Chapter 175
When the Qin Family heard the news, they immediately realized that this time, the Chinese entertainment industry was about to experience a major earthquake.
Numerous artists were being arrested, banned, and having their contracts terminated. Many productions had to be suspended, and these artists would inevitably implicate even more people. It was unimaginable how busy the industry's staff would be in the coming days.
One could say that this would be a thorough cleansing of everyone in the entertainment circle who had been involved with these unsavory elements.
And all of this happened just because a stage play borrowed a retired drug-sniffing dog - who could have predicted that?
"Our Qin Corporation also has affiliated entertainment companies, and their artists..." Qin's Father said with a frown.
Qin Zhao smiled, "No wonder my second brother was in such a good mood when he left this morning."
"Does that mean there are no problems?" Qin's Mom asked.
Qin Zhao replied, "Who knows? I guess second brother sees this as an opportunity to eliminate the bad elements, which would benefit future development."
Just then, Ji Fei suddenly said, "There's news!"
Everyone immediately checked their phones, and sure enough, an official announcement had appeared, instantly taking the top spot on the trending list.
However, this announcement was about Lang Someone's case from last night.
The drug trafficking charges were confirmed, and a prison sentence of several years was inevitable. The reason for the drug trafficking was also revealed - it was to pay off gambling debts. This even implicated other friends in the industry who also had gambling debts, leading to an underground casino being shut down.
This naturally dispelled all previous rumors.
"He kept saying he did wrong things because of obsessive love, it's absolutely disgusting."
"It gives me chills thinking about how their circle ganged up to force marriage - they were just looking for a wealthy target!"
"It's truly tragic how love and marriage are being used for schemes."
"When schemes fail, they resort to setting traps. It's making me develop a fear of men."
"There are still many good men in the world, let's not discriminate based on gender."
"Gambling, secret filming - sisters, remember to stay away from men with such behaviors! Don't fantasize about saving them."
"Sigh, I remember when Lang Zhe said in an interview that many of his elders were military personnel and he admired those heroes, but he himself..."
At that moment in the Police Station, Lang Zhe was crying out: "Mom, Mom, save me! I didn't mean to, I really didn't want this, how did it become so serious?! I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go to jail, please use your connections, our family..."
Before Lang Zhe could finish crying, Lu Fei slapped him across the face, and the police didn't stop her.
"You still have the nerve to mention family? Can you face your Grandparents? When you did these things, did you ever think about our family's reputation?" Lu Fei's eyes were bloodshot, her heart aching, her gaze filled with deep disappointment.
Lang Zhe was stunned by the slap. He had... he had thought about them, that's why he refused to admit to the fraud! Why couldn't his mother understand him?
"Your father in heaven would wish he never had a child like you!" Lu Fei spoke harshly in her anger.
As soon as she said this, Lang Zhe suddenly looked up, his eyes fierce as he stared at Lu Fei, "It's all your fault that I turned out this way! Do you know why I started gambling? It's because of you!"
Lu Fei stared at him in shock, tears still unshed in her eyes. "What did you say?"
Lang Zhe's eyes were filled with hatred, "If you hadn't been so controlling, always forbidding me from doing this and that since I was young, making me unable to handle the pressure, I wouldn't have secretly started gambling. I just wanted to relax, but then... If it wasn't for your face, for not wanting to disappoint you, I wouldn't have denied the gambling and fraud. If it wasn't for trying to cover it up, I wouldn't have hidden drugs. Actually, this is all because of you. You're a failed mother! You're the last person who has any right to criticize me!"
Lang Zhe ranted like a madman, making all the surrounding police officers frown.
Lu Fei stumbled backward as if she could barely stand. She had indeed been strict with Lang Zhe, but without a husband's support, she was afraid of raising her child wrong and could only fortify herself.
She believed she had respected her child's choices. She actually didn't like Lang Zhe becoming a rap artist - if possible, she would have preferred him to join the military or become an actor, areas where their elders could help. But when her son said it was his dream, even though it didn't make money and he could barely support himself, even though he had achieved nothing so far, she didn't interfere because he liked it.
She was strict but also cared deeply for her son, yet in the end, she was still wrong in his eyes.
At this point, Luo Fei stepped forward with a serious expression, "Adults should take responsibility for their own actions because you're the one who made all the decisions! At your age, still making your mother worry - you're truly a failed son! You're the last person who has any right to criticize your mom!"
If Ji Fei were here, she would certainly applaud. Why could Lang Zhe criticize his mother, but Lu Fei couldn't criticize her son? Just because of the title 'mother,' should she bear all these accusations?
Lang Zhe's face alternated between pale and flushed at these words, but when the police were about to take him away, he instinctively started trembling and crying out for his mother to save him.
But Lu Fei's heart had already been completely broken by her son. Perhaps she really was a failure.
As Lang Zhe was being led away, he happened to pass by the room where Peng Li was being held.
Hearing her godson's miserable cries, Peng Li immediately started shouting anxiously, "This must be a misunderstanding, you must have made a mistake, how could my godson possibly traffic drugs! Release him immediately!"
The two police officers questioning her grew impatient, "Ms. Peng, your own issues aren't resolved yet, so don't worry about others! Please explain again, why did you drive him to that supermarket, and why did you then go to the broadcast hall? Did you know about their transaction?"
Peng Li had already been questioned several times, and now knowing that Lang Zhe had been taken away, she started making a scene, "You're treating me like a criminal too, but I'm the young lady of the Peng Group, I... I won't say anything more, wait for my lawyer, I'm going to report you all!"
"Please cooperate!"
Peng Li's refusal to cooperate and challenge to legal authority immediately made the police officers' faces turn cold.
Aliali: 6748ef2ec4f3f33ac4800c36Finally, someone arrived, but instead of her elderly parents with a lawyer as Peng Li expected, it was a young woman.
The young woman was dressed professionally and said she was there to handle Peng Li's case.
Peng Li asked confused, "Who are you? Who sent you? Are you a lawyer? Why would they send such a young girl!"
The woman gave her a cold look and reported her name to the police.
The familiar name made Peng Li's expression twist - it turned out the arrival was her long-estranged Daughter.
The Daughter had just happened to be back visiting her Grandparents when her foolish mother got caught up in this scandal. Her Grandparents were so angry they became unwell, so she had no choice but to come and understand the situation.
Peng Li was unaware of Lang Zhe's drug trafficking, but her behavior and attitude were highly suspicious, and she had indeed been passively involved, so the handling was complicated. In any case, she wouldn't be leaving the police station today.
"Stay put, I'll arrange for a lawyer to handle this," the Daughter said coldly without even looking at Peng Li.
But Peng Li looked at her with what seemed like hatred, saying, "Then why did you come? To see me humiliated? Are you planning to not try your best and use this chance to get revenge on me!"
The Daughter gave a cold laugh. "Get revenge on you? You're not worth my time for that. If it weren't for my Grandparents' sake, I wouldn't even be involved! Though I really didn't expect..."
