Chapter 106 - Twenty-Five Million

"Why not? They are all fake anyway, except for beating up the sponsors which would be deemed as right-of-self-defense. All you guys have to do is to follow them back to Rong Guang Entertainment to settle your contract. Whatever that needs to be paid would be paid by me. Remember to keep your cool and not flare-up, leave all the talking to the lawyers. Now, go!"

'Heartbeat' followed the group of lawyers, bodyguards and two directors out of Blue Diamond Entertainment to Rong Guang Entertainment in a blur.

At Rong Guang Entertainment.

"Uncle, with that news, even if those brats go to another company, they would never be able to clear their names. Furthermore, they would end up getting hidden in another company and we would still earn a large sum of money from them breaking the contract. If Blue Diamond Entertainment's boss doesn't want them anymore, then that would be even better because they would be in despair and would give in to the sponsors eventually!" Rong Dong said excitedly.

"That boss of Blue Diamond Entertainment is still too inexperienced to go against me!" Rong Zhong replied with a wicked grin.

Starlight Entertainment.

In a hidden corner.

"Heh! 'Heartbeat' is doomed again!" Someone said in excitement.

"Eh. If 'Heartbeat' is doomed, would they still be able to write good songs?" Another person asked.

"Even if they are doomed and can't write good songs, they still have to, unless they are willing to sleep with the sponsors." Another man answered.

"If they really chose to sleep with the sponsors, then we would just have to reveal it to the whole world, and they would be doomed once again." The last man, Luo Ren Wei, answered with a smirk.

These four people are the group members of 'Flash' and Luo Ren Wei was the leader.

At the front gate of Rong Guang Entertainment.

"Cui Zhi! What do you have to say about the news of you beating up the sponsor?"

"Rui Han! Why did you all beat up those sponsors? Don't you all think that you all should apologize to those that you have hurt?"

"Why did you all plagiarize other people's work again?!"

"Where's your shame?!"

"Get out of the Entertainment Circle!"

…

The fans of 'Flash', anti-fans of 'Heartbeat', as well as reporters,  were all crowding the entrance as they bombarded the five people with questions.

"We did not plagiarize anyone's work! Our works were stolen!" Fu Chang Mu said in anger.

"Bullshit! You guys are so useless that you only know how to copy others' songs!"

"That's right! Get out of the entertainment circle!"

"Why are people like you guys still kept in Rong Guang Entertainment?!"

…

The crowd started to go into an uproar once again.

"Please let my client pass through, they are here to settle some things with Rong Guang Entertainment. Those questions that you have would be answered soon," Zhuo Yao said as the bodyguards circled Rui Han, Cui Zhi, Liu Ze Ming, Cao Jun, Fu Chang Mu, and the team of lawyers.

With the help of the bodyguards, they made it into Rong Guang Entertainment's building successfully and went to the meeting room immediately.

"My dear children, you guys are finally back. Have you decided where you guys would be going?" Rong Zhong said with a grin.

Rong Zhong already had his team of lawyers at the back, ready to threaten them again.

"My clients came here to dissolve their contracts."

"Sure. However, can they afford to pay for all the fines?"

"Mr. Rong, I am sure you know that they don't have to pay for anything."

"Oh no, they have loads to pay for. Injuring people, plagiarizing songs, ruining the company's image and for dissolving their contracts earlier than stated."

"Firstly, they were just performing the rights-of-self-defense. Secondly, we have to charge you for ruining my client's reputation by accusing them of plagiarism as well as for breaching the contracts. According to their contracts, their only duties as an artist in your company is to sing, act, and dance. However, you sent Cui Zhi to accompany the sponsor and drugged him which ended with him protecting himself…"

Zhuo Yao and his team spoke for fifteen minutes continuously as they talked against Rong Guang Entertainment's lawyer team.

"… So, Mr. Rong, can you tell me now whether you would like to settle this issue privately or bringing such matters to the public's eyes?"

Zhuo Yao brought evidence of the five men being sent to the sponsor's bed by drugging them etc and evidence of their songs being plagiarized. There was also evidence of other things that Rong Guang Entertainment did which breached the contracts and Rong Guang Entertainment would be facing multiple charges if this matter was brought to the public's eyes.

"You!" Rong Zhong was furious as he didn't expect that they would be able to gather so much evidence.

"According to the contract, if either party breaches the contract, they would have to pay a sum of five million dollars. Since there are five of them, it would amount to twenty-five million dollars. If you don't want to pay this amount and are not going to dissolve their contracts, we would have to see you in court. My clients don't want to blow this matter up, hence they chose to resolve this outside of the court. However, my boss said that if you refuse to cooperate, then when we will see each other in court, and it wouldn't be just about the five of them," Zhuo Yao said as he stood up to leave.

When Rong Zhong heard the last sentence, he was flustered.

"Wait! I will pay the amount and I will dissolve their contracts immediately."

"Uncle!"

"Shut up!"

Rong Zhong understood the underlying meaning behind Zhuo Yao's words, he was more afraid of letting his wife find out that he was cheating than to pay a large amount of money because letting his wife find out would mean losing the whole company!

Rong Zhong swiftly dissolved the contracts of the five men and signed a cheque of twenty-five million dollars unwillingly.
