Chapter 937: 681 Restore order from chaos

From a series of scandals and negative press to tax evasion and assisting money laundering, the storm surrounding Yin Dailan didn’t die down with the person of interest’s "disappearance"; instead, it grew more intense and began to spread in all directions.

Scandalous gossip can be enjoyed leisurely with a bowl of sunflower seeds as if watching a spectacle.

But when it comes to tax evasion, many in the entertainment industry become restless.

There’s a saying, how does it go?

"When the rabbit perishes, the fox grieves."

"Without the lips, the teeth will be cold."

Even if not one of the People of Shenzhou, tax evasion and money laundering are unlawful in any country.

Jin Zhuxuan also realized the gravity of the situation, couldn’t focus on practicing calligraphy anymore, and couldn’t help but leave her room to find Xia Wanqing, who lived under the same roof.

"Sister Wanqing, did you see the news?"

She stood at the door.

"Are you talking about Yin Dailan’s news?"

Xia Wanqing was in the middle of applying a facial mask. Natural beauty is one thing, but it still needs to be cherished.

"I saw it."

"Sister Wanqing, will she, will she be caught?"

Jin Zhuxuan hesitated to ask.

"What do you think?"

Xia Wanqing seemed indifferent, laughing lightly, "Is tax evasion legal in your Goryeo?"

"She actually hasn’t really done anything to me..."

Jin Zhuxuan said evasively.

"Talking to me about this doesn’t seem to help."

Jin Zhuxuan of course understood and then tentatively said, "Sister Wanqing, could you, maybe, talk to Mr. Jiang for me?"

Xia Wanqing grinned.

She truly hadn’t expected that she would ever think to describe someone with "kindness."

"You really don’t hate her?"

Jin Zhuxuan hesitated, then shook her head finally, saying, "Not that much."

"Not that much?"

"Does it mean she wasn’t bad enough to you, or do you think the punishment she’s receiving is too harsh?"

Jin Zhuxuan watched her with wide eyes, remaining silent.

"Why take the blame upon yourself."

Jin Zhuxuan looked as if to say "Isn’t that obvious?"

"But have you ever thought that without you, would all of her illegal and even criminal acts cease to exist?"

Jin Zhuxuan was at a loss for words.

Thinking about it, it was indeed true.

Hesitating, she said, "...with this matter becoming so big, won’t Mr. Jiang be affected?"

Just as she said.

Now, public opinion focuses not only on Yin Dailan as an individual, but her tax evasion had suddenly become a catalyst, igniting public resentment towards the entire profession of celebrities.

It’s not the lack but the unfair distribution that troubles people.

It’s one thing for stars to make a fortune each day, to earn in one movie what ordinary people couldn’t in their entire lives, yet they still look for ways to dodge their social responsibilities.

How could the hardworking general public accept this?

The situation had escalated.

The public called for a thorough investigation into show business.

Big winds were rising.

In the dazzling world of fame, the waves surged wildly, and everyone felt insecure.

"So you’re saying you’re not worried about Yin Dailan, but about Mr. Jiang?"

Xia Wanqing asked.

"I..."

Jin Zhuxuan stammered, her face flushing red, unsure of how to respond.

"Then you should go talk to Mr. Jiang directly."

Xia Wanqing said while wearing her mask, but her eyes that were still visible carried a heavy dose of sarcasm.

"Yahxi."

Jin Zhuxuan couldn’t stand it any longer, even blurting out an expletive in her mother tongue, then immediately turned around and ran back to her room.

Xia Wanqing couldn’t help but chuckle.

Now she could somewhat understand why he went through the trouble of bringing her from Goryeo.

There are plenty of beautiful women in show business, but so few are as endearing.

If she were a man, she would definitely like her.

As the instigator, or rather the orchestrator of this blazing inferno, Jiang Chen was indeed under no small amount of pressure.

The bigger the fire burned, the more it seemed to spiral out of control, transforming from a personal condemnation of Yin Dailan to a class conflict over the unequal distribution of wealth in society.

And indeed, it was disappointing how these stars, following Yin Dailan, had a growing number accused of tax evasion, and the tide began to spread to the directorial realm.

Thus, Shi Qianxi received the news as a matter of course.

"What are you doing? Is it just a small matter of an actor? Why is there such a fuss that people are calling me?"

She must have been a bit baffled before realizing that she was taking the fall for someone else.

After all, she was the legal person of CX Entertainment.

Associated with CX Entertainment, outsiders would naturally think of her first.

Jiang Chen showed no remorse and even asked meaningfully, "What did they say to you?"

"What else, they begged me to show mercy, of course."

Shi Qianxi emphasized the words "show mercy," then said, "It’s a simple issue. Wouldn’t it be better to just ban that Yin Dailan outright instead of making it so complicated? Doing it your way will upset a lot of people."

"You’re afraid of offending people?"

Jiang Chen retorted.

Shi Qianxi faltered, then couldn’t help but laugh.

"Heh, whether I am afraid of offending people or not, what does it have to do with this situation? You did this, and now you are making me take the heat, aren’t you low?"

Jiang Chen seemed not to hear and continued on his own, "This industry is getting more and more deformed. Deformation aside, those people take what common folk can’t reach in their lifetimes yet still dodge taxes. The tax Jin Hai pays each year isn’t insignificant, right? Don’t you think it’s unfair?"

Shi Qianxi found herself speechless, at a loss for a rebuttal.

She realized that this guy seemed to be getting more and more articulate.
