Chang Fengyuan vaguely guessed the reason why the Chang family was being targeted, but he dared not tell the CEO of the Chang family.

He can't very well say it's because of himself, can he?

He had finally managed to establish an image of exceptional ability in front of the company and his father, making Chang Yue, who only knew how to pick up girls and men in the entertainment industry, look like dirt. If his father knew that he had angered Yin Chengjue because of his mistress's small request, he would definitely be so angry that he would chop him up.

Actually, it wasn't a big deal to just anger Yin Chengjue. Chang Fengyuan had never taken Yin Chengjue seriously before. In his eyes, Yin Chengjue was just like Chang Yue, a useless playboy who only knew how to mess around in the entertainment industry. Any random shot from an entertainment reporter would include Yin Chengjue. He didn't seem like someone who could be relied on.

Unexpectedly, just because of a kidnapping, Yin Chengjue went to such lengths for the kidnapped minor artist, directly clashing with the Chang family.

Chang Fengyuan felt remorse, but it was too late.

President Chang wasn't stupid. After a quick investigation, he found out the reason. He was so angry that he scolded Chang Fengyuan and told him to go back and reflect on his actions. He also told him to hand over the company's affairs to someone else to manage temporarily.

This decision, while seemingly showing disdain for Chang Fengyuan, was actually a way of protecting him.

This concerns the company's interests, and the senior management of Chang's Company will definitely be dissatisfied with Chang Fengyuan. It would be better to leave this mess to someone else to handle.

Seeing the Chang family in a state of chaos, Yin Chengjue was in a good mood. Just then, good news came from Sally: she had contacted a director who was good at making supernatural films, and the next step was to cast the actors.

Sally: "...There's another piece of news. Casting for 'The Chase' is complete, and filming has started. If we don't act quickly, we probably won't be able to release it at the same time as them."

If they want to compete with "The Chase" at the box office, they must finish filming before "The Chase" because "The Haunted" is a supernatural film and requires post-production enhancements to bring out that ghostly feeling.

Sally acted quickly, and coincidentally, the director was available. The parties arranged a time to meet at the hotel, quickly discussed the matter, and finally agreed to set the audition time for three days later.

When Rong Yu learned that auditions for "Ghostly Trace" had begun, her first reaction was: "Brother, you promised me before that Ming Qian would play the role of the protagonist's friend."

Yin Chengjue feigned ignorance: "Hmm? Is that so?"

Rong Yu smiled: "Yes, brother, are you going back on your word?"

Yin Chengjue: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Therefore, Yin Chengjue had no choice but to inform Sally and Director Mo that the role of the male lead's friend had been decided for Ming Qian.

Sally, upon hearing the news for the first time: "..."

Sally: "Is there something wrong with my ears?"

Yin Chengjue: "If you hear the words 'Ming Qian,' then your hearing is fine, and you don't need to go to the hospital."

Sally was utterly puzzled: "Is this author a fan of the 'Radiant Beauty' couple?"

Yin Chengjue: "Please don't make such assumptions that make me feel uncomfortable, thank you."

Sally: "But now the whole internet knows they don't get along, and I can't even imagine what their fans would do if they were to appear in the same show."

After pondering for a moment, Yin Chengjue said, "That's not necessarily true..."

Sally: "Huh?"

Yin Chengjue: "In any case, let's settle this matter for now. Let's speed up the casting process and start filming next week."

The auditions for "Ghost" started quickly. Since there weren't many characters, casting wasn't difficult. In addition, Rong Yu and Ming Qian had already been cast as the male lead and his friend, respectively. For the other main roles, they only needed to find a psychologist and a car driver.

Originally, Yin Chengjue was hoping that Mingqian wouldn't be able to make time for the role, so she wouldn't be able to take the part. However, to his surprise, after reading the script and hearing that Mingqian had been invited to play the role of the male lead's friend, Haolin actually made time for Mingqian.

Because artists from Huansheng Entertainment were given priority, the auditions for other roles were all for familiar faces.

Li Qiao also brought the five qualified teenagers, and they were obviously very hardworking. Although they only had three days to receive the script, they quickly memorized the lines of the roles they wanted to audition for and successfully passed Director Mo's review.

Because Yin Chengjue was busy with the affairs of his new company, he didn't have time to participate in the audition, so the task fell to Director Mo. Director Mo was quite happy to do so, since he was going to direct the film himself, and it would be best to have the power to cast the actors in his own hands.

After casting for "Ghost" was completed, "Blood Mist" was airing its first season finale, which featured the most shocking and suffocating fifth case—"The Crime of Lies."

In this fifth case, a serial killer emerged who specifically targeted young children, and each time he would cut off the child's tongue before cruelly torturing and killing them.

The killer's brutality is infuriating, but after hearing his monologue, they are shocked by his tragic fate.

The source of the tragedy was those lies, those lies spoken by children, those innocent lies that turned into a huge disaster, completely destroying and shattering a once happy and fulfilling family.

Hatred festers in the ruins, eventually becoming a terrible vicious cycle.

The actor who played the tragically murderous villain was Lu Muyang, also known as Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan is Lu Muyang's stage name. According to Fei Zhengqi, the Fei family only provided financial assistance to Lu Muyang back then, but had no intention of adopting him. Therefore, Lu Muyang still used the name that was tucked into his bag when he was abandoned. Later, when he entered the entertainment industry, he adopted a new stage name, which he has used ever since.

This is one of the reasons why Yin Chengjue didn't immediately realize who Lu Muyang was when Zheng Qi first mentioned him.

Lu Muyang played the villain in the final case, and his complex character successfully attracted the attention of drama fans, and his Weibo followers also increased rapidly.

Soon, someone dug up Lu Muyang's past and found out that he had debuted as part of a group. If you really want to count, Lu Muyang is considered a senior actor in the "Blood Mist" cast, after all, he debuted early.

However, Lu Muyang's boy band didn't last long before it disbanded. The group members went their separate ways and never appeared together again. The original group fans have probably all scattered by now. The fact that netizens were able to recognize him this time is thanks to the gossip account.

Without the "hints" from these marketing accounts, probably not many people would remember this.

Just as everyone started discussing Lu Muyang, also known as Qi Yuan, following the lead of the gossip account, another revelation was released, revealing the reason why their boy band disbanded back then.

It turns out that Lu Muyang became arrogant after his initial success and became carried away by the praise of his fans. He felt that he could develop his career on his own rather than as part of a team, so he decisively announced his departure.

That boy band was indeed carried by Lu Muyang at the time. With his looks, singing and dancing skills, and talent, Lu Muyang firmly occupied the center position in the boy band. This was also one of the reasons why Lu Muyang was ambitious and wanted to go solo.

Unexpectedly, Lu Muyang's first drama after going solo was banned due to content violations. In order to gain exposure, he had no choice but to immediately join another drama. However, due to overwork, he lost focus while dodging explosions needed for filming a scene, tripped, and failed to escape the explosion range in time. He was hit in the face by flying debris from the explosion and suffered disfigurement.

For celebrities who rely on their looks to attract fans, their face is their money; without a good face, they can't control their money.

Disfigured, Lu Muyang had no choice but to temporarily withdraw from the entertainment industry, only to return today.

So here's the question: Lu Muyang disappeared because he was disfigured, but now he's back with a good-looking face, so he must have had plastic surgery, right?

Although the redesign restored his original appearance, it inevitably lowered his standing in the eyes of netizens.

Reality is just that cruel.

People who were initially feeling sorry for Lu Muyang, who had been in the industry for so long and had decent looks and acting skills, but hadn't become famous sooner, instantly lost their sympathy after seeing this revelation.

Well, what's there to regret? He brought the boy band's disbandment upon himself, so he can't blame anyone else. If he had bad luck with acting roles afterward, that just means what goes around comes around.

Seeing the cacophony of online opinions, Yin Chengjue knew without a second thought that the later revelation was Fei Zhengqi's doing.

Yin Chengjue devised a plan to strike at the Chang family, so President Chang had no choice but to temporarily remove Chang Fengyuan from the Chang family's management center and send him home to reflect on his mistakes. As a result, Lu Muyang was temporarily left without anyone to protect him, which made it easier for Fei Zhengqi to take action.

Otherwise, it's unknown whether Chang Fengyuan would have discovered and removed the messages that Fei Zhengqi bribed people to send earlier.

"Boss, the proposal has been received. Do you want to see it now?" A voice broke Yin Chengjue's thoughts. Yin Chengjue looked up from the computer and patted his left side: "Leave it here for now. I'll try to finish reading it this morning and we can discuss it in detail at the meeting at 3 pm."

"Okay, boss." After a pause, the voice seemed a little hesitant, "Boss, there are so many proposals here. If you want to finish reading them before the afternoon, then you won't be able to rest. That will easily wear you out."

Yin Chengjue had already opened his palm, waiting for the assistant to place the proposal in his hand so he could take it and flip through it. But after waiting for two seconds, he received this sentence. He thought to himself: "Say less. I've already started reviewing it. I'm really worried that I won't get a break. You might as well give it to me to see sooner."

Without looking up, Yin Chengjue tapped the table and urged, "Put it in my hand. You can go and prepare the materials needed for the meeting this afternoon."

"……OK."
