"There is a huge conspiracy behind the nude photo scandal. Chen Guchuan bitterly talks about the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry!"
"An earthquake caused by a nude photo: How dirty is the Hong Kong entertainment industry?"
"Chen Guchuan is back from the dead, and the nude photo scandal is getting worse."
These were the headlines on the front pages of Hong Kong newspapers, and all media outlets treated Chen Guchuan's press conference as the most important news. With such a big incident, even if there was a war in the Middle East, Hong Kong people would not care.
The secrets revealed by Chen Guchuan dropped a bombshell in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, which caused a huge uproar and triggered a series of chain reactions.
The power-for-money transactions, power-for-sex transactions, gangsters' control over the entertainment industry, and rumors of female stars selling their bodies for fame were all confirmed by Chen Guchuan's words. Just like a beautiful woman wearing a bright and beautiful dress, after taking off her clothes, it was full of disgusting rotten meat. The entire Hong Kong entertainment industry was in turmoil. Countless stars were swept in and were in a state of panic. Several entertainment companies controlled by the Skull and Bones Society were exposed to the public because they were pointed at by Chen Guchuan. Even if the Skull and Bones Society had great power, it could only adopt the strategy of sacrificing pawns to save the chariot at this time.
Yan Dao Tang struck while the iron was hot and took the attitude of hitting the downed dog. On the one hand, it used the media and the public to put pressure on the Hong Kong police and cracked down on the Skull and Bones Society through normal channels. On the other hand, the underworld forces of Yan Dao Tang also launched a large-scale attack, and Hong Kong was in a state of panic and bloodshed.
In this battle, the Skull and Bones Society was clearly at a disadvantage. Their influence in the entertainment industry was almost uprooted, and they no longer had the ability to fight against the Yan Dao Tang in the short term. Their influence in the entire Hong Kong region was also severely damaged by this defeat, and they went from competing with the Yan Dao Tang to a state of humiliation.
At least on the surface, Yan Dao Tang won a great victory, which made the leaders of Yan Dao Tang in Hong Kong, led by Da Sheng Gong, very excited.
Of course there was a celebration party after the victory. Amid the cheers and the smoke of the celebration, the person who attracted the most attention was Zheng Yubai, who had made a great contribution.
Regardless of whether Da Sheng Gong still harbored hatred, no one could deny the role played by Zheng Yubai. If it weren't for him, Chen Guchuan might have been killed long ago. If he died, Yan Dao Tang would have lost the most favorable evidence and would not have won a great victory over the Skull and Bones Society.
Besides, the news that Zheng Yubai was Xu Heixing's right-hand man had already spread. Even if Loudspeaker was a little uncomfortable, he didn't dare to offend Xu Heixing. Others, thinking of leaning against a big tree for shade, frequently toasted Zheng Yubai. A good impression at this moment might bring a chance for promotion in the future. No one would be stingy to do this kind of business that made a lot of money without any investment.
Zheng Yubai had to deal with the strangers who came over to talk to him. Although he didn't like them, he couldn't refuse them rudely. He had to put on a smile until his facial muscles became a little stiff.
"Zheng Yubai, I indeed underestimated you before. It seems Xu Heixing's vision is better than mine." Loudspeaker came in front of Zheng Yubai, holding a glass of champagne in his hand, and clinked glasses with Zheng Yubai.
Zheng Yubai scratched his head. He was not used to the sudden change of Da Sheng Gong's face. Although he had decided to do what he could in this circle, he could not change his honest character for a while. In his opinion, people like Da Sheng Gong were like wearing several masks every day, and they could put on a suitable mask at any time to face others. And their true face might not even be known to themselves.
"I really envy Xu Heixing for having such a capable assistant like you." He said loudly, "In fact, Hong Kong is a good place. Are you interested in developing here? The Skull and Bones Society has been defeated. This is our world. You will definitely be able to find a good position here."
This was no longer a compliment, but a naked seduction. Unfortunately, no matter from the perspective of emotion or attraction, even if Loudspeaker rode a horse, he could not catch up with Xu Heixing. It would be a joke if Zheng Yubai was won over by him.
After perfunctorily answering Da Sheng Gong with a very dull smile, Zheng Yubai found an excuse to slip away. He found Sang Biao who was flirting with a cheongsam beauty and thought to himself, this guy doesn't even look at his own dignity. Unless that beauty is after money, how could she be interested in you
Seeing Zheng Yubai coming over, Sang Biao put away his smile towards the beautiful woman and whispered to him, "Administrator, I just heard someone say that Da Sheng Gong wants to deal with Chen Guchuan?"
Zheng Yubai frowned. Although he didn't like Chen Guchuan, he was even more disgusted by this practice of killing the running dog after the cunning rabbit died. However, these should be the internal affairs of the Hong Kong branch. As an outsider, he could not interfere at all.
Seeing Da Sheng Gongzheng talking to someone, Zheng Yubai thought about it and decided to walk over.
"Big Brother, I have something to discuss with you." Zheng Yubai said in a low voice.
"What's the matter?" Loudspeaker was obviously in a good mood, not affected by Zheng Yubai's rejection. In fact, even if Zheng Yubai was willing to come to Hong Kong, he would not dare to accept him. Competing with Xu Heixing for talent, is he satisfied with living at the age of 70
"How do you plan to deal with Chen Guchuan?" Zheng Yubai knew the answer, but still hoped to leave him a chance to survive.
"Need I say more? Of course..." Megaphone calmly made a cutting gesture.
"Can't we save his life?" Zheng Yubai asked.
Loudspeaker narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Zheng Yubai, you are still too naive. He betrayed the Skull and Bones Society this time to save his life, and he will betray us for something else next time. In this circle, no one is much cleaner than anyone else. Some people who know too many secrets are better off keeping their mouths shut forever."
"If we keep him here, we can better fight against the Skull and Bones Society." Zheng Yubai said, not missing the slightest opportunity.
"Wouldn't it be more effective if we put the blame on the Skull and Bones Society?" Loudspeaker was clearly smiling, but his smile was clearly filled with sinister cunning.
Zheng Yubai was speechless. In terms of meanness and shamelessness, he was no match for these cunning guys. There were many things that he could not decide. Chen Guchuan's fate was actually determined the day he was manipulated by the Skull and Bones Society. He could survive if it was caused by heaven, but he could not survive if it was caused by himself. Whether he was willing or not, he had to pay the price for his wrongdoings, although the price was a bit too high.
The day after the celebration, Zheng Yubai and his companions boarded the plane back to Jinghai. Compared with when he came here, although he had no mission to perform, he was not at ease.
The cruelty of human nature, using any means necessary for the sake of profit, although Zheng Yubai knew that this was an unbreakable rule in any circle, he still felt a little disgusted.
Climbing up by stepping on the dead bodies of others, is such a goal, such a career right or wrong
After returning to Jinghai safely, the following events were uneventful. Xu Heixing was very satisfied with Zheng Yubai's performance this time, and gave him a bonus of 20,000 yuan. Although the money was not much, it was Xu Heixing's affirmation of Zheng Yubai. As a godfather-level figure who controlled transnational gangs, the fact that he could focus on Zheng Yubai's small task was enough to show how important Zheng Yubai was in his mind. Because of this small amount of bonus, many high-level executives of the Black Star Company had even begun to spread the news that Xu Heixing was going to focus on training Zheng Yubai.
Hong Kong was in turmoil, and Jinghai was also affected. Every day, the TV and newspapers were full of reports about Chen Guchuan. Zheng Yubai was too lazy to read the rumors about this matter, so he simply isolated himself from the outside world and spent a month in peace.
This period of time was the most comfortable time for Zheng Yubai since he was hired at the safe apartment. He only went to the safe apartment once every three days. The daily work was done by Sang Biao and Jin Yanhui. They were experienced and managed everything in an orderly manner, so Zheng Yubai didn't have to worry about it at all. So in addition to continuing to develop the increasingly clear relationship between him and Xu Jin, Zheng Yubai practiced boxing every day and continued to develop the ability of four-eyed double pupils.
Zheng Yubai went to Zhang Daosheng and discussed the recent progress with him. From Zhang Daosheng's research, it was rare for other superpowers to continue to expand, and superpowers like Zheng Yubai's that could continuously develop new functions were extremely rare. This also confirmed a long-standing speculation of Zhang Daosheng, that is, superpowers can be developed according to people's ideas.
This idea made Zhang Daosheng very excited. He immediately found Dong Ying, Bianjian, Ren Changxing, Lin Xia and others at the research institute of the Superman Association and asked Zheng Yubai to be their mentor. They all did extended training together. Wu Neng, who had no tasks recently, was also asked to do research together. Zhang Daosheng hoped to study the expansion of superpowers and the elimination of side effects from Zheng Yubai and Wu Neng.
After a month, no one made any progress, and Zhang Daosheng was a little discouraged. He made several notebooks, but he just couldn't summarize the rules. Constant failures made him gradually realize that the expansion of superpowers, whether there are side effects, and its arrival are uncontrollable. Everything seems to have been predetermined and cannot be changed by human power.
Later on, everyone's initial passion gradually faded, and at this time, something happened that Zheng Yubai had to deal with.
"Yubai..." Ding Beibei's call was just connected when she heard her crying voice. Zheng Yubai was shocked. In his mind, Ding Beibei had always been very strong, even more reliable than Xu Jin, who looked tough but was soft inside. But now she seemed to be on the verge of collapse, which really worried Zheng Yubai.
"What's wrong with you? Tell me slowly." Zheng Yubai comforted.
"My dad is in trouble..." Ding Beibei finally couldn't help it, and the tears in her eyes fell. Unfortunately, Zheng Yubai didn't see all this, and could only worry in vain.
"What happened?" Zheng Yubai was stunned. Ding Rulong's current position in Jinghai is almost as high as that of Yao Qian, who was once so popular. He is doing legitimate business and is a cautious person. What could go wrong
"He... wuwu... he was tricked into going to New Zealand and was arrested. They said he would be extradited to the United States." Ding Beibei sobbed.
"What's going on? What crime did your father commit?" Zheng Yubai felt very strange. Ding Rulong didn't look like a lawbreaker, so how could he be arrested? And he was extradited to the United States. Was he involved in some political incident
While sobbing softly, Ding Beibei told Zheng Yubai the whole story.
It turned out that Ding Rulong had a high-tech company under his control that specialized in producing various medicines. He had recently launched a new drug called ABRA, which means love. However, an American company called Ebola immediately accused ABRA of infringing their trademark rights. The two sides argued with each other and the lawsuit lasted for a whole year.
Because of the lawsuit, Ding Rulong's new drug has not been available on the market. In a hurry, he discussed with the other party to resolve the issue through negotiation. The Ebola company quickly responded, saying that it wanted to negotiate with him in a third country and proposed to choose New Zealand as the negotiation site.
Ding Rulong agreed without suspicion. But when his plane landed at the airport in Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, he was detained by New Zealand police. Although he had been released on bail, he was forced to stay in Auckland, under 24-hour police surveillance, awaiting further trial. The United States also formally requested New Zealand to extradite him.
All of this was a trap set by Ebola Corporation long ago, in order to take advantage of the legal differences between the two countries to win this lawsuit involving hundreds of millions of dollars.
Ding Rulong was trapped in New Zealand, a place he was unfamiliar with, and could only wait for the United States and New Zealand to decide his fate.
After hearing what Ding Beibei said, Zheng Yubai could not help but get angry. No matter who was right or wrong, the lawsuit would end with a public opinion. But the despicable behavior of Ebola Company was unforgivable.
"Beibei, don't cry. I'll come to you and we'll work together to find a solution. I won't let your father be extradited." Zheng Yubai said firmly.
Half an hour later, Zheng Yubai had arrived at the meeting room of the Palace Hotel. Ding Beibei was with a large group of Ding Group executives. Everyone was like ants on a hot pot, impatient but without any solution.
Seeing Zheng Yubai coming, Ding Beibei no longer cared about anyone else. She pulled Zheng Yubai to the lounge next door and immediately burst into tears.
"Yubai, if Dad goes to the United States and gets sentenced, I don't know what to do." Ding Beibei usually looks like a strong woman, but now she is completely weak and helpless. Ding Rulong has been taking good care of his daughter for many years, and his broad wings have indeed shielded her from many storms. But once he loses his protection, Ding Beibei still reveals the weakness of a little girl of her age.
"Don't worry, I'm here. Haven't you thought of any solution? Logically, you should have a lot of lawyers." Zheng Yubai asked Ding Beibei to calm down. It was useless to cry or regret now. The problem must be solved quickly. Otherwise, once Ding Rulong was extradited to the United States, there would be no one to help.
"The lawyers said there was nothing they could do because we don't have an extradition treaty with New Zealand, and the Ebola company had obviously designed the trap long ago, just waiting for Dad to fall into it," said Ding Beibei.
Zheng Yubai hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, there is no way to save him through normal procedures?"
Ding Beibei nodded: "If I can, I will spend any amount of money. But Ebola Corporation wants to defeat us. They don't agree to negotiate and must extradite Dad to the United States for trial."
"This is too much!" A fire was burning in Zheng Yubai's chest. He had been getting more and more angry since he came back from Hong Kong. Life always involves several turning points, and now he was at a turning point where he saw the world too clearly. The so-called hatred of evil and clear distinction between love and hate could perfectly describe Zheng Yubai's personality and temper.
"What do you think I should do?" Ding Beibei said pitifully.
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Zheng Yubai said calmly, "I have a plan."
Two days later, at Jinghai International Airport, Wu Neng, wearing a large hat covering his bald head, looked curiously at the planes whizzing through the sky and exclaimed: "It must be fun to fly."
Seeing his envious face, Zheng Yubai smiled and said, "You'll be able to sit on it soon. This will take more than ten hours."
Wu Neng suddenly whispered mysteriously: "Brother Yubai, what if... what if I want to go to the toilet?"
Seeing that he was a little nervous, Zheng Yubai laughed and said, "There is a toilet on the plane."
Wu Neng pouted, his face full of confusion: "Then the shit and urine will fall from the sky, what if it hits someone on the head?"
Zheng Yubai had never thought about this question. In fact, he didn't know how the excrement was handled on the plane. Scratching his head, he could only helplessly say, "I don't know either."
Wu Neng wanted to ask more questions, but before he could finish his words, Ding Beibei's voice came over: "Yu Bai."
Ding Beibei was accompanied by Xu Jin, Yu Luo, Susu and others. She had experienced too many blows in the past two days and looked much more haggard. She looked really pitiful.
"Just stay at home and leave this matter to us." Zheng Yubai comforted Ding Beibei.
"Yubai, thank you." Ding Beibei whispered. Ever since Zheng Yubai proposed to go to New Zealand to rescue Ding Rulong, she has been in a dilemma. On the one hand, like all princesses, she hopes that a hero will appear to save her father from crisis, but on the other hand, she doesn't want Zheng Yubai to take risks in the southern hemisphere thousands of miles away.
Although she was hesitant, Ding Beibei was persuaded by Zheng Yubai. She had experienced the test of life and death with Zheng Yubai and knew what kind of ability he had. If there was anyone in the world who was capable and willing to take the risk to save Ding Rulong, it must be Zheng Yubai.
"What a beautiful sister." Seeing Ding Beibei, Wu Neng couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Zheng Yubai knew Wu Neng's personality too well. This guy was like a child. He would treat any good thing he saw as his toy without any courtesy. He hurriedly said, "Wuneng, we should go. New Zealand is a very interesting place. It's very beautiful there, and there are many foreign beauties."
"Really?" Wu Neng's eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot about Ding Beibei in front of him. He turned around and ran straight to the boarding gate.
Zheng Yubai saw Xu Jin behind Ding Beibei looking at him expectantly. He knew that he needed to make a statement at this time, so he walked over, held Xu Jin's hand, and whispered, "Wait for me to come back."
Xu Jin nodded vigorously. Ding Beibei and Susu saw it and felt a trace of inexplicable sadness in their hearts.
After reluctantly parting with the girls, Zheng Yubai and Wu Neng checked their boarding passes together. Ding Beibei looked at Zheng Yubai's receding back until he turned the corner and disappeared, and then two lines of tears silently flowed down her eyes.
She had a vague premonition in her heart that no matter whether Zheng Yubai could rescue her father from New Zealand this time, the relationship between them might have reached a turning point.
There are always many frustrations in life, and it is often this frustration that drives people to grow up and have the spirit and body to withstand more violent storms. At this moment, Ding Beibei is welcoming the moment of her growth amid her father's predicament and the passing of love.
Zheng Yubai was also a little sad. He saw the tears in Ding Beibei's eyes and the deep meaning behind them. But love is always selfish. He has already had "skin-to-skin" contact with Xu Jin, so he can't waste Ding Beibei's youth. In some ways, Zheng Yubai is really a traditional and old-fashioned person, retaining the simple character of his predecessors.
"Brother Yubai, this plane is so big?" Wu Neng, who was riding on a plane for the first time, felt extremely curious about everything in front of him. He touched everything and almost lifted the stewardess's skirt.
Zheng Yubai hurriedly grabbed him, thinking that this guy didn't know the seriousness of the matter. If he couldn't control his superpowers well and made a big hole in the plane during flight, then even if he was lucky and his superpowers were strong, he would definitely die.
He briefly told Wu Neng some things to pay attention to when flying. Fearing that he would not listen, Zheng Yubai exaggerated and frightened him. His words were very terrifying, which made Wu Neng calm down a little.
Seeing Wu Neng sitting obediently and fastening his seat belt tightly, it was really hilarious. Zheng Yubai smiled secretly, thinking that he had become so cunning.
Ding Rulong was trapped in New Zealand, and there was no way to rescue him through formal channels. Time was very tight, and it was unclear when the United States would extradite him. In this case, the only option was to rescue him privately with thunderous means. Zheng Yubai knew that his power was limited, and among those who could help him, Wu Neng was the best candidate.
Leng Tie also contributed a lot to this matter. Not only did he gladly give Wu Neng a holiday, he also specially asked the local agents of the Special Affairs Management Bureau in New Zealand to welcome them and prepare the necessary weapons and tools for them.
By leveraging the power of Black Star Company and Ding Group in both the black and white worlds, Zheng Yubai and Wu Neng quickly obtained visas to New Zealand. Without further ado, they boarded a plane to the distant island country in the Pacific Ocean.
The plane quickly took off. Wu Neng experienced the feeling of flying in the sky for the first time and couldn't help but cheer excitedly. The other passengers looked over in surprise, but when they saw Wu Neng's appearance, they immediately looked away in fear.
The journey will cross half of the Pacific Ocean and head straight to the Southern Hemisphere. After more than ten hours of flight, they will set foot on the land known as the most beautiful in the world to carry out a great rescue. (To be continued)
