Chapter 501: Chapter 501 Guo Quanyou Gets Arrested

Why do they say Guo Quanyou is risking his good reputation so late in life? The reason is simple: the media company released the chat screenshots, and now the attention is skyrocketing.

Just looking at the number of comments, in a matter of minutes, they have already surpassed ten thousand, which shows how popular the new trailer for Dominating the World is.

With such attention, even with Lu Jiawei’s insignificant experience in the entertainment industry, she could easily judge that the movie Dominating the World can’t help but be a hit.

It has everything going for it—timing, location, and people. Lu Jiawei really can’t think of any reason why it wouldn’t succeed.

But this alone will definitely not be enough to take down Guo Quanyou.

In Lu Jiawei’s opinion, the last straw that will break Guo Quanyou’s back will surely be JM Entertainment.

Guo Quanyou’s actions can be considered deliberate slander and unfair competition... If seriously pursued, they could definitely be treated as criminal offenses.

Is JM Entertainment short of a good law firm?

Suddenly, Lu Jiawei thought of something, her expression changed as she worried that Guo Quanyou would use her as a scapegoat to save himself.

After all, he had been using his own mobile phone all along!

If JM Entertainment decides to pursue the matter, and Guo Quanyou pushes all the responsibility onto her...

Lu Jiawei can’t imagine what kind of end she would meet.

Not daring to waste another moment, she quickly took out her mobile phone, found the contact information of an acquaintance at JM Entertainment, got Liu Meng’s phone number, and called her.

As soon as the call was connected, Lu Jiawei preempted with, "President Liu! I can testify that all those black hot searches on the forum were bought by Guo Quanyou! Please give me a way out."

...

Soon, through Liu Meng’s mouth, this matter also reached Chen Wei’s ears.

Liu Meng asked Chen Wei over the phone, "What do you plan to do next?"

"Simple, sue him! It would be best to send him to prison, and if JM Entertainment’s lawyers aren’t up to it, I can do it myself," Chen Wei was confident that, with his own skills, getting a life sentence for Guo Quanyou wouldn’t be difficult.

"Hahaha, no need to trouble yourself, I’ll immediately contact people to prepare, hurry to collect evidence, and keep an eye on the hot searches; I believe it won’t be long before Guo Quanyou’s exclusion from the entertainment industry makes front-page news."

"Good." Chen Wei naturally had no doubts about Liu Meng’s capabilities.

All the work was now complete; it was time to go home.

...

Meanwhile, Guo Quanyou was at a bar drowning his sorrows in alcohol, hoping to drown his worries, but who would have thought that this alcohol was like pouring oil on a fire, the more he drank, the more sorrowful he became.

Guo was not willing to accept this. As a director of several decades, he had been completely overwhelmed by an individual whose name was still unknown.

As one of the top three directors, Guo could see more clearly than anyone the gap between the two trailers.

But, being stubborn, unwilling to admit defeat, he just refused to acknowledge it.

With a bit more alcohol, when his brain became groggy, he gradually began to accept reality.

Finally, he realized why Chen Wei and Liu Meng dared to kick him out of the game; it turns out they had such a trump card in their hands.

"Who is that person behind the screen?" Guo racked his brains but couldn’t think of anyone in the circle who fit the profile.

It surely couldn’t be a newcomer, could it?

"Heh," Guo laughed at himself, "With that level of skill, how could it possibly be a newcomer? If it really was, what would my decades of work amount to?"

He shook his head, dismissing the most accurate answer outright.

If such a person existed, his pride as a renowned director would be utterly shattered, broken to pieces.

Urgent footsteps approached from behind.

Before Guo Quanyou could turn around, someone had already reached his side, "Guo, something’s happened!"

"What’s happened? Why are you panicking?" Guo Quanyou calmly sipped his drink.

"Judgment Court, public security officers are here to arrest you," the man replied.

"Arrest me? On what grounds? I am a law-abiding good citizen!" Guo Quanyou blurted out without thinking, which would have surely led Chen Wei to rebuke him, asking what happened to his face?

"Did you hire some media company to smear JM Entertainment’s new movie trailer, that ’Dominating the World’?"

"Nonsense, how could I do such a thing? Don’t listen to those gossip rumors," Guo Quanyou waved his hand, forcing a smile, pretending to be calm.

But inside he was anything but calm, puzzled, how did he come to know about it?

"Enough, stop pretending. The news about you hiring a media company to smear JM Entertainment broke this morning; that media company, they posted all the chat records between you and them online."

"What!" Guo Quanyou immediately reached for his phone, wanting to see for himself.

But after fumbling for a while, he remembered that he had already smashed his phone to pieces.

His gaze fell on his friend, "Quick! Lend me your phone."

"Okay." Without much thought, the friend took out his phone and told Guo Quanyou the password.

Guo Quanyou immediately logged onto the forum, found the trending topics, and sure enough, the second item was about him manipulating the search rankings through smears.

He clicked in and exploded with rage, "Damn it! Those treacherous dogs, not only did they not return my money, they even posted these things online. Do they want me dead?"

"Looks like they really do want you dead," the friend responded honestly.

"No worries, I used that woman Lu Jiawei’s phone. When the time comes, I’ll just push all the blame on her," Guo Quanyou said with feigned calmness.

He thought to himself how well-prepared he had been, smashing the phone was a good move! He had laid the groundwork!

However, before he could take pride in his foresight for more than a few seconds, he heard his friend say, "Lu Jiawei anticipated you would say that and has already turned herself in, confessing to the public security, hoping for leniency."

Guo Quanyou was speechless.

It took a long while before he reacted, turned his head, raised his gaze to his friend, and asked for confirmation, "Today’s April Fool’s Day, right? You’re just joking with me, aren’t you?"

"Guo, we’ve known each other for ages, do you really think I’m the kind of person who jokes?" the friend retorted.

Guo Quanyou was at a loss for words and closed his mouth.

He opened his contacts, frantically searching, muttering to himself, "Why isn’t it here? How could it not be here? Where exactly is it?"

"Guo, that’s my phone..." the friend reminded him.

This only made it all the more evident how deeply the incident had shocked Guo Quanyou.

Guo Quanyou’s fingers came to a halt, no longer scrolling through the contact list.

He held his head in his hands, desperately trying to remember Liu Meng’s contact information, wanting to plead with her for mercy, to plead with her to spare him, admitting he was at fault before...

Guo Quanyou really knew he was wrong!

Yet, everything was ultimately too late, as a commanding voice once again sounded in his ears, "Hello, are you Guo Quanyou? This is an arrest warrant; please come with us."
