Chapter 65: A Bounty of 500 Million (Second Update)...

No matter how Qi Sheng tries to stir up trouble and divert attention, netizens aren't stupid. Since its inception, the first cover of "Tianxiu" magazine has always featured either a solo photo or a photo of a man and a woman together; there has never been a photo of two men together.

Moreover, judging from the blank outlines of the figures, one of them is Don Juan. Of the remaining nine guests, only two are female.

It's either Wang Xia or Jiang Mingyue.

Wang Xia is a retired track and field athlete who had no prior work connection with Don Juan, so netizens tend to favor Jiang Mingyue.

This time, the fans of the first love CP (couple pairing) did not go to the comment section of the official Weibo account of "Tianxiu" to cause trouble, perhaps because they heard some rumors.

The ginger and candy CP fans suddenly lost their overwhelming rival and gradually grew stronger.

[Best Actor VS. Jiang Jie: A Clash of Titans, Stay Tuned for the Magazine!]

[I bet a pack of spicy strips that Sister Jiang can't wear a skirt.]

I bet ten packs of spicy strips that Sister Jiang will wear a skirt.

[Family members, be generous! I'll bet 100 packs of spicy strips, and the movie star will get five photos with Sister Jiang!]

With the help of fans of the Jiang Tang CP, Don Juan Jiang Mingyue's first cover of "Tianxiu" at the beginning of the year topped the trending searches on Weibo.

Don Juan's fans avoided direct confrontation and instead promoted "The Show" magazine everywhere. Some trolls took the opportunity to sow discord between the two parties and try to create conflict.

[The actor's fans are of high quality; they only focus on promoting the magazine, unlike the fans of the "Ginger and Sugar CP" who are always trying to find something to say about them.]

It's obvious who's trying to piggyback on your traffic.

Don't take out loans in advance to gain traffic. If the person in the photo isn't Jiang Mingyue, you Jiang fans and Jiang-Tang CP fans will be incredibly embarrassed.

[Jiang Mingyue announced her retirement from the entertainment industry, but she's still taking on work. What kind of industry is she retiring from?]

Don Juan's Weibo account has 150 million followers, nearly 100 million of whom are active. Moreover, the majority of his followers are over 25 years old, are mature in all aspects, and have high moral character, so they don't easily engage in online insults and shouting.

Fans follow their idols' lead, right?

Jiang Mingyue's fan base has quietly surpassed ten million. The age range of her fans is quite ambiguous, ranging from as young as seven or eight to as old as fifty or sixty.

Influenced by Jiang Mingyue, most of Jiang's fans are Buddhist-like, but being Buddhist-like does not mean that they are soft-hearted and easily bullied.

Sister Jiang is known in the industry as "Jiang the Debater" because she criticized Tan Li during a live broadcast of a variety show and subtly criticized Hai Wei during an interview at the All-Star Games.

Like its owner, ginger powder is also quite effective in improving one's health.

The fans of both sides joined forces to fight back against the haters.

[Hatemakers, please don't try to sow discord. I'm a fan of both the Best Actor and Sister Jiang's career.]

[Ginger fans wish "Heavenly Show" magazine great success]

[Fans of the award-winning actor wish Sister Jiang a successful concert]

[Ginger and Sugar CP fans stand behind me. I'm a ginger fan. Let's see who dares to cause trouble here.]

[As Sister Jiang herself said, if shipping couples brings us joy, then it's her honor. So, all Jiang-Sugar couple fans belong to us, the Jiang fans!]

Kuroko's attempt to sow discord failed, his defenses crumbled, and he scurried away with his tail between his legs.

The fact that Tianxiu magazine did not come forward to clarify, and that Tang Huang's team did not rush to repost Tianxiu's official Weibo post, further convinced netizens that the co-star was Jiang Mingyue.

After seeing the trending topic, Tan Li and Liu Mo'er were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment, and they gossiped about it behind each other's backs.

"Jiang Mingyue is really lucky to have climbed up to Don Juan's big tree."

"MoMo, let's try to think positively. She'll officially retire from the entertainment industry after the concert."

"Well, that's the only way to think about it."

Liao Zhijie has already left the South Island and flown to Beijing. He intends to visit Zhang Wangjiang in person.

It's strange that Zhang Wangjiang isn't answering his calls.

Liao Zhijie was afraid something bad would happen.

Another reason was that he was afraid to sleep at the Grand Hyatt Hotel because he had nightmares every time he tried to sleep. He decided to take the opportunity to go to a temple in Beijing to pray and get rid of the bad luck.

Liao Zhijie was turned away at the door of Zhang Wangjiang's private office building; the receptionist said that Mr. Zhang had not returned.

Liao Zhijie was puzzled and could only continue to ask his friends in the industry for information.

Around 1 p.m., someone delivered a message to him.

“Zhijie, stop looking for Zhang Wangjiang. Zhang Wangjiang’s third uncle got into trouble, and he might be implicated. Take this opportunity to cut ties with him and don’t get yourself into trouble.”

Liao Zhijie was startled and wanted to ask a few more questions, but the other party immediately hung up the phone.

When Liao Zhijie called again, the other party blocked him.

Liao Zhijie could no longer sit still. This man had taken a lot of benefits from him, and now he had blocked him at this critical juncture. It was clear that the Zhang family's affairs had far-reaching implications.

No wonder Jiang Mingyue was alright. Zhang Wangjiang left the Grand Hyatt Hotel in a hurry; it turned out that his third uncle had run into trouble.

In fact, Liao Zhijie was hoping that Zhang Wangjiang would really get into trouble, preferably die in there once and for all, get rid of this bloodsucker Zhang Wangjiang, and he could save a lot of money every year.

Hmph, Jiang Mingyue got off easy.

Liao Zhijie was unhappy but there was nothing he could do. With the concert just around the corner, it would be too time-consuming and laborious to find someone to move Jiang Mingyue again, so he could only leave it at that for now.

An old house in the city center of Beijing.

Since He Yan was found and brought back to Linjiang, he has been kept in the old house, spending his days drinking tea and playing chess with Grandpa He.

He Yan was practically rotting away from home. He wanted to go to the South Island to see the Clover Girls' farewell concert, but no one would approve.

He called Yan Qian for help, "Brother Yan, can you put in a good word for me with the old man? He always gives you face. With your people watching over me, I'm sure I'm safe."

Yan Qian refused He Yan, "It concerns your safety. It's no use me talking to him. The bounty for you has already been increased to 500 million. Do you think the old man will agree to that?"

Five hundred million, what the hell!

He Yan just couldn't understand why those thugs kept targeting him! His father had so many sons, couldn't they have kidnapped someone else?!

With his elder brother far away overseas, and even Yan Qian refusing to help him, He Yan was truly at his wit's end.

When playing chess with Grandpa He after dinner, He Yan was absent-minded and listless.

He Yan is the youngest grandson in the He family. He grew up under the care of his grandfather, and thus was spared the scheming and intrigue of the He family, retaining his innocence and kindness.

Grandpa He put down the chess piece in his hand. "Then we absolutely have to go to the concert?"

He Yan's dog eyes lit up suddenly. Seeing that Grandpa He had brought up the concert, he hurriedly explained excitedly.

"Grandpa! The concert is secondary. I mainly want to see my friend. If you meet her, you will definitely like her. She is different from other girls!"

"How different can they be? Aren't they all just two eyes and one mouth?"

He Yan quickly took out his phone and searched online for videos related to Jiang Mingyue.

"Grandpa, let me show you this video of Sister Jiang walking the runway. She has announced her retirement from the entertainment industry, and this concert is her last job before retiring. I want to go to the venue to support her and cheer her on!"

Grandpa He had a good eye for people, and after a while he commented, "Hmm, he seems like a pretty upright kid."

He Yan asked pitifully, "So Grandpa agrees to let me go?"

Grandpa He clapped his hands, picked up his teacup and said with a smile, "I haven't been to the South Island in a long time, so I'll take this opportunity to see my old comrades."

He Yan was overjoyed, but his smile froze the next second. The people around the old man were not the bodyguards hired by the He family, so he figured he wouldn't be able to sneak out to play by himself.

When Yan Qian received the news that the He family grandfather and grandson were coming to the South Island, he was immediately in a real bind.

He called his childhood friend who was recuperating abroad, saying, "If you're not going to die, go and take care of that old man and the child. He Yan alone is worth 500 million, and with your grandfather on top of that, things are really in chaos."
