Chapter 967

Lu Yan He was very surprised to see this sentence sent by Chen Ziyan.

He asked: You mean, she is guarding against Chen Pinhe?

Chen Ziyan: It's not impossible.

Lu Yan He: Have they reached this point?

Chen Ziyan: Something must have happened between them for them to suddenly start making a clean break.

Lu Yan He: But, is it just because of the misunderstanding we caused with Zhang Yuezhen before?

Chen Ziyan: That must only be a fuse. In fact, a couple, especially between the two of them, must have had all kinds of problems for so many years; it's just that outsiders don't know.

Lu Yan He: Although I don't know exactly what happened between them, I think you're right; the commotion they are making is too big.

Chen Ziyan: The commotion hasn't hit the internet yet, it's not public. Once it's public, it might be a bloody storm.

Lu Yan He: Are you planning to find someone to expose it?

Chen Ziyan said: Doing this now has no meaning. Both of them have coincidentally chosen to cover this up and not make it public. Even if we poke it out now, it might not cause them substantial damage; they'll just act it out and it will pass.

Lu Yan He: That's true.

Chen Ziyan: Actually, whether it's Chen Pinhe or Zhang Yuezhen, it's best that they have fallen out like this. With the two of them guarding against each other, the more flaws they will reveal. What I'm curious about is, without Zhang Yuezhen helping him operate, why does Parameters still have people looking for him to film? This doesn't make sense.

Lu Yan He: Does it not make sense for Parameters to look for Chen Pinhe to film? After all, he can be considered to have international fame now.

Chen Ziyan: But his previous withdrawal from *Doomsday* made several Parameters executives unhappy. Such a big project was almost shelved.

Lu Yan He: Yes, Zebby also said Bowie was very angry.

Chen Ziyan: So, originally, for an Asian actor to want to play the male lead in a Hollywood film project, the opportunities are sparse. Do you think if such a role appeared, they would prioritize looking for an actor who once made them unhappy?

From a common-sense perspective, they shouldn't.

After a while, Chen Ziyan sent a message: As expected.

Lu Yan He:? As expected what?

Chen Ziyan said: Just checked, after Zhang Yuezhen was no longer responsible for Chen Pinhe's management work, Chen Pinhe's current agent in the United States is Jennifer Harrison. Jennifer Harrison's husband is River Wenduo's younger brother.

Lu Yan He: Nepotism, huh.

Chen Ziyan: Chen Pinhe has quite wild ways; he found a new agent so quickly. This Jennifer Harrison also took the initiative to contact me before, wanting to take over Darren Wilson's work. She is also one of the agents and executives at the Williams Agency.

Lu Yan He: But isn't this against the rules? Does Parameters accept such behavior from River Wenduo?

Chen Ziyan: Procedurally, there are no flaws to be found. And, as you said, Chen Pinhe is not a nobody. With such a relationship endorsement, it's actually harder for others at Parameters to oppose Chen Pinhe starring in this project because of past events; after all, it's not that big of a project.

Lu Yan He understood what Chen Ziyan meant.

It was indeed so.

Even, if Jennifer Harrison is Chen Pinhe's agent, this relationship would instead become a bargaining chip in River Wenduo's hands, solidifying his position at Parameters.

If Chen Pinhe performs better in movies, River Wenduo would be like Zebby Doyle is now, because of his relationship with Lu Yan He, his momentum at Parameters has been surging these past few years.

Chen Pinhe now belongs to the category of having established a firm foothold in streaming series thanks to *Seventeen Layers: Reboot* and *Death Stranding*.

He is also a veteran Chinese Best Actor with high status in the film industry.

Although, if we really talk about his performance in movies, especially in Europe and America, he hasn't achieved much yet. However, he can't help but have strong momentum now, with several film projects on the way.

Lu Yan He put down his phone and pondered for a moment.

Does Chen Pinhe have anything to do with the incident of pushing him into the river back then?

This matter is very important.

Between him and Chen Pinhe, it is impossible to mend the relationship in this lifetime.

This point is certain.

But regarding Chen Pinhe, whether to take the initiative to attack and retaliate to the end in the future, or just keep the status quo like now, making Chen Pinhe uncomfortable and miserable within his power, is something Lu Yan He hasn't figured out yet.

Although these things don't need to be figured out immediately.

In Lu Yan He's heart, what he truly cannot let go of is the reason he came to this world—the death of his predecessor.

"Buzz—" The phone suddenly vibrated.

Lu Yan He came back to his senses from his thoughts and picked up the phone to look.

Chen Ziyan sent a live stream sharing link.

She said: Ma Zhiyuan has started a live stream, accusing Zhou Ping'an in the stream.

Lu Yan He: Ah?

"He's a fucking lunatic!"

Zhou Ping'an called Ma Zhiyuan twice in a fit of rage.

As a result, Ma Zhiyuan actually showed his phone screen directly in front of the live stream camera, mocking him.

"Look, he's anxious at this moment, starting to call me frantically!"

"Tell me, should I answer his call?"

"How about I live stream my call with him."

The barrage of comments was almost lagging.

The number of viewers in the live stream room was growing almost explosively.

Ma Zhiyuan: "Can you believe it? For the movie *Scumbag*, with hundreds of millions in box office, they actually wanted me to agree to accept a salary of 500,000 for the sequel. They said my reputation is ruined, said the audience won't buy it, said all kinds of reasons, but they weren't refusing me to act, they were trying every way to suppress my salary, to suck my blood!"

A touch of madness appeared on Ma Zhiyuan's face.

"That's it, that's it." Ma Zhiyuan paced back and forth in front of the camera, seemingly unable to accept it. "The most critical thing is, he and Yu Jiang, this pair of dogs, actually had a private deal! Fuck them!"

Lu Yan He widened his eyes in shock.

He had seen Ma Zhiyuan go crazy, but he had never seen Ma Zhiyuan go crazy directly in front of the camera.

And going so—

Disregarding his image.

"I've broken the jar and let it fall anyway, whatever happens, happens. At worst, I won't act in that shitty movie anymore!"

Ma Zhiyuan roared at the camera.

"You say I only deserve a salary of 500,000? Not even deserving of 500,000?" Ma Zhiyuan sneered. "Then listen to what Zhou Ping'an has done behind my back!"

He took out his phone, tapped it, not knowing what he tapped, and then, Zhou Ping'an's voice played from the phone.

"Leave the male lead role to me. I have a male actor under me who is not bad. I'll help you get Ma Zhiyuan to agree to continue starring for 500,000."

Once this recording played, the barrage exploded again.

Ma Zhiyuan roared: "Now do you know what Zhou Ping'an did to me?! Huh?! Heh, Zhou Ping'an, using me to pave the way for the other actors under you? You kind of villain, one way to my face, another behind my back! Sacrificing my interests to satisfy your interests!"

Zhou Ping'an's face turned ashen.

The few people around fell silent for a moment.

Zhou Ping'an's eyes were gloomy, and he said: "Find someone to come over and see if my office has been bugged." Someone went immediately.

How could this conversation be heard by Ma Zhiyuan?

Zhou Ping'an finally knew why Ma Zhiyuan went crazy.

However, what Zhou Ping'an cared about now was no longer Ma Zhiyuan going crazy.

Ma Zhiyuan actually had a recording of his private phone calls with others!

If this was the case, what about his calls with others?

With so many secrets, how much did Ma Zhiyuan have in his hands?

Zhou Ping'an looked angry on the surface, but in reality, his heart had already leaked a hole, starting to let in wind, with no bottom.

Was the so-called evidence in Ma Zhiyuan's hands of Star Entertainment suppressing Lu Yan He also such a recording?

The name Zhou Ping'an had already rushed to the hot search.

The upward trend was unstoppable.

The real-time online viewers in Ma Zhiyuan's live stream room even exceeded 8 million.

There were still many new viewers pouring in.

Ma Zhiyuan was still continuing to expose Zhou Ping'an's various evil deeds as an agent in the past.

Even not hesitating to self-destruct.

For example, deliberately ruining some of Li Zhibai's projects back then, for example, telling Yan Liang that he was not as good as Lu Yan He and Li Zhibai and couldn't take the idol route.

Ma Zhiyuan said angrily that he was blind to find Zhou Ping'an as his agent. After the incident, he didn't get any help, relying entirely on himself to struggle to stay, doing live streams, selling goods, filming web movies; even the movie *Scumbag* was fought for by himself; Zhou Ping'an didn't help him at all.

And so on.

This grand occasion made everyone eat the melon extremely excitedly.

And many "rumors" that had once circulated in the internet world were finally verified in this madness of his.

For example, the truth about Li Zhibai and Yan Liang leaving Zhou Ping'an one after another.

In the barrage, many people were asking, what about Lu Yan He?

At first, Lu Yan He was also Zhou Ping'an's artist.

Ma Zhiyuan scolded Zhou Ping'an in the live stream room, and incidentally scolded Yu Jiang, for about half an hour. He said: "Many of you want to know the story between Lu Yan He and Zhou Ping'an, right? Lu Yan He, I'll give you half an hour. If you don't want me to say it, you contact me. Within half an hour, if you don't contact me, I'll continue."

After saying this, he ended the live stream.

Lu Yan He: "?"

What the hell?

You were scolding people well in your live stream, why did you suddenly hand the choice to me?

Lu Yan He didn't know what to say for a moment.

He sent a message to Chen Ziyan immediately: Let him be, I'm too lazy to respond.

Chen Ziyan: Okay, the PR team is already prepared.

Lu Yan He posted another Weibo: At the airport, about to board the plane back to the country. Not familiar, say whatever you want, just remind you one thing: don't spread rumors, I will call the police.

Li Zhibai, watching the fun, appeared in the comment section: Sigh, I was quite relieved when he scolded Zhou Ping'an, but his brain is still abnormal, why did he suddenly point at you.

Yan Liang: Because he is not like me, even if ridiculed by Zhou Ping'an, he still doesn't envy you.

Chen Siqi: Hurry back, waiting for you at home.

In this live stream, Ma Zhiyuan had positioned himself as a victim from the beginning.

However, from the beginning, no one treated him as a victim.

Almost the mainstream voice was scolding him for deserving it.

This was Ma Zhiyuan's own doing.

However, Ma Zhiyuan himself turned a blind eye to such voices. He seemed to no longer take everyone's evaluation of him to heart, having a sense of madness of wanting to die together.

Lu Yan He's response was tantamount to "adding fuel to the fire" for this carnival.

As for what Ma Zhiyuan would actually say in the live stream—

The problem that had been bothering Lu Yan He was suddenly solved at that moment.

He could choose not to take the initiative to face the exposure of his true relationship with Chen Pinhe, but he would definitely not let this matter become a handle for others to threaten and restrain him.

So, if Ma Zhiyuan wanted to expose it, let him expose it—if what he wanted to say was really related to Chen Pinhe.

Zhou Ping'an was in a cold sweat.

He never thought that Ma Zhiyuan had really secretly installed eavesdropping equipment in his office.

His face turned black.

He kept thinking in his mind what he had said in the office during this period.

Of course, under the advice of the company's legal department, he also called the police immediately.

Eavesdropping is illegal.

In any case, Ma Zhiyuan must be controlled first.

Who knows what new things he would spill out.

Deputy General Ma's calls came in one after another.

Zhou Ping'an ignored them all.

At this time, he didn't want to answer Ma Zhongquan's call at all.

Besides questioning him about what was going on, he couldn't provide any substantial help.

Zhou Ping'an stayed in the room alone, carefully thinking about which people he had called in the office during this period and what he had said.

He had to prepare for two possibilities.

In case Ma Zhiyuan really said something he shouldn't have, how should he remedy it.

The phone rang.

The person calling was Zhang Yuezhen.

Chen Pinhe looked at the name on the phone screen, but his mind was blank.

If someone could observe him carefully at this moment, they would find that his hands were trembling slightly.

The amplitude of the tremor was very subtle, but very clear.

Chen Pinhe was dazed for two seconds before answering the phone.

"Did the suppression of Lu Yan He by Zhou Ping'an and Star Entertainment back then have anything to do with you? You asked Ma Zhongquan and the others for help, right?"

Zhang Yuezhen's voice on the phone sounded with a strange coldness and questioning intent.

Chen Pinhe: "Why are you asking this? In any case, this has nothing to do with you."

Zhang Yuezhen: "At this point, do you actually still think it has nothing to do with me? I knew long ago that you had an illegitimate child outside. Did you think I was always indifferent? Chen Pinhe, do you know what Ma Zhiyuan knows, and how much Zhou Ping'an knows?"

Chen Pinhe sighed and said: "I don't know, I didn't communicate with them directly. Back then, I just asked Ma Zhongquan to find a way to make Lu Yan He unable to be an artist and withdraw from the entertainment industry. Even if Ma Zhiyuan really knows something, the one affected is me, not you. You just stay in the UK and accompany Lulu well."

"Chen Pinhe, are you even listening to what I'm saying?" Zhang Yuezhen took a deep breath. "It's not just you who have done things to Lu Yan He."
