While Xiao He and Director Deng were discussing investment matters, Qin Lezhang was living in dire straits.
The Qin family.
Although the Qin family has declined in recent years, their property is still one of the best in the entire city of Beijing. The independent villa is grand and dignified, but the small garden outside has withered many flowers and plants, and even the money tree at the entrance, which symbolizes wealth, has lost many leaves.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, that really has nothing to do with me—"
Inside the grand and luxurious lobby of the Western-style building, Qin Lezhang knelt on the soft carpet, hugging Old Master Qin's leg and crying his eyes out, a far cry from his flamboyant demeanor he displayed abroad.
Sitting in the main seat, Qin Mubai looked down at his grandson. His old face was filled with helplessness and anger. Even his thin body, which was thin due to his age, was fluctuating with emotion, as if he were experiencing a tsunami.
In the end, he could only sigh and gesture for Qin Lezhang to sit down.
"dad--"
The beautiful woman standing to the side maintained a dignified posture, her eyes filled with disappointment and worry as she looked at her son. But seeing the old man's actions, a hint of joy appeared on her face: "Dad, this can't be entirely blamed on Le Zhang. It was those people in the entertainment industry who led him astray, and Qin Song—"
"alright."
Qin Mubai raised his hand, interrupting Qin Lezhang's mother's explanation.
"It's obvious that someone is targeting us this time."
A sharp, cold glint flashed in Qin Mubai's eyes. "Those people from Xingchen Pictures are definitely not the final mastermind."
"Wasn't it made by the Tao family?"
Qin's mother was somewhat surprised.
Now that her husband has been arrested and her son is being dragged toward danger by public opinion, she believes the Tao family is to blame for all of this!
After all, over the years, there have only been a few factions fighting each other within the group.
"Heh, you idiot."
Qin Mubai sneered, "We've all been fighting for so many years, who doesn't know who?"
It is precisely because everyone checks and balances each other that we have achieved our current state. If the Tao family had any ability, they wouldn't have had to wait until now.
They collapsed long ago, along with the people above them.
Qin Mubo simply did not believe that the Tao family would suddenly have this ability.
"It's no use crying now."
He looked down at the people on the ground with a cold expression.
“Since you have connections with those people in the industry who are ‘doing business,’ you should have thought that one day you would be implicated.”
Qin Lezhang trembled violently at Qin Mubai's words.
"But I wasn't involved in those things. At most, I just didn't report it. You can't blame me entirely for that, can you?"
Having been in the industry for so long, Qin Lezhang had gotten to know several people involved in shady dealings. These people controlled a lot of resources, with prostitution being the main source of income.
However, Qin Lezhang has always been cautious. Although his girlfriends were not exactly respectable, their relationships were still very proper. Even if the police came to investigate him, they wouldn't arrest him just because his girlfriends were not respectable.
Qin Lezhang himself felt quite wronged. He hadn't broken the law, and he had already given each of his girlfriends a formal title, so why were netizens still fixated on his relationship issues?!
Qin Mubai laughed angrily: "You didn't dare to utter a single word when those women on the internet were talking? People will think our Qin family is so poor that we can't even afford underwear!"
Qin Lezhang blushed at his grandfather's words and stammered, "Master, mainly, I'm afraid that if I anger them, they'll falsely accuse me..."
His matter was relatively minor; however, if it implicated his "friends'" illicit activities... Qin Lezhang was genuinely afraid of being beaten to death.
Anyone who dares to do this kind of business in this industry is a tough nut to crack.
Clearly, Qin Lezhang's exes were seizing this opportunity to take turns stepping on him, making arrogant revelations without actually revealing too much information.
Everyone has something to hide; it's just a matter of who strikes first.
Qin Mubai glanced coldly at his grandson, sneered, and offered a sarcastic comment:
"Greedy, stupid, and cowardly."
"Grandpa, I've actually regretted it for a long time, but I don't dare to tell anyone—"
"alright!"
Qin Mubo stopped Qin Lezhang's pointless explanation, "There's no point in saying more. We shouldn't offend those people over there. Once this matter is over, you can go abroad."
"grandfather--"
"Now, tell me in detail what has happened to you recently."
Qin Mubo closed his eyes and said in an icy tone.
"I'd like to see who's behind this!"
