Wu Yue wiped the blood froth from the corner of his mouth and struggled to his feet. He wordlessly stared at Wang Pingjin for a while, then walked away without looking back.
In an instant, Wang Pingjin was left alone in the huge company.
Memories of the past suddenly flashed through his mind: the young Taoist priest, the young mistress who came to Li Lanhong's rescue, Feng Chengyuan who agreed to lend him money, and Hu Youni who instigated his divorce...
As all these events connected in his mind, Wang Pingjin suddenly let out a roar: "Damn it! I'm going to kill you all!"
He roared feebly as he swept the complete sets of porcelain and stacks of documents to the ground.
A soft buzzing sound came from his phone, and a Weibo post was automatically pushed.
A second - tier sexy actress he had once followed posted a nine - grid photo: "The filming of *Shadow* has successfully wrapped up. Thank you all for your long - term support! These are the photos taken during the filming. Looking forward to seeing you next time!"
The actress was quite popular. In just one minute, there were a large number of comments.
[You're so beautiful, sister! Wish the movie a great box - office success!]
[Isn't the person in the middle Master Yu? Is she also in the movie?]
[Damn it, it really is that bitch Yu!]
[Sister, please urge the Taoist temple master for us paranormal fans. Ask her to do a live ghost - catching show soon!]
...
Wang Pingjin glanced roughly at the comments, then his gaze lingered on the photo in the middle for a long time.
He slowly read out the name in the comment: "... Yu Nian?"
Wang Pingjin was stunned for a moment, and a deep hatred flashed in his eyes.
Great. Even God was on his side. He must take back everything that belonged to him. Even if he had to bet his future and property, he would make Yu Nian, that bitch, suffer worse than death!
Early the next morning, He Zhiping was woken up by several phone calls. He answered impatiently, then his eyes suddenly widened. He rushed out in his pajamas.
In the dining hall of the Taoist temple, Yu Nian was sipping porridge. Ming Mingzhong came out of the backyard with A Si in his arms and said to He Zhiping, "We've saved a portion of breakfast for you."
Seeing them so leisurely, He Zhiping felt a headache coming on.
"Yu Nian! It's bad! That bastard Wang Pingjin has turned against you. He's bought a large number of press releases saying that you scammed his money, seduced him, and caused his family to fall apart. He's even doing a live broadcast to scold you! Now the topic about you has topped the trending list, and entertainment reporters have almost blown up my phone!"
Yu Nian looked up at the trending list and smiled faintly. "I know. Come and have breakfast quickly. The porridge will get cold."
He Zhiping was completely dumbfounded. "This is such a big problem. How can you be so calm?"
There was a hint of mockery in Yu Nian's black pupils. "It's an overestimation to describe Wang Pingjin as a problem."
She gracefully tapped on the Weibo live - broadcast room. On the screen, Wang Pingjin and Li Lanhong looked haggard as they hysterically accused her of "crimes": "Yu Nian is a cancer in the entertainment industry. She's a slut who sleeps with men for favors! She not only relies on powerful backers and uses sexual favors to get ahead but also deceived my feelings and coaxed me into divorcing my wife! This shameless and immoral woman, everyone must see her true face! Seek justice for my son and me!"
Next to Wang Pingjin sat a middle - aged man with a square face. He had an extraordinary air and a serious expression. "This matter is indeed very serious. It's not only a moral issue but also a fraud case!" He picked up his teacup and took a sip. A dark light flashed in his eyes. "If we really pursue this, Yu Nian should compensate Mr. Wang 50 million yuan in mental damages."
He Zhiping leaned closer to the phone, and his face suddenly turned ugly. "Chen Guangsheng?"
Seeing Yu Nian's puzzled look, he explained, "He's a top - tier and highly authoritative lawyer in the country. He's participated in hundreds of lawsuits and has never lost. Wang Pingjin has really spared no expense this time by hiring him..."
With Chen Guangsheng's presence and Wang Pingjin's tearful accusation, a dense stream of bullet comments appeared.
[Damn it. That bitch Yu just can't change her ways, can she?]
[That bitch Yu is so disgusting. She should be banned immediately!]
[You're talking nonsense! As someone who has watched Yu Nian's live broadcasts, I think she has a nice personality.]
[I'm a paranormal fan of the Taoist temple master. I think there's something fishy about this!]
[Since Chen Guangsheng has spoken, that poisonous woman Yu has really gone too far this time, hasn't she?]
Wang Pingjin concealed the fierce look in his eyes. "You want evidence, right?"
The camera shifted, and a clear surveillance video appeared on the screen. The beautiful woman talking to Li Lanhong in the luxury store was none other than Yu Nian.
Then, in a dim private room, there was a secretly - taken side profile of Yu Nian.
Wang Pingjin gave a creepy smile. "What else do you have to say now?"
A clear vibration sound rang out. Someone had initiated a video link to his live - broadcast room.
After the video was connected, Yu Nian looked at Wang Pingjin with a half - smile. "Long time no see, Mr. Wang. Your ability to tell a story based on pictures is getting better and better."
The appearance of the protagonist quickly filled the live - broadcast room. Many onlookers emerged.
[Wow! This is so exciting. The protagonist has come to fight!]
[Yu Nian is so brave!]
[That bitch Yu must be getting impatient because she's guilty. Hahaha, a slut who sleeps with men for favors.]
The moment Wang Pingjin saw Yu Nian, his eyes darkened. He wished he could pull Yu Nian out of the live - broadcast screen and beat her up severely.
"Bitch! How dare you show your face in front of me? Tell me where Xiaoqian is right now, or I'll send you to jail!"
The moment Chen Guangsheng saw Yu Nian, he squinted his eyes. "Miss Yu, if you agree to compensate Mr. Wang for his mental damages, we may give you a chance to turn over a new leaf. I hope you don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
Yu Nian scoffed casually. "Mr. Wang really has a short memory. A few days ago, you were pestering me and calling me your sweetheart. Why are you calling me a bitch today?"
"You admit it!" Wang Pingjin suddenly stood up. "You're a money - grabbing mistress, a slut!"
A stream of offensive curses came one after another. Yu Nian slowly took out a recording pen from her pocket. After a faint current sound, Wang Pingjin's voice came through clearly.
"Gao Qian, are you fucking playing with me... Do you want to use this opportunity to tip someone off? I'll kill you right now. Let's see how you can tip anyone off!"
"My marriage with Gao Qian has long been a sham. Every time I see her face, I feel disgusted..."
"I'm really in love with you at first sight. I don't want us to miss each other! If you can give me a chance to pursue you, I'm willing to divorce that shrew at home!"
...
After the series of recordings ended, the whole process of the incident was perfectly restored.
Wang Pingjin's face instantly turned extremely ugly. The teacup in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. He flew into a rage. "I never said such things. This bitch synthesized the recording!"
"Whether it's synthesized or not, you know in your heart."
Chen Guangsheng's face darkened. He looked at Wang Pingjin beside him gloomily and whispered, "Why didn't you tell me she had a recording before I came? Now it's fine. Not only is she innocent, but you're also at risk of being sued for slander!"
Chen Guangsheng felt a bit regretful. He shouldn't have taken Wang Pingjin's huge sum of money to support him! But now that things had come to this, even if Yu Nian was innocent, he had to fight for his reputation and face!
"Miss Yu, this recording only proves that you didn't interfere in Mr. Wang's marriage. How do you explain the matter of you colluding with others to defraud Wang Pingjin's company of money?"
Wang Pingjin immediately came to his senses. "That's right! It was Yu Nian who scammed my money!"
Yu Nian narrowed her eyes. Her voice was cold but imposing. "Wang Pingjin, there are gods watching three feet above your head. By distorting the truth like this, you'll soon reap what you sow."
Wang Pingjin stared fixedly at Yu Nian's face. "You're talking nonsense!"
The next moment, the bullet comments suddenly started to flood the screen.
[Go and check Wu Yue's Weibo. There's a twist!]
