Chapter 3860: Chapter 3848: If You Don’t Apologize, I’ll Kill You

Lin Yi adjusted his sitting posture, crossing one leg over the other.

"This is your job, I get how you feel, but our show doesn’t have any tax issues at all. You can investigate as you like."

The staff member sitting opposite him smiled.

"But you need to understand, admitting it yourself and getting caught by me are two completely different things. This is very serious. You’re just a small employee, don’t let someone use you as a gun without even knowing it."

"I understand what you mean, but there really is nothing wrong with our show." Lin Yi smiled and said:

"But I am curious—who reported us? Was it Wang Minji?"

The two of them exchanged a look, not quite sure who Lin Yi was talking about.

"We received an anonymous report call. We don’t know who it was, and even if we did, we couldn’t tell you."

"I understand your rules."

Lin Yi shrugged and said, "Anything else you want to ask? Do you need me to go back with you for further investigation? I’ll fully cooperate."

The two pondered for a moment. "No need to come with us, but we’ll repeat what we just said—you’d better think this through. If something goes wrong, you’ll be the one taking the fall. This is not a joke."

"Okay, got it."

The two stood up and walked out with serious expressions.

Seeing them come out, Zhao Jing walked up, exchanged a few more polite words, and then escorted them off, watching until they got in the car and left.

"They didn’t give you a hard time, did they?"

"How could they? They’re public servants after all, how could they make things hard for me?" Lin Yi said:

"I think right now, we need to figure out who reported us."

"Aside from Wang Minji, it can’t be anyone else," Chu Hao said.

"That’s what I thought at first too, but then I came up with another possibility," Lin Yi said:

"The entertainment industry is no wholesome place. It’s very likely someone from the capital side wants to take down Mao Yi and Zhou Shen, so they snitched on them in the dark, trying to screw them over."

Zhao Jing frowned, her expression more serious than ever.

At first she hadn’t overthought it, just assumed it was Wang Minji pulling strings behind the scenes.

But after hearing Lin Yi’s take, she had to admit it was possible. The entertainment circle was indeed more complicated and darker.

"I’ll call their agents later and see what’s going on."

"Director, with something like this happening, can our show still go on as normal?"

"We’re walking straight and sitting upright, we’ve got nothing to fear."

The three of them discussed a few more things together, then went off to their own tasks.

Just like Zhao Jing said, since they had nothing to hide, they weren’t afraid of anyone checking, so their work state wasn’t affected.

With nothing pressing to do, Lin Yi went back to the office to slack off.

"Lin Bro, I found two good clips; take a look and see if they work." Zhao Yuhuan said.

"Forget the clips for now. There’s a transfer opportunity—are you in or not?"

"Huh? A transfer?"

"Yeah, to the News Center. You’d still be doing your old job, just no more going out and showing your face."

Zhao Yuhuan looked at Lin Yi in surprise. "Lin Bro, are you getting transferred?"

Lin Yi nodded. "So I came to ask you. If you want to go, I can take you with me. If you don’t, you can stay here."

"If you’re going, I’m going with you."

"Don’t look at me. You need to think this through yourself before you decide."

"I already did. It’s post-production wherever I am anyway. If you leave, staying here won’t be any fun."

"The day after tomorrow the News Center is holding a recruitment. Zhao Jing will give us a written test then; it’ll just be a formality."

"Mm-hmm. But what about our account?"

Zhao Jing said we should take it with us; might come in handy later.

"Got it."

After chatting with Zhao Yuhuan for a bit, the two of them went to lunch.

In the afternoon, things were relatively relaxed for Lin Yi. After slacking off for a while, he took Zhao Yuhuan to the studio.

"Eh, Lin Bro, listen—sounds like there’s someone inside. Are they rehearsing?"

When they got to Studio One, Zhao Yuhuan pointed inside.

"Probably. With singing like that, if it’s not Xu Qingqing, it couldn’t be anyone else."

Zhao Yuhuan covered her mouth and laughed. "Lin Bro, you’re so mean. Sure, she’s not on the same level as those top singers, but in terms of skill, Xu Qingqing is actually not bad."

"But that’s all she is—just ’not bad.’"

"I actually used to like her a lot. Now after listening to you, I’m not that crazy about her anymore." Zhao Yuhuan chuckled. "But this is a rare chance. I’m gonna go take a look—counts as getting up close, right?"

Quietly, stealthily, Zhao Yuhuan slipped to the door of Studio One and cracked it open a sliver.

The singing grew louder, and Lin Yi frowned hard as he listened.

With this shitty level, how does she even have the nerve to call herself a singer?

He himself could sing better.

Listening carefully, Zhao Yuhuan even took out her phone and recorded a few clips.

"Lin Bro, you know, Xu Qingqing’s figure is insane—her thighs are super straight and super white. Want to come take a look?"

"I’ll pass." Lin Yi said:

"If she didn’t at least have that going for her, she really wouldn’t deserve to be a star."

"Lin Bro, you’re so handsome, I bet there are tons of girls lining up to ask you out. You must be totally immune to women by now."

Lin Yi burst out laughing. "The way you’re putting it, I sound like some scumbag."

"Haha, you should play when it’s time to play—gotta enjoy life’s pleasures."

"What are you doing!"

Just then, a barked shout came from not far away.

Following the voice, Lin Yi saw Li Wei walking over.

Zhao Yuhuan panicked and hurriedly put her phone away.

"Sorry, I was just casually taking a look."

"Who said you could casually look? We’re doing a secret rehearsal. Did anyone give you permission!" Li Wei shouted, his voice growing louder and more worked up.

He’d been eating losses at Lin Yi’s hands all this time. Now that he had a chance, he wanted to settle all the scores, though he only dared vent on Zhao Yuhuan.

"People like you with no manners and no upbringing—how did you even get into the TV station? They ought to fire all of you!"

"I—I’m sorry..."

Zhao Yuhuan’s face flushed, at a loss for words.

"You tell your—"

"Tell who the fuck what?"

Lin Yi rudely cut Li Wei off. "You guys are just rehearsing, it’s not like you’re in there selling pussy. What’s there to be so scared of people seeing?"

"You—!"

Faced with Lin Yi’s overwhelming aura, Li Wei’s bravado instantly crumbled.

"Apologize to my colleague."

"Don’t go too far." Li Wei was shaking with anger.

"Yeah, I’m going too far. What can you do about it?"

Step by step, Lin Yi walked over, grabbed Li Wei’s wrist, and twisted it behind his back.

Ah!

Li Wei’s body contorted from the pain and he dropped to the floor.

"If you don’t apologize, I’ll fucking ruin you."

"I was wrong, I’m sorry, I’m sorry to both of you. Let go, it hurts like hell."

"Get lost!"
