"Old Master, please don't say that," the butler advised. "No matter what, the eldest young master is still your own grandson. Does changing his surname to Lin make him no longer the same?"

Old Master Bai sneered: "I really wish he wasn't. Just like his father, who's so low-class, he's only just turned over in the sun and he can't wait to shake himself off."

Just because they opened an entertainment company and made a little money, this father and son have become incredibly arrogant.

The butler lowered his head and said nothing; there were some things the old man could say, but he couldn't.

"Grandpa!"

Upon hearing the sound, Old Master Bai's eyes lit up.

Bai Yan strode over to the old man's side and leaned affectionately against him from behind. "You're back? Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I would have picked you up from the airport."

In the original owner's memory, her maternal grandfather was the only person who did not favor Ji An'an. Unfortunately, the old man's heart was traumatized by the death of his daughter in his early years, so he lived abroad for many years, relying on high-end precision instruments to maintain his health.

Grandpa Bai held his granddaughter's hand: "They've all moved to the new house, but you didn't go?"

Bai Yan lowered her head and smiled nonchalantly: "That castle belongs to Ji An'an, it wasn't bought for me."

Grandpa Bai patted Bai Yan's hand, "Lin Mingjing ignores my words..." He got a little angry as he spoke, but his illness made him very sensitive to anger.

"Grandpa, don't be angry. If they won't buy me a castle, I can just rob one myself."

Bai Yan gently patted the old man's back, "Uncle Chen, where's Grandpa's medicine?"

Even after the old man finished taking his medicine, his anger hadn't subsided: "I never liked Lin Mingjing back then, but your mother was determined to marry him. See? This is the consequence—an illegitimate daughter has entered our household!"

"Your brother is a fool too. He didn't inherit any of my good qualities. He inherited all of your father's good-for-nothing traits!" The old man, who had a heart condition, could still swear, which showed how volatile his temper was.

"Grandpa, do you know Ji An'an's identity?" Bai Yan asked.

Old Master Bai sighed, "I was afraid you'd be upset before, and your father, still concerned about his reputation, kept it a secret from you, saying she was an adopted daughter, so I kept it from you too. But now..."

"If I had known you would suffer like this, I should have taken you abroad with me."

Grandpa Bai asked, puzzled, "Xiao Yan, why did you call and insist that your grandfather come back to China? What happened?"

Bai Yan smiled and said, "Don't rush to talk about that. Let me show you something interesting."

As she spoke, she turned on the television screen in the living room and turned to look at the old man: "Grandpa, Lin Mingjing and Lin Ruohan have made a big show of returning to their ancestral home. Aren't you angry?"

Old Master Bai was very honest: "If I didn't have a heart problem, I would have gone to their door long ago!"

Lin Mingjing was able to gain a foothold in Beijing because of the Bai family. However, the father and son had only just established themselves in Beijing when their first act was to change their surname, which naturally displeased the old man greatly.

"Do you want to see them learn a lesson?" Bai Yan asked again.

Grandpa Bai frowned, looking at his granddaughter with confusion: "What lesson?"

Bai Yan turned to look at the screen: "Isn't this the lesson we're about to learn?"

...

At that time, the banquet hall of the Lin family was still bustling with activity. Lin Ruohan was raising a wine glass and drinking with Song Rizhao in the center of the hall. Song Rizhao asked, "You've made such a big deal out of this. Aren't you afraid that Old Master Bai will get anxious and upset?"

Lin Ruohan scoffed, "With my current wealth, I don't need to bow down to him."

Song Rizhao smiled and said, "That's true. No matter how glorious Old Master Bai was, it was all in the past."

"A toast to us." Lin Ruohan raised her glass.

Song Rizhao also raised his glass: "To Anping."

The two had just clinked their glasses when the banquet hall doors were suddenly pushed open, followed by the sound of alarms. A group of police officers, guns drawn, surrounded the entire hall. "Hands up, everyone! Don't move!"

Before Lin Ruohan and the others could react, the police had already taken action and handcuffed several of the contracted celebrities and high-ranking officials from Anping who had attended the banquet.

"Holy crap!" At this moment, the entertainment reporter was bolder than anyone else, and picked up his phone to take a series of pictures of the people who were arrested at the scene.

The once-high-ranking movie stars were handcuffed, and many celebrities that Anping could name were taken away in police cars.

That evening, the trending topics exploded in a phenomenal way.

Mu Yuanchen only made a symbolic remark, referring to half of the entertainment industry.

But the real issue now is that the vast majority of Star Entertainment's well-known artists have been taken away for investigation.

[Oh my god, is this photo real? I see Shen Bingrou! Was she taken away too?]

What exactly happened? Where is the person in charge of Anping Film and Television's official account? Please say something!

[Breaking news! The person in charge of the account has also been summoned for questioning. Including President Lin Ruohan, the entire company is now on standby...]

As the police released the full details of the incident, a major earthquake began in the entertainment industry.

When you find that an apple's surface is rotten and spoiled, the inside has already been overgrown with bacteria.

If Xingyu has one Mu Yuanchen on the surface, there will be many more behind the scenes.

Anping Film and Television, just like Bai Yan said before, is a company where everyone from top to bottom is exposed like a bamboo pole, and none of them are good. The scandals that broke that night made the gossip-loving public jump around, almost to the point of diarrhea.

Beijing's official Weibo account: With the evidence presented by suspect Mu and his cooperation in the investigation, we have cracked down on the largest underground prostitution ring in China. Further details regarding the officials involved and the money laundering and other illegal activities will be released later.

Shortly after the official announcement, a lot of unofficial information also surfaced.

Shen Bingqing is a drug addict; Liu Rou once conspired with a leader to drive a fellow trainee to suicide in order to snatch a role; and Liu Yi, the current top star of Xingyu Entertainment, secretly organizes the company's minor stars to sell their bodies to climb the ladder...

The truth of the matter remains to be seen, but everyone is clear on one fact: Anping Film and Television has truly collapsed, and this time it's a complete and utter collapse! How can it not be a collapse when more than half of the actors from a film and television company are unable to appear on screen?

After the incident was exposed, all of Anping Film and Television's so-called unreleased dramas and film and television resources became hot potatoes stuck in their hands!

Nowadays, China's attitude towards celebrities with bad records is very clear: no video website or TV station is willing to spend a lot of money to buy Anping's films and TV dramas.

In other words, all the videos and source materials that Lin Ruohan spent hundreds of millions to produce in Anping's resource library have now become worthless.

Although Lin Ruohan was the president of Anping, he was not involved in the previous matter and was released after being questioned for one night.

He returned to Anping in a daze, and only then did he loosen his tie slightly from his collar. His secretary rushed into the office and said anxiously, "President Lin, the stock market has opened, and our stock price is plummeting. If it keeps falling like this, we're going to collapse!"
