Chapter 970: Sleepless Night

Lu Yan He was almost pushed into the river and drowned?!

It wasn't until Chen Pinhe saw this news that he realized what Zhang Yuezhen meant on the phone earlier.

He was shocked and stunned, and even a bit unable to react.

How did she dare?!

Chen Pinhe was in disbelief.

However, the facts were already in front of him.

Believe it or not, he had to believe it.

Chen Pinhe felt a chill in his feet.

The attitude that had warmed up a bit after the phone call with Zhang Yuezhen instantly cooled down, as if it had been dragged to the polar region.

How did she dare?!

That was his son!

Chen Pinhe called Zhang Yuezhen angrily.

But this time Zhang Yuezhen didn't answer the phone again.

No wonder!

No wonder!

Chen Pinhe had actually never understood why Lu Yan He targeted him and took revenge on him again and again.

Even if he had wanted to expel him before.

No wonder Zhang Yuezhen cared so much about Lu Yan He's affairs!

"Mom, did you see the news?" He Chunlai ran over excitedly with his phone, which left Feng Xiu confused.

Feng Xiu said: "What news? I can't understand the news here."

After coming to the United States, Feng Xiu still hadn't learned English properly.

How could she watch the news?

He Chunlai had a look of complaint, "How can you not know this?"

"Mom, I'm talking about domestic news. There is a celebrity in the country named Ma Zhiyuan, and he said a lot of things about Lu Yan He."

Feng Xiu's face changed instantly.

"What did he say?"

He Chunlai spoke very fast, picking out the important information and telling his mother.

"Who do you say is behind wanting to kill him?"

"How would I know?" Feng Xiu said after listening, a bit lost. She rolled her eyes at her son. "Isn't it good if he dies? Anyway, he is not married now. If he really dies, according to legal relationships, all his assets can be inherited by you."

He Chunlai: "……Mom, why is he unwilling to be close to us? Aren't we his last relatives?"

"He's an ungrateful wretch. We worked hard to bring him from his hometown, but it turns out that once he became famous, he didn't recognize us." Feng Xiu said angrily.

"But, wasn't sending us to the United States arranged by him? He arranged for me to go to a noble high school here and helped you find a job." He Chunlai said. "Isn't that what the person who arranged for us to come here said? Is he just being stubborn?"

Feng Xiu: "You believe that too? Who knows if what he said is true or false."

He Chunlai: "Besides him, who else would do these things?"

Feng Xiu didn't know how to answer her son's question either.

"Why don't we speak up for him? You treated him badly before, and he was unwilling to be close to you. Now, at this time, if we stand up to support him, will he be moved by us?" He Chunlai said. "In any case, we are also his relatives."

Feng Xiu fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

"They must absolutely not be allowed to get involved at this time!" Zhang Yuezhen ordered in a panic. "Are there no actions from Chen Pinhe's side? Is he willing to let these two continue to add fuel to the fire?"

"People on Chen Pinhe's side are also contacting Chen Pinhe now." He Yuan said. "Miss, do I need to go and control them now? But if I do, my existence will be exposed. At least Chen Pinhe's side will know that I am also watching Feng Xiu and He Chunlai."

Zhang Yuezhen said: "The most important thing now is to prevent them from saying things that shouldn't be said!"

"According to my observations these days, they actually don't know Lu Yan He's true identity." He Yuan said. "Lu Yan He's parents seem not to have told their family the truth about this matter."

Zhang Yuezhen: "Observation, seem—if you can't be 100% sure, don't gamble. And, even if they don't know Lu Yan He's true identity, they know that Lu Yan He's mother was once Chen Pinhe's assistant. Although they signed a confidentiality agreement about this matter long ago, what if they let it slip—"

"I understand. I will go and control them immediately." He Yuan said. "If necessary, I will handle it as an accident."

Zhang Yuezhen: "Handle it quickly, lest there be long delays. Come to the UK to find me directly after handling it."

"Good."

He Yuan hung up the phone.

"It's almost midnight. Zhou Ping'an still hasn't posted. Is he going to post or not?"

This night, many people came to the Lingyang District and stayed in Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi's home.

Only here was the space large enough for Chen Ziyan, Lu Qingzhen, and the colleagues responsible for online public opinion monitoring and public relations to communicate at any time and handle emergencies.

After Lu Yan He returned from the airport, he took a shower and was now sitting on the sofa with Chen Siqi, watching everyone busy.

Chen Siqi held Lu Yan He's hand, comforting him with her eyes.

In fact, there were still many people in this room who didn't know about Lu Yan He and Chen Pinhe.

Things hadn't reached the point where everyone needed to be told about this.

Chen Siqi said: "Can the filming of 'Friends' be postponed? Is there such an arrangement?"

Lu Yan He shook his head.

"It's okay, I've already prepared myself mentally. No matter what happens, I can film this play."

Chen Siqi nodded.

"Ma Zhiyuan—" She mentioned this name, wanting to say something but stopping, and finally sighed long.

"Will Ma Zhiyuan's illegal eavesdropping on Zhou Ping'an send him to jail?"

"That wouldn't go that far." Chen Qin shook his head.

As the only old classmate around Lu Yan He who studied law and is now responsible for legal affairs at Linghe, Chen Qin was also here today.

Chen Qin said: "However, once the illegal fact is confirmed, he will become an artist with a tainted record, and he will truly be banned by mainstream media in the future. It won't be the kind of market ban as before."

"Good thing." Lu Qingzhen said bluntly. "With such a madman around for a day, no one will be at peace, and even Yan He has to bear these things for no reason."

"Zhou Ping'an is a small disaster, Ma Zhiyuan is a big disaster. When a big disaster and a small disaster mix together, it's a super disaster." Lin Yu said.

Chen Ziyan and Lu Yan He looked at each other at this moment.

They both understood what the other meant—

Right now, it doesn't even count as the power of a small disaster.

"He posted!" Suddenly, Wang Biao shouted.

Everyone picked up their phones in unison.

Lu Yan He also opened his phone immediately.

He slid down directly to the end.

Zhou Ping'an kept those two sentences.

——I don't know who is behind the suppression of Lu Yan He, or who almost caused Lu Yan He to drown in the river back then, but someone must know. I wrote this statement today, half for you to see, and half for those who know about this matter to see.

——@Star Entertainment Vice President Ma Zhongquan, all the instructions I received back then came from you. Don't hide behind and not speak anymore. Stand up. Who is it that wants to drive Lu Yan He out of the entertainment industry?

The phone buzzed.

The caller was actually Li Zhenzhen.

To Lu Yan He's surprise. Lu Yan He thought Li Zhenzhen was here to comfort him.

He answered the phone, "Sister Zhenzhen—"

"It's Chen Pinhe!" Li Zhenzhen's voice sounded a bit breathless. "Yan He, I just figured it out. The person who asked my dad to suppress you at the Beijing Station back then was Chen Pinhe."

Lu Yan He was stunned.

"Did you already know it was him?" Li Zhenzhen asked. "Thinking about it, how could you have formed such a deep feud with him just because of a movie competition? This is not you at all. It turns out there were signs long ago."

Lu Yan He listened to Li Zhenzhen's words and laughed silently for a moment, a very lonely laugh.

"Yes, I knew it before, but thank you anyway, Sister Zhenzhen."

Being able to call at this time.

"No, Yan He." Li Zhenzhen took a deep breath. "I know you've been looking for Chen Mo. I found her."

"What?" Lu Yan He hadn't heard the name Chen Mo for a long time.

"At that time, she was instigated by Chen Pinhe to secretly touch your laptop. She said she wanted to steal the ideas in your computer, but that wasn't the case at all, right?"

"She installed a Trojan program on my computer and stole some data, including my chat records with others online." Lu Yan He said.

Li Zhenzhen: "She was arranged into 'Young Days' through my dad's hands. I just found out about this, but it also reminded me. I retrieved some of her information from back then and compared it with some information in my dad's hands, and found her information. I think you will need it. I'll send it to you."

Lu Yan He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he didn't know how to say them.

"Yan He, I'm sorry for what my dad did to you in the past. If I had known earlier, I would definitely have stopped him." Li Zhenzhen said. "Really, I'm sorry."

Lu Yan He fell silent for two seconds and laughed.

He said: "It's okay, Sister Zhenzhen. Although your dad is very excessive, fortunately, you are very good."

This statement released by Zhou Ping'an at midnight caused a huge uproar.

Even though it was midnight, it exploded with overwhelming force.

Ma Zhongquan's name followed closely and went on the trending search.

Subsequently, Ma Zhongquan's resume began to be collected and organized by various people.

No one can withstand being examined by someone with a magnifying glass, let alone being examined by the whole internet with a magnifying glass.

All kinds of things and news, even a sentence Ma Zhongquan once scolded a subordinate, were dug out and criticized.

And after Zhou Ping'an's statement came out, the voices accusing him instantly became much smaller.

Because a new target appeared.

"Ma Zhongquan shouldn't stand up to respond tonight." Lu Qingzhen said. "In fact, he probably won't respond."

"Star Entertainment needs to stand up and respond, such a big company." Lin Yu said. "Unless they don't care about the company's profits either."

"Ma Zhongquan is the vice president. The only one who can threaten him is the boss of Star Entertainment."

"Ma Zhongquan has been under a lot of pressure recently. First-tier artists have left one after another, and capable agents like Zhou Ping'an and Lin Suyang have also left. Now the strength of Star Entertainment and Woodpecker is not as good as before. If it weren't for the fact that the boss behind this company really didn't focus on this company, Ma Zhongquan would have been driven away long ago."

"Now public opinion might force the boss behind this company." Lin Yu looked at Chen Ziyan and Lu Qingzhen. "Sister Ziyan, Sister Qingzhen, what is the capital behind Star Entertainment? Who is their boss?"

"Is it Hong Qi?"

"No, he is just the executive CEO." Chen Ziyan said. "However, Lin Yu, you are right. Now someone on the internet has started to dig into the capital background behind Star Entertainment. This is what the boss behind the scenes least wants to see. So, I think, maybe Ma Zhongquan will stand up and respond soon. He must throw out a bigger bait to divert the attention of these fish. Zhou Ping'an obviously knows this too."

As soon as the voice fell, Chen Ziyan's phone rang.

She picked it up and took a look, her face changed immediately. She didn't answer immediately but turned and went to the next room.

Lu Yan He looked at her in surprise as she closed the door of the next room. Curious, who called, making Sister Ziyan so cautious? -

Zhou Ping'an's phone had been set to silent mode.

The phone calls had never stopped.

The number of missed calls from Ma Zhongquan had reached 24.

After experiencing the panic brought by Ma Zhiyuan's livestream, at this moment, he was actually in a strange state of calm.

He even had the leisure to pour himself a glass of wine, stand by the window, and look at the night scene outside and the silver glow woven by the moonlight.

When he released that statement, he was destined to have no way back.

And Ma Zhongquan's calls didn't need to be answered at all.

What Ma Zhongquan's reaction is, whether he stands up or plays dead to the end, is his own business.

Zhou Ping'an smiled slightly.

After tonight's battle, he knew very well that he couldn't stay in Shijin any longer.

Shijin could accept an executive with many problems, but it could never tolerate an executive who directly roasted the former company on the fire.

Zhou Ping'an had thought it all through.

He had to do this.

He absolutely could not compromise for the sake of Shijin when Ma Zhiyuan aimed his guns at him.

No need.

He had now reached the point where he could attack or defend.

Why ruin his reputation?

Suddenly, another phone in his pocket rang.

This was his private phone.

Only very close people knew this number.

Zhou Ping'an took a look; it was actually his mother calling.

"Mom, why haven't you slept so late?"

"How could I sleep?" His mother said. "I felt relieved after seeing you release that statement. I was really afraid you would do something wrong."

"It's inevitable to do something wrong, but how could I do such a heartless thing? Mom, you have too little confidence in me."

His mother: "Then how are you now?"

"Pretty good." Zhou Ping'an said. "I'll go resign early tomorrow morning. I'll take a good rest for a while. Mom, why don't you accompany me on a world tour?"

"Not working anymore?"

"I still have to work. After I've rested enough and the limelight has passed, I'll come back." Zhou Ping'an said. "Mom, I paid a very heavy price to pay back a favor for you."

"What?"

"Lu Yan He. Didn't he help you when you were almost bullied on the subway back then?" Zhou Ping'an said. "Originally, I thought, why not just stop there, no need to be so extreme, but it's not good to owe him a favor, so being extreme is being extreme. At least the favor is paid, and I don't owe him anymore."

"Then you did the right thing."

"Come to Yuming tomorrow, Mom. Let's plan the world tour."

"Okay!" ===== CHAPTER 971 =====
