Ge Xuan Si's gaze was almost devout, his eyes fixed solely on Lin Xing Wan, with no one else in sight. "I never touched Guo Xue Xue. She threw herself at me and threatened to ruin my career in the film industry if I didn't become her plaything."
As soon as Ge Xuan Si finished speaking, Guo Xue Xue anxiously interjected, "Director Wu, look, he's crying wolf again. How could I possibly be interested in a penniless loser like him? Ge Xuan Si, you clearly wanted to sleep with me. I tolerated your repeated verbal harassment on set, but I never expected you to lure me to your room and attempt to force yourself on me. A man full of lies is truly disgusting."
"Miss Guo, do you have any evidence that the artist under my company has molested you?" Lin Xing Wan looked at Guo Xue Xue's provocative posture and then at the extremely weak Ge Xuan Si. She leaned towards Ge Xuan Si's side; if the young man were truly as Guo Xue Xue described, he wouldn't have lasted this long.
"Evidence? I am the witness! Do you see the clothes I'm wearing? Ge Xuan Si tore them. If I hadn't fought back with all my might, I would have been slept with by him by now." Guo Xue Xue showed Lin Xing Wan the torn part of her ancient costume, her eyes darting around. "You're not planning to cover up for this scumbag, are you?"
"If the truth is as Miss Guo claims, I will naturally not cover for Ge Xuan Si and will deal with it accordingly. However, if Miss Guo's words are untrue, I will not stand by and watch my artist be bullied like this." Lin Xing Wan had years of experience in business. Even as a woman, when she became serious, the coldness emanating from her bones was not to be underestimated.
"I have chat messages from Guo Xue Xue on my phone, and I also brought a voice recorder. They are all in my bag." Ge Xuan Si looked at Lin Xing Wan, his dark eyes full of trust.
"Where is your bag?" Lin Xing Wan asked. Ge Xuan Si glanced at a dirty black bag thrown on the ground not far away. As Lin Xing Wan was about to pick it up, Guo Xue Xue beat her to it, snatching Ge Xuan Si's black bag. "You, Ge Xuan Si, to sleep with me, you even fabricated evidence. You are a man with a terrifyingly deep scheme."
Guo Xue Xue quickly rummaged through the black bag and found the phone and voice recorder. Just as she was about to destroy them, a strong force gripped her wrist. Zhou Jin Bai had walked up to Guo Xue Xue at some point. A terrifying aura emanated from the man, especially his imposing gaze, which immediately stunned Guo Xue Xue. It was like a mouse seeing a cat. Even if the cat didn't eat it, the primal suppression would make the mouse tremble and flee.
"It hurts... my hand..." Guo Xue Xue cried out in pain as Zhou Jin Bai took the phone and voice recorder. Director Wu, seeing someone dare to bully his woman in front of him, angrily swung a fist at Zhou Jin Bai's head.
"Zhou Jin Bai, be careful!" Lin Xing Wan shouted a warning. Zhou Jin Bai bent down, not only dodging Director Wu's attack but also forcefully gripping his wrist. The force was so great that Director Wu grimaced in pain, feeling as if the bones in his wrist were about to be crushed.
"Damn it, you dare touch me?" Director Wu was in pain and angry, trying to struggle but unable to match Zhou Jin Bai's strength. Zhou Jin Bai's gaze locked onto Director Wu with a sinister intensity. Director Wu's expression faltered, and with a 'crack,' Zhou Jin Bai released his hand. However, his own hand was now in a strange, contorted shape, and he gasped in pain with the slightest movement.
Zhou Jin Bai ignored Director Wu and handed the phone and voice recorder to Lin Xing Wan. Ge Xuan Si told Lin Xing Wan the screen lock password. She opened WeChat, found the chat box between Guo Xue Xue and Ge Xuan Si, and tapped on it. Guo Xue Xue had initially chatted with Ge Xuan Si under the guise of discussing acting, then started sending ambiguous messages and explicit photos. Lin Xing Wan opened a voice message and immediately blushed. In this voice message, Guo Xue Xue's voice was heavy with panting as she repeatedly called Ge Xuan Si's name, ending with a scream...
Lin Xing Wan disgustedly exited WeChat and opened the voice recorder. Ge Xuan Si's and Guo Xue Xue's voices blared out without warning.
Ge Xuan Si: "What are you doing here? It's lunchtime, and I need to rest."
Guo Xue Xue: "Of course, I came to see you because I miss you. Do you know how much I think about you day and night? I change my underwear several times a day. Director Wu can't satisfy me at all; he's just a quickie."
Ge Xuan Si: "Please have some self-respect."
Guo Xue Xue: "Self-respect? Ge Xuan Si, let me tell you, don't push your luck. Your current position in the crew is thanks to me. Otherwise, with someone like you who has no background, you'd never play the third male lead. Either you satisfy me today, and I won't make things difficult for you, or I'll make sure you can't stay in the crew and will be useless for the rest of your life."
Ge Xuan Si: "A woman like you who sells her body won't get far. Move aside, I need to leave."
Guo Xue Xue: "You're not leaving."
Ge Xuan Si: "Guo Xue Xue, let go of me, don't touch me."
Guo Xue Xue: "Help! Is anyone there? Help me."
...
Lin Xing Wan held the voice recorder, her face ashen. "Director Wu, what do you say to this?"
"This is fake. Ge Xuan Si must have hired someone to record it and frame me. I would never be interested in her. And the WeChat chat is also fake! I don't even have his WeChat ID." Guo Xue Xue's face was full of anxiety. Director Wu, although lecherous, now that the evidence was conclusive, knew that Guo Xue Xue had cheated on him! And she had the nerve to call him a quickie. Damn it! He'd deal with this woman at home, but for now, he absolutely couldn't admit the evidence was real. Otherwise, his peers would laugh at him for not being a man.
"What does a voice recorder prove? Anything can be faked these days. I can only say this dog is trying every trick to sleep with my woman. Either I'll disfigure this dog and castrate him, and Top Entertainment will compensate us ten million for emotional distress, and you'll bear all the losses here; or you all will have to lose a leg." Director Wu's calculation was truly extraordinary.
"You're dreaming. If you don't release them, I'll call the police."
"Call the police? Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, you'd have to do things according to my rules." Director Wu smirked, looking particularly greasy.
"I'll give you two options: either apologize and clarify; or kneel and apologize." Zhou Jin Bai glanced at his watch, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
"Hahahaha? Apologize? Clarify, and even kneel? Who do you think you are? Do you know who I am? Have you heard of the Wu family of Rongcheng? You expect me to kneel? You're dreaming!" Just as Director Wu finished speaking, his phone rang.
