Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.

After learning about Han Zihe's experience at the company, Zhou Guilan became even more determined to file a lawsuit.

"Money is secondary. I just want everyone to know that my son isn't some rebellious, depressed bad kid; he's being bullied by his company!"

"He worked honestly and cleanly; he shouldn't die with a bad reputation."

"Not just for him, but also for all the children like him, we can't let these heartless companies continue to exploit people like this!"

"Attorney Jiang, just go ahead and fight. I trust you. We'll be there for you no matter how long it takes!"

"Okay." Jiang Chen said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will do my best!"

After hanging up the phone, the office was quiet for a few seconds.

Chen Qiaowei had just finished notifying the abnormal accounts when she looked up at Jiang Chen: "Is everything alright with Auntie?"

"No problem." Jiang Chen put down his phone, his gaze returning to the thick stack of bank statements, his eyes sharpening.

"This is just the first step."

"Irregular cost allocation is just the tip of the iceberg; there are many more hidden issues, such as dual contracts and tax problems."

A cold, sharp smile curved at the corners of his lips.

"Take your time, we'll calculate it one by one and check it one by one."

"What Star Entertainment tries to hide will always be exposed!"

Chen Qiaowei pointed to the thick ledger with her fingertip, her brows furrowing slightly: "But with just this evidence of misallocated costs, we can only recover the deducted wages; we still can't pin the fall on us."

"The company insists it's due to personal depression, and we have no direct evidence..."

What they need to prove now is that Han Zihe's fall from the building was related to the company.

In reality, they are only making inferences and do not have any concrete evidence.

Regardless of whether this matter exists or not, even if Han Zihe's fall from the building is indeed related to Xingchen Entertainment.

These clues won't be easy to find!

Jiang Chen certainly understood this principle.

He slowly put down his pen, looked up and smiled: "Evidence won't come to you by itself; you have to go find it."

"Sister Chen, I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, how could I not have any connections?"

"Star Entertainment looks like a solid block, but there are plenty of staff members inside, and quite a few of them are influential."

He paused for a moment, then started scrolling through his phone's contacts.

"Back when I was still with the company, there were tons of negative rumors and jokes circulating online, but I got along well with the staff in private and wasn't arrogant at all."

"So, I have a good relationship with many of my junior assistants, stylists, and stagehands, and we keep in touch privately."

As he spoke, he pointed to a number labeled "Xiaoyu" and dialed it.

Meanwhile, in the break room of Star Entertainment's office building.

The young filming assistant, Xiaoyu, was looking down at his phone, scrolling through news articles about Han Zihe, which made him feel uneasy.

Suddenly, his phone screen lit up.

The incoming call notification displayed the name "Jiang Chen." Upon seeing this name, he was so startled that his hand trembled, and he almost dropped his phone.

He looked around hurriedly to make sure no one was watching before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, clutching his phone, he dashed to the stairwell in the fire escape and only dared to answer the call after confirming that no one was there.

His voice was very low, filled with panic.

"Jiang...Brother Jiang? Why are you calling me!"

"The company forbids us from discussing Zihe's affairs with outsiders privately. If they find out, I'll be fired!"

The employees, of course, knew about Jiang Chen's recent affairs with the company.

Jiang Chen took the initiative to call him, and of course he knew why!

"What's the panic?"

Jiang Chen's voice was calm, "I'm asking you, what was Han Zihe's condition like before the accident? You followed him every day and know best."

"I...I don't know..." Xiaoyu stammered, "The company said it's depression..."

"Depression?" Jiang Chen's tone lifted slightly. "You followed him every day, noting how many events he went on, who he met, and what he said."

"Whether he has depression or not, you know best in your heart."

"Xiaoyu, let me remind you, you are his filming assistant, accompanying him throughout the entire process."

"If this were to be investigated seriously, you wouldn't be able to escape responsibility for knowing the truth but failing to report it, or even helping the company cover up the facts!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu froze instantly, his voice trembling: "I... I'm just a worker, it has nothing to do with me..."

"I know it has nothing to do with you, and I didn't intend to drag you into it," Jiang Chen said, softening his tone to reassure everyone.

"I just want the truth, to give the family an explanation."

"Think about it, Han Zihe treated you well, didn't he? Now that he's gone, the company is blaming him for everything, saying he was rebellious and depressed. Can you really bear to watch him take the blame even after he's gone?"

"Besides, you've seen how the company operates: when something goes wrong, they push the blame onto the artists or the lower-level employees."

"If this really blows up, the first person to be pushed out to take the blame will be a low-level assistant like you. If you try to clarify things now, you're just trying to clear your name!"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, with only Xiaoyu's heavy breathing.

After a long while, he finally spoke, his voice low and trembling with tears in his eyes.

"I'll talk... I'll talk, okay...?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he told everything he knew.

"In the last month, Brother Zihe was called to Sister Li Xue's office for a talk almost every week. Every time he came back, he was pale and sat in the car for a long time without saying a word."

"He came back to me once and complained that the company was a bloodsucker, that they controlled all the accounts, and that even if he worked there for ten years, he still wouldn't be able to pay off the ten million yuan penalty for breach of contract."

"Three days before the incident, he secretly asked me... if he had a falling out with the company, would he really be blacklisted by the entire industry and never be able to get any work again?"

"The night before the accident, he was still revising the lyrics of his new song, saying that he would release the single once the contract was finalized."

"Then, in the middle of the night, Sister Li Xue called and scolded him, saying that he was ungrateful and that the company had wasted its time training him."

"After hanging up the phone, he sat on the balcony smoking for half the night..."

Xiao Yu's voice trailed off as she spoke, her voice trembling with tears: "That's all I know about Brother Jiang, I really don't know anything else."

"Don't tell anyone I told you, I still have a job in this business..."

"Don't worry, it won't involve you," Jiang Chen said in a deep voice. "Thanks."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaoyu slid down against the wall in the fire escape, covered his face, and let out a long sigh.

Back to the law firm.

Chen Qiaowei's eyes lit up: "Wow, Lawyer Jiang! That's a breakthrough!"

"With the assistant's testimony, it at least proves that the company has been putting pressure on Han Zihe for a long time, and it wasn't a sudden case of depression at all!"

Jiang Chen didn't speak, but swiped his finger twice more in the contacts list, stopping at a name.

"Having an assistant isn't enough." He looked up at Chen Qiaowei, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Besides the filming assistant, there's also a stylist who interacts with the artist every day."

As he spoke, he dialed the number saved as "Lin Man".

The phone rang a few times, and a cheerful female voice, tinged with surprise, came from the other end.

"Brother Jiang? What a rare guest! What brings you to call me?"

"Uh, no, I should call you Attorney Jiang now!"
