When Lu Qing returned, the previous performance had already ended.

Taking advantage of the moment when the camera wasn't focused on Chu Qianjue, Lu Qing immediately went over and called him over:

"Fifth Brother, I need to talk to you about something. Come here!"

Arriving at the side of the stage, Chu Qianjue asked, "Qingqing, what brings you here?"

Lu Qing: "My master was in a hurry to find his wife, so I came here as soon as I got off the plane."

"Never mind that, I have something very serious to tell you. I just went to the restroom, and then..."

Lu Qing recounted everything that had just happened, and Chu Qianjue immediately frowned:

"Such a thing is true!"

"I know Gu Qirui. He's quite capable and works very hard. The people in his team are indeed a bit uncooperative, but I never expected them to bully the trainees behind the scenes."

Lu Qing: "Fifth Brother, I've already agreed to help him. Think of a way to kick those people out without affecting the broadcast of the show."

Chu Qianjue was silent for a moment, thought carefully, and then smiled:

“Go talk to your mother about this. She knows the investors. Find out who put them in there first, and then gather some evidence. You’re good at this.”

"Once the evidence is found, things will be much easier."

Lu Qing nodded: "Okay! I'll go find my mom right now!"

Lu Qing quickly found Han Ziyuan and told her what had happened.

Since this year's class was all boys, it was inconvenient for Lu Qing to sneak into the student dormitory, so she asked Gu Xicheng to go in her place.

Gu Xicheng only agreed to help after asking for a kiss.

Gu Xicheng changed into an outfit that looked like that of a boy band member. Because there were so many trainees, not everyone could be recognized, and he kept his head down as he walked, so he didn't attract any attention.

At this moment, most people are in the studio watching the stage performance on the big screen in front of them, because there are cameras there and no one wants to miss the chance to be on camera.

However, a small number of people were not present.

Gu Xicheng encountered Gu Qirui at the bathroom door and recognized him based on Lu Qing's description.

So he stepped forward and blocked Gu Qirui's path:

"Are you Gu Qirui?"

Gu Qirui was startled and instinctively covered his head with his hands in a defensive posture.

Gu Xicheng frowned slightly and said in a low voice:

“I am Lu Qing’s fiancé, my name is Gu Xicheng, and she asked me to help you.”

Hearing this, Gu Qirui slowly lowered his guard:

"You...you are Miss Lu Qing's fiancé?"

Gu Xicheng nodded slightly: "We need evidence to deal with those people. Where are they now?"

Gu Qirui pursed his lips, lowered his head, and after a long while pointed in the direction of the dormitory:

"They...should be there!"

Seeing Gu Qirui's strange expression, Gu Xicheng was very puzzled.

However, when he arrived at the door of that dormitory and saw the situation inside, he understood.

Through the crack in the door, one could see wisps of smoke rising from inside, accompanied by deafening music.

A group of men, cigarettes dangling from their lips and sticks in their hands, surrounded a man tied to the ground, yelling and laughing strangely, like a bunch of monkeys.

The bound man knelt on the ground, his eyes covered. He couldn't see or speak, and could only sob.

Gu Xicheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he then looked at Gu Qirui.

He crouched in the corner, curled up, hugging himself tightly, his body trembling with fear.

Gu Xicheng instantly understood that these people had treated him in the same way.

Gu Xicheng was about to take out his phone to record a video as evidence when Gu Qirui stopped him:

"No! Don't record a video! Otherwise, if it gets out, Yan Yu's life will be ruined!"

Gu Xicheng: "Don't worry, the video will only be used as evidence and will not be circulated."

"Trust me!" Gu Xicheng said earnestly.

Gu Qirui then let go of her hand.

Gu Xicheng only recorded a short segment, and deliberately avoided showing the victim's body, before kicking the door open.

"Stop it!"

The cheers inside stopped abruptly, leaving only the music playing.

These people, unaware that their evil deeds had been exposed, looked at Gu Xicheng with disdain:

"Who are you? Trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?!"

"Perfect! This guy's bored and can't even shout anymore. Come and play with your brother!"

A man who was already delirious staggered toward Gu Xicheng, but before he could touch him, Gu Xicheng kicked him away.

The others' expressions suddenly turned fierce:

"This guy's here to cause trouble!"

"Everyone, attack together and kill him!"

A group of people immediately rushed towards Gu Xicheng. Although Gu Qirui was afraid, he still rushed in.

Gu Xicheng couldn't help but smile. He now understood why Lu Qing had personally stepped in to help Gu Qirui.

This group of weaklings who never exercised could not withstand a single punch from Gu Xicheng. They all fell to the ground howling in pain after only a few blows.

With the outcome decided, Gu Qirui quickly ran over to find a bed sheet to cover Yan Yu's body, and then untied the ropes binding him.

Yan Yu trembled and couldn't utter a single word.

Gu Qirui hugged him, tears streaming down his face.

Gu Xicheng sighed silently, then called an ambulance and informed Chu Qianjue of what had happened.

When Chu Qianjue arrived and saw the mess in the dormitory, his eyes were filled with shock.

He carefully reached out and lifted the sheet covering Yan Yu. When he saw the marks from the beatings and cigarette burns, his eyes reddened.

"How long have they been like this?" Chu Qianjue asked Gu Qirui cautiously.

Gu Qirui choked up for a long time before finally speaking:

“The training...for two months, for...for a month and a half it was like this.”

"Why didn't you say so from the beginning?" Chu Qianjue asked hurriedly.

"Do we dare to say it? Those guys were either put in by investors or their families are rich and powerful. If we... if we say it, we'll never have a chance to debut again in this lifetime."

After saying this, Gu Qirui couldn't help but burst into tears.

Chu Qianjue clenched his fists in anger. He had originally planned to handle the matter quietly so that the show could be broadcast smoothly, but now he didn't want to anymore.

Giving these victims justice is far more important than ensuring the program airs smoothly.

"Call the police!" Chu Qianjue said coldly.

Gu Qirui suddenly looked up: "Teacher Chu, if we call the police... what will happen to us...?"

Chu Qianjue knew what he was worried about.

The victims endure in silence because they don't want their efforts to be in vain and they don't want to lose the opportunity to pursue their dreams.

Once the incident is exposed, even the victims will be affected by public opinion, which will damage their image.

But since he has decided to call the police, he will definitely not allow the victim to be blacklisted because of this.

"Don't worry, with me here, I guarantee this industry won't blacklist you."

"You should have noticed by now that they're not behaving normally; they might be on drugs. Calling the police is the obvious course of action."

"You also need to stand up and identify them. Can you do that?" Chu Qianjue's tone was encouraging.
