Chapter 153 Fratricide: Internal Strife and the Road to Revenge
I just got home. Sorry, I just saw the trending topics about Mr. Qian Lai and me online.
First of all, I want to say that yes, there was indeed a conflict between me and Qian Lai. The specific reason was the recent incident where Zhang Chennan falsely accused my wife, Song Ying, of plagiarism. After investigation, it was found that the mastermind behind this was Qian Lai and the presidents of various entertainment companies in Beijing who were on good terms with him.
My wife, Ms. Song Ying, completed the acquisition of two major entertainment companies, Qingcheng and Shengshi, in just over a month. This has affected the division of interests among Qian Lai and others to some extent. Therefore, the Zhang Chennan incident was not a simple case of extortion and slander from the beginning, but rather a part of a business strategy.
From a competitive standpoint and in terms of handling matters properly, I should indeed retaliate against Qian Lai and the others according to procedure. However, as a husband, I cannot accept that someone is bullying my wife like this, so I had no choice but to beat Qian Lai up to teach him a lesson.
Afterwards, I had someone take Qian Lai to the hospital. Here is the doctor's diagnosis certificate as proof. Although Qian Lai's injuries were serious, his life was not in danger. As for the relevant compensation, I have already paid the maximum amount to Qian Lai's wife.
Qian Lai's death was unexpected. Everyone is curious about the truth, and I am too. I believe in the fairness of China's judicial system and hope that the police can find out the truth as soon as possible.
I saw someone ask if I regretted my impulsive actions. To that, I want to say: if I had to do it again, I would still beat him up. Not just him, but everyone who has ever bullied my wife, both in the past and in the future, I will not let them get away with it. Including those who colluded with Qian Lai.
Oh right, those people you mentioned, Jiang Yueyao, Shen Linzhou, and Xu Lanyan—yes, the evidence against them was indeed released by me. Eliminating harm for the people is the duty of every citizen.
Of course, some people think I'm a hindrance and want to get rid of me as soon as possible. If so, you're welcome to submit evidence and report me in the same way—as long as I have it, and as long as you can find it.
The entire statement video is three minutes long.
This was the longest Qin Shu had ever spoken in one breath on stage.
To everyone's surprise, Qin Shu directly admitted that he had beaten Qian Lai, and even confessed that he was responsible for the incidents involving Jiang Yueyao and the others.
It was supposed to be a statement, but it sounded like a declaration of war.
His arrogant and unrestrained tone, coupled with his roguish and untamed expression, not only didn't make people feel disgusted, but was even somewhat enjoyable.
Holy crap! He's so arrogant! I love him!
Is this the legendary domineering CEO?!
[I give this wife-protecting act a perfect score! Another day of envying Song Ying!]
So confident, so composed, so responsible! I believe he truly has nothing to do with Qian Lai's death!
Of course, not all comments are in agreement.
Many people, such as the die-hard fans of Jiang Yueyao and Shen Linzhou, seized upon this admission like cats smelling fish, accusing Qin Shu of abusing his power and using underhanded tactics.
But contrary to their expectations.
The general public almost unanimously sided with Qin Shu.
[Some idols who have fallen from grace have dirty laundry records themselves, yet their fans blame the whistleblowers? Hilarious! I wish there were Qin Shus everywhere in the Chinese entertainment industry, and everyone was a vigilant citizen, to properly clean up the entertainment circle.]
I would call Qin Shu the number one guardian of the Chinese entertainment industry! The fate of the industry rests on your shoulders!
[It is suggested that the Qin Group establish an entertainment industry oversight club to thoroughly clean up those shady and corrupt practices!]
Many celebrities are involved in shady deals behind the scenes.
In the past, even if someone got into trouble, they were often covered up, and then they would come out to make money again after the storm had passed.
A well-known paparazzi in the industry previously revealed the truth, resulting in his car being burned and his leg being broken.
Only someone of the Qin Group's status and Qin Shu's identity could truly fight against such filth without any scruples.
Therefore, these calls are not necessarily just empty words.
It largely reflects the voice of the people.
Following Qin Shu's statement, a wave of new revelations quickly climbed to the top of the trending searches.

...
A sudden barrage of revelations has been released, leaving netizens who thought the juicy gossip had reached its end in disbelief.
These revelations are absolutely explosive! They're more juicy than I've compiled in a year!
[Qin, the protector of the Chinese entertainment industry, truly lives up to his reputation! Listen to me, thank you!]
[If I said I wouldn't let it go, I won't. No fluff, just straight to the point! This must be the legendary perfect revenge answer sheet!]
Netizens were jumping around in the melon field, almost choking on the overwhelming amount of explosive and shocking gossip.
Meanwhile, things were in complete chaos on Yang Xu's side as well.
The CEOs who were implicated were simultaneously ordering their PR teams to step in overnight and cursing and urging their technical departments to quickly remove the trending topics. When they saw Yang Xu, they were even more furious!
"You surnamed Yang! It's all your fault for talking about teaching Qin Shu a lesson! Now look what's happened, we didn't manage to teach him a lesson, and now he's exposed all our secrets!"
"If it weren't for your terrible idea that angered Qin Shu, we wouldn't be in this mess! You're the one stirring up trouble!"
"That's right. Qin Shu only beat up Qian Lai, and even paid compensation and took him to the hospital afterward. It's clear he never intended to kill him off! We were just following Qian Lai, not the masterminds. Even if Qin Shu wanted to blame someone, he couldn't blame us. At most, he would just beat us up. But now, it's all your fault that we're in this mess!"
"I should never have trusted you, you despicable person! You wanted to die, but you wanted to drag so many of us down with you! I must have been blind and insane to believe you meant well!"
Some people were so angry that they punched him directly.
The sudden attack caused Yang Xu's vision to go black for a moment. He quickly covered his nose, but unexpectedly, blood flowed directly from between his fingers.
Once this precedent was set, the rest of the people vented their resentment on Yang Xu.
A large group of people rushed up and started punching and kicking Yang Xu.
It was also accompanied by offensive and abusive insults and curses.
He used this opportunity to vent all the pent-up anger in his chest.
Yang Xu clutched his head, curled up in a ball, and groaned in pain.
Hearing the commotion inside, the bodyguards guarding outside rushed in and, seeing the chaotic scene, immediately stepped forward to break up the fight.
When Yang Xu was rescued, he had been punched in the face several times, kicked many times, and even had a tuft of hair pulled out.
It turns out that when men get into fights, they're no different from the shrewish women fighting at the village entrance.
The bodyguard saw that Yang Xu's face was covered in blood.
"Mr. Yang, your injury!"
"fine."
Yang Xu raised his hand to wipe away the blood from his nose, grabbed a few tissues from the table, haphazardly twisted them into strips, and stuffed them into his nose to stop the bleeding.
He raised his chin, looked at the others in the room with a sinister expression, and pointed a finger.
"Beat them!"
"Yang Xu, what do you want to do!"
"Yang Xu, how dare you!"
Everyone panicked.
Their bodyguards were all outside; only Yang Xu's bodyguards, a group of pot-bellied middle-aged men, were guarding the door. They had no chance of winning against the strong, trained fighter.
Someone, with trembling hands, pulled out their phone to call for help, only to have it kicked into a corner by Yang Xu's bodyguards.
Immediately afterwards, all the bodyguards attacked at once, causing the crowd to scream in agony.
What do I want to do?
Yang Xu sneered with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes, "I fucking want to kill all of you! You wanted to teach me a lesson? Come on!"
The scene became chaotic at one point.
Before long, everyone was knocked down, lying on the ground curled up like shrimp and groaning.
Yang Xu casually picked up a bottle of red wine from the table and staggered toward the person closest to him, his leather boots, covered in footprints, stomping heavily on the person's round belly.
"Mr. Zhou, weren't you so imposing just now? Why are you acting like a grandson now?"
"Yang Xu, don't be so arrogant..."
President Zhou's face was covered in wounds, and he glared at Yang Xu with hatred, as if he wanted to devour him alive.
However, before he could finish speaking, Yang Xu swung the bottle at his head.
After a muffled thud, came the sharp sound of glass shattering!
The burgundy wine was smashed directly onto President Zhou's head and face, splashing onto the gray carpet and leaving dark stains.
Everyone was startled by the sudden sound.
Little did I know that this was not the end of it.
Yang Xu actually gripped the bottle neck and stabbed the broken end directly at President Zhou's fat, greasy face.
The initial impact had already made Mr. Zhou's head buzz, and now the stinging pain on his face caused him to burst into a hysterical scream in a moment of clarity.
Some people simply couldn't bear to look and couldn't help but turn their faces away.
Heart-wrenching screams echoed from the private room.
By the time Yang Xu was exhausted from stabbing, President Zhou's face was already blurred, and he lay motionless on the ground, it was unknown whether he was still alive.
Do you know why you've fallen to this state?
Yang Xu threw the wine bottle in his hand aside.
He pointed to each of the people who were still curled up on the ground.
Because you're all stupid!
"You've fallen to this state because you're incompetent and trust others too easily. Who can you blame?"
"You're very angry, aren't you?"
"You're very unwilling, aren't you?"
"Go ahead and sue me!"
"Sue me, then let the police arrest me, and then we'll all go to jail together—anyway, with Qian Lai dead, none of us can escape."
The bloodstains on the face had dried and turned dark red.
This only made Yang Xu seem like a madman who had lost his mind.
Everyone was filled with regret afterward.
Compared to Qin Shu, Yang Xu, that ingrate, is the real lunatic!
They were actually fooled by this kid's clumsy acting and signed that kind of document...
But there's no medicine for regret in this world.
Even after Yang Xu and his men left, the group was still in shock.
-
A series of bombshell revelations exposed the shocking scandals within the Chinese entertainment industry.
In decades, there has never been such a chilling upheaval.
Overnight, a major earthquake struck the Chinese entertainment industry, and everyone felt insecure.
Those involved dared not even issue a clarification statement, for fear of being proven wrong by a reversal.
Even celebrities who weren't involved but felt guilty were terrified.
Even the minor celebrities who tried to flirt with Qin Shu at the fashion gala were apprehensive, worried that their inappropriate behavior might anger Qin Shu and lead to the exposure of some shameful secrets.
Some were timid, and some even confessed directly, a first in the industry.
Amidst the turmoil, a video, fueled by various marketing accounts, gradually climbed to the top of the trending searches.
The protagonist in the video is a teenager with blond hair. He looks terrified and grief-stricken as he tearfully accuses Qin Shu of killing his father, Qian Lai.
"They've finally shown up."
Qin Shu narrowed his eyes and dialed Peng Wen's number. "Locate the video source and find out where this video was first posted."
A few minutes later, Peng Wen replied.
“The abandoned factory building at No. 18 Qingmiao Road.”
"knew."
After saying this, Qin Shu got up and walked outside.
It's time to close the net.
“I’ll go with you.” Song Ying stood up and followed her outside.
"It will be dangerous, Aying, you should stay at home," Qin Shu advised.
Song Ying had her own reasons: "We haven't been able to find our son for several days, and now that Qian Jin has shown up, Madam Qian is probably very agitated. You are all men, so it won't be convenient for you to calm her down. It's just right for me to go. Don't worry, I promise you I will not get close and will not put myself in danger."
Qian Jin was the only son of Qian Lai and his wife, and also Qian Lai's only son.
After the Qian family separated, Qian Lai and his wife had little contact, but they still cherished Qian Jin. Mrs. Qian especially regarded her son as her lifeblood.
"In that case, let's go together."
-
Immediately after Qian Jin disappeared, Madam Qian went to the Qin Group.
At that time, she thought the person who did it was Qin Shu.
“Mr. Qin, Qian Lai framed you and your wife; he wronged you. But my son is innocent. He knew nothing about this, let alone participated in it. You have already taught Qian Lai a lesson; why must you also try to destroy us, a widow and her orphan?”
In the office, Mrs. Qian was in tears, and even knelt down to beg Qin Shu.
"Mr. Qin, I beg you, please have mercy and spare my son! He's my only son, Ah Jin. How can I live without him!"
"It wasn't me."
Qin Shu avoided Madam Qian's kneeling, saying, "The grievances have their source and the debtors their debtors. The matter between Qian Lai and me does not concern my wife and children. I have no interest in you and your son."
Madam Qian did not believe it and crawled two steps on her knees.
“Mr. Qin, you can just say what you want. What about the things in Qianlai Company? As long as you let my son go, we can give up all those assets. Just leave us enough money to live on, and everything else—the house, the car, the company—I can give you everything!”
"Do I look like someone who lacks these things?" Qin Shu didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. "I said no, and that's it. If Madam Qian has nothing else to say, Peng Wen, see the guest out."
"Mrs. Qian, please."
Peng Wen's tall figure appeared before her, but Madam Qian suddenly stood up, walked around him, and turned on her phone.
The speaker transmitted the various speculations that Yang Xu and the others had made about Qin Shu in the hospital ward.
“Mr. Qin, I’m not the only one who knows now that you caused my husband’s serious illness. Now that Qian Lai is dead, if you’re not the murderer, who is? Today you harmed my son, and tomorrow this recording will be known all over the internet. Murder, kidnapping, Mr. Qin, no matter how powerful and influential your Qin family is, you cannot disregard the law!”
Qin Shu listened patiently, then suddenly chuckled softly.
