Chapter 425: Family, Spokesperson (1)
Translator: _Min_
The four names, any one of it alone could shake the Great Xia Empire, were all present on the arrest warrant’s signature line.
Even Old Madame Qi, in her folly, would not doubt the authenticity of this arrest warrant.
No one would dare to impersonate the MO Family, the Feng Family, or the Thousand Army Alliance, unless they wished to sever their ties with Great Xia entirely.
Upon seeing the arrest warrant stamped with three red seals, Old Madame Qi’s mind buzzed.
“Old Madame Qi, to have an arrest warrant signed jointly by three families and four alliances, your granddaughter truly is unprecedented,” Ling Feng’s voice was cool and detached. “Of course, if you wish to challenge all three families and four alliances, you’re welcome to try.”
“But I advise you not to be too unseemly. You’re really not up to par.”
Ling Feng felt this arrest warrant already gave Qi Shuning considerable face. Old Madame Qi’s face flushed with a mix of shame and more so, fear and reverence.
The older generation knew of the three families and four alliances’ might far better than the younger.
A thousand and five hundred years after Emperor Yin’s demise, the three aristocratic families and four major alliances have been the absolute protectors of Great Xia.
How had a minor celebrity become entangled with the three families and four alliances, to the extent ofhaving them jointly issue an arrest warrant?
Who exactly was this minor celebrity?
Old Madame Qi dared not ponder further.
She lost her previous arrogance and stumbled out, looking disheveled.
Just as she left the room, Old Madame Qi received a call.
“Hello, Mom, something’s happened!” Qi Shuning’s father’s voice was panicked on the phone. “Someone from above suddenly started investigating my company, uncovering falsified accounts and tax evasion!” “Mom, what do we do? I didn’t catch any wind of this at all, we…”
Old Madame Qi couldn’t hear the rest.
Many companies engage in tax evasion, but usually, if well-concealed, it’s not a significant issue.
And being from a prominent Sijiu family, Old Madame Qi would usually be forewarned, allowing for timely rectification.
Why then did the investigation target them suddenly?
Moreover, the matter of Old Madame Qi arranging a backdoor deal for Qi Shuning, including bribing an examiner, was also exposed.
The examiner was immediately fired by Great Xia TV, and a string of related individuals were held accountable.
Li Manyu, who was pushed out by Qi Shuning, was promptly promoted by Great Xia TV.
A series of scandals bewildered netizens.
[The entertainment industry is indeed interconnected; one scandal pulls in many. I’m happily feasting on this drama, and wouldn’t mind more.]
[ …I now believe Si Fuqing is the disciplinary officer of the entertainment industry.]
[Spot on with every clean-up, a true demining expert, impressive.]
[Just a few months and so much dirt has been dug up; what about years? Could half the entertainment industry collapse? Honestly, can some celebrities just focus on acting or singing, stop the underhanded tactics, and be content with their earnings?]
[Really? A disciplinary officer? Si Fuqing herself is a cancer, can she stop leeching off seniors for fame and traffic? Can’t you see the gap between you and Xu Jianian? He’s only being a gentleman in helping you, don’t you know how to refuse?]
[I’ve seen several marketing accounts on Weibo asking if Xu Jianian and Si Fuqing are a good match, truly disgusting. It’s the same tactic used by the last actress who leached off Xu Jianian, soon they’ll start a CP hype for clout.]
[Do Xu Jianian’ fans have some kind of persecution complex? I’ve been watching the live broadcast for so long, and never saw Si Fuqing take the initiative. It’s Xu Jianian who keeps approaching her.
But he’s still set to record a show with Si Fuqing for a month, so you better hope he doesn’t get exposed for any scandals, ah. We haven’t seen a top streamer’s downfall yet, and I’m quite looking forward to seeing Xu Jianian’s.]
Netizens, usually indifferent to fan wars, found Si Fuqing’s unique situation intriguing and started following her closely.
And so, Si Fuqing’s fanbase grew once again.
Mousses watched as she strayed further from the idol and disciplinary officer persona, beyond retrieval.
Not to mention, as a divine beauty in the industry, could we see more selfies?
Apparently not.
Without their intervention, Si Fuqing took matters into her own hands.
Another day oflying flat, and all was well.
In the evening.
