Veteran Hong Kong stars reorganize the Chinese entertainment industry.

"Liu Zhongze bullies Lin Youyu? And it's trending on social media!?"

"Liu Zhongze is playing the field, two women are fighting over him? How come I'm involved too?"

"Liu Zhongze was involved in a street brawl. Several witnesses stated that he was extremely vicious and might be a fugitive suspect who needs to be thoroughly investigated?"

Jiang Yue picked up her phone and held it to her ear, speechless. "What is all this nonsense? How come when I looked up Liu Zhongze, all I found was dirt on you?"

Suddenly Jiang Yue fell silent. She said, "Wait a minute, let me ask first. I feel like I've seen this before."

Jiang Yue hurriedly hung up the phone and called back nearly twenty minutes later, her tone harsh and clearly angry.

"I've found out what happened, and it was indeed my mother who did it. She usually tries to clear the names of the artists in her company by using other people's scandals to suppress any revelations about her artists."

Jiang Yue's appearance in Liu Zhongze's negative news was something Jenny Lin hadn't anticipated. She said that once the public opinion fermented, it would be difficult to completely control, so she could only ask her to be patient and wait until her mother would help her suppress the incident again, ensuring that no news about her could be found online.

"I'm really sorry, but my mom becomes very calm when it comes to company matters. She just wanted my brother Youyu and Tian Xiwei's matter to pass. She didn't expect that there were people manipulating public opinion behind the scenes. After this period, my mom will give you some compensation and remove the trending topic."

"Ha, is this the attitude you're offering?" Liu Zhongze's tone was cold; he didn't like it.

As he arrived in this era, his memories and his past life gradually merged, and his personality also changed quietly, especially in the crew of "Heroic Spirits," where those people influenced his current personality.

"What do you mean by the attitude we've shown? Liu Zhongze, I'm at least trying to help you, okay? Look how nasty the comments are on the trending topics, but I haven't complained."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Jiang Yue was taken aback.

Yes, what does this have to do with Liu Zhongze?

She had previously discussed with Lin Luoying whether Liu Zhongze was a good match, and ended up making his girlfriend indifferent as well, which is very unkind in everyday life.

Now her mother has tricked Liu Zhongze again, so it's fair to say that neither she nor her daughter wants Liu Zhongze to have an easy time.

"Um... I'm sorry, I really didn't know this would happen. What do you think we should do? I'll try to discuss it with my mom."

"No need. I've seen plenty of those kinds of 'public opinion knives' that can decide someone's life or death at will. People with that kind of audacity usually don't care about the lives of others; they only care about whether their own interests have been harmed."

Liu Zhongze spoke the last few words carefully, one by one: "I will handle this matter myself, so you, Miss Jiang, don't need to worry about it."

For some reason, Liu Zhongze was particularly irritable. He couldn't find the reason for his irritability, so he attributed it to this matter.

Not long after, Liu Zhongze's phone rang again. He thought it was Jiang Yue calling, but when he picked it up, it was He Qian.

"Hey, Nakazawa, are you alright? I heard you just got back to the country today. Do you need us to do a live stream for you to help clarify the facts?"

"No."

He Qian was silent for a moment, then asked, "You don't mean you think we don't want to help you because we didn't explain, do you?"

A familiar voice came from next to He Qian. Wang Xiaoming said, "It's not that we don't want to help you, it's that we're stuck with the contract. If we violate the rules of the 'Heroic Spirit' drama, we'll have to pay a lot of penalties. And you know about Lin Youyu. He's both the male lead and an artist of Jiujiang Film and Television Company. There's no way we can shake him."

"Are you saying you're going to let Zhongze bear all this alone? I'm not that kind of person!" He Qian's voice came weakly from the other end of the phone.

Wang Xiaoming weakly argued on the other end of the phone: "It's not that we want him to bear it alone, but clarifying things now is useless. Why don't we wait until the show is about to air and then do a live broadcast by the production team, telling the real Zhongze to the audience along with the show, so that everyone can know and see the truth."

Liu Zhongze understood that He Qian and the others had called because they were worried about him and wanted to offer advice. They probably sensed that things were not going well when they called him before, but they didn't expect Liu Zhongze to be so busy.

"Hey? Can you hear me?" Liu Zhongze's voice was loud. He waited until the two had almost stopped arguing before continuing, "You don't need to do this. I know you guys have put a lot of effort into this show and love this tokusatsu drama. I will explain things clearly in my own way, so you don't need to worry."

He Qian's voice immediately came through: "Zhongze, it's very difficult for you to succeed on your own!"

"Yes, Zhongze, why don't you come to Jiujiang and find us? We can discuss a way to clear your name without sacrificing the 'Heroic Spirit' drama."

Faced with their earnest advice, Liu Zhongze firmly said, "They can throw dirty water on me at will because they think I'm easy to bully. Since they look down on me so much, I'll use my strength to subdue them. By then, I believe the audience won't care what the truth is."

Wang Xiaoming's voice was tense. She said, "Please don't. I know you can fight, but in today's society, you can't get by just by having strong fists."

"Yes, Nakazawa, you should listen to us. We're truly your friends and would never harm you. Let's all think of a way to solve this together, shall we?"

"No need, Sister He, I'll handle this myself. You guys go ahead and get busy with the broadcast. I have a premiere to attend soon."

The two tried to persuade him for a while longer, until Li Yun's urging voice came from the other end of the phone, at which point they sighed and hung up.

Liu Zhongze dialed another number. He had never been so busy making and receiving calls before.

"Director Zhao, where will the premiere be held?"

"Brother Liu, it seems like someone's been buying smear articles to target you lately. Do you need me to use my connections to help clear your name?"

"No need, Director Zhao. I had a great time filming in Japan. Thank you for thinking of me."

Zhao Dekai laughed heartily. Ever since witnessing Liu Zhongze's strength, he had completely regarded Liu Zhongze as a god-like figure. He said, "Speaking of this matter, it was that little devil Miike who benefited from you, brother. Miike should be thanking you! Let's not talk about this anymore. You're in China now, right? Did you get off the plane near Maolin City? I'll have Xu Zhen pick you up."
