After receiving Jack's ultimatum, Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan felt as if an invisible force was gripping their throats, making even their breathing heavy. The atmosphere in the conference room was suffocatingly oppressive; all eyes were on the two of them, awaiting a decision to break the deadlock.

"We can't sit idly by any longer. We must release the evidence and expose their conspiracy! Even if it causes a media storm, it's better than waiting to be killed." A core member of the crew couldn't help but break the silence and said emotionally.

“But after the evidence is made public, it’s hard to predict what crazy things our competitors might do, and the overseas distribution of the new series will only become more difficult,” another member expressed concern.

Ling Yichen rubbed his temples, trying to piece together a clear path through his chaotic thoughts. He looked at Jun Mo Ran, his eyes full of inquiry: "What do you think?"

Jun Mo Ran pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Publicizing evidence is a double-edged sword; we cannot act rashly. Perhaps we can first communicate with the Jack platform, using this evidence as our trump card to demonstrate our determination and ability to solve the problem, and gain more time and support."

Ling Yichen nodded slightly, having made up his mind. He immediately dialed Jack's number and explained in detail the situation the production team was currently facing, including the malicious actions of their competitors and the evidence they possessed. Jack remained silent for a long time on the other end of the line before finally saying, "I sympathize with your situation, but our platform also has its own considerations. If you can't give me a practical solution today, it will be very difficult for us to continue our cooperation."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Yichen took a deep breath and said to everyone, "We have no way out. We must resolve all the issues today. On the one hand, we need to prepare for the public disclosure of evidence and reveal the truth to the public immediately if necessary. On the other hand, we need to have in-depth communication with the censorship departments of the other two countries to gain their trust."

Therefore, the production team split into two groups. The legal and publicity teams worked diligently to prepare for the public release of evidence, compiling all the materials and drafting a detailed statement, ready to release it at the appropriate time. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran personally led their teams to hold video conferences with the censorship departments of the other two countries.

During the video conference, Ling Yichen sincerely reiterated the creative intent and cultural connotations of the new drama, presenting more comprehensive evidence and cultural interpretation plans. His earnest words and firm attitude conveyed the production team's sincerity to the censors. However, the officials still harbored doubts about some details, leading to a stalemate in the meeting.

Just then, Jun Mo Ran suddenly came up with a solution. She proposed to the censorship department that she invite local cultural experts and scholars to participate in the review process of the new drama, allowing them to evaluate and guide it from a professional perspective. This proposal was approved by the censorship department, who said they would contact the relevant experts as soon as possible to arrange the evaluation.

Although they had temporarily bought some time, the deadline set by Jack was drawing ever closer. The legal and public relations teams were also ready to release the evidence, awaiting only Ling Yichen's order.

Meanwhile, competitors seemed to have noticed the production team's actions and intensified their media offensive, releasing more false information online in an attempt to further smear the new drama. Faced with this increasingly fierce media battle, the pressure on the production team was mounting.

"We can't continue to be passive like this; we must take the initiative," Ling Yichen said through gritted teeth, looking at the constantly scrolling negative comments on the screen.

He decided to release a statement before making the evidence public, revealing some of the competitor's malicious actions but without mentioning the key evidence, in order to guide public opinion and pave the way for the release of the evidence.

The statement immediately caused a huge uproar online. Many netizens began to question the competitor's actions, and public opinion gradually shifted. However, the competitor did not stop there; they began to launch personal attacks on members of the production crew in an attempt to divert public attention.

Just as the situation was becoming increasingly tense, Ling Yichen received the first call from the national censorship department where he would conduct a video defense. They stated that after further investigation and verification, they had confirmed that the new drama did not have any cultural infringement issues and could be approved for distribution in their country. This news thrilled the entire production team, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

However, the joy didn't last long. With less than two hours left until Jack's deadline, and the results of the reviews from the other two countries still pending, Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan stood by the office window, watching the sky gradually darken outside, their hearts filled with anxiety and unease.
