The news cannot be suppressed.
After Yu Tang called the police, many people inside and outside the cafe started taking photos and videos.
The police respected the wishes of the person involved and did not force Ke Ming to take off his sunglasses and mask. They just took him back to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. But the tabloid paparazzi who have been watching all kinds of gossips for years and act on the news cannot be so blind.
Before meeting Yu Tang, Ke Ming specially bought a set of private clothes that he had never shown in front of the camera before. It covered him tightly from head to toe and also appropriately concealed his figure.
But he didn't expect that a good-looking lucky bag would become an electric shock device, and he didn't expect that Yu Tang, who was always docile and allowed to be manipulated by others, would actually choose to call the police. He was so shocked that he couldn't react in time, and Duoduo revealed some clues.
Of course, these clues did not escape the eyes of the paparazzi.
Just ten minutes after he and Qian Bin were taken away by the police, the trending searches had skyrocketed like a rocket.
The gossip tabloids were vague and only published the most provocative words. Ke Ming was very popular, and when the news reached the marketing accounts, they tried to leave some room for money to cover up the matter, and only wrote that a popular male star named K was suspected of being involved in a street dispute and was taken away by the police to assist in the investigation.
The photo is blurred and there is no solid evidence from close-up shots, but the directionality is still very strong.
In the comment section, Ke Ming's name was mentioned more and more frequently, and each of them was pushed to the top of the list.
Ke Ming's fans finally lost their patience and flocked to those gossip marketing accounts.
"The photo is so blurry, how did you recognize it in the comments? Did you rely on your imagination?"
"There are so many people who look alike, and you didn't even take off your mask or sunglasses, and you just said who it is right away?"
"If you are a rival, don't pretend to be a passerby. It's not just one or two companies that have been targeting us recently. Can't you be more open and aboveboard?"
In the comment section, there were passers-by who came to watch, as well as haters who were not interested in the opponent, and in a blink of an eye, they started arguing with Ke Ming's fans.
Some fans who are still somewhat rational went to the official Weibo account of Ke Ming's agency and asked them to make public Ke Ming's schedule to dispel the rumors. If possible, they hope that Ke Ming himself can also stand up and condemn this completely irresponsible and bad act of blaming others, and clean up the atmosphere in the entertainment industry.
But somehow, these agencies and studios seem to have been disqualified one after another recently, and this time, Ke Ming's agency has also been silent.
The fans finally panicked a little this time. They stopped fighting with the haters and crowded into the official Weibo of the agency: "What is going on? Why haven't you responded yet? Why don't you refute this low-level rumor and hold the person responsible as soon as possible?"
"Are these teams really just made of paper? They just take the money during normal times, but are of no use at all when it matters most?"
"What does an agent do? Where is the agent?"
…
Ke Ming's agent was in the police station's visiting room.
He knew it was bad when he heard the news. Sui Si didn't answer the phone and he couldn't get in touch with him. He hurriedly sent several long messages and went straight to the police station to see Ke Ming.
The police station has official regulations and they cannot just visit whenever they want. According to the regulations, they have to fill out an application to register.
The agent waited in the reception room, pacing around like an ant on a hot pan for hundreds of times, and finally saw Ke Ming. He was so panicked that he rushed over and asked Ke Ming what happened and the whole story.
Ke Ming had just finished taking a statement. He hadn't been subjected to such cold questioning for a long time. He gritted his teeth and his delicate face turned red.
With all the witnesses and evidence, he could only try his best to make Qian Bin the scapegoat. Everything else was impossible to explain clearly.
What's more, Yu Tang looked old and secretly recorded their conversation.
... Recording!
Ke Ming still couldn't figure it out. He took Qian Bin to scout the area for a few days and deliberately didn't ask Yu Tang to come out. He chose to stop Yu Tang suddenly when he went to the supermarket because he didn't want to give Yu Tang any chance to prepare.
He didn't expect that Yu Tang would keep all the evidence while he wasn't paying attention.
Where did Yu Tang get this brain and courage? Or was there someone who was secretly tipping off Yu Tang and giving him advice
Who was it that secretly replaced his things, turning the lucky bag into an electric shock device without any sound
He was still at the recording location of the show, and the only people who could enter his room were the hotel cleaning staff and the assistants in his team.
Was it that the assistant he had chosen was turned against him, or was it that the people assigned to him by Sui Si Studio were not trustworthy at all? Which side were those people on? !
Ke Ming couldn't understand it at all. His suspicions kept growing madly, and there was a hint of gloom and distortion on his face.
The agent saw his expression and knew that the matter was over.
While waiting for the visit, the agent tried his best to understand the case.
He knew what Ke Ming was here for. Seeing that Ke Ming didn't say anything and the police had no intention of releasing him, he knew that this matter might not be so easy to resolve.
The internet was already in chaos, and the company was pressing for action. He had tried to beg the police to let Ke Ming record a short video, or even post a photo, and put it on Weibo, which would calm his extremely uneasy fans... But this was suspected to be completely illegal.
"I'll post a Weibo for you... At least let you know you're safe, just say you just finished recording a show and are on vacation."
The agent asked in a low voice: "Is your case serious? Can you go home today? Can you be released first after paying the bail?"
"You must come out tomorrow at the latest, and we will pay whatever money you want."
The agent looked down and flipped through his wallet: "We'll pay whatever amount you want. If you don't release a video statement soon, this matter will sooner or later be tarnished into a serious stain..."
Ke Ming opened his mouth and was about to speak when there was a sudden buzzing sound in his head.
…Darren, who came to handle the matter, later brought people from the legal department of W&P Company to participate in the subsequent case investigation and negotiation on behalf of Yu Tang.
Ke Ming knew clearly that the crime of electric shock must not be placed on him, not even a little bit.
He was a bystander at first, after all, he had not done any direct harm to Yu Tang. He also insisted that he was only accompanying Qian Bin this time, and the words in the recording were just said to vent his anger.
Sui Si's agent once electrocuted Yu Tang. This matter is not difficult to investigate. Whether Qian Bin is willing or not, criminal detention is inevitable.
w&pThe legal affairs officers did not make things difficult for him, and acquiesced to the criminal detention and investigation of Qian Bin. As for Ke Ming, since he had no evidence of international involvement, he was only given an administrative detention of seven days as a warning.
Ke Ming was still confused as to why the usually overbearing W&P legal department suddenly became so easy to talk to.
Now he suddenly understood.
There is no bail in administrative detention.
Administrative detention is of a minor nature and will not leave any criminal record, so there is no bail pending trial.
No matter how much money he has, he can't take even a single step out of the house now.
He couldn't issue a video statement, couldn't prove his innocence, couldn't coax those fans to continue to fight for him blindfolded. After seven days, when everything was settled, it was too late to explain anything.
… This was even more threatening to him than a minor criminal record.
"Suppress the fans... Don't let them mess around!"
Ke Ming reached out his hand, grabbed the agent's arm across the railing, and said, "Just say that I had a fight with someone, or anything else. Just make up a reason..."
The agent recognized his words, staggered, and turned pale.
"I will file a complaint. Brother Sui is at my house. I'll see if he can help me get it out."
Ke Ming gritted his teeth and said, "We can't let anyone know that this matter has anything to do with Yu Tang, understand?"
The agent looked at him intently and moved his lips.
He actually wanted to ask Ke Ming... Wouldn't it be better not to get involved
Since I no longer have any deeper feelings for Sui Si, why not take this opportunity to break up with Emperor Sui cleanly and continue on this path
Why did Yi Xi want to be with Sui Si? Why did Yi Xi want to use Sui Si as a springboard to jump into the Sui family
The agent has been doing some dirty things for Ke Ming in secret, and he also knows Ke Ming's plans and ambitions. His future has long been tied to Ke Ming's.
He looked at Ke Ming as if he were looking at a gambler who had lost all his money, unwilling to give up the cost he had invested and was determined to put his entire fortune on the line.
Ke Ming stared at him and suddenly shuddered: "... What's going on?"
"What's wrong?" Ke Ming asked him hoarsely, "Why don't you speak?"
The agent bowed his head.
"Have they already reported this matter to Yu Tang?"
Ke Ming guessed what he couldn't say, and tightly grasped his agent's arm, asking sternly: "When did it happen! When—"
The agent pulled his hand away, turned on his phone, and clicked on a Weibo post to show him.
…
At first no one had matched the two things.
It wasn't until one of Sui Si's fans recognized another person in the photo—there were photos taken at the scene, which were actually direct shots of the person who called the police, but because the person was not a celebrity and was not very popular, the photos were not circulated so widely for the time being.
Ke Yutang... is not completely unknown.
The most excited group was Sui Si's fan group.
After the incident, the studio’s official Weibo account has not made any comments since then. The last update was a promotion about looking forward to the new variety show. Sui Si and Yu Tang have never appeared in the public eye again.
Fans initially tried their best to comfort each other, perhaps because Special Assistant Yu accompanied Teacher Sui to participate in the closed recording, or because Special Assistant Yu was ill.
Special Assistant Yu has not been doing any live broadcasts recently, and he apologized to them and explained that he was ill. Teacher Sui might have been accompanying him to recuperate, so she was unable to pay attention to the news from the outside world in time.
The longer time goes by, the paler and more powerless this comfort becomes, and more and more people begin to remain silent.
There are various revelations on the Internet. Some say that the marriage between Mr. Sui and Special Assistant Yu was fake, and that they were together just for a contract and a cover. There are also reports that Special Assistant Yu had been ill for a long time and had been seeing a doctor. Later, when he was hospitalized, he could no longer speak, walk or eat.
Fans were trapped in a mixture of true and false news until they saw today's news and saw Yu Tang in the photos and videos.
It wasn’t the special assistant Yu that they were particularly familiar with.
He was not the gentle and good-tempered Yu who would nag them to study hard. He was not the Yu who would advise them to do what they could, and gently assure them that even if they did not learn from those popular stars to raise funds and vote, he could ensure that their favorite teacher Sui would have a smooth journey.
The fans couldn't figure it out. They couldn't understand how such a thing could happen and watched the photos and videos over and over again.
Some people said that Yu Tang was already in the recovery period after treatment, and the colleague who came to pick up Yu Tang also brought a professional psychological counselor.
The photo was very clear. Someone easily found the information of the psychological counselor. He was quite famous in the industry and his research direction specifically focused on stress-related mental disorders.
…But why is it a stress-related mental disorder
Special Assistant Yu had talked to them for so many nights, and even though it was not long before the birthday came, they were still secretly instigating a birthday party for Yu Tang.
Yu Tang didn't allow them to spend money recklessly, and repeatedly assured them that he had the ability to bring enough resources to Sui Si and there was no need to fight with those traffic stars. Yu Tang kept thanking them for liking Sui Si and told them that being truly loved by others was the happiest thing.
In fact, they always wanted to tell Yu Tang that they liked him too.
Fans all like Yu Tezhu, and many young fans even joined just for Yu Tezhu. Fans of other people don't believe it, and think it's too absurd and unreasonable. There has never been such a person in the circle, nor such an example.
Every time they quarreled, they would tell those people that it was because there was no Yu Tang in the circle before.
Sui Si is indeed not like those popular stars who can get film contracts worth tens of millions of yuan with just a wave of their hands, or have magazine endorsements snapped up in seconds. But Sui Si takes every step very steadily, and his works are always of high quality and have a good reputation, so they never have to worry about being exposed in variety shows.
Fans don't need to contribute money to raise funds because Yu's special assistant said that the money should have been spent by the studio.
Fans don't have to quarrel with others all night long because the studio maintains a watertight structure. Even if it is occasionally involved in gossip or scandals, the most appropriate statement will be given at the most appropriate time, leaving them with almost no room for maneuver.
Sui Si was not always so stable at the beginning. After the studio was on the right track, there were turbulences and storms. Fans were just like those of other people, coming and going, quarreling and fighting over the ranking.
Because of Yu Tang, these unreal and unreasonable things have gradually become real and reasonable.
Fans all like Yu Tang. They want to wait until Yu Tang’s birthday to tell him about this, and secretly create a group to buy him gifts.
For fear of upsetting Yu's special assistant, the vice president wrote very strict group rules, which stated that each person was only allowed to contribute the money for a cup of milk tea at most, and whoever spent more had to write a self-criticism.
Just one month left.
…
Just one month left.
In the villa, Sui Si sat on the sofa in a daze, holding his cell phone.
Three months later, he got furious because Yu Tang asked him if they could divorce later, and he even blocked Yu Tang's phone number.
Yu Tang sent him several voice messages.
At that time, when Yu Tang was ill, he could no longer use medication to suppress the discomfort. It was difficult for him to speak clearly, so he stopped live broadcasting to the outside world.
The voices were unclear, trembling, and the word order was mixed up, making it hard to understand.
Sui Si had no patience and quit after listening for a few seconds without even clicking on the rest.
He heard it more than once later.
I didn’t understand it at first, but after listening more and more, listening repeatedly and analyzing it, I could slowly figure out what Yu Tang wanted to say.
Yu Tang told him that his grandfather's birthday would be in three months, and if he issued a divorce announcement before returning home, he might be punished by his family when he returned home.
Yu Tang asked him if he could be patient a little longer and not get entangled with him.
Yu Tang said, there is one more thing, Teacher Sui doesn’t need to listen, Teacher Sui doesn’t need to agree.
Those voices were placed at the end, and they were already particularly vague and slow. Yu Tang couldn't speak clearly, and stuttered to ask him, three months later, and another month later, it would be his birthday.
Yu Tang wanted to get a divorce on his birthday, then disappear and never show up again. He asked Sui Si if it was okay.
Normally, he would never dare to ask Sui Si about this kind of request. When he was sending the voice message, it was probably difficult for him to sort out his logical thoughts, so he said it out based on his chaotic instinct.
Sui Si lowered his head and mechanically turned the pages one by one, reading the Weibo posts of fans with pure black avatars one by one.
Fans know Yu Tang’s birthday... but he doesn’t.
No one knew, not even Yu Tang himself. Yu Tang stayed in the studio 365 days a year, never accepted any gifts, and never prepared any gifts for himself.
In his twenty-five years of life, the most daring and willful thing Yu Tang had ever done was to ask him if they could postpone the divorce for a month.
…
Then came a notice that I was fired from the studio.
Sui Si looked at his phone. There were more and more reposts on Weibo, asking him and Ke Ming to come out and explain the whole incident and Yu Tang's condition.
These are his fans. Now they have deleted all traces of him and asked him to explain whether his smooth and successful career and path, which once made his fans feel assured and proud, were obtained at the cost of Yu Tezhun.
Sui Si lowered his shoulders and raised his hands to hold his head.
He couldn't explain it.
The ashtray on the table was filled with cigarette butts. The sky outside the window was getting dark. The lights were off in the room, so it was so dark that only outlines could be seen.
Sui Si's computer was on. He called the company back, but the call was rejected.
The agency acted decisively and, before the photos were exposed and the whole thing became a big deal, they had already released a statement formally and peacefully terminating the contract with the artist surnamed Sui. Now a fax of the contract has been sent to him.
Sui Si was not surprised.
Perhaps he really can't do anything except acting. The Sui family made him the heir only because he is a direct descendant of the family. However, if a direct descendant is seriously disqualified, a new one will be selected from the side branch.
He knew that the Sui family had been secretly evaluating him in recent years. He had read those evaluations. People outside the circle did not understand and thought that the success of the studio was due to his own ability.
Sui Si sat motionless for a long time, then stood up, poured a glass of ice water and drank it in one gulp, then replied to Ke Ming's agent.
Ke Ming went to see Yu Tang because of him, because he was implicated by him.
He bought a plane ticket and would wait for Ke Ming to come back. Then he would go abroad to have some quiet time and no longer be a burden to Ke Ming.
Unlike him, Ke Ming still has high commercial value. The liquidated damages from his high-end endorsements alone are enough to pay off the company, so he won't be cut off like him.
The company will not give up on Ke Ming. Once the storm subsides a little, it will try every means to keep Ke Ming.
He won't have any acting jobs in the next few years, but at least he still has some acting skills.
Now that something has happened, Ke Mingduo will be impacted and is no longer suitable for a pure stage career, but he can try to transition into the entertainment industry again.
After returning to China, he can provide guidance to Ke Ming and help Ke Ming with acting.
…
The buzzing of his cell phone mercilessly pulled Sui Si out of his thoughts.
Sui Si shuddered.
He suddenly understood why Yu Tang was afraid of the vibration of his cell phone. He clutched the phone tightly, cold sweat seeping out through his clothes, and his heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.
Sui Si looked at the incoming call reminder on the screen and answered the call: "...Brother Nie?"
"Mr. Sui," Nie Chi said, "Long time no see."
Sui Si did not speak immediately.
He didn't know why Nie Chi called him at this time. Was he commissioned by the Sui family to inform him that he had been officially abandoned by the family, or was he seeing the trending search and wanted to laugh at his joke
Sui Si held the phone tightly, his palms were cold, and he said in a hoarse voice: "No need to be polite... Mr. Nie, just say what you want to say."
"The family decided to abandon me, and I have no objection."
Sui Si closed his eyes and continued: "When I left, I had already signed an agreement to give up my inheritance rights. I accept leaving the Sui family and have no relationship with them anymore..."
Nie Chi: "We originally hoped for this, Mr. Sui."
Sui Si's chest sank heavily.
He felt that he had prepared for the worst and couldn't imagine anything more serious than this.
Sui Si's hands were already shaking. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The Sui family has received two court summonses related to you, and you need to handle them personally."
Nie Chi said: "One is a divorce lawsuit filed by the W&P Legal Department on behalf of an employee..."
"On my behalf?!" Sui Si's pupils shrank. "What right do they have to file this kind of lawsuit on my behalf? It's me and Yu Tang who are getting divorced, why don't they let me see Yu Tang in person? They—"
Nie Chi: "Do you want to meet Mr. Yu in person?"
Sui Si's voice paused.
Nie Chi asked: "Until now, you are still thinking about meeting Mr. Yu and asking him to help you calm the situation, right?"
Sui Si was speechless, cold sweat running down his forehead.
"I'm afraid not."
Nie Chi said: "On the one hand, the litigant himself is ill and cannot fully express his will. He is willing to submit written opinions to the court. This is an extremely special case and he is allowed not to appear in court."
"On the other hand," Nie Chi said, "Mr. Sui, I'm afraid you don't have the moral and personal qualifications to make this request."
Sui Si froze in place.
This was the first time that Nie Chi clearly expressed his attitude, which was more unbearable for him than any condemnation or scolding on the Internet.
Sui Si was so embarrassed that he almost fainted on the spot. He was trembling, his teeth kept chattering, and he couldn't make a sound.
"The other flyer is a public prosecution filed by the Alliance Imperial Capital Procuratorate."
There was a rustling sound on the other end of the phone. Nie Chi changed a piece of paper and read to him: "Regarding your condoning employees to suffer violence and bullying at work, and suppressing their wages..."
Sui Si's eyes widened, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "...What?"
“… and other issues require you to appear in court as a defendant.”
Nie Chi finished reading: "At the same time, we found that you bought a plane ticket tonight, so we cannot completely rule out the possibility that you might have the motive to flee for fear of crime."
"I'm not!" Sui Si's eyes were bloodshot, he almost roared, "I just want to go abroad to avoid the limelight! It's too chaotic, I can't go anywhere now, do you know how painful it is? Do you know what it feels like to live like this?! I can't stand it, I will get sick, I—"
He was suddenly stunned, as if a basin of icy water was poured over his head, and the words gradually disappeared in his throat.
Nie Chi would never know what it feels like to live like this... but someone does.
Some people know better than anyone else.
Yu Tang was imprisoned like this for three years.
Using a fake marriage, I locked myself up in an office that was less than ten steps long and wide.
Sui Si raised his hands and hugged his head tightly. The memories that he had deliberately ignored and almost forgotten suddenly popped up without allowing him to refuse.
Before receiving the fake marriage contract, Yu Tang had already saved up some money and asked someone to find out about a small single apartment that could be purchased without having a Star Citizen status.
Yu Tang, 22 years old, held his passbook like a treasure, and listened excitedly to several old employees in the studio talking about the benefits of the new housing purchase policy in the Alliance Capital. They said that if you buy a single apartment like this, you can be approved for a loan with the minimum down payment, and you can live in it as soon as you buy it, but you can't get a household registration, and if your salary is not high, you will have to pay off the loan for many years.
But Yu Tang didn't care for many years.
It has taken him many years to get to where he is today. He is not in a hurry. Every step he takes is forward. Sooner or later, he will reach a world full of sunshine where many ordinary people live comfortably.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Tang received the contract.
He sat in his office, reading the clauses line by line. There were no exemptions, and as long as one was married, one was no longer eligible for this benefit.
In the imperial capital, this is the only type of housing that can be purchased without star status.
Yu Tang sat in the office all night, and the next day he appeared in front of him with the contract in his hand and red eyes.
…
"We cannot completely rule out the possibility that you may have the intention to flee for fear of crime. We have decided to temporarily detain you administratively and open a formal trial in seven days."
Nie Chi's serious, calm and cold voice came from the phone: "Go out, Mr. Sui, I'm already outside Ke Ming's villa."
