Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The next day, it was supposed to be lunchtime, but none of Starlight Film’s hundreds of employees had the appetite to eat.

In the President’s office.

Wen Xinghui looked like a frosted eggplant as he stared blankly at the documents before him.

“President! Something else happened!”

The door was pushed open, and his secretary rushed in.

If it were before today, Wen Xinghui would definitely reprimand his secretary for being unruly and entering his office without even knocking.

Now, he was no longer in the mood to care about this.

The documents in front of him were all from the law enforcement department.

Early this morning, various law enforcement officers came to his company for an investigation.

It was an investigation into claims that Starlight Films signed abusive contracts with artists, bribed online trolls, and interfered with the free market.

Even the environmental protection department came knocking on their door, claiming that during the filming of their movies, several production teams had destroyed the natural environment of the filming location to varying degrees.

One of them even bulldozed more than half of all the trees in a nature reserve.

The matter was supposed to have been covered up, but it was all exposed again.

After the investigation, several government departments sent Wen Xinghui a notice for a meeting.

“What happened again…”

Wen Xinghui asked weakly.

“President, our lead actress was taken away by the government. It seems like she evaded taxes.”

“What?!”

Wen Xinghui stood up abruptly.

Wen Xinghui had spent a lot of effort to poach their company’s top actress and had invested countless resources in her.

She did not disappoint Wen Xinghui, becoming his company’s most profitable cash cow.

Why would she also be caught up in this unlucky mess?

“It seems like the tax departments have obtained conclusive evidence of her tax evasion,” the secretary said with an uneasy expression.

“It’s said that she evaded taxes by hundreds of millions.”

“President, should we protect her?”

“Protect my ass! I can’t even protect myself; how can 1 protect others!”

Wen Xinghui slumped back into his chair weakly.

With so many things happening simultaneously, someone must be messing with him behind his back.

If he came forward to protect her at this time, it was equivalent to putting himself on a fire stove.

Beep beep beep.

The next second, his secretary’s phone rang.

After listening to the phone call, the secretary replied with a sad face, “President, our billion-dollar movie deal has been frozen.”

This time, the secretary learned his lesson.

He took the initiative to tell him the situation before Wen Xinghui asked.

Their third male lead was found to have been a bad apple.

This person had done unspoken terrible things many years ago and was criticized by many.

Since Starlight Films invited him to be the third male lead in their movie, it would negatively impact society.

The movie was frozen indefinitely, which was equivalent to being banned.

The chances of it landing at a cinema were slim.

“What are you all doing?!” Wen Xinghui roared. “Why didn’t any of you investigate this person’s background before filming?”

“President, please calm down. We investigated, but we didn’t expect him to change his name after the accident.”

The secretary hurriedly explained, “He was introduced by a friend in the industry. The person in charge checked his background and saw that he didn’t break any laws and regulations, so he was recruited as the third male lead.” Under multiple points of attack, even Wen Xinghui, who was made of iron, could not withstand it.

Any one of these things would have a huge impact on Starlight.

The company’s market value was about to shrink drastically, driving investors and partners away.

Which arch-enemy of his had collected so much dirt on him and chose to expose it within a day?

“Investigate, go and investigate!”

Wen Xinghui gritted his teeth.

“No matter how much money you spend or how many connections you use, you must find this bastard!”

“If he doesn’t want me well-off, 1 won’t let him be off either!”

At this moment, Wen Xinghui’s face is as ferocious as a demon.

The secretary had never seen Wen Xinghui so angry and was shocked.

“What are you still standing there for!”

Wen Xinghui kept slamming his table.

“Do you think my orders are now useless since the company is in trouble?”

“No, no, no, President, don’t be angry. I definitely didn’t mean that.”

“I just feel that this series of events is too strange.”

“Even if there are competitors collecting dirt on us, why didn’t they hand it over to the relevant departments before? Why did they choose to do it all at one time?”

“The local film and television companies all look up to our company.”

“There’s no reason to stab us in the back.”

The secretary was puzzled, as digging out so much dirt in a day was impossible.

Since no one in the company noticed anything, it could be seen that the person who collected the dirt was not ordinary.

It was either because the person attacking them was influential enough to cause all types of adverse news to spread fast and ferment, culminating in an irreversible scenario, or it was all a coincidence.

After listening to his secretary’s analysis, Wen Xinghui muttered to himself.

“Who exactly is this person? Who has such great power…”

“Power!”

Wen Xinghui’s pupils dilated instantly as a figure appeared in his mind.

Chen Yu.

Yesterday, after Wen Xinghui and Chen Yu’s conversation over the phone descended into a disagreement, Wen Xinghui ordered his subordinates to contact a few gangsters to set Chen Yu’s shop on fire.

He used this opportunity to warn Chen Yu to mind his own business.

However, his subordinate called at two o’clock in the morning to report that the gangsters had all gone MIA.

Wen Xinghui guessed that something must have happened to the gangsters and arranged for his subordinate to escape overnight.

At daybreak, the relevant government agencies came one after another with all kinds of troubles.

Everything was too coincidental.

Thinking of Chen Yu’s abilities and the retribution he mentioned, Wen Xinghui was stunned.

Wen Xinghui couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

The methods of the mystic sects were always elusive and mysterious.

Things that ordinary people couldn’t do were almost effortless for them.

“You can leave first.”

As soon as the secretary left, Wen Xinghui took out his phone and dialed Master Liu’s number.

In a few words, he told Master Liu what had happened over the two days.

“President Wen, you got muddle-headed. You really messed up big time.”

Master Liu complained with a complicated voice.

“If he was able to break through my spell and see through our plan, he is definitely not an ordinary cultivator.”

“Even if you want to strike back at him, you should’ve waited until 1 return.”

“I knew he was powerful, but I didn’t expect him to be so powerful.”

“It’s too late to say all this now. Please come back quickly.” Wen Xinghui pleaded anxiously.

“Only you can salvage the unfavorable situation.”

“President Wen, I’m really sorry. I accidentally sprained my ankle when 1 was looking out for treasured land yesterday.”

Master Liu said apologetically.

“I’m receiving treatment at the hospital. I’m afraid I won’t be able to return anytime soon.”

“Sprain your ankle?”

At first, Wen Xinghui was stunned but quickly replied, “I’ll send someone to pick you up and book a plane to send you back.”

“Other than spraining my ankle, I also had a heart attack. The doctor said that 1 can’t walk around freely.”

Master Liu started to stutter.

“Master Liu, you’re not going to leave me in the lurch, are you?” Wen Xinghui frowned.

“I’m going for a checkup. Let’s talk later.”

The phone call was cut off.

Wen Xinghui tried calling again, but Master Liu’s phone was switched off..
