1685 Enemy Attack
Facing the reporters, Xu Zhiqin said calmly, “What happened this time was actually a misunderstanding. My assistant Xiao Ling and I have never touched any Orlando double-tailed finfish, let alone tried to bring one back to the country. Under the joint inspection and witness of the police, customs officers, and biological experts in Osland, Xiao Ling and I cleared our names. Thank you for giving me your attention. Please pay more attention to my work, Beautiful Minds.”
“So you were framed?”
“Do you know who did such a thing?”
“Is it a competitor or a personal enemy?”
Xu Zhiqin smiled. “I’m not too sure about that. But Osland is also a country ruled by law. This matter involves the safety and freedom of foreign tourists in their country. I believe they’ll make their own judgment soon.”
…
The news of Xu Zhiqin’s return to the country gave everyone in Nirvana Entertainment and the entire production team of Beautiful Minds a boost.
Xu Zhiqin was fine. This investment and the entire production team had come back to life.
Although the two TV stations were a little regretful now, they weren’t completely disheartened. Since they had already signed a contract with Fu Yujia for the new show, they had no choice but to give up on Nirvana Entertainment.
Soon, Su Bei arrived at the two TV stations with her lawyer and contract.
“We haven’t breached the contract yet, but the two of you did. In that case, we’ll demand compensation according to the contract.”
The two TV stations had nothing to say. However, it happened so suddenly that they were only thinking about the overall interests of the TV stations. It could not be considered a big mistake.
It was precisely because Su Bei knew this that although her attitude was tough, she was not aggressive.
She understood the principle of parting on good terms better than anyone else.
After receiving the penalty for breach of contract, she received more contract invitations from other TV stations. There were still many things she needed to do next.
When Fu Yujia heard that Xu Zhiqin had returned, she was not particularly surprised. “Su Lu is very good at doing things. I’ve underestimated him.”
“I heard that in just a few days, they convinced the Osland government to give Xu Zhiqin a certificate of acquittal. This matter has no impact on Nirvana Entertainment at all,” Han Xu said.
“That’s their good fortune.” But how could it not affect them at all?
Fu Yujia did not believe it.
She took this opportunity to sell the TV show that Sheng Tang Entertainment invested in for a good price.
Han Xu’s phone rang. He took it to the side and answered it. Then, his expression changed as he said, “Miss Fu, there’s bad news.”
“What is it?”
“Mr. Wen was arrested in Osland. He was convicted of fishing and killing the precious fish, the Orlando double-tailed finfish.”
“What?” Fu Yujia stood up in shock. “Is this misinformation or the truth?”
Han Xu hurriedly made a few more calls to verify it. His face was slightly pale as he said, “Miss Fu, it’s the truth. Mr. Wen’s assistant saw him being taken away with his own eyes. Moreover, the officials have already given conclusive evidence to verify this. Currently, the Wen family has already arranged for a lawyer to contact him.”
Fu Yujia said, “Go over immediately! Also, block the news!”
Han Xu immediately went to book a plane ticket.
But how could the news be blocked?
Su Bei was the one who found out the truth. She had first-hand information.
Wen Kaiwei had just been convicted when the news was reported domestically.
[Oh my God, it was actually Wen Kaiwei! But who is Wen Kaiwei?]
[He’s a big shareholder in Sheng Tang Entertainment and is very famous. His family is powerful. However, it’s really surprising that a dignified young master would do such a thing.]
[What’s there to be surprised about? I heard that when Xu Zhiqin was first arrested, Sheng Tang Entertainment intercepted a lot of resources from Nirvana Entertainment. I didn’t expect Sheng Tang Entertainment to really be a bunch of rats. Even a shareholder stepped out to frame a small artiste.]
[I wonder if there’s any inside story to this?]
[What inside story can there be? The laws overseas are very strict. It’s not that they’re not strict in our country, but in our country, families like the Wen family and the Fu family would have some power to deal with such things. But if you commit a crime in Osland, they don’t care who you are!]
[That’s right. Besides, that fish is precious and is a god in the locals’ hearts. Although it’s a little superstitious, you can’t disrespect the faith of others! I think Wen Kaiwei is going to suffer this time.]
[To be honest, these rich second-generation heirs should be properly disciplined. They’ve always been arrogant and domineering. They only know how to spend money. Now, they’ve been humiliated overseas!]
The matter had a huge impact. Wen Kaiwei’s family did not hesitate to invite a lawyer like Fu Xing.
However, the evidence was conclusive. Although Fu Xing tried his best and was very capable, Wen Kaiwei was still sentenced to five years of imprisonment.
The sentence was even a year and a half longer than what the singer got back then.
All of this was mainly because after the singer accidentally caught the Orlando double-tailed finfish back then, they only posted it on their Moments and casually kept the fish in the bathtub. They almost killed the fish, but they didn’t really kill it. It was only seriously injured.
As for Wen Kaiwei, he had slaughtered the fish alive.
The biology expert had already done some research. “The more harm this fish suffers, the more mucus it secretes. This is actually a way to save its life. A week has passed since the incident, but a huge amount of mucus was still found on Wen Kaiwei’s hand. It shows how cruel he was when he killed the fish.”
This was why although Fu Xing tried his best to defend Wen Kaiwei, he could only reduce his sentence slightly.
After the biological expert’s words were posted online, Wen Kaiwei received another round of criticism from netizens.
Sheng Tang Entertainment was also criticized by others.
Fu Yujia was so angry that her nostrils flared. She had not eaten for three days.
She had no idea what was going on, but now, she was implicated and scolded.
The shareholders and higher-ups in the company were also very dissatisfied. Fu Yujia was under a lot of pressure because she was being attacked by both sides.
The Wen family also had some complaints about Fu Yujia. They felt that the reason why Wen Kaiwei made a mistake was that he was encouraged by Fu Yujia and was bewitched by her.
Especially Madam Wen. She even pointed out that Fu Yujia was the one who secretly instructed her son to do it and take the blame for her.
It caused the harmonious relationship between the Fu and Wen families to become a mess overnight.
Initially, Old Master Fu thought that his granddaughter would take the money and go out to train herself. It didn’t matter if she lost or won. He just treated it as training her.
Therefore, even when something happened to Sheng Tang Entertainment previously, as long as Fu Yujia was not hurt, he would turn a blind eye.
