Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Big Trouble, Incoming Call

The program team originally wanted to help report it to the police. Now that the evidence is complete, Chen Cheng made a profit of two hundred thousand from Leng Yuan’s work. After reporting, they could completely recover this two hundred thousand, or even impose a multiple fine.

But Leng Yuan shook her head and declined gently.

Not to mention two hundred thousand, even two million would be nothing but a drop in the bucket for the Chen Family.

Even Chen Cheng could easily come up with it himself.

But if she took this money, it would mean that for the loss of some pocket money, Chen Cheng could just get away with the plagiarism of "Green Plums".

She would rather not take the money and nail Chen Cheng with the disgraceful title of a plagiarist of "Green Plums".

There were people present who didn’t understand this, and Qian Yaya was one of them.

"Why not report it to the police to get the money back? Wouldn’t she need this money more now?"

"She wants to keep something more important than the money. Moreover," Jiang Lingxi paused and softened her voice, "Think about it. If everyone, after watching this episode, then learned that Leng Yuan got more money from the plagiarist than the work itself is worth, what would they think?"

Qian Yaya lowered her head and pondered seriously for a moment before hesitantly saying, "They probably wouldn’t feel as angry, right?"

Leng Yuan was miserable, but after all, jumping off a building was her own choice. While everyone sympathized with her, unless one personally experiences such things, it’s difficult to understand why she would despair to the point of jumping.

How many people in the world share the same experience anyway.

More often than not, people choose to be mere bystanders.

With a swollen face like a pig’s head, Chen Cheng proposed to leave early. Moreover, since neither the Leng Family father and daughter planned to report it to the police, the program team naturally couldn’t forcibly detain him.

The phones that were collected earlier were returned to their owners.

Feeling the overwhelmingly intense gaze from not far away, Chen Cheng, sweating coldly, quickly turned on his phone to call his bodyguard, instructing them to come quickly to protect him.

The second call he made was to his older brother,

Although his head was still spinning from being beaten, he instinctively felt that things were not going well.

He feared that he couldn’t handle it on his own, so he could only seek help from his more capable brother.

Ignoring the fact that there were others around, he sobbed into his phone once it was answered, "Brother, save me, and help me!"

Chen Rui, who was vacationing by the seaside with his little girlfriend: "... What’s going on, why do you sound so muffled, kidnapped?"

"Worse than kidnapped," Feeling the disdainful gazes from those around him, Chen Cheng inwardly resented as he lowered his voice, "Brother, I’m in big trouble this time. If you don’t come back, your brother will be utterly ruined!"

"Is it that serious?" Chen Rui frowned, sat up from his deck chair, "Exactly what happened?"

"It’s not convenient to say now. In short, come back quickly to help me. I beg you, brother, it’s really serious this time!"

Lin Nuo mentioned that he had the studio staff sign contracts as indentures, which he indeed did, but he mustn’t let this slip from his mouth publicly. Even though his mind was foggy now, he hadn’t forgotten this point.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Rui maintained his posture, sitting there for a few more seconds until a soft, boneless hand climbed upon him.

"Who called?"

Normally, Chen Rui would embrace her readily, but now, annoyed by his younger brother’s call, he removed her hand moving toward his chest, "My younger brother."

"Your younger brother, you mean Chen Cheng, right? I remember his name was Chen Cheng?" Seeing Chen Rui’s somewhat moody demeanor, Lin Xuefei wisely withdrew her hand.

Her ability to stay by Chen Rui’s side for such a long time, with prospects of an even closer relationship, was due to her attentiveness and tact!

"Did he get into trouble?"

Chen Rui shook his head with a frown, "He didn’t make it clear over the phone. It sounded serious."

"Since he could call, he should be safe. As long as he’s fine, it isn’t too serious."

This comfort proved somewhat effective, as Chen Rui’s expression visibly eased, "I suppose so, I’ll still go back to check, judging from his tone, there might actually be something he can’t handle."

Chen Rui was quite attentive to his only younger brother.

Especially since this kid wasn’t keen on competing with him for the Chen Group, focusing solely on his painting and calligraphy studio, insisting on creating an artistic image despite lacking artistic talent.

Just like his little girlfriend, knowledgeable and tactful.

So as the older brother, Chen Rui didn’t mind being a bit more caring toward his only younger brother.

Lin Xuefei was admittedly a bit reluctant, currently facing a work stoppage; she finally seized a chance to relax, instead of sulking at home over others’ opportunities. She couldn’t enjoy a few days of leisure before having to head back!

But seeing Chen Rui already heading toward their accommodation, she quickly stood up and followed after.

Watching as Chen Cheng was escorted away by several bodyguards in sunglasses and suits, people silently retracted their gazes.

There was a pent-up air in their chests.

For now, they could only silently hope that the show could be broadcast successfully on schedule, exposing someone’s misdeeds entirely, wondering how anyone could be so brazen after doing so much harm just for personal gain!

Lin Nuo and Leng Yuan exchanged a glance after retracting their gazes.

Both appeared calmer than others.

Long before planning to expose Chen Cheng’s true colors, they had already considered numerous possibilities and corresponding outcomes.

"I’ve done all I can."

"Hmm, go back and rest well; leave the rest to me."

"I’ll have my dad help monitor the online trends and wait for good news."

"Okay."

By now, it was almost noon, and Chen Weiwen announced after checking the time to continue recording after the lunch break.

It was also to give everyone more time to adjust their emotions, as the show nevertheless needed to be finished recording to be edited and aired.

He felt he needed to calm down as well.

Initially, he thought Lin Nuo just wanted to clear his name, not expecting the kid to reveal such a significant issue.

The show ran smoothly until now, and finally, it was the director’s turn to stress!

The Leng Family father and daughter, however, did not stay.

Leng Yuan’s diet now had to strictly follow her doctor’s prescribed schedule, so even though the crew wanted to invite them for a meal, they couldn’t immediately provide food suitable for Leng Yuan.

As everyone headed to the cafeteria, Lin Nuo and Arlene went to see off Leng Yuan and her father.

During their farewell, Leng Yuan suddenly spoke, "Once the program airs, the judges from the Youth Painting and Calligraphy Competition should reassess your ’Under the Moonlight’."

Lin Nuo smiled, "Although I no longer care about the competition’s prize, I’m still happy to clear my name."

"No rush, take it slow. Once this passes, with your talent, you will inevitably find your place in the painting and calligraphy world."

"Then I’ll take that as a blessing. Don’t worry, I’ve waited this long, I won’t get impatient."

But at this moment, there was someone particularly anxious.

In the hallway leading to the cafeteria.

Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing happened to be behind Zhang Nachuan and Li Wanxuan.

As everyone was about to enter, a phone ringing, clearly not popular among young people nowadays, suddenly sounded.

Zhang Nachuan took out his phone, squinted at the caller ID, and suddenly stopped.

When he stopped, Li Wanxuan also came to a halt.

Those following naturally stopped as well.

After stopping, Jiang Lingxi glanced at the phone in Zhang Nachuan’s hand, turned around, and reached out to Xu Ling’an following behind, "Hand it over!"
