Chapter 65: The Movie Star's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (16)

Wen Wan packed her bags and fled overnight.

She was terrified! The problem was, she didn't even know where she had slipped up, and her disguise was already teetering on the brink of collapse. She didn't even know which disguise she had exposed.

"I think I should stop following Gu Yiqin for the time being."

Soon, the company called and asked Wen Wan to come back to the company.

She had been sidelined by the company, so what was the purpose of calling her over this time? Considering Bai Cha's exorbitant breach of contract penalty, Wen Wan could only pack up and go to the original owner's agency, where she met the agency's boss, Lin Qi.

Lynch was about fifty years old and had a harsh appearance, not like a good person.

"Judging from your appearance, you've been doing quite well lately?"

Lin Qi sneered. He was so anxious that his hair was falling out like crazy every day, while Bai Cha had a rosy complexion and seemed carefree.

Upon hearing Lin Qi's words, Wen Wan sensed that he was up to no good, so she began to play dumb, as she was good at. "Boss, what are you talking about? I'm staying home to recuperate as Brother Wei told me. Does that mean the company is going to give me new resources?" As she spoke, her eyes lit up, as if she was looking forward to it.

"New resources? You've caused such a huge mess and you still want resources? Gu Yiqin is gradually clearing his name, his reputation is slowly improving, and his agent is already compiling evidence and will soon sue you and our company."

Wen Wan: I've finally waited for you, and I'm so glad I didn't give up~

On the surface, however, she appeared extremely flustered. "What should I do? This has nothing to do with me! You all made me spread rumors about Gu Yiqin. You sent me all those rumors. And that Miss Xiao, she can definitely save me. Isn't she the eldest daughter of the Xiao family?"

Lin Qi looked at Wen Wan. He used to think that Bai Cha was a fool, but after what happened, he felt that she had some scheming. But now it seems that she really is a fool. Now she thinks of asking for help?

They were winning at the beginning, but their stupid mistakes ruined everything.

This earned him a lot of criticism and caused him to lose a lot of money.

"The current solution is for you to admit to everything and not to implicate Ms. Xiao or the company."

Should we make her take the blame?

"I disagree. You were the ones who plotted all this behind the scenes. Why should I take the blame alone?" Wen Wan was very agitated. If she was going to jail, this unscrupulous company wouldn't escape either.

"That's not up to you. Don't forget, your contract is still in the company's hands. Think about the consequences of breaching the contract. Don't you want to know what the end result will be if you resist?"

"Are you threatening me?"

"I'm just giving you a choice. I'll hire the best lawyer for you, and after you get out, I'll send you abroad for plastic surgery and then promote you back into the industry. If you disagree or if you get involved with Ms. Xiao, you'll suffer a fate worse than death. An artist will disappear from the industry without a trace, and no one will even notice."

Holy crap!

This is murder!!!

This was the first time Wen Wan had faced such darkness directly, and she was actually quite nervous.

"Are you really going to promote me back into the industry? You're not kidding me?"

Seeing the obvious interest in Bai Cha's expression, the boss cursed inwardly: "Idiot."

"Of course, you are an artist of the company, and the company will certainly not give up on you. You helped the company overcome the crisis this time, and the company will definitely give you the best resources."

"No way, what if you abandon me after using me? I'll have nothing left!"

"Then what do you want?"

"Fifty million."

The boss almost blurted out: "Are you fucking money-mad?"

Why don't you just rob someone if you have fifty million?

"Fifty million, and I'll do as you say, boss. Otherwise, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me. You know, after working with you for so long, how could I possibly have nothing to my name?"

boss:"……"

"Are you threatening me?"

Wen Wan looked at the other person and said, "Boss, I just want to debut and become famous. I have to think about myself. You can understand that, right?"

You think I can't do anything to you?

The boss went out to make a phone call, and when he came back, his eyes were filled with mixed emotions. "I'll give you the money, but you'd better not try anything funny."

"I'll admit I did everything once the money arrives."

"OK."

After Wen Wan left, the boss remembered what Xiao Yan had said earlier.

"You need to be alive to enjoy your money."

Leaving the company, Wen Wan's legs were so weak with fear, "Am I going to jail?"

System: [But this plot is too far ahead of schedule. You should have been punished after the male and female leads' relationship had stabilized. You were the turning point for Gu Yiqin to break free from the past and a catalyst for their relationship. But the male lead just rejected the female lead and then sued you.]

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. You have to help me keep those 50 million. I'll live off that after I fake my death." With 50 million, she could live a carefree life in this world for fifty years.

system:【……】

Is there anything else in the host's eyes besides money?

[If you fail to complete the mission, even if you fake your death, it won't help; your soul will still be erased.]

Wen Wan was stunned. "So you mean I have to continue doing missions?"

[Yes, even if you have a new identity, you still need to bring the male and female leads together to complete the main storyline of this world and give readers a perfect experience.]

Wen Yan: "..."

—

Sure enough, a few days later, Gu Yiqin's studio filed a police report and publicly sued Bai Cha and her agency for spreading rumors about Gu Yiqin. Evidence has been submitted.

This was Gu Yiqin's first response.

This response instantly went viral, and Gu Yiqin's fans were overjoyed, finally having waited for this day.

Then Bai Cha's agency immediately released a statement, as promised, shifting the blame onto Bai Cha.

Soon after, Bai Cha also issued an apology statement on Weibo, admitting that everything was a personal matter and had nothing to do with the company.

Wen Wan did nothing, yet the company had already completed all the procedures.

Spreading rumors is a crime and comes at a price.

Wen Wan was quickly taken away by the police for investigation. The evidence was conclusive. The call records, recordings, and various correspondence records that Wen Wan had deliberately preserved were irrefutable. However, Wen Wan had the system hide everything about the account "Life is Wonderful". She could die, but her identity had to be preserved.

He eventually received the silver bracelet but was sentenced to two years and three months in prison.

In court, Wen Wan saw Gu Yiqin.

Then she said sorry to Gu Yiqin. This was on behalf of Bai Cha, and it was also what Gu Yiqin deserved.

This is Wen Wan's first time in jail.

The user experience is absolutely top-notch.

After experiencing prison life for half a month, Wen Wan could no longer bear it and finally collapsed one morning.

Let's go.

Soon Wen Wan suddenly fell seriously ill and her organs failed. The system shielded Wen Wan from pain, but watching the original owner's body die was still quite strange for Wen Wan.

This is the ending the original owner deserved; this is what she owed Gu Yiqin.

[Reader satisfaction increased to 60/100. As expected, Bai Cha, the ex-girlfriend, got her comeuppance; readers are all satisfied.]

—

Five years later.

Wen Wan didn't know why she used the word "again".

"You bastard, didn't you tell me that it took you five years to create a body? I've been bored to death for the past five years."

system:【……】

That familiar name.

It was still a blank phone. Looking at Wen Wan in a fit of rage, he said, "Transfer my fifty million to me."

This time, the system didn't say anything. After Wen Wan got the new card, it immediately transferred the money to the card.

After receiving the fifty million, Wen Wan's anger finally subsided considerably.

"And what about that 100 million investment? Director Lin's TV series must have made a lot of money, right? You took the 100 million principal, so shouldn't you give me the extra money that the investment made?"

System: [No, all the profits were derived from that 100 million, and according to regulations, they must all be handed over.]

As expected of Zhou Bapi, it's too difficult for him to skim any profit.

"You're not going to break your promise about the car too, are you?"

"The system keeps its word and never lies. You'll see it when you turn around," the system said.

Wen Wan turned around expectantly, thinking she would see a luxury sports car, but instead she saw a plain and unadorned... electric car in front of her.

Where is my sports car?

System: [All drivable vehicles and all necessary elements are present.]

Wen Yan: "???"

It has all the elements of God.

"I want a four-wheeled system, not a two-wheeled one. I don't care. I'm going to complain that you deceived the host. I'm going to have your boss give me a reliable system. You bastard, you're so untrustworthy."

The system doesn't care.

The important thing now is that you continue to complete the task, otherwise you won't even be able to ride this two-wheeled vehicle.

Wen Wan was somewhat shocked, "Five years have passed, and the male and female leads still haven't gotten together???"

The system was also helpless. [Yes.]

Who would have thought that Gu Yiqin hadn't even developed feelings for the female lead yet?

The original story of redemption has become a mess.

Furthermore, Gu Yiqin has been sending private messages to the Weibo account created by his host every day without interruption for the past five years. The system has a bad feeling: could it be that Gu Yiqin has fallen in love with the pseudonym created by his host?

I've never seen this before. Is one-way online dating even possible?

"So I still need to successfully bring the male and female leads together before I can live freely?"

System: [Yes, host. New mission. Good luck!!!]

Wen Yan: "..."

Wen Wan's body was exactly the same as her original body, not even a centimeter taller. It was really too meticulous. Wen Wan first found a hotel to stay in temporarily, then rode her electric scooter to have a hot pot meal, and then bought two sets of clothes to change into.

"Then how do I get close to Gu Yiqin?" Wen Wan checked the current information. Back then, Bai Cha received severe legal punishment, and the mudslinging against Gu Yiqin was completely cleared.

Logically speaking, Gu Yiqin should continue acting.

However, Gu Yiqin suddenly started a talent agency and quickly swallowed up Lin Qi's company five years later. Now he has a considerable reputation in the industry, has promoted many artists, and has produced many well-received works.

[Host, as I suggest, if you want to get close to Gu Yiqin, becoming an entertainer is the most direct way.]

"An entertainer? But I can't act!"

I have social anxiety.

I have agoraphobia.

"I--"

Mission failed. Annihilation.

Wen Yan: "..."

You win!
