There are two movie markets in the world, one is the country of America, the other is China.

The movie market in both places was enormous, and a success in both would mean success in the movie market around the world.

Although the movie "The Way of the Heaven" had also made more than 100 million box office sales in Europe, it was not that eye-catching when compared to the two biggest movie markets, China and the country of Mi.

Time passed bit by bit. By the time 12 o'clock in the morning, on the day of the release of 'Heavenly Path', the box office of the mainland had reached a total of 2.837 billion.

It has to be said, the entire population of China only has a few billion people, and 2.80 billion at the box office. If a movie ticket costs 40 dollars, then it's equivalent to over 70 million people going to the cinema to watch the movie today!

With over seventy million viewers, this was simply a miracle!

In the hotel.

When Xu Taiping heard Guo Yunpeng's report about the box office, he also felt a little scared.

He had a hunch that this movie would get a good box office, but he never expected it to be so terrifying.

This was no longer a matter of the audience going to the movie theater to return their tickets. This was a matter of countless people sending money to him!

2.8 billion wasn't much to Xu Taiping's wealth, but to China's Shadow History, this first day of box office sales was unprecedented.

Under the influence of countless external factors, Xu Taiping successfully converted all the factors that were disadvantageous to him into the box office.

It could be said that part of the reason for the box office records was because the movies were really good, and the other part was because of Xu Taiping's pig rivals.

If these people hadn't given Xu Taiping the opportunity to constantly expose and hype up the movie, it definitely wouldn't have reached such a level.

This was especially true for the person who leaked the mother tape. Because of him, many people had seen the source of the high definition film ahead of time, and then these people had reported the good reviews online, which resulted in even more people voluntarily going to the cinema to see Xu Taiping's movie. In addition to that press conference that Xu Taiping held, Xu Taiping's magnanimity made many people who saw the pirated movie feel even more ashamed, making those people who almost never spent their money to watch it, all willing to buy a movie ticket and go to the cinema to see the movie for him.

Anything, when it became a trend, would have countless people following it.

The same went for watching movies. When many people went to the cinema to see Xu Taiping's movies, there would naturally be more people following in their footsteps.

The movie theater was still bustling with people, the box office was still growing at a terrifying rate, and to Xu Pingping, he was not too concerned about how much he was getting now, because today's box office had already proven everything. He was definitely going to make a lot of money from this movie, and what Xu Pingping was more concerned about right now was who leaked his mother's tape.

At half past two in the morning, the Beijing police called Xu Taiping.

Logically speaking, this wasn't something that should be called, but Xu Taiping had specifically said that once the police caught someone who leaked the mother band, they would call him immediately. Therefore, even though it was 2.30am in the morning, the police still called Xu Taiping, and the reason for the call was very simple: they caught the person who leaked the mother band.

The police's efficiency was still very high, especially since this matter involved the richest man in China, Xu Taiping. After a few days of investigation, the police finally found the person who leaked the mother tape.

After Xu Taiping received the call from the police, he gave Guo Yunpeng a call. Afterwards, the two of them left the hotel and went to the Beijing Police Department.

In the Beijing Police Department, Xu Taiping and Guo Yunpeng were placed in a separate room by the head of the investigation team, Xiao Lin. He briefly told them about the criminal suspects they had gotten.

"The suspect's name is Wen Xingyong, and he was forty-two years old this year. He was the projector of a movie theater called Cloud Star in Beihe County. As a result of his work, he made contact with the movie tape in the movie theater, which he was planning to use for Christmas Day, and he sold a copy of it to a pirated website online for three hundred thousand dollars.

"After the boss left, he followed the lead and found Wen Xingyong. Now that Wen Xingyong has admitted to his crime and matched it with some of the clues we have gathered, we should be going through the public prosecution process." Little Lin said.

"Just three hundred thousand?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Yes, 300,000 is quite a sum." Little Lin said.

"Is this Wen Xinyong's first time committing a crime?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Yes, it's the first offense!" Little Lin nodded.

"First offense?" "Then why isn't he looking to sell someone else's tape and only sell mine?" Xu Taiping asked.

"We don't know either. He said that your movie was quite popular recently, so he thought he could sell it for a good price. That's why he secretly copied the mother tape and sold it." Little Lin received it.

"Is this Cloud Star Cinema the small courtyard line?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Yes, there are about a hundred cinemas in the country. They're considered small, mainly located in the third and fourth tier cities." Little Lin said.

"I'd like to see this Wen Yong." Xu Taiping said.

"Meet him?" Xiao Lin slightly creased his brow, "I wonder what else there is that Mr Xu does not understand?" Perhaps I can help you. "

"I just wanted to see him." Xu Taiping smiled, "I hope Officer Lin can help."

"About this..." Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment, then said, "We can see him, but the police must be present, and we must record the entire incident."

"Sure, sure!" Xu Taiping nodded.

"Fine, come with me." As Xiao Lin spoke, he brought Xu Taiping out of the room and circled around the police station for a while before arriving at an outside detention center.

"Wen Xingyong is here." Little Lin pushed open the door and said, "Mr Xu, please come in."

"Un, thank you!" Xu Taiping nodded, then walked in with Guo Yunpeng, followed by Little Lin.

There was a policeman in the holding cell, and behind the iron fence opposite the policeman, a man in his forties, his hands cuffed, sat in a chair.

"Boss!" When the policeman saw Xiao Lin enter, he quickly stood up and greeted him.

"You can leave first!" Little Lin received it.

"Yes sir!" The policeman nodded, then turned and walked out of the cell.

"Mr Xu, this is Wen Xinyong!" Xiao Lin pointed at the man behind the iron fence.

When the man heard the sound, he looked towards Xu Taiping. When he saw Xu Taiping, he quickly lowered his head.

"Wen Xinyong." Xu Taiping walked up to the fence and looked at him. "You're the one who sold my mother's son?"

Wen XingYong lowered his head and did not say a word.

"Very good." Xu Taiping smiled and said, "You dare to sell my mother's belt? You're quite good."

"I was wrong." Wen Xingyong said in a low voice.

"Wrong? Of course you're wrong. " Xu Taiping smiled, "You are wrong by a huge margin. Moreover, you will definitely pay a heavy price for your foolish actions."

Hearing Xu Taiping's words, Wen XingYong raised his head and looked at Xu Taiping, but didn't say anything.

"Officer Lin, how will this Wen Xingyong be qualified in the end?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I'm not sure about that. It's a matter of the public prosecution. However, it should be linked to theft. Whether it's stealing commercial secrets or the mother tape, it's all a theft." Little Lin said.

"Where's the punishment?" Xu Taiping asked.

"This, if we are to judge the punishment, it is possible to judge the punishment based on his illegal gains. I am neither a lawyer nor a judge, so I am not very clear about this." Little Lin said.

If we were to use the illegal proceeds to punish someone, then the illegal gain of 300,000 yuan would be based on this 300,000 yuan. Stealing 300,000 yuan would be considered a felony, but locking it up for seven or eight years would probably be too easy for this guy, so, no matter what, I can't let the court use the illegal gain to punish him. As far as I know, stealing is partly a punishment of the illegal gain, but on the other hand, it would also take into account the real damage that the stolen property would cause to the victims, such as you stealing my movie mother's tape, causing me a loss of 10 million yuan. Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Mr Xu still has some knowledge of the law?" Officer Lin asked in surprise.

"A little research." Xu Taiping smiled as he looked at Wen Xingyong, "Wen Xingyong, you might not know this, but this movie of mine has a total of almost three billion at the box office. Xu Taiping smiled as he looked at Wen Xingyong," Wen Xingyong, you might not know this, but this movie of mine has a total of nearly three billion at the box office.

"How is this possible? I got three hundred thousand!" Wen Xingyong shouted excitedly.

"That three hundred thousand is your illegal gain, but it's not my loss. My loss can also determine your punishment, not to mention the amount, it's one hundred million. If you make me lose one hundred million, then this 100 million is enough for you to stay in prison for your entire life." Xu Taiping said.

"No, you can't do this, how can you blame this on me. You don't have any evidence to prove that I caused you so much loss!" Wen Xingyong called out.

"Evidence?" Of course there's evidence, I'm already looking for the analysts, I'll let them calculate how much money I lost from this leak, then I'll bring the evidence from the analysts to the court, believe me, with my ability, contacts, the court will definitely believe in my evidence, at that time, my life sentence will be the starting point of your sentence, this is the price you have to pay for stealing my mother's belt, I … I want you to spend the rest of your life in prison. I want you to suffer in prison for the rest of your life! Even if the law bypasses you in the future, as long as you are released from prison, I will use my methods to make you regret coming to this world. I, Xu Taiping, will keep my word! "

Xu Taiping said with killing intent.
