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

Jiang Chen held his phone, raising an eyebrow slightly, clearly somewhat surprised.

He anticipated that Li Xue would be dissatisfied.

Unexpectedly, she dared to produce core evidence and completely break ties with the company!

After a moment's thought, Jiang Chen nodded.

"I can accept the evidence, but let me make this clear from the outset."

"If there are problems with the materials, not only will you fail to bring down Star Entertainment, but you will also bear legal responsibility yourself!"

In the judicial system, falsifying evidence is a very serious offense.

Li Xue gave a cold laugh on the other end of the phone, her tone carrying a sense of resolute determination.

"Whether it's real or not, you'll know when you see it for yourself tomorrow."

"I'll go to your law firm tomorrow morning, and I'll bring everything I need."

"Whether it's true or false, you'll know at a glance!"

The call ended abruptly without any hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen and Chen Qiaowei exchanged a glance.

"Then... let's wait and see?" Chen Qiaowei hesitated.

"Take a look."

……

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning.

Li Xue arrived at the law firm entrance on time.

This time, she didn't have the exquisite makeup she had a few days ago. She wore a simple black trench coat, and her eyes showed dark circles from staying up all night.

She looked much more haggard.

When Chen Qiaowei led her into Jiang Chen's office, she was only holding a small encrypted USB drive in her hand, nothing else.

"Please sit down."

Jiang Chen gestured for her to sit down, and Chen Qiaowei poured a glass of warm water and pushed it over to her.

Without any formalities, Li Xue sat down and handed the USB drive to Jiang Chen.

"Everything is in here, three portions."

"See for yourselves."

Jiang Chen didn't hesitate and directly plugged the USB drive into the computer.

There were three folders inside, and Jiang Chen opened the first one first.

It contains an audio file.

When playing a file, the background music plays first.

A deep, arrogant male voice rang out, so clear it sounded like it was speaking right next to your ear.

"That kid Han Zihe wants to overturn the contract? No way!"

"Use breach of contract penalties and blacklisting to suppress him. If he dares to cause trouble, completely freeze his career so he can't earn a single penny!"

"At worst, we'll force him to leave. Anyway, the contract is in our hands, so it won't matter where he sues us."

The speaker was Wang Jian, the vice president of Star Entertainment.

Jiang Chen recognized the voice.

Then someone chimed in, "Mr. Wang, what if he really uses the evidence of the dual contracts to try and destroy everything?"

"Going down with the fish? He doesn't even deserve that!" Wang Jian scoffed, his tone full of disdain.

"What waves can a mere kid like him make with his meager possessions?"

"They really dare to cause trouble. Not only will they make him pay ten million in breach of contract fees, but they'll also ensure he can never work in this industry again!"

The recording is only a little over a minute long, but every word exudes the arrogance and ruthlessness of capital.

Chen Qiaowei clenched her fists: "That's too much! They're clearly forcing people to leave on purpose, and they're making it sound so natural!"

Jiang Chen's expression was equally unsettled, and his eyes darkened.

He knew Wang Jian; back when he was still with the company, this vice president was known for his tough methods.

She shows no mercy to disobedient artists, and has been resented by many artists behind their backs.

But no one dared to stand up and testify.

"This is a recording of a high-level meeting. The company's meeting room automatically records and archives the recordings by default."

Li Xue spoke in a flat tone, seemingly devoid of any emotion.

"After Han Zihe got into trouble, President Zhou immediately had the original recording deleted. I made a copy beforehand."

"I originally intended to keep it for self-defense, but I didn't expect to need it so soon."

Jiang Chen nodded, then opened the second folder.

Here is a video.

"The hotel where Han Zihe stayed that night was invested and used by Xingchen Entertainment."

"So, I can also get my hands on the surveillance footage inside."

"But by now, the surveillance footage has probably been destroyed..."

Li Xue said calmly.

Click on the video, and a pop-up window appears on the computer.

This is the surveillance footage from the stairwell on the 12th floor of that hotel.

Looking at the timestamp again, it was exactly 10:17 a.m. on the day Han Zihe fell from the building!

In the video, Han Zihe stands in front of Wang Jian, clutching a brown paper file bag, his face pale.

Facing Han Zihe, Wang Jian showed no restraint and launched into a scathing reprimand.

The surveillance camera had built-in audio recording, and the conversation between the two was clearly heard by everyone.

"With what you have, you dare to negotiate with the company?"

Wang Jian pointed at his nose, his tone vicious, "Let me tell you, Han Zihe, if you dare sue us for tax evasion, I'll ruin your reputation!"

"We'll pay you the full ten million in breach of contract fees, and we'll make sure you can never work in the entertainment industry again!"

Han Zihe's voice trembled, tinged with youthful stubbornness: "You can't be so unreasonable!"

"The contract was unfair from the start; all the costs were pinned on me, and I received less than a tenth of the money..."

"Unfair?" Wang Jian took a step closer, his tone becoming increasingly vicious. "If you have the guts, go die! Dying will end everything."

"As long as you live, you'll never escape the company's control!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed the partition door leading from the corridor to the stairwell shut.

With a muffled "bang," the screen shook slightly.

Han Zihe was the only one left in the stairwell.

He was trembling all over, and the file bag in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud," scattering several contract papers.

He didn't even have the strength to pick it up...

After a while, Han Zihe slowly walked out of the stairwell and came to the window at the end of the corridor.

He stood with his back to the camera, his shoulders trembling, and you could feel his breakdown and despair even through the screen.

The surveillance footage was quiet, with only the emergency lights in the corridor flashing intermittently.

Three minutes and twelve seconds later, he tilted his body slightly and disappeared completely from the edge of the screen.

The office fell into a deathly silence upon seeing this.

Chen Qiaowei covered her mouth, her expression full of disbelief.

She only knew that Han Zihe was forced by the company, but she witnessed a vibrant young man being scolded to the point of collapse in front of the camera and finally falling to his death.

That kind of impact is a hundred times stronger than words!

"How could he be so cruel..." her voice was hoarse. "He's only in his twenties."

Jiang Chen stared at the screen, his expression extremely serious.

His fingertips tightened slightly, and he clenched his teeth.

Back when he was at the company, Wang Jian said almost the exact same harsh words, but he withstood them.

But Han Zihe was young, and his family had a sick mother and debts, so he couldn't withstand this kind of all-round suppression!

"The company will not release this surveillance video to the public. They only say that he is emotionally unstable and has depressive tendencies."

Li Xue looked away, her voice muffled.

"The full version was supposed to be destroyed, but I secretly made a backup copy in the monitoring room, and nobody knows about it."

I never expected the truth to be like this.

Han Zihe is a trainee who is popular with fans on screen.

I was treated like this behind my back!

Even if I told people, I doubt anyone would believe me.
