Chapter 331: Chapter 331: The Qin Family’s Downfall

Qin Manxiang probably never anticipated the day she’d capsize in the gutter.

After all, each time she caused trouble, Qin Chengde would clean up after her meticulously.

As time went on, she became less cautious, simply storing the photos on her phone with a basic lock.

She was convinced no one would dare to browse through her phone’s gallery.

Yet she never expected to take a fall because of Shen Yanhe.

Shen Yanhe, looking at those unsightly photos, felt a growing chill in her brows and eyes the more she looked.

The young man sitting on the sofa couldn’t help but scoot further away.

Her presence was too imposing.

It was suffocating him.

Shen Yanhe did not return Qin Manxiang’s phone to her; she held it in her hand, turned her head to the young man, and asked, "What’s your name?"

The young man was startled for a moment, then spoke hesitantly, "My name is Jiang Ding."

"Jiang Ding, huh? You can leave now. I hope you won’t speak of what happened here today," Shen Yanhe said softly, "Rest assured, I will delete the photos of you from Qin Manxiang’s phone."

"Qin Manxiang will pay a price as well."

Jiang Ding’s eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "I won’t speak of it, thank you for helping me, sister."

He didn’t delay any further, hurriedly getting off the sofa, picking up the battered phone from the coffee table, and swiftly escaping the villa.

After he left, Shen Yanhe took out her phone, instinctively wanting to call Feng Jiao to send someone over to deal with it.

For some reason, she remembered what Fu Yanhe told her before, to inform him immediately if anything happened.

Shen Yanhe hesitated for a moment, then dialed Fu Yanhe’s number, "Yanhe, there’s something I’d like to ask for your help with..."

-

Meanwhile.

In the CEO’s office of Jinding Entertainment.

Qin Chengde glanced at the time and asked his assistant, "It’s already six in the afternoon, hasn’t Manxiang called yet? Didn’t she say she was coming back to Jingcheng tonight?"

It had been two hours since that nobody called Shen Yanhe was sent over.

Manxiang should have cooled off by now.

Why hadn’t she called him?

The assistant took out his phone, "Let me call the young miss to check."

Before the assistant could dial, the office door was violently kicked open from the outside.

The door slammed heavily against the wall, creating a loud noise, startling Qin Chengde and his assistant.

They instinctively looked over, as numerous men clad in black combat gear surged in through the doorway.

Qin Chengde felt a pang of anxiety and stood up, frowning as he questioned, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The lead man gave him a cold glance and said, "Take them away."

Several men immediately stepped forward, grabbed Qin Chengde and his assistant’s wrists, twisted them behind their backs, and escorted them out.

Qin Chengde struggled fiercely, "It’s illegal to detain people arbitrarily! Let me go!"

What the hell was going on?

Why were these people arresting him?

The lead man didn’t even spare him a glance and said coldly, "Take him to the police station."

At the same time, scandals about Jinding Entertainment exploded across the internet.

Tax evasion, suspected smuggling of gray market products, signing dual contracts with artists, and so on.

At the same time, the matter of Qin Manxiang abusing artists from Jinding Entertainment was also exposed, with statements from artists who retired due to her torment.

These various accusations shocked countless netizens.

[Holy crap, did Jinding Entertainment commit half of the criminal law book or what? 666.]

[I saw Qin Manxiang on a variety show before, and I thought she was just a spoiled rich girl, but I had no idea she did so many insane things in private!]

[Qin Manxiang, go die, I’m not joking.]

[Qin Manxiang_Obituary].JPG, I’ve already prepared it for her.]

[Wuwuwuwu, my sister, I was confused as to why she suddenly retired, but it turns out she was abused by Qin Manxiang, my heart aches for my sister.]

[Qin Manxiang and her family should drop dead tonight!]

Qin Manxiang had previously made liberal use of public opinion to ruin artists she disliked, and today, public opinion had finally turned on her.

When Qin Manxiang came to in the interrogation room, she found a video of her abusing artists playing on the computer. She blacked out and passed out again.

Before fainting, only two words filled her mind.

Finished.

Absolutely finished.

Wang Hao had been thinking about how to trick Qi Zeyi into Qin Manxiang’s bed, but before he could take any action, his company was completely exposed.

Watching the trending topics soar, his hands trembled as he clutched his phone, his forehead breaking out in a dense sweat, terrified to his core.

Fearful the police would trace it back to him.

After all, over the years he had delivered artists to Qin Manxiang in an attempt to please her, he was an accomplice.

Wang Hao didn’t want to sit around and wait for the end, so he hurriedly packed his clothes, booked the nearest flight to America, and was about to drive to the airport.

No sooner had he driven out of the garage than several black sedans blocked his way at the gate.

Seeing the men step out of the sedans, Wang Hao broke into a cold sweat and slumped in his seat in utter despair.

He was finished!

Elsewhere.

Qi Zeyi was in a mall picking out gifts when he picked up a stuffed toy, and his phone started ringing.

He answered the call, "Hello?"

"Zeyi, you have to check the trending searches! Jinding Entertainment is done for!" His friend’s excited voice came through.

Qi Zeyi’s brows furrowed slightly. Without hanging up, he opened the browser to take a look.

He immediately saw the entry for #JindingEntertainmentTaxEvasion#.

Beneath that were criminal allegations involving the Jinding Entertainment board members.

And there was news of Qin Manxiang’s arrest.

Qi Zeyi asked his friend with some surprise, "What’s going on?"

It had only been a mere two days.

Had Jinding Entertainment Group really collapsed?

That quickly... it was just too fast.

"I’m not clear on the details either, but I guess they must have unwittingly offended someone powerful," his friend said gleefully, "After all, that Qin Manxiang was so arrogant, treating all the artists in the entertainment circle like her own dogs."

"I’m not at all surprised she’d provoke someone powerful, and right now I’m truly thankful to that person for removing a tumor from the entertainment industry."

Qi Zeyi thought of Fu Yanhe and Shen Yanhe for no apparent reason.

Qin Manxiang had been unkind to Shen Yanhe on the variety show before.

She probably wouldn’t have let her off after they left the show.

She wouldn’t have done something to her, would she?

"With Jinding Entertainment Group gone, your contract is void, Zeyi. What are your plans now?"

His friend paused, then tentatively asked, "Do you want to sign with our company? We’ll treat you quite generously."

Qi Zeyi looked down at the stuffed toy in his hand: "We’ll talk about it later."

He thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you know what gifts girls generally like?"

Qi Zeyi knew that Shen Yanhe had recognized him.

It was back in the first episode of the variety show, when she brought him barbecued meat and coconuts.
