Chapter 913: Chapter 377: My Gu Family is Not Done with You_3

"Ah?"

Gu Tonglin was speechless and simultaneously shocked with terror.

Su Huai?!

Could it really be him?

Actually, Gu Tonglin wasn’t entirely without suspicion, but he had checked the daily reports sent by the paid commentators and found no evidence of Xingyu’s core fans participating.

He couldn’t help but argue with a stiff face: "All those famous bloggers and streamers related to Xingyu have remained silent on this matter. On what basis do you think it’s because I offended Xingyu that we’re facing retaliation?"

"Then what else?"

Producer Jiang retorted: "Apart from you messing things up and offending Mr. Su, who else would target our project?"

Indeed, there were no other enemies.

In the business world, evidence isn’t always the priority. Most of the time, business battles are simple, and if the other party has both motive and capability, that’s enough to make the diagnosis.

Gu Tonglin was still stubborn, but everyone insisted that it was Su Huai’s doing, and it was because he had broken the rules first.

No one wanted to bear this responsibility, so someone had to take the fall, right?

But Gu Tonglin resisted with all his might, refusing to admit it no matter what.

"Impossible! He’s my brother-in-law, we’re on good terms!"

He couldn’t admit it, because admitting it would mean another huge wave of compensation, and that wouldn’t just be a minor injury.

Mr. Jiang wouldn’t allow him to be evasive, so he took out his phone and announced to everyone: "I’ll call Mr. Su right away and ask him to show some mercy. Although, it might not help, as we’re in the wrong here."

Everyone agreed in unison: "Please do, it wouldn’t hurt to ask."

So Jiang Defu really dialed Su Huai’s number immediately, and started bluntly: "Hello, Mr. Su, sorry for interrupting, we’re in a meeting here, discussing the current mess with Xinli, Penguin Video, Director Yu, and Mr. Gu.

Brother, we’re truly at our wit’s end, could you possibly help us out?"

Su Huai’s voice, magnetic yet indifferent, came from the speaker into everyone’s ears: "What help?"

Jiang Defu wasn’t playing games and went straight to the point: "I’ve heard that those who were fooled are players from your company, but I can vouch on behalf of Penguin, Yida, Xinli, and the production team that we were not informed in advance, and this whole incident was entirely some individuals acting on their own, so could you, perhaps, show some mercy? Handle the accounts separately, and spare our project..."

"I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Su Huai let out a light chuckle, then his tone abruptly turned cold.

"But if this matter doesn’t end with a satisfactory result for me, your next film, and the one after that, and every future production better not have any issues."

President Chen couldn’t contain his anger and interrupted: "Mr. Su, never mind about holding the guilty accountable, but do you even know whom you’re threatening?"

The phone fell silent for a moment, then Su Huai’s tone suddenly rose sharply.

"With me, it’s all about shared responsibility, not just punishing the main culprit. You all share the profits, so naturally, you share the consequences!

Moreover, you can’t represent Tencent, Mr. Jiang can’t represent Yida, but I can fully represent Xingyu!

I’m not threatening anyone; I’m stating a fact — as long as you all want to continue in the entertainment circle, I am the one person you can’t afford to offend, bar none!"

"Clunk!"

The call was mercilessly hung up, leaving the room in silence.

Gu Tonglin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly overjoyed: Good lad! Who gave you the nerve to be so reckless? Now look, you’ve united everyone against a common enemy and saved me!

But just as he was getting happy for a couple of seconds, the others suddenly all turned to look at him.

"Mr. Gu, it’s very clear now, the mess was caused by you, and all the losses will be borne solely by you. If you still want to deny it, we’ll see you in court!"

Ah?!

Gu Tonglin was in a complete state of bewilderment, his eyes nearly falling out.

No, he was threatening you all! He wasn’t just targeting me, he just slapped all your faces!

Of course, Mr. Chang, Mr. Jiang, and President Chen knew, but there was no choice. Xingyu was not someone you dared to provoke.

In today’s entertainment industry, no company dared to mess with Xingyu and its bunch of influencers.

They don’t break rules, don’t spread rumors, but can cause devastating damage to any artist or drama.

Reba and Nazha haven’t received any high-quality projects or deals for over three months, and their current target, Qianqian, has not only fallen in trending topics and Weibo comments but even Ni has been reduced to a third of her past reach.

Producer Jiang looked at Gu Tonglin like he was a fool, mocking: "Mr. Gu, did you bother to investigate before planning to mess with Xingyu?

Did you think the ruckus Xingyu caused before only scared Tang Ren and Jiaxing?"

Gu Tonglin was bewildered: "Wasn’t it?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison, sighing nonstop.

Jiang Defu regretfully said: "We shouldn’t have agreed to let you join from the start, we thought you were in cahoots with Xingyu, who would’ve imagined bringing in a pig..."

"Forget it, let’s go live without editing."

The video President Chen got up and left, leaving behind a phrase full of meaning: "What’s left, the legal department can handle."

Gu Tonglin watched as ally after ally got up and left, realizing that the situation had finally spiraled into an irreparable worst-case scenario, suddenly let out a scream, grabbed a tablet, and smashed it down.

Su Huai!

The Gu Family and you are not finished!
