#Wen-Ning Couple Arrested for Tax Evasion#

As for He Jinyuan being named by official media as a disgraced artist and blacklisted for meddling in someone else's family and having a chaotic private life, it did not even make a ripple amid the huge scandal of this wealthy couple tearing each other apart.

He Jinyuan was completely finished.

During this time, some insiders also revealed that Wan Zhen had deliberately seduced her cousin-in-law while her cousin was ill, risen to power as the mistress, and that the two of them had fooled around in the hospital room back then and enraged the original wife to death.

There was fresh gossip every day, none of it repeated. Every piece shattered the internet's moral compass anew.

Weibo was as lively as New Year's, and netizens were stuffed full of gossip.

The director, meanwhile, was relieved. He Jinyuan had only filmed for two days, so he did not have many scenes and cutting them would not be difficult.

Elsewhere, based on Chu Xiyue's report letter, the relevant authorities easily found where Wen Yan and Ning Shuixin had hidden their account books. Since the sums involved were enormous, it took them a full week to organize all the evidence before driving to the filming location, planning to arrest Wen Yan and Ning Shuixin.

And this happened to be the day the first episode of "The One She Loves Most" went online.

"The One She Loves Most" was a variety show filmed and broadcast simultaneously. There were livestream feeds during filming, but unless someone was a diehard fan of a particular guest or truly loved the show, it was difficult for ordinary viewers to persist through eight or nine hours of livestreaming every day.

Audiences preferred the condensed highlights after editing, and the edited version also included footage the livestream cameras had missed.

Because of the online uproar, many people were interested in this show—mainly because they wanted to see how Wan Zhen had carried on an affair with He Jinyuan right under Xu Wenchong's nose.

A bloodbath between the original wife and the mistress on the same show was something no other variety program could offer!

Although there were rumors that He Jinyuan's scenes had been completely cut, what if they had not?

Chu Xiyue and the others were also asked by the production team to livestream a watchalong of the first episode.

They sat around the living room sofa. Chu Xiyue sat alone on one side, with Li Fan'er and Zhao Xizhou opposite her, and Wen Yan and Ning Shuixin beside her.

As soon as the time came, the first episode officially went online.

First came each guest's pre-interview. Chu Xiyue's footage flashed by, followed by Li Fan'er, Zhao Xizhou, Wen Yan, and Ning Shuixin. The scenes of He Jinyuan and the Wan Zhen couple that netizens had been looking forward to had been removed, while Miao Qingran and Wei Shaolin's footage remained.

In the footage, Li Fan'er spoke about her partner, Zhao Xizhou, with obvious displeasure.

Zhao Xizhou merely smiled ambiguously and said to the camera, "I'm looking forward to it."

Li Fan'er turned to glance at Zhao Xizhou, only to meet his gaze. She immediately gave a faint, annoyed hum.

Zhao Xizhou was not looking at the screen. His gaze rested on Li Fan'er, his brows relaxed.

Chu Xiyue, who had been secretly watching the two of them: I ship it!

The pre-interviews continued, and Miao Qingran's face appeared onscreen.

Miao Qingran spoke to the camera about her hopes for the future, wearing a sweet smile.

Wei Shaolin mentioned Miao Qingran every other sentence, looking like the perfect devoted boyfriend.

The moment Wei Shaolin appeared, the number of comments surged, all of them cursing him.

After all, anyone who had been online recently knew that Wei Shaolin had nearly ruined a girl's life for his own selfish reasons.

It was not until Wen-Ning and Ning Shuixin appeared that the hostility in the comments eased considerably. Most were declarations of love from Wen-Ning and Ning Shuixin's fans.

Chu Xiyue glanced at Ning Shuixin and Wen Yan, then took a bite of fruit.

Because the scenes of He Jinyuan, Wan Zhen, and Xu Wenchong had been removed, the early portions of the show were incoherent and made for a poor viewing experience. Gradually, some viewers left.

However, with Ning Shuixin and Wen Yan, two highly discussed figures, the early viewership could still hold steady.

But no matter how powerful fans were, they could not compare to the general audience. Slowly, viewers left because the show's segments were boring, and even the livestream comments dwindled.

"The One She Loves Most" had been a flop variety show in the original novel, so this development was not surprising.

The first episode was nearing its end, and the livestream was about to conclude, when a group of people in police uniforms walked in.

The leading officer had well-defined features, swordlike brows, and bright eyes, with an air of righteousness between his brows. He swept his gaze across the room before his sharp eyes landed on Wen Yan and Ning Shuixin.

He pulled out his identification and showed it to them. "Wen Yan, Ning Shuixin, we're from the tax bureau. Someone reported tax issues with your studio. Please come with us."

Netizens:!!!

In the livestream room, netizens who had just finished a boring episode and were dozing off instantly perked up!

At that very moment, the livestream shut off on schedule, leaving only a black screen.

Yet the number of people in the livestream room did not decrease. Instead, it steadily increased. A flood of exclamation marks and question marks filled the black screen, and the comments exploded as everyone fiercely discussed what had been captured in that final second.

[Holy shit!!!!!]

[Did I hear that wrong just now?]

[Why did it cut off at a time like this? Production team, if you've got the guts, keep streaming! What's with cutting it off here?!]

[What did that officer say just now? There's a tax problem with Wen-Ning Studio?]

[Guys, I just went back through the livestream recording. You didn't hear wrong. That official really said Ning Shuixin and Wen Yan had been approached by the authorities over tax issues!]

The tax bureau's uniforms resembled police uniforms somewhat, but up close, the differences were still noticeable.

Unlike the excitement in the livestream room, the villa fell into dead silence after that tax bureau employee in uniform finished speaking.

Everyone's eyes fell on Wen Yan and Ning Shuixin, filled with surprise, curiosity, and scrutiny. The two people involved instantly changed expression.
