Chapter 936: 680 One wave subsides another wave emerges_2

"Ask the production team or someone else."

Yin Dailan had an epiphany, quickly grabbed her phone from the sofa, turned it back on, and started making calls.

After asking around, she finally obtained the contact information for the other party’s agent, and uncharacteristically, under her boyfriend’s gaze, she dialed the number with a squeezed out affectionate smile, "Ms. Xia, right? This is Yin Dailan, is Zhu Xuan there? I need to talk to her about something..."

"Zhu Xuan isn’t here."

The tone of the person on the other end was neither cold nor warm.

Yin Dailan suppressed her embarrassment, "Then when is she free? I’ll call back later."

"If Miss Yin has something to say, you can tell me directly, I will pass on the message."

"It’s nothing much, Ms. Xia, please bother yourself to pass a message to Zhu Xuan for me, ask her to call me back when she has the time, thank you."

Yin Dailan was able to be humble and to assert oneself, in the face of grim reality, she completely let go of her pride.

"It’s no use."

After ending the call, Yin Dailan put down the phone. Although the other party had promised to pass on the message, she knew it was just a brush-off.

Huang Zhongshuo wasn’t surprised at all; he had heard the entire conversation.

It’s that old saying, if a simple apology could solve problems, then what would we need the police for?

But whether or not it would have any effect, expressing an attitude of acknowledging one’s mistake was both necessary and essential.

"What exactly did you do?"

Without waiting for his girlfriend to speak, Huang Zhongshuo emphasized, "If you want to solve the problem, don’t hide anything, tell me everything exactly as it happened."

Yin Dailan bit her lip, her voice faint, "During one recording, I pushed her into a pond."

Huang Zhongshuo frowned but didn’t explode, and still relatively calmly asked, "What else?"

"We had to start a fire for cooking, and the show actually required us to go chop wood on the mountain. I always made her go..."

"So, you were treating her like a servant?"

Huang Zhongshuo’s temples throbbed, "I’ve always told you to be kind to others. Why do you have to target her?"

How could Yin Dailan provide a definite reason? Could she simply say it’s jealousy between women, just not liking her for being her?

"It’s already happened; what’s the use of discussing this now?"

"..."

Huang Zhongshuo was lost for words, and after a long silence said, "It seems we really can’t blame others. Now we can only hope she will show mercy."

Yin Dailan felt embarrassed and her pride took over, "She’s already forced me to come to Gangcheng, and I haven’t really hurt her, what more does she want?"

"I just won’t go back to the inland, isn’t that enough!"

Of course, this was said in anger.

Now, as Gangcheng’s entertainment industry rapidly withered, local artists were seeking opportunities elsewhere, nobody could afford to give up the vast market of the inland.

Huang Zhongshuo suddenly fell silent, looking at her.

"What’s wrong?"

Yin Dailan asked, puzzled.

"Fading out of the entertainment industry might not be such a bad thing. Marry me and be a full-time wife."

Yin Dailan was caught off guard and instantly went stiff.

"At a time like this, you’re still in the mood to joke."

"I’m not joking."

Huang Zhongshuo looked serious, "I’m not young anymore, it’s time for me to have a home."

Yin Dailan’s eyes shifted constantly.

With Huang Zhongshuo’s status, of course, she was willing to marry him, but not in this way.

A woman absolutely cannot lose her autonomy; being a full-time wife means completely sacrificing herself, which she couldn’t accept.

"This is too sudden, Zhong Suo, I’m not ready yet. Can we talk about this later?"

Huang Zhongshuo didn’t say anything.

Yin Dailan grabbed her boyfriend’s hand, "Zhong Suo, if we get married at this time, the pressure on you would be too great, I can’t be that selfish. I must marry you at my best, you promised to give me a perfect wedding, but a perfect wedding is not enough with just one person, it requires both people to be in their best condition."

One has to admit, there’s a reason Yin Dailan has gotten to where she is today, to have benefactors willingly offer their help.

Huang Zhongshuo took her hand in return and nodded gently.

Yin Dailan smiled softly.

"Ding Ling Ling..."

The ringing suddenly broke out.

Shattering the warm atmosphere.

Yin Dailan picked up the phone and saw it was her agent. She didn’t want to answer; she needn’t guess to know what it was about.

But she couldn’t really play missing. Watching the phone ring for seven or eight seconds, she finally pressed the answer key.

"Sister Lai."

"Where are you now? I just tried to call you, why couldn’t I get through?!"

The other end sounded exceptionally stern.

"I’m in Gangcheng, my phone was dead just now."

"Gangcheng? Do you think you can hide?"

"Sister Lai, what else can I do right now if not hide?"

"I have a suggestion for you, cooperate actively with the investigation."

Upon hearing this, Yin Dailan’s mind went blank as she listened to the serious tone on the other end of the phone.

Cooperate with the investigation?

"Lai Jie, what are you talking about? I’m a bit lost..."

"You already know to run off to Gangcheng, are you still trying to hide it from me? Are you with Zhong Suo now?"

Yin Dailan glanced at her boyfriend next to her, and subconsciously "mm-hmed."

"Give the phone to him."

With her mind going blank, Yin Dailan slowly put down the phone and handed it to Huang Zhongshuo, "Lai Jie."

Her current agent, secured for her by Huang Zhongshuo, was quite influential in the industry.

Huang Zhongshuo took the phone and switched to speaker mode.

"Zhong Suo, take her back immediately. While it’s still early, the consequences will only be more serious the later it gets."

Not mentioning Yin Dailan, even Huang Zhongshuo himself was a bit confused at the moment.

"She’s not in a position to show her face right now."

"Not in a position to show her face? Does that mean she has to wait until she is wanted for arrest?"

Huang Zhongshuo furrowed his brows deeply, sensing something was amiss.

Those simple scandals couldn’t possibly warrant such a response.

"What else happened?"

"You don’t know yet?"

The voice from the speaker phone grew louder, "No one has dared to tell you, have they? I’m telling you, the tax bureau has received a report indicating she’s suspected of tax evasion and money laundering. They are currently considering opening a case."

Because it was on speakerphone, Yin Dailan heard it very clear, her head buzzed all of a sudden like a thunderous blow, making her feel as if the world was spinning.

Huang Zhongshuo was also stunned.

"I just got this news, and I’m not joking with you. It’s absolutely true, and the relevant departments are taking it very seriously. You need to be mentally prepared."

Huang Zhongshuo moved his lips but had no idea what to say.

Yin Dailan’s face turned deathly pale, completely void of color.

"I understand. I’ll contact you later."

"Better make it quick."

The call ended.

The screen went dark.

Inside the untouchable luxury mansion, a deadly silence pervaded.

Good fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortune does not come singly.

She hadn’t yet dealt with the scandal when another thunderbolt struck.

Compared to the message from the agent, the scandal immediately seemed insignificant.

After all, a scandal only affects reputation and public persona, merely a moral issue, but tax evasion and money laundering are criminal offenses!

Once the charges are established, not to mention continuing her career, that meant facing jail time!

Of course.

There have been instances where a glamorous public figure ended up stamping sewing machines in prison.

Perhaps it was precisely this thought that made Yin Dailan even more panicked, with a fine layer of cold sweat breaking out on her back despite the near-winter weather.

"Don’t panic."

Huang Zhongshuo, who had rushed to Xiao Shan and was the first to slap his girlfriend, was not furious at this time but instead took the initiative to hold her hand.

It was ice cold.

And still trembling slightly.

Without needing to confirm anything else, he also belonged to the entertainment industry. He knew all too well the unknown insider stories of the circle.

"Zhong Suo, I won’t go to jail, will I..."

Yin Dailan looked at her boyfriend in terror, her complexion pale as paper, her pupils trembling uncontrollably.

"It’s not as serious as you think."

Huang Zhongshuo spoke with a reassuring heavy voice, showing responsibility and offering a sense of security, but Yin Dailan was overwhelmed and completely unable to calm down.

"Lai Jie just said the tax department has started investigating me, and if they find something..."

Yin Dailan was on the verge of crying again.

"Even if they find something, it doesn’t matter, we can just pay the money back."

Huang Zhongshuo tightened his grip on her hand.

Mending the fold after the sheep have been stolen.

Indeed, it was a solution.

There had been instances where taxes were paid retroactively upon discovery, and the concerning departments did not pursue the matter further.

However, that’s provided no one is deliberately making it difficult for you.

"It must be CX Entertainment behind this; they will never let me off..."

Tears slid down her cheeks to the corner of her mouth, and Yin Dailan finally tasted the flavor of regret and understood the cruelty and power of capital.

Huang Zhongshuo’s expression was tense, "There’s someone who might be able to help."

Yin Dailan, with tears clouding her vision, looked up.
