Chapter 204

Kang Shaoxiong was so angry he vomited blood, and was quickly carried away.

This made Lin Dongfan feel many emotions; this big shot who once dominated the bureau would rather vomit three liters of blood himself than bite back at those people on the oil chain.

It is clear that those people on the oil chain are indeed not to be messed with.

The burden is heavy and the road long!

They are a bunch of scumbags who eat people without spitting bones, capable of anything.

For safety considerations.

As soon as Lin Dongfan walked out of the detention center, he called Peng Tianhua: "Old Peng, has the psychiatric evaluation of Huang Suying been completed?"

"It's being done."

"She is now the sole eyewitness to Song Wen's killing; after the psychiatric evaluation, don't let her go home, and arrange a concealed residence for her, first to protect her."

"Section Chief Lin, is Kang Shaoxiong's side not cooperating?"

"Those behind dare to kill Song Wen, so they dare to kill Kang Shaoxiong and Huang Suying. I estimate Kang Shaoxiong isn't unwilling to earn merit for a reduced sentence; he's mainly afraid of death."

"Understood, I will carefully arrange Huang Suying's safety."

"Then let's do that; report any developments to me at any time."

After hanging up, Lin Dongfan drove to Red Shadow Media Company, intending to meet Shen Bing.

Three years ago, although Shen Bing resigned from the Haikuang Group, she did not leave the power circle. Red Shadow Media Company is a company she founded relying on behind-the-scenes power.

Now people in the film and television circle all call her Ice Sister.

A forty-year-old woman, she has a knack for making money; the Red Shadow Media Company she founded does not directly participate in filming film and television works, but every year it brings in several billion in revenue.

Ice Sister's game is just getting something for nothing.

Last year, she went into Nanzhou's Shangshi Media Company, threw a military-themed script at Shang Keqing's face, and asked Shang Keqing: "Are you interested in shooting this drama?"

Shang Keqing opened the script and took a look; his interest was quite strong.

At that time, "Soldiers' Sortie" was a hit across the screen; military-themed works had become a hot item many investors paid attention to, and moreover, mainstream themes were easy to apply for special subsidies and tax preferences.

The bigwigs in the circle all wanted to jump on the bandwagon while it was hot.

However, that kind of drama is not something just anyone who wants to film can actually film.

Shang Keqing then regrettably sighed: "The script is good, but it's very hard to pass review; it needs strong support from the relevant authorities to be filmed."

Shen Bing chuckled and gave a guarantee: "You film the TV drama; I'll handle getting it past review. Later, you just need to give our Red Shadow Media Company a co-production credit."

Just hearing the first half, it sounds like that—righteous!

Then listen to the second half.

Shang Keqing then felt like a mute eating coptis—wanting to complain but having nowhere to vent.

The reason is simple; the other side is playing a power game!

Shen Bing has the ability to get sensitive topics past review, so naturally she also has the ability to block nonsensitive topics! If you don't agree to her, she can at any time make your invested film and television project unable to be released.

The sensible Shang Keqing could only finally bear the pain and cut his losses.

Shen Bing doesn't need to invest a single penny, becoming one of the co-producers, sharing the film and television copyright. After the work is produced, if it loses money, she suffers no loss; if it makes money, she gets dividends according to the production agreement.

One move of getting something for nothing, after sucking the east family dry she moves on to the west family.

Relying on the two words "red" she walks sideways in the circle.

However, in Lin Dongfan's eyes, Shen Bing's "red" is merely a "false red"; strictly speaking, it is a tarnishing of the two words "red", not worth a blow!

What does Auntie Xie Yixin do?

She manages this; a casual remark can cut off Shen Bing's illegal income.

Lin Dongfan brought two investigators into Red Shadow Media Company, directly showing his work ID to the front desk miss: "Where is Manager Shen's office? Lead the way."

The front desk miss jumped in fright: "What are you guys doing..."

"Please cooperate with the investigation, lead the way."

Lin Dongfan gave an order.

The front desk miss didn't dare to even fart, immediately waving and leading the way: "Please come this way." As she pushed open the door to Manager Shen's office, Lin Dongfan couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.

The office was empty.

The front desk miss called over Shen Bing's secretary, a capable-looking professional woman named Bai Xiaoshuang.

Lin Dongfan directly asked: "Where is Shen Bing?"

"Section Chief Lin, please have a seat for a moment." Bai Xiaoshuang obviously sensed the crisis, personally brewed a few cups of coffee for Lin Dongfan and the others, not daring to be slow.

While finding something to do, she sat down again to chat: "Section Chief, our Manager Shen is a very busy person, most of her time is spent outside discussing cooperation. To be honest, I don't even know where she is right now."

Damn, spouting nonsense in front of a real person, trying to pull a fast one on me?

Lin Dongfan calmly ordered: "Call her back immediately."

"Section Chief Lin, what exactly do you want with our Manager Shen? Can you tell me? If it's something I can help resolve, I'll do my best." Bai Xiaoshuang tried to fish for information.

Lin Dongfan's face darkened slightly: "I told you to call, are you not understanding or what?"

"Section Chief Lin, don't get angry, I'll go make the call now." Seeing that Lin Dongfan wasn't giving face, Bai Xiaoshuang didn't dare to confront him directly, got up intending to leave.

Lin Dongfan coldly shouted: "Sit down! Make the call right here, think of a way to get her back."

"Then... okay..."

Bai Xiaoshuang embarrassingly sat back on the sofa.

In front of Lin Dongfan and the others, she took out her phone and dialed Shen Bing's number: "Hello, Ice Sister, fa..."

Before she could finish stating the unit's name, Lin Dongfan angrily snatched the phone.

He directly hung up.

Lin Dongfan coldly warned Bai Xiaoshuang: "Don't play tricks with me! Just say that Shang Keqing of Shangshi Media is looking for her to discuss cooperation, waiting in the office, and ask her to come over."

"I... understand..."

Bai Xiaoshuang was so frightened her heart pounded, and she at once dared not play any more tricks.

She called Shen Bing again.

She turned on the speakerphone and said, "Hey, Sis Bing, my phone just died. Where are you now? Manager Shang of Shang Clan Media is waiting for you in the office; there's a project we need to discuss face-to-face."

"Now?"

"Yes, exactly now."

"I can't go back right now; I'm abroad and can only return to Jing on the weekend."

"Then what about Manager Shang here..."

"His movie 'Too Awkward' is already finished, right? Tell him I'll go cheer him on then, and we can discuss anything at the celebration banquet."

Hearing Shen Bing say that, Bai Xiaoshuang didn't know how to respond and glanced at Lin Dongfan.

Seeing Lin Dongfan nod in agreement.

Then Bai Xiaoshuang replied to Shen Bing, "Alright then."

After she hung up the phone.

Lin Dongfan again reached his hand toward Bai Xiaoshuang and said, "Please hand over your phone and come with us. Before Shen Bing returns to the country, you cannot contact anyone else."

"!!!"

Bai Xiaoshuang was momentarily speechless.

However, she had been Shen Bing's secretary for two years, knew a bit about Shen Bing's affairs, and felt Lin Dongfan's action was completely unnecessary.

Bai Xiaoshuang handed her phone to Lin Dongfan and said, "Actually you don't need to do this; Sis Bing doesn't even regard you people, she couldn't possibly flee."

Cut the nonsense, let's go.

To be honest, Lin Dongfan also felt Shen Bing wouldn't stay abroad and not return, after all her base is domestically, but precautions still need to be taken.
