Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Life Imprisonment as the Starting Point

The production team acted quickly, replacing one damaged drone with another in no time.

The previously disconnected livestream reconnected, filling up with anxious messages from the viewers.

[What’s going on, what’s the situation now?]

[Wow, the production team is pretty fast, they got a new one up so quickly.]

[How’s Brother Gu Yu doing? My Crown Prince didn’t get hurt, right? If something really happened, I swear, I’m going to fight the production team.]

[Calm down, if something had really happened to Gu Yu, the Gu Family would’ve dealt with it before we even found out.]

The image gradually became clear, and Zhao Lang appeared on the camera, looking untroubled.

He sat on a stone, resting with his eyes closed, completely still.

[? Where are the others?]

[Right, why is it only the Crown Prince there now?]

[Did Truth or Dare turn into hide and seek?]

As the camera panned, the next moment, the Lu Brothers appeared on the screen, lying on the ground, barely alive.

Before the audience could react, Pei Ye, who had disappeared, also appeared.

He held a mushroom in his hand and, seemingly unsurprised by the scene, continued to look expressionlessly at Zhao Lang.

"Young Master, are you hurt?"

Zhao Lang slowly opened his eyes and shook his head, "I’m not."

But then he spotted the new drone, fell silent for a few seconds, and got up from the stone, limping towards Pei Ye.

"Pei Ye, it’s good you’re back. You wouldn’t believe it, right after you left, these two actually tried to ambush me. Luckily, I reacted fast enough. They were unlucky, trying to hit me, but ended up knocking their fists together like that, it was terrifying."

Pei Ye: ? Didn’t the Young Master realize long ago that they were up to no good?

Audience: ? Are you listening to what you’re saying?

They think we were blind during the earlier one-against-four!

Worried that Pei Ye might blurt out something disastrous, Zhao Lang quickly made faces at him behind the camera.

Fortunately, although Pei Ye was a bit slow to react, he was quick-witted, and the next moment he deliberately spoke loudly:

"Ah, Young Master, to think you encountered such danger! I will never leave your side again, I will stay close and protect you, don’t worry, I’ll take care of these two properly."

Zhao Lang: "......"

He really needed to send Pei Ye to an acting class when they got back.

Who talks about such dramatic things with a blank expression?!

[Hahahaha I’m dying, Nanny Pei is too funny.]

[Hahahaha are these two performing a comedy duo act?]

[It’s great, the richest grandson doing a performance for me, you can’t see this kind of plot even in your dreams.]

Even though He Pingzhang seemed to have some differences with Zhao Lang, he still took action when it threatened someone’s safety and immediately sent staff to capture the two.

After being tied up and thrown onto the deck, the Lu Brothers were still not content.

When He Pingzhang appeared before them, the indignation on their faces intensified.

"Why did you tie us up?"

"Exactly," said Lu Hu, "even if we laid hands on a guest, isn’t that allowed by the rules? What right do you have to tie us up?!"

He Pingzhang sat down on a stool brought by the staff, smiling as he looked at the two men.

"Gentlemen, no hurry, take a look at this first."

The assistant director, with a stern face, brought out a tablet. On its screen, a video was playing showing three people scuffling and tugging at each other. Due to the skewed camera angle and the distance, it was impossible to distinguish even their genders, let alone their identities. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Lu Hu scoffed disdainfully, "What are you showing us, this blurred mess?"

Fortunately, when they had attacked Bai Lu, they had avoided the cameras, no matter how much the show crew tried, they couldn’t find any substantial evidence.

He Pingzhang’s eyes narrowed even further, "Don’t rush, do you know what Sheng’an Technology, the sponsors of our show, do? Not only are they good at developing products, but their image restoration technology is even more impressive."

As he spoke, He Pingzhang raised his hand, and the assistant director transformed the screen display—suddenly, a much clearer video appeared.

As the camera zoomed in bit by bit, the faces of the two brothers became clearly visible on the screen.

Instantly, both of their faces went pale.

He Pingzhang clicked his tongue, "Sexual harassment, attempted rape, and on top of that, intentional injury—how many years do you think these charges would get you?"

The two were stunned and then collapsed to the ground.

All their earlier arrogance and imperiousness had vanished; Lu Hu’s face was full of panic as he clasped his hands towards He Pingzhang, apologizing.

"We were wrong, Director, we will never dare again, please spare us this one time."

He Pingzhang smiled briefly, "Why are you apologizing to me? If you are that sincere, why not apologize to the victim?"

"This..." Lu Long wore a troubled expression.

Lu Hu quickly took over, "We can, we can apologize to Miss Bai, to Mr. Gu—please, don’t call the police. Look, your program is really popular right now, if you involve the police and there’s an incident, it would affect your ratings as well."

He Pingzhang gently shook his head, "You are quite clever, but since you are so smart, do you know who the Gu Yu you schemed against today really is?"

Lu Hu looked at him blankly.

How could he know who the other person was?

Just a pretty boy kept by someone?

Could it be some big shot in the production team is keeping the pretty boy?

Though he had this suspicion, Lu Hu dared not voice it.

He Pingzhang bent down, a rare action for him, and opened his eyes wide to stare intently at him.

"I forgot to tell you earlier, the organizers of our program, Chang’an Media, and the investors, Sheng’an Media, are all subsidiaries of the Gu Group, which belongs to Gu Yu."

"What?!"

Both men were immediately taken aback.

The pretty boy actually had such a powerful backing?

How could that be?

The opponent is actually the head of the Gu Group?

Had they not just courted a monumental disaster?

Both men turned pale as ghosts, genuinely terrified now.

Though they were from rural backgrounds, they knew well enough the measures that rich people from Capital could take, let alone someone as wealthy as this.

However, He Pingzhang was too lazy to listen to their explanations and simply waved someone over.

"Take these two, lock them up on the boat, and bring them ashore. I have already contacted the lawyers of the Gu family, who will come to take them. You all don’t need to worry about the rest."

"Yes."

"Director, please, we truly realize our mistake."

"Please, Director, don’t call the police—we can work like oxen for you—"

The assistant director, watching the two being dragged away, shook his head as if he had already seen the dire outcome awaiting them.

With the lawyers from the Gu Family involved, they might as well brace for life imprisonment as a starting point.
