After giving them both some advice on how to avoid accidents, Wen Qianqian recalled the contents of the book.

According to the content of the book, Zeng Fanyi's downfall should have happened two months later.

About half a month before her downfall, a top star in the circle suddenly broke out in a tax evasion case. The amount of tax evasion was as high as 1.2 billion yuan, plus back payments and fines, the total amount was 1.8 billion yuan.

After this announcement came out, the whole country was shocked, and netizens joked:

Oh my god! So much tax evasion! I can barely even tell how many zeros are left. I counted for ages before realizing it was 1.8 billion!

I did a quick calculation and realized that with my current salary, I wouldn't have made that much even if I'd worked since the Stone Age. It's truly terrifying! Who would have thought that those celebrities' annual incomes could be more than the entire profit of a medium-sized public company?

1.8 billion yuan was used for scientific research, and there's no telling how many scientific achievements could be made. Instead, it was given to actors, and they still think it's not enough. They even evade taxes. Absolutely outrageous!

After that incident, the voices online about the unreasonable income of celebrities became louder and louder. In addition, the figure of 1.8 billion was too shocking, and the relevant state departments finally began to focus on investigating and punishing the phenomenon of tax evasion by celebrities.

In the book, Zeng Fanyi was the first celebrity to be found to have evaded taxes after this. The amount was 8 million, which was not particularly large, but in the eyes of netizens, this was just going against the wind. During the period of the country's crackdown, not only did she not stop and pay back the taxes, she also continued to steal. Netizens' rebellious mood was immediately aroused, and they scolded Zeng Fanyi on the hot search for two whole weeks.

Because of the tax evasion incident, she was banned by the media, her movies were removed, her scenes were deleted from variety shows, and all her endorsements were lost. Overnight, she went from being a top star to a "tax evader."

But Wen Qianqian had read the content of the novel, and she knew that this matter actually had little to do with Zeng Fanyi herself. She did pay taxes as required, and the one who actually tampered with the finances was her brother Zeng Hui.

After the incident, Zeng Fanyi was unaware of the situation and even held a press conference, swearing in front of the media that if she really evaded taxes, she would automatically withdraw from the entertainment industry and never step into it again.

As a result, someone brought out evidence on the spot that Zeng Hui had cooked the books and concealed taxes. Zeng Fanyi only realized what her brother had done then, and she couldn't help but burst into tears on the live broadcast, almost fainting from crying. However, netizens did not buy it and all said the same thing: "Hypocritical", "Pretending to be innocent", "Refusing to repent even with evidence thrown in his face", "Refusing to quit the circle", "Tax evader, get out of the entertainment industry".

Fortunately, the police finally confirmed through investigation that this was indeed unrelated to Zeng Fanyi, so they only detained Zeng Hui.

However, Zeng Fanyi had been implicated by him, her reputation was ruined, and she became disheartened and simply retired from the entertainment industry.

Yu Shao's case was even more unfair. Wen Qianqian thought about it carefully, but could not recall the details of the content in the book. She vaguely remembered that after a performance, he went to have a meal with his former hip-hop friends. After returning home, he was scolded by the whole network, and even the entire hip-hop circle was scolded. People said that there was no good person in their circle.

I have the impression that Yu Shao was framed by his friends because of this incident. In the end, he managed to prove his innocence with great difficulty, but his reputation was ruined and he could no longer survive in the circle.

Wen Qianqian pursed her lips. She couldn't remember the specific details, so she could only remind Yu Shao to stay away from his group of hip-hop friends. After all, they were plotting something, and even if they failed this time, there would be a next time. The only way was to stay away from them.

After hearing her words, both of them were shocked and speechless.

After a moment, Zeng Fanyi's eyes widened. "You said you wanted me to go to the police station to report my brother?" She was stunned for several seconds, then frowned. "Why? What happened to my brother?"

Before Wen Qianqian could answer, she shook her head. "Impossible! He hasn't done anything wrong. Why would I report him? And he's my brother after all. Unless he's committed something horrible and unforgivable, how could I, as his sister, report him?"

Yu Shao, standing by, was also puzzled. "Officer Wen, are you a little prejudiced against musicians? Even though they dress a little strangely, they're really good people! After the competition, we became good brothers and have always had a great relationship!"

Looking at the innocent yet confused eyes of the two people in front of her, Wen Qianqian sighed: "Anyway, this is all I can say. I'll leave it at that. It's up to you whether you want to listen or not."

After saying that, she took the cup and went to the front of the TV station to get coffee.

It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. This is all she can do. In her opinion, Zeng Fanyi and Yu Shao are now like they are standing in the middle of a scale, with justice on one side and sin on the other. The rest of the path depends on their own choices.

Zeng Fanyi looked at Wen Qianqian's back thoughtfully, and returned to the nanny car with a frown. As soon as she got in the car, she saw her assistant Xiao Zhao bending over to clean up the cigarette butts thrown by Zeng Hui under the table. Zeng Hui was sitting on the other side, his eyes flickering at Xiao Zhao, especially when she bent over, Zeng Hui's eyes circled around her waist again and again, he was so interested that he even licked his lips.

Zeng Fanyi was petrified on the spot, staring blankly at Zeng Hui, as if she was meeting him for the first time.

Before Wen Qianqian reminded her, she had never paid close attention to Zeng Hui's behavior. She thought that he was her brother and her family, and she should trust him.

In reality, the two of them were not truly related by blood. Zeng Fanyi's mother died shortly after she was born, and when she was six, Zeng Hui's mother remarried and took him with her. However, in Zeng Fanyi's mind, Zeng Hui had been her brother since he was six years old. Even though the two came from a reconstituted family, the friendship they had grown up together was real, and she never had any doubts about him.

After she became famous, her stepmother asked Zeng Hui to be her agent. Even though Zeng Hui had poor ability and vision, which had seriously hindered her career development and was always scolded by her fans, she never thought of changing her agent because he was her brother.

She thought she understood Zeng Hui until today when she saw the look Zeng Hui gave Xiao Zhao.

Zeng Fanyi shuddered instantly. How was this look different from the one Zhang Chihao gave Wen Qianqian? Zhang Chihao was even put in jail for it.

As if sensing someone approaching, Zeng Hui instantly retracted his gaze, then looked at Zeng Fanyi with a distorted smile: "Aren't you still discussing with the director? How come you're here so soon?"

He changed so quickly that Zeng Fanyi couldn't help but wonder if she had just seen it wrong.

Assistant Xiao Zhao heard the voice and immediately turned around to greet her: "Sister, you're back?"

Zeng Fanyi nodded silently, and thinking of Zeng Hui's eyes just now, she immediately said: "Xiao Zhao, you go back first, you don't need to be here today."

"Ah? Can I go now?" Xiao Zhao smiled happily. After getting Zeng Fanyi's affirmative look, he jumped back happily.

After Xiao Zhao left, Zeng Fanyi's face immediately turned cold. She thought for a moment and closed the door of the nanny car.

Zeng Hui, who had been sitting on his seat with his legs crossed and smoking, noticed that her behavior was different from usual. He swung his arms and asked her, "What's wrong? Why are you looking so sullen again?"

Seeing that she didn't say anything, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "Are you still blaming me for what I said to the director? Was I wrong just now? This damn show shouldn't have continued to be filmed. The best thing to do now is to stop filming, compensate us for our losses, and we can take the money and leave and make money somewhere else!"

Zeng Fanyi was puzzled: "Brother, you always talk about money, money, money. Are you short of money? I've given you the management of my studio, and you can take all my money. Why do you keep asking for money?"

Zeng Hui saw her getting angry and started to complain too: "What's wrong with asking for money? Isn't the purpose of becoming a celebrity to make money? Isn't it right to make money? If you don't make more money while you're young, beautiful and popular, who will care about you in the future?"

Zeng Fanyi was speechless for a moment and took a deep breath. She had always known that Zeng Hui was obsessed with money, but usually, apart from being a little embarrassed, she didn't take it too seriously. But today, when she recalled the look he had just given Xiao Zhao and remembered Wen Qianqian's words, she felt that something was wrong.

So, she calmed down, gritted her teeth, and asked what she had been wanting to ask: "Brother, tell me honestly, have you ever done anything wrong?"

After hearing this, Zeng Hui's eyes suddenly flashed, and then he shouted even louder: "Zeng Fanyi, did you take the wrong medicine today?" When he encountered a question he didn't want to answer, he raised his voice and yelled deliberately.

"Brother, don't avoid me, answer my questions." For some reason, Zeng Fanyi was not easy to fool today and was particularly persistent.

"No!" Zeng Hui bluffed.

"I'll give you one last chance. Think it over carefully before answering me." Zeng Fanyi stood opposite him, staring at him intently, making him feel uneasy.

"No, if you say no, then there is no!" Zeng Hui roared.

Zeng Fanyi gritted her teeth and said, "Then why were you staring at Xiao Zhao's waist just now..."

"Pa!" Before Zeng Fanyi could finish her sentence, Zeng Hui slapped her in the face.

Zeng Fanyi staggered a few steps and suddenly fell onto the seat next to her.

"Zeng Fanyi, I gave you face, didn't I? How dare you talk to me like that? I'm telling you, my mom said, I'm the boss at home, you just listen and don't bother with that nonsense. Put the money in my hands, I can use it as I want, and you don't have to give me orders, do you hear me?"

"Besides, what's wrong with me taking a look at your assistant? You pay her a salary every month, so what's wrong with me touching her?"

"You!" Zeng Fanyi fell on the seat. For the first time, she felt that Zeng Hui was so scary.

Zeng Hui slapped her in the face, but didn't even look at her. He continued to put his feet on the table, slowly lit a cigarette, and puffed the smoke everywhere while smoking.

Zeng Fanyi couldn't bear it any longer, she covered her face and ran out crying.

She ran outside to a deserted place, wanting to be alone, but unexpectedly she was photographed by a marketing account that was shooting footage everywhere.

The marketing account was stunned for a moment, watching her back running away, and then asked in the live broadcast room:

"Did anyone see clearly just now whether the person running over was Zeng Fanyi?"

Someone immediately responded in the live broadcast room:

[I can't see it clearly, but I think it looks very similar. It's so strange. Why did you run away with your hands covering your face?]

Didn't you see clearly just now? I think she was crying...

[Oh my god, this is impossible, this is impossible, why is a celebrity suddenly crying while recording a show? Did someone scold him?]

[To reply to the above thread, I'm a fan of Zeng Fanyi. It's probably that good-for-nothing Zeng Hui who's pissed off our Xiaoyi again. Hey, speaking of that guy, he's as bad as it gets. At the airport, Xiaoyi refused to accept gifts from fans, but he took them, specifically the expensive ones. Xiaoyi said she didn't like fans picking her up at the airport, but he turned around and sold her itinerary to scalpers. How can there be such a stupid and greedy agent in the world? Why hasn't Xiaoyi fired him yet?]

[Me too. Because of this disgusting agent, I even have a problem with Xiaoyi herself. If she doesn't fire him, I'm going to stop being a fan... Oh, it's really annoying to watch. I can't be a fan anymore.]

[Back to the previous post. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I don't think Zeng Fanyi will fire her agent?]

[Why? What's this idiot got into? I'm capable, so let me do it. I can be a better agent than him!]

[…Hey, don’t you guys know by now? Her agent is her brother. Her personality is completely controlled by her brother. How could she possibly fire him?]

[This... okay, if she doesn't want to be fired, then she'll be locked up forever. If she has no principles, her fans won't be able to help her.]

…

Zeng Fanyi ran to a deserted place crying, not knowing what to do. After turning around twice and finding no one to talk to, she picked up her phone and started browsing. Soon she came across a live broadcast of a nearby marketing account.

Zeng Fanyi became increasingly bewildered as she watched the screen filled with messages like "Zeng Hui, get out!", "You can't do anything, you're only interested in money!", "I'm exhausted!", and "I'll lock you up if you don't fire me." Because Zeng Hui said celebrities should maintain distance from their fans, she had never registered for these social media accounts. All her news came from Zeng Hui, and even the live broadcast she just watched was accessed as a visitor, never paying attention to them.

But from Zeng Hui's mouth, the only news he received was "Fans appreciate my decision", "They all say you should take on more variety shows", and "Your fans all say that without me, you can't do anything."

She looked at the screen full of messages cursing Zeng Hui, and she became more and more frightened. Zeng Hui had been bragging and lying to her all the time. Her fans were so disgusted with him that they were about to quit being his fans and turn against him, but he still said, "Your fans admire me very much."

Zeng Fanyi was speechless as she felt stupid and arrogant, especially since she had never expected Zeng Hui to be so crazy as to make money by selling her privacy.

Is there any agent in the world who would sell the privacy of his own artist, especially when this artist is his sister!

Zeng Fanyi covered her face, feeling an unprecedented sense of suffocation.

Just then, a cell phone rang suddenly in her ears.

"Ding ding ding," she picked up the phone and saw that it was the finance manager of her studio.

"Miss Zeng, I'm sorry, Brother Hui's phone is turned off, and I couldn't get through, so I took the liberty to come look for you."

"It's okay, just say it." Zeng Fanyi covered her slightly swollen face and said as calmly as possible.

"Miss Zeng, Brother Hui brought a stack of plane tickets over for reimbursement a few days ago, and I saw two tickets to City L in Country M. Since you don't seem to have any overseas plans recently, I wanted to check to see if there were any errors."

Zeng Fanyi frowned when she heard this. Isn't L City in Country M the world-famous gambling city? What was he doing there?

She thought for a moment and continued to ask, "When is the flight time?"

The finance department checked and told her, "About a month ago."

A month ago? Zeng Fanyi tried hard to recall. It seemed like there were three days during which Zeng Hui didn't come to see her, and when she called him, he was noisy.

When I saw him three days later, he didn't look very good and his eyes were wandering. When I asked him where he was going, he didn't say anything. He just kept saying that he had arranged a high-paying program for her. His explanation was online.

Thinking of this, Zeng Fanyi suddenly opened her eyes wide, and felt as if all the blood in her body rushed to her head in an instant. So, Zeng Hui ignored the famous online "car rollover" legend and insisted on giving it to her, just to gamble with her money?

Zeng Fanyi hugged her arms, feeling the unstoppable cold. What was even more terrifying was that she suddenly remembered that Zeng Hui would disappear for several days every two months. She had not taken it seriously before, thinking that he was going to contact the director and the program crew, but she didn't expect that he was actually going abroad to gamble.

Thinking of this, Zeng Fanyi could no longer wait, so she called the director directly and asked the TV station to send a car to take her back to the studio.

Zeng Hui didn't know that Zeng Fanyi had left. When he leisurely came out of the RV, it was already dark. He waited for a while, but still didn't see Zeng Fanyi. He called her, but found that her number was unreachable. Then he realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Zeng Fanyi returned to the studio in the afternoon and immediately asked the finance department to reconcile the accounts for the past two years. She didn't know until she found out that Zeng Hui had secretly transferred 68% of the studio's funds, and even the tax amount did not match the account amount.

Now Zeng Fanyi was really dumbfounded, and at the same time felt an unprecedented fear. Tax evasion would lead to imprisonment. She had always regarded Zeng Hui as her own brother, but what did Zeng Hui regard her as?

After hesitating for a long time, she called Wen Qianqian: "Hello, Officer Wen, I have something to tell you. Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

Wen Qianqian was giving the director some suggestions for revising the program. When she heard her call, she walked to a quiet place and answered it. "It's convenient. Go ahead."

Zeng Fanyi clutched a stack of financial documents tightly in her hand and took a deep breath. "I want to go to the police station to report Zeng Hui. Can you go with me?"

After listening to this, Wen Qianqian thought for a moment and answered readily, "Okay."

At 5:30 pm, the two appeared together at the door of the C District Police Station.

Zeng Fanyi clenched her fingers, still feeling a little worried.

Wen Qianqian patted her shoulder: "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Zeng Fanyi shook her head: "I already know what kind of person Zeng Hui is. To be honest, I can give him money. I'm not a money-hungry person. As long as he needs it, I can give it to him."

"But he can't use the money to do anything illegal, let alone secretly falsify the tax amount. If he does that, he's tantamount to forcing me to death."

"I have given up hope on him, but I'm worried about my father. I don't know if he will blame me if I report Zeng Hui..."

Wen Qianqian thought for a moment and said seriously, "Don't be afraid. Your father will understand you because what you are doing is right."

"If he can't tell right from wrong and just keeps blaming you, then this kind of family relationship is better off gone."

"Family love should empower people, not become a bondage and constraint. If your family love isn't healthy, then there's nothing wrong with throwing it away."

Zeng Fanyi raised her eyes suddenly: "Really?"

Wen Qianqian nodded: "Really. Just like when I left the Wen family, I felt more relaxed and comfortable. You already have the ability to live independently. You have money, a career, and fans. You will have many choices."

Zeng Fanyi looked at her and nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Officer Wen, you are right, I know what to do."

After saying that, she took the initiative to hold Wen Qianqian's hand and walked towards the District C Police Station together.

At the bureau, Zhao Shan, who was just about to get off work, became alert when he saw Wen Qianqian. Just as he was about to say hello to her, he suddenly glanced at Zeng Fanyi who was beside her.

Then Zhao Shan, who had been grinning and ready to gossip, suddenly put on a mature expression. He even quietly straightened his clothes. After seeing that everything was in order, he pretended to ask in a low voice, "Hello, are you Miss Zeng Fanyi?"

Wen Qianqian was watching from the side and almost died of laughter. She knew that Zeng Fanyi was Zhao Shan's goddess, but she didn't expect that this kid had two faces. When he saw his idol, he started to act like a big shot. Even when she listened carefully, her voice was a little hoarse than usual.

Tsk tsk tsk, what a scheming boy.

Zeng Fanyi nodded: "Yes, I am Zeng Fanyi."

She mustered up her courage and handed over the financial documents in her hand: "I want to report my agent, Zeng Hui."

In the evening, Zeng Hui waited for a long time at the TV station but Zeng Fanyi didn't show up. It was almost 9 o'clock when he saw the director come out. He thought for a moment and walked forward with a cigarette in his mouth: "Hey, Director, where is Zeng Fanyi?"

The director looked at him in surprise: "Didn't Zeng Fanyi go back a long time ago? Aren't you her agent? Don't you know?"

Zeng Hui's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted, "You sent her back without telling me? Don't you respect me?"

The director was completely bewildered by what he said: "We are sending the artist back home, why should we say hello to you? It's incomprehensible."

After saying that, he left without bothering to care about anything else.

Zeng Hui, however, immediately felt unhappy and shouted at the director's back, "What kind of crappy show is this? You're so mean to me, we're not filming anymore! The agreement is terminated!"

As he said that, he spat on the ground: "Pah, what a thing, it's really unlucky."

The director was a little angry when he heard what he said, but he felt that there was no point in arguing with such a person, so he sneered: "Terminate the contract, right? Fine, have Zeng Fanyi bring the contract to me and talk to me in person. She has the final say, not you."

"You!" Zeng Hui felt as if he was ignored by the director again. Just as he was about to curse, the sound of two police cars suddenly came from outside.

Zeng Hui perked up when he heard the voice. "Look, this crappy show of yours is just unlucky. It's brought the police again! If you're such an unlucky show, could you please just be kind and let everyone off the hook and stop filming?"

"It's really unlucky! The mother of bad luck opened the door to bad luck. It's so unlucky! Even standing outside your TV station, I feel like I've been brought down by this crappy show of yours!"

The director clenched his hands in anger. He was more nervous than anyone else when he heard the police car, but he was also particularly angry when he heard Zeng Hui take the opportunity to mock his program. He turned around and shouted at Zeng Hui, "This is an excellent program, well-produced and rich in content. If there are any problems, it is the artist's own fault, not the program."

"Just like you, if you're unlucky, it's just your own bad luck, and it has nothing to do with the show!"

Just as he finished speaking, a cold female voice rang out in the darkness: "The director is right. Don't blame the program for people's mistakes."

Zeng Hui bared his teeth, about to scold the other person for meddling in his business, when suddenly the other person's figure appeared in the light at the end of the darkness. She walked in the light with a heroic demeanor, as if her entire body was glowing. She was followed by several uniformed police officers.

Zeng Hui then saw clearly that the person leading the team in front was Wen Qianqian, who had filmed a show with Zeng Fanyi a few days ago.

"Pah!" he spit on the ground. Just as he was about to say something, the other party revealed his identity: "Zeng Hui, I'm Wen Qianqian, a police officer in District C of D City. The police now suspect you of illegally participating in gambling and falsifying the financial statements of Zeng Fanyi's personal studio. Please come back with us and cooperate with the investigation!"

Zeng Hui stood there in a daze. He always felt that the police had come to this building several times, bringing bad luck to the place. Even when he was bored in private, he was still wondering when Yu Shao would have an accident. He didn't expect the police to come to him first.

"No!" After realizing what was happening, he started yelling and denying everything he had done. "No! I didn't! I haven't been abroad, and I haven't committed financial fraud. You've got the wrong person!"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and started yelling frantically: "Zeng Fanyi did it, it was all her fault, go find her! Don't come to me!"

He looked at Wen Qianqian as if he had seen a ghost: "Weren't you all catching celebrities before? I'm not a celebrity, I'm nothing. You've got the wrong person. Go find Zeng Fanyi! She did it all. I know nothing!"

Wen Qianqian stood there, watching him howling and clamoring, smiling coldly, ignoring his madness, and simply waved her hand: "Take him away."

After he finished speaking, two policemen stepped forward from behind him, grabbed him from the left and right, and dragged him out.

The director was standing nearby, feeling dazed for a moment. How come this man was just howling at him, and was taken away by the police a few minutes later?

director:……

What's going on? Has the show become so powerful that it can harm anyone who comes into contact with it?

Wen Qianqian smiled, walked over and said to him, "Don't be nervous, it's the people's problem, not the show."

The director was suddenly deeply moved. Even though everyone was saying that the program was unlucky and would bring bad luck to people, as if it were a scourge, there was still someone who firmly supported him and comforted him. He nodded at her and said seriously, "Thank you, Officer Wen."

The marketing account on the sidelines was about to finish work and was telling fans, "That's all for today, see you tomorrow," when suddenly Wen Qianqian appeared next to him with a team of police officers.

The marketing account was immediately thrown into disarray, but after reacting, it immediately set up its equipment. When Wen Qianqian and the others passed through the marketing account's screen in front of Zeng Hui, netizens sparked an unprecedented wave of enthusiasm:

[Ahhhhhhh, this is the first time I see Wenzai wearing a uniform and catching someone live, so cool!]

[Wen Zai will not be a guest today, and will return to his main business! ]

This business venture truly captivates me. Even though the term 'business venture' sounds a bit strange, it excites me more than any other business venture in the entertainment industry!!

[So beautiful, so beautiful! How can this woman manage to captivate me with every move she makes? Especially the waving and directing gesture just now. It was so beautiful!]

[The smell is excellent, full marks. The person who got caught is really noisy, -100.]

[Hahahahahahaha, didn't you see clearly who was arrested? It was Zeng Hui!]

What? Zeng Hui's been arrested! Holy crap, sisters, let's celebrate! Xiaoyi is finally free, finally free from being dragged down by this idiot! I'm so excited, I want to pop some champagne on the street!

[Ahhhhhh, what a wonderful day today is! Zeng Hui was actually arrested! But everyone, Zeng Hui was arrested, is Xiaoyi okay?]

Don't worry, Xiaoyi is fine. She just updated her Weibo a minute ago, writing, "The justice of heaven is clear." I guess she's finally seen through the villain Zeng Hui really is!

[Great! I'm so happy!]

The next day, the filming continued. Just when the production crew was discussing whether Zeng Hui's arrest last night would affect Zeng Fanyi, she came to the scene wearing Martin boots and smiling.

His face looked a little haggard, but his spirits were good.

Yu Shao heard about what happened last night and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Are you okay?"

Zeng Fanyi nodded: "It's fine, I feel much better than before." When she returned home last night, she asked the finance department to sort out all the bills from recent years and put them aside, waiting for the police investigation. She also talked to her assistant Xiao Zhao and asked her to be her agent.

Xiao Zhao is not very old. She just graduated from college and is two years younger than Zeng Fanyi. When she heard that Zeng Fanyi wanted her to be her agent, she was surprised and said, "Sister, is this true?"

Zeng Fanyi nodded: "Of course it's true."

Xiao Zhao jumped up with joy, but despite his excitement, he was still a little worried: "But I have no experience as a broker... I'm afraid I can't do it well."

Zeng Fanyi shook her head. "You worked part-time as my assistant in college. Plus, you majored in economics and earned a double degree in law, so this job is perfect for you."

"But..." Xiao Zhao was still a little hesitant.

"No buts," Zeng Fanyi gently stroked her hair and jokingly said, "Just do it with all your heart. Besides, if Zeng Hui can do it, you should be better than him anyway, right?"

Xiao Zhao smiled after hearing this and felt relieved.

Zeng Fanyi looked at Yu Shao and said, "I thought about it for a long time after I got home yesterday. Fortunately, Officer Wen gave us a tip, so I noticed Zeng Hui's abnormality. Otherwise, with my complete trust in him, I would have let him do everything. I would have been screwed to death without even realizing it."

"I'm especially grateful to Officer Wen. She really saved me. If it weren't for her, maybe it wouldn't just be Zeng Hui who went to jail this time. I would have had to be taken in too."

After that, she changed the subject and asked Yu Shao, "So what about you? Officer Wen asked you to stop associating with your old hip-hop friends. What do you think?"

Yu Shao scratched his head, looking distressed: "I don't know."

Zeng Fanyi was puzzled: "Why?"

Yu Shao spread his hands: "I believe Officer Wen, but I really think my friends are good people."

"We met during a competition, and we're still very close after two or three years. They really treat me like brothers. They were all happy for me when I won the championship. I can't just ignore my brothers because of an unfounded tip, can I? Honestly, I really can't do that."

"And if things go wrong, the media might even say that Yu Shao is ungrateful because he won the championship and his career has flourished, and then he just kicked away the brothers who once fought side by side with him."

"You know, our hip-hop community is different from that of ordinary singers. It's not a big community, and it's not mainstream, so the resources we have access to are limited. Now, because I won first place in the competition, and the show happened to be very popular that year, I suddenly received attention from fans all over the country, and I was able to barely enter the public eye."

"Right now, the resources in the circle are basically concentrated in the hands of us who are at the top of the competition. If I don't help my brothers now, they will miss the good opportunity and may never make a name for themselves in their lives. Then they will blame me, right?"

Zeng Fanyi sighed silently: "So you are still planning to continue hanging out with them like this?"

She didn't say it explicitly, but everyone knew that the hip-hop circle had a bad reputation, and if Yu Shao had always been with them, it would have been difficult for her to get close to the mainstream.

Yu Shao shook his head: "Let's leave it at that for now. I don't know what to do."
