119: Justice!

Justice!

Xu Lei laid on the bed shocked and saddened. She could not believe that her best friend would do something like this to her.0

Chi Yue had met Xu Lei in the acting school. She befriended Xu Lei as she wanted to establish the connection to Starlight Entertainment and climb up the ladder.

Unfortunately, as they graduated from the acting school, the difference between their talents became clearer. Xu Lei had a natural talent of acting but Chi Yue could not act no matter how much she tried. Her face always looked stiff and her expressions could not be deciphered.

Subsequently, Xu Lei got an offer to act as a third female lead in a TV series, while Chi Yue could not make it. This led to a development of intense jealousy in Chi Yue's heart.

As Xu Lei got an offer, Xu Dong signed her as an artist of Starlight Entertainment. Chi Yue requested Xu Lei to get her signed as well, but Xu Dong was too honest and upright. He only valued talents and did not work on connections. Chi Yue's jealousy this time turned into indignation. She felt that Xu Lei did not value their friendship and Xu Dong was too arrogant.

Chi Yue swore that she would take revenge with the Xu siblings one day. Even though she hated them to the core, Chi Yue still maintained the superficial relationship with Xu Lei. Xu Lei being honest and clear minded like her brother, did not notice the changes in Chi Yue's behaviour.

The chance of revenge was provided to Chi Yue by Skylark Entertainment. With the help of her brother who was a rising artist of Skylark Entertainment, Chi Yue arranged everything for the revenge.

Poor Xu siblings did not know that they had been schemed against.

Now when Xu Lei looked at the surveillance video, her heart broke. She laid on the bed lifeless, like there was nothing to live for. Her life had been destroyed by her best friend and her brother was blamed by her. Her career, her life and her family everything was destroyed.

Parents Xu looked at their daughter and could not understand what could be done at this stage. All they could do was to wait for Xu Dong to be released.

At the same time, Chi Yang and Chi Yue were drenched in cold sweat. 'Weren't these videos deleted? How did this woman retrieve them? What would happen to them now?'

Both of them rushed to Director Shao's office.

"Director Shao! Director Shao! Please help!" The Chi siblings pleaded to Director Shao.

Director Shao had also seen the press conference of Starlight Entertainment. Now that Chi Yang and Chi Yue were exposed, it was considered best for him to wash his hands off them. Anyway both the siblings were of no use to him now.

"What do you want me to help you with? Now that your video has been exposed, how am I supposed to turn the situation around?" Director Shao asked impatiently.

"Director Shao, you can contact the Hongxing Gang! Didn't they help us delete the surveillance footage? They can do it again!" Chi Yue replied pleadingly.

"Yes, Director Shao! Please save us! We cannot go to jail! Hongxing Gang will definitely help!" Chi Yang urged.

"Did you know that Hongxing Gang had severed all the relations with Skylark Entertainment? Otherwise why would Starlight Entertainment fall in someone else's hands!" Director Shao exclaimed angrily.

Hearing that Hongxing Gang had severed all the relations with Skylark Entertainment, the Chi siblings felt the ground slipping under their feet. No words could describe the shock felt by them.

"Director Shao! The police are here!" the secretary rushed inside the office.

Director Shao looked at the Chi siblings and a mocking smirk appeared on his face seeing them sit on the ground shocked.

"Tell the guards to bring these two people out!" Director Shao ordered.

Chi Yang and Chi Yue came back to their senses. "Director Shao! Director Shao! Please don't do this to us! We did everything on your orders! Please spare us!"

Director Shao's face darkened. He strode towards Chi Yang and held his collar, "Don't even think about revealing my name anywhere. And if you think that you can threaten me, IN YOUR DREAMS!"

"Although Hongxing Gang has broken all the relations with Skylark Entertainment, I am still capable of making your lives a living hell!" With that he shirked off Chi Yang.

Within the cries of the Chi siblings, they were thrown out of Skylark Entertainment and handed over to the police.

In the Starlight Entertainment's auditorium.

Ji Lingchen, Fang Wen, Jiang Xun and Gong Tianhao had tears in their eyes. They knew that their Brother Xu could not do anything like this. Their Brother Xu was such an honest and upright person. How could he drive over his only sister?

Gong Tianhao could not control his mouth, "These bastards! They schemed against Brother Xu in such a ruthless manner. I wish to tear them apart!"

Fang Wen held Gong Tianhao and comforted him, "Don't worry! Brother Xu will definitely get justice."

Jiang Xun interrupted, "What about sister Lei? She is crippled now! Her career and life are destroyed!"

Ji Lingchen who was silent for the whole time finally spoke his mind, "Do you think Brother Xu will return to us? After all, Xu Lei's condition today was caused by Skylark Entertainment. In such cases, people tend to retire just to protect their family!"

Gong Tianhao, Fang Wen and Jiang Xun heard Ji Lingchen and found sense in his words. Considering Xu Dong's character, this was most likely to happen. The joy in their hearts which came from the revealation of Xu Dong's innocence dissipated. The happiness was again replaced by sadness and worry.

"IT'S XU DONG!" A reporter shouted while looking at the entrance of the auditorium.

As the four were discussing this among themselves, they heard the reporter's shout and gazed towards the entrance.

Xu Dong stood there in silence. His handsome face was covered in stubble and his whole body looked haggard. He could not even stand properly after suffering in the prison. Countless cameras flashed taking in all the real time news and every person who watched his state felt pity for this man.

Seeing the person on the entrance, Ji Lingchen and others strode towards him.

"BROTHER XU!" They finally broke down. All four of them were tightly holding onto the company in their hands despite many odds. They had fought bravely in every circumstance just to hold the sweat and blood of Xu Dong safe.

Gong Tianhao hugged Xu Dong tightly and cried hard in his arms as if venting all the emotions that were accumulated in his heart for so many days. Fang Wen and Ji Lingchen could not stop their tears from falling. Jiang Xun stood at a distance in silence.

Xu Dong looked at his artists cum friends and felt a relief seeing them safe. He knew that he was being selfish by surrendering himself and leaving the company to its fate. But he felt that other than his deed, there was nothing that could bring peace to his family.

Xu Dong felt extremely guilty towards his artists. Before going to jail, he knew what was going on in the company. He also knew about the methods of Skylark Entertainment but he could not retaliate using the same methods. His conscience did not allow him to do so.

Before he could figure out the solution to the problem of Skylark, Xu Lei's accident happened. After that, his mind was fully occupied by the matters of his family and he had disregarded the fact that his artists also needed him.

Xu Dong patted on Gong Tianhao's back, "Tianhao, don't cry anymore. Look I am back in a single piece."

Gong Tianhao released Xu Dong and looked at him pitifully. Ji Lingchen's words lingered in his mind. 'Will Brother Xu really retire?' he thought.

Xu Dong subsequently hugged Fang Wen and Ji Lingchen. All of them had tears in their eyes but their mouths could not utter a single word.

Xu Dong finally looked over at Jiang Xun. Helplessness, worry, and longingness, all the feelings were revealed in her eyes. She sobbed slowly as Xu Dong strode towards her, "Jiang Jiang, I am sorry," he said.

Both of them stood at a distance from each other as they knew that countless eyes were watching them. Xu Dong liked Jiang Xun and he knew that Jiang Xun also reciprocated his feelings.

Everything was going well, but before Xu Dong could express himself in front of Jiang Xun, things went out of hand. Now that his sister was a cripple, Xu Dong had decided to let go of his feelings and accompany his sister the whole life without thinking about anything else. He didn't want to drag Jiang Xun in his family's mess and thus he had decided to never express himself.

Jiang Xun was a very intelligent and understanding woman. She knew what Xu Dong's sorry meant. Knowing Xu Dong, she knew what his mind might be thinking.
