An Qiuyan's failed attempt to frame Jiang Ling using the Luban method that day had instead cast the blame onto Jiang Yushuang.
Following that, Jian Fan, who loved his wife dearly, didn't retaliate against An Qiuyan. Instead, he took revenge on Shen Mingjue, all because of the strict upbringing by the Jian family parents.
Upon learning how Jian's father educated his son, doubts immediately surfaced in Jiang Ling's mind.
With the same upbringing, Jian Fan was no less devoted to his love than Jian Zhou.
Since Jian Fan could adhere to his principles and refrain from acting against women, it was unlikely that Jian Zhou would conspire against her and dig up her scandals to satisfy An Qiuyan's selfish desires, wasn't it?
Moreover, working by her side was not easy. Not only did she have to hide her identity and act humbly, but she also had to tolerate being taken advantage of from time to time.
The more Jiang Ling thought about it, the more suspicious the matter seemed.
Thus, she decided to use the controversy over the exorbitant acting fees as a legitimate reason to retaliate against Sparkle Media and test him thoroughly.
An Qiuyan was a signed artist with Sparkle Media. Although they were in the same boat, there was intense competition and rivalry among the artists.
With limited resources, giving them to one meant neglecting the other.
Given An Qiuyan's arrogant nature, she naturally wanted to get rid of all the popular female artists at Sparkle Media so she could rise to power and become Sparkle's number one.
As a reborn individual, An Qiuyan would likely be aware of the numerous scandals involving Sparkle Media's artists.
If Jian Zhou was indeed sent by An Qiuyan, and An Qiuyan knew she intended to retaliate, she would surely use her to get rid of these people.
Conversely, it would prove that he and An Qiuyan were not in league.
Therefore, whether this plan succeeded or not, she would get the answer she desired.
...
Meanwhile, after leaving home, Jian Zhou immediately called Xiao Hei.
In fact, the descendant of Shi Qian that he mentioned to Jiang Ling was none other than Xiao Hei.
"What, you want me to dig up dirt on Sparkle Media's artists?"
Hearing Jian Zhou's request, Xiao Hei was stunned.
"What, is there a problem?"
"Yes, a huge problem. Although many artists under Sparkle Media have decadent private lives, the news is so tightly controlled, and there are so many artists. How am I supposed to know which artist has the most and easiest-to-dig dirt? When entertainment reporters dig up scandals, they often focus on one person, taking three to five months, or at most one to two years, to uncover anything. How can you expect me to find dirt on anyone right now?" Xiao Hei complained with a grimace.
"Don't worry about that. Even if it takes you a year or two to tail them, Jiang Ling can't wait that long. I've already had someone prepare a list. You just need to follow the people on this list, and you'll uncover explosive material in no time."
Sparkle Media's repeated targeting had not only infuriated Jiang Ling but also filled Jian Zhou with resentment.
Even if Jiang Ling hadn't sought revenge, he wouldn't have easily let go of those despicable cowards hiding in the shadows and shooting poisoned arrows.
This list was prepared by Jian Zhou in advance after the exorbitant acting fees incident was exposed.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei was delighted, "That's great! With a list, it's much easier than searching blindly."
Jian Zhou added, "This list is of utmost importance. Once you receive it, you must set a password and store it securely. It must never fall into the wrong hands, understand?"
The people on the list were all recorded by him based on his memories from his previous life. It not only detailed the disgraceful and dirty deeds committed by Sparkle Media's A-list and B-list artists but also included their exact addresses and related individuals.
