Chapter 396: Chu Hong and Director Wang

When Su Yang received Mr. Jia’s call, he was still on the way home.

Even though autumn was approaching, the temperature in Shanghai did not seem to have dropped and was still as hot as before.

The only merit was that the weather was no longer as humid as before and this made the atmosphere much more comfortable.

Su Yang answered the call. “Mr. Jia?”

Mr. Jia’s deep and magnetic voice came from the other end. “It’s me, Mr. Su. I’ve already resolved the matter as per your instructions.”

Su Yang looked at the time. ‘It hasn’t even been a week since I asked Mr. Jia to handle the matter. In fact, it’s only been 6 days. Mr. Jia’s really efficient.’

Mr. Jia then reported to Su Yang the details about how he handled Chu Hong and Director Wang.

Mr. Jia’s methods were very simple, exposing their motives to the public rather than take their life.

He, who had years of experience dealing with such matters, did not use public opinion right away. Instead, he used Su Yang’s evidence to call the police in the name of his management company. He said that Chu Hong was suspected of being involved in bribery and demanded the police to apprehend her.

With sufficient evidence and Mr. Jia’s connections in Shanghai, Chu Hong, who had been staying in Shanghai all this while, was brought to investigate by the police.

But Mr. Jia’s goal from the start was not Chu Hong, but Director Wang…

With Chu Hong out of the picture, dealing with Director Wang was like taking candy from a baby.

Mr. Jia saved Director Wang’s interview record from the interface of a well-known public account in the industry. Then, he sued Director Wang in court for damaging the reputation of the movie, its company and the crew within.

While suing Director Wang, he also sent these subpoenas and evidence to the company who owned the public account, asking them to testify.

When the company saw that the chain of evidence was so complete, they were afraid that they would be implicated, so they quickly sent someone to testify. They even took out the recording evidence from the interview to prove that Director Wang had said those words.

Court was in session almost immediately, thanks to Mr. Jia’s connections.

With the unbreakable evidence in place, Director Wang was sentenced to pay 43,000 yuan in compensation for defaming Su Yang’s film company.

Director Wang wanted to appeal but since he had no money, it did not matter.

Plus, since he had already used up all his money, how was he going to compensate even if he wanted to?

Coupled with the fact that he had been unable to contact Chu Hong, he was at a loss.

He did not know whether he should admit defeat or endure it.

At that moment, Mr. Jia found him and suggested that he could withdraw the lawsuit or nullify his compensation. However, the condition was that… Director Wang needed to testify in court as a witness and sue Chu Hong.

Director Wang had no choice but to agree.

Soon, Chu Hong’s case was brought to trial.

Mr. Jia accused Chu Hong’s company of accepting bribes:

When Han Yi left, Chu Hong took bribes and leaked business secrets. Moreover, when she wanted to jump ship to another company, she received bribes and took away many celebrities with her.

The two incidents caused Su Yang’s company to lose 32.6 million yuan. Plus, the total amount of bribes was over 1.3 million yuan.

He requested for Chu Hong to compensate for all the losses and bear the corresponding legal responsibilities.

Because of Su Yang’s video, voice recording and Director Wang’s verification, Mr. Jia’s evidence was complete. The court had decided that Mr. Jia had won the trial.

However, Chu Hong had no way of making such a large compensation. Therefore, the court could only charge Chu Hong to compensate 560,000 yuan.

However, when it came to her sentence, she was sentenced to 12 years of imprisonment and confiscation of her assets under the guidelines of, “Those who received bribes above 100,000 yuan will be sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment or life imprisonment, confiscation of assets could be carried out”.

Chu Hong protested the court’s decision and demanded an appeal.

However, all of this was within Mr. Jia’s expectations. However, his goal was not just to punish Chu Hong by the law but… the court’s verdict.

After the both judgments were passed, Mr. Jia contacted all the websites that had previously published negative news about Su Yang’s “Fighting The Buddha”.

The lawyer’s letter, the documents to prove that he had won the trial and the article that he had drafted beforehand were all sent over together. The purpose was very clear, either they were to meet in court, or the websites involved had to publish the article.

Therefore, both cases had been published on various websites and public accounts.

Because it was written by Mr. Jia, the propensity of the article was obviously leaning towards their management company.

Furthermore, with the court’s verdict, it was already a given, so there was no point arguing about it. Therefore, when Chu Hong was still in the detention center, the news about her and Director Wang’s collaboration had already spread throughout the industry.

In Mr. Jia’s well-written article, Director Wang was an uneducated person who likes to implement unspoken rules and… betrayed his partner by testifying in court.

Chu Hong, on the other hand, had a messy private life, sleeping with others in exchange for resources. She was arrogant and conceited. She accepted bribes and invaded the company’s assets for her own personal gain. she was a vicious woman who would harm the company’s interests if she had to.

In fact, Mr. Jia had somehow managed to get hold of Chu Hong’s medical record in the hospital that had “Stage 1 Syphilis” written on it.

Syphilis was a sexual disease. Unless the person is involved in multiple sexual relationships, it was impossible to come into contact with it.

This was concrete evidence that supported the fact that Chu Hong had a messy private life where she relied on sleeping with others to earn resources.

Mr. Jia’s every single action had been directed at the culprit with the strongest intention of taking the down.

Director Wang did not have any real talent, so he needed someone to help him If he wanted to get back on his feet. However, because Mr. Jia had directly exposed his betrayal of Chu Hong, anyone who had wanted to help Director Wang in the future had to consider whether they would be stabbed in the back.

As for Chu Hong, she had real talent. Even if she had taken over the company’s assets, some ruthless people would rather collaborate with her than to employ her.

However, Mr. Jia had exposed that she relied on sleeping with other celebrities to climb up the social ladder. This made those who wanted to invest in Chu Hong or even those celebrities who wanted to rely on Chu Hong immediately weigh the potential to their own reputation within the industry…

Plus, with the revelation of Chu Hong’s sexually transmitted disease, her career had officially ended. Those who had dared to invest in Chu Hong or even celebrities that Chu Hong had wanted to rope in would have pulled back with that revelation.

With this move alone, Chu Hong could never hope to be able to make a comeback.

It had to be said that Mr. Jia had cleverly planned everything.

Obviously, everything had proceeded according to Mr. Jia’s plans. Once the matter was publicized, everyone within the industry avoided Director Wang and Chu Hong as though they were a plague.

Director Wang did not have many projects to begin with, so his losses were comparably smaller. However, he had already fallen to the point where he would not receive any reply from anyone within the industry that he requested for help from.

Chu Hong, on the other hand, had it much worse. All the partnerships that she had negotiated with in the past had been terminated immediately and the celebrities that she wanted to poach, or those that wanted to join her, had all disappeared and pretended as though nothing ever happened.

Of course, this negative information could also help support the second trial.

Most of the time, verdicts within the country would be affected by public opinion. With so many negative opinions, it was very likely that Chu Hong’s verdict would remain the same.

Su Yang was amazed by Mr. Jia’s series of maneuvers. ‘His knowledge of human behaviour and his series of maneuvers is truly… vicious..

‘I’m glad that Mr. Jia didn’t use his wits against me. Otherwise, I would have to… end him.

‘After all, at the end of the day, might overcomes everything. No matter how impressive one was, no matter how many schemes they had, it would all amount to nothing as long as the user is dead.

‘This is why I’m more and more clear about what I have to focus on developing in this world. Special abilities and little monsters are the key to my foundation.

‘However, I have to restrain myself as well. Even though the law could no longer judge me and I would not leave any evidence behind in whatever I do, I’m still human. I need to maintain my own moral ground.

‘I will only walk to my doom if I had unrestrained powers.

‘Therefore, my morals and my conscience are whatever that’s keeping me from straying too far.’

Su Yang left the matter to Mr. Jia to keep an eye on while he remains on the sidelines.

In his opinion, neither Chu Hong nor Director Wang were people worth his time to deal with since they were both minor characters.

Unless it was beyond Mr. Jia’s control, he would not even so much as look at them.

Especially since Su Yang was not in the mood to bother about them. He found out how he could complete the new Silver rank mission!

The method to complete the silver mission was actually related to Li Runze.

When he was having a meal with Li Runze earlier, Li Runze had mentioned about most company’s operations and how most companies nowadays were burdened with debt.

Having a reasonable amount of liabilities could motivate a company to perform better. Moreover, it could also be the driving force towards business development.

Therefore, if Su Yang did not have enough money, he could go to the bank and ask for a loan. As long as his assets were good enough, he could borrow as much as he wanted.

‘That makes sense!

‘In fact, I do actually have money, but most of it’s been held by iQIYI.

‘It’s impossible for me to earn 50 million yuan in two months. But… it’s possible to borrow 50 million yuan and spend it!

‘As for the loan, how am I going to pay it back…

‘The box office of my movie should be close to 40 million yuan. So I should be able to accumulate the money for the remaining amount.

‘Moreover… I can’t be left with nothing from the 50 million yuan loan, right?

‘I’ll manage to return the loan somehow.

‘So it’s decided, I’ll get a 50 million yuan loan from the bank and then spend all of it!

‘It feels good just thinking about it…’

Now that he had a method for clearing the Silver-rank mission, Su Yang took a look at the Gold-rank mission as well. The number of people affected by the Gold-tier mission had unknowingly increased to more than 21,000. He had actually completed one-fifth of the target of 100,000.

‘Looks like in a few months, my Gold mission could be completed.

‘I think it’s time for me to add points on the rest of the monsters. Even though the system was already+3, there are still monsters that are only +2.

‘Of course, there’s no hurry.

‘After all… it’s almost the 15th day of the month which is the reopening of the [Burning Reincarnation Circus]…’

On Thursday, Su Yang was woken up by Little Deeny’s scream.

He raised his head in confusion and saw a golden leopard the size of a tiger next to his bed.

The golden leopard was staring at him angrily, as if he had… done something to her.

When Su Yang woke up, the golden leopard howled and pounced on him.
