Ten minutes after the call was made, two police cars appeared in front of the TV station.
Under the gaze of everyone, five uniformed policemen got out of the police car and walked together from the door to the filming room, attracting everyone's attention wherever they went.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yan Xinyue impatiently slapped her assistant's hand. "Alright, stop repairing it. It's useless. No matter how you repair it, it will look ugly! Collect the fruit cores on the ground and throw them away!"
The assistant looked up, a look of helplessness flashed across his big eyes, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end. He silently put away the manicure tools, picked up the cherry pits on the ground with his bare hands, and finally gathered all the pits together, wrapped them in paper and took them out.
The agent sighed as he looked at the assistant's back, which somewhat resembled Yan Xinyue. He then looked at Yan Xinyue and said, "She didn't do anything wrong. You should be nicer to her. What if..."
Yan Xinyue flew into a rage upon hearing this. She glared at her agent with her wide eyes. "What if? What if? You have to understand, I'm the boss. I'm the one paying her. I can do whatever I want!"
The agent shut up helplessly.
Yan Xinyue glanced at her phone, and seeing that the time was almost up, she snorted and walked towards the filming studio with a twist of her waist. Her agent sighed and followed her.
As she was walking, Yan Xinyue suddenly felt a strong aura behind her. When she turned around, she saw five policemen in uniform. Her eyes widened and she stood there in shock.
It was not until the police walked away that she saw Park Shun walking towards her. They had worked together on a short play last year, so they knew each other.
She ran to Park Soon, seemed frightened, and covered her chest with her hands: "Did you see that just now? There are police! Did something happen here?"
Pu Shun was startled, his eyebrows knitted together, but he immediately recovered and looked at Yan Xinyue: "What are you afraid of? Is there something wrong with you?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xinyue rolled her eyes. "What could possibly happen to me? You should be careful. This show is really weird. Don't make it into some serious news."
Park Shun smiled coldly: "Mind your own business." After saying that, he turned around to leave, and suddenly his cell phone rang.
He swiped away immediately. Although he was very fast, Yan Xinyue saw the profile picture. It was a girl who looked like a high school student.
A group of five police officers arrived at the studio, led by Captain Gu's apprentice Pei You. The director was already waiting at the door to greet them. Upon seeing them, he immediately went over to them.
"Hello, officers. The facts are exactly as I just reported to the police. We have surveillance cameras that can be viewed at any time. Also, the previous video was accidentally broadcast while we were debugging our equipment. Quite a few people saw it, and everyone can testify."
Pei You frowned and thought: "So, you mean that the whole process of the suspect molesting others was broadcast live?"
The other policemen froze. Although they didn't say anything, their expressions clearly expressed: [Shock, awesome, fun...]
The director was speechless and could only nod: "Well, that's probably what it means..."
The director held his head, roaring inwardly: My head hurts, I don’t understand, I can’t figure out why things turned out like this...
Two days ago, he would never have imagined that the police would come to visit before the show officially started filming.
Pei You nodded and looked at him calmly: "Where is the suspect?"
The director took a deep breath and said, "In the lounge, follow me."
The marketing account was stunned when they saw the police officers coming in. When they reacted, their tone was full of excitement as if they had just found a big news:
"Family, friends, do you know what I just saw? A team of police officers walked over! The leader even had a conversation with the director. I never expected the production team to be so tough and call the police!"
The live broadcast room was full of joy:
Did the police really go? Holy crap, it feels like a dream. I just saw the once-popular beauty fall from grace, and immediately the police are there to arrest her. It was so fast I couldn't even keep up.
So, just a quick question: Is Zhang Chihao going to jail? It feels like a dream to me too. I only watched the livestream for two hours this morning, and now I'm about to witness the arrest of a top star? Shocking! I never expected this to happen. Remember, I was still watching his drama yesterday. It turns out his reputation collapsed in an instant...
[He deserves his death, he deserves it! He was allowed to bully girls, and he couldn't control his lower body. If he can't control it, the police will take care of it for him. Go in!]
The director took Pei You into the lounge and saw Zhang Chihao lying on the ground and Wen Qianqian sitting next to him leisurely eating snacks.
Pei You was stunned. He had just heard the police call about Wen Qianqian being nearly molested, and he was furious. He immediately arranged for his men to dash all the way to the TV station as fast as they could. He was still thinking about what to say to comfort her.
But when I saw the scene in front of me, I suddenly felt that all those words of comfort were in vain.
Zhang Chihao heard the noise, looked up, and found that it was a team of police officers. He was so scared that he almost fainted.
But Pei You didn't show any good face to him, and just waved his hand coldly: "Take it away."
As soon as he finished speaking, two policemen came over and lifted Zhang Chihao from the ground. At this time, Zhang Chihao was so scared that his whole body was limp and his legs were shaking. The two policemen simply held him on both sides and dragged him out with his feet off the ground.
After arresting the man, Pei You's expression finally relaxed. He looked at Wen Qianqian with concern: "How are you? Are you scared?"
Wen Qianqian shook her head: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
After hearing this, Pei You couldn't help but curse inwardly: "This bastard!"
Wen Qianqian smiled. She had never seen Pei You scold anyone before, so she said to him, "Don't worry, he really didn't scare me. As soon as he started to fight, I stepped on him." After saying that, she made a stepping gesture.
Pei You was amused by her and finally looked relieved: "Okay, I'm glad you're okay. We won't let this bastard go easily. We'll give him a good trial when we get back."
After saying that, he looked at her and said, "But since you are the person involved in this matter, you and the director will have to go back with us to make a statement. It will probably take about an hour, so it won't take too long."
Wen Qianqian nodded immediately: "Don't worry, no problem."
Then a group of policemen dragged Zhang Chihao, Wen Qianqian and the director followed behind, and the group walked through the hall in a mighty manner.
So everyone in the marketing account's live broadcast room saw Zhang Chihao wailing and refusing to leave, but being dragged away by the police:
My whole family was shocked. I'm so excited to see the police arresting traffic users in my lifetime. This live broadcast was so worth watching. I decided to give the streamer two rockets!
I never expected that the so-called "high-class flower" among fans would fall so completely. I thought he would at least behave respectably when he was arrested, but his image was completely destroyed. I really don't know what to say.
[Decent? All that calmness, wit, rigor, and restraint are just the characterization the company gave him. I emphasize again, don't bring the character into real life, otherwise it will only lead to tragedy. To be honest, I've had some personal contact with that idiot, and he's exactly like this in real life.]
Soon, the topic #Zhang Chihao was arrested by the police# was ranked first in the hot search, and many netizens were confused and didn’t know what was going on.
Netizens who watched the live broadcast immediately made animated GIFs of Zhang Chihao's crooked smile, greasy winks, and licking his fingers with a thick tongue coating and sent them to the confused crowd.
Then, they all vomited.
[Can you please talk nicely and stop posting pictures? I'm begging you. This is the third time I've vomited. Can you please give the child a chance to live?]
[Damn, damn, why is he so greasy and so wretched? Ahhhhhhh, I can’t stand it!]
[Well done, great job! Thank you police officers for your hard work! Even the detention center is being harassed by this guy.]
[I really want to poke my eyes out. What on earth was wrong with me that I liked him before? Damn, I feel like throwing up now!]
In just a few hours, Zhang Chihao's Weibo followers dropped by 5 million, setting a record for the fastest loss of followers in history.
However, amidst the uproar, a second-tier actress Jiang Lan suddenly started posting on Weibo to criticize him:
Seeing today's trending search, I suddenly felt incredibly happy. I worked with Zhang Chihao for a while, and that one incident alone gives me goosebumps just thinking about it now. But when we were filming a hugging scene, his hands moved subtly on my back. I was wondering if I was being overly sensitive, but then, the next second, he unbuttoned my bra, and I was so scared I ran away. It's been over a year since this happened, and I've never dared to speak out because others have spoken out about him before, and the actress who accused him was banned shortly after. I was so scared, I kept silent. Thank you, Officer Wen, for bringing this scoundrel to justice. I can finally speak out after holding it in for over a year, and I feel so relieved.
After Jiang Lan posted on Weibo, netizens were curious: [Is it true? Is Zhang Chihao so arrogant? ]
Soon, a netizen found a news article from two years ago: [Found it, found it, I finally found it after searching for a long time, look!]
When netizens clicked on it, they found an old news item that read: [A top male star was exposed for deliberately NGing during a kissing scene and even sticking out his tongue, leaving co-star Liang Bing inconsolable.]
Liang Bing didn't name anyone in the news, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell it was Zhang Chihao. She helplessly recounted her experiences on the set, lamenting the current climate in the industry, where serious actors face few opportunities and are vulnerable to sexual harassment.
Netizens were reading the news, thinking everyone would sympathize with her, but they didn't expect the comments section to be filled with crazy abuse from fans:
[You're so fucking disgusting! Get lost and stop trying to harass our brother!]
"Liang Bing, you 18th-tier bastard, why don't you take a look in the mirror? Our brother has seen so many beauties in the entertainment industry, how could he fall for you? And you're saying he harassed you, stop flattering yourself, okay?"
[Are you crazy about fame? If you're going to make up a good excuse, at least make one that's plausible. If our brother wanted to sleep with someone, there would be so many women throwing themselves at him. Why would he bother you? The scam is so intense that it's reaching outer space. Forget it, big sister!]
After reading the fans' comments and checking Liang Bing's information, I found that she had indeed never appeared again after exposing these things. She was obviously banned by some mysterious force.
After watching it, netizens were silent. It is because of the protection of capital and these fans who act as thugs that these traffic stars dare to be so unscrupulous and arrogant!
In just one hour, more and more female celebrities stood up on Weibo to criticize Zhang Chihao. A rough count showed that there were 10 of them, and more people were even making revelations one after another.
At this moment, Wen Qianqian went online on Weibo and replied to the topic #Zhang Chihao was arrested by the police#:
[Everyone is welcome to send information about Zhang Chihao's illegal activities to the police, and even more welcome to report to the police station with your real name.]
After a Weibo post was published, passersby expressed their support: "Great! Let's work together to kill him! Let him be so arrogant again."
Soon, Jiang Lan replied to Wen Qianqian's Weibo post: "Thank you, Officer Wen. Thank you for giving me the courage to report this scumbag. I'll go to the police station right away."
Other female stars followed suit:
[I'm going too! He can't get away with it!]
[That's right! Sisters, wait for me, I'm going too!]
…
In a short while, the female celebrities who had just reported Zhang Chihao on Weibo united and agreed to go to the police station to report Zhang Chihao under their real names.
Netizens were also very excited: [This is great! I didn't expect to see such unprecedented unity in the Chinese entertainment industry in my lifetime. Ladies, go for it! Get justice for yourselves and let this creepy guy spend the rest of his life in jail!]

…
Because the marketing account's live broadcast room broadcast the entire process of a top star destroying his image, falling out of favor, and trying to touch girls in an indecent manner, even the scene of him being taken away by the police was not missed, the marketing account's live broadcast room suddenly became an Internet hit, and the number of real-time online users reached more than 20 million.
The marketing account owner was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He had never seen so much traffic in his life. Especially when he saw the number of followers increasing several times or even hundreds of times, and the rockets kept flashing, he was so happy that he wanted to go over.
While the director and Wen Qianqian were taking notes, the marketing account started organizing a second round of voting for the car crash:
"Family, friends, welcome to my live broadcast room! I believe that those of you who have been watching the live broadcast have witnessed a traffic crash, so I feel that our second season's crash is online, bah, I said it wrong, is the statement online, or it continues the excellent tradition of the first season, so the next plot, hehe, the anchor is even more looking forward to it..."
"To ensure everyone enjoys the best, complete, and engaging melon, the host has invested heavily in launching a second round of voting to predict the next episode. Attention everyone, this round of voting lasts 30 minutes. The host will randomly select one lucky viewer from the correct predictions and give them a 5,000 yuan reward! Applause everyone!"
Option 1: Steady and reliable brother Park Soon
Option 2: Charming and charming sister Yan Xinyue
Option 3: Cold and pitiful girl Zeng Fanyi
Option 4: Shao is very smart
Option 5: Police Officer Wen Qianqian
Option 6: Do not translate either
Option 7: Translate both
Abolition option: Zhang Chihao (has failed, children should not learn from him)
At that time, everyone voted in the first round with the intention of watching the fun and not minding the trouble. However, they were really voting as a joke and did not think that anyone would really fail. But after Zhang Chihao's failure, everyone's attitude changed. Netizens showed unprecedented enthusiasm for the show and were eagerly waiting for the success. The number of online voters reached 15 million.
Half an hour later, the marketing account announced the voting results: "Guys, you're so enthusiastic! I've never seen 15 million people vote... I'm so excited. Without further ado, I'll announce the results now."
"Ding ding ding ding ding, the person ranked last is still our police officer Wen Qianqian. The voting failure rate is only 0.5%, which shows that netizens still trust you very much!"
"Ranked second to last are rap king Yu Shao at 2% and rising star Zeng Fanyi at 3%. It seems netizens still trust you."
"Fourth from the bottom, or the second person netizens predicted to fail, is our Tokyo Film Award winner, Park Soon, with a 5% share. Brother Park Soon, it looks like you're in danger!"
"Next, let's reveal who netizens predict will be the most likely to fail. Ding ding ding ding ding, it's our ancient idol drama star Yan Xinyue. Holy crap, an astonishing 22% of netizens think she'll be the next potential failure. Compared to the first round of voting, her votes have skyrocketed, even more than the other guests combined!"
"Finally, I want to say that in this round of online voting, the number of netizens who chose the "both" option was even higher than in the first round, accounting for a crushing 66.5%. In comparison, the number of people who chose the "none" option was pitifully small, only 1%... Tsk tsk tsk, you guys are so mean. The host knows what you're secretly expecting just by looking at the choices, tsk tsk tsk."
"Ding ding ding ding ding, the voting is over. Let's look forward to what happens next. However, the host still doesn't understand why you think Yan Xinyue will be the first to fail? I remember her reputation in the circle seemed pretty good."
As soon as the anchor asked the question, the live broadcast room began to answer in a flurry of voices:
[Oh, because this girl isn't as easy to talk to as she looks. She's especially good at flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, and she's very good at adapting to the situation. She acts gentle and polite to people who are more famous than her, and speaks sweetly and coquettishly, but when it comes to people who are less famous than her, she immediately changes her attitude and starts to act pretentiously.]
[A fan of mine once appeared on a show with her. As soon as her styling was done, Yan Xinyue's manager told her she couldn't wear the same clothes as her—the same style, brand, or color, no matter what. She also couldn't wear shoes taller than hers. If she was taller than her on stage, she would relegate her to the far corner.]
[Really, this girl is so selfish and willful. She didn't take a good photo in the group photo just now, and she kept pestering the director to do it again. And the guests this time are all big names. If it were lesser-known guests, I think she would want to direct the director herself, making herself look good and everyone else look ugly.]
[But, having said that, while she's certainly selfish and willful, and we think she's about to flip out, we privately believe she won't get into serious trouble. At most, she'll just be caught being willful and mean, but she definitely won't flip out as completely as Zhang Chihao did. Oh my god, Zhang Chihao really left a huge scar on me today. That finger-licking scene, just a few seconds, will take me a lifetime to heal...]
In the imperial capital, the top floor of the Lu Group building, an entire floor belongs to Lu Xingyan alone. He is a well-known workaholic. Even though he owns properties all over the country, the place he spends most of his time in is his office.
No matter how luxurious an office is, it's still a place to work. Living there once or twice is fine, but staying there for the long term is quite demanding. Later, to accommodate the CEO's workaholic style, Assistant Yuan and several of Lu Xingyan's personal assistants decided to build him a residence directly on the top floor of his office. In addition to the office, it also had a living room, bedroom, dressing room, and gym. While this might not be enough for others with high standards of living, it was more than enough for Lu Xingyan.
After all, he is a person who can survive on only breadsticks and vegetables, so it would be a waste to prepare anything else for him.
At 10:30 in the morning, Lu Xingyan had just finished reviewing a pile of documents and rubbed his neck when Assistant Yuan knocked on the door and came in.
"Reporting to Mr. Lu, there is new news from Miss Wen." Assistant Yuan held a pad and reported to Lu Xingyan.
"Huh?" Lu Xingyan looked up with some confusion, thinking that it had been 5 or 6 days since he had dinner with Wen Qianqian last time. There had been no news about her in these days. Assistant Yuan came to report at this time, it must be an important matter.
Seeing Lu Xingyan nod, signaling him to continue, Assistant Yuan stepped forward and handed over a pad: "Ms. Wen went to participate in the filming of the promotional video of Fashuo Online today. As a result, during the filming, a celebrity attempted to molest Miss Wen..."
"What?" Lu Xingyan was startled and almost stood up from his seat: "How is she? Is she okay?"
Assistant Yuan was very calm: "Mr. Lu, don't get excited, I haven't finished yet."
Lu Xingyan glared at him.
Assistant Yuan laughed secretly. Actually, he said that on purpose just to tease Lu Xingyan. He felt very happy every time he saw this cold and indifferent person who would jump up from his seat excitedly when hearing the words "Miss Wen".
Of course, he didn't dare to anger Lu Xingyan, so after admiring him with evil humor, he immediately said, "That man tried to molest Miss Wen, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Miss Wen turned around and kicked him over and stepped on him."
After hearing this, Lu Xingyan's expression softened slightly, but he was still very angry. His eyes turned cold and he said, "Tell the law firm that no matter who this person is, they should sue him immediately."
Assistant Yuan shook his head. "It's too late. The police have already arrested this man. I heard he molested many girls. The people who want to sue him are lined up from here to Paris."
He looked at Lu Xingyan seriously: "Mr. Lu, if you want to sue him, you have to wait in line."
Lu Xingyan:???
Lu Xingyan touched his forehead and said after a moment, "That's not enough. The financial company behind him is responsible for his arrogance."
He glanced at Assistant Yuan and asked, "Have you found out which company this person is from?"
Assistant Yuan nodded. "They're from Yi Jin Media, and their boss is Yi Sheng." Finally, he quietly added, "They also have a partnership with our company. Boss Yi and Vice President Lu are pretty close."
Vice President Lu? Lu Xingyan frowned slightly.
As everyone knows, there are two Mr. Lus in the Lu Group. When his uncle was the chairman, people called him Little Mr. Lu. Now that he is the chairman, his uncle has become Vice Mr. Lu.
Unexpectedly, this matter would involve his uncle, and Lu Xingyan suddenly felt unhappy.
Noticing Lu Xingyan's displeasure, Assistant Yuan thought for a moment and decided to change the subject: "Mr. Lu, today is Saturday. Why don't I go out with you and go to the racetrack on the outskirts of the city?"
He reminded her, "You haven't visited the horses you keep there for almost a year."
A year ago, someone gave Lu Xingyan a Ferghana horse with excellent pedigree. He raised it at the suburban horse farm under the Lu Group, but then he was busy with work and hadn't been there for a year. Perhaps because the owner ignored it, the horse's temper became more and more violent, and it became a well-known little bully at the suburban horse farm.
Lu Xingyan: ...
He took a deep breath, not wanting to bother with Assistant Yuan, put on his coat, and walked out. Assistant Yuan saw him and hurriedly followed him: "Where are you going? Do you want me to contact the manager of the horse farm?"
Lu Xingyan: "No, let's go to the TV station to see Miss Wen."
Assistant Yuan immediately responded, "Okay, I'll get the car ready for you."
Imperial Capital Television, Fashuo Online program section.
At this point, the remaining four people who had missed the live broadcast had already vaguely heard the staff discussing this matter, and their expressions varied.
Since Wen Qianqian and the director went to the police station to record their statements and said they would be back in about an hour, the others saw that the time was almost up and went to wait near the filming room.
Yan Xinyue looked a little panicked, and kept muttering, "What's going on? Why is it so scary? Someone went in just at the beginning..."
"Oh my, this show is so unlucky. It's all your fault for accepting it!" She then glared at her agent next to her and said, "Did you guys pray for me before I came here?"
The agent's expression wasn't very good either. He glanced at Yan Xinyue and said, "Xinyue, you were the one who told me to take this show because you said it had good traffic and was worth the risk. How can you blame me now?"
After saying that, she took out a Buddhist bead bracelet and said, "I didn't go to pray, but I still asked for a string of Buddhist beads before going. If you are worried, you can bring it with you."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xinyue immediately grabbed the beads and put them on. But after a moment, she started complaining again, "What's going on? I don't think these beads are from Guanghua Temple. Where did you get this junk?"
The agent gritted his teeth, not wanting to lose his temper in front of the many celebrities around him, and patiently advised her, "Guanghua Temple is too far, so we prayed at Ninghua Temple near the company. As long as you are sincere, it's all the same. Just wear it for now."
Yan Xinyue was pinching her Buddhist beads, about to explode. Zeng Fanyi, who was standing beside her, finally couldn't help herself and said weakly, "Sister Xinyue, could you please stop talking? It makes me feel uneasy. I didn't even know about the first season of this show until Yu Shao just told me. I don't know what to do, let alone ask for this..."
Yan Xinyue was interrupted by her, looked at her coldly, and then stopped talking.
At this time, Yu Shao, who was standing next to them, finally put down his headphones with a smile and pretended to scare them, his voice deliberately made sinister: "Tell me, is this show cursed? It's the same as last season. We are all cursed and no one can escape it..."
"Oh my god!" Yan Xinyue screamed and ran to the side.
At this time, Wen Qianqian and the director also came back from outside. She saw Yan Xinyue screaming and running away at a glance.
With the exception of Zhang Chihao, who was taken away, all the crew members were present. The director then announced, "Because of Zhang Chihao, we have to re-adjust the filming. The tentative plan is to leave his position vacant. We will shoot first, and then select the replacement later, and then let him shoot separately and add him in."
"But it will take some time to adjust. I'll tell the filming crew and the post-production team to move around here and in the lounge first, and don't go too far."
After several people agreed, the director turned and left.
At this time, several guests already knew that someone was doing a live broadcast in the front hall, so they deliberately avoided the front hall and did not want to be seen.
But the places to move around later on were very limited, so several guests found their own places to rest.
Wen Qianqian turned around with the cup, trying to find a place to make a cup of coffee.
Just as she reached the corner of the back hall, she heard a man and a woman talking. She took two steps forward and saw Yan Xinyue nervously clutching her Buddhist beads and chanting, "Buddha bless me, Bodhisattva bless me, please don't let anything happen to me, please don't let anything happen to me, bless me this time, and I'll offer you tribute when I get back! Bless me, bless me!"
The man next to her looked at her and sneered, "Tsk, feudal superstition, what's the point of reciting this stuff?"
After hearing what he said, Yan Xinyue was also a little angry: "You are not feudal, Pu Shun, if you have the ability, don't ask for the Buddha's blessing!"
She glared at the man and said, "You're all at the top of the circle. I don't believe you don't have any problems!"
Park Shun said coldly: "Believe it or not, I'm not as feudal and superstitious as you."
After saying that, he lit a cigarette and left.
Wen Qianqian curled her lips behind her and thought, Yan Xinyue was right. At least among the top tax officials in the entertainment industry, few could withstand a tax audit.
She paused, turned around, didn't see the coffee machine, and changed direction.
Unexpectedly, not long after I turned around, I heard the familiar male voice in another corner. In the deserted corner, he whispered: "Merciful Father, my Savior, please bless me with peace and success, Amen!"
When Wen Qianqian heard this, she was instantly amused and almost laughed out loud.
Oh, so you looked down on Yan Xinyue just now, not because you had no guilt in your heart and were not afraid, but because you don’t believe in Buddhism but believe in Jesus?
She looked at Park Soon who was praying devoutly in front of the window, and thought silently in her heart, whether you believe in Buddha or Jesus, it is actually useless to believe in anything. Even if you call all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, what is supposed to happen will definitely happen.
She looked back at the door of the filming room, recalled the contents of the book, and thought, since everyone has already entered this door, it will not be so easy to go back.
The author has something to say:
Assistant Yuan is really a good person! He just has a bit of a bad taste sometimes, hehe.
