Chapter 64 You Have Good Intentions
The agent understood almost immediately. He stood up with a smile and pushed Su Shiyi towards Yi He. Su Shiyi staggered and almost fell into Yi He's arms.
"Xiao Su, have a good chat with Mr. Yi. I'll wait for you outside. Please be nicer."
After the agent finished speaking, she walked straight out, and Cao Muan followed closely behind her. As soon as the agent left, she locked the door.
The agent cursed under his breath as he heard the lock being locked.
"What a bunch of this and that, they're all filthy bastards who drool at the sight of women."
After locking the door, Cao Muan returned to the box. Just as she was about to speak, Su Shiyi, who had been silent, spoke first.
"Who are you? You're not really here to talk to me about endorsements, are you? What's the matter with you going through all this trouble to find me?"
Su Shiyi looked at Yi He. As soon as the agent left, he immediately helped her up and quickly looked away. His face was a little red and he looked very awkward, completely losing the vulgarity he had just had.
Su Shiyi has been in this circle for several years and is very good at judging people. She can tell at a glance who has dirty thoughts towards her.
"How do you know I'm not here to discuss endorsements with you? Can't I really like you? After all, you're pretty."
Yi He looked at the person in front of him with some curiosity. Su Shiyi was born beautiful, with the appearance of the beautiful rich girl in old dramas, with fair skin and a pair of deer-like eyes. However, her temperament was a little melancholy, and she looked a little listless, but she also had a pitiful look. Many men liked her type.
At this moment, Su Shiyi looked at Yi He with bright eyes, as if the dull woman just now was not her.
"You are different from those other men. There is no desire in your eyes, and I can feel your kindness. When you first walked in, you looked at me with pity."
Su Shiyi gave a bitter smile. Pity, this word didn't seem to make her happy when used on herself.
"Is my acting not good enough? I think it's already obscene enough."
"Your posture is vulgar, but your eyes are pure. So what do you want from me?"
Su Shiyi shook her head. Yi He was still too young and had no idea what those people looked like. At least they wouldn't be like that now, as they were talking so far apart.
"The endorsement thing is actually true, but whether you can sign the contract depends on whether you can cooperate with us." Cao Muan walked over and reached out to take Su Shiyi's arm. She took a hot towel and wiped Su Shiyi's arm, revealing the bruises hidden by foundation. "Were these injuries caused by the people from Qingcheng Film and Television?"
Looking closer, the scars on Su Shiyi's body were even more horrifying, with blue and purple patches all over.
"There were many people who beat me, some from the company and some from the clients. They were all perverts. They only got hard when they heard women screaming. Every time I tried not to scream, they would beat me harder. Sometimes they used belts, sometimes wet towels. In short, they all had their own preferences."
Su Shiyi spoke lightly, as if those were trivial matters, but they sounded like thunder in the ears of Yi He and Cao Mu'an. They couldn't imagine what Su Shiyi had experienced that would allow her to expose her scars so casually.
"They treated you like this, didn't you ever think of resisting? You could definitely sue them."
Cao Muan was a little confused as to why Su Shiyi was still staying in Qingcheng Film and Television.
"Resistance only gets you beaten worse. I was very happy in the first two years after joining the company. The company gave me a lot of resources. I quickly rose from a newcomer to a second- or third-tier star. I started playing the female lead, and step by step, I set out towards my dream. One year, the company gave me a big drama and also gave me a gambling contract. They said that if I could complete the gambling contract, I would not only get a large sum of money but also successfully become a top star. The company would give me the best resources. I was young and hot-headed at the time, and I was blinded by fame and fortune. I didn't even think about the disaster that gambling contract would bring me."
Su Shiyi laughed at herself, it was impossible to escape from the trap set by someone with ulterior motives.
"I lost a bet and owed the company a huge sum of money. My life went from heaven to hell. I thought about running away and calling the police, but I couldn't escape. The company had a contract I signed personally and a huge penalty for breach of contract. I could only work day after day to pay off the debt, but it was impossible to pay it off. I felt like I was trapped in hell."
"What if I give you some money and ask you to pay it back to the company? Wouldn't that still mean you can't leave?"
Yi He spoke too quickly and Cao Muan couldn't stop him. He had no idea how much money the other party owed. What if he couldn't do what he said casually? Besides, they were here to investigate, not to do charity. Why did the young master suddenly become so kind?
"It's useless. It's not that no one has paid back the money. The company has a backup plan waiting for us. If you pay back one, more contracts you signed will pop up. They are all contracts for various large-scale movies. You either shoot them or continue to pay compensation. Moreover, they have a lot of large-scale photos of us. If you really leave, they will completely destroy us."
"We've been investigating the Qingcheng Film and Television incident. We came to you because we saw the injuries on your body and want you to help testify. We dare not expose it rashly, for fear that you will be hurt by our revelations. I wonder if you can cooperate with us?"
Cao Muan looked at Su Shiyi with some heartache. She stepped forward and gently hugged her. She didn't know what had happened to her over the years. Judging from the scars alone, they were definitely a nightmare.
"Hahahaha, don't be naive. Do you think no one knows about Qingcheng Film and Television? Everyone is just turning a blind eye. Take my advice, let's stop here. You can't win, so don't bother yourself for me. My life is already like this anyway."
Su Shiyi pushed Cao Muan away, looked at the two of them and shook her head. It's not that no one has wanted to be a hero in recent years, but it's a pity that the name of the hero disappeared silently before it could become famous. These two people looked like good people and there was no need to get involved in these things.
"Call him in when the time is almost up, otherwise he'll get suspicious."
Su Shiyi returned to her seat, ruffled her hair a little, and finally wiped off her lipstick. It looked as if something erotic had really happened in this room.
"It's only ten minutes. Opening the door now will affect Master Yi's reputation. Let's talk later."
Cao Muan raised her hand to check the time, and she sat down next to Su Shiyi. She didn't mention her willingness to cooperate, and Cao Muan didn't say anything either, but just chatted with her casually.
Yi He sat aside with a grim look on his face. He felt like a tool tonight.
When they had almost finished talking, Cao Muan stood up, reached out and ripped open Yi He's clothes, tearing off several buttons of his white shirt, then reached out and pinched his neck a few times, leaving some deep and shallow red marks on his skin.
"What are you doing! My shirt is expensive!"
Yi He was shocked. He had already felt frustrated enough tonight, and now he had to sacrifice a shirt.
"Just do the whole act, and then you can ask your boss to reimburse you. You look so neat and tidy, you don't look like you've done anything."
After Cao Muan finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Su Shiyi.
“If you need help, feel free to contact us.”
After a busy night, it was not completely fruitless. Cao Muan sat in the car and played the secretly recorded recording to Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye frowned as he listened to it, as he was very familiar with this plot.
In the original novel, Lin Xiaoya was set up in such a trap. She fell deeper and deeper into it and finally chose to end her life.
"It seems that Su Shiyi still has a lot of concerns. We should contact her more often and let her have more confidence in us."
After listening to the recording, Xu Qingye turned his head and looked out the car window. The city was extremely beautiful at night. The brilliant lights made the entire city a city that never sleeps, but no one knew how many abysses were hidden in the darkness.
"I'll go home and try to get her the endorsement this time. Hey, those at work are always paying for it."
Yi He remained silent as soon as he got in the car. He heard Su Shiyi say it in person and listened to the recording again. He felt a little upset. Su Shiyi's words were vague, but he didn't dare to think about it in detail. How could someone be so bad?
"Just be a little upset, don't let it affect your mood. What we need to do is to dig out this cancer, cheer up and continue working. Keep in touch with Su Shiyi."
Xu Qingye looked at Yi He and patted his shoulder vigorously. People in their line of work sometimes cannot be too emotional.
"Who is feeling bad? I just feel a little emotional."
Yi He was stubborn. He straightened his clothes, started the car and left quickly. The three of them were silent along the way. If they were paparazzi without conscience, tonight's recording would make them a hot topic, but then Su Shiyi would be pushed to the forefront. They had no plan to deal with it and could only leave Su Shiyi in the vortex of the storm.
Sometimes the world is so unfair. You are obviously the victim, but you are always blamed the most. Being exposed will undoubtedly cause deeper harm.
"Brother Ye, if we are so conscientious, will the company really not go bankrupt?"
There was music playing in the car. It was a song with a strong sense of rhythm and the volume was a bit loud. Cao Muan's words were drowned out by the music and could not be heard clearly.
Xu Qingye heard it, and he heard it very clearly.
"Do you still remember why you did this? All we have to do is expose the truth and eat melons. Making money is just a byproduct. If you can't make money this time, you can try again next time. Otherwise, just get a job."
"If you want to go, go ahead. You work to support us, but you have to pay me on time, not even an hour late."
Cao Muan glared at Xu Qingye, it was a surprise that he could come up with such an idea.
"Well, I've taken quite a few jobs taking photos for the New Year's Eve party, enough to pay you."
Xu Qingye nodded. In fact, there was another way to make money, which was to sell the recordings to Qingcheng Film and Television and ask for a large sum of hush money. But if he did that, it would be equivalent to harming Su Shiyi. He had no idea how Qingcheng Film and Television would treat her after receiving those recordings.
So until they are fully prepared, all they can do is sit back and do nothing.
It was already late when Xu Qingye returned home. He lay on the sofa to rest. His phone lit up and he received a new text message.
Chen Que: Are you asleep? Can I talk on the phone?
