Prey that walks into the trap
"Ren Yin, you're awake. How are you feeling?"
More than half an hour later, Zhang Renyin slowly woke up, his eyes still unfocused, but thankfully he spoke the next second: "Xiaojing".
This is undoubtedly a remarkable achievement!
Chen Xiaojing almost burst into tears of joy: "Oh my god, your voice is better! That's wonderful, Ren Yin." She was overjoyed. "This way you won't be unable to call for me if you encounter danger. That's great."
Fu Huanian squatted down and examined Zhang Renyin's eyes again carefully: "We'll figure out a solution for the eyes. We'll have to trouble Professor Zhang to put up with this for the next few days."
"It's alright." Zhang Renyin skillfully put on her sunglasses and put her hand on Chen Xiaojing's shoulder. "Let's go back."
The two took a taxi back to the apartment. Chen Xiaojing glanced at her watch; it was 2 PM.
"Xiaojing," he suddenly called out to her, "could you arrange for me to give a speech at B University?"
"Why did you suddenly decide to go to Peking University? Your eyes aren't good right now, and it's more important for you to rest." Chen Xiaojing thought he felt he had been resting for too long. "I don't mind being tired."
“No, I’m not going to give a speech because I simply want to work,” Zhang Renyin denied her opinion. “Just arrange it for me, you know what I mean.”
Chen Xiaojing was puzzled, but she still dialed the phone number of the admissions office of B University and asked if Zhang Renyin had any free time recently, as she wanted to return to her alma mater to give a speech.
The other party readily agreed, as it's not uncommon for industry leaders to return to their alma mater to give speeches: "Great! Of course I'm free, tomorrow is fine! I'll arrange for the media to broadcast it live right away!"
Chen Xiaojing hung up the phone: "Then... Ren Yin, why don't you get ready? The teacher on the phone said it would be ready tomorrow."
"I understand." Zhang Renyin nodded to her. "Xiaojing, is there anything else you need to do? It's okay, I can take care of myself."
Speaking of this, Chen Xiaojing turned on her phone. The directors she had just contacted had indeed sent her their materials. She answered a few calls based on the urgency of the situation and then turned on her computer to start writing the script.
The sound of fingernails tapping on the keyboard could be clearly heard in the not-so-large apartment. Zhang Renyin listened to the sound as his hand swiped across the blind-mode phone that Chen Xiaojing had specially bought for him—he didn't need to prepare for his speech; everything about electrical engineering was in his head, and he could speak fluently on stage.
A message was sent.
“Mr. Wu, the documents I’m sending you are from my private investigations before I went to J country, revealing several malignant tumors within the political inner circle. I know you have the connections to uncover even more, and I need something powerful enough to destroy them. If you can help, Ren Yin will provide HW with all the electrical engineering knowledge I know.”
The other end quickly replied: "No need for such a complicated process, Professor Zhang. Someone has already walked right into our trap."
Because her daughter entered the entertainment industry, Wu Hengyan paid close attention to this murky world and even invested in several well-known entertainment companies, gaining access to firsthand information.
With such an incident in the entertainment industry, everyone was on edge. While most netizens were focused on the case, Wu Hengyan turned her attention to the company that the artist had deregistered shortly before his death.
Just when she was worried about how to obtain evidence, 200 million yuan entered her account. The other party spent so much money to buy the male lead role that her daughter was paired with.
That same day, she met that person downstairs at HW.
He's a young singer who recently had the idea of transitioning into acting. He probably figured that someone like Wu Hengyan would definitely pour the best resources and production team into his daughter, so he spent a lot of money to snatch the male lead role from her.
“Mr. Zhang Ge.” Wu Hengyan politely declined his coffee. “My daughter entered the entertainment industry with the intention of taking it one step at a time. The original author of her previous work recognized her temperament and that’s why she was cast as the female lead. Fortunately, it did well. My daughter is still a newcomer and doesn’t have the opportunity to work with a senior like Mr. Zhang Ge.”
"That...money..."
"Consider this an investment in Mr. Zhang Ge's next drama. No matter what role you play, I, Wu Hengyan, guarantee you'll be the male lead."
With just a few words, he distanced himself from his daughter.
When Zhou Chenjin was called to her office, she had no idea what was going to happen.
"Mr. Wu, what can I do for you?"
“I’d like to ask for your opinions, young people.” On Wu Hengyan’s table was a check for two hundred million yuan. “This money was transferred overseas from the recently deregistered company of the late actress Yang Ning, and then back to China. I suspect it’s money laundering. What do you think?”
"No need for speculation, this is clearly money laundering." Zhou Chenjin glanced at the transaction records. "What does Mr. Wu think? Should we call the police?"
“That Zhang Ge isn’t a top-tier artist. Even if it’s money laundering, I don’t think he could have gotten that much money.” Wu Hengyan fiddled with an ornament on her desk. “Xiao Zhou, you follow up on this. I’m going to play the long game and catch the big fish. I need to find out exactly how this group divided up the 200 million yuan.”
"yes."
