"Boss, the car is ready. Shall we go back now?"

Ye Anan bowed slightly to Long Xun as he walked out, without looking at Director Li, who was still dumbfounded inside the room.

Long Xun responded.

Sitting in a luxury car that money can't buy, Long Xun casually flipped through his system inventory and took out a tablet computer he had brought from the post-apocalyptic world.

Although this tablet can't connect to the internet in other worlds because they are worlds with completely different levels of technology, its basic functions are still usable. The tablet contains photos of Yin Chen, including a teenage version from a post-apocalyptic world and a sunny, adult version from a mermaid world.

A half-body adult photo of Yin Chen was pulled up. His face was clearly visible, with black hair and black eyes. It was one of the few photos where he had a serious expression, and his facial features were clearly visible.

"Annan, help me find out about this person. His name is Yin Chen."

"Yes, boss."

...

When Long Xun left the film crew, the public relations team that the Long family conglomerate had specially prepared for him to enter the entertainment industry had already posted the news on Long Xun's Weibo.

Long Xun V: Due to some personal reasons, I have some disagreements with the production team. I am now announcing my withdrawal from the "Reunion" production team. Thank you for your support. I am very sorry that I cannot meet you on TV as originally planned and that I have disappointed you.

A brief Weibo post caused a huge stir.

True Love Ah Xun (No Explanation): What's going on? Why did you leave the crew, Great Demon King? Were you ostracized by the crew? Li Ping/Ta Cheng Chong Lou Juan Su Luo: Our Demon King, don't be sad. We can still film other shows even if we don't have this one!

Soon, Director Li's Weibo was flooded with comments. Fans of the "Demon King" were asking in confusion what had happened, while some dissatisfied fans were loudly cursing.

Afterwards, the Weibo post containing the trailer that Director Li had previously uploaded was deleted, and he responded to the incident on his Weibo account.

Li Ping (v): I didn't expect such a small matter to provoke such a strong reaction from you. Young man, you should calm down. Long Xun

Just as the PR team was about to respond, they became a troublemaker, muddying the waters and making it impossible for the audience to tell who was right and who was wrong... After all, they all felt that a wedding scene was insignificant for a celebrity, and Long Xun's attitude was making a mountain out of a molehill.

As long as their boss, Mr. Long, wants to stay in the entertainment industry, they will keep him away from all bad reputations.

However, when Long Xun returned to his luxurious villa on the outskirts of B City after a two-hour drive and was idly scrolling through Weibo, he saw the lively scene online.

The PR team's hired online trolls and ghostwriters have written numerous speculations, such as disagreements, suppression of newcomers, and even released a video of Gou Di yelling at Long Xun about "Don't underestimate a young man's potential"—Long Xun had no idea how they recorded it.

The internet was buzzing with excitement, but Long Xun's eyes turned cold.

"Tell them to stop."

Long Xun's fingers flew across the nine-square grid, and without looking up, he uttered a sentence that was so cold it felt like ice crystals would fall out. Ye Anan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but feel a chill. He quickly turned around and left the house, took out his phone and called the head of the public relations team, telling them to immediately stop all public relations activities.

Soon, a new post appeared on Long Xun's Weibo.

Long Xun v: I disagreed with filming the wedding scene, we negotiated, I refused to act, and I left the production team. The reason is mine, and has nothing to do with the production team. Thank you, Wang Yi, for your understanding.

This new Weibo post was so short that even those with poor comprehension skills couldn't quite understand it, and netizens immediately recognized who posted it—who else but their "Great Demon King" would be so lazy as to type an extra word?

Fish-flavored shredded pork without fish: I'm just a passerby, but I have to say, if I were the director, I would definitely want to cry too. It's just a wedding scene; which celebrity hasn't filmed one? This Long Xun thinks he really is a demon king just because he's called one? He actually refused to act; seriously, what a joke.

Little Stupid: Enough already! The Demon King thanked the female lead for her forgiveness, how could it be for this reason? /Little Mirror: Maybe/Blueberry Iced Tea: →_→/Jiangnan Blade Factory Manager: Was it because the female lead looked too ugly at the time that our Demon King couldn't bring himself to kiss her...?

Long Xun simply presented the cause, process, and result objectively. He didn't explain why he refused to act, and his final thanks made it difficult for those who wanted to criticize the female lead to do so.

Although Director Li was furious, Long Xun's PR team, even if they didn't take any action to shift the blame, wouldn't let others smear them. As a result, this incident of leaving the production team, which should have been a major confrontation, seemed to have gone rather calmly.

Afterwards, Wang Yi, who was in the circle, responded to Long Xun's words on Weibo.

Wang Yi v: Long Xun / Actually, I envy the person you love. You refused to perform at the wedding just because you didn't want to make her sad. I am also a woman, and I also want to be loved like that.

Wang Yi played a recording, and Long Xun's cold but firm voice moved countless netizens.

Cloudy Penglai: / Bawei: 2 / Little Fish Baby: 1 / Floating Boat: Suddenly moved by the truth...

True love Ah Xun needs no explanation: Shouldn't the main point be that the Great Demon King actually has someone he likes? My fragile heart is shattered! But considering how deeply the Great Demon King is in love, I'll still wish you happiness.

...

Long Xun stopped checking Weibo because Ye Anan had already gathered Yin Chen's basic information and sent it over.

With a photo and name, finding the person would be incredibly easy for the powerful Long Xun, since all he needed to do was find the person, not Yin Chen's entire life trajectory.

Yin Chen and he were in the same city, both freshmen at L University in B City. However, he did not live on campus but rented a rather luxurious apartment.
