"There are the most amazing peaks, which have helped you and me to be arrogant.
The clear light of the sea and the full moon, fill the cup with light ..."
He pushed away the hand that was on his body, stood up slightly, and took the phone from the bedside table through Naza who was humming in pain from the ringing of the phone.
"Hello?"
"Boss Wei, I'm Baoqiang."
"Um, what is it?"
"I have something I want to ask you for help with. Is it convenient for you to talk?"
Wei Yang, who was still a little confused, suddenly thought of something when he heard this and became alert all of a sudden.
"Give me a few minutes and I'll get back to you."
He hung up the phone first, then carefully pulled his feet out from between the two white and slender legs, and pulled the thin blanket over his exposed flesh. Unexpectedly, he startled the other party, who asked with sleepy eyes.
"What time is it?"
"It's still early. I'll make a phone call. You can go back to sleep, dear."
After coaxing her for a few words and kissing her chin, Wei Yang came to the living room shirtless, poured himself a glass of warm water, and called Wang Baoqiang.
"Okay, you can talk now."
"I have a problem at home and need a lawyer to handle it. You have a wide network of contacts. Do you know any outstanding lawyers? The better."
When Wei Yang heard this, he actually understood what had happened and guessed that something had happened to Ma Jinlian and Song Ximen.
He remembered that it happened in 2016 in his previous life, probably in summer or autumn, and it just happened to happen now.
Hey, a few days ago I saw Wang Baoqiang posting on his WeChat Moments about celebrating his wife’s birthday. The family of four looked happy and warm. I don’t know what his mood is now.
As for why Wang Baoqiang called him, Wei Yang was a little confused at first, but when he heard the lawyer, he understood what was going on.
Wang Baoqiang and Wei Yang have a good relationship and can be called good friends. But if Wang Baoqiang encounters something like being cuckolded and wants to talk to someone, or if his money is taken away and he wants to borrow money to fight a lawsuit, Wei Yang is definitely not the first choice.
As for Chen Sicheng, although the two did not collaborate on "Detective Chinatown" in this time and space, they still have a very good personal relationship.
It is a great shame for such a man that, before he has decided what to do, only those closest to him will be told.
As for borrowing money, it is actually not difficult. Wang Baoqiang could lend money to Duan Long, Huang Bo, those in "Soldier Assault", Rene Liu in "A World Without Thieves", and even his teammates in "Running Man", as well as some other friends in the circle.
After all, even though Wang Baoqiang is a pauper now, he still has his connections and his fame.
Everyone is willing to lend him money and also believes in his ability to repay.
On the contrary, Boss Wei has a high status, and borrowing money from him is actually the most unworthy thing to do. Instead, the correct answer is to ask Boss Wei to help with something that money cannot do.
Wang Baoqiang also knows lawyers, but it is hard to say about top lawyers. It’s not that it is hard to hire them, but you have to wait in line, and how much effort they put in is also a question.
In comparison, Boss Wei has much more face and can hire top lawyers to do their best.
Not to mention, Wei Yang doesn't actually need to hire a lawyer. He has a legal team under him.
The name "Xuhui Tumbler" is also well-known in the entertainment industry. It is very likely that Wang Baoqiang came for Wei Yang's legal team.
"I'll send you Lawyer Wu's WeChat in a bit. Say hello to him. He's the head of the legal team and his abilities are beyond doubt. If you're still worried, you can ask him to introduce you to another... expert in the field."
Wei Yang almost blurted out the word "divorce", but Wang Baoqiang understood what he meant and smiled bitterly.
"Did you see that already?"
Wei Yang was silent for a while, and Wang Baoqiang became more and more certain: "Now think about it, when we were filming the first part of Detective Chinatown, Tang Ren was cuckolded by his bride, wasn't that a perfect portrayal of me?"
"Also, you chatted with me a few times. I felt a little confused at the time. Now it seems that they were all your hints and reminders. Unfortunately, I didn't understand."
Wang Baoqiang's voice became increasingly desolate, and Wei Yang sighed. But fearing that he would think too much, he explained a few words.
"The plot of the movie was a coincidence, but I did vaguely sense that something was wrong, so I pointed it out. I thought I was just being mean, but in the end..."
Wei Yang stopped there and didn't say much, but asked about Wang Baoqiang's plan.
"What are you going to do?"
"Divorce, I still want to make the matter public."
Wei Yang nodded. As he said before, although Wang Baoqiang is honest, he is not stupid. Instead, he is smart in a way that many people don't have.
He was cuckolded because he had no defenses against his wife, but when he realized something was wrong, his choice was a textbook example of an honest man's desperate fight back.
Divorce resolutely and draw a clear line between yourself and that bitch!
Use your connections to find the best lawyer for yourself and fight for the highest degree of property distribution and custody of your children.
By making the truth known and leveraging public opinion to gain sympathy, he would help himself gain an advantage in the lawsuit, while at the same time ruining the other party's reputation and preventing him from using his ex-wife to cause trouble in the future.
Not to mention that Wang Baoqiang had no leverage over the other party, even if there were some non-fatal problems that ruined the other party's reputation, everyone would suspect that they were taking revenge and framing him.
Another point is that some people have suffered losses in this regard before.
For example, Yao Ming’s ex-husband, and Pan Yueming, who just worked with Wei Yang.
This all happened after the breakup, and out of affection or face, I didn't say anything. As a result, I was blamed and after they threw dirty water on me, I couldn't explain myself.
If it weren't for a strange combination of circumstances, the two would still be wrongly accused. Even so, their careers have been greatly affected.
The former is okay as he was not that popular to begin with, while the latter fell from a popular young actor to a third-tier star, and only got a boost from "Day and Night Chase", otherwise he would still be struggling.
Therefore, we must act preemptively in such matters to avoid being misinterpreted in the future.
Not to mention, Wang Baoqiang later sent the adulterer to jail.
Not only did he successfully retaliate and minimize his own losses, he also won a lot of sympathy and popularity among passers-by.
If most honest people had this ability, there wouldn’t be so many tragedies.
Of course, we should also thank the times. At this stage, the social atmosphere is still normal and everyone tends to support the victims. This may not be the case in a few years, and even Wang Baoqiang may suffer losses in the lawsuit.
"If you need anything, feel free to contact me."
Not to mention that Wei Yang had a friendship with Wang Baoqiang, even if he didn't, he would still lend a hand if he encountered such a thing.
"Thank you, Mr. Wei, but I'm afraid this will affect our crew..."
There is also a reason why Wang Baoqiang made this call. "Detective Chinatown 2" will most likely be released during the Spring Festival next year. Wang Baoqiang plays a significant role in the movie, so it is difficult to guarantee that his actions will not affect the movie.
This is not a trivial matter. "Detective Chinatown 2" can be said to be the top IP in the film industry, and its box office prospects are optimistically viewed by countless people.
The minimum box office is guaranteed to be over 2 billion, and it is very likely to become the second 3 billion+ movie in the Chinese film industry after "The Mermaid".
To be honest, Wang Baoqiang couldn't have been without concerns about a project of this magnitude, so it was reasonable for him to inform Wei Yang.
Even if Boss Wei objects, he might divorce Ma Jinlian, but he would restrain himself in many actions.
Not to mention that the contract stipulates that he cannot have any negative news that will affect the movie, otherwise he will have to pay liquidated damages. If it really causes "Detective Chinatown 2" to perform poorly at the box office, it would be fatal to offend the giant Blue Whale and other stakeholders.
"Don't worry, just do it boldly, everyone has sharp eyes."
Wei Yang gave Wang Baoqiang a reassurance. Wang Baoqiang was right in this matter and it was almost impossible for a negative backlash to occur. On the contrary, because of the sympathy points gained, it is likely to have a positive impact on "Detective Chinatown 2".
More importantly, Blue Whale has not been here for nothing over the years.

To put it bluntly, Wang Baoqiang's cheating was suppressed, let alone being cuckolded. If he was caught in conspiracy, there would be no need for Boss Wei to stay in the film industry in the future.
"Thank you, Mr. Wei."
Wang Baoqiang thanked him again with gratitude. Wei Yang comforted him with a few words and then hung up the phone.
After thinking about it, Wei Yang decided to call the public relations director of Blue Whale just in case, and ask him to help promote Wang Baoqiang. More importantly, he wanted to prevent his lead from affecting "Detective Chinatown 2".
After that, Wei Yang was not in the mood to continue sleeping. He made himself a fattening breakfast, left a message for the two beauties from Xinjiang Province, and then asked Li Jiahang to go fishing.
At this time, being with brothers is the most comfortable! …
Wang Baoqiang didn't send out the divorce announcement until the early hours of the next morning, which caused a stir on Weibo and then the entire Internet.
As a representative of grassroots inspiration, he has become one of the most popular movie actors in recent years and is even quite popular in variety shows. Wang Baoqiang's national recognition and popularity are higher than many people imagine.
At the same time, this incident was too explosive.
There have been many divorces and breakups in the entertainment industry, but it is rare for someone to openly announce that he or she has been cuckolded.
What’s even more outrageous is that the adulterer turned out to be the agent. It can be said that they were both betrayed by the people they trusted the most.
Weibo, Zhihu, Tianya, Bilibili and other platforms were flooded with this incident, with all kinds of sympathy, sighs and indignation directed at Wang, while Ma and Song were subjected to crazy attacks and all kinds of insults and attacks.
Amid the turmoil, many celebrities came out to express their condolences and support to Wang Baoqiang.
Wei Yang went to bed early the day before and posted on Weibo the next day. Before that, Chen Sicheng and other brothers, various guests of "Running Man", and many friends and celebrities all expressed their opinions.
After a night of fermentation, a steady stream of details and inside information were revealed by insiders and dug out by netizens.
The more he dug, the angrier he got, and the more he dug into Ma and Song, the worse they seemed.
However, there are also some bright spots, namely Chen Sicheng, who lent money to Wang Baoqiang, and Boss Wei, who was exposed to have provided legal assistance.
It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed!
This kind of timely help is most valuable and is praised by everyone.
As expected, everyone believed that the scene in the first part of "Detective Chinatown" was Boss Wei reminding Wang Baoqiang.
The logic is also very obvious. Boss Wei is a very capable person, a recognized shrewd man, and a playboy who has been through many women. He could see through Ma Jinlian's trick at a glance, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he could only give her a hint.
Unfortunately, Baoqiang was too straightforward and didn’t see it, and no one else realized the deep meaning of this.
Some people even thought of Pan Yueming, believing that Boss Wei's decision to let him play the adoptive father in "Detective Chinatown" was actually a subtle reminder.
Even the reason why Pan was used in "Day and Night" was because he felt sympathy for his good friend Wang after seeing him being cheated so badly and accidentally hurting others, so he gave him a hand.
Boss Wei himself was a little stunned after reading this analysis.
He was just repeating what others had said in "Detective Chinatown". He didn't know whether Chen Sicheng had this intention, but he could connect it with "Day and Night Chase", which really opened his eyes.
Because Wang Baoqiang remained silent afterwards, Wei Yang didn't want to get too involved and also kept silent and didn't explain, which made the rumor even more mysterious.
Pan Yueming called to express his gratitude. Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying were also curious about how Wei Yang figured out Ma Jinlian's trick.
"intuition!"
Wei Yang said it casually, but in fact he had never met the other party many times.
As mentioned before, because he knew the other party's character and his own bad reputation, Wei Yang had always been cautious to avoid getting involved.
However, several women were really intimidated by Boss Wei, mainly because the vision and judgment he had demonstrated in the past were indeed incredibly accurate, which gave everyone a basis for trust.
Then these women became excited and insisted that Wei Yang reveal some big news he had discovered.
Especially those loving couples, model husbands and wives, have they ever had any problems? And some industry gossips and rumors, whether they are true or false.
Wei Yang was so angry that he laughed: "You think I'm a paparazzi? I've never had any dealings with them, so how would I know?"
“Boring!”
After Boss Wei dealt with this group of troublemakers, Wang Baoqiang had completely occupied the commanding heights of public opinion and had a great advantage in the lawsuit.
In this case, Wei Yang put the matter aside and turned his attention to the "Wushuang" which had just been finished.
The film was released for more than 40 days and the final box office was 1.61 billion.
It easily won the summer box office championship and is currently ranked second on this year's box office list, second only to "The Mermaid".
Taking the top two spots in the annual box office in one go, with a cumulative box office of over 5 billion, Blue Whale has once again made a big splash, ensuring the industry leader's face in the film industry and even making it possible to achieve a far-reaching lead.
At the same time, including this "Wushuang", Wei Yang's cumulative personal box office has reached more than 6.8 billion.
If "Detective Chinatown 2" during the Spring Festival next year can really hit the 3 billion mark as expected by the outside world, Wei Yang has a good chance of becoming the first "Mr. 10 billion box office".
Although this title has become somewhat overused later on, it is still very valuable at this stage.
Not only did it greatly enhance Wei Yang's personal reputation, but more importantly, it proved the strength of Blue Whale and further strengthened the foundation of the industry leader...
