Chapter 567: Topple the Sumiyoshi Association

~7 min read 1,275 words

Yang Qing's face darkened immediately after he received Liu Ru Yan's call and heard her reasoning.

No need to think; it must be those bastards from Hailaowu (Place).

Since Li Long and Mao Ying retired, their conflict with Azure Rainbow Media has been growing.

Azure Rainbow Media's films no longer need them for distribution; that is, they can't even earn money from distribution.

Even Star Wars is in Azure Rainbow Media's hands, Immortal Gods Code is in their hands, and even the recently popular Wu Zetian the Great Emperor belongs to them.

A large amount of benefit was taken by Azure Rainbow.

Moreover, the Deduction Fund jointly established by Azure Rainbow Media and Lucas (Character) (Character) constantly nurtures one wild director and actor after another to compete with Hailaowu (Place) for business.

Anyone would be angry if this happened to them.

Their manner of eating is too ugly.

If not you, then who?

Moreover, Little Japan is their Yingjiang's colony; using their hands to snipe Azure Rainbow Media couldn't be better.

Yang Qing overnight had Headline Daily open a special edition to report on Cheng Long's affairs and posted all the evidence.

The special edition was also reported in East Asia.

The public opinion war is far more important than Cheng Long's case.

This is the first move; whoever gets the first move gains the initiative.

For this first move, Yang Qing directly chartered a plane to push forward media coverage.

When the newspaper was printed the next day.

Reports smearing Cheng Long and reports seeking justice for Cheng Long appeared simultaneously in the capital.

Yang Qing subsequently assembled an extremely luxurious lawyer team to seek justice for Cheng Long.

And the movie's roadshow continued.

The less the enemy wants you to do something, the more you must do it.

Don't hesitate, looking back and forth.

The best defense is offense.

Spielberg didn't expect such a thing to happen.

After seeing the detailed materials Yang Qing sent over, he was furious.

Immortal Gods Code is his lifeblood; damaging its reputation is to be at odds with him, Spielberg.

Lucas (Character) (Character) worried.

"You really want to go; doing this will likely offend them."

Spielberg snorted.

"You're already tied to Azure Rainbow Media; what choice do I have?"

"We're good brothers; I won't watch you bear it alone."

"We two brothers will just fight them."

Lucas (Character) (Character) didn't know what to say; they indeed targeted him, but are they really the same kind of people? Is it worth going to such lengths for an outsider?

This was his doubt, so he blurted it out.

"Steve, is this worth it?"

Spielberg thought of Yang Qing and everything about Eternal Splendor.

That was an ideal world.

Unlike Hailaowu (Place), which is purely a world of exploitation.

Between ethnicity and conscience, he chose conscience.

If he watches a company like Azure Rainbow Media go bankrupt and does nothing, he feels he himself is a villain.

"It's worth it, George; you haven't been to Eternal Splendor, but if you go, you'll understand—it's a fantastic company."

Lucas (Character) (Character) said nothing more, for he saw light in Spielberg's eyes—the light of hope.

The news that Spielberg would take over from Cheng Long and continue the roadshow brought greater heat to Immortal Gods Code.

Meanwhile, people all over the world, while eating melon, watched the protagonist of Immortal Gods Code sue the Sumiyoshi Association.

Meanwhile, they watched the Immortal Gods Code roadshow team release one exciting poster after another.

They could say they were full from eating.

When the news that the Sumiyoshi Association was a gang spread, public opinion immediately erupted.

Damn it, one by one they cried and feigned innocence, accusing Cheng Long of murder and injury.

It turns out you are a gang.

Look at the upstanding citizen Cheng Long—you hacked him with so many knives, beat him so brutally; who is the villain? Isn't it obvious?

Look again at the evidence previously presented by Headline; as for how Riye Guang died, anyone can guess.

Facing the reversal of public opinion, the terminally ill husband was flustered.

Because Headline did not spare him, but instead spent a great cost, daily reporting their dirt.

The bounty on the Sumiyoshi Association's criminal evidence—Yang Qing is just rich.

If you offend him, thinking you can simply get away, you're overthinking.

The Sumiyoshi Association, one of the three major gangs that are doing well in Little Japan?

It just depends on whether you can withstand it.

The principle that when a wall falls, everyone pushes—Little Japan should also hold true.

"Terminally ill lord, several of our gambling stalls have been snatched!"

"Terminally ill lord, we were betrayed by a traitor, and our cocaine business was exposed."

"Terminal Illness Sir, we've kidnapped and trafficked people, and murdered women."

…………….

………….

……

"Bad news came one after another; as Yang Qing pressed step by step, even those who were living comfortably had to launch an investigation into the Sumiyoshi Society."

"Can the underworld withstand an investigation?"

"The newspapers controlled by Headline Daily keep disclosing one solid piece of evidence after another."

"Do we still need to investigate?"

"The Sumiyoshi Society, a massive group with ten to twenty thousand members, threw everyone into panic for a time."

"Inside, the smaller gangs either fled or switched allegiance."

"Collapse is only a matter of time."

"The Sumiyoshi Society is now in imminent danger."

"Regarding Cheng Long's case, the resistance has become much smaller."

"Based on the evidence issued by the hospital, Cheng Long was declared innocent."

"Just when everyone thought the matter was over."

"Who would have thought that Cheng Long would actually demand huge compensation."

"\"I must be compensated 100 million US dollars. \""

"\"Do you know how big a star I am now? \""

"\"Do you know how high the box office of Immortal Gods Code is? \""

"\"I am the lead; if I am successfully framed this time, I will lose at least 200 million US dollars in box office share. \""

"\"Moreover, because of the success of Immortal Gods Code, I have received huge remuneration. \""

"\"I won't say more; taking two million US dollars in remuneration now is not excessive, right? \""

"\"After the success of War Gods Code 3 and 4, taking five million US dollars in remuneration is not high, right? \""

"\"You guys calculate, you guys calculate, how much loss will their framing bring me? \""

"\"I haven't even factored in my commercial value; earning tens of millions a year should be no problem. \""

"\"Take another look at my injuries; tell me how long I need to rest to recover. I'm a kung fu star—can I still continue my kung fu dream in the future? \""

"\"My losses are too great. \""

"\"100 million is too little. \""

"Terminal Illness Man, when the Sumiyoshi Society was on the verge of collapse, also received a huge compensation bill."

"\"This is a plan to devour our Sumiyoshi Society completely. \""

"He was indignant, he was desperate, he sought the person behind the scenes, while that person behind the scenes remained silent, not uttering a word."

"\"What else can we do? The Sumiyoshi Society now is a pile of shit; whoever gets involved will be unlucky. \""

"The elder of Hailaowu (Place) won't bother with them anymore."

"They were already doing shady things; if Azure Rainbow Media catches them with evidence, who knows if they'll chase them to Hailaowu (Place) to confront them."

"They really haven't reached the point of turning against each other and becoming enemies."

"The appearance of brotherhood must be maintained; even if you turn your face and scold, when meeting face to face you still need to greet with a smile."
