The Top Hacker Becomes A Female Supporting Character

121 ✎ 140

Chapter 121: Rejection

The investor related to He Yu was called Fan Bin. He was an investment player and was friends with the CEO of Cultural and Creative Entertainment Company. He also had some shares in the company. That was why he agreed to his friend's request and strongly recommended He Yu to appear in this movie.

He had worked with Sun Li twice before and could be considered to be on good terms with him. Hence, he looked for Sun Li after receiving He Yu's call to complain. "Old Sun, didn't you say that filming was about to start? Why are you changing the female lead again?"

Sun Li was angered by He Yu, so his words were a little impolite. "You said that you have to use He Yu. You know my rules. If you join my production team, you have to film obediently. You can't bring in any disruptive behavior, let alone cause trouble in the production team. You promised me that she would be good, but she caused trouble for me before we even filmed the movie. She even offended someone. How am I supposed to answer her?"

Sun Li would not lie to him about these things, so Fan Bin was a little displeased with He Yu after hearing this. Even if she wanted to throw a tantrum, she would have to see the occasion. Did she think that she was still filming a television drama? She was the biggest star in the production team, so she was making a scene at will?

However, He Yu was one of his subordinates after all, so Fan Bin still tried his best to fight for her. "This is Little He's first time filming a movie, so she doesn't know many rules. She's young and a little rash, so she might not be too careful and accidentally offend someone."

He called out to Sun Li. "How about this? I'll be the mediator. I'll set up two tables here and invite the person involved to join us. I'll get Little He to pour tea and apologize to the other party. Let's reduce the matter to a small one and let it go. It's also good that we won't delay the filming of the new drama. Otherwise, it would take you a lot of effort to find another suitable female lead."

The two of them had a pleasant cooperation previously. Sun Li did not want to ruin their relationship, so he could only remind him tactfully, "She offended that person from the Ji Family. She even dared to drug someone. I don't have the face to help her deal with such a serious matter. As for the female lead, I've already found a suitable candidate, so the filming can start on time. You can rest assured about that."

When Fan Bin heard that, he thought that He Yu had drugged Ji Jun, so he was also shocked. "That ancestor1? Why did she provoke him?" Wasn't she sitting on a tiger's head and plucking its whiskers?

Sun Li shrugged. "God knows. Perhaps the feelings of a young girl are always romantic."

No matter how romantic she was, she could not go into the mountains when she knew that there were tigers in them. Was Ji Jun someone that ordinary people could win over? After so many years, those who dared to lay their hands on him would be severely injured at best, and at worst, the person would no longer exist in the industry. It was already considered a rare mercy for her to be kicked out of the production team for daring to drug Ji Jun.

Fan Bin had a headache and called the CEO of her company. "I can't do anything about the trouble she caused. As for being the female lead, she can forget about it. The production team has already chosen someone else."

After He Yu received the news, she smashed the hotel room. "That bastard Sun Li dared to replace me because of such a small matter?"

The company's CEO advised her, "Anyway, you don't lack movie scripts now. We can choose another one."

"How can that be the same?" Quitting was different from being chased out of the production team.

"That can't be helped. They said that they've already found another person to act in it."

He Yu gritted her teeth. "I think this matter was caused by Ji Jun to support his little lover. No wonder he pounced on her to save her previously."

The CEO of the company was also a little angry and helpless. "This industry is like this. If Ji Jun can suppress Sun Li and replace you, we can only lower our heads."

However, He Yu was used to her career going smoothly in the past and was unwilling to lower her head. Hence, she wanted to encourage her fans and public opinion to grab the resources for her like before.

The production team sent her back, but they did not take back the script. He Yu took out the script, put it on the table and took a photo. Then, she posted the photo online. [I like this script very much and have put in a lot of effort for it, but it's a pity that we're not fated enough. Because of some personal reasons, I can't continue filming. I wish the production team a smooth filming and a huge box office sales.]

No one could say anything inappropriate just by looking at the photos and text. At least, after Sun Li saw it, he thought that she was finding a dignified excuse to suddenly leave the production team.

However, Ji Jun did not think so. In his opinion, someone like He Yu, who could poison someone over a small matter, would probably not let the matter rest.

Chapter 122: Being Slandered

As expected, just as the fans' hearts ached for He Yu, a gossip and marketing account with many fans posted a message in the middle of the night. It said that the reason why a certain female celebrity left a certain production team was not because of her, but because a certain Heavenly King1 wanted to promote his little lover, so he squeezed her out of the production team.

Although this gossip marketing account did not name her, several keywords he gave matched He Yu's identity. Coupled with He Yu's post, many fans immediately had to make a connection.

Among the information about the little lover that the gossip marketing account had given, there was a key phrase, "saving her life". Hence, Yu Han was also trending.

As an A-list celebrity on a small screen, He Yu's fans were very powerful. They would attack wherever He Yu wanted. Hence, they first swarmed into Ji Jun's account and criticized him.

Unfortunately, as one of the top celebrities, Ji Jun's fans included everyone from the elderly, the middle-aged, and the young. Their combat strength was not to be trifled with, so they directly retorted these people.

He Yu's fans couldn't beat Ji Jun's fans, so they could only pounce on the other party involved. Yu Han's account, which only had a million fans, was slaughtered. Her small group of fans argued with reason, but they couldn't beat He Yu's crazy fans at all. They were almost depressed from the scolding.

At this moment, Yu Han was tidying up the house with her manager, He Meng, and her assistant. During the day, He Meng walked around the neighborhood and finally found a bed-and-breakfast that was suitable in all aspects. She booked a small courtyard that had just three rooms, enough for each of them.

When she returned to the set, she realized that Yu Han had relied on her own ability to get another third female lead role. He Meng was stunned for a moment before she said, "You're making me, your manager, feel so useless."

Yu Han comforted her. "Being my manager isn't just about pulling resources for me. I might be defamed one day. I still need you to help me with public relations."

As soon as she finished speaking, He Meng's phone rang.

Starlight Entertainment had a public opinion department that was specially in charge of the company's celebrities' public opinion online. As the company's priority celebrity, they noticed Yu Han's account the moment something went wrong and they called He Meng.

After He Meng hung up, she looked at Yu Han with a complicated expression. "Are you a jinx?"

Yu Han, who was busy tidying up her clothes, looked up. "Am I defamed again?"

He Meng lowered her head and scrolled through her cell phone. Just as she opened her social media account, her latest cell phone was almost frozen by the endless new information. "He Yu was fired by the production team. She's causing trouble there and hurting the innocent you."

Yu Han took a look at the cause and effect and clicked her tongue. "I haven't even dealt with her yet, and she dares to dig a hole for me?"

He Meng felt that something was wrong when she heard this. "Did the two of you have a conflict today?"

Yu Han then told her what happened during the day.

He Meng immediately jumped up when she heard that. Her chubby face puffed up like a big bun. "Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter?"

Yu Han was a little embarrassed. "I forgot about it."

"Hmph, I'll settle the score with you later." He Meng glared at her. "I'll contact Director Sun first and see how he wants to deal with this matter."

Sun Li was also furious at this moment. He called Fan Bin directly. "What exactly do you guys want? Are you trying to use public opinion and fans to force me to do what you did in the television drama?!"

Fan Bin had just seen the news and had a headache. "I really didn't expect her to do this."

Television dramas and movies might look similar, but television dramas only needed popularity and traffic. Even if the ratings were not good, it could still let the investors earn money. However, movies were different. They required the box office earnings needed from the normal people's tickets.

This sci-fi movie had an investment of 500 million yuan. The box office earnings would have to be at least 1.5 billion yuan to make a profit. How much box office earnings could the fans contribute? It would only be a few hundred million yuan at most.

Hence, He Yu's move would not benefit her at all. It would only offend a large group of people.

Sun Li said directly, "Since she doesn't want to give me face, I don't have to give her face either."

After he hung up, He Meng called.

Sun Li found it strange when he saw the cell phone number. He had worked with a Heavenly Queen under He Meng before, but that Heavenly Queen had already established her own company. He heard that He Meng was not leading any newcomers, so why was she calling him?

"Hello, Director Sun. I'm Yu Han's manager, He Meng."

Chapter 123: Public Relations

"You're Yu Han's manager?" Sun Li was shocked.

As a famous top manager in the industry, she had sent a few people under her to the throne of the Heavenly King and Queen in just a few years. Whether the artists were newcomers, second-tier or third-tier celebrities, they all wanted to sign under her. Yet, He Meng signed Yu Han without a word.

"Yes." He Meng knew what he was surprised about, but she didn't explain much. She asked directly, "How are you going to deal with the current situation online?"

"I didn't do my job well and implicated your Yu Han." Sun Li was a little embarrassed. "Don't worry, I'll get the production team's official account to make a statement later."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to stop her fans if we only make a statement." He Meng thought for a moment. "I have a proposal here. What do you think?"

10 minutes later, Yu Han's account, which had been blasted, suddenly posted the latest update.

The passersby and He Yu's fans rushed in. Just as they were about to scold her, they saw Yu Han repost the blog post posted by the marketing account. She added: [@Director Sun Li, the contract I signed clearly said that I would act as the third female lead. How did it become the first female lead? Are you playing with a contract scam? We agreed to film a certain number of scenes and I would only do those scenes. I won't film any extra scenes, unless... you give me more money.]

Everyone was stunned. When the production team announced the role, they clearly said that He Yu was the first female lead. If Yu Han really snatched He Yu's role, she should have also taken the first female lead role. How did it become the third female lead role?

[Please explain clearly what's going on with the role-snatching!]

Yu Han specially picked out this comment and replied: [The investor: I'm rich, but I'm not stupid.] In other words, why would the investor choose her, a newcomer, to be the first female lead in a commercial blockbuster?

Three minutes later, Sun Li reposted Yu Han's post on his personal account with the caption: [Go memorize your script. You're just a child. Don't think about such nonsense.] He even attached an emoji: [I don't have any money, but you can take my life.jpg]

One had to know that as a middle-aged director, Director Sun's account style was basically to post some tranquil landscape photos, afterthoughts about certain books or calligraphy works. Passersby, especially his fans, did not know that he had such a lively side.

Hence, when he posted this, the comments below were all led astray.

[Director Sun, did your account get hacked?]

[Does your mother know that you're so lively?]

[Director Sun, if you're kidnapped, just blink.]

Sun Li glanced at the comments and couldn't help but reply one by one:

[What's a hacker account?]

[My mother has always said that I'm naughty since I was young.]

[If someone has been kidnapped, you should call the police.]

Because of his reply, the comments section became lively again. He Yu's fans were still relentlessly asking for the reason. [Since she wasn't replaced, why didn't you let our sister act as the first female lead?]

Sun Li chose a reply: [Ask her.]

Just as they thought that this matter would come to an end, but they did not expect someone else to repost it and lead the matter to a higher climax.

Wang Mian reposted Sun Li's post: [I'm such a big first female lead. Why am I missing?]

The moment she posted this, the Internet immediately exploded.

Who was Wang Mian? She was the most popular actress at the moment!

She had switched from the television dramas to the movies four years ago. Her first movie had a good reputation and great box office sales. She had successfully won two of the top three film awards in the country. Some time ago, she had also won the Best Actress Award for her other works.

When the photo of Wang Mian holding the Best Actress Award was sent back to the country, her popularity and commercial value immediately soared. Wang Mian was like a benchmark among the young actresses. She was a rare special existence that could win awards and boost box office sales at the same time. She was also who He Yu wanted to become.

When He Yu said that she wanted to act in a movie, many marketing accounts in the industry started to advocate that she was the next Wang Mian. However, advocacy was still advocacy. In front of the real Wang Mian, He Yu simply wasn't enough.

The moment the news that Wang Mian was confirmed to be participating in the sci-fi movie "Tomorrow" was released, it immediately seized the trending searches on various platforms and suppressed the news that He Yu's role was snatched away.

He Yu saw the news and smashed something again. She cursed, "Wang Mian, that b*tch. Why didn't she stay overseas to film her movies? Why did she come back to get involved!"

Chapter 124: The Grudge

With a big shot like Wang Mian, the innocent Yu Han had no presence at all. Yu Han saw that the trending searches were all looking forward to Wang Mian's new movie character. She was a little curious, "How do you think He Yu is feeling now?" Did she hate Wang Mian for replacing her, or was she grateful for Wang Mian's voice to divert the public's attention from her ruined image?

He Meng didn't even think about it. "She probably hates her even more. After all, in her eyes, anyone who snatches her things deserves to die, especially when this person is Wang Mian."

Hearing her words, Yu Han's gossipy soul immediately rose up. "From what you're saying, the two of them still have a grudge?"

"It's a huge grudge." He Meng told her about the history of the falling out of the fake bosom friends in the entertainment industry.

It turned out that Wang Mian's first management contract was also signed with the Cultural and Creative Entertainment Company. Although the Cultural and Creative Entertainment Company was not the top entertainment company in the country, it was indeed quite capable in the area of drama production. Hence, it successfully promoted Wang Mian and He Yu, these two leading female celebrities.

At that time, Wang Mian had already stabilized her position as an A-list actress in the entertainment industry with two popular dramas. At that time, He Yu, who was four years younger than her, had just signed into the company. Because she had a beautiful appearance, she was valued by the higher-ups of the company. They planned to focus on nurturing her, so they asked Wang Mian to take care of her.

Wang Mian was grateful to the company for nurturing her. In addition, He Yu looked very obedient at that time, so she agreed without much thought. Thus, the two of them often went on variety shows together after that. They filmed together and often mentioned each other during interviews. They were even filmed going out and playing together in private. They were like a pair of good friends.

During those two years, it still did not affect the relationship between the two of them even when the fans of both sides fought very fiercely. However, after Wang Mian's contract with Cultural and Creative ended, she fell out with Cultural and Creative and left. The two of them did not interact anymore. They would avoid the questions even when the reporters mentioned each other.

At that time, many of He Yu's fans scolded Wang Mian for being hypocritical and disregarding their sisterhood. It was only when Wang Mian succeeded on the big screen and gained a large number of fans that He Yu's fans stopped. They did not dare to forcefully slander her.

This was what the outside world knew about their relationship, but as an insider, He Meng knew that things were far more complicated.

Wang Mian was indeed very good to He Yu at that time. Hence, not only did she bring her along on camera, but she also introduced her to her friends behind the scenes. At that time, Wang Mian had a rich second-generation heir boyfriend that she had a stable relationship with. Just as they were about to talk about marriage, He Yu actually interfered and snatched away the rich second-generation heir boyfriend.

After Wang Mian caught the two of them in bed, she was so angry that she brought the matter to the higher-ups of the company.

Because He Yu was on the rise at that time and was about to become the next starlet, the higher-ups of the company did not want to suppress and punish He Yu for the sake of benefits. They also thought that Wang Mian's contract was about to expire, so they wanted to use the contract as an excuse to make Wang Mian swallow her anger. The overall situation was more important.

After being betrayed by her good sister and the company she trusted, Wang Mian broke down and caused a huge commotion in the company. Then, she directly rejected the renewal of the contract. The higher-ups of the company were furious and wanted to use Wang Mian's dirt to threaten her to submit. They didn't expect Wang Mian, who was usually very easy to talk to, to directly say that she had taken photos of He Yu cheating with her rich boyfriend. If the company dared to destroy her, she would also destroy He Yu.

The company did not dare to force Wang Mian with her tough attitude. In the end, they could only let her go unwillingly and secretly cause trouble so that Wang Mian could no longer take on television dramas.

Hence, after Wang Mian left the company, she did not have any shows to film and stayed at home for almost half a year. Later on, it was a small director whom she had helped in the past, invited her to act in his movie, ending her unemployed life. That movie was "Graffiti" that made her famous and gained a lot.

After the movie got popular, the people from the company regretted it very much. They were envious of Wang Mian's development on the big screen. This was what the company lacked. Hence, when they knew that Wang Mian had not signed a management company, they shamelessly came to beg Wang Mian to sign a contract with the company again.

It was said that at that time, Wang Mian only said one sentence. If they wanted her to sign with the company again, they would have to ban He Yu. The people from the management company had a headache once she made her request.

Wang Mian won two Best Actress awards and her future on the big screen was expected to be very good. She would be an honor for Cultural and Creative Entertainment and a living signboard for Cultural and Creative Entertainment to enter the big screen. At that time, He Yu's summer drama happened to explode and her net worth soared. It was just the time to start harvesting her fans wantonly.

In the end, the people from the Cultural and Creative Entertainment thought hard and finally decided to pay attention to the immediate benefits. Hence, they protected He Yu again and gave up on Wang Mian.

Chapter 125: Acquaintance

Perhaps the short-sighted Cultural and Creative Entertainment did not expect Wang Mian to be so hardworking. She rose so quickly that she suddenly became the number one among the young actresses in just a few years.

To put it bluntly, with Wang Mian's current achievements, as long as she didn't make any principle mistakes, she wouldn't have to worry about not having a job for the rest of her life. Most importantly, Wang Mian wasn't even 30 years old yet.

Yu Han did not expect to hear such exciting news. While she was satisfied, she was also a little puzzled, "If what you said is true, Wang Mian was the one whose boyfriend was stolen from her and He Yu benefited the most. It should be Wang Mian who hates He Yu more. Why does it sound like He Yu hates Wang Mian so much too?"

He Meng chuckled. "It's just jealousy."

Back then, after Wang Mian caught the two of them in bed, He Yu thought that the rich second-generation heir really liked her and he would be with her after breaking up with Wang Mian. Although she didn't really like the rich second-generation heir, he could bring her fashion resources.

Unexpectedly, the rich second-generation heir actually kicked her away directly. He turned around and begged Wang Mian for forgiveness. He even said that He Yu was cheap and it was her who seduced him. Although Wang Mian did not agree to get back together, the rich second-generation heir's actions strongly wounded He Yu's pride, making her unable to calm down.

Later on, the company decided to protect He Yu. He Yu was still rather smug when Wang Mian left the company. She thought that she could step on Wang Mian. Unexpectedly, Wang Mian came back forcefully before she could be smug for long. Wang Mian even reached a height that she could not reach in a short time.

He Yu was so jealous that she went crazy. Especially after she heard the conditions that Wang Mian mentioned to the higher-ups of the company. She would probably smash the company if the company did not decide to protect her again. However, Wang Mian's results in the film industry became more and more brilliant. Even though He Yu had successfully become a top female celebrity on a small screen in the past few years, she was still inferior to Wang Mian.

Hence, He Yu decided to switch to the big screen. She felt that her appearance and acting skills were not inferior to Wang Mian's. Therefore, as long as she filmed a movie, she would definitely be able to defeat Wang Mian.

Coincidentally, Cultural and Creative Entertainment had established a connection to enter the big screen at this moment. Hence, the team let her use the title of "Little Wang Mian" to replicate Wang Mian's path. Although He Yu was very disgusted by these things, personal grudges were personal grudges and business was business. To the film industry, box office sales and awards were the real deal.

However, He Yu did not expect her first movie to be so unsuccessful. Not only was she rejected by the production team, but the movie was also picked up by Wang Mian. He Yu felt that Wang Mian must have done it on purpose. She had heard that after Wang Mian won the award, she received an invitation from a foreign production team to film a movie. She should not have finished filming yet. Why did she suddenly have time to film "Tomorrow"?

Could it be that Wang Mian was rejected overseas?

A plan immediately came to He Yu's mind. She immediately got someone to inquire about Wang Mian's schedule and realized that she was really going to return to the country tomorrow. From the announcement on the official website, that drama only filmed less than a third of the scenes.

As one of the female leads in the movie, no matter how Wang Mian rushed it, it was impossible for her to finish filming so quickly. Most importantly, she saw that Wang Mian's name had already been erased from the main leads' namelist on the poster on the official website.

Therefore, Wang Mian was indeed rejected by the production team. That was why she hurriedly returned to take over "Tomorrow".

He Yu saw that the comments were all praising Wang Mian for bringing glory to the country. She sneered. "The higher you praise her now, the worse she will crash when she falls."

On the other hand, Wang Mian was also on an international call with someone. "I think He Yu is gritting her teeth and hating me. She must be thinking of ways to deal with me."

"People like her will not die easily." Therefore, he had to be ruthless if he wanted to deal with her. He could not give her a chance to get up again.

If Yu Han was here, she would be able to tell that this low and lazy voice belonged to Ji Jun.

"Hmph, I was too kind to her previously. That's why I indulged her repeatedly."

He Yu's guess was right. Wang Mian left the production team because she suffered an accident overseas. She originally planned to take advantage of this free time to rest. She did not expect to receive a call from Ji Jun.

Both of them were artists who debuted early, so they knew each other a long time ago and had worked together in a movie. At that time, Ji Jun was quite young and had a bad temper, so he unintentionally offended a staff member. The other party saw that he was just a child and wanted to take it out on him.

Chapter 126: Watermelon

At this moment, Wang Mian, who was a few years older than Ji Jun, accidentally discovered the staff's scheme and rushed out to protect him. It could be considered that she saved Ji Jun once.

With this friendship, the two of them had always had a good relationship all these years. Ji Jun had exposed what He Yu had done in front of Director Sun and chased He Yu out of the production team. Naturally, he had to find a new female lead for Sun Li.

Otherwise, if this matter troubled Sun Li and kept causing trouble for him, it would make it seem that he, Ji Jun, was too domineering and easily displeased.

Coincidentally, he knew that Wang Mian had left her production team, so he contacted her immediately.

With Wang Mian's status, most of the top-tier scripts in the industry would be reviewed in her email. Hence, she had seen the script for "Tomorrow" before and liked it very much. She also heard that this role originally belonged to He Yu. Thinking that she could make a fool of He Yu, she agreed without hesitation.

As expected, when Sun Li heard Wang Mian's name, he immediately patted Ji Jun's shoulder happily. "I know that you will handle things very appropriately."

After Wang Mian finished talking about He Yu, she suddenly gossiped, "Is that Yu Han really your little lover?"

Ji Jun, who was standing in the courtyard, hesitated for a moment and instinctively glanced at the small courtyard next door. In the afternoon, his manager said that he saw He Meng rent the courtyard next door, so Yu Han should have moved in by now.

This park was located in a remote area and was not popular, so it was especially quiet at night. Only the sounds of insects and birds could be heard.

Looking out of the courtyard, the opposite side was filled with overlapping mountains. It looked especially green and blue in the day, but the dark shadows looked a little terrifying at night because there was no light. It was as if a huge monster was lying there and watching them. It was as though it would pounce on them at any moment and destroy them in a second.

If it were a timid girl, she would probably lock her door at night and not dare to come out alone.

Ji Jun stood alone in the courtyard. The evening breeze gently brushed past his hair and lifted a corner of his bangs. He looked at the dim yellow light passing through the courtyard next door and felt very peaceful. It was so peaceful that it made him want to lie on the rocking chair and have another slice of watermelon.

"The elders of our two families are on good terms, so they instructed me to take care of her more often."

But who was Wang Mian? At this age, people who could act well would have better emotions and insight than ordinary people. Hence, she caught Ji Jun's hesitation and said with a smile, "You're not honest, kid."

However, Ji Jun ignored her. "Director Sun is in a hurry to get started. How's the matter on your side going?"

"Don't worry, I've already prepared the information." She wouldn't be soft-hearted if those bastards dared to bully her!

"I hope you're smarter this time. Don't be led into a ditch again."

Before Wang Mian gritted her teeth and flipped out, Ji Jun said, "You can call me if you need me." Then, he immediately hung up.

Wang Mian was a little indignant. She cursed, "This darn kid is still so annoying after so many years." However, she still had a smile on her face as she scolded.

Yu Han put away her cell phone. "Who can compete with Wang Mian? Looks like this show has to end."

"We're only halfway through the show," He Meng said. "He Yu really thinks that she has half the power in the entertainment industry, so she keeps bullying a newcomer like you."

She, He Meng, was able to become a top manager in the entertainment industry not because she was a softie who "didn't fight back", but because she fought with others step by step. Hence, since He Yu dared to provoke them again and again, she had to be prepared to suffer a backlash.

He Meng walked into the room in her 11-centimeter high stilettos and went to think about how to deal with He Yu. Yu Han thought that she could leave this matter to He Meng. After all, it was her duty. If He Meng could not handle it, she would give it another push.

The various platforms watched the gossip and joined in the fun. Yu Han's face turned red and her throat was a little dry. She could not help but think, "If only there were watermelons to eat at this time."

As soon as she finished speaking, a refreshing watermelon fragrance wafted over from outside.

"Gasp, did I encounter the Magic Lamp?" Otherwise, why would the watermelon appear just as she said that she wanted to eat watermelon?

Under Lang Yu's permission, Genie Ji Jun carried a basin of cold watermelon into the small courtyard.

Chapter 127: Expressing Himself

"I can't finish this watermelon. It's a pity to throw it away. I'll give you some." Ji Jun placed the watermelon on the low table under the porch.

Yu Han was very surprised. "Teacher Ji, what are you doing here?"

Ji Jun raised his chin and pointed next door.

Coincidentally, He Meng heard the commotion and came out. Seeing his actions, she said, "Ji Jun, are you staying next door?" Why was it so coincidental? However, it made sense on second thought. This was the best accommodation in the entire park area. If Ji Jun wanted to stay here, he would naturally choose this place. However, the two of them were staying next to each other. This was indeed too coincidental.

Ji Jun nodded at her and called out, "Sister He."

He Meng pretended to sit down on the stool between the two of them naturally, separating them. "Speaking of which, I didn't even officially thank you for what happened to our Hanhan last time. This is also my negligence."

Seeing her actions, Ji Jun raised his eyebrows. He could roughly guess her intentions. He sneered inwardly and said meaningfully, "It's fine. Anyway, the person involved has already thanked me." How could Ji Jun not understand why Yu Han was so eager to rope him in to invest in this drama? This girl really knew how to make use of others.

Yu Han, who was silently eating a watermelon, was stunned for a moment. She looked up and met He Meng's puzzled gaze. She swallowed the watermelon in her mouth innocently. "Yes, I thanked Teacher Ji properly."

He Meng felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little strange, but she couldn't say what it was. She could only change the topic and say, "Speaking of which, did you offend He Yu? Why is she so against you? She even drugged you and personally tried to hurt you."

Yu Han stole a glance at her. She had clearly explained the reason vaguely just now. Why was she suddenly asking now?

At this moment, Ji Jun suddenly interrupted. "What happened today has nothing to do with Yu Han. I implicated her."

He Meng was surprised for a moment. "I vaguely heard that He Yu likes you very much as an idol. I didn't expect her to do this much for you."

Ji Jun glanced at Yu Han from the corner of his eye, then looked at the shadowy mountains in the distance. "Don't worry, she won't be able to come out again."

When He Meng heard this, the dissatisfaction in her heart lessened a little. After hearing Yu Han say that He Yu drugged her today, her dissatisfaction with Ji Jun soared to the maximum level.

Although she already knew that Ji Jun had an extremely troublesome physique and that any girl who got close to him might become targeted, she did not expect He Yu to be so ferocious. She was actually unscrupulous to this extent to someone whom she had met for the first time.

If Yu Han was not lucky enough to meet a soft-hearted person like Yuan Fei, she would have fallen for it. If Ji Jun's current attitude was still indifferent, she would chase him out with a broom regardless of whether he was the Best Actor or the Young Master of the Ji Family. Moreover, they would never contact each other again.

Ji Jun more or less knew what He Meng was thinking. Although he was very unhappy to be doubted like this, he could tell that He Meng was sincerely thinking for Yu Han. She was a very responsible manager, so his displeasure quickly disappeared.

He stood up. "It's almost one o'clock. Since there's nothing else, you should rest first."

He Meng stood up to send him off. "Thank you for the watermelon."

Ji Jun nodded slightly and left. After He Meng saw him leave the courtyard, she turned around and saw Yu Han's small hand touching the plate of watermelons again.

"Yu Han." Her tone was not very stern. Instead, it was calm.

However, Yu Han could still hear the threat in her voice. She retracted her hand. "I just feel that it would be a pity not to finish such a sweet watermelon."

He Meng didn't say anything else and shouted, "Lang Yu, bring the scale over."

"No, no, no. I'm not eating anymore." Yu Han stood up with a whoosh and yawned. "It's almost one o'clock. There are still two morning scenes tomorrow. I'll wash up and rest first."

She had secretly eaten two big drumsticks and drank a cup of milk tea on set tonight. She had also secretly eaten three slices of watermelon while He Meng was talking to Ji Jun. She would definitely gain a few kilograms if she was weighed. If He Meng saw that, she would definitely get her to eat the no-fat meals for half a month.

Hence, for the sake of her happiness for the next half a month, Yu Han decided to find an excuse to escape.

He Meng narrowed her eyes and looked at her fleeing back to the house. She muttered, "If not for the fact that you've encountered so many things today and are so tired, do you think I would let you off easily?"

Chapter 128: Returning It

Lang Yu looked at the remaining half of the watermelon. "Sister He, what should we do with these remaining watermelon slices?"

He Meng said casually, "Get rid of them."

Lang Yu rubbed his hands and said happily, "Alright." He did not know where Best Actor Ji had bought the watermelon, but it looked red and crispy and the quality was especially good. It made people drool.

Lang Yu picked up the plate and was about to take it back to his room to eat while playing with his phone. However, when he passed by He Meng, she happened to glance at him and suddenly stopped him. "Wait."

She took a look and casually picked out the largest and reddest two pieces, leaving only one slice at the edge of the plate. "It's not good for you to eat too much cold food in the middle of the night. If you have diarrhea, you won't be able to accompany Hanhan to the set tomorrow."

Lang Yu agreed. "Sister He, you're so considerate."

He Meng nodded without any guilt. "Be more careful in the future. Rest early today." After saying that, she lowered her head and took a big bite of the watermelon's red flesh. Although Ji Jun was a little troublesome, the watermelon he bought was really good. She could ask his manager, Lin Zi, when she had the time, where he bought them from. This way, she could eat such delicious watermelons any time she wanted for the next month or so.

Ji Jun had the same plan. He had seen Yu Han eating quite happily just now. If he remembered correctly, she had eaten three pieces in the blink of an eye. The quality of this watermelon must be really good.

The moment he entered, he saw Lin Zi carrying half a watermelon in one hand and a spoon in the other. He was sending spoonfuls into his mouth without even looking up. There were two round green watermelon rinds piled in the corner of the courtyard. Beside them was a well that the shopkeeper had dug himself. There was even one watermelon iced inside.

"Where did you buy this watermelon?" he asked Lin Zi.

Lin Zi looked up. There were still a few drops of red watermelon juice on his chubby face. "Heh, this watermelon is really good, right? I bought it from a nearby melon farmer. They said it's an old local variety."

He saw an old man sitting by the roadside setting up a stall when he returned in the afternoon. He was thirsty, so he stopped. After tasting it, he realized that it tasted good, so he wrapped up the remaining four.

Actually, Ji Jun didn't even have a bite. "It's indeed not bad. Go buy another batch tomorrow."

"Sure." Lin Zi was happy with the food, so he agreed readily. After saying that, he remembered. "By the way, didn't you say that you were going to apologize to Yu Han? How's it going over there? Did you scare the kid?"

Ji Jun recalled Yu Han's satisfied expression as she ate the watermelon. "She shouldn't be affected."

Lin Zi was a little impressed. "She is so calm at such a young age. This child is really good."

Ji Jun suddenly felt a little unhappy when he heard him call Yu Han a child. "You're only a few years older than her. Why are you acting like an elder and calling her a child?"

Lin Zi counted. "I'm eight years older than her. Isn't it normal to call her a child?"

Lin Zi was two years older than Ji Jun and Ji Jun was six years older than Yu Han. Ji Jun snorted. "If you want to make yourself older, don't bring me along." He was still in his prime.

Lin Zi was a little confused. He didn't know who had offended Ji Jun again, so he could only change the topic. "By the way, how do you plan to deal with He Yu?"

Speaking of this, Ji Jun's eyes turned cold. "Give her a taste of her own medicine."

Ten minutes later, a gossip account called "Octotainment", which had millions of fans, suddenly released the news without any warning. It said that an A-list actress had been a mistress many times and liked to interfere in other people's relationships, including but not limited to prying away her best friend's rich boyfriend, playing "the production team's husband and wife" with the married male actors in the drama, and having a close relationship with a married higher-up in the company.

As the key information given by "Octotainment" was very clear, everyone's gaze turned to He Yu and attracted her fan army.

[Take our sister away. Don't use a marketing account to gain popularity.]

[As everyone knows, our sister has never even been in a relationship after she entered the industry. She's a pure and innocent person. She has been working hard.]

[If you have any revelations, just put up the evidence under your real name.]

[Would it kill you if you don't mention He Yu's name? Everyone knows that our sister is very popular, so everyone wants to ride on her popularity.]

Chapter 129: The First Step

It was obvious that He Yu's fans were really impressive. In less than five minutes after the news was released, the comments below the post had exceeded 1,000. The comments at the top were quickly occupied by fans.

On the other hand, He Yu had just been criticized by the company's CEO on the phone, telling her not to be so impulsive next time. "The waters in the movie industry are much deeper, and there's no lack of people with backgrounds. It's time for you to restrain your temper."

"I know, I know," He Yu said perfunctorily and impatiently.

She just wanted to teach a newcomer a lesson. Who knew that she would lure Ji Jun and Wang Mian out?

The fans were trying their best to say that she had never said anything about losing the role from the beginning to the end, that despicable marketing account was the one who led the way and dragged He Yu down. She was also one of the victims.

However, her popularity was more or less affected after this incident. After all, her fans had caused too much trouble under Yu Han's account.

He Yu did not feel that she had done anything wrong. She only felt that she was not cautious enough and acted rashly before she fully understood the situation. That was why Wang Mian took the opportunity to show off.

However, her manager's phone rang just as she hung up the phone.

"Someone exposed something again?" The manager frowned. "Has he contacted our team before?"

Usually, when paparazzi and marketing accounts took photos of celebrities' scandals, many of them would contact the artist team first and ask if the artist team wanted to buy it out with money. The other party would choose to make it public if the two sides could not reach an agreement.

Most of the people who exposed the news without any warning would offend someone and be punished.

He Yu gritted her teeth. "It must be that b*tch Wang Mian!"

Only the people close to her and Wang Mian knew about the conflict between her and Wang Mian. They had been living in harmony for the past few years. Today, Wang Mian had just snatched her role and someone wanted to expose her scandals. If it wasn't Wang Mian, who else could it be?!

He Yu was so angry that her body was trembling. She picked up her cell phone and dialed the number that she knew by heart. After the other party picked up, she scolded, "Wang Mian, you f*cking b*tch. If you have the ability, fight head-on. What's so good about shooting arrows at people behind their backs!"

Wang Mian, who had just come out of the shower and had yet to see what happened on the Internet, thought that He Yu was throwing a tantrum at her because her role was snatched away. Wang Mian sneered, "He Yu, do you still remember what you told me back then? You said that I was incompetent and didn't keep an eye on him. That's how you got him. You didn't do anything wrong. I'll return the same words to you today. You were the one who didn't have the ability and was chased out of the production team. I just took on the role casually. I didn't do anything wrong."

However, He Yu thought that she was pretending to be stupid. "Do you think I don't know that you did it just because you don't admit it? Let me tell you, do you think you can defeat me like this? It's not that easy. You couldn't do anything to me five years ago, and it's the same now! Just wait and see!"

Wang Mian looked at the phone that was called in for no reason and then hung up for no reason. She was speechless. "Is she crazy?"

Her assistant, Xiao Xiao, ran over happily with a tablet. "Sister, Sister! Great news! Something happened to He Yu again!"

Wang Mian quickly took the tablet and looked at it. Then, she laughed. No wonder He Yu was so angry over the phone just now. She probably thought that she was the one who instigated these revelations.

The assistant was a little excited. "Do you think we should give them a push?"

Wang Mian shook her head. "He Yu is selfish and sinister. She is unscrupulous in order to achieve her goals. Who knows how many people she has offended in the past few years?" With He Yu's playing-the-blame-game personality, she was already suspicious of her even before she did anything. If she really did something and was discovered by He Yu, He Yu would probably retaliate before she died as she was at her wits' end.

She was very popular now, so she did not want to be associated with such disgusting things.

On the other hand, after He Yu finished saying those harsh words, she logged into her account and wrote: [You only know how to do these things. One scene in the first half of the night and another in the second half of the night. Do you want to act in a midnight show? I'm sorry, my salary is high. You can't afford it. I've never fought or loved before, so rest early.]

As soon as He Yu's post was posted, before the fans could react, "Octotainment" immediately reposted it and posted: "You've indeed never loved before. You're just fooling around."

Then, he released a preview: [I'll see you at nine tomorrow morning.]

Chapter 130: The Cheating Man

"You haven't contacted the other party yet?" He Yu's manager called the company's higher-ups and received a negative answer.

"Did you hear any news?" Who wanted to deal with He Yu exactly? Although He Yu said it was Wang Mian, the manager felt that things were not that simple.

"I've already asked many of my peers, but they all said that they didn't receive any news." The manager hung up worriedly.

"In my opinion, he's just scaring people." Although He Yu felt like a cat was scratching her heart, she still said stubbornly, "If he really had evidence, he would have been released immediately. Why would he wait until tomorrow morning?"

Moreover, He Yu thought that she had always been careful, so it was impossible for her to leave any obvious evidence for others.

However, the manager was not so optimistic. "If he's just pretending and wants to ride on your popularity, there's no need to repost your clarification directly." If he reposted it, it would be equivalent to confirming that she was the one he was referring to.

At this moment, He Yu's phone rang. She glanced at the unfamiliar number and wanted to ignore it, but she was afraid of missing something important. In the end, she picked it up.

Unexpectedly, the moment the call went through, the other party asked, "What exactly is going on? Have you contacted 'Octotainment'?"

He Yu frowned. "Who are you?"

The other party clearly choked. "You actually deleted my number? You didn't behave like this when you seduced me back then."

"Oh, it's you." After hearing a few more sentences, He Yu could tell that the person on the other end was Jiang Lian. He was the married male actor that "Octotainment" had revealed. He was now a famous middle-aged male actor in the industry. Because he took good care of himself, looked handsome, and had good acting skills, he was quite popular.

His wife, Lin Shan, was also an actress famous for her beauty in the industry. A few years ago, the two of them had appeared on a couple's variety show. Because of their intimate interaction on the show, they had attracted many fans. Hence, he also sold his persona as a "good husband and loving wife" and used this to gain a lot of popularity and resources in the past few years.

He Yu only hooked her toes and hooked him onto the bed when the two of them worked together.

He Yu did not plan to touch him when the two of them worked together. However, a marketing account posted an article about beauties in ancient costumes that day. In the article, it listed Lin Shan's role as the number one and He Yu as the last.

Usually, no one in the entertainment industry noticed such a common thing, but He Yu saw it and paid a lot of attention to it. She felt even more indignant especially when she saw that many of the comments below agreed with the marketing accounts.

Hence, she suddenly had bad intentions when she was acting with Jiang Lian. She hooked her toes under the table and rubbed against Jiang Lian's calf. She didn't expect Jiang Lian, who usually looked like a gentleman, to be surprised for a moment when he discovered her actions. Then, he accepted it with a clear conscience. He couldn't wait to knock on her door that night.

So what if Lin Shan was beautiful? So what if he was a good husband? There was nothing that He Yu could not get as long as she wanted it. However, He Yu probably did not expect that she would encounter Ji Jun, this difficult man, more than a year later. Not only did she not get him, but she was also about to be ruthlessly crushed.

"Who exactly did you offend? They wanted to destroy you." Jiang Lian asked with concern.

He Yu rolled her eyes. "Didn't you investigate? Did you find anything?"

Jiang Lian thought to himself, If I could find out, would I have called to ask you, you troublemaker? He and He Yu had a consensual affair to begin with. The affair ended after the filming was completed, so there was no relationship between them. If anything happened to He Yu, he would at most not take the opportunity to step on her on account that the two of them had a happy time together.

However, the mention of the words "married male actor" and "husband and wife of the production team" in "Octotainment" made Jiang Lian panic. If that person really had something on him, wouldn't he be shot too?

This way, his image and persona would be ruined, and his career would be ruined too.

Therefore, it did not matter if anything happened to He Yu. In any case, he could not let anything happen to him. Hence, he tried to contact "Octotainment" to intercept him and buy the materials related to him first.

Unexpectedly, "Octotainment" did not react at all. Jiang Lian had no other choice, so he contacted He Yu to see if he could get any information from her.

Chapter 131: Octotainment

He Yu had filmed with him for more than three months and slept in the same bed for almost two months. How could she not know Jiang Lian's character?

She couldn't be bothered to deal with Jiang Lian anymore. "Anyway, I can't contact the other party for the time being. If you're worried that your matter will be exposed, you can go do it yourself."

This woman was too heartless. Jiang Lian gritted his teeth. "If you hadn't offended someone, I wouldn't have to..."

He Yu had already hung up on him before he could finish speaking. He was blocked if he called again. Hence, no matter how angry Jiang Lian was, he had no choice but to think of a way to find connections everywhere.

It was the same for He Yu. However, after a night of struggle, there was still no progress. "Octotainment" seemed to have disappeared into thin air. It did not read emails and its cell phone was switched off.

Not only did the two of them not find any traces of "Octotainment", but they even alarmed many others. Hence, before the nine o'clock trailer of "Octotainment" arrived, many insiders on the Internet had already exposed that the married woman He Yu had hooked up with was Jiang Lian, whom she had worked with before. The two of them searched everywhere for connections to suppress the news.

Many people believed these revelations, but at the same time, their fans did not. These people rushed into Octotainment's account with anger and scolded it crazily.

At this moment, in a small hotel, a man suddenly sat up from the bed.

"Alright, I understand."

This person was the "Octotainment" Gao Yue, who had stirred up the entertainment industry and made many people unable to sleep or eat. Five years ago, he was still a fledgling paparazzo who had been appointed by his superior to follow Ji Jun.

Ji Jun had always been a difficult person to follow in the entertainment industry. Firstly, he was very popular, so he could explode the Internet whenever someone took photos of him doing something. However, this was the difficulty. Ji Jun's private life was very clean. Other than filming, he stayed in the hotel and did not go anywhere.

He finally captured a photo of him gathering with someone, but Ji Jun was actually meeting a group of old men. He could not even find a woman within the group.

Just like that, Gao Yue still ate instant noodles and bento boxes every day and followed Ji Jun obediently for almost three months until he finished filming a movie. Even the people around Ji Jun knew that such an honest person was following them. They even occasionally asked the stuff to send him some drinks and bento boxes.

One day, Gao Yue suddenly did not appear. Ji Jun and the others were not even used to it.

"He's finally willing to give up?" Ji Jun asked his manager, Lin Zi.

Unexpectedly, he appeared again that afternoon. However, he became unhappy and his eyes were red.

Hence, when Ji Jun went to film, Lin Zi specially ran over and asked him, "Why haven't you given up?"

Gao Yue blushed and said, "I won't follow you guys after today."

Lin Zi patted his shoulder. "That's good. Who are you going to follow next?"

Gao Yue whispered a name. Lin Zi was surprised. "Do you want to die? How dare you follow her?" The other party was a female artiste with a very powerful background. Although her behavior was not good, many people did not dare to post it on the news. Or rather, it would be wiped clean immediately if they posted it.

Gao Yue lowered his head and was silent for a while before saying, "My mother is sick and needs a large sum of money for surgery, so I can only take the risk." It turned out that he was originally a student who had graduated from the journalism department. After graduation, he successfully entered the television station to become an interview editor. However, he did not expect his family to undergo a huge change and needed money urgently.

He heard that although being an entertainment reporter did not have a good reputation, the salary was generally much higher, especially when you caught explosive news. Just the bonus alone was equivalent to several years of salary. Therefore, he jumped ship from the television station to the current entertainment company and became an entertainment paparazzo.

"No wonder he refused to give up after following me for so long," Ji Jun said. After filming that day, Ji Jun handed a cheque to Lin Zi. "Give it to that silly kid outside."

Lin Zi looked at the amount on it and felt a little jealous. "You're more generous to the people outside than you are to us."

Ji Jun glared at him. "I just don't want to see him die."

Lin Zi sighed and did not say anything. He went out and stuffed the check into Gao Yue's hand. "Treat your mother's illness first. We'll talk about the rest later."

After Gao Yue took the check, he kowtowed three times in Ji Jun's direction before leaving. He returned three months later. It was said that his mother didn't survive the postoperative complications and left. However, Gao Yue was still very grateful to Ji Jun, who could lend a helping hand at the last moment. He promised that he would definitely go through fire and water to repay Ji Jun in the future as long as he asked.

Chapter 132: Photo Album

After receiving Ji Jun's call last night, Gao Yue did not consider whether it would affect a very valuable account that he had been operating for several years. He agreed immediately and directly released news about He Yu.

After Gao Yue hung up, he turned on his cell phone and checked the edited things again. After confirming that there were no problems, he clicked on the timer to publish it.

Under everyone's anticipation, it was nine o'clock.

Everyone refreshed his account and a new post appeared immediately. Many people were already commenting excitedly before they could even open it.

[F*ck, he's actually serious!]

This was also many people's first reaction. After all, in this day and age, most of the advance notices released by many gossip accounts were fake. It had been a long time since they had seen someone really posted just like that, and it was big news that involved an A-list celebrity.

After everyone sighed, they couldn't wait to turn on the news. Then, they saw a photo of He Yu and Jiang Lian walking outside intimately late at night.

Their names immediately dashed up the trending searches with the cheating label. Moreover, because there were too many visitors, it directly caused the platform's service system to be paralyzed. It only returned to normal more than 10 minutes later.

[Damn it, the two of them are really having an affair!]

[I didn't believe it when I saw the news. I even defended you. In the end, my face hurts!]

[A good husband and a pretty starlet. A perfect match!]

[Previous poster, I'm afraid it's a pretty slut.]

[The adulterer and the mistress will both die a horrible death!]

[Facts have proven that no matter how beautiful their wives are, it doesn't stop them from loving another!]

As soon as the news was released, the comments below the post immediately exceeded tens of thousands. The netizens watched the commotion happily. One moment, they ran to the accounts under He Yu and Jiang Lian to scold them. Another moment, they ran to Jiang Lian's wife, Lin Shan's account, to sympathize with her. Another moment, they despised watching the commotion and ran to "Octotainment" to urge him to update.

[Didn't you say that she's been a mistress many times? Who are the other friends whose boyfriends and husbands were snatched by her before? Reveal them all at once!]

Gao Yue also saw these comments, but he ignored them. This was because he had only photographed this part. He had heard others talk about the rest of the matter. There was no evidence. It was just a gimmick to expose the news, so he added it in as well.

At that moment, he received a message. [Look at your email.]

Initially, he thought that it was a threatening message from He Yu or Jiang Lian's team. Unexpectedly, the other party sent another message right on the heels of that. [There's something you want inside.]

Gao Yue opened his email in disbelief. Sure enough, there was an email from "Anonymous". The other party had sent him a 1G-sized photo album compressed package. Gao Yue opened it and realized that it actually contained intimate photos of He Yu with different men! Moreover, many of the men were male celebrities with many fans in the industry!

Once these things were leaked, it would probably cause an earthquake in the entertainment industry.

In the photos, He Yu was wearing skimpy clothes and hugging different men. Two of them were even taken while lying on the bed, seemingly naked. He wondered who sent such private photos to him. How did they get it and send it to him so resourcefully?

Gao Yue could only guess if it was the people around He Yu who had betrayed her.

On the other hand, Yu Han turned off her computer after seeing that the email had been opened. He Yu actually dared to drug her. How could Yu Han let her off so easily? Hence, she used her skills to "walk around He Yu's backyard" and discovered something amazing.

It turned out that He Yu had a little hobby that no one knew about. She was very proud of her charm, so every time she hooked up with a new man, she would take an intimate photo and put it in a private photo album as her glorious battle record.

This made things convenient for Yu Han. She simply copied the entire photo album. Initially, she was afraid that Gao Yue would not expose He Yu directly, so she waited before deciding to add fuel to the fire.

Now that Gao Yue had directly exposed He Yu's deeds, Yu Han could not be bothered to waste her energy. She simply sent it to Gao Yue and let him deal with it.

On the other hand, He Yu and Jiang Lian's team clearly panicked after the intimate photo was exposed.

The higher-ups of the company called He Yu directly. "What's going on? Didn't you say that you cleaned up the traces very well every time?"

Chapter 133: Conditions

He Yu did not understand why she was so unlucky. She only remembered going out in the middle of the night once in the two months she was with Jiang Lian and yet, she was photographed.

The manager stared at the photo carefully for a long time. "If you don't consider Jiang Lian's situation, there are only two ways. One is to bet that Octotainment doesn't have a clearer photo. You can say that it's a misunderstanding and that it's a problem with the angle of the photo. The other is to say that you're filming. This is a photo from one of the scenes."

However, it was obvious that Octotainment really wanted to mess with He Yu, so he probably had more than this little thing in their hands. They would probably attract even stronger criticism if they dared to refute. He Yu gritted her teeth. "What if we consider Jiang Lian's situation?"

The manager knocked on the table. "Then we will need his cooperation. Tell him that he and his wife have already agreed to divorce, but they didn't announce it to the public. The two of you are dating normally."

"He has always been pretending to be a loving husband." He Yu did not believe him. "Would Jiang Lian agree to such a request? Not to mention that his wife, Lin Shan, is not to be trifled with."

"It's better to use the excuse of hiding the divorce and faking a persona than to be exposed for having an affair. It's better to have his career ruined." The manager was certain. "As long as Jiang Lian doesn't want to bear a huge compensation for the breaching of his contract and doesn't want to leave the industry completely, he has to think of a way to deal with his wife."

He Yu thought about it. This was indeed a solution, and Jiang Lian's team's thinking was similar. The two sides hit it off immediately. The only problem was Lin Shan. If they wanted this matter to succeed, the most important thing was to have Lin Shan's active cooperation.

Lin Shan happened to be filming overseas at this moment. Ever since the news of her husband's cheating was exposed, Jiang Lian had not been able to contact Lin Shan. Every time he called, no one picked up, including her manager and assistant. They were all in a state of loss of contact.

This actually revealed a dangerous signal, but Jiang Lian did not think that Lin Shan would really give up everything she had. Hence, he still sent the public relations plan to Lin Shan and asked for her cooperation even if Lin Shan did not pick up the phone.

The production team, which was thousands of kilometers away, was supposed to film a big night scene tonight, but the filming work had already been suspended at this moment. The atmosphere in the production team was not very good either. Because the husband of the female lead, Lin Shan, was exposed having an affair, Lin Shan was traumatized and had already hidden in her camper van.

There was a commotion on the set. At this moment, Lin Shan, who was sitting in the camper van, was not crying as others had guessed. She only looked at her phone screen calmly and was in a daze as she looked at the public relations plan sent by Jiang Lian.

"Shanshan, you have to think about this carefully. If you agree to Jiang Lian's request, the good image you established previously will be reduced by half." Her manager, Brother Sen, advised her earnestly, afraid that she would be persuaded by Jiang Lian and cooperate with his request.

"Brother Sen, don't worry. I'm not that stupid." Lin Shan put away her cell phone and looked at her face in the mirror. Under the soft light, she looked as beautiful as before, but Lin Shan knew very well how much effort and money she had spent to barely maintain this state at the age of 34.

Even so, without the enhancement of filters, it was still very easy to expose her actual age. Hence, she did not dare to make too many expressions when filming.

For an eye candy actress like her, her flowering period was over. Obviously, it was especially difficult for her acting career to reach another peak. Hence, in the face of her husband's affair, Lin Shan quickly thought of how to maximize the benefits of this matter.

Since she couldn't reach the top of her career, she had to grab more money. After thinking about this, she finally picked up Jiang Lian's call.

"It's possible for me to cooperate with you. What price can you pay in exchange?" Lin Shan asked Jiang Lian directly.

After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Lian had mixed feelings. Lin Shan was not angry but asked him for benefits instead. This made him, her husband, feel especially upset. However, Lin Shan was willing to cooperate with him and did not argue with him. This gave him a lifeline and saved him a lot of trouble.

"What do you want?" Jiang Lian couldn't guess Lin Shan's heart for the time being, so he could only follow her words.

Lin Shan did not beat around the bush with him. "I want all the assets under your name, including savings, real estate, and shares."

"Impossible!" Jiang Lian refused flatly. These things were his assets after many years of development in the industry. If he gave them all to Lin Shan, it would be equivalent to working for nothing all these years.

Chapter 134: Turncoat

Lin Shan looked nonchalant. "Anyway, you can't keep this money. Either you use it to compensate for the breach of contract and your career will be ruined, or you give me the money. Although you will be very poor, you can still have a chance to make a comeback."

Although Lin Shan was telling the truth, Jiang Lian was still unwilling to part with so much money. "Lin Shan, we've been married for so many years. I've never treated you badly, right? Can't you be lenient to me on account of our past relationship?"

"Relationship?" Lin Shan sneered. "When you were fooling around, there was no such thing between us as husband and wife anymore."

Lin Shan refused to give in no matter what. In the end, in order to protect his career, Jiang Lian could only relent and promise to transfer all his assets to Lin Shan's account.

After the matter was settled, Jiang Lian couldn't wait to send out a statement and attach a fresh divorce agreement. He Yu followed closely behind and sent out a statement saying that she wasn't a mistress. She even declared that she and Lin Shan were good buddies. Lin Shan knew about her and Jiang Lian from the beginning to the end.

At this moment, as long as Lin Shan, the first wife, stood up and cooperated, everyone would be happy even though this matter looked fishy.

However, just as Lin Shan was about to repost it, her phone suddenly rang. An anonymous message popped up.

Hence, Jiang Lian and He Yu waited anxiously until Lin Shan finally spoke up. They thought that this matter could "conclude" just like this, but they did not expect to find that an even bigger storm was already rushing in their direction after they clicked on Lin Shan's post.

There were only a few words on Lin Shan's latest post. [I'm not divorced. I'm not familiar with her.]

"I'm not divorced" meant that she and Jiang Lian were still married. As for "I'm not familiar with her", it meant that she and He Yu were "not familiar". These simple words slapped the two of them in the face.

"Are you crazy?!" Jiang Lian flew into a rage. "I've already agreed to your conditions. What else do you want? Are you really going to be happy only when you see me ruined?!"

Little did he know that Lin Shan was also very angry at this moment. "Jiang Lian, it's fine that you f*cking played around, but you actually infected me with HIV. Let me tell you, I'll go for a checkup tomorrow. If I find out that I'm infected by you, I'll kill you!"

When Lin Shan said the three English letters HIV, Jiang Lian's first reaction was "Oh no!" How did Lin Shan find out what he was trying so hard to hide!

It turned out that because Jiang Lian had sold his "wife-loving persona" so successfully, many people thought that he really loved his wife, so they did not approach him. As a result, there were fewer women throwing themselves at him.

Jiang Lian, who was unwilling to be lonely, imitated some celebrities and played a simple and exciting game of prostitution. In the end, he fell for it accidentally as he played. By the time he realized it, it was already too late, so he could only try his best to hide it and try to bluff his way through.

Jiang Lian never thought that he would expose himself and even be counterattacked after secretly contacting his friend who was also positive.

Although Lin Shan's statement was short, it strongly exposed He Yu and Jiang Lian's adulterous couple's actions. It was very satisfying.

Seeing that the two of them had secretly deleted the statement, Yu Han turned over in satisfaction. She put down her phone and yawned. This way, it would not be in vain for her to search so hard and give Lin Shan a reminder.

The Internet was still lively when she woke up. Even the grudge between He Yu and Wang Mian had been dug out. It was confirmed that the story of the rich boyfriend being stolen in "Octotainment" happened between the two of them.

The netizens were all talented people. Wang Mian's rich ex-boyfriend was quickly dug out and their previous guesses were confirmed. Everyone kicks a man who is down. Seeing that He Yu was unlucky, those who were bullied by her previously jumped out to criticize her.

In an instant, three to four of the top 10 trending topics were related to He Yu. Unfortunately, they were all bad things.

"Serves you right!" Assistant Lang Yu scolded happily as he flipped through his cell phone.

On the other hand, He Meng only felt a little uneasy. Ji Jun had just said that he would give them an explanation before he left last night, and then something happened to He Yu right after. Wasn't this too fast?

It seemed that even if they could not get close to Ji Jun, they could not offend him. Otherwise, who knew if they would become the next "He Yu" to be retaliated against?

Chapter 135: Kneel And Beg

Yu Han did not know that He Meng was afraid of Ji Jun. She was filled with gossip. After eating a fragrant breakfast, she arrived at the set. Just as she was about to put on her makeup, her good sister, Qin Yu, finally came looking for her.

It seemed like what happened that day was a huge blow to her. In just a few days, Qin Yu had lost a lot of weight. She looked like she could be blown away by a gust of wind as she stood there.

Ignoring her murderous gaze, Yu Han's gaze landed on the box beside Qin Yu's feet. She raised her eyebrows. "I remember there's more than this, right?"

Qin Yu gritted her teeth and lowered her head so that no one could see her expression. "These are all the jewelry left behind by Auntie. They're the only things I can find. I brought them all over. As for the remaining calligraphy and paintings, my mother has sent them to another place. I can't get them at all, so I can't bring them over."

Yu Han sized up her from head to toe. "Looks like you didn't fulfill my request."

Qin Yu knelt down with a plop. "Sister, I'm sorry. I really tried my best. I really can't get those things. Can you let me off?"

The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of the others on the set. Yu Han saw that someone had even secretly taken out his cell phone and was preparing to record them.

Yu Han sneered and said in front of everyone, "Why? Are you trying to use public opinion to oppress me?"

Qin Yu stopped crying. "I didn't. I just wanted to tell you that I really tried my best."

"If you think that kneeling in front of everyone will make me change my mind, you'd better kneel for a longer time," Yu Han said as if she was chatting. "You haven't contacted Wei Wei in the past two days, right? I heard that she was approached by Zhao Bo's wife. Not only were her legs broken, but even her beautiful face was scratched..."

Qin Yu shuddered and then she heard Yu Han say, "Do you think she will look for you if she sees the video between you and him?"

Qin Yu got up from the ground with a whoosh. She subconsciously covered her pale face and said stubbornly, "I don't like that stupid pig Zhao Bo! I have nothing to do with him!"

"Then we'll have to see if Mrs. Zhao is lucky enough to see this video." Yu Han ran her fingers through her hair. "I'll give you three more days. If I can't see the rest by then, you're on your own."

Qin Yu could only run away in a sorry state. Yu Han sent a message to Yu Tian, her good father, and Qin Hong, her good stepmother, to tell them that the three-day deadline was up.

Yu Tian immediately called. "Wretched girl, I'm your father. Are you trying to rebel?"

Because of the information Yu Han sent him, Yu Tian had been frantically filling in the gaps these few days. However, the gap was too big and could not be closed in a short period of time. However, he was really unwilling to give up the shares that Yu Han wanted, so he could only stall for time.

Yu Han did not care about his clamor. "If I don't see the share transfer contract signed by you before midnight tonight, this information will appear on the desk of the relevant departments tomorrow morning. You can wash your butt and wait to go to jail."

After hanging up on Yu Tian, Qin Hong's call came in right on the heels of that. "Don't think that you can control me just because you have something on me! Your father will only believe in me and not you!"

Yu Han sent her a screenshot of the video of her being intimate with a lover. "If Old Yu can still be indifferent after seeing these things, I have nothing to say!"

"How dare you!" Qin Hong did not understand why Yu Han would have such private video information in her hands.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Yu Han sneered. "Qin Yu probably hasn't told you what happened the day you guys wanted to drug me."

Qin Hong's heart skipped a beat. When Qin Yu returned that day, she only said that the operation had failed and Yu Han had run away. Could it be that something else happened that day?

Yu Han warned her, "If you and your daughter still want to maintain your last shred of dignity, be good and return the rest of the stuff to me. Otherwise, you'll become street rats."

After saying that, Yu Han hung up the phone. Coincidentally, He Meng rushed over after hearing the commotion here. "Little ancestor, what happened to you again?"

Chapter 136: Taking The Paintings

Qin Hong was threatened by Yu Han and hung up the phone. She was furious, but she inexplicably cared about what Yu Han said just now. Hence, she could only call Qin Yu and ask her what happened that day.

Under her interrogation, Qin Yu could only break down and tell her what had happened. Qin Hong was so frightened that she collapsed on the sofa and cried, "Why are you so stupid!"

"Mom, save me. I can't be ruined like this!" Qin Yu thought of what Yu Han had said about Wei Wei's fate. After running out of the set, she hurriedly called Wei Wei to verify if it was true. Unexpectedly, the person who picked up the phone was Wei Wei's mother. The other party said that Wei Wei had been retaliated against by someone and her limbs' tendons had been severed. Her face had been cut seven or eight times and she was hospitalized with wounds all over her body.

Qin Yu was so frightened that she immediately hung up the phone. She had heard Wei Wei mention a few things before. CEO Zhao's wife had built their business by selling building materials back then. She had done many things to develop her business from a small hardware store to the current construction company. She was considered a ruthless person.

Therefore, although Zhao Bo had the guts to cheat with Wei Wei, he definitely didn't dare to expose the matter to his wife. At that time, she thought that it was an exaggeration and a joke, but after hearing what happened to Wei Wei, Qin Yu was really afraid.

Even though she was one of the victims of that incident, she was afraid that Zhao Bo's wife would be unreasonable and would rather kill the wrong person than let her off. Therefore, Qin Yu definitely couldn't let that indecent video be leaked. Firstly, it was for her future, and secondly, it was to avoid ending up like Wei Wei.

However, Yu Han's condition was to obtain all her inheritance. If she wanted to do it, she had to go through Qin Hong. That was because Qin Hong had secretly hidden those calligraphies and paintings after coaxing them from Yu Tian with flattery.

Right now, the only person who could save her was Qin Hong. Hence, even though Qin Yu felt especially embarrassed, she still felt that she had to be honest with Qin Hong.

Qin Hong had always been proud. She had always felt that the reason why she separated from Yu Tian back then and became an illegitimate mistress was because she had no money or status. Hence, she had always valued fame and fortune over the years. She had always planned to nurture Qin Yu into a socialite and use her to climb up the social ladder.

It could be said that Qin Hong had placed most of her hopes on Qin Yu. Hence, she would never allow Qin Yu to leave such a huge stain on herself. After a short moment of anger, she made a decision. "Let's go and get the paintings back first!"

Although those paintings were very valuable and Qin Hong wanted to keep them as family heirlooms, they might not be able to protect their futures now. Therefore, even if her heart was bleeding, Qin Hong had no choice but to risk her life to take them out.

Qin Yu was delighted. "Where do you keep those paintings?"

Qin Hong took out the car key and went out. "I left it at your grandmother's house. Let's go and take them out now."

When Qin Yu heard this, her heart skipped a beat. "Mom, are you sure that those paintings are still with Grandma?" Although her grandmother was quite reliable, she had an unreliable uncle. These paintings were so valuable. Wouldn't he steal them and sell them?

Qin Hong was not worried. "Don't worry. I hid the paintings in the cellar under your grandmother's room. Your uncle doesn't know about this. Moreover, he's too lazy to even pour a glass of water. He never thought of going down to the cellar, so he shouldn't have discovered it."

However, Qin Yu was not so optimistic. Although her uncle was lazy, he was not stupid. Her grandmother was a woman who did not have many opinions. She was afraid that her grandma would tell him everything after he coaxed her with a few good words.

Reality proved that Qin Yu's premonition was right. The two of them rushed to the countryside in the suburbs. Qin Hong had just parked the car when she saw her younger brother, Qin Gang, running out of the house with a drawing box. Her poor old mother was chasing after him anxiously. "Gang, your sister said that you can't sell it!"

As Qin Gang ran, he did not forget to turn around and shout, "Mom, don't worry. I'm just borrowing it to make some money. When I win the money back, I'll immediately redeem the painting and put it back. I guarantee that Big Sister won't know!"

"Stop!" How could Qin Hong not know what had happened when she heard their conversation?

In Qin Hong's eyes, the painting that Qin Gang was carrying was not only money, but also the future of her and her daughter. Hence, she could not let Qin Gang take away the painting. Not even one painting!

When Qin Gang heard the voice, he stopped in his tracks. When he saw Qin Hong, he panicked for a moment. Then, he squeezed out a greasy smile. "Yo, isn't this my Big Sister and elder niece? What rare guests. What are you guys doing here in the countryside?"

Chapter 137: Falling Out

Without another word, Qin Hong went up and snatched the drawing box. "Do you want to die? How can you take these things out?"

If it was leaked into the market and the Chen Family saw it, they would rush into the Yu Family and tear their family of three apart.

Qin Gang did not expect Qin Hong, who had always had a good temper, to be so decisive. He had wanted to find a random excuse to fool her. "Sister, I think you're too careful. That unlucky woman Chen Meng has been dead for so many years. These things have already fallen into our hands. If we don't take them out to exchange for money, what's the use of keeping them there?"

He had heard that as a famous painter who had passed away, Chen Meng's legacy works had already been sold for millions of yuan. Therefore, instead of putting these paintings in the cellar as decorations, it was better to sell them in exchange for food, drinks, and women. At the same time, it could let him play a few rounds of cards.

He had already bragged yesterday and had already owed the casino a few million yuan debt. Now, he was waiting for this painting to be sold and used to settle that debt.

"Chen Meng is dead, but the Chen Family is not all dead yet?" Qin Hong stuffed the painting box into the car window and locked the car. "I just knew that you are so unreliable. I will take all these paintings away today!"

Qin Gang had long treated those paintings as his private property. After all, if the things in his cellar didn't belong to him, who else did they belong to? Hence, when he heard Qin Hong say that she wanted to take away the paintings, he immediately couldn't care less about the fragile relationship between them. He jumped up and stopped her from entering the house.

"You're a married woman. What right do you have to go back to your maiden home to remove things?!" Qin Gang closed the door and refused to let her in!

"Pfft! They belong to me. I just handed them to Mom for safekeeping. When did they become yours?!" Qin Hong placed her hands on her hips and was about to barge in.

Unfortunately, the difference in size between men and women and the difference in strength was obvious. Not only did Qin Hong not push Qin Gang away, but she was also pushed to the ground by Qin Gang. Her forehead happened to hit a rock in the courtyard, leaving a huge wound.

The moment Qin Hong touched the blood, she immediately screamed, "Blood! Blood! I'm going to be disfigured!"

When Qin Gang saw this, panic flashed across his face before he became smug again. Hmph, so what if she married a rich husband? In the end, she returned to her maternal family and could do nothing to him. She had to act according to his intentions. As long as he didn't let go or relent, Qin Hong would never be able to step into the Qin Family!

Qin Hong held her bleeding forehead and shouted crazily, "Mom, save me quickly. Call an ambulance for me. I don't want to be disfigured!"

Mrs. Qin had never had her own opinions. Now that she saw her children turn against each other and fight, she could only sit on the ground and cry. One moment, she would shout at Qin Gang for him to listen to his sister, and the next moment, she would say that Qin Hong was the older sister and she should give in to her younger brother. She would say those words over and over again, but they could not rely on her at all.

"Hmph, give up. Even if you scream your lungs out today, I won't let you take those things away!" Qin Gang raised his chin and guarded the door like a door god. He had the aura of a single man holding the fort!

However, just as he finished speaking proudly, he suddenly heard a muffled sound. He snorted and rolled his eyes as he fell to the ground. Qin Yu was standing behind him. She was holding a shovel in her hand. If one looked carefully, her hands were obviously still trembling.

It turned out that when Qin Hong and Qin Gang were confronting each other, Qin Yu, who knew her uncle's character, knew that if she didn't get rid of Qin Gang, it was impossible for her and her mother to get the paintings today. And once they left, Qin Gang would definitely take the opportunity to take all the paintings away. At that time, the mother and daughter wouldn't even be able to get a piece of paper.

Seeing that Qin Gang was blocking the entrance and pushing Qin Hong to the ground, Qin Yu gritted her teeth and climbed in from the back door of the courtyard. Seeing a shovel standing at the door, she decided to go all out. She knocked him unconscious with the shovel.

This change clearly frightened Qin Hong and Mrs. Qin. The two of them stopped crying and looked at Qin Yu in a daze with their mouths open. They did not understand why she dared to be so ruthless.

Qin Yu squatted down and checked Qin Gang's breathing with trembling hands. Seeing that he was still breathing, she heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that Qin Hong was still stunned, she stomped her feet anxiously. "Hurry up and move the paintings while he can't move now!"

Qin Hong was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Then, she got up and rushed into Mrs. Qin's room, opening the cellar door.

Chapter 138: Making A Comeback

Mrs. Qin looked at her son lying on the ground with blood on the back of his head. She felt her blood boil. She rushed forward, grabbed Qin Yu, and was about to hit her. "Why are you so ruthless? That's your uncle!"

Clearly, compared to her daughter, Qin Hong, Mrs. Qin valued her son, Qin Gang, more. Qin Yu even dared to kill her uncle, so she clearly did not have much feelings for her grandmother, who she had only seen once or twice a year. Hence, Qin Yu grabbed her grandmother's hand and pushed her forward to the door.

Mrs. Qin wanted to rush up again, but Qin Yu went up and grabbed her collar with her height advantage. "Grandma, have you thought it through? If you really offend my mother and me, are you going to let your precious son take care of you in your old age?"

Mrs. Qin stopped struggling. Although she did not have her own opinions, she knew very well that the reason why her family could have such a good life today was all because Qin Hong found a rich man. Qin Hong gave her living expenses every month to support the two of them. Otherwise, if she really relied on Qin Gang to support her family, the two of them would probably starve to death together.

"As long as you're not senile!" Qin Yu let go of her.

It could only be said that this family, from Mrs. Qin to Qin Hong, Qin Gang, and Qin Yu, were all rather selfish people. Mrs. Qin was still feeling indignant for her son just now, but she immediately compromised when she thought about how hard her life would be in the future after Qin Yu threatened her.

Mrs. Qin avoided her gaze. She simply cried about why her life was so bitter alone. She also cried that she didn't know how she would survive if Qin Gang died.

Qin Yu turned on her cell phone and transferred 2,000 yuan to Mrs. Qin's account. "Alright, if you have the time to cry here, you might as well help your precious son to the clinic to take a look. As for if anyone asks, just say that he was drunk and accidentally fell to the ground."

Mrs. Qin immediately stopped crying when she received the money. She squatted down and helped Qin Gang onto a handcart with difficulty. Then, she pushed him to a small clinic not far away.

Qin Yu looked at her slightly hunched back as she pushed the cart and laughed self-deprecatingly. It was unknown if she was laughing at Mrs. Qin or herself.

10 minutes later, the boxes of paintings in the cellar were all moved out. Qin Hong covered her forehead as she prepared to drive away.

She had already looked in the mirror just now. Fortunately, her injuries were not serious, but in order to prevent having a scar on her forehead, Qin Hong decided to go to the hospital first.

However, Qin Yu disagreed. "Let's go find that b*tch Yu Han first!"

"No, I want to go to the hospital first." Although she had already decided to return these paintings to Yu Han, Qin Hong still couldn't bear to do it, so she tried her best to delay it.

Qin Yu was very anxious. "Mom, didn't you see Uncle just now? Seeing how he ran away in such a hurry with the painting, I suspect that he has a lot of debt outside. I'm afraid he'll chase after us immediately when he wakes up. After what we did to him just now, I'm afraid he'll lose his mind when he's angry."

Qin Hong thought of how ruthless Qin Gang was to her. If he really owed a large sum of gambling debts outside, he would not let them off so easily.

Qin Hong panicked. "Then what should we do? Should we hide?"

"Let's go look for Yu Han and return these paintings to her. This way, even if Uncle asks, there will be an explanation. If Uncle still wants those paintings, let him look for Yu Han!" Qin Yu said fiercely. "Anyway, Yu Han has been calling him Uncle for several years. Now that Uncle is in trouble, how can she, his niece, leave him in the lurch?"

"Yes!" Qin Hong also reacted. "She's a popular female celebrity now. If she doesn't want her dirty laundry to be publicized and be scolded for being heartless and affecting her image, she can only fork out money to deal with your uncle."

"Besides, although we have to return the things, we can't let her keep them so easily!" Qin Yu leaned over and muttered in Qin Hong's ear.

After Qin Hong heard this, her eyes lit up for a moment. Then, the two of them discussed for a while before driving to where Yu Han was.

Yu Han still did not know that Qin Yu and her daughter were preparing to trick her again.

This morning, Qin Yu knelt down to her in front of everyone. Although the production team did not dare to say anything because she was the producer, there was still a lot of discussion behind her back. There were even a few new extras who secretly took photos to see if they could find an opportunity to sell the photos and videos to the paparazzi.

This was also why He Meng was so anxious. However, Yu Han was obviously worried about something else.

Chapter 139: Retribution

"From what I know, Qin Yu isn't someone who compromises so easily, but she actually sent the jewelry over. She only made such a small obstacle for me on set..." Yu Han kept feeling that Qin Yu was definitely up to no good behind the scenes.

"She's just a little girl who has just turned 18. She shouldn't be that powerful." He Meng felt that Yu Han and Qin Yu had been confronting each other too much, so she was used to overthinking.

Yu Han didn't tell He Meng that Qin Yu wanted to drug her that day and was going to send her to Zhao Bo's bed. After all, there were many things that couldn't be explained clearly. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. Hence, He Meng thought that the two of them were just fighting like little girls.

"Keep a close eye on the public opinion online these few days," Yu Han said to He Meng. "After all, this is a critical period for He Yu. She might pull people out to block the bullet in order to reduce the heat of her public opinion."

"Don't worry, it's not my first day as a manager. I know what to do. Just focus on filming." As a manager, He Meng was still very reliable. As far as she knew, the two celebrities who made it to the trending searches today were both caught and used as shields for a small matter.

Although those who were used to surfing the Internet knew that the two of them were pulled in to take the bullet, as long as the netizens were distracted a little, the two high-profile trending topics bought as their shields would not be bought for nothing.

As for the person involved, He Yu, she did not make any next moves at the moment. Of course, what He Meng did not know was that it was not that He Yu did not want to make any next moves, but she could not.

Last night, Lin Shan's last-minute violation of the contract directly confirmed her affair with Jiang Lian and exposed her lie, causing public opinion to backfire crazily. All the personas that He Yu had set up previously were ruined overnight. Her past and relationship deeds were constantly dug out by sharp-eyed netizens, causing her failed image to worsen.

The anxious He Yu held her alternate account and scolded the netizens for the entire night. She only closed her eyes slightly in the morning. After sleeping for two hours, she got up and ate a few mouthfuls. Just as she was about to discuss with the team how to salvage this matter, she suddenly realized that her body was getting more and more itchy. From her arms to her thighs to her torso, her body was covered in rashes.

"Is she having an allergic reaction?" The manager was puzzled. "Didn't you say that she only had half a bowl of millet porridge in the morning? Why is she having an allergic reaction?"

The assistant at the side had a different opinion. "Why does it look like eczema?"

However, both of them guessed wrongly because in the next second, He Yu vomited and had diarrhea. It looked more like food poisoning. Seeing that she was vomiting more and more, the manager was afraid that something had happened, so he hurriedly called a car to send her to the hospital.

Before she lost consciousness, He Yu vaguely remembered that her symptoms were so similar to the medicine she asked Yuan Fei to give Yu Han.

Unfortunately, she had already fainted before she could investigate in detail. When she woke up, all the traces of the person who drugged her had been cleaned up. It was useless for her to flare up and find the culprit. She could only chase everyone around her out in fear with the thought that everyone wanted to harm her.

Of course, this was a matter for later. Now that He Yu had just been sent to the hospital, the Internet immediately revealed that she had committed suicide by taking sleeping pills. For a moment, Jiang Lian was pushed into a state of eternal damnation.

However, these obviously did not have much to do with Yu Han, so Yu Han just wanted to watch the show. She would just take a quick glance during filming.

After filming for the day, Yu Han packed her things and was about to go back to her rented house when Qin Hong brought Qin Yu to the set again.

Glancing at the gauze on Qin Hong's head that was still stained with blood and the blood on her collar, it was obvious that Qin Hong had gone to the hospital or clinic to treat her wound on the way here. Yu Han couldn't help but whistle softly. "Looks like the process of retrieving the paintings was quite intense!"

When Qin Hong saw Yu Han's arrogant appearance, she wanted to rush up and tear her face apart. However, as soon as she approached, Lang Yu, who was tall and strong, and He Meng, who was a little petite but a karate practitioner since elementary school, protected Yu Han behind them like old hens protecting a chick.

Qin Hong thought of what she had discussed with Qin Yu on the way here. She could only suppress the anger in her heart and roll her eyes. "We've already brought what you wanted. Can you delete the videos that you used to threaten me?"

Chapter 140: Calling The Police

Yu Han glanced at Qin Yu, who was unusually silent today, and then at the car behind them. She suddenly smiled and said, "There's no hurry. After all, it's an inheritance left to me by my mother. You guys have occupied it for so many years. Although you've returned it unwillingly, I have to check and see if there's anything missing or if it's damaged because they are not properly kept."

"We took into account that you were young and were afraid that you wouldn't know what was important, so we helped you keep it. Now that you're an adult, we'll naturally return it to you," Qin Hong said hypocritically. "After all, you've called me Mom for so many years. We've been mother and daughter for so many years. I didn't expect you to be so eager to cut ties with us."

Hearing Qin Hong's words, Yu Han was completely sure that the mother and daughter were definitely plotting something in secret. Yu Han's vigilance was raised to the highest. "Do you need me to tell you in detail how you've harmed me all these years?"

Qin Hong pretended to be very hurt. "I'm clearly so good to you and put you first in everything, but you actually said that I've been harming you. Hanhan, what do you think our years of relationship is?"

"Relationship?" Yu Han asked her, "When you and my father took advantage of my mother's pregnancy to cheat, when you kept instigating my father to hit me and instigated me to spend all my pocket money on Qin Yu; when you praised me for being sensible on the surface, but looked for school's form teacher behind my back to tell her that I was sick and needed special treatment. There were so many things going on, so why don't you tell me about our relationship? Why are you telling me about our relationship now?"

In short, no matter what Qin Hong said, Yu Han insisted on two things. Firstly, Qin Hong was a mistress back then. Secondly, these things, including jewelry and paintings, were all her inheritance from Chen Meng.

In the end, Qin Hong couldn't lie anymore and could only leave in a hurry.

After seeing the two of them leave, Yu Han took out a recording pen from her pocket. After hearing that Qin Hong and her daughter had returned in a day, she felt that things were not simple, so she turned on the recording pen before meeting them.

"I also hope that I'm overthinking." Yu Han backed up the contents of the recording on her phone.

That night, Qin Gang woke up from the small clinic. When he found out that Qin Hong and her daughter had emptied the paintings in the cellar, he jumped up from the bed. "Where did they take the paintings?"

Mrs. Qin recalled Qin Hong's words. "I think she said that she wanted to return the paintings to Chen Meng's daughter."

Qin Gang was in disbelief. "Why did she suddenly go crazy?" She had tried her best to coax the things from Yu Tian back then. Now, she actually wanted to return them to Yu Han? Was the person who said this really his biological sister, Qin Hong?

However, Mrs. Qin didn't lie. The paintings in the cellar had indeed been emptied. Even if Qin Gang didn't believe her, he had to. He walked around the ward like a trapped beast.

Qin Gang had already boasted to others because he thought that there were so many paintings in the cellar, any one of them would be enough for him to squander for a period of time. He even owed two to three million yuan in gambling debt and was waiting for those paintings to save his life.

In the end, she told him that the paintings were all gone. What about the debts he owed to the casino? Qin Gang gritted his teeth and actually took out his phone to call the police. He wanted to call the police to say that Qin Hong and her daughter had broken into the house to rob and injured him.

Burglary was a serious crime. The police immediately took it seriously and asked him for all kinds of details. In the end, they realized that something was wrong.

"You said that the mother and daughter broke into the house and robbed it. How much financial loss did that cause you?"

Qin Gang only knew that those paintings were quite valuable, but he did not know how many paintings there were in the cellar or how much they were worth. Hence, he could only give a general answer. "I reckon they're worth hundreds of millions."

Caused a loss of hundreds of millions? The police suspected that Qin Gang was lying. Otherwise, this was a big case that was worth specializing in if it was true.

Hence, the police station immediately sent someone over to investigate the situation. Only then did they know that the hundreds of millions of yuan that Qin Gang was talking about was about paintings. "Then do you have an appraisal report from a specialized agency?"

"Appraise what?" Qin Gang, who had only been in school for a few days, did not know these things at all.

The two police officers looked at each other. Their intuition told them that they had encountered a misunderstanding today, but they still explained to Qin Gang seriously, "To authenticate the painting you lost is authentic, and it's indeed worth this price."
