“Your previous group was called Five boys?” Sister Hong frowned as she looked at her phone.

“Yes,” Song Qianming answered as he ate, “But after I quit, they became Four boys, and then the group’s name got shortened to F.B. What about them?”

“One of your ex-teammates, Zhong Boyi, injured Captain Yuan Fei. It’s on the news now and he was taken away by the police. Did you have a bad relationship with them before?”

“Yeah.” Song Qianming also took out his phone to check.

“Then don’t respond to this matter for the time being. Just pretend that you don’t know anything. If the media asks, just say that you didn’t contact them after you left the team and that you don’t know the inside story. Just wait for the police to report it, understand?”

“Understood.”

Song Qianming looked at Ji Tong, who was crying in the video, and his intuition told him that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Surrounded by the reporters, Ji Tong was crying very sadly, but even so, it didn’t affect his handsomeness at all. On the contrary, his fragile and sad appearance easily aroused the desire of others to protect him.

Although some may think that it is unsightly for an adult man to look so weak, the public’s aesthetic standards were different, and some people fell for this.

Ji Tong’s bright eyes looked at the camera and said, “I don’t know why they’re doing this either. Maybe it’s because Brother Boyi is jealous of Brother Qianming’s popularity. That day, Brother Boyi said that it was Brother Yuan who held us back. He said that Brother Yuan had been in the limelight for every job, but he hadn’t made a splash in the past few years. Then, he said that Brother Qianming had become popular after leaving the team.”

As he spoke, he even shed tears. “If only I had listened more to Brother Boyi that day. If only I had realized that something was wrong back then. Otherwise, today’s incident wouldn’t have happened. I only hope that Brother Yuan is fine now.”

“By Brother Qianming, are you referring to Song Qianming, the male lead of the recently popular drama ‘Frost Falls’?” a reporter asked.

“Yes, it’s a good thing that Brother Qianming terminated his contract early. It would be horrible if he was also affected by this incident.”

“Don’t have any more contact with this Ji Tong in the future.” Sister Hong shook her head after watching it. “He’s not a simple person.”

“I know,” Song Qianming thought that Ji Tong might have played a part in this incident. After all, Zhong Boyi was an impulsive person, and he might have been incited.

Because this was one of the rare cases of injury exposed to the media in the entertainment industry, and they were the ex-teammates of the recently popular Song Qianming, this incident quickly became a hot topic.

Everyone tried to contact Song Qianming and ask him to come out and say a few words, but he never did.

As a result, there were people who started to criticize him on his Weibo, saying that he had no conscience, that he was too cold-blooded, and so on. He could not care less when his former teammate was in such a situation, he was simply too heartless.

After waiting for a few days, the police finally came to report that Yuan Fei’s face had suffered a very serious injury. Even with the best medical treatment, it would leave a scar for the rest of his life. Zhong Boyi was undoubtedly guilty of intentional injury.

Although the wound was on his face, Yuan Fei’s injury was only judged as a minor injury by the hospital. However, according to the country’s criminal law, if Yuan Fei pursued the matter and didn’t choose to forgive, then Zhong Boyi would be sentenced to less than three years in prison.

With his face disfigured, Yuan Fei’s future as a star was basically ruined. He probably wouldn’t choose to forgive him and Zhong Boyi’s life was over. With a criminal record, he could forget about becoming a star and it would be hard for him to even have a good job opportunity in the future.

Besides, Zhong Boyi’s family wasn’t as rich as Yuan Fei’s. He was just an ordinary college student back then. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have signed the contract after being fooled by Xi Le.

These few years, he had been wasting his time on training and jobs because he believed that he was going to be a star. He didn’t even finish university back then, so if he came out from jail, his future was basically bleak.

F.B. had four people, one injured and one arrested. The group was completely disbanded, and only during this, the group was closely watched by the public.

What caught Song Qianming’s attention was that after Ji Tong went solo, he received a variety contract and a film contract. He was more and more certain that this matter had something to do with Ji Tong.

However, he didn’t have any evidence, so what could he do even if he was suspicious? Perhaps even Zhong Boyi didn’t think of this.

In the future, he would do as Sister Hong said and stay as far away from Ji Tong as possible. It would be best if he didn’t have anything to do with him. As for how Ji Tong tried to talk to him in variety shows, it would be fine as long as he didn’t give any response. Even if people said that he was cold-blooded, or that he had turned his back on Ji Tong after being popular for a long time, it wouldn’t matter. As time passed, everyone would automatically think that he and Ji Tong really didn’t have any friendship.

Although this would affect his reputation in the short term, it was still better than being associated with Ji Tong and being schemed against by him in the future. He didn’t want to put on such a fake brotherhood with Ji Tong.

“He’s really calm!” Ji Tong gritted his teeth as he watched the interview video about Song Qianming. “He’s still not responding even when things are already like this. Isn’t he afraid that the netizens will be disgusted with him?”

His new manager sighed regretfully and said, “It seems that this trick won’t work. In the future, stop saying that you’re brothers with him or that you used to be close to him. If you say that too much, people might think that you’re trying to gain popularity from him. Now, it’s enough.”

“I know, I just feel like it was a wasted opportunity.” He threw his phone away.

The manager took out a business card and handed it to him. “CEO Ma from Wolian would like to have a meal with you. This is her business card. Although she’s is a widow, her husband left her a lot of inheritance. In recent years, she has also invested in many projects in the circle. You should handle this opportunity well.”

Ji Tong took the business card with some humiliation and gritted his teeth, “Can’t you find a better one?”

The manager scoffed at him. “CEO Ma’s qualifications are already good enough. Although she’s a little old, as long as you can coax her, she’s still very willing to spend money. Do you think that people like Shen Bao’er are everywhere on the streets?”

Ji Tong was unconvinced. How could Song Qianming find someone as rich, young, and beautiful as Shen Bao’er? And he could only accompany these old women?

“If you really don’t like her, there’s one more person you can try.”

“Who is it?”

“CEO Yan from Yun Cang is not only more generous and rich, but he’s also young.”

“Yan Zhen? But is he not a… a man ?” Ji Tong was shocked.

The manager half-smiled, “So what if he’s a man? You’ve been in this circle for three to four years, right? Is that very rare? Besides, even if you’re trying to get close to CEO Yan, he might not even like you!”

“I’ll go with CEO Ma.” He took the business card and laughed dryly. “When did CEO Ma say she would be free?”

“Prepare yourself and change your clothes. CEO Ma will send someone to pick you up.”

The manager left after he finished speaking, leaving Ji Tong alone with an unclear expression on his face. After a long time, he went to wash up and change his clothes. He told himself again and again that this was normal, that it didn’t matter, as long as he got the resources and made a name for himself, he must be more famous than Song Qianming.
