Over the next few days, Lin Qian didn't rest. She contacted the girls who had been hurt by Wang Hai and encouraged them to come forward and testify against Wang Hai's crimes.
At first, the girls were afraid of Wang Hai's power and dared not stand up. But when they saw Lin Qian's determined eyes and heard her promise to protect their safety, their fear was gradually replaced by hope.
"Lin Qian, can you really help us?" a pretty girl asked timidly, tears welling in her eyes. "Wang Hai... he did that to me, and he threatened me, saying that if I tell anyone, I'll be ruined in this industry..."
"Don't worry, with me here, he won't dare do anything to you." Lin Qian gently patted the girl's shoulder, her tone firm. "I will make him pay for what he's done!"
Encouraged by Lin Qian, more and more girls stood up and bravely exposed Wang Hai's ugly face to the media. Public opinion was in uproar, and Xingyao Entertainment became the target of public criticism.
Wang Hai never dreamed that he would be driven to such a state by a minor celebrity who had already been sidelined. Enraged, he called Lin Qian, yelling, "Lin Qian, you bitch! What do you want?!"
"What do I want?" Lin Qian sneered. "I've said it before, I want to ruin your reputation and make you pay for what you've done!"
"You..." Wang Hai was so angry at Lin Qian's words that he almost vomited blood. "Who do you think you are? Do you really think you can bring me down?!"
"Whether I can bring you down or not, you'll soon find out." Lin Qian's tone was icy. "Wang Hai, enjoy your last moments. I'll show you what true despair is!"
Lin Qian hung up the phone, a cold glint in her eyes. She had already laid a trap, just waiting for Wang Hai to walk right into it.
Meanwhile, Wang Hai was unaware that he had walked to the edge of a precipice. He was busy contacting various connections, trying to suppress the public opinion storm. However, all his efforts were in vain, because Lin Qian held his most fatal weakness...
A few days later, Star Shine Entertainment Company.
"Lin Qian? What brings you here?" The receptionist looked at the simply dressed and haggard-looking girl in front of her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Since Lin Qian was sidelined, she has rarely appeared at the company. Everyone thought she had given up, but unexpectedly she suddenly appeared today.
"I'm here to see Mr. Wang. Could you please inform him for me?" Lin Qian said calmly.
The receptionist hesitated for a moment, but ultimately dialed Mr. Wang's office. After all, Lin Qian had once been a rising star heavily promoted by the company, and although she had lost favor now, the receptionist didn't dare to offend her too much.
"Mr. Wang, Lin Qian has arrived and says she wants to see you."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a deep male voice: "Let her in."
Lin Qian followed the receptionist to Mr. Wang's office.
Mr. Wang's real name is Wang Hai, the general manager of Xingyao Entertainment. He's a fat, greasy-faced middle-aged man. He looked at Lin Qian standing before him, a lewd glint in his eyes.
"Hey, isn't this our big star Lin Qian? What, you've come to your senses and are willing to accept my proposal?" Wang Hai said as he walked closer to Lin Qian, reaching out his thick hand to touch her face.
Lin Qian took a small step back, dodging Wang Hai's groping hand, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips: "President Wang, you really have a bad memory. I remember I clearly rejected you back then."
"Refuse? Haha, in this industry, no one has ever dared to refuse me, Wang Hai!" Wang Hai was enraged by Lin Qian's words. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Don't be so stubborn! Don't you know your own predicament? With just one word from me, you can forget about ever staying in this industry again!"
"Really?" Lin Qian smiled instead of getting angry. She took a document out of her bag and threw it in front of Wang Hai. "Then take a look. Can this document make it impossible for you to stay in this industry?"
Wang Hai picked up the document with a puzzled look, and when he saw the contents of the document, his face turned deathly pale.
"What is this?" Wang Hai's fat hands trembled, and the document almost slipped from his grasp.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Wang. This is just 'proof' of your 'hard work' over the years." Lin Qian crossed her arms and looked at Wang Hai with a relaxed expression. "Tax evasion, bribery, sexual harassment of female artists... tsk tsk, which one isn't a serious crime? I think Mr. Wang wouldn't want these 'glorious deeds' to be made public, would he?"
Wang Hai's face turned from deathly pale to ashen. He slammed the documents on the table and roared, his voice trembling with fear, "You—you're slandering me! You're defaming me! What evidence do you have to prove that I did these things?!"
"Evidence?" Lin Qian chuckled, walked up to Wang Hai, leaned down, and whispered in his ear, "Mr. Wang, you don't really think I only have this much evidence, do you?"
Wang Hai's pupils constricted sharply. He seemed to realize something and looked at Lin Qian in horror: "What...what do you mean?"
Lin Qian straightened up, patted Wang Hai's fat cheek as if she were patting a pig about to be slaughtered, and said with a hint of pity, "Mr. Wang, you'd better pray for yourself."
After saying that, Lin Qian turned and left without any hesitation.
"Wait!" Wang Hai panicked. He jumped up from his chair and chased after Lin Qian, his face beaming with apologies. "Lin Qian, look, it was all my fault before. I was blind to your talent and offended you. Here, name your terms. As long as you let me go, anything is negotiable!"
Lin Qian stopped and looked at Wang Hai with a half-smile. Her gaze sent chills down Wang Hai's spine.
"Mr. Wang, are you begging me?" Lin Qian's tone was unreadable.
"Yes, yes, I beg you, I beg you to let me go this time. I promise I'll never do it again!" Wang Hai bowed and scraped, looking like a lapdog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
"Let you go? Have you asked the girls you've hurt?" Lin Qian's voice suddenly turned cold. She shoved Wang Hai away, her eyes as icy as a demon from hell. "Wang Hai, remember this: retribution may be delayed, but it will come! Today, I'm just here to inform you that your good days are over!"
After Lin Qian finished speaking, she left Wang Hai's office without looking back.
Wang Hai was left slumped on the ground, his face filled with terror and despair...
A few days later, major media outlets received an anonymous email containing substantial evidence of Wang Hai's crimes, along with the obscene video. The entire entertainment industry was in an uproar.
Xingyao Entertainment's stock price plummeted, and Wang Hai was thrust into the eye of the storm, becoming a pariah.
Just as Wang Hai was in a state of panic, his office door was suddenly kicked open, and several police officers walked towards him expressionlessly.
"Mr. Wang, you are suspected of multiple crimes. Please come with us now." The lead police officer showed the arrest warrant and said coldly.
Looking at everything before him, Wang Hai's face turned ashen. He slumped into his chair, like a stray dog...
