Chapter 14 The Stolen Investment Funds



The air was filled with excited shouts. As they walked toward the garage, their lips trembled, and they desperately wanted Xia Chuyue to shut up.

Oh, no, Xia Chuyue didn't open her mouth at all from beginning to end!

They heard what she truly felt :)

After enduring a long and arduous journey, amidst the piercingly loud noises of early summer, the celebrities finally arrived at the underground parking garage.

As soon as you enter the garage, the sunlight outside disappears, and a cool breeze seeps into your skin.

Xia Chuyue rubbed her arms, wanting to open the gossip system to see where the two having an affair were.

As soon as I went in, I heard a girl's soft, panting voice.

The blushing voice startled everyone, and some of the more shy people even blushed.

Everyone remained silent, only glancing at the director out of the corner of their eyes.

Director Xia Chuan seemed to have been provoked too much; at this moment, he was expressionless and his face was very cold.

Holding the bag his wife had just left behind, he strode over to the location where the sound came from and stopped in front of a gray Mercedes-Benz.

The car was bouncing violently, and the intensity of the impact was enough to give one a sense of how fierce the battle inside was.

The car window was half open, and inside, besides Bai Jin's panting and moaning, there were also the producer's lewd remarks.

"Do you think Director Xia knows you're such a dissolute person? Am I better than him?"

Bai Jin didn't like mentioning her husband at times like this, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Why bring him up? He's unlikely to find out..."

Just as he finished speaking, Director Xia's voice came from outside the window.

"I couldn't possibly discover anything?"

The production supervisor suddenly turned around and saw Xia Chuan standing outside the window, and was so frightened that he immediately collapsed.

With a scream, he fell off his seat, covering his face in a disheveled state.

Bai Jin turned around in disbelief, her heart pounding and her lips trembling involuntarily.

"No, Lao Xia, let me explain, it's not what you see!"

Bai Jin reacted quickly; she seemed to have anticipated the possibility of her affair being discovered, and tears welled up in her eyes on the spot.

“That’s not how it is. He threatened me. He said that if I didn’t give in to him, he would expose my past misdeeds.”

"Old Xia, you know that my past is not honorable. I don't want this to become a stain on your reputation when netizens attack you. I hope that you will always be the most perfect director in the hearts of netizens."

Bai Jin cried softly and gracefully. With this kind of explanation, she not only cleared herself of any wrongdoing, but also made it seem as if she was only with this villainous producer because she was thinking of her husband.

Xia Chuyue, who was watching the show from outside the crowd, couldn't help but hiss softly.

[Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! If the director were blinded by love, he probably would have forgiven her!]

The onlookers, who had come to watch the drama unfold, also whispered among themselves.

"Wow, that's amazing, they got caught red-handed."

"He has such a good attitude. If Director Xia hadn't suppressed this, the trending topics would have exploded tomorrow."

"Amazing! I need to learn this way of crying. My makeup doesn't even smudge when I cry."

Hearing the commotion, Bai Jin looked up with tearful eyes in disbelief.

When she saw the group of stars following behind the director, her vision went black and she almost fainted.

It's one thing to be caught cheating, but there were so many people at the scene!

Now, even if she wanted to hide it, she couldn't.

However, she didn't have a chance to faint; Director Natsukawa simply threw her bag through the window.

"Let's get a divorce, the two children will stay with me."

This resolute and indifferent tone made Bai Jin feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

She looked at the man, who was emanating black smoke and turned away without looking back, and she was completely panicked.

He discovered it!

And he didn't believe what he was saying!

Bai Jin's body went limp, and she collapsed weakly onto the car seat.

The producer had already put on his pants by then, and disregarding the many celebrities present, he quickly caught up with Director Xia.

"Old Xia, Old Xia, it wasn't what I thought, it was that woman who seduced me!"

The producer was the director's college classmate and roommate; they've always had a good relationship.

After graduation, Director Xia made a name for himself and helped his college classmate by hiring him as a producer on his film set.

Unexpectedly, the producer turned around and hooked up with his old classmate's wife.

So ungrateful!

Everyone present shook their heads, thinking to themselves that Director Xia's judgment was really poor; the friend he made had actually hooked up with his wife.

Xia Chuyue was also mixed in with the crowd, watching the producer tearfully beg Director Xia for forgiveness.

Seeing that Director Xia was determined, the producer gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of so many people.

Xia Chuyue thought to herself, "Awesome!"

[This producer is truly talented, able to adapt to any situation!]

Sigh, if this producer hadn't been so audacious, he wouldn't have been able to eat and take bribes on set, gambling away all the money the director had allocated for special effects scenes.

Director Xia paused in his steps as he walked out, his eyes suddenly widening.

The other celebrities present were also silently chanting in their hearts:

What the hell?!

Is this producer really that audacious?!

Xia Chuyue didn't stop, and went straight through all the gossip about the producer.

Director Xia really trusts his old classmate too much, after all, they've collaborated so many times.

However, this producer was actually jealous of Director Xia and unwilling to be subordinate to him, so he secretly bought a lot of negative trending topics about the director.

[He was the one who initiated things with Bai Jin; he just couldn't stand Director Xia's arrogant attitude.]

[Later, the producer became addicted to gambling, lost a large sum of money, and then set his sights on embezzling public funds from the production crew.]

He went to great lengths to get Director Xia to give him the special effects work, and he had just paid a sum of money to the casino yesterday.

[However, he hasn't embezzled much money yet. If it gets to later stages, he'll have gambled away the entire special effects team's budget.]

The director hastily hired another special effects company, but due to time constraints and a limited budget, the show was rushed to release. The shoddy special effects were so poorly done that it was immediately pulled from streaming platforms after being heavily criticized online.

Because of this incident, Director Xia was criticized by netizens for "harvesting investors," and many investors dared not invest in him anymore.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wanfeng, who had come to see the gossip, felt a pang of pain in his heart.

As an investor in the production team, Ji Wanfeng poured real money into it.

How dare they embezzle my money?!

Ji Wanfeng's eyes were sharp, and he gave the producer a cold glance.

The producer, unable to hear Xia Chuyue's inner thoughts, felt a chill run down his spine, as if something was spiraling out of control.
