. I even went to their funerals."

"He associates with a bunch of shady friends, otherwise he wouldn't be so desperate as to beg to return to Xiangyu Film Studio. You can rest assured about Mr. Chen."

"7

Chen Yu nodded, finally feeling relieved.

"Alright, let's do as Consultant Liu says. Thank you so much, Consultant Liu." Liu Mei stared intently at Chen Yu for a while, then suddenly broke into a bright smile. "Teacher Chen, oh no, Boss Chen, I like you so much."

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." At this moment, Ma Yingkui, who had heard the entire conversation on the other end of the phone, went from being shocked and angry at the beginning to being filled with fear instead of anger.

His legs were limp on the ground like mud, and he couldn't stand up at all. Did Chen Yu really want him sentenced to death?

Even if he had a spouse and children, Chen Yu would think about how to get them all in.

Is this a human being?

Holding a grudge like that is going a bit too far! He's got only one thought in his head right now: Was he out of his mind? Why did he have to provoke Chen Yu in the first place?!

Ma Yingkui opened his mouth, as if to beg for mercy. But a busy tone came through, and the call was disconnected.

The next moment, Ma Yingkui felt his head pounding wildly, as if a blood vessel had burst, and he let out a hysterical roar as a wet patch and a foul stench spread from his pants.

He then collapsed and died on the road.

But Chen Yu's "making an example of someone" didn't end after Ma Yingkui.

Li Jieya, the little fairy who was the first to take money to smear Chen Yu, was still completely unaware that the situation had changed and was still diligently smearing Chen Yu and the Ming Dynasty on Weibo.

At this time, she was contacted by another mysterious account.

"If I gave you a million, I mean if, how badly could you smear Chen Yu and the Ming Dynasty?" Upon seeing this question, Li Jieya's eyes revealed a look of wild joy. Having already received 100,000 yuan in bribes, she subconsciously thought that this must be another boss who disliked Chen Yu paying someone to smear him.

Seeing the million figure mentioned by the mysterious account, Li Jieya's eyes gleamed with greed as she eagerly said, "I can make Chen Yu utterly discredited, really, believe me, my account already has a lot of followers." The mysterious account replied leisurely. "Is that so?"

Why don't you give it a try?

"But I need to confirm with you, you know what consequences this will have for Chen Yu and the Ming Dynasty, right?" Li Jieya, who only wanted money, readily admitted it, and even started talking non-stop as if she was afraid that her sugar daddy would be dissatisfied.

For example, Li Jieya talked endlessly about how she caused Chen Yu's mental breakdown, left him with psychological trauma, and damaged the reputation of the Ming Dynasty.

At this point, the mysterious account seemed satisfied and told Li Jieya to post a few messages to test the waters, after which he would transfer the money depending on the situation. Seeing this, Li Jieya's eyes lit up, and she immediately edited several more messages containing vicious insults against Chen Yu and the TV series "Da Ming Dynasty," which she then posted on Weibo.

Then, she quickly said to the mysterious account, "Boss, I've sent it, please take a look." "If there are no problems, let's discuss how to pay?" But the next moment, something unexpected happened. The mysterious account actually replied.

"Payment? Pay for what?"

"What era are we living in? We value moral character. I told you from the beginning that I'd give you a million. If you didn't understand, I didn't give you any reward or promise. I was just joking!"

"I even asked you if you knew what the consequences would be, and you explained it so logically. How was I supposed to know you would knowingly commit such a crime?"

Li Jieya was stunned. She wanted to continue arguing with the mysterious account, but then a red exclamation mark appeared. Before she could react, there was a loud knocking on the door of her rented apartment. "Police!"

"You are suspected of a serious case of cyberbullying, causing significant losses to the victim. The evidence is conclusive. Open the door immediately and cooperate with our investigation!"

The fairy-like Li Jieya's face turned deathly pale in an instant. She finally realized that she had been tricked into a trap.

But she still held onto a sliver of hope. Cyberbullying wasn't uncommon; she was a woman, and all she'd get was a public apology and a few days of administrative detention.

It's acceptable, it's acceptable. But when she was taken to the police station and a lawyer explained the situation to her, Li Jieya was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.

"According to statistics, your insults against Chen Yu personally and the Ming Dynasty exceeded 300, which triggered tens of thousands of reposts and comments, and more than 100,000 likes."

"These statements are seriously inconsistent with the facts, insult Chen Yu's character, and have caused Chen Yu a huge negative impact, far exceeding the standards for criminal prosecution."

"At the same time, this has also seriously affected the commercial value of the Ming Dynasty. The contract amount of the Ming Dynasty is 100 million yuan, and the plaintiff is now demanding that you compensate 10% of its commercial value in proportion."

The defense lawyer looked at Li Jieya with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"Under normal circumstances, it's not that we can't talk about it. Ignorance is no excuse, so we can make some concessions and reduce the compensation ratio accordingly."

"But the most crucial thing now is that there is evidence that you are fully aware of the impact your words will have on the Ming Dynasty and Chen Yu, and that you have a clear understanding of the immense value of the Ming Dynasty."

"Now even a god can't help you. You've committed the crime of unfair business competition, and the court probably won't allow that percentage to be lowered."

"You'd better prepare ten million right away. If you don't have ten million, you'll need at least eight million. If you can't come up with that money, you'll be in jail for at least five years."

Upon hearing this astronomical figure, Li Jieya collapsed on the spot. Ten thousand could kill her, ten million? She couldn't come up with that even if she sold herself! At this moment, Li Jieya screamed like a madwoman. "How can this be?" "I'm just expressing my feelings, and now I'm not even allowed to express myself? The law is unfair, this law is unfair, it needs to be changed, it needs to be changed!" But no matter how frantically she acted, it was useless in the detention center. Soon, a pair of glittering silver bracelets were put on her wrists, and she awaited the court hearing.

Meanwhile, in the conference room, Chen Yu, who had just witnessed Liu Mei's actions, also showed a satisfied expression.

It's quite annoying to have flies buzzing around all the time. But now, thanks to Liu Mei's actions, she truly lives up to her self-proclaimed title of "litigation expert." It seems that no foreign-worshipping fairy will dare to bark so recklessly from now on.

Liu Mei's lips curled into a disdainful smile. "Are these little fairies idiots?" "Is their brain controlled by Blue Mood?"

"It's obviously a trap, yet they're taking the bait one after another." "Alright, it's all taken care of. Those twenty or so who were cursing the loudest won't be able to be called out anymore." "Boss Chen, I'll go make the preparations so they can stay in jail for a few more years."

At this moment, many viewers in Chen Yu's live stream were still arguing with those pro-Western "little fairies" online. But they suddenly discovered that the Weibo accounts of those most vocal pro-Western "little fairies" had all fallen silent, and some had even been deleted.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, they saw announcements posted online by police in some areas. Only then did they realize what had happened.

It wasn't that these Western-worshipping fairies had a change of heart; they've all been arrested! This brought a sense of satisfaction to the audience who had been disgusted by these Western-worshipping fairies for so long. "Well done!" "Hilarious! I always thought it was strange; what normal person would go to such lengths to criticize a show like this? They must have been paid off."

"Now that they've been arrested, this is what you call divine justice!" While the audience was cheering, the top executives of the leading film and television companies behind the scenes, including the executives of Huaying Film Company and Guo Gang of the Screenwriters Association, were not laughing at all.

They certainly found out some inside information. Ma Yingkui had already been blacklisted by the entire industry, but Chen Yu wasn't letting him go; he was aiming to get him sentenced to life imprisonment.

None of those fairies were spared; they were all hooked and will all have to wait at least three to five years. Their lives are over.

Chen Yu, that's really ruthless!

This weighed heavily on their hearts. Given Chen Yu's vengeful and ruthless nature, could he possibly swallow this insult after they had outmaneuvered him? Impossible!

If Chen Yu were mediocre, that would be one thing, but the talent he's showing now surpasses even that of Xiao Tuo back then.

If they waited for Chen Yu to continue developing his power before launching an attack, the thought of the scene sent shivers down their spines. After a moment's hesitation, they all made the same decision: to back down, they really had to back down.

Even the top executives of Huaying Film Company gritted their teeth and called Qin Lan, expressing their hope that the matter would end there. They also offered Chen Yu and the Ming Dynasty some resources as compensation.

Even the competition for a spot within the Ming Dynasty's system could be discussed. However, when Qin Lan looked at Chen Yu with a probing gaze, Chen Yu's expression remained cold. "You started this whole thing, and now you think it's over?"

He said, word by word, "I...do...not...allow." "This round continues."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's reply, the executive on the other end of the phone was furious. He said with a dark expression, "Is this not over yet?" "Fine, you'll regret it." After hanging up, the executive could no longer contain himself, slamming his phone to the ground and roaring angrily. "Does this Chen Yu really think he's someone special?" "We've already given him a step back, such a good attitude, yet he still doesn't know his place!" "Does he really think that a top-tier company like Huaying can't control a rookie screenwriter from a second-tier company? He just didn't want the hassle, but since Chen Yu is so arrogant, we have to teach him a lesson."

"If we don't let him know his name, how can Huaying maintain its standing in the industry? We'll become a laughing stock!" Then, after a moment's hesitation, the Huaying executive dialed a number. "Master Wang, I know you're on vacation. I'm so sorry to bother you in your busy schedule." "It's like this, the company is facing a small problem, and I'm afraid we need Master Wang's help."

"It's a new screenwriter named Chen Yu who is too arrogant. He doesn't respect the company at all. He said he would never let Huaying go and that he wanted to be the top of the best drama list and trample all the veteran screenwriters under his feet."
