"Why was Shi Nuo chosen specifically? Is it because Shi Nuo's older brother, Shi Cheng, looks a lot like your brother?"
Lu An'an looked sharply at Qin Yin and continued speaking clearly, word by word.
"Winning over big shots and expanding your network is also to catch your brother's eye. I hope your brother will notice you."
"So you entered the entertainment industry, using the excuse of nurturing new talent to open a studio, paving the way for your greed."
"Your studio evades taxes, secretly imprisons teenagers, treats them as commodities, and subjectes them to all sorts of inhuman torture. It's not just because you want to use them to win over those big shots, is it?"
Qin Yin finally struggled to spit out the sock in her mouth. She gagged a few times, looked up at Lu An'an, and curled her lips into a cruel smile: "What did you say? I don't understand."
She wasn't afraid of Lu An'an revealing that the person she liked was her brother, because she knew that he was too busy with business to keep up with online trends. Even though Lu Yanli and she were on the same show, he wouldn't have time to watch it. By the time he finished his business, the online buzz would have died down.
Furthermore, she had a backup plan: if her brother's name appeared online, her hired people would completely erase it, so she wasn't afraid at all. Even if these things were exposed, so what? As long as her intentions weren't discovered, and as long as Lu Yanli remained in the entertainment industry, her brother would never abandon her.
Lu An'an chuckled softly.
"Qin Yin, do you think you can get away unscathed even if I reveal who your brother is?"
Qin Yin responded with a cold laugh, her eyes flashing with a complex light, but she didn't say a word.
Lu An'an shook her head, her smile sarcastic.
You're too naive. I'll definitely block your escape route completely.
"President Fu."
She called softly.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Fu Zhiyan stepped out from behind the staff, his gentle yet profound gaze falling on Lu An'an, awaiting her response.
"Do you know the youngest son of the Berlans family?"
Fu Zhiyan nodded. "I know him."
Lu An'an's words carried a hint of playfulness, her gaze lightly sweeping over Qin Yin beside her. A half-smile curved her lips as she slowly said, "Then I'll trouble President Fu to convey all of this to him as a special gift, and be sure to tell him that his stepsister is in love with his elder brother, the current head of the Perlans family, Earl George Perlans."
[Wow!!!!! The stepsister likes the stepsister??? Qin Yin, you're really twisted!]
[So that's why she didn't dare say who her crush was; it wasn't that she didn't dare, it was that she couldn't!]
[The Perlans family is a noble family in Country A, and Qin Yin is actually a noble stepdaughter?!]
[That won't be the case for long. These noble families generally can't tolerate even the slightest scandal. If it were revealed that his stepsister liked his stepson, Qin Yin would be finished.]
Fu Zhiyan was filled with surprise. Qin Yin was actually the stepdaughter of the Berlans family? No wonder she was so fearless.
He nodded. "Okay, I'll send it over in a bit."
Qin Yin's eyes widened suddenly, her pupils reflecting endless fear and panic. She stared at Fu Zhiyan, trembling, "No!"
Lu An'an's face was as cold as frost, and her words were devoid of any warmth; each word was like an ice pick, piercing straight to the heart.
"Qin Yin, if your mother knew that she had gone to great lengths to marry into a wealthy and noble family and was living a life of luxury, while her daughter was dreaming of marrying her husband's son, what do you think would happen to you?"
"Would your stepfather allow such a scandal to happen in their family if he found out?"
"So, Qin Yin, you might as well go to hell!"
Lu An'an's words struck Qin Yin like a thunderclap, the booming sound lingering for a long time. Her heart sank into an abyss, despair spreading like ice to every part of her body. It's all over, everything is over.
Qi Rang was typing rapidly on his phone when suddenly, a rapid ringtone broke the silence of the room. He answered the phone, his expression becoming increasingly serious, his brows furrowed with an unyielding gravity.
After the call ended, he slowly stood up, his steps resolute and unwavering. He approached Qin Yin step by step and deftly handcuffed her: "Ms. Qin, we are now formally arresting you on charges of illegal imprisonment and intentional homicide."
Qin Yin's body trembled slightly, as if all her strength had been drained away. Her empty eyes stared into the distance, and as she passed by Lu An'an, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips: "Congratulations, you succeeded."
Lu An'an watched Qin Yin being led into the cabin and let out a soft breath.
My second brother's life-or-death ordeal is temporarily over.
After the boat docked, Qi Rang nodded slightly to everyone, then led Qin Yin, He Beichen, and He Tingyu into the police car that had come to pick them up, and drove off with a wailing sound.
Director Xu stood on the pier, a few stray hairs dancing wildly in the wind, on the verge of tears. His show's first episode had turned the resort island into a scam island, and he had even sent away two groups of guests. Now, his reputation was ruined by this one episode!
He saw off the guests with a look of utter despair, and walked away with the production crew, his back to them forlorn.

On the Lu family's private jet.
Lu Mingqian chatted with Fu Linzhou beside him and asked, "Why is Chairman Fu on the island?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Linzhou lowered his gaze slightly and remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "My wife disappeared a long time ago. Someone sent me a photo of my wife on this island, so I came to the island to look for her. But I never expected that this was a carefully woven trap, intended to use me as a bargaining chip to extort a huge ransom from my son."
