"Hello, we have received a report that someone stole Mr. Jiang Mingxi's voice recorder and maliciously edited the audio from it to post online to spread rumors and smear Mr. Jiang Mingxi. Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation."
As soon as the gate opened, the police officers at the entrance showed their work badges.
The assistant was so frightened that he staggered back a few steps, his face filled with terror, and looked in horror at the other people in the room who were looking in their direction.
Ji Hanyu's agent felt a jolt of alarm and quickly walked towards the door. "Hello comrade, is there some misunderstanding? No one stole Jiang Mingxi's things."
"Today, my artist and his assistant were filming an endorsement with Jiang Mingxi at Spring Slumber, but Jiang Mingxi left early. If he lost something, shouldn't he have gone to Spring Slumber to look for it? Why would he suspect us?"
"This is outrageous. What Jiang Mingxi did online has nothing to do with us."
"You can't just arrest people based on reports! My artist is a public figure. If he's taken away for investigation, do you know how much dirty stuff awaits him..."
Before Ji Hanyu's agent could finish speaking...
One of the police officers turned his tablet around, pointing the screen at Ji Hanyu's agent.
"Mr. Jiang Mingxi's voice recorder had location settings added, and we found this place based on those settings."
Upon seeing the two almost overlapping small red dots flashing on the flat screen, Ji Hanyu's agent was so shocked he almost couldn't breathe.
Beside him, the assistant was so frightened that her legs went weak and she leaned against the wall.
Ji Hanyu stood pale-faced beside the sofa, staring in horror at the police officer who entered and the tablet in his hand.
Is Jiang Mingxi sick?!
Can a voice recorder also locate a location?
Aaaaaaaahh...
"Here."
Amidst Ji Hanyu's horrified rage, the police entered and quickly found the recording pen.
After all, the voice recorder was just casually placed on the table when they came in.
Ji Hanyu suppressed his fear and said, "This was something my assistant accidentally brought back while packing. We didn't know it belonged to Jiang Mingxi. We were planning to take it with us to Spring Slumber tomorrow to ask who lost it."
Even if this belongs to Jiang Mingxi, it doesn't prove we stole it; we just brought it back by accident.
Ji Hanyu's assistant quickly said, "Yes, yes, it was Jiang Mingxi who bribed Spring Slumber's photographer to make things difficult for Teacher Ji. Teacher Ji was tortured for a long time before the shoot ended. We were exhausted when we returned, so we accidentally packed the wrong things."
"When I got back and found this in my bag, I took it out immediately. We didn't touch it."
Ji Hanyu's agent then said, "Comrades, you can't judge us as thieves just because this recording pen is here. The assistant can cooperate with you to go back and accept the investigation, but Ji Hanyu definitely won't go with you."
"As for other issues, our company will send a lawyer over soon."
The police officer who picked up the recorder smiled slightly and slowly unscrewed it. "This recorder not only has a GPS tracker, but there's also a smaller recorder inside. Mr. Jiang Mingxi said he turned on the smaller one."
Wh... what?
Before anyone present could process what he said...
The police had already unscrewed the recording pen and pulled out an extremely fine pen.
There was a small red light at the tip of the pen, which was flashing and seemed to be making a sound: Hehehehehe!
With everyone in the room staring at the little red light, their hearts pounding and their legs weak, the police officer pressed the play button.
"Teacher Ji, look what I got!"
"I stole Jiang Mingxi's voice recorder."
"The effect of him releasing the recording himself is quite different from when we edit it and release it. I just called Sister Li, Sister Li she'll be here in a bit."
"We'll cut out Jiang Mingxi's voice, and then Teacher Ji will re-record a few lines and put them in. That way, no one will doubt it, since it's Jiang Mingxi's real voice."
"Have you made contact with the marketing accounts yet? The press releases should start being sent out gradually."
"We must make everyone believe that Bai Zheming and Jiang Mingxi have an improper relationship, preferably leading them to think of him as a prostitute."
"And that role with Director Zheng, he only got it because he was sexually harassed by Bai Zheming."
As the voice from the recorder played, Ji Hanyu, pale-faced and trembling, slumped onto the sofa behind him.
This recording pen contains not only the assistant's voice and the agent's voice, but also his.
He can't clear his name.
Jiang Mingxi!
You bitch!
You did it on purpose!
You did it on purpose!
You ruined me!
Driven by immense terror, Ji Hanyu's survival instinct kicked in. He abruptly stood up, stepped forward, and grabbed the policeman's hand. "Please, please let me go! I'll do anything you ask! Just don't let him go! If he's released, I'm finished! Please, I'll do anything!"
He suddenly reached out and grabbed the policeman's hand.
The policeman was so frightened that he took a step back, quickly shook off the officer, and said warily, "Don't come any closer!"
Ji Hanyu, finding himself caught off guard, reached up to unbutton his shirt. "I'll do anything, just let me go, please."
As he was about to unbutton his shirt, several policemen's expressions changed drastically. They rushed forward, pinned him down, and handcuffed him behind his back.
He was suddenly pinned to the ground, Ji Hanyu's fear turned into rage. His face was pressed against the ground as he roared and cursed, " Jiang Mingxi, you'll die a horrible death! You deliberately framed me! You're the one who ruined me!"
Ji Hanyu, along with his agent, assistant, and a technician from the company, were all arrested, leaving Ji Hanyu's agency in a state of panic.
Several senior executives held a meeting overnight.
"What an idiot! Has he gone mad? To get Jiang Mingxi, he actually dragged Bai Zheming and Song Lan into this mess! How many heads does he have to mess with Bai Zheming and Song Lan!" The company boss cursed angrily.
A high-ranking executive who usually had a good relationship with Ji Hanyu pleaded on his behalf, "This time, he was both robbed of his role in Director Zheng's drama and his endorsement by Jiang Mingxi Jiang Mingxi, so it's normal for him to be a little unhappy. The main thing is that no one expected that Jiang Mingxi's recording pen was actually a nested doll."
" Ji Hanyu has earned a lot of money for the company in the past few years, and he usually gets along well with the other popular artists in the company."
"If this incident gets out, it will not only affect him, but also several other artists in the company. In the end, the company will suffer the most damage."
The company CEO slammed his fist on the table in exasperation. "How are we supposed to get him out of this? He's been smearing Jiang Mingxi all over the internet; this is exactly what he's been waiting for—a counterattack. What do you expect me to use to shut Jiang Mingxi up? Resources or money?"
"Which member of the Song Family can't afford Jiang Mingxi?"
"Do you think the Song Family is dead? Just standing by and watching Jiang Mingxi get framed without doing anything in return?"
The higher-ups knew this was a difficult matter, but Ji Hanyu had some leverage over him and was extremely anxious. He said, "Could we start with the Jiang Family? If we could get leverage from the Jiang Family that could threaten Jiang Mingxi, then we could talk about this."
"Or maybe it's Zhang Lin's side. Zhang Lin was arrested, and they're also eager to use their connections. Zhang Lin has been close to the Song Family these past few years. If he has any dirt on the Song Family, that would be useful too."
