next day
Jinling Hall
I arrived at Banshan early in the morning, and I seemed very calm.
Mr. Wei and some senior members of Jinlingtang arrived at the scene one after another.
"Mr. Wei, we've been trying to call Miss Bai, but no one is answering. The call is scheduled for 9:00 AM. Should we postpone it?" Mr. Wei's secretary whispered in his ear.
Old Wei's expression was somewhat somber.
Yesterday, Banshan agreed to challenge the founding patriarch, with the location set at Jinling Hall and the time at nine o'clock in the morning.
Qianmo doesn't seem like someone who's unpunctual, but it's already 8:30, and not only is she not there, but we can't even get through to her on the phone.
"Wait a little longer."
Xu Ziqian looked at Old Wei, a smug look in his eyes: "Old Wei, it's so late, why hasn't Tengyue's screenwriter arrived yet?"
One of the members who was on good terms with Xu Ziqian said, "Could it be that he deserted at the last minute? I've seen plenty of people like that; they'll do anything to generate buzz."
"Hmph, if she doesn't dare to come, it means that she didn't write the script for 'Seven Deadly Sins' at all, and she has also slandered Mr. Banshan's reputation. We at Jinling Hall should announce to the industry that we have completely blacklisted someone like her."
Banshan sneered inwardly, thinking that the screenwriter probably wouldn't be able to make it today.
Teng Yue is really ungrateful. Xiao Cao originally wanted to buy the script of "Seven Deadly Sins" for ten million, but Teng Yue actually wanted to rip him off.
Today, I'll just wait to lose everything.
On the surface, Banshan put on a very magnanimous appearance.
"Let's wait a bit longer, maybe there's a traffic jam on the way."
His words only fueled the discontent of the powerful figures present.
"Hmph, which of us here isn't more important than her? We all arrived ahead of time, so why did she get stuck in traffic? It's clearly a disrespect to Jinling Hall."
"Maybe she doesn't dare to come at all, afraid that if she comes, her hypocritical face of lying will be exposed."
"Elder Wei, you are the head of Jinling Hall. What do you think should be done about this?"
Old Wei waved his hand with a sullen face.
"Since it's a rule set by our Jinling Hall, it must be held as scheduled. If Bai Qianmo doesn't arrive before nine o'clock, then we'll consider it as her having given up."
Upon hearing Elder Wei's words, Xu Ziqian and Banshan exchanged a glance.
Today, Tengyue is completely finished.
Xu Ziqian sneered inwardly. Jiang Hai, as long as I, Xu Ziqian, am around, there will be no place for you to survive in this circle.

A dilapidated factory
Several cars were parked at the entrance, but because it was a relatively remote place, no one nearby would notice what was going on.
Inside the factory, Li Song, Su Peishan, Jiang Hai, and Bai Qianmo were all bound hand and foot and left on a pile of weeds.
There were about a dozen strong thugs standing at the entrance.
Li Song roared, his face ashen, "Who are you people? Why did you kidnap us and bring us here?"
One of the men took a cigarette from his brother's hand, and the brother next to him immediately handed him a lighter.
The man lit a cigarette, held it between his fingers, and took a drag.
"Who we are is not important; what is important is that someone wants to buy your lives."
"It's Xu Ziqian, it must be him. Only he could do something so insidious," Jiang Hai said angrily.
Su Peishan then looked at Qianmo beside her and whispered, "Qianmo, the three of us will try to stop these people later, and you can try to escape when you have a chance."
Bai Qianmo remained silent, her calm gaze fixed on the man at the head of the group.
"Are you prosperous people?"
The man paused slightly as he smoked, his fierce eyes fixed on Bai Qianmo.
He had noticed this pretty girl a long time ago. If the boss hadn't told him not to touch them, he really wouldn't have been able to resist wanting to taste her.
"Little girl, you're pretty smart."
In the morning, Bai Qianmo, Jiang Hai, and Sister Su were riding in Li Song's car to Jinling Hall when they were unexpectedly surrounded by three cars from different directions.
At the time, she guessed that it was most likely done by people from Fansheng. After the buyout talks failed yesterday, Fansheng would definitely resort to even more despicable means in desperation.
If they can stop her from participating in the challenge against Banshan, Jinlingtang will assume that she has automatically forfeited. In this way, Fansheng Film and Television will deliver a fatal blow to Tengyue without lifting a finger.
The man walked over and glanced down at them.
Who is the founding father?
Su Peishan suddenly stood up: "I am. If you have a problem, come at me. Release the other three."
The man chuckled and reached out to lightly grab Su Peishan's chin.
Su Peishan turned her face away in disgust.
Li Song angrily said, "Get your filthy hands off me."
The man ignored Li Song and looked at Su Peishan with a smile: "Do you think I don't know your identities? Su Peishan, director of Tengyue's brokerage department."
As the last word fell, the man's smile turned cold, and he glanced at Li Song and Jiang Hai.
"Mr. Li can also be ruled out. Jiang Hai? Heh, as far as I know, although your filming skills are good, screenwriting is not your forte. So in the end, that leaves only Miss Bai, right?"
Bai Qianmo looked at the other person calmly: "That's right, it's me."
"Very good, that's straightforward enough. Someone, take Miss Bai to another place."
Su Peishan, Jiang Hai, and Li Song quickly stepped in front of Bai Qianmo.
Where are you taking her?
Su Peishan coldly rebuked, "What you're doing is illegal. If our company can't contact us, we'll call the police immediately. Then you can expect to go to jail."
