Jiang Jingchen looked at Mi Qing’s car and sneered.
“She can run, but she can’t hide.”
After driving back to the hotel, he asked Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi to rest at the hotel but Ruan Qi refused to get out of the car. She wanted to go with them to find Song Zhou.
“You don’t look well. It’s best if you rest. We are not going to wait on you hand and foot if you fall sick.” Jiang Jingchen lectured her with a cold face.
Ruan Qi also did not know what was wrong with her. She felt nauseous and uncomfortable all over. Her legs were so weak that she felt dizzy just standing.
Tang Beibei was worried. “Are you like this because you haven’t acclimatized to the environment?”
Ruan Qi saw Jiang Jingchen’s long and scary face and didn’t want to add to their burden, so she went to the hotel to rest.
Jiang Jingchen also asked Tang Beibei to rest early. He would go out and continue the search for Song Zhou.
Tang Beibei hugged him worriedly. “Promise me you’ll be careful. If you go missing too, I’ll cry.”
Jiang Jingchen laughed in amusement. He lifted her chin and kissed her lips. “What are you thinking? How can I bear to leave you behind? Be good, Obedient Beibei. If you feel unwell due to lack of acclimatization, I won’t feel good either.”
Tang Beibei was also worried about Song Zhou’s situation and didn’t want to get in the way. She went to bed obediently, but she kept her phone close.
Jiang Jingchen closed the door and said to Ji Yi, “Get two people here to protect my wife.”
“Yes.”
Ji Yi called someone over and followed Jiang Jingchen out of the hotel.
He said, “I’ve sent someone to Mi Qing’s apartment. She hasn’t gone home. We’re looking for her car now but we haven’t located it.”
“Which entertainment company is managing Mi Qing? Ask the CEO of that company to see me. Mi Qing dared to escape, then I shall ruin her career!”
Ji Yi immediately contacted the CEO of the entertainment company.
Song Zhou had invested in many entertainment companies for Mi Qing. He was a major shareholder in most of them and kept a close eye on these companies when he was in M-Country. However, after he followed Jiang Jingchen back to capital city, he hadn’t watched these companies as closely as before.
When they arrived at the offices of the entertainment company that managed Mi Qing, Jiang Jingchen went straight up to the CEO’s office. The CEO greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Chen, what can I do for you?”
Jiang Jingchen didn’t stop walking as he said, “Use whatever means you have to smear Mi Qing on the internet. I want her to get in touch with you as soon as possible.”
Jiang Jingchen walked to the office chair behind the desk and sat down. He crossed his long legs as if he was sitting in his own office, very casual and natural.
The CEO was in a predicament. “Mi Qing has always been an artiste that the company wanted to nurture. The chairman is also very supportive of her. You are asking us to destroy her…”
Jiang Jingchen glanced at him nonchalantly and said in an apathetic tone, “If I don’t destroy Mi Qing, shall I destroy you?”
The CEO was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly nodded.
“I’ll get someone to do it now.”
Jiang Jingchen knocked on the table as he said, “Contact Mi Qing’s agent and find Mi Qing through her.”
Ji Yi immediately found the CEO and asked him about Mi Qing’s manager.
Negative news about Mi Qing was released and the entire internet was talking about it.
In just ten minutes, everyone knew about it.
The news said that she was a third- or fourth-tier artiste, who had acquired all kinds of bad habits. She always acted like a diva and had several men in a night… Regardless of whether she did those things, these were just factoids to slander her.
Mi Qing’s manager still wanted to protect her and asked the company to issue a statement that they would send a lawyer’s letter to those who spread rumors.
However, she was told that the news was secretly spread by the company itself.
Who else would have the guts to reveal such information without any evidence?
Mi Qing’s manager was shocked. She had been called to the CEO’s office and ordered to contact Mi Qing.
The CEO said, “Contact Mi Qing and tell her that you are trying to find ways to help her, but you must see her in person. If you don’t do this well, you can also kiss your career goodbye.”
Mi Qing’s manager was afraid and quickly called her.
The call went through. The manager asked Mi Qing where she was, but Mi Qing didn’t answer and asked her what she wanted instead.
The manager asked her if she knew about the news on the internet.
“What news on the internet?”
“Take a look at the comments about you online first, then we’ll talk.”
News about Mi Qing was trending now, so it wasn’t difficult to find the comments. After a few minutes, the manager heard Mi Qing’s angry scolding. “Which b*stard is slandering me? I’m going to send them a lawyer’s letter!”
The manager said, “Alright, I’ll go with you to the company office and ask the company to think of a countermeasure for you. Where are you? Do you need me to pick you up?”
“No need, I’ll go over myself.”
“Then be careful on your way there. I’ll wait for you at the office.”
When Mi Qing’s manager heard her hang up the phone, she looked at the man behind the desk in fear.
Even the company CEO looked at him cautiously. She was just a nobody, so she did not dare to provoke him.
“Get the security guards to wait for her. When she arrives…”
Jiang Jingchen thought for a few seconds, and said on a whim, “Put a bag over her head and beat her up first.”
“… Okay.”
The CEO did not dare to refute and respectfully went to set things up.
Mi Qing cared about her career very much. Someone had ruined her reputation. She was furious and rushed to the company.
When she arrived at the lobby of the office building and entered the elevator, a few men walked in with her. She didn’t pay much attention to them and pressed the button for her floor. The moment the elevator doors closed, her vision went black.
She screamed in horror, and her mouth was instantly covered by someone.
Punches landed on her body and she cried out in pain.
Her stomach was kicked a few times and her arm was almost broken. Just when she thought that she would be beaten to death, the elevator doors opened with a ding. The beating ended and everything became quiet around her.
Mi Qing quickly removed the black plastic bag over her head, clutched her stomach and cried out in pain.
She was all alone in the elevator. She kicked the elevator angrily and realized that someone was harming her on purpose.
She walked out of the elevator and looked for the company CEO.
She was Song Zhou’s woman. The CEO of the company had always been very respectful to her. He would definitely avenge her if something happened to her.
She walked into the CEO’s office and saw that the chair behind the desk was facing away from her. She cursed angrily, “Someone slandered me online and even beat me up in the elevator. How dare they do that? You must help me punish those people.”
“Punish who?”
The office chair turned around. When Mi Qing saw Jiang Jingchen’s face, she widened her eyes in horror and turned to escape.
Ji Yi opened the door, walked in, and kicked her to the ground.
“Trying to escape again?”
“Mi Qing, didn’t I remind you to be obedient?”
Mi Qing retreated in fear and saw the CEO and her manager walking in.
“Save me, John. I’m being bullied. You must help me.”
The CEO, John, stood still and Mi Qing’s manager looked at her sympathetically but didn’t dare to move.
She had no idea who this Mr. Chen was before, but after hearing from the CEO, she learned that Mr. Chen was the person in charge of CJ and the original boss of the company.
He was the one who transferred the shares to Song Zhou and made Song Zhou the chairman.
Song Zhou managed the company for a while before he handed it over to the current CEO.
Mi Qing’s manager said, “We can’t save you. It’s best if you cooperate with them..”
