Chapter 90

Wu Jingye could be considered a tough man; he had endured for a long time, always denying that he was the one who did it. Even after being confronted by his subordinates, he still insisted it was a frame-up. However, this might also be because Tian Maosheng and his team had not yet used harsh methods.

Now, with the Blue House watching, Tian Maosheng felt energized, more excited than if he were seeing a room full of beautiful women.

He even thought that if he handled this matter well today, he might leave a good impression on the big shots at the Blue House, and he would soon rise to prominence.

With this thought in mind, Tian Maosheng rolled up his sleeves and personally took charge!

Wu Jingye was a man with a solid build, but his appearance and physique were quite ordinary. Perhaps his eyes were sharp, like those of a lion or a wolf, even in his current exhausted and disheveled state.

Tian Maosheng seemed to appreciate this look. He held a police baton and walked up to Wu Jingye, using the baton to lift his head. A mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said, "Hmm, very good...!"

As he spoke, he suddenly raised the baton and struck Wu Jingye's head with a heavy blow. With a loud thud, Wu Jingye screamed in pain and fell to the ground along with his chair.

This shocked everyone. During interrogations, the use of violence was strictly prohibited. Even as the director, Tian Maosheng should have found a strategy, such as using something to cushion the blow, rather than hitting directly.

However, Tian Maosheng seemed to be in a frenzy. He waved his hand at the police officers behind him and ordered, "Help him up!"

No one dared to stop the director. Even if they had to take the blame later, they would have to accept it, of course, with some compensation.

Thus, two police officers obediently helped Wu Jingye, who was bleeding from his nose and mouth, back to his chair and then stood aside to watch.

"Do you think we won't dare to mistreat you?" Tian Maosheng lifted Wu Jingye's head with the baton, looking down at him with a mocking smile. "Of course, you probably think that this time, like before, you'll just spend a year or two in jail and then come out as a hero!"

Tian Maosheng suddenly chuckled, "That's right, it used to be that way, but I won't hide it from you. This time, the Blue House is watching, do you understand?"

The police officers in the room suddenly understood why he was so ruthless, but Wu Jingye didn't believe it. He thought it was a bluff. Despite the throbbing pain in his head, he stared at Tian Maosheng with a mocking look and sneered, "The Blue House, do you think Lee Jung-hee is Lee Kun-hee?"

Tian Maosheng was taken aback, then burst into laughter. Suddenly, he struck Wu Jingye's head again with the baton. With a loud thud, Wu Jingye screamed and fell to the ground once more.

This time, when the police officers helped Wu Jingye up, Tian Maosheng had his handcuffs removed and had his hands held by the officers. He then sneered at Wu Jingye, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. You can rest assured, I won't kill you..."

He raised the baton high and struck Wu Jingye's hand. This time, there was a crack, and Wu Jingye's hand was broken.

"Ah!" Wu Jingye screamed in pain, his face contorted. With blood still flowing from his nose and mouth, he looked terrifying.

But Tian Maosheng seemed not to notice. Instead, he tugged on Wu Jingye's broken hand, which was no less painful than the previous blow. Wu Jingye screamed again, his feet kicking the ground, his body trembling, but his eyes still fixed on Tian Maosheng.

"What, not happy?" Tian Maosheng sneered, playing with Wu Jingye's hand. In his pain, he said calmly, "There's nothing you can do about it. I'm in charge now, and I'll slowly play with your hand until even the hospital can't save it. Then, I'll play with your other hand and both your legs..."

Seeing that Wu Jingye still didn't speak, Tian Maosheng raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Tough, indeed a tough man, but why? You're just doing someone else's dirty work. Why put yourself, your daughter, and your old mother at risk..."

This time, Wu Jingye finally showed emotion. His face changed, and he almost roared at Tian Maosheng, "What are you talking about?"

Tian Maosheng was delighted, smiling broadly, "Don't be angry. I just happen to know about your illegitimate daughter in Seoul. To be honest, your secrecy was quite good. As for your old mother, I really wouldn't do something that would anger both gods and men unless absolutely necessary..."

As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his head, staring at Wu Jingye with a cold and fierce look, and said through gritted teeth, "But don't force me..."

"Are you crazy?" Wu Jingye said angrily through clenched teeth.

But Tian Maosheng narrowed his eyes, "Do you want to test me?" Seeing that Wu Jingye was still holding out, he waved to the police officer beside him, "Go and notify Seoul. Have them find a reason to arrest Wu Meixiu and bring her here..."

As he spoke, he looked at Wu Jingye, whose breathing had become heavy and his chest heaving. He clicked his tongue and said mockingly, "How about it? I'm giving you a chance to reunite with your daughter. Shouldn't you thank me?"

Wu Jingye wanted to tear him apart, but he was now like meat on a chopping block. Seeing the police officer at the door, he finally couldn't hold out and roared, "Wait..."

Tian Maosheng was delighted, but he kept a cold expression, "Alright, since you're a tough man, I'll give you a chance, but don't harm your daughter..."

Wu Jingye couldn't afford to. He now understood that this time was different. He had to admit defeat. As for the code of honor, it might get him a few years in jail, but it wouldn't involve his daughter.

So, he quickly confessed, in detail, and signed and fingerprinted the confession.

Tian Maosheng, having gotten what he wanted, didn't make things harder for him. Instead, he had a doctor come to provide temporary care. As for going to the hospital, that would have to wait until Jin Bingzhong was caught and confirmed.

Special measures were taken, and there were no rules for today's matter.

It was just past eleven in the morning, and Jin Bingzhong was in a restaurant with two of his subordinates, preparing to have lunch. Perhaps this was a free meal, so they didn't care about the time.

Laughing and joking, they ordered a lot of good food, and Jin Bingzhong was in high spirits. But just then, seven or eight plainclothes police officers suddenly burst into the private room. The leader pulled out a gun and shouted, "Don't move..."

What was going on? Jin Bingzhong was stunned. Could the owner have called the police? Even with ten lives, he wouldn't dare. He quickly reacted and smiled at the leader, "Officer, is there a mistake...?"

Before he could finish, the leader kicked him in the knee, "We're here for you!" Seeing that he tried to dodge, the leader pointed the gun at him and coldly said, "Try moving again?"

Seeing that Jin Bingzhong didn't dare move, the leader raised his hand and struck him on the head with the butt of the gun. The force was considerable, and Jin Bingzhong's scalp split open, blood gushing out.

This enraged Jin Bingzhong. He didn't know what was happening. He was a proud and arrogant man. He sprang up and glared at the leader, his eyes flashing with anger, "Can I ask why?"

But today, he met his match. The leader didn't even acknowledge him and kneed him in the stomach, making him stagger and fall to the ground, gasping in pain.

"Arrest them all!" After dealing with Jin Bingzhong, the leader waved his hand, and his subordinates moved in.

Jin Bingzhong was furious, but seeing the guns pointed at him, he was afraid to move. After being handcuffed, he asked, just before being taken out, "Officer, what's going on?"

Unfortunately, no one answered him!

Jin Bingzhong was thus arrested, and there were many others like him. At the filming site of "Secret," after finishing a scene, Ha Ji-won sat in a chair prepared by her assistant, comfortably sipping hot coffee.

This kind of treatment was only for top-tier stars, and she now had it all: a dedicated assistant, a stylist, and even a bodyguard. Even Kim Ha-neul envied her. Thinking back, her hesitation at the time seemed ridiculous.

However, just as she was enjoying a brief rest, several people with notebooks and press credentials suddenly rushed toward her, ignoring her assistant's attempts to stop them.

Fortunately, she had a bodyguard, but the journalists didn't let up. They suddenly shouted at her, "Miss Ha Ji-won, can you answer some questions about you and Dr. Lee Jung-hee?"

"Is it true that you are Dr. Lee Jung-hee's ** and that you transferred from Wellde to Empire Entertainment because of this?"

"Miss Ha Ji-won, is it true that you sparked a romance with Dr. Lee Jung-hee on the set of 'Curse' and that you spent multiple nights in hotels together?"

These were outrageous questions. What ** and what hotel nights? Even if it were a rumor, it shouldn't be asked like this. Moreover, in Korea, the media generally didn't focus on the private lives of celebrities.

Ha Ji-won's agent, Baek Soo-young, reacted first. Remembering the reports Zhang Dongguo had told her about this morning, she stepped in front of Ha Ji-won and whispered to her not to respond.

Ha Ji-won nodded, but she was furious, her teeth almost grinding to pieces. However, she soon widened her eyes in surprise because she saw some police officers suddenly appear and roughly arrest the journalists.

"What are you doing? I'm a journalist!" The journalists tried to resist, but the police were even more ruthless, striking them with batons and quickly taking them away.

Ha Ji-won was surprised and relieved, and the crew of "Secret" was stunned. Most of them were thinking, "Does Ha Ji-won not only have bodyguards but also police on standby to help her?"

If that were the case, how could other artists from entertainment companies survive? Even Liu Shi-yuan, from a wealthy family, didn't know what to say...!
