Chapter 210: First Love Humiliated, Apprehending Shen Bing

This wave of getting rich quick, a moment's carelessness let Lin Dongfan be caught off guard—purely an unexpected delight, as anticipated.

Lin Dongfan sat in the bureau chief's big chair, smoking the cigarette the bureau chief had personally picked, watching the bureau chief bow and hold his breath in flattery, he genuinely felt a bit emotional.

The allure of legal get-rich-quick is damn huge—even the upright Bureau Chief Li can be won over.

Lin Dongfan tapped his ash: "Bureau Chief Li, I still have a big hat of \"unexplained huge property\" on my head; I should be able to take it off now, right?"

"Take it off, must take it off." Li Mingtang angrily snapped: "I don't know which brainless idiot keeps filing false reports. The Z Discipline Inspection Commission people are also blind—they hear wind and think it's rain."

Cough—cough!

Lin Dongfan cleared his throat twice,

Smiling, he reminded: "Bureau Chief Li, you dare to scold even the central‑level ones?"

"You've got several billion in legal assets—what are you afraid of, a little lamp?" Li Mingtang lit a cigarette, sat opposite Lin Dongfan, and said: "Master Fan, what stocks will we buy tomorrow?"

"This is fully handled by my trading assistant Yu Youwei." Lin Dongfan tossed Li Mingtang a business card: "For the trading and stock speculation, talk to her."

"Master Fan, so magnanimous!"

Li Mingtang caught the card, glanced at it—as if he'd found a treasure—and smiled so wide he couldn't close his mouth.

Probably from over‑excitement, his brain was monopolized by the two words "get rich quick," and Li Mingtang forgot to turn in Lin Dongfan's property declaration to the Discipline Inspection Department.

The next morning at nine o'clock.

Lin Dongfan got a call from the Z Discipline Inspection Commission asking him to come explain the situation.

Lin Dongfan wondered, asking: "I already declared my assets—what more do I need to explain?"

"Just come when you're told! Don't ask so many questions." The caller was a man, his tone aggressive, as if Lin Dongfan had really committed some major offense.

I'll come, your grandpa!

Lin Dongfan thought Bureau Chief Li was absolutely right—several billion in legal, compliant assets, what's there to fear, a little lamp?

The phone hung up.

Lin Dongfan brought one male and one female investigator straight to the Movie City Grand Hotel.

Today nothing is more important than apprehending Shen Bing.

The movie Very Awkward, whose initial script was written by Lin Dongfan and invested and filmed by Shangshi Media Company, has wrapped; today a celebration banquet is being held at the Movie City Grand Hotel, and Shen Bing will also attend to show support.

The banquet hall.

Today the hall was packed with stars and distinguished guests.

Free champagne was stacked nine layers high into a pyramid. The comedy world's three big "Ugly Bros" were all there, plus the rising female star Miss Fan.

It's worth noting that as Ye Jiaying walked among those glamorous stars, her bearing yielded to no one; as an executive she easily commanded the whole scene.

Exactly ten o'clock in the morning.

Shen Bing, dressed in splendid formal attire, arrived punctually at the celebration banquet venue.

Given Shen Bing's authority over film‑project approvals, Ye Jiaying didn't dare neglect Elder Sister Bing, stepping forward to greet: "Elder Sister Bing, you look truly beautiful today."

Not bad.

Shen Bing gave Ye Jiaying a once‑over, and involuntarily her face showed a hint of anger.

Whether she's pretty depends on who you compare her to.

Although she was dressed up today, standing next to Ye Jiaying—who has looks, figure, and bearing—she still seemed a bit dim.

Damn idiot!

You're dressed up so finely, making all the guests treat you as a mere backdrop?

Really fucking clueless about how to be a person!

Shen Bing swallowed her anger, summoned a waiter for a glass of champagne, took a sip. She hadn't wanted to deal further with Ye Jiaying, but glancing around she didn't see Shang Keqing's shadow.

So she turned back to ask Ye Jiaying: "Where's Boss Shang?"

"Boss Shang has something sudden, can't come today." The perceptive Ye Jiaying had already sensed Shen Bing's slight hostility toward her, but she still politely greeted Shen Bing.

Earlier, when Shang Keqing called Ye Jiaying, he indeed said he had something sudden and couldn't come.

However, the true facts are not like that.

Old Shang has also become savvy, a proper old fox; knowing Lin Dongfan would come today to the celebration banquet to apprehend Shen Bing, he deliberately stayed hidden to avoid offending anyone.

Shen Bing learned that Shang Keqing would not come today.

Seizing the opportunity, she gave the dazzling Ye Jiaying a put‑down: "Your Shangshi Media, have you been too comfortable these years? So full of yourself!"

"Elder Sister Bing, what do you mean by that? I don't really understand." Facing the sharp‑tongued Shen Bing, Ye Jiaying remained respectful and handled it properly.

Shen Bing coldly questioned Ye Jiaying: "You invited me to discuss a project, but your boss didn't show up, standing me up in front of all these people! How do you explain this?"

"Elder Sister Bing, please calm down." Ye Jiaying patiently explained: "Boss Shang has authorized me; regarding the relevant film‑project, I can represent Shangshi Media Company in negotiations with you."

"You want to talk with me?"

"Elder Sister Bing, please, let's talk over there."

Ye Jiaying respectfully gestured toward the relatively quiet lounge.

Unexpectedly, Shen Bing splashed the champagne in her glass onto Ye Jiaying's face with a "pa" sound, causing Ye Jiaying to shudder.

She was dazed, soaked from head to collar.

The originally noisy banquet hall fell silent in that moment.

The surrounding guests—male or female stars, or the Very Awkward production crew—heard and came over, each showing a look of shock.

This—seems exactly the effect Shen Bing wanted.

Shen Bing laughed lightly at Ye Jiaying: "What's your status? What level? What qualifications do you have to discuss film projects with me? Today I'm just giving you a little lesson—be more savvy in life from now on."

Even a clay figurine has three parts earthiness—let alone the pure‑and‑jade Ye Jiaying.

Ye Jiaying stared unblinking at Shen Bing: "Elder Sister Bing, may I ask what I've done to offend you? Please explain yourself clearly."

Seeing Ye Jiaying actually dare to talk back.

Shen Bing's face sank with anger: "You don't understand human speech, right?"

"Please speak clearly!" Ye Jiaying said solemnly: "Whether I have the qualifications to represent the company in negotiating the project depends on whether the company has authorized me! May I ask on what basis you deny my qualifications?"

This question gets straight to the point—throwing one's weight around!

Seeing the surrounding staff and celebrities all show looks of contempt, the embarrassed and angry Shen Bing swung her hand and slapped—Pa!!

Ah! ~

Caught off guard, Ye Jiaying was slapped into a voiceless scream, and the surrounding staff dared not intervene.

Shen Bing declared arrogantly: "Now do you understand? I, Shen Bing, need only one sentence to make your Shang Clan Media disappear forever from the entertainment circle! And you are merely a hired dog of Shang Clan Media! Chatting with you for a couple of sentences is giving you face! What qualifications does a hired dog like you have to sit down and discuss a light project with me?"

!!!

Although Ye Jiaying had been stubborn all her life, she now felt helpless tears welling up, lowering her head in silence.

It wasn't that she had nothing to say, but that she couldn't say it.

She realized a serious problem: if she did not lower her head or compromise today, Shen Bing might really blacklist Shang Clan Media Company, implicating General Manager Shang.

In the face of power, General Manager Shang was merely a powerless cannon fodder.

The bald brother who directed 《Too Awkward》 suddenly came over to smooth things over: "Sister Bing, General Manager Ye drank too much, her words are a bit rash; don't take it to heart, calm down…"

"She's not drunk, she's base!"

Shen Bing glared angrily at Ye Jiayi.

Seeing Ye Jiaying keep her head lowered, sobbing uncontrollably, she dared not utter another word of rebuttal.

Shen Bing chuckled again: "I said she's base, wasn't that right? Not slapping her, she'll never know where she went wrong; now this is good, one slap and she understands…"

"Pa!"

Suddenly, a glass of alcohol accurately smashed onto Shen Bing's forehead.

Along with an "Oh wah!" cry, the slender champagne flute fell onto the red carpet, unbroken, but Shen Bing's forehead was gashed bleeding.

"Who! Who threw the wine glass? Come out!"

Shen Bing glared around in anger.

At this moment, Lin Dongfan walked over with two investigators, and Lin Dongfan also shouted: "Who? Who assaulted my suspect? Step forward!"

The two investigators behind him, both professionally trained, struggled not to laugh.

Lin Dongfan's arrival warmed the heart of the humiliated Ye Jiaying; this man always appears when she is most helpless and desperate—how should she repay him in this lifetime?

Thinking that Lin Dongfan already had a family, Ye Jiaying felt another pang of heartache.

Now Shen Bing also feels pain.

But Shen Bing's pain is not from love, but a headache.

Even a blind person could see that the wine glass just now was definitely thrown by Lin Dongfan; aside from that bastard Lin Dongfan, no one present had the guts of a bear and a leopard.

Shen Bing glared at the approaching Lin Dongfan: "Who is your suspect? As a public official, you must take responsibility for your words!"

"Don't want to be my suspect? Do you want to be my little apple instead? Getting old."

When he was still three steps away from Shen Bing, Lin Dongfan halted his steps.

This close-range pressure and mockery.

Causing Shen Bing's complexion to suddenly change.

"Old!"

"This bastard actually said I'm old!"

"Blind your dog eyes, I'm only 40—where am I old?"

A silent roar gathered inside into a ball of fury, rushing straight to Shen Bing's crown of the head!

Shen Bing coldly retorted: "Lin Dongfan, you haven't even wiped your own ass clean! Dare to come here and show off—do you think I'd be afraid of you? Hehe~"

"So much nonsense, give her a pair of handcuffs."

Lin Dongfan waved his hand, and the two investigators beside him immediately stepped forward to subdue Shen Bing. The male held her shoulder and elbow, the female applied the handcuffs. Working in perfect sync, they ended Shen Bing's freedom in just three seconds.

Shen Bing exploded in anger: "Lin Dongfan! On what grounds do you arrest me!"

"Based on this."

Lin Dongfan produced an arrest warrant, and Shen Bing's face instantly turned ashen.

Just as Shen Bing was at a loss, a person from the Z Discipline Inspection Commission suddenly walked in: "Section Chief Lin, please come with us!" This cold voice left the onlookers dumbfounded again.

This damn plot is more explosive than his damn movie blockbuster!

Could there be a thrilling twist?
