Due to the high popularity of the show, paparazzi naturally kept a close watch on Sun Man, so the news of Lang Zhe being taken away by the police immediately exploded online.
However, no leaks were made, so no one knew exactly what had happened and could only speculate that it was related to some emotional entanglements.
At first, Peng Li saw the news of Sun Man’s revealing photos. She planned to contact her godson to once again emphasize that Sun Man was a problematic person and should not be kept. But before she could make the call, she was hit by the trending topic.
Her godson had been arrested by the police!
Peng Li immediately contacted Lu Fei, "What exactly happened to Lang Zhe? Did that little slut Sun Man report him? What is she trying to do? How could she harm Lang Zhe like this?"
Lu Fei’s tone was even colder, "Let me ask you, do you know about Lang Zhe’s gambling problem?"
Peng Li was stunned and replied, "What?"
Lu Fei: "Since you don’t know, then forget it. I’ll say it again, he is my son, please don’t interfere with how I raise him."
With that, Lu Fei hung up the phone. Peng Li was furious. Although Lang Zhe was born to Lu Fei, she had raised him for many years and treated him as her own son. How could Lu Fei stop their mother-son bond?
The biological mother allowed her son to be bullied by outsiders, but she, as his godmother, would never stand by and do nothing.
Without another word, she rushed to the police station with a lawyer from the Peng family’s corporation, determined to bail Lang Zhe out.
Afterward, Ji Fei and Qin Zhao did not get involved anymore. Upon returning home, they gossiped about the exciting events of the day with the Qin family. Although they already knew the situation, they couldn’t help but joke about it when they heard it again.
Qin Ma couldn’t help but say, "Men who love to gamble really can’t be trusted."
Qin Pa nodded, "It’s always those who are dissatisfied with their lives elsewhere, thinking they can shine in the casino, but end up in ruin."
Qin Yan sighed with relief, "Thankfully, you acted quickly this time and prevented a tragedy."
Ji Fei smiled, "Thanks to Qin Zhao, he really handled this beautifully."
Qin Xian’s gaze swept over. Qin Zhao looked innocent, thinking to himself that it wasn’t his fault. It was Ji Fei’s arrangement.
Everyone else tried to hold back their laughter.
Qin Rong couldn’t help but ask, "So, can she get all her money back? She worked so hard for it."
Ji Fei was also concerned about this issue, "The ten million, Lu Fei arranged for someone to deal with it right on the spot, but as for the money that was stolen by her mother and uncle, it’s harder to say."
Everyone sighed.
At this point, discussions on the internet had already become uncontrollable. Official accounts were on the brink of crashing.
People were really concerned if tomorrow’s episode would still air.
After all, Sun Man was still in the hospital, and the situation was unclear.
The other main star’s son had also been arrested. According to normal speculation, it was likely that Sun Man had called the police, so what would be the state of Sun Man’s relationship with Lu Fei now?
Thus, people started to assume that tomorrow’s episode was surely canceled.
But soon, Sun Man posted a message, saying that due to personal reasons, she had momentarily lost control and felt very sorry. Now, the situation was stable, and everything was fine, so the show would go on as planned.
The official account immediately retweeted it, stating that everything would proceed as normal.
Everyone was shocked. Could they really continue filming? Would Lu Fei be willing to perform?
Unexpectedly, Lu Fei quickly retweeted the post and expressed their determination to keep working together.
The netizens were utterly confused. Were the two actors so professional? Or was it because they had no choice due to their contracts? Or was everything just a rumor, and there was another hidden truth?
Netizens were frantically asking about the reason behind Sun Man’s suicide attempt and the real story behind Lang Zhe’s arrest. However, after a few key people gave their statements, they all fell silent, as if they had no intention of addressing the matter anymore, leaving the netizens incredibly curious. It was like a wild animal sniffing around, with the prize just out of reach, yet its fate was out of its control.
In the end, they flocked to Ji Fei’s Weibo asking for the truth.
"Sis Fei, you must know the truth, right?"
"You’re the Entertainment Judge, did you intervene, which led to someone getting arrested?"
"Fei, you’re always at the forefront of the gossip, you won’t let us down, right? What’s the real story, share it with us!"
"If you don’t tell me, I won’t be able to sleep tonight. Don’t make me beg you."
"Fei, Fei, tell me in secret, I promise not to tell anyone!"
"According to the Entertainment Judge’s usual style, she’ll definitely pull off something big during the premiere. Everyone just wait and see!"
"Exactly! I upvoted the person above."
As a result, "The Final Judgment of the Entertainment Judge" was trending.
Ji Fei was left utterly confused.
【Who exactly created these strange expectations?】
She quickly contacted Pei Mingxuan and asked to remove the trending topic.
Pei Mingxuan, however, said, "Well, there's no harm in having some positive publicity."
The Qin family members wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to. However, this time the netizens were going to be disappointed. The scandal had already ended, the person had been arrested, and although it might be exposed later, it had nothing to do with their performance on stage.
Instead, those in the entertainment industry who were nervous started trembling. Tonight, it would be even harder for them to sleep than the netizens. They were afraid that Ji Fei might suddenly expose something big, like using her powerful judgment to take down a bunch of people.
Cleaning up the entertainment industry was no joke. Recently, with Ji Fei's active presence, the atmosphere in the industry had really improved. Those who normally had poor character were now walking carefully, afraid of being dragged into it and ruining their careers.
Just like Ji Fei holding the judgment list, no one knew which problematic group she would target next. The question was: were they afraid?
Many people, using their connections, managed to get in touch with the Qin family members, causing them to both laugh and cry.
When they arrived at the recording site, people online were still betting on whether the show would go on. In the meantime, the director and producers came over discreetly to ask.
"We don’t actually mind anymore, but we need a heads-up so we can handle the public opinion," said the producer sincerely.
Pei Mingxuan laughed helplessly, "This really has nothing to do with us. We just went to visit the patient. Also, didn’t we give you the script? We promised to follow it exactly."
At that moment, Lu Fei, who was nearby getting her makeup done, suddenly received a call. Her face immediately changed, and she patted Sun Man on the shoulder before leading her team out.
The director and producers were on edge, but they couldn’t follow immediately, so they could only wait.
Meanwhile, Qin Rong, who was distracting herself by helping Qin Zhao and Ji Fei with makeup, suddenly couldn’t hold back her surprise.
Ji Fei asked curiously, "What’s wrong?"
Qin Rong quickly leaned in to gossip, "Lu Dage said Lang Zhe has been bailed out."
Ji Fei’s expression immediately changed, and she quickly checked the system.
【Damn, this is so shameless! Lang Zhe actually said it was to win Sun Man back, so he didn’t really try to extort her.】
