Yu Junqing and Bo Rui didn’t stay at the police station long and would be heading home soon. With the evidence so solid—and thanks to Chen Guan-zhi’s godsend intervention, having regained his composure after his sister woke up—Xu Zong’s case was almost completely handled before Yu Junqing even had a chance to step in. Chen Guan-zhi had essentially taken over the matter.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Even though Xu Zong had been scheming against him for years, it didn’t compare to how close Chen Guan-zhi’s sister had come to being seriously harmed—or worse.
After all, Chen Guan-zhi was the vice president of Xingyu Entertainment. Compared to Xu Zong, just a manager, Chen’s network and influence were far greater. Before long, everything Xu Zong had done was exposed, including some of the company’s shady dealings.
The developments happened so fast it was almost unbelievable. Maybe it was because Chen Guan-zhi’s position made it hard for anyone to doubt what he revealed. In just a single day, a large number of Xingyu artists openly turned against Xu Zong, condemning the dark schemes he’d orchestrated. Even some who had no direct connection to him spoke out loudly, as if it would be a shame not to seize the moment to gain attention.
After this upheaval, Xingyu Entertainment’s reputation plummeted—utterly ruined. On top of that, although Chen Guan-zhi had been honest with the authorities, he chose to resign voluntarily.
Suddenly, the company lost a top-level manager, and many of Xu Zong’s contacts were rendered useless. Numerous people were now restless, planning to jump ship to other companies.
Some who had been hesitating about signing with Xingyu immediately switched to other agencies. And as for any artist currently associated with Xingyu? Their names now carried suspicion—people would wonder if they had been coerced or mistreated.
