China Entertainment: I am a big boss in the industry

Chapter 972 Help Me Get Rid of Him

The police took Lin Gao and Su Yu away. Lu Tianming looked at their backs with a sinister smile on his face.

"Lin Gao, do you think you won? This is just the beginning!" He said to himself, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes.

Lin Gao and Su Yu were taken to the police station for questioning. The police showed the video and asked Lin Gao why he beat others. Lin Gao smiled coldly and said, "I was just defending myself."

The policeman obviously didn't believe him and continued to ask: "Self-defense? You beat down more than a hundred people by yourself, and this is called self-defense?"

Lin Gao didn't want to explain too much, he knew it was useless to explain. He remained silent and allowed the police to question him.

Su Yu watched from the side, feeling extremely anxious. She knew that Lin Gao was wronged, but she could do nothing about it.

At this moment, a lawyer came in. He walked up to Lin Gao and said, "Mr. Lin, I'm your lawyer. My name is Zhang Wei."

Lin Gao glanced at him and said nothing. Zhang Wei continued, "I have learned what happened. I believe you are innocent. I will do my best to clear your name."

A glimmer of hope ignited in Lin Gao's heart. He looked at Zhang Wei and asked, "Can you really help me?"

Zhang Wei smiled confidently and said, "Of course, I am the best lawyer."

In the next few days, Zhang Wei rushed around to collect evidence and defend Lin Gao. He found several eyewitnesses to prove that Lin Gao was indeed acting in self-defense. He also found evidence that Lu Tianming hired men in black to attack Lin Gao.

Thanks to Zhang Wei's efforts, Lin Gao was finally cleared of the charges and released, while Lu Tianming was arrested by the police for hiring a killer to injure someone.

Lin Gao walked out of the police station, took a deep breath, and felt the air of freedom. He glanced at Su Yu beside him, his heart full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Su Yu." He said sincerely.

Su Yu smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome. This is what I should do."

Lin Gao looked at her, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that no matter what happened, Su Yu would be by his side, supporting him and accompanying him.

Just then, a black car stopped in front of them. The door opened and a man in a suit and leather shoes got out. He walked up to Lin Gao and said respectfully, "Mr. Lin, my master wants you to come over."

Lin Gao frowned and asked, "Who is your master?"

The man smiled and said, "My master's surname is Zhao."

Lin Gao was shocked. He knew who this master surnamed Zhao was. He was the head of the Zhao family, one of the top families in China.

He glanced at Su Yu and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Su Yu nodded and watched him get into the car.

The car slowly drove away and disappeared into the night. Su Yu stood there, feeling uneasy. She didn't know what the Zhao family wanted to talk to Lin Gao about, but she had a hunch that this matter was no trivial matter...

The black car drove smoothly in the night, and the atmosphere inside the car was solemn. Lin Gao leaned on the soft leather seat, his slender legs casually crossed, and there was no emotion on his handsome face. He gently turned the lighter in his hand, one by one, and the crisp metal collision sound was particularly clear in the silent car.

"What does Mr. Zhao want to talk to me about?" Lin Gao broke the silence, his voice low and with a barely perceptible chill.

The man in the suit glanced at him through the rearview mirror, his tone still respectful: "Mr. Lin will know when he arrives. The master has been waiting for a long time." Lin Gao did not ask any more questions, but just closed his eyes, and Su Yu's worried eyes appeared in his mind. What was the purpose of the Zhao family's patriarch summoning him personally this time?
The car finally stopped in front of a magnificent manor, and the tall iron gate slowly opened, revealing the brightly lit scene inside. Lin Gao got out of the car and looked up, only to feel that the manor was like a dormant giant beast, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

After entering the manor, Lin Gao was taken to an antique study room. An old man in his sixties was sitting behind a mahogany table, flipping through a book in his hand. Hearing footsteps, he slowly raised his head and glanced at Lin Gao sharply, his cloudy eyes flashing with a shrewd light.

"Are you Lin Gao?" the old man asked in a deep and powerful voice.

"It's me." Lin Gao answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I heard that you are very popular recently," the old man put down the book in his hand, and showed a meaningful smile on his face, "You are a top star in the entertainment industry, and you are also very skilled. You have defeated more than a hundred people by yourself. You are really a hero at a young age."

Lin Gao sneered in his heart. This old man was obviously mocking him. He said calmly, "Mr. Zhao, you are too kind. I was just defending myself."

“Self-defense?” the old man repeated, with a hint of mockery in his tone, “Young man, don’t be too arrogant. This world is not as simple as you think.”

Lin Gao remained silent, he knew that the old man had something else to say.

"I came to you today because I want to discuss a deal with you." The old man said straight to the point.

"Deal?" Lin Gao raised his eyebrows. "What deal?"

"I know you've been in some trouble recently," the old man paused and continued, "Although Lu Tianming has been arrested, there is someone behind him. That person is not someone you can deal with easily."

Lin Gao's heart trembled. He knew who the old man was talking about. Lu Tianming was just a small fry. He had always wanted to find out the real mastermind.

"What do you want me to do?" Lin Gao asked.

"It's very simple," the old man said with a cold light in his eyes, "help me get rid of him."

Lin Gao was silent. He knew that this was not an easy task. The mastermind behind the scenes was powerful and ruthless. To get rid of him was like pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth.

"What's in it for you?" Lin Gao asked.

"I can keep you safe and help you rise to a higher level in the entertainment industry."

The old man offered tempting conditions.

Lin Gao sneered in his heart, he knew it was just a trick of the old fox. He wanted more than just that, he wanted real freedom, freedom from being controlled by anyone.

"I need time to think about it." Lin Gao said.

"Okay," the old man nodded, "but I advise you to make a decision as soon as possible. That person won't wait forever."

Lin Gao left the manor with a lot of thoughts in his mind. The Zhao family's deal was undoubtedly a huge temptation, but it was also full of dangers. How should he choose?

When he returned to the apartment, Su Yu had already prepared dinner and was anxiously waiting for him. Seeing him come back, Su Yu immediately came up to him and asked with concern: "How is it? What does the Zhao family want to see you about?"
