Honestly speaking, all the reporters here had already made up their minds. Regardless of Zhuo Wei and Chen Guang's performance, they would still write their reports. They wouldn't lose a single piece of meat.
As for the possibility of Chen Guang suing them for defamation?
Don't joke around. There were at least two to three hundred media outlets here. Would he be able to sue them all?
At the very most, he could just post a small piece of tofu in the corner of his mouth and pretend to apologize. That would be a secondary hot topic.
In the eyes of these veteran reporters, Chen Guang wasn't someone they couldn't afford to offend. Especially after the mess he had made this time, as long as they weren't stupid, they would think that the Jin family wouldn't want him as their grandson-in-law.
It didn't matter if he cleared his name or not. He couldn't be the Emperor's son-in-law anymore.
So, before the press conference even started, all kinds of news articles had already surfaced on the internet. They just had to wait for the press conference to come to an end. Then, all the reporters could comfortably earn the last bit of attention. Everyone would be happy.
No one knew that Zhuo Wei was currently kneeling in the conference room with a pale face and a head full of cold sweat. His back was completely drenched in sweat. The cold air from the air conditioner blew on his body, but he couldn't stop the sweat from pouring down his face.
This was because there was a black muzzle pointed at his head. The person holding the gun was one of Liu Chao's confidants.
Zhuo Wei knew this person. He was Boss Liu's number one fighter. He had been famous in the chaotic era ten to twenty years ago.
Even now, if Liu Chao gave the order, Zhuo Wei knew that his head would be blown off with a single shot.
Right in front of him, Liu Chao looked at him with an indifferent expression.
The door to the small conference room was slowly closed by a young man with his head wrapped in a large hood. Then, he lifted the hood. It was Chen Guang.
"Fatty Zhuo, we meet again."
Chen Guang grinned. This time, his smile was especially meaningful.
"Chen … Chen Guang … How could it be you?"
Zhuo Wei's legs trembled uncontrollably. He looked at Chen Guang in confusion, then looked at Liu Chao with a confused expression.
Liu Chao was still expressionless. "I told you a long time ago that not all money can be earned. You only have yourself to blame for this mess."
Zhuo Wei understood what he meant. Liu Chao's simple words made him realize in an instant that he had made the biggest mistake all along. He had underestimated Chen Guang.
Chen Guang's influence was greater than he had imagined!
Even though he didn't know what methods he used or who was backing him up, Boss Liu had sold him out!
My backer, my backer, the boss who has been protecting Eight Weekly Magazines for all these years, has sold me out!
Zhuo Wei slowly knelt down. "Boss, this … why is this happening?"
"No reason. I'm not interested in explaining it to you. All you need to know is that you almost dragged me into an irrecoverable situation. "
Liu Chao walked up and slapped Zhuo Wei hard across the face.
With a loud slap, Zhuo Wei's head turned away. Liu Chao angrily slapped him, causing blood to flow from his mouth.
At this moment, Eight Weekly Magazines' second-in-command, Zhuo Wei's assistant, Xiao Lu, also walked in. He nodded at Liu Chao. "Mr. Liu, everything has been arranged."
Liu Chao nodded. "Not bad. Xiao Lu, you did well."
Zhuo Wei looked at his most trusted assistant with his mouth wide open. In the end, he couldn't control his emotions and roared hysterically, "Lu Xiaoliang! You sold me out! "
Lu Xiaoliang looked at Zhuo Wei sympathetically. "Boss, don't you understand? It really wasn't me who sold you out, it was you who sold yourself out! You're so crazy that it's scary! "
"Cut the crap. Take out the USB drive from his pocket and give it to Xiao Chen!" Liu Chao kicked him again, causing Zhuo Wei to fall on his back.
Lu Xiaoliang's eyes flashed with a trace of pity, but he still bent down and took out the USB drive from Zhuo Wei's pocket. He handed it to Chen Guang, who was beside him. "Mr. Chen, the video is in here. This is Zhuo Wei's hard drive. I've already deleted his account, so there's nothing else."
Chen Guang took the USB drive and hard drive. "Well done. I don't have any other requests. Anyway, you must eliminate all the negative influence on me today."
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Chen." Lu Xiaoliang bowed and left. "I won't let you down."
Zhuo Wei, who was lying on the ground, looked at the two of them. He felt a little strange, as if he had overlooked something.
Liu Chao answered his doubts. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, Zhuo Wei. I've already sold Eight Weekly Magazines to Chen Guang for one dollar. I sold it to Chen Guang."
"What!"
Zhuo Wei thought he had gone deaf. "How is that possible?!"
Liu Chao sighed when he saw his subordinate, who used to think highly of him, completely dumbfounded. "Isn't this all thanks to you?"
Zhuo Wei saw a hint of helplessness on Liu Chao's face. He suddenly realized that although Eight Weekly Magazines was not Boss Liu's main business, it was still complementary to his Liu Shi Culture. The entire magazine also had a lot of real dirt on people in and out of the entertainment industry. In the Chinese entertainment industry, it was like a nuclear weapon. The total market value was definitely more than 100 million.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had no other choice, who would be willing to give up so much profit for one dollar?
Although most of the dirt was hidden in his personal computer, and only he knew about it, Zhuo Wei knew without a doubt that he had to hand it all over!
And from then on, he could forget about using it to make money.
Of course, there was a more realistic problem in front of him. Could he survive?!
Based on Boss Liu's style of doing things, silencing people is his favorite, right?
How stupid am I? How overconfident am I to have the guts to stroke Chen Guang's tiger whiskers?!
How did things become like this today?
For a moment, his thoughts were wandering. The memory in his mind returned to the morning when Chen Guang held the press conference to announce the establishment of Tianguang Agency.
Yes, it started when my precious son, Xiao Wei, was beaten up by Chen Guang's bodyguards.
At that time, I angrily brought people to demand an explanation. In the end, I didn't get an explanation, and Gang Zi was also beaten up. Xia Yingjie, the Jiangyuan District Branch Chief, didn't care about this matter.
At that time, although I was angry, I was actually happy. I thought that it was rare to meet such a stubborn celebrity. He had just gotten a large investment from the Tang Jie Foundation.
Those celebrities who have a way to deal with the media are all old foxes. How can they be so easy to deal with?
This is a good opportunity for me to make a fortune!
Actually, I made a total of one mistake. I didn't understand Chen Guang's true strength.
I thought he was just a rash young man, but he really can cover the sky with one hand!
I regret it so much.
I wish I could do it again. I wouldn't have treated this matter with such an attitude.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world, and there is no time machine. Zhuo Wei's regret is of no use.
"Xiao Chen, how should we deal with him? Liu Chao quietly walked in front of Chen Guang and asked in a low voice. He made a gesture of cutting his throat.
Chen Guang looked at Zhuo Wei and hesitated a little. If it was him in the past, he would have sent Zhuo Wei to heaven.
But was the conflict between him and Zhuo Wei really so serious that he had to pay with his life?
It didn't seem like it. It was just a scolding, a scolding, and a scolding. His mistake was unforgivable, but it wasn't a crime worthy of death.
The most important thing was that this damn fatty was Teacher Zhuo's uncle.
Although Teacher Zhuo didn't seem to like this relative of his, blood was thicker than water. He was still considered Teacher Zhuo's relative. This was an undeniable fact.
"Xiao Chen, I know you're kind-hearted. Otherwise, you don't have to worry about this matter. I'll arrange it properly."
Seeing his hesitation, Liu Chao said in a low voice.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the small conference room.
Liu Chao frowned. "Who is it?"
One of his confidants opened the door a little and said in a low voice, "Mr. Liu, there are two Old Man's wives wandering around outside just now. Our people caught them. They said they are Zhuo Wei's relatives."
"Oh? Relatives? "Liu Chao was a little puzzled.
Chen Guang understood. It must be Zhuo Jingsi's parents who thought that Zhuo Wei was going to make a fortune today, so they came to watch the show.
These two elders were also important sources of information for Zhuo Wei. They would definitely get a bonus. Thinking about it was really disappointing.
"Let them in," Chen Guang ordered.
Liu Chao's confidant looked at Liu Chao again. Seeing his boss nod, he turned back and said, "Bring them in!"
As soon as Zhuo Jingsi's parents entered, they saw Zhuo Wei kneeling on the ground. They then saw the pitch-black gun in Liu Chao's hand, and Chen Guang and Liu Chao's cold expression.
Completely unaware of the situation, the two turned around and were about to leave. They were scared silly.
"Stop!"
Liu Chao shouted in a low voice. A group of men in black gathered outside the door and stopped Zhuo Jingsi's parents.
The two elders stiffened and turned around shakily. Seeing how scared they were, Chen Guang couldn't bear to see them like this. He took the initiative to welcome them in and closed the door. He even personally set up chairs for them and poured them a glass of water. He gestured for them to sit down. "Greetings, Uncle and Auntie. I have a small misunderstanding with Zhuo Wei."
"You are Zhuo Wei's relatives, right? What are you doing here? "Seeing how polite Chen Guang was to Zhuo Jingsi's parents, Liu Chao quickly changed his tone.
Zhuo Jingsi's mother looked at Liu Chao with some fear. She obviously knew Liu Chao. She gulped and said, "Greetings, Mr. Liu."
"Brother! Sister-in-law! Save me! Save me! "
At this moment, Zhuo Wei suddenly rushed over, rolling and crawling on the ground. He hugged Zhuo Jingsi's father's leg and cried.
"Ahem." Liu Chao coughed lightly. Zhuo Wei's body trembled and he woke up with a start.
"Go back and squat over there. I didn't ask you to speak!" Liu Chao said fiercely.
This was new to him. The last time he acted like a henchman and helped his boss negotiate, it had been thirty years since then, right?
It seemed like his skills hadn't regressed.
As expected, Zhuo Wei didn't dare to cause any more trouble. He obediently shrunk to the side.
Zhuo Jingsi's mother was also scared out of her wits. She couldn't even hold the glass of water steadily. She trembled for a long time but couldn't say a word.
At this moment, Chen Guang's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Zhuo Jingsi.
Chen Guang sorted out his emotions and answered the phone. "Jingsi, what's the matter?"
On the other end of the phone, Zhuo Jingsi seemed to be in low spirits. She looked like she had just cried, and her voice sounded a little choked. "Chen Guang, I'm in the dormitory now. Zhuo Wei's press conference is going to be broadcasted on the internet. I've been watching it. I called my parents just now and found out that he really did take a video of you having sex with a girl on Phoenix Spring Mountain. What should I do? "
Chen Guang looked at Zhuo Wei, who was lying on the ground, and smiled. "It's okay. I can handle it."
Zhuo Jingsi thought about it again and said, "I've asked my parents to go to the press conference. No matter what, I won't let Zhuo Wei release it! He's my uncle. My dad can help. He'll listen to my parents. I have to try! "
Chen Guang sighed. When she heard that he had sex with a girl, all she could think of was that she couldn't let Zhuo Wei release the video.
Sigh. Actually, you're my first woman. This is the most unfair thing to you, okay?
I might have a clear conscience with other people, but with you, I've really cheated.
He felt a little upset.
On the other end, Zhuo Jingsi started crying again. "I really didn't expect my uncle to be so terrible. He's crazy about money! Actually, it's all my fault. If I hadn't come to America, if I hadn't been unable to satisfy you, you wouldn't have … "
"It's not like that. What's wrong with you?"
"No, no, no. It's all my fault. I didn't do my duty as a woman. I also know that I'm not good enough for you. If my parents and uncle hadn't said what they shouldn't, things wouldn't have turned out like this. But I … really love you! "
This was probably the first time in Chen Guang's life that he had heard a woman use such a serious attitude to say that she loved him so much.
He couldn't describe how he felt. He just felt that a soft spot deep in his heart had been ruthlessly stabbed by a knife. Hot blood slowly flowed out from his heart and soaked his entire heart.
He looked at Zhuo Jingsi's panicked and nervous parents again and understood why they were here.
Actually, they weren't as bad as he thought. They weren't here to get a share of the money. They were called here by Zhuo Jingsi to help him.
Chen Guang knew that Zhuo Jingsi's parents definitely didn't like him. When Zhuo Jingsi was talking to them about this, they might have had a heated argument. Zhuo Jingsi's parents should also know that Zhuo Wei was someone who cared about money, face, and life.
But in the end, they still came.
"Jingsi, don't cry. Really, don't cry. It's almost ten o 'clock at night over there. Go sit in front of the computer and watch the live broadcast. Then go to sleep peacefully. Nothing will happen, nothing will happen. When you wake up tomorrow, everything will be normal. Train your body well. I'll come to America to find you in a few days."
Chen Guang said.
"Okay. You probably have a lot of things to do right now. I won't disturb you anymore."
Zhuo Jingsi hung up the phone reluctantly.
"Auntie, I just called Jingsi. Thank you."
Chen Guang went to Zhuo Jingsi's parents again. In the past, everyone had indeed quarreled with each other. But no matter what, they were now on his side.
Zhuo Jingsi's mother looked at Chen Guang. In her mind, she recalled how Zhuo Jingsi had begged them to come. Her emotions were exceptionally complicated.
Of course, the two elders knew that Chen Guang's "car sex" on Phoenix Spring Mountain was real. Their daughter really had a hard life.
Zhuo Jingsi's father sighed. "Sigh. If Jingsi hadn't said that she would hang herself if we didn't come, I wouldn't have come even if you beat me to death. Now it looks like we came for nothing. "
Zhuo Jingsi's mother was even more aggrieved. "Chen Guang, we know that you only treat Jingsi as a little girl. Our family is indeed not good enough for you. But can you treat her better in the future? She really gave her to you completely! "
Poor parents. Although Zhuo Jingsi's father and mother loved money and had previously accepted the fate of Zhuo Jingsi being Chen Guang's mistress, seeing that Chen Guang was using his power to completely cover up his "affair" and that their daughter could only live in the shadows from now on without a proper status, Zhuo Jingsi's mother's nose turned sour. In the end, tears still welled up in her eyes.
She regretted it. She already knew that Zhuo Jingsi didn't like Zhuo Long. If she hadn't forced her so hard back then, how could she have attracted the "jackal" Chen Guang?
Chen Guang smiled and nodded. "Don't worry. I'll treat her very well."
"Then we can rest assured."
Zhuo Jingsi's father was about to get up.
"Brother!"
Zhuo Wei shouted again when he saw that Zhuo Jingsi's father was about to leave.
Zhuo Jingsi's father didn't reply. He pulled Zhuo Jingsi's mother and continued to leave. Zhuo Jingsi's father's eyes were also filled with tears.
"Alright, alright. Don't make it sound like we're going to part forever. Zhuo Wei, I don't have the mood to settle the mess you've done in the past. I've already reported it to the police in Wujing. When you get back, you'll have to give a clear explanation. You'll have to go to jail for however many years you deserve. Just based on the fact that you killed that singer Zhen Zhenru over ten years ago, it's enough for you to go to jail for a few years. "
"I don't want to go to jail!" Zhuo Wei shouted.
Liu Chao kicked him again. "Go to jail or die. Which do you choose?"
On the other hand, Zhuo Jingsi's father stiffened when he heard Chen Guang say that he wouldn't kill Zhuo Wei. He turned around and bowed deeply. "Thank you, Xiao Chen. I thank you on behalf of my father and uncle!"
Chen Guang shook his head. "Uncle, you don't have to thank me. If I were as fond of lynching as you are, I wouldn't be any different from Zhuo Wei. Nothing can be accomplished without rules."
Zhuo Wei suddenly came to his senses. He turned to face Chen Guang and hammered his head on the ground. "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for sparing my life! Thank you, Mr. Chen! "
"Shut up. If you want to live, it depends on how well you do. Lu Xiaoliang, come in," Liu Chao ordered.
Lu Xiaoliang poked his head in from outside. Seeing Zhuo Wei's head on the ground bleeding profusely but still kowtowing, Lu Xiaoliang felt his teeth ache.
"You two have a good discussion about what to do with today's press conference. If it was any less interesting, both of you would be in trouble. Make good use of this opportunity. From now on, Chen Guang will be your boss. Don't miss this opportunity to redeem yourself."
Liu Chao waved his hand.
On the other side, Chen Guang supported Father Zhuo and Mother Zhuo as they walked out.
"Little Chen, if there's nothing else, we'll be leaving first. We'll go back and watch the press conference on TV. Dachuan Satellite TV's Arts Channel is going to broadcast it live."
Chen Guang nodded. He asked Liu Chao to arrange for someone and a car to send his parents back. They seemed to be in a terrible condition.
Standing in front of the window, he watched his parents' car leave the hotel. Then, he thought of Zhuo Jingsi, who was watching the live broadcast in front of her computer in America. Chen Guang made a decision.
He took out his phone, wrote three words, and sent them to Jin Shiyue.
"I'm sorry."
Zhuo Jingsi had no desires. She wholeheartedly thought and gave everything she had for him.
How could he say that he had nothing to do with her on TV?
She was infatuated with him. How could he let her down and hurt her?
After all, a man had to have some responsibility.
It was time to put an end to this Fuma title that was only in name but not in reality. It was a heavy burden on him and Jin Shiyue.
