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

Chapter 139 Otherwise, I can't possibly take advantage of you guys.

"...Never heard of it."

Ji Wan was somewhat surprised to hear this, but he quickly recalled some details.

"It's a bit strange. They didn't contact me much before, but recently they've been subtly inquiring about my financial situation..."

Deng Lingxuan, standing to the side, gaped in astonishment.

"How could they be in debt...? Aren't your aunt and uncle running their small business perfectly fine?"

"Bet." Sheng Hanyu said only one word, and they immediately understood.

Ji Wan frowned deeply. "Eldest sister and brother-in-law..."

He knew very well that once he got involved with this stuff, it would be like he had no life at all...

“…I found out about this by chance.” Mu Zimo spoke up at Sheng Hanyu’s prompting glance. “I didn’t want to say it originally, after all, we just met by chance. But after spending these past few days with him, I feel that you two are not the same kind of people as him, so I told you.”

Mu Ziming omitted a lot of things, such as how he didn't have much money but still tried to go to a casino on the high seas...

He knew that most of the money belonged to Deng Lingxuan, and it would be too cruel for her to say it out loud.

"But what does it have to do with my cousin going to jail if my aunt and uncle owe money?"

Deng Lingxuan wasn't quite clear about the relationship, so she asked a very naive question.

In her view, this is just a kind of economic dispute. Why not just pay back the money and quit?

Seeing that she seemed completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, Ji Wan said solemnly, "Xuanxuan, you need to understand that gamblers can ruin their families. If they have no money, how will they pay it back? They'll just cheat their relatives and friends. It's one thing to cheat them out of money, but some even cheat them into going abroad to sell their organs..."

He inexplicably recalled that several extras had said they had landed big-budget productions abroad, and then disappeared... He couldn't continue the conversation.

“That’s right,” Mu Zimo was glad there was someone who understood, and immediately felt that Sheng Hanyu’s idea of ​​bringing Ji Wan along to talk was correct. “These people are blinded by gambling and will not recognize even their own family members. They are capable of anything. You have to be careful. There may be danger after this show ends.”

"..." Ji Wan looked worried.

This was the first time he had ever felt such a profound sense of powerlessness.

Things have already come to this point, and it's impossible to persuade them to stop.

Forget about severing ties with relatives, do you think creditors would listen to that?

He's fine, but since he's penniless, there's nothing we can do to him.

Deng Lingxuan is quite famous, making it easier for creditors to come knocking on her door. As a young girl, she has even less chance to protect herself.

Besides... given the exploitative attitude of her sister and brother-in-law, it's hard to say they didn't use Deng Lingxuan's name as collateral...

“So… at least Gao Feibai won’t be tricked into selling his organs by his biological parents while he’s in prison,” Sheng Hanyu smiled. “Isn’t that safe?”

Mu Zimo sometimes really felt that Sheng Hanyu was more like a mafia prince than he was, especially when he talked about these things with a smile on his face...

"So, is there any way to solve this?"

Deng Lingxuan, who had been stunned for a long time by the sheer volume of information, suddenly spoke.

She looked at the two of them as if she had mustered a lot of courage, and asked, "I mean, is there any way to avoid being affected by them?"

Sheng Hanyu was somewhat surprised to hear her words.

He thought Deng Lingxuan was going to say something like "I'll help them pay it back," but it seems she really has woken up.

"There is a way...," Sheng Hanyu said after thinking for a while.

Deng Lingxuan seemed to have found hope and cheered up, and even the dejected Ji Wan perked up.

"But the problem now is... why should I help you?"

Mu Zimo: I knew this person was even better than me...

"I'm sorry, Professor Sheng," Deng Lingxuan immediately apologized. "I was too hasty. I should have figured out a solution myself. I'm sorry..."

“That’s not right.” Sheng Hanyu smiled at her. “When you’re in trouble, you have to use every available resource. You’re the right person to ask me.”

Although he basically only needed to give a heads-up about this, his relationship with Deng Lingxuan wasn't that good.

This is different from simply lending a helping hand in everyday life.

Deng Lingxuan and Ji Wan could only remain silent.

They didn't have any conditions to offer in exchange, and they couldn't just say "we owe you a favor," could they?

What right do they have to owe Sheng Hanyu a favor?

You don't realize it in everyday life, but when something happens, you discover that class divides do exist in this world.

"How about this," Mu Zimo said, "we should ask Master Ye if he's interested in fighting crime."

Sheng Hanyu glanced at him in surprise.

How could you think of such a tricky angle?

He simply didn't want to help others for no reason, as it wouldn't be good for him or for the person he was helping.

Sheng Hanyu didn't think too much and quickly nodded, "If Master Ye is interested, this matter can be discussed in the future. My suggestion is that you talk to Master Ye first."

“Then I’ll ask now.” Deng Lingxuan sent a message to Ye Sanqing without hesitation.

If we're talking about who else besides Sheng Hanyu could help, it would be Ye Sanqing.

Although there were theoretically other people, Deng Lingxuan knew that if even Sheng Hanyu and Ye Sanqing were unwilling to help her, then it was even more impossible for others, whom she was even less familiar with.

Soon there was a knock on the door.

Ye Sanqing had just finished showering when he saw a seemingly serious message from Deng Lingxuan, so he immediately came over.

"What's going on?" Ye Sanqing asked as he entered, looking quite surprised to see Sheng Hanyu and the other man. "So lively?"

"Master Ye, my uncle and I have a problem that we need your opinion on." Deng Lingxuan recounted what had happened and then looked at Ye Sanqing with pleading eyes.

Ye Sanqing: ...

[It's practically a self-fulfilling prophecy! I just said I was the nemesis of evil...]

【Master, crack down on crime immediately!】The little bug sounded rather spirited for some reason.

So actually... why did he have to involve me when he could have just asked?

Ye Sanqing stared speechlessly at Sheng Hanyu, who shrugged.

It must be said that she actually understood the other person.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

If they were friends, Ye Sanqing would naturally help if she could, but she didn't consider herself to be a friend to Deng Lingxuan...

Moreover, sending Gao Feibai in was, in a way, already helping the other side.

Besides, making a small talk to settle things is a completely different matter from taking down an entire criminal organization.

"Please wait a moment." Ye Sanqing thought for a moment and sent a message to Jiang Wendong.

What are your thoughts on Deng Lingxuan's acting skills? And what about Ji Wan?

[A Promising Future] Jiang Wendong quickly replied, along with a PowerPoint presentation.

Ye Sanqing opened the document and found a detailed analysis of the two of them, including the roles they had played, their strengths and weaknesses, and suggestions for their future development.

It seems that Jiang Wendong has done a good job.

Ye Sanqing couldn't help but sigh at how good he was at using people. He gave Sheng Hanyu a look and then turned to Deng Lingxuan.

To be honest, fighting crime wasn't her original intention. It's just that she herself is a law-abiding person who sets an example by her own conduct, so she naturally wouldn't let those who break the law get away with it.

Aside from the slippery Ye Wanyin being really difficult to deal with...

“I can help, but on the condition that you sign up here.”

Ye Sanqing said.

"Is that all?" Deng Lingxuan asked uncertainly.

She had planned to sever ties with her family and hadn't officially signed any agency contract with her mother; it was a matter of leaving on a whim.

Ji Wan also raised his head. Even he could do it?

"Otherwise, I can't very well take advantage of you guys, can I?" Ye Sanqing joked. "You're all mine now, so naturally I'll protect you."

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Sheng Hanyu, who was standing nearby, inexplicably started to overthink things after hearing these words.

The feeling of being protected by Ye Sanqing... sounds pretty good.

“Okay.” Deng Lingxuan made the decision immediately.

"Me too." Although Ji Wan didn't know what the future held for Ye Sanqing, he figured it couldn't be worse than his current situation.

“Okay, I’ll talk to the agent now, and you can discuss the details with her.” Ye Sanqing pushed Jiang Wendong’s business card to the two of them. “Once we’ve reached an agreement, we should be able to send you the electronic contract soon.”

She stood up and said, "Then I'll head back first, what about you?"

Sheng Hanyu knew that the glance she gave him earlier meant she still had something to say, "We're going back now, you two should get some rest."

"I'm going back now," Mu Zimo said as soon as he stepped out of the room.

His role was simply to deliver the message; there shouldn't be anything else for him to do for now.

The two nodded, and then Sheng Hanyu followed Ye Sanqing to her and Gong Yao's room.

Gong Yao should still be in Pei Canxing's room, as there is no one else in the room at this time.

However, there's no need to specifically avoid mentioning Gong Yao in this matter.

"You really are something. You won't help them unless I ask?" Ye Sanqing sat down and said with a hint of reproach in his voice.

But Sheng Hanyu knew that she didn't really blame him.

If Ye Sanqing was unhappy, he would definitely turn around and leave as soon as he heard these words.

“Although I can help directly, I have no plans to sign anyone. It wouldn’t make sense either way. Why don’t you sign me too, Master Ye?” Sheng Hanyu said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Ye Sanqing examined him closely.

It doesn't seem to work?

"Are you serious? If you are, I'm going to tell my manager."

"Just kidding, my studio is also in the planning stages."

Sheng Hanyu just had a sudden idea after thinking about Ye Sanqing's words about "protecting you".

Ye Sanqing didn't take it seriously and continued speaking.

"So how did you find out about their family... no, shouldn't your senior have found out first?" Ye Sanqing recalled the way Mu Zimo had whispered in Gao Feibai's ear earlier.

Besides, the fact that Mu Zimo was there just now speaks volumes.

"What is his identity?" Ye Sanqing asked, focusing on the key point.

"..." Sheng Hanyu whispered a few words into her ear.

After all, you can't say this out loud...

"Really?" Ye Sanqing also lowered his voice.

So when Gong Yao opened the door and came in, he saw the two of them standing very close together, seemingly very intimate.

Gong Yao: !!!
