Chapter 675: You’ve Been Acting Me?
With the discovery of drugs in the higher-ups’ systems, any implication of drug concealment would deal a severe blow to Zhaofeng Entertainment’s reputation.
In exchange for her actions, she anticipated receiving ten million yuan from the Wang Corporation. While such a sum might pale in comparison to the earnings of renowned celebrities like Ruan Chu, for a fledgling artist like her, it was a windfall.
However, what she hadn’t anticipated was that Ye Qingyin and Han Xi had already been wary when Xin Shuiyun entered the office. They refrained from consuming the water she offered.
Unbeknownst to Xin Shuiyun, Wei Yueqiao had tacitly followed her into the office, under Ye Qingyin’s silent consent, waiting for her to reveal her true intentions and catch her red-handed.
Moreover, when Xin Shuiyun attempted to tamper with the drinks in the pantry, Wei Yueqiao silently observed her actions, witnessing the entire process.
Xin Shuiyun deliberately positioned herself to obstruct the surveillance cameras in the pantry, but unbeknownst to her, Wei Yueqiao captured the entire scene from a different angle.
As Xin Shuiyun handed the water to Ye Qingyin and Han Xi, Wei Yueqiao promptly exposed her deceit.
Stunned, Xin Shuiyun stammered, “Wei Yueqiao, you’ve been onto me?”
Wei Yueqiao rolled her eyes. “What do you think? Did you really believe I was clueless?”
Despite her innocent facade, Wei Yueqiao was far from naive. Graduating from a science-oriented program, she was well aware of the complexities of the entertainment industry. She couldn’t feign ignorance.
Following Wei Yueqiao’s revelation, Ye Qingyin wasted no time in contacting the authorities, resulting in Xin Shuiyun’s arrest for investigation. The two cups of water were handed over as crucial evidence to the police.
The judicial authorities swiftly analyzed the contents of the two cups of water Xin Shuiyun had tampered with, confirming the presence of drugs. Furthermore, additional drugs were discovered on Xin Shuiyun’s person.
With irrefutable evidence of criminal activity, Zhaofeng Entertainment terminated Xin Shuiyun’s contract and initiated legal action against her.
Caught off guard, Xin Shuiyun found herself abandoned by both the Wang family and Zhaofeng Entertainment, unable to receive any support.
Driven by greed and recklessness, she quickly confessed to her involvement in the scheme during the criminal proceedings.
Wang Qingli was apprehended by law enforcement to assist with the investigation. Having been implicated in drug-related activities twice, an extensive search of the Wang family’s assets yielded numerous illegal items.
Ultimately, Wang Qingli was sentenced to prison, leading to the collapse of the Wang Corporation. Huanyu Entertainment, once a prominent player in the Chinese entertainment industry, also faced bankruptcy. Artists affiliated with the company distanced themselves from its tarnished reputation.
The Gu family and the Zhu family, who had defeated the Wang family, were in the limelight in Jin City.
Upon learning the motives behind Gu Zhaoming and Zhu Qi’s actions against the Wang family, influential families in Jin City discreetly cautioned their younger members against provoking the daughters of the Gu and Zhu families.
Gu Zhaoming and Zhu Qi exhibited an unparalleled devotion to their daughters, going to extreme lengths to safeguard their well-being.
In the cutthroat world of business, alliances could shift swiftly, and outward civility often masked deep-seated rivalries. Even bitter enemies maintained a facade of friendliness, avoiding direct confrontation.
The Gu and Zhu families had openly declared war on the Wang family, a move fraught with risk. Any misstep could result in financial ruin not just for the Wangs, but also for themselves.
Furthermore, opportunistic rivals were poised to exploit the chaos, potentially leading to mutual destruction for all parties involved.
Despite the potential consequences, Gu Zhaoming and Zhu Qi seemed undeterred, resolutely determined to dismantle the Wang family, a venerable institution in Jin City, without regard for their own safety or the potential fallout. They relentlessly pursued their vendetta, tearing into the Wangs’ legacy with ruthless efficiency.
