Chapter 613: Chapter 613: When a Whale Falls, All Life Thrives

Hearing He Wen’s words, Shen Lan was so excited she nearly sprayed out her coffee, then quickly pulled He Wen aside to sit on the couch.

"They actually stirred up such a big mess? But the news is tightly sealed off over there, how did you find out?"

He Wen said with some pride, "I only heard some noise in their fan group at first. Sis, do you remember? Before, when we were scouting for filming locations for ’Mountain Transformation,’ we ran to several places, and finally chose Chixia Village?"

"Yeah," Shen Lan recalled fondly. "Who in our company wasn’t running around outside every day, dealing with this or wining and dining that person?"

But thankfully, all that was in the past, and now their scale was growing increasingly impressive. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

He Wen continued, "They went to Xu Village, which was one of our other options! Remember when we discussed this place while filming the first season? The expert you invited also assessed the risk of mudslides, so we never finalized it. And wouldn’t you know it, they tried to cut corners and get the show on the platform faster by taking our plan, and then, unluckily, they just started filming and ran into it."

Shen Lan was partly surprised, partly moved.

It was as if in that moment, she remembered what Jiang Li had told her, assuring her she could hand the show over without regret, since the show’s fortune was exhausted.

She didn’t understand before, but now she found it chilling.

If they hadn’t let go of the show’s rights, they would be the ones in trouble now!

That girl Jiang Li was too incredible!

Shen Lan quickly regained her composure and grabbed He Wen’s hand, "Does someone over there still have the village chief’s previous contact information? Quick, get in touch with them again, no matter the cost. Since Chen’an doesn’t want this news getting out, we won’t let them have their way. How can we not take advantage of such a great opportunity?"

A whale falls and countless lifeforms flourish.

It was time for those under Xingmei Entertainment, now a fallen giant, to get a taste of the spoils!

The residents of Xu Village were already disgruntled with the show’s crew, so when He Wen offered to help them this time, the village chief didn’t hesitate to agree, even volunteering for an interview.

That very night, the news department of Xingmei Entertainment stayed up all night, and before ten o’clock, they unleashed the big news on Weibo, causing an immediate sensation.

[??? How can Chen’an not give an explanation for such a big incident???]

[Actress Zhou was seriously injured? What’s going on with the company? And they even hid the news!]

[This is outrageous, I’m shaking with anger; Chen’an must provide an explanation!]

[Fam, don’t bother with Chen’an, the biggest shareholder of Chen’an is the Shang Family, let’s look for the merchant’s people.]

[Aside from the main topic here, why has the Shang Family been exposed to so many negative stories lately? Did they offend someone?]

[They are top-tier capitalists; who can they offend? They’re just too arrogant, and their fortunes have come to an end.]

When Shen Ruobing saw the news at home, she fainted again, waking up looking ten years aged, as if all her energy had been drained.

"Zhenhe, what do we do now?"

Shang Zhenhe was also looking defeated. He had tried everything he could think of in the past few days, called everyone possible, but people were too afraid to even pick up, let alone offer a helping hand. Eventually, he couldn’t even make outgoing calls.

They didn’t even dare to step out of their villa with journalists swarming outside; they’d reached the point of having nothing left to consume but porridge.

"Where’s Shaojing? Still can’t get in touch?"

Shen Ruobing shook her head, "Their island has no equipment, the production team said they could arrange a video call, but it would breach the contract, and they want us to compensate for damages. Where can we get the money now?"

Shang Zhenhe grabbed a handful of his hair, looking withered.

"I’ll contact Shaobai, see if he has any ideas."

After calling three times, Shang Shaobai’s somewhat helpless voice came through.

"Dad... I’ve run out of options too, I’m currently holed up in the apartment and literally can’t go out, all the show and freighter stuff, it’s my brother managing, I can’t get through to his people, can’t get a hold of anything, I really... I still have ten thousand yuan in my WeChat account, take it for emergencies."

At that point, Shang Zhenhe really couldn’t say much else.

Over the years, he had always been wary of his eldest son, rarely entrusting him with company matters.

So, was this self-inflicted retribution?

Seeing Shang Zhenhe hang up, Shen Ruobing quickly got up and asked, "How is it? What did he say?"

Shang Zhenhe’s suppressed fury finally erupted, "Still your well-raised son! Always causing me trouble. If he hadn’t been busy trying to please that actress, would he have made such a big mess? In the end, he’s not even half as reliable as his brother! I never should have listened to you back then and handed the whole company over to him!"

Hearing this, Shen Ruobing was also full of rage, "So you still can’t forget that woman, can you?! Shang Zhenhe, don’t forget who helped you get to where you are today. Without the Shen Family, you’d be nothing, and you’re still pining for that country woman! She’s long dead! If it weren’t for my marital loyalty to you, I wouldn’t have kept her son here! I’ve been more than generous to you!"

"So you’re admitting to all those despicable things you did to Shaobai before? And after all that, you still expect him to come save you!"

"Shaobai is your son, isn’t Shaojing your son too?!"

The two of them quarreled fiercely until a knock on the door interrupted them.

Upon opening the door, they found several police officers in uniforms.

Seeing Shang Zhenhe inside, the leader directly showed his credentials, "We are from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, we’ve received a report that your company’s accounts are unclear and suspected of tax evasion; please come with us."

The husband and wife were dumbstruck.

Shen Ruobing, watching helplessly as her husband was taken away, sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

How did things turn out like this!

After hanging up, Shang Shaobai let out a cold laugh, carelessly tossing his phone along with the SIM card into the ice bucket in front of him.

In front of him was the night view of the Capital.

Shang Shaobai, wearing a black and grey robe, swirled his champagne, watching with interest as the lights of the Shang Family building dimmed one by one.

Twenty years.

He was finally able to reclaim, bit by bit, what Shang Zhenhe owed him and his mother.

He wondered whether that old man would feel a speck of guilt when he met his mother in the Netherworld.

The assistant came in, knocking at the door, and topped his glass with some new wine, "President Shang, everything is arranged overseas, when shall we depart?"

"No rush," Shang Shaobai’s eyes darkened, "My dear beloved brother hasn’t come back yet. I’ve gone to the trouble of putting up such a big show, how can I not see the main character’s reaction?"

He was looking forward to it.
