Although Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan gained some public understanding and support after the second press conference, they knew that there was still a long way to go if they wanted to completely turn the situation around and eradicate the dark secrets of the entertainment industry. This path of investigating the truth was full of thorns and obstacles, and every step was arduous.
Their first challenge was that while the key witnesses were willing to come forward, they hesitated to fully cooperate due to concerns for their own safety. Most of these witnesses were minor figures in the entertainment industry, and faced with powerful, dark forces, they feared retaliation. Exposure of their identities could bring utter destruction to themselves and their families. Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan understood their concerns and could only patiently persuade them, promising to do everything possible to protect their safety.
To ensure the witness's safety, Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan had to spend a great deal of time and energy developing a meticulous protection plan. They hired professional security personnel, arranged for the witness and his family to be moved to safe accommodations, and implemented a series of confidentiality measures, such as changing contact information and restricting their movement. However, the dark forces seemed to have noticed their actions and constantly sent people to secretly monitor and harass the witness, trying to silence him.
During an escort of a witness to a secret meeting place, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran were attacked by a group of mysterious men. These men, armed with weapons, attacked aggressively, clearly prepared. Although Ling Yichen and Jun Moran were highly skilled, they were outnumbered and engaged in a fierce battle. In the intense struggle, Ling Yichen suffered a cut to his arm while protecting the witness, and Jun Moran was also nearly injured. Fortunately, their security personnel arrived in time and repelled the mysterious men. This attack made them acutely aware that the path to uncovering the truth was fraught with danger, and they could face imminent peril.
Besides the threat to their personal safety, they also encountered numerous difficulties in collecting evidence. Many documents and materials related to the shady dealings were kept under tight security, stored in inaccessible locations such as the organizers' private offices and encrypted databases. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran attempted to obtain this evidence through legal means, but faced various obstacles. They applied for investigation warrants from relevant departments, but the procedures were cumbersome and progress was slow. Furthermore, the dark forces seemed to have some influence within the relevant departments, causing their applications to be repeatedly thwarted.
Left with no other option, they resorted to some risky methods. Jun Mo Ran used his intelligence and connections to befriend a technician who had previously worked for the organizer's company. This technician was familiar with some of the organizer's internal operations and deeply resentful of their shady practices. At Jun Mo Ran's urging, the technician decided to help them. He revealed some security vulnerabilities in the organizer's database to Jun Mo Ran and assisted them in developing a hacking plan.
However, hacking into a database is illegal, and the consequences of being discovered would be dire. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran were well aware of the risks, but determined to obtain crucial evidence, they decided to take the plunge. Late one night, with the remote assistance of technicians, they began their attempt to hack into the organizer's database. The entire process was tense and exciting; they were constantly worried about being discovered, and every operation was performed with extreme caution. After several hours of arduous effort, they finally succeeded in breaching the database's defenses and obtaining some important documents and data.
These documents and materials meticulously documented the collusion and deals between the organizers and powerful figures and wealthy businessmen, as well as their specific methods and evidence of manipulating the awards ceremony and smearing artists. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran were overjoyed, knowing that this evidence would be key to completely exposing the shady dealings. However, before they could even rejoice, they discovered that they had been discovered themselves. The organizers' cybersecurity team quickly located their position and reported the case to the police.
Ling Yichen and Jun Moran were in dire straits. Although they possessed evidence, they faced potential imprisonment if apprehended by the police, and the evidence might also be destroyed. In this critical moment, they devised a plan. They contacted a highly respected and righteous lawyer—Attorney Lin. Attorney Lin, who had been closely following the dark side of the entertainment industry, deeply sympathized with Ling Yichen and Jun Moran's plight. He decided to help them, using his legal knowledge and connections to buy them time and an opportunity.
Attorney Lin quickly arrived at their hideout and discussed countermeasures with them. He advised them to surrender to the police voluntarily, hand over all the evidence they had obtained, explain the situation, and seek the police's understanding and support. Although Ling Yichen and Jun Moran hesitated, they trusted Attorney Lin's judgment and decided to follow his advice.
Accompanied by Attorney Lin, they surrendered to the police and handed over their evidence. After understanding what had happened, the police expressed their understanding of their actions but stated that further investigation was needed. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran were temporarily detained, where they spent a long and agonizing period. They didn't know what the police investigation would reveal, or whether they would be able to escape their predicament and regain their freedom.
Even in detention, they did not give up their pursuit of the truth. Through their lawyer, Lin, they maintained contact with the outside world, continuing to guide their followers and the truth-finding team in collecting evidence, while also closely monitoring the police investigation. They believed that everything they had done would be worthwhile once the truth came to light.
After a period of investigation, the police finally confirmed the authenticity of the evidence provided by Ling Yichen and Jun Moran, and decided to open a case for investigation against the relevant personnel of the organizer. As a result, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran were released, and they finally walked out of the detention center and saw the light of day again.
Although they have successfully taken a significant step in exposing the dark secrets, they know the road ahead remains fraught with challenges. The forces of darkness will not surrender easily; they may retaliate using various means. But Ling Yichen and Jun Moran are no longer afraid. They have become stronger and braver in this arduous journey to uncover the truth. They will continue to fight the forces of darkness to the very end, until the dark secrets of the entertainment industry are completely revealed, restoring a clear and bright environment to the industry.
