With Uncle Yu’s side having no further developments, whether the cooperation could be reached was uncertain. Mr. Vincent’s side absolutely could not afford any more mishaps.
“Yes,” the driver replied.
These were standard procedures. Those expelled from the organization would only be silenced by death to prevent betrayal.
Just then, the person responsible for investigating Yu Linwan returned the call. Upon hearing the reply, Tarik’s expression grew even more grim.
Yu Linwan was Uncle Yu’s biological daughter?
Yu Yinyin was an adopted daughter due to a swapped birth?
He was only finding out about this now!
“Damn it! Damn it!” Tarik slammed his hand against the car window.
The driver flinched, “Young, Young Master?”
It was rare for the Young Master to lose control like this.
“No need to kill Yu Linwan anymore. Just withdraw all funding for her and sever all connections,” Tarik closed his eyes tightly, wanting to rest, but a graceful figure kept flashing in his mind.
It was all Yu Linwan’s fault for suddenly mentioning Xia Qingtian, otherwise, he wouldn’t have remembered that person because of it…
With his eyes closed and brows furrowed, Tarik was reluctant to open them.
Only at such times could he secretly think of her.
Once he opened his eyes and saw the world before him clearly, he could no longer allow himself to be swayed by emotions.
That was not what a Young Master should do.
Soon, they arrived in front of Mr. Vincent’s house.
Tarik took a deep breath to compose himself, got out of the car, and was led inside by a servant.
Mr. Vincent had short silver hair, and his blue eyes always looked gentle. His light grey suit exuded an air of scholarly refinement, making him appear approachable.
However, Tarik knew that Mr. Vincent was currently the largest arms dealer in Europe, possessing an entire private army. He had achieved his current status through his own hard work and determination.
He was also a genius-level figure whom his adoptive father desperately wanted to win over.
With Uncle Yu encountering trouble, there absolutely could not be any more errors on this side.
“Tarik, you’re here so early,” Mr. Vincent said with a chuckle, waving at Tarik.
“Mr. Vincent, I hope you are well,” Tarik replied with a smile. “The seventeenth of next month is my birthday. I wonder if I have the honor of inviting you to my birthday party? It’s a two-day, one-night maritime banquet, with many performances featuring elements from Country Z. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.”
He had discovered that Mr. Vincent had a strong liking for traditional Country Z culture, and this was a good opportunity to strengthen their relationship.
“What a pity,” Mr. Vincent said helplessly. “On the seventeenth of next month, I have a friend from Country Z who will be holding a martial arts friendly match with me. I might not be able to get away.”
“Is that so?” Tarik was slightly surprised.
“A friendly match can last for three to four days. If you’re interested, you’re always welcome to watch,” Mr. Vincent gestured casually, smiling heartily. Then, as if remembering something, he added, “The son of that friend is the same age as you. Perhaps you two would get along very well.”
“Is that so… I’m looking forward to it,” Tarik’s smile was a little stiff. The birthday banquet’s itinerary had been arranged according to Vincent’s preferences, and this sudden development…
Tarik clenched his fist at his side.
Why did everything feel so troublesome?
Meanwhile, back in the country, the information continued to explode and spread.
Soon, several former trainees of Wansheng Entertainment came forward to vindicate Yu Yinyin.
“Yinyin was truly the most hardworking… She was always the last one to leave the practice room every day.”
“It’s Mo Jianing who was putting on a show. Every time she had a live broadcast, she would drive us out. She has several assistants, and they’re very intimidating. Yinyin was driven away by Mo Jianing.”
“I was there that day. Mo Jianing was doing a live broadcast and kicked us all out. Then Yinyin was practicing in the hallway and almost fell. A male senior executive helped her up. That male executive was probably someone Mo Jianing liked. Anyway, Mo Jianing glared at Yu Yinyin, and that day Yu Yinyin was kicked out, with accusations of having a messy personal life.”
“Come on, Yu Yinyin spent her days practicing and practicing, what kind of personal life could she possibly have?”
“I used to think she just wanted to be famous. I didn’t realize… I didn’t realize she had gone through so much… Yinyin, I’m sorry. I wasn’t brave enough to stand up and testify for you back then. I knew you were innocent, but I didn’t have the courage to confront Mo Jianing… I’m sorry…”
“Mo Jianing is nothing like she portrays herself. Her entourage is huge, and she wears and eats the best. The recorded competition broadcasts are all after millions of yuan in audio tuning. Her actual skill during the competition was the same as during the casting, sometimes even worse. Off-key notes and cracked voices were common.”
“Mr. Yu from Wansheng Entertainment is like sisters with Mo Jianing. Mo Jianing has boasted more than once about the gifts Mr. Yu bought her. Anyway… anyway, the entertainment industry is indeed very murky. Yu Yinyin is truly quite pitiful.”
…
With multiple insiders speaking out and a massive amount of evidence, the matter of the voice actor became the least significant issue. At this point, Mo Jianing’s career had completely collapsed.
She stared at the screen in disbelief, her mind a blank.
No, no, this can’t be happening.
She had to find Yu Linwan!
Yu Linwan was so good to her; she definitely wouldn’t abandon her! She had to find Yu Linwan!
She would be obedient, she would sing well, and whatever Yu Linwan wanted her to do, she would do it…
Yes, find Yu Linwan.
Mo Jianing quickly got into a car and drove straight to Wansheng Entertainment. After getting out, she rushed directly to Yu Linwan’s office.
Meanwhile, in Yu Linwan’s office, a man in a sharp suit was looking at her with a mocking gaze, as if announcing the final verdict to someone sentenced to death.
“What?” Yu Linwan could barely believe her ears.
She had been sidelined like this, and even kicked out of the company she founded herself!
From this moment on, she would have nothing…
“My condolences,” the man said with a smile, seemingly accustomed to such despairing faces. “You should be grateful that the Young Master spared your life. If it were anyone else…”
The man didn’t finish his sentence. His eyes flickered towards the door, and the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.
Then, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Mo Jianing appeared, panting, her cheeks flushed, and her hair disheveled.
“It seems you have a guest,” the man said, standing up. “I’ll give you an hour. Someone will be here in an hour to handle the aftermath.”
With that, the man chuckled and left.
