At that time, Tangning was still unaware that the so-called top class special effects technician was also a part of the brothers' tricks.
She only found out after Mo Ting explained the entire incident to her. It seemed, Han Jie had also been dragged down by his brother.
She couldn't let the two brothers continue to string her along and implicate her. Apart from attacking them psychologically, she had no other option. It wasn't like she could kill them!
So, that's how she came to think of their mother.
Hence, she gave Long Jie a phone call, "Can you locate their mother?"
"What are you thinking?"
"I want to give these brothers some 'treatment' for their illness! If we keep suppressing them, they will continue to retaliate. Especially since Han Xiuche doesn't care about his public image. I reckon, even if I'm completely destroyed, he still won't stop! So, at the same time that we drag him out, we also need to make a move on his mother!"
"I understand," Long Jie nodded before she went off to locate the two brothers' mother.
The trailers for 'The Ant Queen' had been released, the test screening was done and the release date was about to be confirmed, yet Han Xiuche was still clinging on. Although Tangning no longer had anything for people to slander her about, this was exactly the reason why Tangning was afraid that Han Xiuche would target the people around her instead.
So, everything was still dependent on Han Xiuche's mother!
Long Jie knew it was almost time to resolve the matter with the brothers, so she immediately started verifying the information they had. In the end, she received some reliable information.
The woman's surname was Su and she was currently in the industry as well. However, people never saw her because she was a voice dubbing artist that worked behind-the-scenes. Even after being in the industry for so long, Long Jie had never heard of her...
She thought the brother's hated the woman so much that they'd never let her off the hook. How was she still surviving in the industry?
Long Jie revealed the results of her investigation to Tangning and shared her curiosity with her, "I don't understand why these two brothers aren't attacking their cheating mother and targeting you instead."
"Let's go meet with this voice dubbing artist. Perhaps there's more to the story!" Tangning replied. "Help me make arrangements. I want to see her."
"OK, I'll try my best," Long Jie nodded.
Their mother cheated and their father caught her in bed with two men. News like that, was at most, just a small scandal in the entertainment industry, especially since the Han Family had been in the industry for a long time.
But, after that, their father remarried his secretary and they did not have another child. Meanwhile, their mother was never heard from again.
Because of his mother, Han Xiuche had a skewed personality. And unfortunately for Tangning, she happened to provoke this sensitive memory of his. To be honest, Tangning was quite wronged!
But, the weirdest thing was, when Long Jie went to arrange a meeting with Mother Han, she returned unsuccessful.
There was actually a person in the entertainment industry that could turn down Tangning!
Perhaps, this woman knew about the grudge between her sons and Tangning?
When Mo Ting found out that they were unsuccessful at meeting with the woman, he revealed another secret to Tangning, "It's not because of the brothers that she won't see you."
"She simply wants to avoid suspicion!"
"How do you know that?"
"A portion of the information that Long Jie gave you, was compiled by Lu Che. I asked Lu Che to dig deeper and he found more to the story," Mo Ting showed his findings to Tangning. "After this woman got a divorce with Father Han, she started following another man. In the end, she followed the same man for 20 years without asking to make their relationship official."
"Right now, the last thing she wants is to be tied to the two brothers."
"So, I have a feeling that another reason why Han Xiuche created such a huge drama was because he wanted to attract this woman's attention."
"Who is the man that she's currently with?"
"International martial arts superstar, Long Qingyun..."
"Why is it him?" This man was an old senior, so Tangning definitely knew of him.
She simply never imagined that there was such a complex relationship. So, when she asked Long Jie to look for the woman, it was indeed a bit intrusive. And when the woman refused to meet, it was because she was being cautious. But, did this mean she had to continue being entangled with the brothers.
As he looked at Tangning's helpless expression, Mo Ting patted her on the head and smiled, "What is it? Are you scared? Do you get scared as well?"
