Don't call me a singing god, I just want to go back to doing scientific research.

"We are from the tax bureau's inspection team. All finance personnel are requested to cooperate with our work and seal all accounts!"

"We are from the Economic Crime Investigation Division of the Public Security Bureau. We need Mr. Wang, the company's legal representative, to come with us!"

"Fire safety inspection! Everyone, immediately leave your posts and assemble in the lobby!"

The sounds of commands, employee screams, and scattering documents mingled together.

The usually aloof and superior directors were now ashen-faced, ordered to stand against the wall, and forbidden from answering or making phone calls. Several employees who tried to secretly delete data from their computers were immediately pinned to their workstations by plainclothes officers who rushed in and presented them with a platinum bracelet.

The company CEO, the usually jovial and witty Mr. Wang, was now deathly pale, his legs trembling, and he was practically dragged out by two policemen. He kept muttering, "Impossible...who's messing with me...is it Guanghe? Or Leran? Impossible..."

Wu Qichuan stood shakily beside President Wang, his mind blank and completely unable to think.

Those artists whom Star Entertainment regarded as cash cows also met their end.

A young male celebrity who rose to fame through hype and buying followers is now frolicking with a newly hooked young model in a luxury apartment.

His agent started calling him incessantly. He answered impatiently, only to hear a frantic scream on the other end: "Run! Something's happened at the company! All your dirty secrets are probably going to be dug up! Hurry..."

Before he could finish speaking, the apartment doorbell was rang loudly.

He looked through the peephole and saw several people in police uniforms standing outside the door.

With a "thud," the phone slipped from his hand and hit the floor.

Another female celebrity who relies on playing the victim to gain fans, but whose private life is actually chaotic and even involved in several sex scandals, is currently having a spa treatment.

She had just finished taking a serene photo and was about to post it on Weibo when her personal phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number.

She frowned as she answered the phone. A cold male voice came from the other end: "Is this Ms. XX? We are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. We are hereby formally informing you that you are suspected of intentional assault and are required to report to the XX branch office immediately for investigation."

The actress's mind went blank, and she almost rolled off the massage bed.

At the eye of the storm was the collapse and lamentation of countless fans.

The fan groups of those disgraced celebrities who were taken away were in complete uproar.

What happened?! How could my brother be taken away?! There must be a mistake!

  [At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 101 Reading Network (202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ). It's super useful for following your favorite books!]

[Starry Sky Entertainment is utterly despicable! To protect themselves, they pushed their brother out to take the blame! What a garbage company!]

Sisters, don't panic! We believe our brother is innocent! Let's wait for the official announcement! Let's flood the comments sections of official media outlets to clear his name!

[Clarify my foot! The police have already come to my door! I knew something was off about him a long time ago, so I stopped being a fan. Damn it, can I get my money back for what I spent on him?]

The group instantly split into several factions: those who defended the group, those who cursed, and those who unfollowed and turned against it, creating a huge uproar.

……

Airport arrival hall.

Gu Yang pushed the luggage cart with his dog Nuonuo sitting on it. As he walked, he let out a big yawn, but he forced it back halfway through.

"I'm finally back. I feel like I can sleep in bed forever."

Ling Luo followed beside him, holding Gu Yang's wrist with one hand as he walked without looking where he was going. Hearing this, she merely glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.

As Gu Yang walked, he took out his phone, ready to see what new videos his CP fans had edited.

However, the moment the phone was turned on, countless push notifications and @ messages flooded in like a burst dam, the phone vibrated incessantly, and the screen froze instantly.

"Holy crap, what's going on?" Gu Yang was startled by the commotion and had to tap the screen several times before it returned to normal.

He casually clicked on a push notification, and the bold words in the title instantly made the sleepiness on his face disappear without a trace.

Breaking News! Star Entertainment is under investigation for suspected multiple illegal and criminal activities!

Gu Yang's pupils suddenly contracted, and his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.

His fingers trembled as he swiped rapidly across the screen, reading news articles, photos from the scene, and chaotic videos... all pointing to one fact—Star Entertainment was finished.

That once invincible entertainment giant, that company that had been secretly trying to sabotage him just a few days ago, collapsed in just a few hours.

Gu Yang's mind went blank; he felt like he was watching a fantasy movie.

This...this is too fast.

It's too fast for reality.

Ling Luo was focused on leading Gu Yang, who wasn't paying attention to where he was going, out of the way. He seemed to notice Gu Yang stopping, and turned his head slightly, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Gu Yang quickly grabbed his phone and shoved the screen in front of him, practically jumping for joy: "Ling Luo, Ling Luo, look, a huge bombshell from Xingchen!"

Just a few days ago, he was thinking about how to leave without paying the penalty for breach of contract, but he never expected to be free today.

Ah! Has his luck finally turned around?

Hahaha!

I really want to burst out laughing.

Ling Luo looked down at Gu Yang's phone, where all the trending topics were dominated by Xingchen.

He frowned. Didn't Old Zhou say this morning that we shouldn't make any big moves for the time being?

How come it turned into a full checkup in the afternoon?

After thinking it over, Ling Luo took out her phone and dialed Old Zhou's number to ask if anything had happened.

"No, I reported this matter as soon as I hung up the phone this morning. The higher-ups said that since the evidence is conclusive, we should make a big show of it to warn others and clean up the environment of the entertainment industry."

Upon hearing this, Ling Luo nodded: "Understood, teacher."

"Well, don't worry about this matter. To avoid anyone targeting you and causing you harm," Old Zhou's somewhat aged voice came through the phone. "Your priority right now is to rest well and get proper treatment. As for the rest, we old men will take care of it, okay?"

"Okay, I'll hang up now. I'll come see you again when I have time."

"Yes, you're coming over. You mentioned last time that you were working on a study. I need to take a look at it first. If it's suitable, you can submit a few more SCI papers while you're not at the research institute. This will be beneficial for your professional title evaluation."

"Teacher, it's still early. I'm only twenty."

Although he obtained his doctoral degree last year, he still does not have enough qualifications to be selected as an outstanding young scientist.

Because Gu Yang was by his side, Ling Luo didn't explain it very clearly, but Old Zhou could understand what he meant.

"It's not early. These titles aren't based on age. Alright, we'll talk in detail when you get here."

Upon hearing this, Ling Luo could only nod and reply, "Okay, I'll go the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, Ling Luo hung up the phone.

As soon as he hung up the phone, he saw Gu Yang staring at him with bright, sparkling eyes, like a puppy that had just spotted a bone.

Ling Luo was startled: "What's wrong with you?"

"Hehe, Ling Luo, your studio needs more staff, right?" Gu Yang said, patting his chest. "Look at me, I can be both cool and sweet, and I'm incredibly capable."

Looking at Gu Yang, who wasn't very bright, Ling Luo suddenly felt a little worried about herself.

If they were hired into the studio, I don't know how tiring it would be.

"This was originally opened for you," Ling Luo could only sigh in the end. "Alright, let's go, let's go back."
