"Sister, I'm begging you, please help me!"
Xiao Zhankun, like a little puppy, buried his head in Gong Li's arms and arched his back.
"Alright, alright!"
Gong Li looked helpless and glanced at him with a flirtatious look. "I really can't do anything with you. How did I end up with a brother like you!"
Xiao Zhankun chuckled, "You're my own sister, if you don't help me, who will? It's because you love me so much!"
Gong Li shook her head helplessly and then called He Wu.
Although He Wu had offended Lin Yu last time, which made him somewhat dissatisfied with this mistress.
But Gong Li, that little vixen, knew how to please people. After a few days of tenderness, Gong Li regained He Wu's favor.
After finishing his work, He Wu went to the hospital to visit Gong Li at noon, and Gong Li took the opportunity to bring up Xiao Zhankun's matter.
"Fifth Master, Xiao Kun is my own brother, and he was practically groomed by you. Now that he's been blacklisted, you can't just ignore it!"
He Wu shook his head helplessly, "This ban was issued by Yandu. It's obvious that this kid has offended a big shot. He has only himself to blame; he never knew how to restrain himself!"
Gong Li pouted and said, "Fifth Master, Xiao Kun is still a child. What does he know? Fame brings trouble. I think someone is deliberately trying to frame him!"
"Moreover, everyone in the entertainment industry knows that he is my brother, Gong Li's brother, and also your brother, Fifth Master. I suspect that this matter is not aimed at Xiao Kun at all, but clearly at you!"
He Wu was taken aback for a moment, then said irritably, "Come on! Don't drag me into this, what does this have to do with me!"
Even so, He Wu still had some doubts.
After all, he has quite a few rivals in the entertainment industry, and he wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't investigate this matter.
After Gong Li's repeated pleas, He Wu finally decided to investigate the reason why Xiao Zhankun was blacklisted.
As the godfather of the entertainment industry in northern China, He Wu's influence is indeed formidable.
He directly contacted his connections in the upper echelons of Yandu to gather information.
It would have been a big deal if we hadn't investigated, but once we did, we were almost scared to death!
Because the other party mentioned a very important figure... the Imperial Inspector of Eight Provinces!
What kind of official was the Imperial Inspector of Eight Prefectures? He was like an Imperial Commissioner in the past, second only to the Emperor!
Moreover, he had recently heard that the Imperial Inspector of Eight Prefectures had arrived in Xidu!
He had always wanted to pay his respects to this esteemed person, but had no way of doing so.
Although he was one of the most prominent figures in Xidu, he was still no match for such an important person.
Right now, the Imperial Inspector of Eight Prefectures has actually blacklisted Xiao Zhankun. I wonder if this will have any impact on me, since Xiao Zhankun was someone he promoted.
If the imperial inspector follows the clues and targets him as well, what hope is there for him, a mere entertainment company owner?
Thinking about all this, He Wu became increasingly uneasy and even more eager to meet this imperial inspector.
If all else fails, just spend some money!
Over the years, he has been involved in various activities in Xidu, making connections with many officials, all of whom used money to pave their way. He believes that there is no official in the world who is not corrupt.
If this imperial inspector truly wanted to intimidate him and gain his 'tribute,' he would absolutely offer it up without hesitation.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, He Wu made a phone call to his network of contacts in officialdom.
This person, whose connections and status were quite high, belonged to the core circle of Xidu's officialdom; it was none other than Wang Pingzhi.
When He Wu first rose to power, he had some friction with Wang Pingzhi, and the two became friends after a fight.
During holidays and festivals, He Wu would always personally visit and deliver two bottles of fine wine.
He Wu had cooperated with Wang Pingzhi in several major operations in previous years and had indirectly helped Wang Pingzhi solve many major cases, so Wang Pingzhi had some goodwill towards He Wu.
The two spoke on the phone, and He Wu did not hide anything, telling Xiao Zhankun about his situation and expressing his concerns.
"Director Wang, is the Imperial Inspector's suppression of Zhan Kun due to my negligence...?"
Wang Pingzhi immediately interrupted him, "You're overthinking it. Who does the Imperial Inspector think he is? Do you think he's like those incompetent fools who came down to the capital, demanding bribes and kickbacks?"
“Uh, that’s…” He Wu felt a little confused.
Wang Pingzhi sighed and said, "Don't worry, this imperial inspector is an upright and just official. He wouldn't deliberately make trouble for you little people, and he looks down on your little things! He's just blacklisting Xiao Zhankun because he doesn't like him. He has no other intentions, so don't overthink it!"
Although Wang Pingzhi hadn't known Lin Yu for long, he was quite familiar with Lin Yu's character.
Upon hearing this, He Wu finally relaxed completely.
However, He Wu still took the opportunity to ask Wang Pingzhi to help introduce him to this imperial inspector.
At the same time, he also wanted to plead for Xiao Zhankun.
"Director Wang, as you know, Xiao Zhankun was someone I mentored, so he's practically my protégé. His blacklisting has had a significant impact on me as well. Therefore, I would like to ask for your help with this matter!" He Wu said sincerely.
On the other end of the phone, Wang Pingzhi frowned.
To be honest, he didn't want to get involved in this mess. If he angered the imperial inspector, he would probably suffer the consequences.
However, He Wu still held considerable influence in Xidu, and they usually had a good relationship, so he couldn't refuse outright.
He thought for a moment and said, "The identity of the Imperial Inspector is kept completely secret, and I dare not reveal it easily. However, there is someone you can inquire about!"
He Wu quickly asked, "Who?"
Wang Pingzhi smiled and said, "You've met this person before. I heard he treated your son's illness before, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
"You mean... Doctor Lin?" He Wu's expression froze slightly.
He had always thought Lin Yu was quite mysterious, especially since he was a martial arts master! His background was unfathomable!
Unexpectedly, it's related to the Imperial Inspector?
Wang Pingzhi coughed twice and said, "If you want to see the Imperial Inspector, you can ask Doctor Lin. But you must not say that I told you. If you betray me, from now on we'll pretend we never met!"
He Wu's expression hardened, and he hurriedly replied, "Understood! Understood! Director Wang, don't worry, I will definitely not say that you told me!"
After hanging up the phone, He Wu immediately called Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was also surprised to receive He Wu's call.
"Dr. Lin, I heard you know the Imperial Inspector? Could you please introduce me? I, He Wu, will be very grateful for the reward!" He Wu got straight to the point.
Lin Yu frowned.
However, he quickly felt relieved. Although he had asked the hospital to keep the news under wraps and not reveal his identity, it was inevitable that some rumors would leak out.
However, it seems that He Wu is unaware that he is actually the Imperial Inspector of Eight Prefectures.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly, and he said with interest, "I wonder what important matter Mr. He is so eager to see the Imperial Inspector about?"
He Wu quickly recounted Xiao Zhankun's story.
Lin Yu immediately understood that this guy had come to plead for Xiao Zhankun.
