Quan Ziye was well aware of how stubborn Lin Qian was.
As long as she set her mind on something, there was no way she could change it.
That night, Lin Qian was in the hospital room while Quan Ziye was outside. Meanwhile, the outside world was in chaos.
First, the video of Xing Lan being attacked and asking for help was uploaded online. Then, news of Quan Ziye being chased by the police while speeding spread like wildfire. But, everyone understood Quan Ziye's actions. After all, Xing Lan's manager was Lin Qian and Lin Qian was Quan Ziye's sister.
It wasn't hard to deduce that both Xing Lan and Lin Qian were attacked. Xing Lan ran for help and Lin Qian was injured. That's how Quan Ziye ended up racing.
But who was the mastermind behind this matter, and what was the purpose of this matter, was worthy of intense discussion.
The next morning, Superstar Media released a statement stating that they would cooperate with the police to find out the truth. They also vowed to give their artist an explanation.
Superstar Media also claimed that everything happened because of the Journey Competition. At the moment, Xing Lan was fine, but her manager, Lin Qian, was seriously injured.
For the sake of winning the competition, Xing Lan actually dared to attack a contestant. This incident caused a huge impact, so Tangning decided to take a strong stance.
"Whether it's the perpetrator or the mastermind, Superstar Media will get to the bottom of this."
It wasn't difficult to investigate the matter in detail. After all, all they had to do was follow the clues to find the truth.
After Lin Qian was admitted to the hospital, Tangning sat quietly in Superstar Media's office and waited. Xing Lan's competition was around the corner and the police were still investigating the case. So, she wanted to see how long Xing Lan could hold on.
She wanted to tell everyone in the industry that not only couldn't they touch Hai Rui's people, they couldn't touch her people either.
"Long Jie, contact Fang Yu and ask him to prepare a contract with Xing Lan."
Originally, she planned to let Xing Lan join Hai Rui after she won the competition. But now, she felt it was necessary to tell everyone about the relationship between Superstar Media and Hai Rui.
"Are we going to let Xing Lan sign a contract now?" Long Jie asked worriedly.
"She already has the right to do so," Tangning replied.
Not long after, Tangning received a phone call from an unknown number. The person wanted to meet up with her, but Tangning immediately rejected, "I have no need to meet up with a violent person. I don't want to risk my life. It's best if you get straight to the point. I hate people that aren't sincere."
The man froze for a moment before he let out a gentle laugh, "Tangning, you sure are arrogant."
"I have the capital to be arrogant. At the very least, if I want to catch someone, I won't be stupid enough to kidnap them directly, let alone in the downtown area."
"Alright, name your conditions. It's just a small joke. Why make it so big?"
"Conditions?" Tangning sneered, "I can have whatever I want. Do you think I care about your things? It's very simple. Your people should withdraw from the competition. Otherwise, when the police find out the truth, you will still have to withdraw from the competition, and it will be very ugly. "
"If you want to take revenge on me, come at me, but my daughter doesn't know about this."
"You're right. I want to take revenge on you, and your weakness is your daughter. I want you to know that I can't take revenge on you. If you make a move, you will have to pay the price. If you offend my people, you will regret it for the rest of your life. " "As an actress, you can bully me. But, as a manager, if you can't defeat me, then I will admit defeat."
"I'm begging you, can't I?"
"People that beg for mercy when they fail are the most undeserving of sympathy." After speaking, Tangning hung up the phone.
If the person was smart enough, he would have found a suitable reason to make his daughter withdraw from the competition. Otherwise, he would end up being humiliated in front of the entire nation.
Two days later, Tangning received news that someone had indeed withdrawn from the Journey Competition. The reason was that he had broken his leg.
In reality, everyone knew whether or not his leg was broken. But, the person still had to pay the price!
However, Xing Lan's debt was settled. But …
… Lin Qian's debt had yet to be settled.
Quan Ziye instructed the Quan Family to hire a private investigator to investigate. Afterwards, they found the gangsters that had attacked Xing Lan that night.
Apart from anything else, he wanted everyone to be smashed until their heads bled. Only then would his hatred be appeased.
He wasn't the type of person that followed the rules. Because, Tangning had to be careful with every step and couldn't allow anyone to use her against her. But, he didn't care.
If anyone dared to touch his people, he was going to pay them back in full.
Tangning and Quan Ziye were serious about this matter. Plenty of people in the industry heard about it. Of course, Tangning did not reveal that Xing Lan had already signed with Hai Rui. At least, now wasn't the right time.
Afterwards, Xing Lan attended a recording for the Journey Competition. When the reporters asked her about the attack, Xing Lan first thanked the person that helped her out and called the police. At the same time, she expressed her determination.
"I will persist until the end of this competition."
"I want to tell everyone that no matter what happens, I will stick to my original goal. Those who use underhanded methods won't last long."
Someone tried to investigate the contestant that had suddenly withdrawn from the competition. But, she did indeed have a hospital record and it appeared that she had broken her right leg.
But, a reporter managed to capture a photo of the contestant outside her home.
The answer was obvious: the broken leg was just an excuse.
As for who provided the address of the contestant, it would soon become a legend.
…
As a result, Lin Qian stayed in the hospital for an entire week.
But, by the time she left the hospital, the matter had already been settled and everyone that was involved had been punished.
She returned to her post because Xing Lan was about to compete again. But, Quan Ziye's manager would send her some chicken soup and some nourishing herbs every now and then.
This made Lin Qian a little sick of it.
"Qian Qian, it's not like you don't know what kind of person your brother is. If you don't finish it, I won't be able to explain myself."
"You'll be fine after you finish it," Lin Qian replied.
"If you don't finish it, I'm going to send it to you another day. It will be him …"
As expected, Lin Qian couldn't stand the threat and had no choice but to finish the chicken soup in one gulp.
Actually, the fact that Lin Qian accepted Quan Ziye's care meant that their relationship had started to warm up again. At least, she no longer rejected Quan Ziye's good intentions.
That night, Xing Lan insisted on taking Lin Qian home. But, it was only when she arrived that she noticed Quan Ziye leaning against Lin Qian's bedroom door.
Xing Lan smiled as she left. Meanwhile, Lin Qian complained, "What's wrong with a popular artist spending the night outside his manager's door?"
"In the eyes of the public, you are my sister," Quan Ziye replied lazily as he crossed his arms.
Lin Qian couldn't be bothered with him as she opened the door. But, Quan Ziye grabbed onto her right hand.
The two froze for a second before Lin Qian finally relented, "Come in."
