"So what should I do next?" Pan Yuming asked.

"Find a lawyer, start a lawsuit, and sue Dong Bai and her studio," Chen Yiyang said. "Whether it's domestic violence or gambling, you can't provide evidence to prove your innocence. But the other side can't provide evidence either to prove you did these things. As long as we initiate the lawsuit, the probability of winning is very high.

Start filming the TV series first, and I estimate the legal process will take about a year. By the time it's over, your filmed TV series should be ready to air, and then we can stir up some traffic."

"I have no objections."

The tactics Chen Yiyang mentioned are commonplace in the entertainment industry.

So Pan Yuming did not hesitate long before agreeing.

After all, if he doesn't do this, he won't be able to turn his life around.

"Boss, when do we sign the contract?" Pan Yuming proactively asked when he could join Chen Yiyang's entertainment company.

"I'll have someone contact you in the next few days to start the process. Oh, and call over director Wang Wei and screenwriter Gu Bai tonight. Let's all have dinner together and also discuss the White Night Chasing Killer project."

Compared to Pan Yuming, Chen Yiyang placed more importance on the White Night Chasing Killer project.

However, for those in the entertainment industry, at this time, they didn't know about the White Night Chasing Killer project.

Instead, in recent days, they've been hearing that the famous paparazzi team Zhuo Zai suddenly exposed Dong Bai's scandals.

Dong Bai, who always presented a pure image, not only cheated during marriage but her affair was with a married man.

This truly shocked people outside the circle.

In no time, related discussions quickly topped the first spot on the trending list online.

Then, right after, Pan Yuming announced that he would be suing Dong Bai and the studio she belonged to.

Everyone was confused, unable to understand why Pan Yuming, who had been silently enduring for nearly two years, suddenly decided to fight back against Dong Bai.

And why did the Zhuo Zai team, which had taken Dong Bai's money, risk ruining their reputation by again releasing her scandalous photos and videos?

Until staff from Pan Yuming's studio quietly revealed that Pan Yuming's studio was joining Chen Yiyang's Shabby Residence Entertainment Company.

Only then did people realize, it was Chen Yiyang who made the move.

"Chen, your methods are too ruthless. Dong Bai had people questioning Zhuo Zai's team why they didn't honor their agreement after taking money. Zhuo Zai's team responded saying they didn't want to end up in jail."

Rao Zhi called Chen Yiyang for a chat. Although Rao Zhi's tone carried a bit of teasing, everything she said was factual.

No matter what excuses Zhuo Zai makes, like claiming at the time the scandals were photographed by another paparazzo, he took the money only agreeing to destroy the photos and videos evidence from one paparazzo.

All of this would eventually damage his reputation.

In the future, if he wants to use scandals to extort money from celebrities, those celebrities might fear Zhuo Zai won't honor his word after receiving money, and thus will be unwilling to pay.

Therefore, to ensure his reputation doesn't take too much of a hit, Zhuo Zai's team strongly exaggerated Chen Yiyang's background, claiming they were threatened, saying if they didn't hand over the photos and videos, they'd end up in jail.

This left them no choice but to release the previously recorded scandal videos of Dong Bai.

As a result of Zhuo Zai's actions, Chen Yiyang became even more famous in the film industry.

He had transformed from a second-generation rich in the film industry to a member of some top family.

The kind of rich second generation like the Beijing Four Young Masters, according to insiders in the film industry, were no longer even fit to carry Chen Yiyang's shoes.

As for these rumors, Chen Yiyang was indifferent.

As long as he doesn't get immersed in these fake reputations but rather focuses on building substantial assets and connections.

These rumors mean nothing to him.

However, after staying in Shudu for a few days, Chen Yiyang quickly went to Lin'an.

"You're too busy now; you said you'd stay in Lin'an more, but you haven't been back for many days."

Yang Chengru personally poured a cup of tea for Chen Yiyang.

Seeing this gesture, Chen Yiyang knew Yang Chengru must have something to discuss, so he didn't refuse, accepting the cup and saying.

"We know each other well enough, just say what's on your mind."

"It's someone from Ali Group who asked me to inquire if you have a certain Declaration of Independence and are willing to sell it."

"Ali Group?"

"Yes." Yang Chengru nodded.

Given his relationship with Chen Yiyang, if it were a trivial matter, he wouldn't bother personally serving tea to Chen Yiyang.

But it's different when it involves Ali Group.

Ali Group, holding the Treasure Hunt Shopping and Pay Treasure Payment platforms, is the largest taxpayer in Lin'an and directly contributes to Lin'an's soaring real estate prices.

Because Ali Group's headquarters is in Lin'an, many wealthy programmers have bought homes, driving up property prices.

Now, someone from Ali Group directly contacted Yang Chengru, saying they wanted to buy something from Chen Yiyang.

Yang Chengru couldn't easily refuse.

"I indeed have a Declaration of Independence; it's an original copy from the United States' founding in 1776." Chen Yiyang briefly explained what Ali Group wanted to buy.

"You managed to obtain this?" Yang Chengru hearing this from Chen Yiyang, widened his eyes in disbelief.

Chen Yiyang's words were almost equivalent to a foreigner coming to Huaxia, not only buying a national treasure but successfully bringing it back to their country.

How many bribes must the Americans have accepted to allow Chen Yiyang not only to purchase this item but also take it back to Huaxia?

Of course, a major reason Chen Yiyang could successfully bring back the original copy of the 1776 Declaration of Independence was.

The United States had far too many similar counterfeit tourist souvenirs.

Plus, Chen Yiyang acted quickly.

So customs never believed the genuine original copy of the Declaration of Independence was in Chen Yiyang's possession.

"Why does Ali want to buy this thing?" Chen Yiyang felt extremely curious.

"Ali has many American capitals supporting them in global business expansion, so it's very normal."

Yang Chengru pointed out the reason.

Now is the era of global large capital; for top companies wanting to expand overseas, introducing foreign capital is very normal.

Moreover, Ali Group initially developed by taking money from foreign capital.

Now, they suddenly want to buy the Declaration of Independence copy from Chen Yiyang, clearly not of their own volition but commissioned by someone.

However, they might feel that directly dealing with Chen Yiyang could lead to a high asking price.

So they used government channels to have Yang Chengru negotiate with Chen Yiyang.

"Simply selling this thing for money is not worthwhile," Chen Yiyang said frankly, "So just tell them, they can buy it, but it's not about money."

"Alright." Yang Chengru believed Chen Yiyang's words made sense.

For such significant artifacts, trading them solely for money would be a huge loss.

No one lacks a few millions.

Selling it just for money isn't as advantageous as keeping it as a personal collection.
