Chapter 1130: Identity Exposed, A Fight to the Death

"I'm not going; I refuse the company's arrangement."

Hong Yileng did not hesitate in the slightest, refusing point-blank.

What a joke, closed-off training would take three years; he couldn't do anything for those three years, and then after coming out three years later, do what he wanted to do?

He couldn't wait.

He didn't have that much patience.

"Do you think I'm discussing this with you?"

The agent, contrary to his previous amiability, slapped the table: "Hong Yileng, you'd better get the situation straight. You aren't the person you were three days ago; do you still have the capital to bargain with me?"

"I won't be afraid to tell you the truth: our company has been bought out. Even if I don't say it, you can guess who the people who bought the company are."

If you don't court death, you won't die; you offended people you shouldn't have offended, so you must bear the consequences."

"Take him away."

Hong Yileng was placed under house arrest and sent directly back to headquarters.

Actually, at this time, Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan did not suspect his identity!

They only thought he was a scheming actor who wanted to use Shi Ran to attach himself to their family.

However, he escaped halfway there.

If he had just run away like that, it would have been nothing, but three days later, the company headquarters received a letter.

Inside was a contract termination notice and a check.

In order to prevent the actors they worked so hard to cultivate from being poached by other companies, film and television companies would agree on a penalty of ten times the breach of contract when signing with actors.

This way, even if they wanted to climb the social ladder, they would leave a large sum of money for the company, which could be considered revenue.

Many people would do this, but 100% of them were famous and popular, and were poached by other companies at a high price, making it worth it!

The problem now is that Hong Yileng did this.

He wasn't famous; he had just started to show potential when he was ruthlessly suppressed, and he hadn't had time to make money yet, and his family's conditions were not enough to support taking out such a large penalty fee so casually!

When things go wrong, there must be a demon.

Something is wrong.

Sheng Hanyu immediately had someone re-investigate Hong Yileng.

The Apartment near the University City.

It was already dark.

Hong Yileng sat in the pitch-black living room, the lights off.

He didn't like turning on the lights now; only in a pitch-black environment did he feel a sense of security.

His nails dug into his flesh; he was filled with regret now.

His consideration had been flawed; he shouldn't have mailed the termination contract.

It would have been better to just run away; with that couple's shrewdness, they would soon suspect his identity.

After going through all kinds of hardships, bearing pain like death by a thousand cuts on his face, only to become the face he had now—was it going to end before it had even begun?

No, he was not reconciled.

He didn't want it to end like this.

Hong Yileng raised the corners of his mouth and gave a cold, sinister smile!

Don't blame him; he was forced to do this.

Shi Ran said goodbye to her parents; Mom and Dad were going back.

There were many things at home; Grandma was in the recovery period, and the younger brothers were naughty and troublesome, not one of them was worry-free; if they were out of sight for even a second, something would go wrong, not to mention that Mom and Dad had already been out for three days.

"When you go back, don't forget to give my regards to Grandpa and Grandma; tell them I miss them very much, and I'll go back when I'm on break," Shi Ran urged.

Sheng Hanyu dotingly scraped the tip of his daughter's nose, just like when she was a child: "Got it, you've already said the same thing three times. This child, what's wrong today?"

Shi Ran was not the kind of child who was good at sentimental displays; she wouldn't have said such things twice before.

"Nothing's wrong."

Her voice was a little soft, with a crying tone: "Grandma's last episode scared me, I was so afraid... but Mom is great, Aunt Nianyin is also great, the ginseng soup was delivered just in time."

When Wang Yinghao had that episode, it wasn't just Sheng Jiang and the couple who were anxious; the children at home were all just as worried, only their ways of expressing it were different.

Among the boys, except for Sheng Zirui who was introverted, the others showed it very clearly!

Sheng Zichen took the initiative to take on the role of nutritionist; he helped Grandma boil soup and make recovery meals.

Sheng Litian would be with Grandpa, helping Grandma to the living room and the courtyard to exercise.

Sheng Zihan was a chatterbox; he was mainly responsible for chatting with Grandma, coaxing Grandma to be happy, and trying every possible way to get Grandma to talk more to exercise her language recovery ability.

And as for what time period, who would go to accompany Grandma, and for how long—so as not to tire her out while achieving the best results—these things were all directed by Sheng Zirui!

Every child was using the most suitable and best way to help Grandma with her recovery exercises.

Even when Shi Ran wasn't by her side, she would send videos every day and ask after her often.

The granddaughter and grandsons brought up from childhood all had deep feelings!

"Don't worry, I will definitely tell Grandma; by the time you go back on break, Grandma will be able to recover to how she was before."

The family of three parted reluctantly, and the couple was just about to get into the car when Liu Min arrived in a hurry!

When Shi Ran saw her, she knew it was bad; it definitely wasn't anything good.

Sure enough, something had happened again.

Hong Yileng had actually gone online to play the victim, crying and complaining about the process of his "underground romance" with the wealthy young lady.

Although he didn't name names, the incident that had blown up just two days ago was spreading like wildfire and was known to everyone.

Even without mentioning the name, the enthusiastic onlookers knew exactly who was being talked about.

His ability to fabricate stories was still very strong; he managed to concoct a tale about being in mutual love with a wealthy young lady, only to be cruelly torn apart by her parents due to the vast disparity in their family backgrounds and their lack of social standing.

No matter how calm Shi Ran usually was, she could not remain calm now.

"How disgusting, how can this person be so disgusting?" Shi Youxuan wanted to stay behind to help her daughter resolve all of this.

But she was refused by her daughter; Shi Ran indicated to her parents that she had already grown up and had the ability to handle her own affairs.

Although Shi Youxuan and her husband were not entirely at ease, they still chose to respect their daughter's decision!

The couple went home.

Shi Ran, Qi Heng, Yun Qitian, and Liu Min, the four of them gathered together to think of a solution.

Liu Min: "I'll stab him once, and that will be the end of it."

The three of them:...

Yun Qitian warned: "I'm warning you not to mess around; this is Jiangzhou, not your L Country, and it's not a place where you can do whatever you want. If you cause trouble here, no one will be able to help you."

Liu Min's arrogance was no longer as blatant as before, but she was still unconvinced and muttered in a low voice: "There must be a way that is both satisfying and doesn't break the law."

No one paid her any mind; this person was used to being whimsical and willful, so there was no need to pay attention to her.

Qi Heng had been rash when he was young, and he had become much more steady after growing up, but he actually came up with a method similar to Liu Min's!

He wanted to get Hong Yileng to L Country, and then... leave the rest to him!

Yun Qitian and Shi Ran both opposed it.

Yun Qitian had grown up with everything going smoothly as a top student; although he was the oldest among the four, he was the most innocent.

He had seen too little ugliness and also refused to fight evil with evil.

As for Shi Ran, she wanted to resolve it herself.

This matter could be big or small, and he could not be allowed to spout nonsense and continue to expand his influence.

Yun Qitian supported her, while Qi Heng and Liu Min held reservations but still chose to respect Shi Ran's opinion, letting her try first, and if she failed, they would use other methods.

Shi Ran decided on an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
