Meanwhile, news about Jiang Bai's background continues to circulate online.

In particular, after the live broadcast, Shen Mingyue posted the paternity test results of Jiang Bai, Jiang Hechuan, and Bai Yanran directly on her Weibo.

The paternity test results immediately went viral and became a trending topic on Weibo.

After all, the live stream happened to be on a weekday, and not everyone has time to go to the live stream room to watch the drama unfold.

Moreover, although Shen Mingyue claims to have evidence, no one has actually seen it.

Afterwards, I was incredibly eager to find out more.

The paternity test results, with their irrefutable reality, definitively confirmed Jiang Bai's status as an illegitimate child.

The Weibo accounts of Jiang Hechuan, Bai Yanran, and Jiang Bai are filled with insults.

[My goodness, Jiang Hechuan is so cunning! If Jiang Bai's true identity hadn't been exposed, given the Jiang family's doting on him, Jiang Bai might actually have managed to usurp their place and inherit all their wealth.]

[Bai Yanran, I've liked you for so long, and I was even happy for you marrying that mysterious tycoon, but I never imagined you'd be a mistress!]

[Jiang Hechuan and Bai Yanran, get out of the entertainment industry! You are truly shameless; your actions have completely crossed the line!]

[You still have the nerve to make movies? Pah! With such shamelessness, who would support you! I certainly won't watch *Empress Dowager Xuanren*, and I won't watch any of Jiang Hechuan and Bai Yanran's future works!]

That's right, boycott Jiang Hechuan and Bai Yanran, and get them out of the entertainment industry!

I knew Jiang Bai was no good either. He's so cunning and manipulative. He's an adopted son, yet he managed to drive away someone else's biological child. He's definitely a scheming person.

Now it seems I was right after all, he's definitely an illegitimate child! No wonder he's so cunning, it's hereditary!

...

The entire internet is filled with criticism and slogans against Jiang Hechuan and Bai Yanran.

Under such circumstances, major cinema chains are naturally unwilling to take on the hot potato that is Empress Dowager Xuanren.

Not only did he cheat on his wife for so many years, but he also had an illegitimate child, which he then raised as an adopted son.

As insiders, they could naturally see that there were many things going on here, and many potential pitfalls.

For example, how did Jiang Bai manage to become an orphan?

How did you manage to complete the adoption procedures?

Most importantly, if they remember correctly, the Jiang family adopted Jiang Bai because their biological son, Jiang He, had been abducted.

The Jiang family adopted Jiang Bai to alleviate their grief and find solace after Jiang He was abducted and could not be found.

But now it has been revealed that Jiang Bai is actually Jiang Hechuan's illegitimate son.

So, the question is, was there really no foul play involved in Jiang He's abduction?

If Jiang Hechuan really did something, then it would be a huge bombshell.

Not to mention being banned across the entire internet, they'll probably have to work as a sewing machine operator.

They're not stupid, why would they take on such a tiring job?

They then issued statements saying that their cinemas would absolutely not screen Empress Dowager Xuanren and would not cooperate with disgraced artists or directors.

She deleted all the Weibo posts that had been used in conjunction with the promotion, and also unfollowed Jiang Hechuan and Bai Yanran.

The movie "Empress Dowager Xuanren" has been removed from the ticketing system, and cinemas have also removed posters and promotional materials for the film.

It can be said that the film "Empress Xuanren," which Jiang Hechuan invested a billion yuan in and poured a lot of effort into, has gone down the drain.

Not only did they fail to recoup their investment, they also had to compensate the cinemas for their advertising losses.

After all, there was a contract in place, and it was Jiang Hechuan and Bai Yanran's bad image that led to a boycott from the entire internet, which prevented the movie from being released as scheduled.

They did all the necessary promotions and ticket sales.

The costs incurred must naturally be recouped.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Hechuan was practically spitting blood.

He's really overwhelmed right now, with a mountain of lawsuits on his head.

His divorce case with Shen Mingyue is about to go to court, and his business partner is now demanding compensation from him.

He gets criticized by netizens every day.

Moreover, those connections he had before are no longer answering his calls.

If you have a good relationship with him, when he begs and pleads for help, you can subtly tell him that you can't help.

The impact of this incident is too bad. Although it's not explicitly stated, there's a subconscious consensus in the industry that no one will hire Jiang Hechuan to make movies in the future.

No one will buy into his act anymore, and he can no longer participate in official events.

It's fair to say that his career has come to an end.

Considering our past good relationship and friendship, I advised him to stop causing trouble, keep a low profile, gather all the funds he could, and neatly wrap up the whole thing about adopting Jiang Bai.

Don't make mistakes, just live your life well.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Hechuan plopped down in a chair, his back soaked with sweat.

He wasn't stupid; he naturally understood what the other person meant.

It seems that his worst fears have come true.

He tried many methods to get Jiang Bai back into the Jiang family in a legitimate way.

He had considered confronting Shen Mingyue, but at that time, he and Shen Mingyue were too deeply intertwined.

If his relationship with Bai Yanran comes to light, his image will be ruined.

Therefore, he had no choice but to take an unconventional approach and do some extreme things.

He thought he could keep this secret forever.

Unexpectedly, with the exposure of Jiang Bai's background, he was indeed suspected.

That's right, he should have expected this day.

We're all in the same circle; everyone's smart, not stupid.

However, Jiang Hechuan was genuinely glad that he had instructed his trusted confidants to clean up the mess and eliminate all clues early on.

Jiang Hechuan was still worried, so he made another call to his trusted confidant.

He confirmed that he had already had all the clues taken care of.

I also visited Lao Zhou in prison, and used a combination of threats, inducements, and soft tactics to make him choose to keep quiet and never tell anyone about what happened for the rest of his life.

Just put his mind at ease.

Jiang Hechuan felt half relieved.

I checked Shen Mingyue's latest Weibo post online, and it was just an update about her wanting to file for divorce.

Netizens were applauding and cheering.

They said they supported her divorce and pressed her for details about her plans for the lawsuit, such as when the trial would be held.

As for Jiang He being abducted, she didn't mention it at all.

Seeing this, Jiang Hechuan's other half was also relieved.

Based on his understanding of Shen Mingyue, even at this point, she hasn't brought this matter up to denounce him.

So she probably really didn't know, or she simply hadn't thought about it that way at all.

Otherwise, given her current hatred for him, if she had evidence and suspicions, she would definitely expose him.
