"What... what's going on?"
With a pale face, Sheng Jing nervously clicked on the video that had over a million downloads and tens of millions of views...
The video is divided into three parts.
Each segment is only a few tens of seconds long.
The first video was taken at 11:25 PM the night before last.
A young man helped a limp, unsteady woman into a hotel room by swiping her room key, then helped her inside. A few minutes later, he left.
The second video was taken at 1:07 AM yesterday.
The young man sneaked to the door of the same hotel room, swiped his room card to open the door, and slipped inside...
The third video was taken at 7:12 AM yesterday.
A disheveled woman, naked except for a large towel wrapped around her body, staggered out of a hotel room, seemingly crying as she ran...
The fourth video is from 7:48 AM yesterday.
Police took the young man away from the hotel lobby...
Sheng Jing recognized the young man as one of his staff members.
"How could such a video be leaked?" Sheng Jing was furious. "Ordinary people can't get their hands on these videos, and hotels wouldn't dare to leak guests' privacy so easily."
Butler Liu said, "I am not aware of the details of this matter."
"It was your agent who contacted the young master's secretary that made him aware of this matter."
"The young master has already sent people to deal with the messages and videos online, but it will take some time to completely remove them."
"The eldest young master called you and the fourth young master, but neither of you answered. That's why the eldest young master sent me upstairs to inform you personally..."
Sheng Jing quickly found her phone and discovered dozens of missed calls, most of which were from her agent and personal assistant.
He called his agent back.
The agent's voice was hoarse and filled with deep exhaustion: "Xiao Jing, you finally answered the phone..."
Sheng Jing immediately retorted, "You've been following this whole time, how could you let the video and news get leaked?"
"I spend so much on marketing every year, I'm a VIP annual subscriber to trending topics, and I have so many connections, how come I haven't been able to block these kinds of videos and messages?"
The agent sighed, "These news broke around 3 a.m., and they spread across the entire internet. It's obvious that someone is manipulating things behind the scenes."
"We were all fast asleep at the time, and by the time we received the message, we had already missed the best time to delete the post."
“I used all my connections to find out about this.”
"The inside information I received is that this smear material was allegedly leaked to the media by the lawyer of the person who reported it to the police, and there's also the story of what happened to your rivals..."
"I don't have the ability to contact the higher-ups of those platforms at three or four in the morning and have them delete and block the messages immediately. I can only contact you."
"But you haven't been able to get in touch with them for a long time."
"I managed to find your older brother's secretary's phone number, and that's how I got in touch with him..."
Shengjing certainly has a powerful background and extensive connections.
But China, the Celestial Empire, has over a billion people and a vast territory, with many wealthy and powerful individuals.
The Sheng family alone cannot control the entire media industry and entertainment circle.
As an agent, she certainly didn't have the ability to control such a huge public opinion.
Sheng Jing almost fainted upon hearing this: "..."
It's all that damned Sheng Ai's fault!
They tricked him again and again!
He was buried almost thirty meters underground in that pit...
He cursed Sheng Ai furiously and asked his agent, "Have you contacted the person who called the police and their lawyer to try and deal with them?"
The agent said, "I contacted them, but as soon as they heard it was me, they hung up immediately and blocked me."
"In my opinion, they are determined to drag you down with them, so you'll have to ask your family for help."
"I understand." Sheng Jing was in a state of utter confusion. "I'll go find my fourth brother now and see what he thinks."
Actually, resolving this kind of thing isn't a big problem for him.
What he feared was that Sheng Ai would cause trouble again, making things chaotic and disastrous for him...
After making the call, he went to find Sheng Jiagui.
Sheng Jiagui was sleeping soundly when Sheng Jing woke him up. He cursed inwardly, "[Useless person, always causing trouble.]"
Then he got out of bed, naked, and went into the bathroom: "After breakfast, we'll go see the suspect together, and then go find the person who reported the crime."
"I will also help you draft a lawyer's statement, stating that you were completely unaware of the staff member's alleged sexual assault of the female fan, that you are concerned, heartbroken, and angry about the female fan's ordeal, and that you will fully cooperate with the police investigation."
"You also stated that if your staff members do commit illegal or criminal acts, you will never cover them up or tolerate them."
“If anyone continues to publicly attack you online, I will send them a lawyer’s letter.”
"We'll decide what to do next based on the situation."
"Thank you, Fourth Brother." Sheng Jing patted Sheng Jiagui on the shoulder, a rare occurrence for him, and smiled. "I knew it. I could have gone to the right place with you when it came to the lawsuit."
The three brothers didn't finish their night run until 2:30 a.m.
Therefore, Sheng Ai showed leniency today and did not require the three brothers to get up at six o'clock in the morning to run.
Sheng Jing and Sheng Jiagui enjoyed a rare, relaxing breakfast before heading out together.
However, the two had just reached the entrance hall.
Behind him, Sheng Ai's soft voice rang out: "Second Brother, I don't have a cell phone. I'd like to ask you to come with me to buy one."
Sheng Jing felt like his scalp was about to explode, and stammered, "W-why do I have to go with you?"
"Can't your third and fourth brothers go with you?"
Sheng Jiagui looked at him coldly.
Sheng Jing is that kind of person. On the surface, he is kind and amiable and speaks very nicely, but in reality, he is petty, treacherous, and always trying to find ways to cheat people.
