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

The fake medical record was obtained from a private clinic she got through connections.

I initially thought it was just a public relations tactic, but I didn't expect Jiang Chen to be able to guess this and even point out the legal consequences!

Seeing her expression, Jiang Chen knew the time was right, so he added another strong dose of medicine.

"There's also the issue of dual contracts."

"Han Zihe has the materials he wants to use to negotiate a new profit-sharing agreement with the company."

"You were afraid things would escalate, so you deleted his phone and destroyed evidence while simultaneously fabricating a medical record to seal the deal!"

Do you know what this means?

Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

At this moment, Li Xue's mind went blank, and she shook her head in a daze.

"Hehe..." Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

"This means that the problem lies entirely in the artist management process, and has nothing to do with legal or financial matters."

"Once things get out of control, the first person to be pushed out to take the blame will be your direct manager!"

"If there's falsification of medical records or mismanagement, it'll all be your fault!"

Li Xue's face paled, and she pondered seriously for a moment.

It seems that Jiang Chen has a point!

"You've been in this industry for ten years, building up your network and reputation. You can't let yourself end up taking the blame for someone else, can you?"

His words, spoken slowly and deliberately, struck at Li Xue's weak spot with every single one.

Her fingers, gripping the coffee cup, had turned white, and her chest rose and fell slightly, clearly indicating that she was weighing the pros and cons.

The private room was quiet for a while, with only the soft sound of a coffee spoon hitting the side of the cup.

"I'm giving you a chance. After all, if you cooperate, you can still try to get leniency."

"If you don't cooperate, the lawsuit will still go ahead, but if you lose in the end, you'll be the only one taking the blame!"

"Do you want to take the blame and be the sole scapegoat, or drag others down with you?"

In both cases, Li Xue will inevitably be punished.

But she couldn't swallow this insult!

Why should she take the blame for someone else?

She's not the only one who benefits from this situation!

After a long while, Li Xue sighed heavily, her whole body slumped against the back of her chair like a deflated balloon.

"You win."

She looked up at Jiang Chen, her tone tinged with helplessness.

"The day before the incident, Han Zihe went to the vice president's office with a stack of documents."

"He said he would either renegotiate the contract and increase the profit sharing to 50%, or expose the dual contracts and tax evasion to the tax authorities."

"We talked for almost two hours that day, but it broke down in the end."

"The vice president made some harsh remarks, but I didn't hear exactly what he said. All I know is that when Han Zihe came out, his face was as white as a sheet, and his eyes were glazed over."

"After I got back, I just sat in the practice room in a daze, and the next day..."

She stopped there and shook her head.

That's all I know. I don't know anything else, and I can't say anything more.

Although the specific details weren't mentioned, that's enough.

Han Zihe's fall from the building is directly related to this negotiation and the company's strong pressure!

Jiang Chen nodded calmly: "That's enough."

"I'm certain of this!"

Looking at his indifferent expression, Li Xue gave a bitter laugh, her tone tinged with a hint of regret.

"What goes around comes around."

"When you signed with me, I controlled everything – the contract, the schedule, the resources – and I had a lot of control over you."

"I never expected that so little time would pass and I would be the one in control."

When she was managing Jiang Chen, she used contracts and resources to pressure him a lot.

She thought the other person would never escape her grasp.

Who would have thought that after switching careers to become a lawyer, he would eventually rise above her!

"I have no intention of manipulating you."

Jiang Chen put his phone back on the table, his tone calm and without a trace of smugness.

"I'm investigating this not to get revenge on anyone, nor is it targeting you; I just want to get justice for Zihe."

"We can't let him die a perfectly normal person burdened with the stigma of depression and rebellion, with no one even knowing the truth about his exploitation!"

"You're just an employee, and you do a lot of things according to the company's instructions. I didn't intend to drag you into this."

"As long as you don't help the company cover up the truth, this matter ends with you."

Li Xue was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting him to say that.

She thought Jiang Chen would find something to use against her, forcing her to hand over more internal information, or even forcing her to testify in court.

Unexpectedly, the other party stopped there and even said something fair.

She opened her mouth, but after a long pause, she could only manage to utter, "You... are different from before."

Jiang Chen didn't reply, but simply picked up his coffee cup and took a small sip.

It's natural that they're different.

Back then, he was a trainee who was manipulated; now, he is a lawyer wielding legal weapons.

Jiang Chen picked up his coat from the back of the chair and got up to say goodbye.

"That's all for now, I'll be going."

Li Xue subconsciously looked up: "Where are you going?"

"Police station," Jiang Chen said calmly, "to formally file a criminal report!"

Li Xue was suddenly startled.

Her hand gripping the coffee cup tightened suddenly, spilling a few drops of brown coffee onto the off-white tablecloth.

She opened her mouth, intending to retort, "Are you crazy?"

But the words stuck in his throat and he swallowed them back down.

She knew better than anyone that what the company had done over the years couldn't withstand close scrutiny.

If we dig deeper along the trail of malicious pressure and dual contracts, sooner or later we'll uncover even more shady dealings!

In the end, she simply leaned back in her chair, looked out the window, and neither stopped her nor responded.

Just watch as Jiang Chen opened the door to the private room and disappeared into the end of the corridor.

She was left alone in the private room, and her heart grew increasingly bitter.

A few hours later, Jiang Chen returned to the law firm.

I have already informed Chen Qiaowei by phone that I went to report the case.

Therefore, when Jiang Chen returned, Chen Qiaowei immediately came to greet him.

"Attorney Jiang, what did the police say? Have they accepted the case?"

"The materials have been submitted. Let's do a preliminary registration." Jiang Chen didn't linger and walked towards his office.

"I'll do a live stream for a bit and update my viewers on the progress!"

The number of viewers surged to tens of thousands within minutes of the live stream starting!

The screen was filled with comments, all asking questions about the case.

Attorney Jiang is back! Any news?

I saw Han Zihe's medical records yesterday; they must be fake!

[I feel the same way. Han Zihe is always so cheerful at events, how could he possibly have depression!]

[Tsk tsk tsk! If this is really a forged medical record, then that's going too far!]

When will Star Entertainment finally get its comeuppance? I can't wait!

[Attorney Jiang, please update me on the progress! I've been waiting all day!]

I'm really curious about the truth of this matter!

Jiang Chen looked solemn as he faced the camera.

"Here, I'll briefly update you on the latest developments."

"This afternoon, I submitted a criminal report to the local police station as Han Zihe's family representative."

"The reason for the report is that executives of Star Entertainment have been threatening Han Zihe with industry blacklisting, exorbitant breach of contract fees, and exposure of his personal privacy for a long time, which has led to his emotional breakdown and death by falling from a building."

"Suspected of negligent homicide!"
