Public opinion is often lynching, and lynching is often entertainment, just like replacing pistols with newspaper reports. ——Akutagawa Ryunosuke
Baiyou Entertainment Company, on the top floor, in Tang Youyou's office.
The time is twelve o'clock noon.
It was still sunny yesterday, but today it suddenly became gloomy. The warm sun hid somewhere, and a thick layer of dark clouds accumulated in the sky. The wind was strong, indicating that a heavy rain was about to fall.
Tang Youyou, who was wearing OL clothes, was not sitting behind the desk or on the sofa in the living room at this time. Instead, she was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the city beneath her feet.
Tang Youyou's face was not very good, a little gloomy, and her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she had something on her mind.
Tang Youyou was the only one in the whole room. Her manager and personal assistant Ruan Xiaotong had gone somewhere. There were still three water glasses on the coffee table in the living room. No one had touched the three water glasses. However, it was obvious that
, someone came here just now.
"Zi Yu, why do you think you're doing this?"
I don't know how long it took, but Tang Youyou sighed, without much emotional change in his tone.
She already knew the news of Li Ziyu's death, and when she knew it, it happened to be when CSY member Shangguan Xue came to ask her about Xu Lulu.
Tang Youyou knew that people from CSY were investigating her, but she just pretended not to know. Tang Youyou has been in the entertainment industry for decades. From a small role playing a small role, she has come step by step to what she is now. She has seen so much
She was used to a lot of darkness and filth.
In addition to her own efforts, Baiyou Entertainment Company has been able to reach this point. Huang Xiude and other shareholders have also helped a lot. Of course, the most important thing is the help of that man. Unfortunately, he is dead.
For Tang Youyou, whether it is Ji Xin or Xu Lulu, although they were once very popular, for a boss, in addition to their own efforts, their success depends more on the company behind them.
The result of working with the team.
At first, Baiyou Entertainment Company spent a huge price to recruit Ji Xin, but not long after, Ji Xin was banned. It can be said that Baiyou Company suffered heavy losses this time. At that time, Tang Youyou was ready to
To quickly train a new person from the company, Li Ziyu was undoubtedly the best choice. Unfortunately, she didn't grasp it herself, or in other words, she didn't fight Xu Lulu and became Xu Lulu's stepping stone.
For the boss, it doesn't matter who comes up. What's important is that as long as it can bring benefits to the company, let alone Zhang San, it can be anything from Zhao to Wang or Wu, as long as you can make money.
After Xu Lulu became a first-line artist, Tang Youyou planned to train a new person. Li Ziyu was undoubtedly the best choice. The reason why Tang Youyou did this was because Xu Lulu was no longer with Baiyou Entertainment.
After she became a first-line artist, she began to contact other entertainment companies. Tang Youyou knew it, but she pretended not to see it.
This time, Xu Lulu snatched away the role specially created for Li Ziyu again, which made Tang Youyou extremely angry. However, she was more disappointed. What was annoying was that Xu Lulu didn't know how to advance or retreat. What was disappointing was that Li Ziyu didn't fight for it. No one
The boss likes an unmotivated person.
"Are you back?"
Tang Youyou crossed her arms across her chest, and the majestic scenery became more majestic under the weight of her slender arms. However, Tang Youyou seemed a little cold, and her eyes were very confused, as if she was reminiscing about something.
"Xu Lulu, Xu Wanzhen, Huang Xiude, Li Ziyu, what exactly do you want to do? Are you here for revenge? Or are you doing it to show me?" Tang Youyou murmured to himself.
Tang Youyou was the only one in the huge office. Her soft words echoed in the room, and no one could answer her question.

CSY, in Xu Lang's office.
He just got the files about Ji Xin from Yanjing City.
Xu Lang has already read Ji Xin's basic information. What he is now curious about is how Ji Xin, a beautiful girl like Ji Xin, ended up on the road of drug abuse.
Ji Xin's family background, growing up environment, and her road to fame are all smooth sailing. Such a woman went to the best and most expensive private school when she was in school. After graduation, she never
Lack of resources, let alone connections, Xu Lang just couldn't figure out why such a successful person who everyone envied would take drugs?
The file in Xu Lang's hand told Xu Lang the truth.
Ji Xin actually did not take drugs a long time ago. This was already very clear during the police investigation after Ji Xin was arrested.
Ji Xin was arrested in a mansion in Yanjing City, and she was not the only one arrested, but also five or six sisters.
The first time Ji Xin took drugs was at a party. It was the birthday of one of Ji Xin's sisters. Ji Xin just finished her work and returned to Yanjing City. They held a party in a mansion. At that time, Xu Lulu also attended
.
After Ji Xin was arrested, she confessed that at the party that day, they drank a lot and had a lot of fun, because these sisters were her friends who had been playing together since childhood.
The relationship has always been good. When the party was about to end, they talked about drugs. They said that some time ago, there was a gossip about a male star in the entertainment industry who took drugs because of the pressure of work and was eventually arrested and jailed. Ji Xin was an entertainment star.
The sisters asked her about the people she kept in the circle.
Ji Xin actually didn't know much about it, and she wasn't actually very familiar with the male star. She had met him a few times during filming and worked together twice, so she didn't have a deep impression. However, sisters
When they asked, she told what she knew.
Originally, everyone was just talking about male celebrities taking drugs at first, but as we continued chatting, the topic of drugs came up. Someone suggested giving it a try to see if drugs are really that powerful.
After this proposal was put forward, Ji Xin was originally opposed to it. However, they had a lot of fun at the party that day, drank too much, their brains were short-circuited, and with the encouragement of several sisters, they gave it a try.
, one of the women named Wang got drugs from someone unknown, and they took drugs in the mansion.
Originally, they just tried it out of curiosity, thinking that the harm of drugs was not that serious and was probably similar to smoking. They only smoked it once and would not become addicted. However, the result was very disappointing.
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat, and many drug addicts first started taking drugs out of curiosity. They felt that they had strong willpower and that it would be okay to smoke a little and they could quit. However, the facts tell you that drugs are worth tens of millions of dollars.
Don't touch it, and don't take any chances. Once you touch it, you will fall into an irreversible situation.
At that time, Ji Xin didn't feel anything was wrong when she was taking drugs. She felt very high, and her whole body was in a state of ecstasy. It was also at that time that she realized that this was how it felt to take drugs.
The short-lived joy was like fireworks in the dark night, fleeting. After Ji Xin's first attempt, she felt bad all over and vowed never to touch this thing again. However, there was
The first time, the second time, and the Nth time, after one or two times, she completely fell.
During that time, she stayed at home almost every day, having fun with a few good sisters, and it was precisely because of their wantonness that she was quickly reported.
Less than two weeks after Ji Xin took drugs, when she gathered a crowd to take drugs, the police broke in and arrested Ji Xin and others who were taking drugs. Many media reporters came with the police.
As soon as Ji Xin was taken away, news about Ji Xin's drug abuse was reported. It caused an uproar on the Internet and also caused a great sensation in the entertainment industry. If someone else was taking drugs,
She certainly wouldn't receive such attention, but this person is Ji Xin, an artist who gets what she wants. Her drug use is puzzling.
Ji Xin was very popular and influential at the time, which also led to a lot of criticism against her on the Internet after her arrest.
According to file records, after Ji Xin was arrested, she expressed regret. She was taking drugs out of curiosity and wanted to try it. Unexpectedly, she fell into it all of a sudden.
After Ji Xin was arrested, she pleaded guilty in a good manner and actively confessed the source of the drugs. In the first instance, she was sentenced to one and a half years in prison. Later, in the second instance, she was sentenced to one year in prison. After being imprisoned,
Before serving his sentence, he was sent to a drug rehabilitation center for forced detoxification, and several women who took drugs with Ji Xin also received corresponding punishments.
Ji Xin was sent to compulsory drug treatment and jailed to serve her sentence. This was the punishment imposed on her by the law, and other punishments followed. First of all, Baiyou Entertainment immediately chose to terminate the contract with Ji Xin and cut her off.
Deal with it and issue a statement, strongly condemning Ji Xin's behavior that harms others and herself. Then, many advertisers represented by Ji Xin immediately terminated their contracts and then changed their ads. Secondly, many advertisers who were previously represented by Ji Xin
Films, television dramas, and entertainment variety shows that have not been aired are impossible to pass the review, while those that have been aired are immediately removed from the shelves, and Ji Xin naturally faces huge compensation.
Of course, Ji Xin's family is well-off and she has earned a lot of money over the years. Although Ji Xin felt pain in the face of these huge compensations, she still gritted her teeth and made the compensation. Compensation is still a small matter, and the most important thing is her.
His star journey was ruined and he was completely blocked.
According to the files, when Ji Xin first entered the detoxification center, her performance was very average and she was very uncooperative, which led to the compulsory detoxification taking a long time. This may be related to the situation she encountered at the time, or it may be to slow down her imprisonment.
After serving her sentence, in short, she was eventually forced to detoxify, and then was sent to prison to serve her sentence and undergo rehabilitation.
While serving her sentence in prison, Ji Xin performed very well. During this period, in addition to her family members, there were also Xu Lulu who often visited her. However, Xu Lang saw two familiar names in the list.
, one is Li Ziyu, and the other is Tang Youyou.
Xu Lang was very surprised when he saw these two names.
Xu Lulu went to visit Ji Xin. Xu Lang could understand that although Ji Xin was in despair and had an accident, her network of contacts and relationships was still very strong, which Xu Lulu lacked.
According to previous police investigations, Xu Lulu and Ji Xin were indeed friends and good sisters. Ji Xin helped Xu Lulu a lot. Later, Xu Lulu’s godfather and godbrother were introduced to her by Ji Xin. It can be said that Xu Lulu can succeed
In addition to relying on the help of Hidden Rules and Huang Xiude, he relied more on Ji Xin's resources, so he
It can be said that Xu Lang was not surprised when Xu Lulu went to find Ji Xin.
However, when investigating Li Ziyu, the police did not find any direct contact between Li Ziyu and Ji Xin. It can be said that they are not familiar with each other at all and have no relationship. So, why did Li Ziyu go to visit Ji Xin? In other words,
Is there any unknown relationship between Ji Xin and Li Ziyu?
Another person, Tang Youyou.
Xu Lang was also confused when he saw Tang Youyou's name.
Although Tang Youyou and Ji Xin were friends in the past, and Ji Xin also switched jobs to Baiyou Entertainment Company because of Tang Youyou's relationship, no matter how good the relationship was, it became unsophisticated after conflicts of interest arose, not to mention
, after Ji Xin’s accident, Baiyou Entertainment immediately cut off Ji Xin. This is normal.
It was originally a normal thing, but from Ji Xin's perspective, her relationship with Tang Youyou should have ended here. So, why did Tang Youyou visit Ji Xin at this time?
Personal connections? Resources?
Xu Lang thought it was impossible. Tang Youyou had been famous for a long time, many years before Ji Xin's debut. Although Ji Xin's family background was very good, the fact that Tang Youyou could directly open an entertainment company meant that her network of connections was already very large.
, Ji Xin's personal network is not needed at all. Even if it is needed, what can Tang Youyou do with Ji Xin in exchange for benefits?
Thinking of this, Xu Lang suddenly thought of something.
Before, when Xu Lulu was killed, Xu Lang and the others focused all their attention on Li Ziyu and Baiyou Entertainment, and of course, Sun Wenyao's student status. At that time, Li Ziyu was the most suspected, and Huang Xiude was also suspected.
Not small, but after Huang Xiude was arrested and imprisoned for killing his wife, Huang Xiude's suspicion was basically eliminated. Instead, Li Ziyu's suspicion increased. However, Li Ziyu showed up the next day, and she was suspicious of her behavior.
An explanation was given. Although this explanation seemed unreasonable in many places, it also alleviated Li Ziyu's suspicion of committing the crime.
Xu Lang always felt that Xu Lulu's death must be related to the internal competition of Baiyou Entertainment. However, when he saw Ji Xin, Xu Lang suddenly discovered that perhaps, Xu Lulu's murder case and Li Ziyu's suicide case were also related to a
People have relationships, and this person is Ji Xin.
According to the file information passed by the Yanjing City Police, although the original whistleblower was anonymous, if the police wanted to investigate, they could still investigate, and this person was none other than Xu Lulu.
Xu Lang felt strange when Li Ziyu mentioned the relationship between Ji Xin and Xu Lulu before, thinking that Ji Xin was not stupid. Now it seems that perhaps when Li Ziyu mentioned Ji Xin, he hinted that Xu Lulu was killed.
The truth was that Xu Lang didn't pay too much attention to it at that time.
If Xu Lulu's death may have been Ji Xin's murder in revenge, then what about Li Ziyu?
Thinking of this, Xu Lang picked up the pen from the table and wrote down the names of Xu Lulu, Xu Wanzhen, Li Ziyu, Huang Xiude, Ji Xin, Tang Youyou and others on the paper. Looking at these names, Xu Lang began to think about the relationship between them.
Xu Wanzhen is Xu Lulu's aunt and her agent. Logically speaking, their relationship is very good. However, according to the surveillance video of the Hyatt Hotel, Xu Lulu may have left room 5116 before she was killed.
The person who took Xu Lulu away was Xu Wanzhen. From this point of view, Xu Wanzhen is also suspected of committing the crime.
Assuming that Xu Wanzhen is related to Xu Lulu's death, what is Xu Wanzhen's motive? What is her purpose?
Xu Lang felt that the relationship between Xu Wanzhen and Xu Lulu should be re-investigated.
Xu Lulu and Huang Xiude were lovers. Their long-term date was in Room 5112 of the Hyatt Hotel. Before Xu Lulu's accident, they had dated. Huang Xiude had admitted this personally. However, what Xu Lang was confused about was,
Since room 5112 is Huang Xiude's private room, then why was Sun Junfa able to enter the room in the first place?
Another point is, why did Li Ziyu choose to commit suicide in room 5112?
Is there any relationship between Li Ziyu and Huang Xiude?
According to previous investigations, Huang Xiude and Li Ziyu only have a superior-subordinate relationship and no personal relationship. Although Huang Xiude wanted to have a personal relationship with Li Ziyu, Li Ziyu did not agree. From this point of view, Huang Xiude and Li Ziyu have no relationship.
, however, Li Ziyu’s body was found in room 5112, which itself is problematic.
Li Ziyu said before that when she came to room 5116 after receiving a text message from Xu Lulu, what she saw was not Xu Lulu, but Ji Xin. So, what role did Ji Xin play in these two cases?
An insider? A participant? Or is she the real culprit behind the two cases?
No matter what role Ji Xin played in these two cases, investigating Ji Xin and finding her is what the police should do most at the moment.
In addition to Ji Xin, Xu Lang also paid special attention to Tang Youyou.
As the founder and largest shareholder of Baiyou Entertainment, what role did she play in these two cases?
Maybe we can know the answer to this question when Shangguan Xue comes back.
