She was filled with a sense of alarm and uncertainty, scared, and furious as she saw her son, whom she was trying to protect, about to be dragged away by the police.
She could no longer hold back, and hysterically screamed out, “It’s the Rong Family! It was the Rong Family who lured people here!”
A severe gaze landed on her.
Madame Gao felt as though her throat had been seized, but her reluctance still compelled her to speak, “They wanted to use us to get the land, and they wanted my dad’s company to invest in Rong Weiwei’s movie, so they said they would marry Rong Yan over to us! They even called Gao Kai and sent someone to the hotel entrance; I don’t know the specifics. Gao Kai is at fault, but without the Rong Family orchestrating it, this would never have happened!”
The man who was walking to the door turned back and looked at her, his voice cold as he said, “Watch your mouth in the future. I don’t want to hear any gossip about Rong Yan on the outside, or else… he will only end up sitting through his jail time!”
Who he was, went without saying!
Madame Gao collapsed on the floor, watching her husband and son being dragged out like trash.
“Mom, mom… save me… Help me…” Gao Kai’s leg was broken, blood was everywhere, and his chubby face was filled with terror as he struggled and screamed miserably.
Yet no one gave him the respect of his face, dragging him away like a pig.
The pain caused him to emit screams like a pig being slaughtered.
Madame Gao wanted to chase after them, but too many shocks in such a short time caused her to roll back her eyes and faint…
The Gao family was thrown into chaos, but Rong Weiwei hadn’t yet heard the news.
It wasn’t until Rong Weiwei’s agent rushed frantically to her dressing room to find her that the peaceful atmosphere was shattered, “Weiwei, have you offended someone? Suddenly, several contacts have told me they don’t need you anymore.”
“What did you say?” Rong Weiwei put down her earrings and looked at him.
With a stiff neck, her agent said, “Just now, I have already received five or six calls canceling our cooperation. These include several major projects, and the most important one in your recent schedule, The Three Kingdoms resource, as well as the L&V endorsement that we had been in touch with and were about to sign—their calls came through saying they don’t need you anymore. I don’t know what’s going on, so I came to ask you.”
The Three Kingdoms resource and the L&V endorsement were her most important goals of late!
Rong Weiwei turned pale, her hands gripping the earrings tightly. Her graceful eyes filled with venom as she clenched her teeth and asked, “Why would they cancel out of the blue, did you ask them?”
Seeing her expression, the agent was scared but told the truth, “I asked L&V, and initially, the brand manager said your image did not match the brand positioning. But when pressed, they revealed it was a decision from above. The producer from The Three Kingdoms didn’t say anything, just that they were replacing you. I even mentioned Mr. Shi, but it was no use.”
Rong Weiwei bit her lip, with cold glints flashing in her almond-shaped eyes,
“Check the connections behind the resources that have replaced me!”
“I’ve checked that already. Many people were in touch with the resources you lost out on; it’s unclear who’s playing dirty tricks behind the back.”
Rong Weiwei shook her head, her face distorted with rage, “I asked you to check who the sugar daddy behind these resources is.”
“Oh, oh, oh.” The agent, not daring to delay, quickly scrolled through his phone and after a few minutes, said in astonishment, “Weiwei, I’ve found out—it’s all related to Li Group! Did you offend Li Group?”
How could Weiwei have possibly offended Li Group when things were going well? She had some status and background, and the boyfriend she was dating also came from a powerful and influential family, but compared to the Li Family, she was hardly a match..
