Although no one could prove that Annie had started the scandal, everyone knew, without a doubt, it was her.
Tangning asked Long Jie to investigate the matter through her small channels of contact. As a result, Long Jie came back to her with news that Annie had been overly intimate with a new entertainment agency boss. In fact, they were spotted booking a hotel room together!
"I asked a friend to try and get information from this President Wang. Give me one night and I'll get back to you," Long Jie updated.
"When someone that is newly rich decides to open an agency, they only have one motive: they're trying to go to any lengths to sleep with as many greedy new stars as possible. They can gain both sex and profits, you know what I mean?" Tangning said with a deeper meaning. "Deal with this quietly. The best outcome is for you to get some evidence in your hands."
"Understood," Long Jie replied; the excitement in her voice was hard to hide. It had been a long time since she had exercised her abilities in the entertainment industry.
When it came to someone like Director Wang, Tangning did not need to make a personal appearance. But, she could definitely meet with the director of 'The Savage Wars'.
"Can you help me make an appointment with the American director? I have a few questions to ask him."
"That's fine," Long Jie agreed.
After going through so many ups and downs with Tangning, she had already become accustomed to her methods. Whenever Tangning made an appearance, the opponent was down on their luck.
...
An Zihao did not have a team of people that he worked with, so the exposure this time pointed out negative points about him, yet he had no one to help him with PR.
In regards to Director Chen Feng, An Zihao had already tried to explain himself to him. But, the director clearly told him that if he didn't find a way to clean up this scandal, then he should just give up his role as assistant director. An Zihao was a man of dignity, so he promised the director that he'd give him a satisfactory outcome.
When he thought about the scandal, he had to admit that he wasn't cautious enough. At a time like this, he should have known that one wrong move could completely destroy him, yet he spoiled Chen Xingyan and made a big mistake.
Thinking of Chen Xingyan, he remembered that he had not explained the situation clearly to her that morning. According to her temper, what troubles could she have possibly created today?
Because he was worried, An Zihao decided not to head straight home. Instead, he headed to Chen Xingyan's apartment. But, as he stepped out of the lift, he noticed that the front door was left unlocked.
An Zihao immediately opened the door and rushed in. Inside, he found Chen Xingyan lying on the floor covered in a smelly liquid twitching in anger.
An Zihao was shocked as he ran over to help her off the floor. But, Chen Xingyan suddenly screamed, "I am going to kill Annie!"
"What happened?" An Zihao asked as he noticed there were obvious injuries on her face and neck.
Chen Xingyan loosened herself from An Zihao and pushed him away, "It's none of your business! Just tell me where Annie is!"
The answer to An Zihao's question was clear. He could roughly guess what had happened while he was gone.
Seeing that Chen Xingyan looked ready to destroy everything in her path, An Zihao wondered what kind of suffering she had gone through to get to this point.
As he looked at the floor, he realized the liquid stunk of urine...
An Zihao couldn't imagine what Annie must have done.
"Tell me where she is!"
"Calm down, getting angry won't change a thing. In fact, it will cause you more troubles," An Zihao hugged Chen Xingyan tightly.
"I don't care!"
"I care!" An Zihao yelled. "Just endure it for now, I will make Annie pay for what she has done - a hundred, no, a thousand-fold!"
