After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 194 Returning to Simplicity

Since the conversation had already started, Cheng Yanye naturally agreed and turned on his phone.

As he expected, no one offered him any condolences; instead, a few gloating messages asked if he was dead.

However, now is not the time to wallow in self-pity over such things, so Cheng Yanye quickly opened Weibo.

Shocking! A popular young actress was spotted entering and leaving the same place with three men...

[A famous actress and a top male star were spotted spending Christmas together, sparking rumors of a possible romance]

Such examples are numerous.

"..." Cheng Yanye was speechless as he flipped through the pages. "That's it?"

Marketing accounts are afraid of being sued for being too specific, so they just write vague statements accompanied by some photos. Basically, their posts lack any real impact, and the comments below are full of mockery.

He also noticed that the incident of forcing people to drink alcohol briefly trended on social media yesterday before being removed by the Hua family.

Now there are practically no traces left.

"This is already considered a scandal," Ye Siqing shook her head and sighed. "Compared to that, what happened between you and me is nothing, and I'm not a public figure, so I don't care. What do you think?"

He extended his right hand as he spoke, clearly intending to shake hands and make peace.

"What do I care?" Driven by an instinctive refusal to admit defeat, Cheng Yanye reached out and shook hands with Ye Siqing. "But you really can't just stand by and watch me die. I almost choked to death yesterday."

“I know. Wait, isn’t this you…” Ye Siqing glanced at her phone and saw a notification about Tong Wuyu.

He wanted to say, "Isn't this your woman?" but ultimately didn't, since it was hard to say what their relationship was now.

"What does she have to do with me?" Cheng Yanye hadn't expected that Tong Wuyu had run away, but there was still news about her.

"This...is this what she used to look like?" Ye Siqing didn't have time to think about what was wrong with his answer. She opened the message and looked at it, and said in surprise.

Tong Wuyu, for reasons unknown, actually went to the church to volunteer during Christmas.

Of course, it's not surprising that she goes to church abroad, but it seems she had surgery to remove all her implants, and now the only artificial trace on her face is her overly exaggerated double eyelids.

And while it can be considered doing a good deed, what kind of thing is it to do it abroad?

As a result, there were quite a few sarcastic and eccentric people among them.

But some people say that since she admitted her mistake, she should be given a chance. Besides, she didn't do anything particularly heinous. Shouldn't she be allowed to continue living?

So naturally, the two sides started fighting again.

"Uh. I really don't know." Cheng Yanye was also taken aback when he saw the almost completely unfamiliar face on the screen.

Now that things have come to this, he no longer believes that Tong Wuyu truly has any feelings for him.

Cheng Yanye had to admit that he had been really stupid before, so stupid that passersby would want to come up and take a bite out of him.

However, Tong Wuyu at least didn't kick him when he was down, and in a way, she helped him clear his name, unlike Ye Wanyin who still wants to bite him now.

"Who exactly is this guy surnamed Lu? Should I cancel the engagement first?" Cheng Yanye asked, thinking of Ye Wanyin.

His feelings were complicated, after all, Ye Wanyin could no longer be considered his fiancée.

In other words, if things have escalated to this point online and they're going to sue each other, it's practically a direct step towards divorce, and there's no point in continuing the engagement.

Cheng Yanye felt as if something was missing, something empty.

"I'm not quite sure, it would be best to ask... ask Second Brother," Ye Siqing said after thinking for a while.

In his view, it was only fair that Ye Wanyin had slept with another man. However, Ye Siqing had just missed Lu Wangqian's appearance, and no one else had explained it to him in detail, so he was genuinely unaware.

But now that the engagement is in jeopardy, it's hard to say whether it's fair or not.

Anyway, Ye Siqing's opinion is that no matter what man Ye Wanyin chooses, as long as she's happy, that's all that matters.

"Okay, let me rest for a while. We'll talk again when I'm better." Cheng Yanye shifted, preparing to lie down and rest.

"I'll be going now." Ye Siqing stood up and helped him put his pillow away. "Contact me if anything comes up."

When Tong Wuyu's message was sent, Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu were having tea.

This hospital isn't far from the club where Ye Yifan used to have long-term private rooms.

There was nothing for them to do after leaving the hospital. Having just eaten breakfast, it was obviously not a good time to have lunch, so Sheng Hanyu suggested that they go somewhere to sit for a while.

His original intention for coming today was not to visit Cheng Yanye, but to make good use of his rare free time to spend with Ye Sanqing.

Ye Sanqing thought of this club, so he called Ye Yifan and obtained permission to use the private room.

"What kind of move is Tong Wuyu making?" Ye Sanqing was also very puzzled by this.

Sheng Hanyu did not answer; he first looked up at the waiter next to him.

Ye Sanqing understood and waved for the waiter to go outside.

She paid special attention to the waiter's name tag when she came in; it read "Xiao Fu".

To be honest, it's quite unusual for someone surnamed Fu to be a waiter...

Ye Sanqing didn't pay much attention, but he was certain that this person was the same one who had smelled fragrance last time.

The person who has been able to stay by Ye Yifan's side for so long must be extraordinary; it's just a matter of knowing in what way.

Xiao Fu naturally withdrew and closed the door behind him.

"She's taking a back-to-basics approach, but I wonder if it has anything to do with my senior," Sheng Hanyu said, slowly raising her teacup.

“If it was his arrangement…” Ye Sanqing thought of Mu Zimo and sighed, “then it probably has little to do with the Chinese entertainment industry.”

“Yes, if she still wants to be an internet celebrity, then the way it is abroad is completely different.” Sheng Hanyu nodded. “This senior... probably just doesn’t want the investment to lose money. After all, ensuring someone’s safety over there is not so easy.”

"Then I owe this person a huge favor?" Ye Sanqing said jokingly.

“That’s true…” Sheng Hanyu wanted to say, specifically, it doesn’t seem to be something you owe… actually no one owes him anything, but it’s really not convenient to say too much. “No, I don’t think so.”

"I know, everything is just a natural progression." Ye Sanqing wasn't particularly concerned about whether he owed anything or not; he figured he could always pay it back. "Speaking of which, is there any news from the dark web?"

Sheng Hanyu asked the waiter to leave, actually intending to discuss this matter.

"As far as he knows, this is a fairly large organization, and they are still selling videos, seemingly unaffected. In other words, it's just one of their strongholds, and they haven't suffered any substantial damage."

"It's very big... Is it in the country?" Ye Sanqing asked, frowning.

She remembered the cold, dark dungeon.

The police are still investigating, but some bodies have been unearthed from the back of the mountain, bringing the death toll to more than ten.

If this is just the tip of the iceberg, it is obvious that the foundation of this organization is extremely difficult to shake.
