After sending Shu Yimeng to the front desk, Sun Yanzhou and Le Bai went to the lounge specially prepared for Le Bai by the crew of [Hidden Moon by the Western River].

There was no one else present at this time, and Le Bai no longer concealed the venom on his face. He looked at Sun Yanzhou, full of dissatisfaction, and asked, “Why did you give the resources of the parent-child reality show to Lin Cheng?” 

And he actually even asked Lin Cheng to come to the Film and Television City!

Faced with Le Bai’s interrogation, Sun Yanzhou was very calm and sneered, “Didn’t you just steal his resources back then? So many years have already passed, and you are still so nervous about it?” 

Hearing this, Le Bai’s face changed. Instead of easing up, it got even darker. He said in a deep voice, “You know that’s not what happened.”

“What’s that?” Sun Yanzhou raised his eyebrows. “Back then, didn’t you find someone to put things in Lin Cheng’s drink, deliberately sent away his assistants and other staff, and then lured the improper fan into his hotel room? And, after all that, released the black information on the Internet?” 

Hearing Sun Yanzhou’s words, Le Bai’s face became anxious, and he suddenly jumped up from the sofa. He stood up and pointed at Sun Yanzhou and yelled, “You bastard! You lured me into doing those things!”

“Didn’t you also want to do it yourself?”

“I… if you hadn’t lured me, I wouldn’t have been able to…”

At the beginning, Le Bai did covet Lin Cheng’s traffic and resources, and he did a lot of things to injure Lin Cheng’s reputation behind the scenes, but he really didn’t have the ability to make Lin Cheng’s career go completely cold.

Until one day, a woman claiming to be surnamed Ye found Le Bai.

That woman gave him a large sum of money to cooperate with her to bring down Lin Cheng. The woman provided the drugs. The access card to Lin Cheng’s hotel room also came from her.

Under the inducement of the woman, Le Bai agreed to cooperate, and then pushed to create the ‘Lin Cheng x Fan’ scandal.

Afterwards, Le Bai had always felt strange about what happened. How did everything go so smoothly and not even one clue was discovered.

Until one day, he unexpectedly discovered that it was not him who did well at all: someone had been ‘helping’ behind the scenes, and he was just a pawn.

The woman who came to him actually first went to Sun Yanzhou. Sun Yanzhou didn’t want to expose himself so he told the woman to go to Le Bai. These two people used him. In his desire to replace Lin Cheng and become famous, they were able to manipulate him into doing those things.

“You also benefited from it, didn’t you?” Sun Yanzhou said calmly, interrupting Le Bai’s words.

“You’ve also taken other people’s money,” Sun Yanzhou added.

Lin Cheng was an artist under him at the time, and of course, in the beginning he didn’t want anything to happen to him. However, Ms. Ye found him, promised to give him a large sum of money and use her resources to help him climb up in the company and in the entertainment industry.

In the face of his own future, Sun Yanzhou chose to give up the artist in his hand.

Later, the two of them took advantage of Le Bai and completely left Lin Cheng in the cold.

Later, Sun Yanzhou followed Ms. Ye’s instructions and took away all of Lin Cheng’s resources. He kept suppressing Lin Cheng and arranged a useless agent for Lin Cheng. In this way, he neither made him famous nor did he become a celebrity. Just let him completely get out of the entertainment industry.

“Hmph,” Le Bai calmed down, snorted coldly, and added, “I don’t care what you do, but don’t tell me I didn’t remind you when you get blamed for this. He is becoming famous again recently. If he bites back, none of us will feel good.”

Hearing this, Sun Yanzhou smiled. “It’s better to be famous. How else would he get attention if he’s not famous.”

“What do you mean?” Le Bai frowned.

“Isn’t Lin Cheng famous because of his daughter this time? Well, he will soon crash because of his daughter too.” Sun Yanzhou paused and told Le Bai his plan: he had planned to make Lin Cheng face various difficult situations in the program, such that would lead to him being scolded by the audience and criticized by netizens. Then he would release black materials to make Lin Cheng’s reputation even more black. 

But what really surprised him was that Lin Cheng did not become a blackened celebrity in the show but instead even became a little popular.

However, it was still okay. When Lin Cheng’s popularity reached a certain level, he would then release evidence of Lin Cheng’s disreputable behavior: having affairs with fans, abandoning his daughter, and finding his daughter just for the variety show… This way, the effect may be better.

After hearing Sun Yanzhou’s plan, even Le Bai couldn’t help but take a breath. “It’s too cruel.” 

Sun Yanzhou glanced at Le Bai and said, “You can’t blame me. Those wealthy families competing for family property are not much cleaner than the entertainment industry.”

This time, the other party obviously wanted to directly ruin Lin Cheng—not only to slander Lin Cheng’s reputation but to make him completely bear the moral infamy and even legal sanctions of abandoning his daughter and then picking her up just to profit off her. He would never have the chance to turn around again.

The difference was that this time was that it was not only Ms. Ye who found Sun Yanzhou but also her husband.

“This is your deal with them, it has nothing to do with me.” Le Bai suddenly wanted to distance himself from the relationship.

But Sun Yanzhou smiled, “When you did those things before, did you think you could escape unscathed?”

“You—!” After looking at each other, Le Bai was defeated.

“The fact that I drugged him and let that woman in—the matter wouldn’t be exposed, right?” Le Bai asked worriedly.

“Don’t worry, our employer is not simple. Those things at the time were cleaned up very thoroughly.”

… …

Sun Yanzhou and Le Bai quickly reached an agreement.

Neither of them noticed that the door was slightly ajar while they were talking, and that Shu Yimeng was holding a mobile phone outside.

… …

“By the way, do you know what Lin Cheng came here for?” Sun Yanzhou asked casually.

“I don’t know. I heard from the staff downstairs that he seemed to have gone upstairs to Building A. Could it be that he’s going to audition with a crew?” Le Bai guessed.

After all, there were several crews recruiting actors and actresses upstairs, including some major productions with excellent reputations.

Hearing this, a flash of disdain flashed across Sun Yanzhou’s face: what kind of acting skills could Lin Cheng have as a singer?
