My soul and I have interpenetrated [Entertainment Circle]

Wenzhou No.1 Civilian Hospital, Children's Inpatient Department.

A thin-looking man came out of the ward lightly, and the heart-piercing cries of children could be heard everywhere in the corridor.

He glanced down and saw his wife who was squatting helplessly at the door of the ward, and said hoarsely, "Smile, I'll be back soon after I go home and change my clothes. I'll come to watch the night tonight."

The wife got up tremblingly, and took out the crumpled medical record in her hand, "If you can't renew the fee tomorrow, Xiao Ke's follow-up treatment will have to stop."

"I know, I will find a way." The man held his breath, but there was no confidence in his voice, "I, I will find a way."

What can be done?

Their only child began to suffer from illness, and the daily treatment cost was huge.

In less than two years, the savings were exhausted, the garage was sold off, and all the money that could be borrowed from the elders, relatives, and friends of both parties was borrowed, and even the donations collected by various love platforms were exhausted.

Seeing the end of the mountain, how can there be a way?

The husband and wife knew each other well, but they supported and trusted each other and never said anything depressing. The man dryly comforted his wife a few words, and then walked lightly and heavily towards the elevator entrance.

Suddenly, a nurse stopped him, "Xiao Ke's father! Someone asked me to give you this letter."

As he spoke, he handed over an envelope addressed to Lu Ting.

"letter?"

Lu Ting saw the strong characters on the envelope, hesitated for a moment before taking it, "Thank you."

The nurse saw that he was holding it steady, and only after turning around did he show a trace of impatience——

Hey, when the Lu family's children were first admitted to the hospital, a bunch of their little nurses even privately passed Lu Ting, a handsome father.

When the child is sick, the adults are tormented.

What a handsome and good man who cared about his family before, but in less than two years he has turned into this desolate look, and I heard that he is in arrears with the treatment fee again.

Where does Lu Ting still have the heart to look at the nurse's thoughts?

He opened the envelope with some doubts, his eyes suddenly changed after seeing the contents clearly, and even his fingertips trembled.

...

In a small coffee shop less than 500 meters away from the hospital, the sign of 'temporarily closed' was unexpectedly displayed when it was supposed to be open.

In the quiet small box on the second floor, Shi Zhou only took a sip of coffee before handing it back wrinkledly, "It still doesn't taste good."

Sheng Yanwen took out the coffee he drank without any distaste, and handed the coconut milk back, "It was originally ordered to refresh myself, you must try it."

Shi Zhou took a sip of coconut milk to dilute the bitterness, and looked at the heavy traffic outside the window, probably because it is located near the hospital, and the traffic is always extremely busy.

"Yanwen, do you think Lu Ting will come?"

The Central Hospital was overcrowded, and the two public figures really couldn't show up for a long time, so they had to go around and get a letter to guide them.

Sheng Yanwen glanced at his watch and estimated the time, "Yes, the current situation of the Lu family is very difficult. When people are in a desperate situation, even if it is a prank, they will try it with anticipation."

The electronic welcome sound downstairs rang.

Not long after, Lu Ting's figure appeared on the second floor accompanied by the sound of trampling wooden stairs.

Eye to eye.

Lu Ting's eyes changed from tiredness to astonishment and then to uncertainty, "...Mr. Sheng, Mr. Shi, are you looking for me?"

Even though he hadn't paid attention to the entertainment industry for a long time, Lu Ting still recognized the two people in front of him, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly. In a short time, he couldn't figure out what was going on?

Sheng Yanwen took a look at Shi Zhou, and said, "Hi Mr. Lu, I'm Sheng Yanwen, please sit down."

Lu Ting took two steps forward, more suspicious, "You...I..."

The letter said that there are channels to get money in a short period of time.

Lu Ting no longer cared about the so-called truth or falsehood, he only knew that if there was even a shred of hope, he couldn't miss it and give up.

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to come to meet you in this way. We learned about the current situation and address of your home on the relevant love crowdfunding platform."

"We are willing to provide medical funds for children." Sheng Yanwen didn't play tricks at all, and threw out the business, "But my wife and I came here today because we have something to ask you for verification."

"Of course, you can understand it as an exchange of interests, and both parties get what they need."

In the world of adults, there are not so many good-natured human relationships, not to mention that before today, they were just strangers who had never met each other.

Lu Ting didn't resist Sheng Yanwen's way of speaking. He stretched out his pockets and rubbed his hands uneasily, "Mr. Sheng, I'm just an ordinary person. I don't know what proof you want from me?"

If Sheng Yanwen's words are true, Lu Ting wants to make this deal than anyone else!

No matter what the other party's purpose is, as long as he has the money to pay for the child's treatment, he can do whatever he wants!

Sheng Yanwen didn't speak, but handed over the initiative to ask questions to Shi Zhou.

Shi Zhou pondered his words for a while, and said cautiously, "Mr. Lu, do you know Shi Zhou and Nan Yao?"

"..."

The moment the name came to his ears, Lu Ting's expression suddenly changed.

Shi Zhou and Sheng Yanwen are both hard-working people in the entertainment industry, and their ability to observe words and expressions is online. When they see each other's reaction, they know there is something going on.

Before coming, they had investigated Lu Ting's past background, "Mr. Lu, when you were 20 years old, you were a signed artist of 'Yinmeng Media' invested by Opteron."

According to the assessment list that the company had announced, Lu Ting's level has always been one of the best, and he even released a single to test the waters.

"Later, Yinmeng Media announced its disbandment. At that time, the person in charge gave its artists two choices, either transfer to other companies to renew their contracts, or return to freedom with the lowest level of termination fee."

Lu Ting, who had the most momentum of development, resolutely chose the latter.

Shi Zhou tapped the table twice with his fingertips, and mentioned the key point, "Before announcing bankruptcy and dissolution, your company organized a cruise team building."

"Then during the team building, the undebuted artists Shi Zhou and Nan Yao who were both signed to the contract both fell into the sea and died without a trace, right?"

Speaking of this, Lu Ting's face has completely changed.

He took two quick breaths, and retreated, "I, I don't know you..."

"Mr. Lu, to be honest, Shi Zhou is my brother."

Shi Zhou was the first to reveal his identity, and his words were sharp, "I just want the truth, and I want to know what happened in that so-called 'team building'?"

"As long as you are willing to confess everything, I am willing to guarantee the full cost of your daughter's follow-up treatment and help you find better medical resources."

Sheng Yanwen patted Shizhou on the back, and asked, "Mr. Lu, I know it's presumptuous for us to come here like this, but it's been a long time, and many clues have been cut off."

"So I can only take the liberty to bother you. If you are willing to make it clear, we will definitely pay for your daughter's follow-up expenses."

Is hiding the truth important?Or is the child's life important?

Lu Ting was nearly ten years older than them, so he naturally knew the priorities, and he had no choice.

Lu Ting stepped back and said hoarsely and tiredly, "Is there any smoke?"

This coffee shop has ventilated doors and windows, and there is no no-smoking sign. It is a special situation, and he really needs something to refresh his mind.

Sheng Yanwen glanced at Shizhou and asked, "Is coffee okay? My wife is not used to the smell of cigarettes?"

Lu Ting looked at Shi Zhou, "Life is already hard, I can't taste this stuff."

Shi Zhou took the initiative to say, "Then I'll buy it for you."

"no need."

Hearing the words to stop him, he took out brand new cigarettes and lighters from his coat pocket with some inexplicable guilt, and handed them to Lu Ting, "I brought them here."

"..."

Shi Zhou didn't speak, and his right hand, which had been hiding under the table, couldn't help poking Sheng Yanwen's waist, with a bit of force.

Sheng Yanwen rubbed against her while catching him, begging for mercy even more to appease her.

Lu Ting didn't have the energy to play polite, and he didn't notice the love gestures between the two of them under the table, "Since Xiao Ke got sick, I even saved money on cigarettes."

The cigarette butt was lit, and the smoke filled the air.

Shi Zhou hated the smell of cigarettes, but he didn't show his distaste considering the occasion.

Lu Ting took a deep breath and let his thoughts drift back to the year, "When I was 22 years old, I went to the Haishi competition and won the prize, and then I signed a company with scouts."

"A total of 16 people signed contracts with me at the same time, and the ratio of male to female is [-] to [-]."

Because Lu Ting was outstanding in appearance among ordinary people back then, with good talent and strength, plus he was older and more mature than artists of the same period——

Not only the company is optimistic about him, but also the artists who signed contracts at the same time are also willing to get closer to him.

"I know Xiao Zhou, he is very good." Lu Ting praised him from the bottom of his heart, and then took a closer look at Shi Zhou, "Actually, you two have similar eyebrows and eyes."

It's just that Shi Zhou looked cold, and Shi Day was milder.

"..."

Shi Zhou didn't answer the call, and the fact that it was similar to Shi Zhou was the source of his stress since he was a child.

If possible, Shi Zhou just wants to live as himself.

Sheng Yanwen didn't want outsiders to touch Shizhou's scars, so he reminded calmly, "Mr. Lu, what's the matter with team building?"

Lu Ting stared at the burning cigarette, and let out a sneer from his throat, "What group building? That's an excuse to coax us into the set! The cruise ship sounds domineering and expensive, but it actually prevents us from escaping. .”

Shi Zhou and Sheng Yanwen looked at each other, they understood vaguely in their hearts, but they didn't dare to figure it out.

Lu Ting continued to explain the facts he knew, "The sixteen of us got on the boat together, and the first step was to be handed over all electronic devices that could be used for video and audio recording."

"We didn't know until we got on the ship and set sail that there were big names from all walks of life waiting on the ship."

There are investors, producers, directors, and officials. To put it bluntly, they cannot be offended.

"That's simply another sea and sky feast in the name of 'resources', and us silly newcomers are their big shots' food."

"I learned later that this kind of cruise team building has happened more than once, and it has been staged several times before us."

Shi Zhou recalled what Sheng Congyun said in the study that day——

Qin Yi relied on this kind of non-influential capital means to carry forward Zhao's and Haolong's capital.

The entertainment circle is always the most glamorous and the dirtiest existence.

"There are brave newcomers who are willing to sell their bodies and souls for the sake of their future, and then there are those who are timid or who reject them from the bottom of their hearts, such as Nanyao."

Lu Ting rubbed his face, "I remember that on the first night when Nanyao was performing, she was touched by a drunken director to take advantage of her. After the performance, she went backstage and panicked and her eyes were red from crying."

"Speaking of which, Nan Yao and Shi Zhou have a tendency towards that kind of relationship."

"Si Zhou, who has always been good-tempered, even went to the team leader to protest after learning about this. Of course it was useless."

This is already on the thief's boat, how can there be any reason to let him leave halfway?

"At that time, I lived in the same cabin as Shi Zhou and two other boys. After learning the true purpose of this team building, everyone was suffocating."

They are all young and energetic boys who dream of signing contracts. Who would be willing to let those middle-aged men spoil them?

"After knowing that the company and the team building were a scam, the four of us impulsively thought of exposing them. At least we had to find a way to 'threat' them to let us go back intact."

Thinking about it now, this idea is naive and ridiculous.

"Back then I smuggled a spare mobile phone in the suitcase, and the four of them planned to record evidence. At worst, it would be hidden in the snow when I went back. Anyway, I don't want to take this dirty road."

So, Lu Ting stuffed it into the hidden 'hole' pocket of his denim jacket, and secretly recorded it in the name of a performance the next day.

"...But that day's performance was only halfway through when there was a heart-piercing cry for help from outside the banquet hall. Shi Zhou recognized Nan Yao's voice and rushed out without hesitation."

At that time, Lu Ting had the attitude of a big brother. He was afraid that Shi Zhou would suffer alone, so he immediately called the other two boys who were close friends to run out to check the situation.

"It was the same director who went drunk. He got the key card of Nanyao's cabin from the waiter, trying to force him to attack him. Nanyao smashed his forehead in panic and fear, and ran out barefoot. .”

"The director changed his face when he was injured, and Boss Qin, who organized the big shot, also changed his face when he learned the truth. He asked the bodyguards to subdue Shi Zhou and our other artists, and said—"

In order to make amends, the director can kill Nan Yao as much as he wants.

"A girl under the age of 20 panicked when she heard this, and the barefoot Nan Yao fell off the deck while struggling."

Shi Zhou's breath froze, and Sheng Yanwen's expression was also solemn.

Lu Ting stated word by word, "Shi Zhou frantically broke away from the security guards, he wanted to stop the cruise ship, and for a moment he had no sense to criticize the group of big shots, but in the end..."

Shi Zhou's heart tightened, "What happened?"

Lu Ting said bluntly, "Boss Qin kicked him down hard! He even warned us in public that this is what happens to disobedient people."

Shoot the bird that stands out, and kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

"Everyone was shocked, and I was no exception." Lu Ting did not dare to look directly into Shi Zhou's eyes, and could only let the cigarette that was burning to the end paralyze him.

"I, I watched Shiri struggling on the surface of the sea, and gradually turning into an invisible dot."

Everyone knows that in unknown seas, without timely rescue, the possibility of surviving is very slim.

The director probably didn't expect Qin Yi to be so ruthless, and immediately called a stop. After all, two lives were saved, and this 'team building' came to an end not long after it started.

"Boss Qin asked all of us to speak with one voice, and not to leak anything, otherwise he has plenty of ways to deal with us. On the contrary, if he is obedient, he will have a lot of resources to support us."

The guilt that had been buried for nearly 20 years overwhelmed Lu Ting again. He covered his face and let out a muffled sound from between his fingers.

"I know, I'm sorry for Shi Zhou, I couldn't think of a way to save him at that time, but, but I really don't know what to do?"

At that time, Lu Ting was only in his early 20s. How could he have the confidence to compete with capital?

"Later, I resolutely chose to terminate the contract and quit. I would rather live an ordinary life than get involved in the dirty and dark entertainment circle."

Later, Lu Ting, who was in his 30s, finally got married.

He and his wife struggled to have a daughter. Not long after the happy life in their dreams, the child suddenly fell ill.

Lu Ting smiled wryly, and lit another cigarette, "Sometimes when I dream back in the middle of the night, I also think, is it because I committed crimes by ignoring death back then, so all the retribution was on my daughter?"

If this is the case, he would rather bear the pain than let his precious daughter, you, bear all this at a young age!

Lu Tingxi said with a straight face, "Mr. Sheng, Mr. Shi, I have confessed all this. Are you really willing...will you give me a sum of money for treatment?"

As he said that, he was deeply afraid that the other party would go back on his word, "Just treat it as if I borrowed it! I will find a way to return it to you in my lifetime! Please!"

"Mr. Lu, don't worry, what Yan Wen and I promised you will not go back on track. The child's health is important, so we will definitely help if we can help!"

Shi Zhou took the lead in reassuring, and turned to ask the key point, "You said you recorded video on the boat before?"

Lu Ting was aroused by Shi Zhou's words, and became more frank, "Yes! The video is not deleted."

"In the beginning, I was afraid that those people and the company would make trouble for me. After the contract was terminated, I was still afraid that something would happen, so I kept it as the last straw."

Sheng Yanwen quickly asked, "Is the video still there?"

"The last time I remember it was in a laptop."

Lu Ting tried his best to think about it, and shook his head uncertainly, "But after so long, that computer has accumulated dust at my father-in-law's house, and it may not be possible to open it, and there is no way to guarantee the image of the files inside."

I have been silently paying attention to the system, and then I took the initiative to speak, [Zhoubao!As long as the computer and the video are still there, no matter what the damage is, I can repair and extract it! 】

Shi Zhou pursed his lips, loving his capable little system so much, "Mr. Lu, can I trouble you to find it? It doesn't matter if it's broken, I'll find a way to fix it here."

"Okay, I'll go back and look for it tonight."

Lu Ting is not a fool, he can guess the reason why Shizhou and Sheng Yanwen came here to look for him.

It's just that time has passed, and now he only wants his daughter to get better soon, safe and healthy, and it doesn't matter if he has to risk his life for other things.

If justice can really atone for sin, he is also willing to testify.

...

The door closes again.

Sheng Yanwen continued to power on the phone, "Hurry up on the way, I can go back around [-]:[-] pm, are you hungry? Buy something to eat on the way?"

Shi Zhou shook his head, "Let parents save some food, go back and eat."

Sheng Yan responded, ready to start the car, "OK."

"Wait a moment."

Shi Zhou shouted, and suddenly stretched out his hand to touch Sheng Yanwen's waist, and even touched the root of his thigh with bad intentions.

"..."

Sheng Yan didn't know why, but after seeing Shang Shizhou's pointed eyes, he still moved his Adam's apple without a trace, "Zhouzhou, what's wrong?"

Shi Zhou's hand suddenly changed direction, and he took out the cigarette in his coat pocket all at once, "Tell me, who promised me not to smoke?"

"..."

Sheng Yanwen raised his hand to surrender, fearing that Shizhou would be angry, "Brother Jin gave it to me a few days ago, I really didn't smoke it! You were still awake that morning, and he came to visit because I was afraid that I would be too nervous and wanted me to slow down a little. .”

"Smoking is not allowed in the hospital ward. I also know that you hate the smell of cigarettes. You haven't opened it until you left it in your bag."

Sheng Yanwen took the cigarette from Shizhou's hand, and kissed the back of his hand flatteringly, "Before I met Lu Ting, I just took it with me because I felt it would be useful."

"Even if I take a cigarette butt next time, I will report it to you. Don't be angry?"

The system's Q-version villain watched a movie with virtual popcorn, and made an accurate evaluation, [tsk tsk, the state is strictly controlled! 】

Shi Zhou suppressed a smile silently.

He was not angry at first, but when he saw Sheng Yanwen explaining so sincerely, his heart softened even more.

He leaned forward to kiss her actively, and his tone was soft, "I'm not angry, it's just that smoking is bad for your health, try to touch as little as possible, okay?"

Sheng Yanwen kissed her deeply, "Well, listen to you."

Shi Zhou pursed his lips, and slightly pushed him away, "Let's go, we still have a lot of things to do when we get Lu Ting's video."

"Ah."

Sheng Yan heard that there was a trace of sternness in his eyes, and the next confrontation with Qin Yi will be the real tough battle.

--

In the Linglong clubhouse in Haishi, the door of the box opened in response.

The well-dressed Deng Shaoyang walked in accompanied by his manager. When he saw Zhao Yanqing sitting on the sofa, a trace of uneasiness appeared in his pupils.

The agent took the initiative to speak on behalf of Deng Shaoyang, and was very enthusiastic, "Mr. Zhao, long time no see. Thank you for connecting us with the good project that Shaoyang introduced to us."

Zhao Yanqing pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at Deng Shaoyang with his eyes hidden under the glasses, "You're welcome, Mr. Deng is able to win Director Liang's appreciation because of his own ability."

He motioned to the waiter next to him to pour the wine, and lifted the glass slightly, "Mr. Deng, sit down and have a drink?"

While speaking, he still didn't forget to glance at the agent secretly.

As the manager of the old fritters, he was very clear, he patted his artist on the back without any trace, and found a reason to leave.

The waiter delivered the champagne to Deng Shaoyang's hands, and left quickly as well.

pat.

The compartment door closed again.

"Shao Yang, we've known each other for two or three months, right?" Zhao Yanqing patted the empty seat on the sofa seemingly casually, suggesting, "You really didn't express anything about a project that Director Liang invested so much?"

"..."

Deng Shaoyang's face changed slightly, he was repelled in his heart and didn't speak.

The two met at an industry banquet.

At that time, Deng Shaoyang was competing with Director Liang for the male lead of a big IP in ancient costumes. He was also competing with him on the same field as another popular young boy, Bo Yang.

Zhao Yanqing took a fancy to his good looks at that banquet, and came to contact him intentionally or unintentionally during this time.

Since his debut, Deng Shaoyang has always wanted to rely on his strength to gain a firm foothold, but some time ago he was influenced by rumors and Shi Zhou in the shooting of variety shows——

Later, director Liang made a mistake during the audition, which made the other party more inclined to the competitor.

Seeing that the good project was about to fly away, Deng Shaoyang accepted Zhao Yanqing's invitation half-heartedly.

Of course, the two haven't had any real relationship yet.

Seeing that Deng Shaoyang was silent, Zhao Yanqing took a sip of champagne, "I thought we had reached a consensus on a certain matter? Director Liang's cooperation agreement is my reward for you."

Hearing this, Deng Shaoyang clenched his wine glass even more tightly, with a trace of uneasiness in his expression, "... Shizhou's fall into the sea has nothing to do with me, I didn't lead him to the end of the corridor! Besides, he is fine now, Mr. Zhao still has nothing to do with him." Have a leisurely drink?"

Seeing Deng Shaoyang's timid evasion, Zhao Yanqing smiled boredly, "Don't worry, the police can't find us."

Li Da belongs to his brother Qin Yi.

He used to be a gangster on the road, and his tone was very strict.

There is no surveillance on this boat, and there is no witness. Even if Shi Zhou is killed after he falls into the sea, how many years can Li Da be sentenced?At worst, after he was released from prison, he would be given an extra sum of money and send it away.

"This matter has little to do with us. Since you said you didn't do it, what are you afraid of?"

Zhao Yanqing raised his eyebrows, and even thought of joking, "Are you afraid of going to jail?"

As soon as the words fell, the door of the box was suddenly slammed into it.

Zhao Yanqing, who was drinking, choked, and the words of dissatisfaction disappeared the moment he saw the police uniform, while Deng Shaoyang, who was a public figure beside him, panicked even more.

"..."

The leading policeman confirmed his appearance, and thought to himself——

well.

One catch two.

He took out his police certificate and relevant documents, "Is that Zhao Yanqing? There are evidences that suspect that you were related to the car accident of the crew of "Bone Mirror" three years ago. Please cooperate with our investigation."

"Deng Shaoyang, I now suspect that you are suspected of being involved in an incident of falling into the sea. Please also cooperate with our police investigation!"

Two sentences in succession, slaps in the face!

Zhao Yanqing and Deng Shaoyang glanced at each other, and their expressions froze at the same time!
