Bai Ziyu and Ji Lan Sentenced! Jiang Fang Joins a Talent Show

A talent show?

Looking for him?

Jiang Fang did not react for a moment. He admitted that he had been quite popular lately, but no matter what, he was still an amateur. It had not reached the point where a director would personally call to invite him, right?

Something was definitely suspicious.

Just like how the original owner had suddenly been approached by the Wilderness Survival variety show, only to end up dead.

"Why would the director come looking for me?"

Jiang Fang asked tentatively.

The person on the other end laughed it off, saying something about having watched Jiang Fang's previous variety show and thought he was pretty good, that Director Jiang had recommended him, and so on.

Jiang Fang did not believe a single word.

"Then let me think about it."

The person on the other end repeatedly agreed.

After hanging up, Jiang Fang thought about it and felt like he had overlooked something.

Talent show contestants were supposed to sign up themselves, or at worst, have their companies sign them up. He did not know that director either. Unless someone behind the scenes had made a request?

This question...

He had it!

Jiang Fang's eyes lit up as he dialed a number.

The call was answered almost the instant it connected.

"Jiang Fang?"

"Brother Yan, I want to ask you something. Do you know the show Trainee?"

On set.

Qin Yan had just finished filming when his assistant brought him his phone.

He glanced at the caller ID.

It was Jiang Fang.

He had only carved out time from his busy schedule to join the variety show. After all, the director had said he only needed to keep seven days free. Jiang Fang's variety show had ended early before, and Qin Yan had originally planned to help him settle things before leaving, but the director here had been urging him.

"Jiang Fang?"

"Trainee? I've heard of it. I'll ask around for you."

After saying that, he looked at his assistant. "Xiaowen, do you know much about that talent show, Trainee?"

"Trainee?" The young assistant froze for a moment.

"Oh, that show previously invited Brother Qin to make a guest appearance, but Sister Guan turned it down for you. I heard they're currently looking for mentors. They've contacted the queen of song, Qiu Qian, and Duan Yu, who debuted in first place on a previous talent show. Oh, right! There's also Brother Fang! But I heard the contestants are still in the audition stage."

The assistant told him nearly everything he knew.

With the receiver on speaker, Jiang Fang heard every word clearly as well.

"It's like this. The production team's director called to invite me to join the talent show. I was thinking, aren't talent show contestants supposed to sign up voluntarily? Brother Yan, could you help me find out who asked the director to invite me?"

Qin Yan immediately thought of Wilderness Survival, since the impression it had left was too deep.

He had looked into it afterward. Jiang Fang had participated as an amateur because Bai Ziyu had asked the director to arrange it.

Now, history was repeating itself.

Could there be someone else behind Bai Ziyu?

Qin Yan's thoughts began to wander unconsciously.

"Don't worry. I'll definitely find out for you." The last time Jiang Fang had inexplicably entered a variety show, it had nearly cost him his life. This time, they had to investigate it thoroughly. "I'll notify you immediately once I find out."

Jiang Fang nodded.

"Thanks."

See? That was the advantage of having connections in the entertainment industry.

Half a month later.

Because Jiang Fang's identity was special, the public security bureau expedited the process as well.

In the end, Bai Ziyu was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for two attempted murders with serious circumstances. He should originally have received ten years, but because of what happened with Ji Lan, Jiang Fang's value had shot up, comparable to that of a national treasure panda.

Another charge was added: harming an important national researcher.

That added another five years.

As for Ji Lan—

She was ultimately sentenced to ten years in prison for intentional injury, disrupting public order, and harming an important national researcher.

Ji Lan's parents.

They had not committed anything major, only acted unethically. The investigation found that the Ji family had not communicated with foreign personnel and were not spies. Therefore, they were detained for a month, underwent education, and were fined, ultimately paying out all the money they had previously earned from netizens.

Once the results were announced.

Bai Ziyu and the Ji family were both stunned.

Bai Ziyu had known the White family would not help him once he saw Bai Yelei, but he never imagined that Jiang Fang would be completely fine while he himself would be sentenced to fifteen years!

Fifteen years!

His youth and his career were all ruined!

"How is that possible?! I refuse to accept this! I want to appeal! Jiang Fang is completely fine, so why am I being sentenced to fifteen years?! I want to appeal!" He gripped the bars with both hands and roared about appealing, his face twisted viciously.

The same scene played out with the Ji family.

When Ji Lan heard that she was going to prison for ten years, her entire mind went blank.

"Ten years?"

Not ten days, and not ten months?

Ten years?

"Impossible! Impossible! There must be some mistake! I looked it up—I'm underage, and Jiang Fang wasn't even hurt, so why am I being sentenced to ten years? Why?! There must be something shady going on! Right! It must be Jiang Fang! I want a lawyer, I want to see a judge, I want to appeal!"

"Mom, Dad, where are you? Help me! Help me find a lawyer! I'm your only daughter!"

"Why did this happen? Why did this happen?"

Ji Lan's hair was disheveled and her eyes were red. The bleak future filled her with uncontrollable fear. She collapsed weakly to the floor as huge tears streamed down her face.

Jiang Fang's provocative face seemed to appear before her.

"You're clearly completely fine! Why are you trying to destroy me?! Jiang Fang, you'll get what's coming to you!"

"Right! As long as Jiang Fang was willing to issue a letter of forgiveness, she could definitely get out."

Thinking of that, Ji Lan impatiently shook the iron bars.

"I want to see Jiang Fang! I want to see Jiang Fang!"

Ji Lan's parents nearly fainted when they heard the news.

How—how was their daughter going to be sentenced to ten years?

She still had to attend university. After ten years, how would she support them when she got out?!

And they had only gone to beg Jiang Fang. How had that resulted in a month of detention?

Ji Lan's parents immediately began crying in the detention room.

Jiang Fang was rather surprised when he received news of how those people had been dealt with. Their punishments were quite severe.

He did not know how those people reacted, but he felt pretty damn good about it.

It was just a pity that more than ten years could not bring back the original owner's life.

With that thought, Jiang Fang's raised lips fell again.

He had not been idle these past few days either. He had originally thought he would need to make some moves regarding Bai Ziyu after getting out, but unexpectedly, B University handled it before he could. Some impressive upperclassmen had even analyzed the video and handed it directly to the police. It was ironclad evidence, which was why the police had come so quickly.

Then there had been the acid attack on his side, and the university president had even called him personally to ask about it.

It made Jiang Fang repeatedly sigh over how wonderful it was to have people protecting him.

He had personally called to thank them too. When the semester began, he could bring some small gifts over.

As for the upperclassmen from B University who had spoken up for him, Jiang Fang directly slipped into B University's forum and made a post thanking them.

It drew countless onlookers.

Before even starting school, Jiang Fang had already become a notable figure among this year's students.

He even had fans at the university.

Because Jiang Fang's case had such widespread influence, many people had been waiting for the result. Therefore, once the punishments were decided, the public security bureau immediately released an official notice.

Of course, the charge of intentionally harming an important national researcher was not made public.

After all, Jiang Fang was like a giant panda now. They could not afford for anything to happen to him.

Losing Jiang Fang would mean losing a major opportunity for the country to advance!

[@City B Public Security Bureau V: Recently, two criminal cases occurred in our city, severely affecting... The City B XX District People's Court publicly delivered its first-instance verdict in the attempted murder case involving defendant Bai Ziyu. Defendant Bai Ziyu committed attempted murder twice under serious circumstances and was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for multiple offenses...

The City B XX District People's Court publicly delivered its first-instance verdict in the case of defendant Ji Lan for attempted intentional injury. Ji Lan disrupted public order and showed no remorse. Given the serious circumstances and the fact that she was in fact already eighteen years old, she was sentenced to ten years in prison for multiple offenses. Ji Lan's parents deliberately disrupted public order, were fined 5,000 yuan, and detained for one month...]

Once the public notice was released, everything was officially settled.

No matter how much Bai Ziyu's fans kicked up a fuss, they could not change the fact that their idol had committed crimes.

[Ptui! Serves him right!]

[Witnessing history. Yuyu has finally gone in to work the sewing machine. At least the prison entertainment gala has someone now. Truly the number one man in the entertainment industry.]

[I'm really curious what Bai Ziyu's fans can still say now. Didn't they claim Jiang Fang set him up before? Set him up how? By risking his life? Are the fans blind? That scene of Jiang Fang skydiving still makes my heart race. If he had made even the slightest mistake, he would have been turned into paste. I even think fifteen years isn't enough!]

[Hehe, now he'll be working that sewing machine until it shoots sparks.]

[But what does sentencing for multiple offenses mean? I understand it for Ji Lan, but didn't Bai Ziyu only commit attempted murder?]

[Holy shit! The public security bureau has to make sure everything is accurate before posting this, right? Could Bai Ziyu have committed something else too?]

[Still, isn't Ji Lan's sentence way too harsh? Ten years? She can't even go to university anymore.]

[Heh, too harsh? Let someone throw acid on you in public and then you'll understand! Ji Lan really chased idols until she threw away her brain. She even showed no remorse!! Idol fans, take a look at this. Support your idols rationally!]

This matter had finally come to an end, and Jiang Fang felt a weight lift from his heart.

He stood on the balcony, looking out at the distant scenery. He touched his chest and let out a long sigh.

It counted as revenge.

Next, he would live his own life.

As for the secrets behind the White family, he did not want to pursue them anymore.

As for Lin Sen—

He could have some fun with him.

Not long after he asked Qin Yan, Qin Yan got back to him.

Qin Yan was a Best Actor, and behind him stood the powerful Qin family. Compared to that, the Lin Family behind Lin Sen was nothing much.

So it had been easy enough to investigate.

It was Lin Sen who had asked the director to invite Jiang Fang to participate in the talent show, and Lin Sen was also one of the investors in Trainee.

"Lin Sen..."

But why?

Wilderness Survival had already made it clear that Lin Sen definitely had no goodwill toward him. He even harbored hatred.

So this time was definitely not out of kindness either.

As Jiang Fang thought, he scrolled through Weibo.

Suddenly, his hand paused.

A video appeared before his eyes.

It was a trailer for the original owner's participation in Wilderness Survival. Having just finished the college entrance exams, he looked especially youthful and was extremely excited about appearing on a variety show.

A familiar voice from the interview video entered his ears.

"I'm very lucky to have received this opportunity... I don't have any particular talents. Dancing? Don't even mention it. My limbs aren't coordinated at all..."

Jiang Fang froze.

Then he smiled.

So that was why? Then Lin Sen had miscalculated.

What the original owner could not do did not mean he could not do it.

But before joining the show, he still had to inform Minister Qin. He only hoped the minister would not blame him for neglecting his proper duties.

After all, he was only a prospective university student who had just graduated from high school. It was perfectly normal for him to enjoy having a little fun~
