After Hua Rong and Fu Jin finished their pranks, their expressions turned cold.
She stared blankly at Feng Bing's image on the television screen.
"Hello everyone, I'm Feng Bing. The reason I'm standing here today is to expose the illegal activities of Shi Liang, one of the top male stars of my former company, Juhuang Entertainment, from the 'Xuan Shi Duo'..."
One sentence caused a huge uproar.
No one expected that Feng Bing, who was calm at the moment, would say something that would cause a turmoil in the entire Chinese entertainment industry!
"I believe everyone has seen the exclusive report on the Entertainment Night program about the fight at a nightclub invested in by Shi Liang, a member of the famous boy band Xuan Shi..."
Fu Jin frowned and asked Hua Rong, "What exactly is she trying to say? This nightclub brawl should have only been reported a few days ago, right?"
This group, Xuan Shi, is not only a top group in China, but also a well-known boy band throughout Asia.
Each of its artists, individually, would be considered a top-tier artist in China.
The combined duo, Xuan Shi, surpasses even the top tier!
It was the launch of the X-Shi that established Juhuang's status as an industry leader.
Although many years have passed, the Xuan Shi group is still the top boy group in China.
Hua Rong took a sip of water: "You've been getting scolded for half a month now, it's time to get out of this mess!"
In Hua Rong's view, if people want Tianxing's matter to be completely forgotten, an even bigger scandal needs to be used to cover it up.
Ju Huangshi Liang was clearly the right person Hua Rong had chosen.
Moreover, she was truly disgusted by Juhuang's actions, which is why she sent a message to the people at "Entertainment Starry Night" in advance.
The events of the previous life occurred later than the present, by approximately eight months.
A video was also released by "Entertainment Night".
The video shows that in January of last year, a security guard at the nightclub "Zui," where Shi Liang served as a director, dragged a male customer, Jiang, out of the hotel and repeatedly beat him.
According to reports, the man surnamed Jiang said he rescued a woman who was being sexually harassed at a nightclub because he saw injustice.
As a result, he was surrounded and beaten by nightclub staff.
Jiang then called the police. However, without reviewing the surveillance footage, the police accepted the nightclub's claim that "no one laid a hand on him" and that "Jiang was the perpetrator of the sexual harassment," and arrested Jiang.
This incident instantly sparked outrage among Chinese netizens, with over 900,000 Chinese citizens petitioning for a thorough police investigation.
Shi Liang's celebrity status also made him a target of public criticism.
Subsequently, Shi Liang's entertainment company, Juhuang, issued a statement saying, "We will not make any official statement in response."
Just as one wave subsided, another arose: April 11, three months after the video incident.
Huaguo Shudi News Channel reported that it received a tip from a former employee of "Zui".
It is said that the nightclub's VIP room is a place for customers to engage in drug use.
The former employee said the nightclub's VIP room was located next to a special entrance and was only open to special guests.
"It's an open secret that some people inside openly use drugs."
The following day, Chinese media reported that staff members of the "crime" had provided drugs to VIP clients.
However, this claim was soon denied by Shi Liang and his company, Juhuang Entertainment.
Five days later, on April 17, Feng Lei, the boss of Juhuang Entertainment, the company where Shi Liang worked, issued an apology to the public on behalf of Shi Liang.
He also stated that Shi Liang was not directly involved in the operation of the nightclub.
Shi Liang later posted that he was unaware of the management of the nightclub.
He also resigned from his position at the nightclub.
Then, on April 21, the police officially included Shi Liang in the scope of the investigation and made him a suspect.
They were also required to conduct D-item testing and related investigations.
As the crackdown on drugs intensified, the Chinese police established a special task force to conduct seizures and searches of "Zui" and the Linjingyi Third Detachment in his jurisdiction.
They obtained information related to suspected drug trafficking and collusion with the police.
On April 26, Yao Jing, a host on China's official television station, exclusively reported on the news that Shi Liang's other nightclub, "Fan," was suspected of tax evasion during the program "My Family."
On May 6, Chinese media reported that Feng Lei, CEO of Juhuang Entertainment, the entertainment company to which Shi Liang belongs, is the actual owner of "Fan".
On the same day, April 26, an even more shocking revelation was uncovered: Chinese media reported that Shi Liang had used women to sexually bribe nightclub investors.
On April 3, the well-known Chinese entertainment media outlet "Secret News" published a report.
Based on chat logs from some employees and internal chat groups, the charges against "crime" involve drug trafficking and sexual offenses.
The agency stated that "Sin" employs a specific sales position—MD—who, in exchange for high compensation, smuggles intoxicated female guests into VIP rooms.
The staff would film and spy on customers having sex in the VIP rooms, and some MDs would even offer date rape drugs to VIP customers in order to please them.
However, Juhuang Entertainment denied it once again.
Then, on April 28, the official Chinese television station exclusively reported on "Entertainment Night" that "Nightclub owner Zheng Dabao tested positive for drugs in his hair."
Shi Liang subsequently underwent a drug test, which came back negative.
The company announced that it will suspend its entertainment work to cooperate with the police investigation.
In the early hours of April 28, a reporter from the Singapore Daily captured images of two vehicles loaded with documents to be destroyed near Juhuang Entertainment Company.
In response, Juhuang stated that "this is a routine document destruction process carried out monthly or quarterly, and explicitly stated that it is unrelated to the Shi Liang incident."
However, the incident did not end there.
On May 4, China's state television reported that "Zui" had bribed the local police station with 500,000 yuan.
On May 5, the police stated that they had obtained evidence such as chat logs showing Shi Liang's alleged involvement in "sexual bribery" and "sexual entertainment," and confirmed that there was collusion between nightclubs and the police.
At the Two Sessions meeting held on the same morning, the Chinese president also gave instructions regarding the Shi Liang incident.
"Regarding the suspicions of collusion with the police, we hope that the fate of the police will be staked on a thorough investigation and that the matter will be handled in accordance with the law. If the suspicions cannot be completely eliminated, we are prepared to face whatever may happen."
Finally, on May 10, the police confirmed that the "sex and hospitality" chat records were authentic, and Shi Liang was officially listed as a criminal suspect and barred from leaving the country.
Shi Liang, who is likely to be selected as one of the top ten outstanding representatives of the Chinese entertainment industry on the 25th, is also likely to be excluded.
On May 11, Shi Liang announced his official retirement from the entertainment industry on Instagram.
However, this move did not bring an end to this uproar.
Subsequently, Chinese media exposed a chat group called "How Pure We Are" that included several male Chinese pop stars affiliated with Juhuang, such as Shi Liang.
Chat logs show that someone shared secretly filmed videos of couples having sex in a group chat with Shi Liang and several other artists and business partners from Juhuanghuaguo.
