Chapter 85: Xu Ce’s Downfall
The man’s screams were particularly piercing in the silent night.
Jiang Su rubbed his ears, which were slightly affected by the screams, and looked at Tang Juanzi, who was dazed in the car. “Are you planning to spend the New Year in there?”
Tang Juanzi finally reacted and scrambled out of the car.
The man got up from the ground and yelled at Tang Juanzi, “Bitch!”
As soon as Tang Juanzi got out, she hid behind Jiang Su.
“Don’t let me catch you! Otherwise, I won’t let you off!” Seeing the situation was unfavorable, the man grumbled and drove away.
Jiang Su turned to Tang Juanzi.
She looked terrified.
“Tha-thank you, Jiang Su,” Tang Juanzi stammered. “I didn’t expect you to save me…”
Jiang Su looked down at Tang Juanzi. “Don’t think everyone in the world is trash just because you live in a garbage heap.”
Tang Juanzi’s lips moved, speechless.
She knew her reputation was bad and she had offended Jiang Su, so she didn’t expect him to save her.
She had asked Jiang Su for help as a last resort.
“Da Xu, let’s go.”
Jiang Su took a step but paused, glancing at the disheveled Tang Juanzi.
It was still early spring. Tang Juanzi was wearing a thin shirt. Several buttons had come undone during the struggle, and she was barely holding it together to avoid exposing herself.
He took off his jacket and threw it to Tang Juanzi. “Go home early.”
Most pitiful people have hateful aspects.
There’s no benefit to being nosy.
It’s just a matter of conscience.
Living itself is troublesome.
Tang Juanzi took the jacket, watching Jiang Su’s car leave before looking down at the jacket in her hands.
The jacket had a very refreshing scent.
She had smelled many men’s perfumes.
Men usually wear only a few types.
But the scent on Jiang Su’s jacket was unique and clean.
Just like him.
After a long time, Tang Juanzi carefully unfolded and put on the jacket.
…
When Jiang Su called Shen Xiumei, it was already midnight.
Unlike Huo Qingyan, Shen Xiumei was busier in his personal life than at work.
Midnight was just the beginning of his nightlife.
“Jiang Su?”
Shen Xiumei was surprised to receive Jiang Su’s call. He looked at the caller ID again to confirm it was Jiang Su before continuing, “Calling so late, what’s up?”
“It’s almost Saturday. CEO Shen, find a new guest to replace Xu Ce in these few days.” Jiang Su’s tone was as calm as the day he scammed Shen Xiumei out of 100 million.
“Ah?” Shen Xiumei panicked, a bad feeling arising. “What’s wrong with Xu Ce? What are you going to do?”
“Goodbye, CEO Shen.” Jiang Su didn’t feel the need to explain to Shen Xiumei.
“You…” The line went dead.
Shen Xiumei looked at the disconnected call and fell into anxiety.
Clearly, Jiang Su was going after Xu Ce.
Xu Ce was full of scandals. If Jiang Su made a move, Xu Ce would be finished.
In such a short time, where could he find someone as controversial and attention-grabbing as Xu Ce?
…
Early in the morning, Weibo exploded with trending topics:
#Jiang Su Recording Xu Ce# exploded;
#Xu Ce Sexually Harassed Multiple People# was trending;
#Xu Ce Tax Evasion# was trending;
#Zhao Qi Speaks Out# was new;
…
Jiang Su personally exposed the recording of Xu Ce threatening him.
He also reported Xu Ce for tax evasion.
And he gave marketing accounts the evidence Xu Mochen had previously collected of Xu Ce coercing newcomers into sleeping with him.
Jiang Su was currently very popular. With his personal involvement, the trending topics exploded.
For a time, Xu Ce was pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
By the time Xu Ce’s team reacted and tried to remove the trending topics, it was too late. They couldn’t be taken down.
Subsequently, celebrities who had been harassed by Xu Ce came forward to expose him.
Netizens were shocked.
[Xu Ce, that kind of guy, actually sexually harassed newcomers?]
[That trash should be shot!]
[Jiang Su is so awesome! Others didn’t dare speak out, but he did.]
[Xu Ce never expected that the seemingly easiest target, Jiang Su, was actually a tough nut to crack!]
[A little worried about Su Su. Will he be retaliated against?]
[Don’t worry. Su Su isn’t impulsive. He wouldn’t expose Xu Ce without a plan.]
[Yeah, I feel like Jiang Su’s background isn’t simple. He has connections with Shen Xiumei and Huo Qingyan. His first movie had such a good production team…]
[So satisfying! Can they finally hammer that old dog Xu Ce to death this time?]
[Breaking news: Bai Mu was also harassed by Xu Ce!]
[Tang Juanzi actually spoke out too??]
…
Bai Mu and Tang Juanzi both posted on their main accounts.
Bai Mu V: “Xu Ce was a senior I respected, but during the collaboration on a variety show, he made excessive demands. After I refused, he threatened me. At the time, my team and I only wanted to settle the matter quietly… I feel ashamed, and I hope it’s not too late to speak out…”
Tang Juanzi V: “I was once threatened by Xu Ce to attend a drinking party. But as a small actress with little power, no one would believe me…”
Bai Mu and Tang Juanzi are currently popular artists.
Though not top stars, they have some popularity.
Their Weibo posts quickly trended.
But the matter didn’t end there.
Soon, someone revealed that underage individuals were involved…
Xu Ce was officially investigated.
With things developing to this point, Xu Ce’s downfall was inevitable.
After seeing the trending topics about underage individuals, Jiang Su handed his phone to Xu Mochen. “Did you find out about this too?”
Xu Mochen shook his head. “This happened years ago. Xu Ce should know the seriousness of the matter and hid it well. It’s hard to find out… Maybe Xu Ce offended a big shot, and that big shot is going all out to crush him.”
…
Afterward…
State media spoke out.
Brands and programs that cooperated with Xu Ce successively issued statements terminating their collaborations, including the show “After Divorce, Are You Happy?”.
A netizen commented under the show’s official Weibo:
[Although Xu Ce is trash, I have to say, the scene where Jiang Su confronts Xu Ce is what I’m most looking forward to.]
The official Weibo account personally responded: “Rest assured, we’ve invited a guest more outstanding than Xu Ce. We won’t disappoint our viewers.”
Everyone knows this is a crazy production team.
Hearing the confident reply, the show’s fans became excited.
[Seeing this confident reply, I’m already looking forward to it.]
[A divorced celebrity with enough buzz in the entertainment circle… I can’t think of anyone!]
Many fans kept guessing names in the comments.
But most guesses were denied.
The show’s production team consequently created another trending topic: #AfterDivorceAreYouHappyNewGuest#
