Chapter 54 (Exclusively published by Jinjiang)

Yan Qiaolan received the news from her assistant and rushed to the crew overnight.

Xie Tingsi met his agent as soon as he came out of the police station after taking his statement.

"Get in the car first." Yan Qiaolan observed him carefully and saw that he was not injured. Her tense nerves relaxed a little.

"Are you okay?" she asked. "Would you like to make an appointment at the hospital for a full body checkup?"

Xie Tingsi took a sip of water and turned to look at her: "I thought you would ask me about the trending searches first."

Yan Qiaolan said seriously: "You are my artist, of course I care more about your health."

Xie Tingsi stared at him and suddenly smiled: "Thank you."

At least he has reliable people around him, not all of them are like Cheng Hui.

"I just had a physical examination some time ago. I am in very good health. Don't worry."

Yan Qiaolan was relieved: "What happened to Cheng Hui?"

She was totally unaware of the matter.

The staff in the Xie Ting Si team are all trustworthy. After all, their profession is special. Before joining the company, the staff will undergo background checks. After joining the company, they will also be observed for a period of time. Only after they are confirmed to be trustworthy will they take over important work.

This is the case for ordinary staff, not to mention assistants.

Even if there is a problem with anyone in the team, it cannot be Cheng Hui.

But...it was Cheng Hui.

Yan Qiaolan felt unbelievable. She quickly recalled everything about Cheng Hui, but could not find any clue that he would commit murder.

"Cheng Hui owed 10 million from gambling and was bribed by someone."

Xie Tingsi paused and glanced at Yan Qiaolan.

The person behind the scenes is related to Yan Qiaolan.

This is also the reason why he did not tell his agent in advance.

Yan Qiaolan sensed something unusual: "Who is it?"

Xie Tingsi blurted out a name, Lu Bai.

Lu Bai, a well-known name in the entertainment industry, went from being an unknown extra to winning four-time Golden Globes Award winner in just five years. He is a talented actor praised by everyone.

He is also the second actor brought out by Yan Qiaolan.

Logically speaking, Qianlima and Bole should have gone further together, but perhaps after reaching the peak, their goals were no longer the same.

Suddenly one day, Yan Qiaolan resigned from the company and took a break for a while. After a long break, she became the exclusive agent of Xie Tingsi.

No one knows what happened between Lu Bai and Yan Qiaolan, and their public responses were all ambiguous official language.

Yan Qiaolan looked confused: "Are you talking about Lu Bai? The Lu Bai I know???"

She confirmed.

Xie Tingsi confirmed: "You are the one who knows Lu Bai.

Xie Tingsi observed Yan Qiaolan's reaction.

Yan Qiaolan tried to calm down: "You did a good job."

Xie Tingsi: "Sister Lan, what is your relationship with Lu Bai?"

"I don't mean to offend your private life. This matter is very serious and I have to be careful."

Xie Tingsi became serious, and his peach blossom eyes became sharp. If Shen Baili saw his appearance at this moment, she would definitely feel that his current demeanor was very similar to Xie Zhiyu's state at work.

Yan Qiaolan also understood the seriousness of the problem. She clenched her fists tightly, as if she had made an important decision, or as if she had mustered up great courage.

"Lu Bai and I were once a couple, but we broke up peacefully and are now just friends who keep in touch occasionally."

Yan Qiaolan found it hard to digest the fact that Lu Bai had become a criminal suspect and had harmed her own artist.

Her thoughts were in a mess, but she knew this was her last chance to have a heart-to-heart talk with Xie Tingsi.

"I am your agent. I will not do anything that goes against humanity and professional ethics."

Yan Qiaolan was nervous. She said solemnly, "I don't know anything about this."

"We are a community of interests. I will not hurt you."

"If you want to terminate the contract with me, I will agree." Yan Qiaolan lowered her eyes: "I'm sorry, I failed in my duty."

Not managing the team well is one of them.

The second reason is the close relationship he once had with Lu Bai.

Yan Qiaolan realized that she could no longer continue to be the agent of Xie Tingsi.

Xie Ting Si listened to her and said thoughtfully, "Can you handle this?"

Yan Qiaolan was stunned: "Ah?"

She quickly realized that Xie Tingsi had no intention of firing her.

"You are an excellent agent and I believe in your ability and quality."

"Or... do you want to apply for recusation?" Xie Tingsi spoke again.

He would not miss out on an excellent agent because of such emotional problems.

Yan Qiaolan said calmly: "Don't avoid it, let me handle it."

They explained Lu Bai's situation clearly, but there were still doubts about Cheng Hui's gambling.

"Hasn't Cheng Hui been in the crew all along? How did he get involved in gambling?"

And such a large amount of money is involved.

Xie Tingsi: "Network □□."

"He gambled on football and horse racing online and was set up by someone and lost a lot of money."

"Was Lu Bai also the one who set up the trap?" Yan Qiaolan subconsciously connected the two together.

Xie Tingsi: "No, it was him."

He specifically checked and found out that Cheng Hui had gradually become addicted to online gambling on the recommendation of a friend. He won several months' wages at the beginning, but he didn't think he could earn more, so his gambling addiction was fostered little by little and it became uncontrollable. By the time he realized what was happening, he had already lost several million.

Cheng Hui didn't dare tell anyone in the team, nor did he dare to borrow money from Xie Tingsi and his colleagues. He could only take out online loans, borrow money from one pocket to pay for another, while continuing to gamble in the hope of making a profit one day, and the snowball kept getting bigger and bigger.

Yan Qiaolan: "Didn't Wu He and Fan Bo find out?"

"He hid it very well." Xie Tingsi showed a mocking smile: "I didn't even notice it."

All of Cheng Hui's cleverness was used for this.

His loophole gave Lu Bai an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Why is Lu Bai targeting me?"

Xie Tingsi didn't understand why Lu Bai did this. They guessed many people, but none of them thought of him.

There is no benefit in harming Lu Bai except sending him to jail.

Lu Bai has both fame and fortune. He is a shining movie star and is in the prime of his life.

Xie Tingsi admitted that he was very talented, but he posed no threat to Lu Bai's status or interests. He did not have any deep hatred for himself and was determined to kill him.

Yan Qiaolan also didn't understand.

It's impossible to turn love into hate, right?

This crazy thought suddenly occurred to Yan Qiaolan, who suddenly woke up and got goosebumps all over her body.

She must have suffered too much shock today and her brain is about to crash.

"Let's wait for the results of the police investigation." Xie Tingsi couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

"I do not accept settlement. This is the bottom line." Xie Tingsi emphasized.

Yan Qiaolan nodded: "I understand."

The nanny car parked safely in the hotel parking lot.

Wu He got down from the co-pilot seat and reported to the two people: "Lu Bai has become a trending topic."

…

On Sunday night, hot searches came one after another.

Netizens are still engaging in a heated discussion on the topic #When the popular Xie Tingsi showed up at the police station late at night#, the two speculations of being a brave man doing something righteous and being caught for committing a crime were the most debated, and no conclusion has been reached yet.

The title #五金电影帝Lu Bai appears at the police station late at night# once again topped the trending searches.

Same title, different names. If you don’t know, you might think the entertainment industry is holding a team-building event at the police station.

"????"

"What the hell? Today is not April Fools' Day?"

"Lu Bai? Is that the movie star Lu Bai I know?"

"Is there a class representative who can give a summary of what happened?"

"It's two in the morning. How can the child sleep? He has to go to work tomorrow."

"Lu Bai and Xie Tingsi were taken to the police station together?"

"My brother Bai is a good citizen who abides by the law. Did he catch the sasaeng fan? He was followed by a sasaeng fan last week."

"It's so tragic that my brother Bai has to be implicated by his fellow criminals."

"??? Don't be so obvious when you praise one and criticize the other! We just listened and didn't offend anyone."

"Maybe it's a joint promotion by the two of them. (Lightly)"

"Lu Bai and an 18th-tier celebrity are hyping this up?? It's like they're trying to scam me by landing on the moon."

"Haha, I heard that my brother is a top star, but your brother Bai is out of fashion :)"

…

Before anyone knew it, it turned into a big brawl between the two fans, with passers-by fanning the flames and enjoying the fun from time to time.

One is a movie emperor, the other is a popular star. Both of them have huge fan bases, and they crashed multiple software at once.

Programmers who are still working overtime late at night: …

Wu He extracted key information from many data and comments: "There is a rhythm of the navy, trying to divert attention."

"I know a few of these marketing accounts, and they have very close ties with Lu Bai."

Yan Qiaolan and Xie Tingsi frowned at the same time. Lu Bai's actions were very strange, as if he was deliberately covering up.

"At 7am, we will make a unified statement."

"Contact the fan manager and calm the fans down."

"Continue to monitor the developments of online public opinion..."

Yan Qiaolan quickly got into work mode, and Wu He accepted all the instructions: "Okay, I got it."

It's five forty-five in the morning, just over an hour until seven o'clock.

Yan Qiaolan: "Do you want to take a break? I'll ask for leave from the crew for you."

Xie Tingsi's eyelids were twitching: "No need, I'll just sleep for an hour."

He didn't want to delay the crew's progress, and he was mentally prepared for what happened today.

Although Xie Tingsi is a little sad, he will adjust his emotions and not bring it to work.

"I'll set the alarm clock. You guys can take a nap."

They all have a tough battle to fight.

…

Xie Zhiyu fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed, and Shen Baili's biological clock rang on time.

She grabbed a white petal in mid-air, and then... she woke up.

I heard Ah Deng's excited mechanical sounds.

"Shusui! Shusui!"

"Our energy bar has reached 40%!!!"

"!!!"

Shen Baili's sleepiness instantly disappeared, and she jumped up from the bed: "40%!!!"

She squeezed her arms tightly: "I'm not dreaming."

The little orange kitten used its little paws to push away her hands that were twisting her arms.

"Sui Sui, it will hurt."

"It's real, I'm not dreaming, our energy bar has reached 40%!"

Shen Baili hugged the kitten and hugged it hard.

"marvelous!"

Ah Deng didn't understand what Sunshun was doing, but he was also very happy: "That's great!!"

"Plus, I unlocked a new feature!"

Shen Baili was attracted by its words. The energy bar was almost halfway through. Would they finally have the golden finger?
