While the Jian family's affairs are usually kept low-key and they rarely flaunt their wealth, their legal department is anything but a pushover.
The Jian family's legal team has a reputation as the "M&D Invincibles," and they are formidable.
Once they set their sights on someone, they wouldn't hesitate to sue them into bankruptcy.
Moreover, this matter involved the Jian family's matriarch.
From Jian's father, a devoted husband, to his sons Jian Fan and Jian Zhou, they were all furious to see Jian's mother being slandered like this.
You like to fabricate stories?
Fine, then you can fabricate them properly in prison.
These unscrupulous media outlets, who constantly peddle fabricated stories to grab attention, had already ruined countless reputations before.
Some individuals, unable to withstand the barrage of rumors and cyberbullying, had even tragically ended their lives by jumping off buildings.
The victims' families had nowhere to turn for justice and no idea how to make these villains, who killed without shedding blood, pay.
This time, the Jian family was provoked. Jian's father gathered all the victims and provided financial support and assistance, encouraging them to file lawsuits together.
To prevent the victims' families from wasting time and disrupting their work, Jian's father offered them ten years' worth of salary upfront, allowing them to focus solely on pursuing these individuals relentlessly.
With everyone pitching in, the victims jointly filed lawsuits, bolstered by the Jian family's legal team.
Ultimately, the responsible parties behind these unscrupulous media outlets were sentenced to several years of imprisonment for aggravated defamation, leading to the death of the defamed, and were thrown behind bars.
Imprisonment was just the beginning; the real trouble awaited them backstage.
Under the Jian family's full "attention," these incarcerated individuals subsequently suffered unfortunate fates, ending up in situations described as "picking up soap" and leaving a trail of devastation.
The Jian family not only made no attempt to hide these actions but even arranged for information to be leaked through unofficial channels.
This was to let people know that while the Jian family preferred to remain low-key and avoid trouble, they were not afraid of it. Those who dared to pluck hairs from a tiger's head would have to pay the price.
Fabricating stories might feel good for a moment, but prison and a shattered behind await!
...
The storm stirred up by Jiang Yushuang's pregnancy was as swift as it was brief.
Jiang Ling, knowing that the Jian family would handle the situation, did not interfere and devoted her full attention to the filming of "Prince Becomes a Frog."
This morning, after completing a crucial scene, Jiang Ling suddenly received a call from Old Master Shen.
"Xiao Jiang, are you free? Shall we meet for tea sometime?"
Jiang Ling was about to say she was busy, but then she considered that she and Shen Mingjue had been apart for so long, yet due to that troublemaker An Qiuyan, they were still somewhat entangled.
Hesitation only leads to more trouble. It would be better to have a clear conversation.
After finishing the pivotal scene for Ye Tianyu today, she had no further filming for the next few days. It would be opportune to take some time off to return to M&D and explain everything to Old Master Shen once and for all.
The old master's sudden call likely pertained to Shen Mingjue's affairs.
With this thought, Jiang Ling replied, "I'm free the afternoon after tomorrow."
"Alright, then we'll meet the afternoon after tomorrow!"
After hanging up, Jiang Ling explained her situation to Chen Mingzhang and took the earliest flight back to M&D the next morning.
Upon emerging from the airport, Jiang Ling did not head home to rest immediately but took a taxi to the bank.
Two years ago, when Old Master Shen learned of her breakup with Shen Mingjue, he had promptly returned from abroad. He then arranged to meet her and presented her with a string of jade beads.
This string of purple jade beads, though faintly colored, was remarkably pure, and the jade's clarity was exceptionally good. Its market value was certainly no less than one hundred million yuan.
Jiang Ling had intended to use Old Master Shen to suppress An Qiuyan back then, and had no choice but to accept the string of beads.
