"Really? It's a pity that Hyun-eun had bad luck. She didn't plan her career well and it suddenly sank. I struggled and managed to get some fame. But you shouldn't get too close to your Aunt Hyun-eun. Her private life is terrible."
"Hmm, why?" Chu Yinan looked puzzled, her big eyes filled with confusion.
"The most important thing in marriage is loyalty. Hyun Eun's private life is terrible. She has a husband, but the children are not her husband's."
Chu Yinan thought it was something serious. If he hadn't known the truth, he would have been fooled. Jiang Jinxiang's hardware had a manufacturing defect and couldn't be repaired after several repairs. Aunt Xuanen, thinking of her husband, bought related services from Turing Tower.
Later, Jiang Jinxiang couldn't get it repaired under warranty, so he secretly bought black market parts to replace the hardware, right? It's said that apart from a slightly better visual effect, the new hardware didn't work properly and only supported drainage.
Even drainage might be slow and intermittent.
The information provided by Fu Xi came through the earpiece.
[Fu Xi: I just dug up the background of Ishihara Yui and Jiang Jinxiang's team back then. During the period when Jiang Jinxiang and Lee Hyun-eun established their relationship, Ishihara Yui had close contact with them. There were quite a few hotel check-in records and a considerable number of private residence meeting records. During that period, the resources that were originally supposed to be allocated to Lee Hyun-eun were taken over by her.]
Based on the available information, their career plan seems quite clear; later on, they started leveraging their fame to raise funds, garner votes, and cultivate relationships with various sectors.
I'll beat you to a pulp!
Chu Yinan had been wondering why Mr. Jiang was behaving so strangely. If he wanted to secure his position in the company, there was no need to sideline Aunt Hyun-eun. If he let her grow bigger, wouldn't he be more secure?
It turns out that he had other female celebrities sell their bodies to him in exchange for resources. Could it be that Kang Jin-sang used Hyun-eun's status to control the resources first, and then contacted other female celebrities in private, using some unspoken rules to get resources arranged?
It's quite a coincidence that Ishihara Yui, after secretly harming Lee Hyun-eun and stealing her resources, has now set her sights on him, Chu.
"Auntie Ishihara Yui, the posts I saw on the forum all said that people in the entertainment industry are being treated badly by celebrities. What does that mean? Aren't mushrooms a type of food? What does that have to do with entertainment artists?"
"That's for sure. Just look at how terrible your Aunt Hyun-eun's private life is, and other female celebrities are even worse. But I'm on the side of justice, so I'm naturally different from them!"
Sis, you don't really think of me as a child, do you?
The cute expression on Chu Yinan's face vanished, replaced by a cold and calm demeanor. He stared at the glamorous woman reflected in the rearview mirror, his tone no longer as adorable as before:
"Auntie, I was kidnapped once before. I was on a bus, and then the bus veered off course and went to a remote place, just like this now. Have you noticed, Auntie? There are fewer and fewer people around."
Yui Ishihara: "?!"
She certainly wouldn't drive herself; normally she has her own driver, but for this clandestine operation, she'll rely on autopilot.
Because she trusted this feature too much, she didn't realize she was on the wrong route until Chu Yinan reminded her.
A look of panic crossed Ishihara Yui's face. This was completely unexpected. She suddenly felt a breath on her cheek and turned her head sharply to find the little boy staring at her with wide eyes and an eerily calm expression, twisting his neck from the back seat to look at her up close.
Suddenly, the little boy reached out and pinched her heart, as if to check if her conscience would hurt. Because he pinched so hard, Ishihara Yui winced in pain.
“Auntie, I really want to see Aunt Hyun Eun act in other Ultraman dramas. I don’t want to see a bunch of dirty people playing those righteous roles. Especially someone like you who colluded with Kang Jin Sang, took away Aunt Hyun Eun’s resources, caused her to fall into obscurity and decline, and is now slandering her behind her back. How can you have the conscience to play those wonderful roles?”
Chu Yinan questioned, his grip tightening so much that it caused the conscience of this revered female star to ache.
Yui Ishihara's eyes seemed to be seeing a ghost. The little boy holding her was like a werewolf under the moonlight. His body had grown huge, and his strong body was bursting out of his Peppa Pig children's clothes. He pulled her onto the back seat.
"What the hell are you! Monster! Lowlife! Get away from me! Bodyguard, help!" Yui Ishihara lost all her composure, her wide eyes filled with fear. She didn't know what this little boy was, let alone why he knew so many inside stories.
She struggled, her high heels flying off her feet. Driven by survival instinct, the disheveled Ishihara Yui tried to open the door while biting Chu Yinan's hand with her teeth.
"What am I, you ask? It's you people who have kept us in turmoil. I'm already the most useless child, and yet you all dare to plot against me. Are you going after Marissa too? I won't allow you to do that!"
Chu Yinan was bitten and, in a fit of anger, twisted her waist and swung her arm. A large whip (referring to the suddenly appearing belt) lashed her face, leaving a red welt on her cheek. Then she stuffed the whip into Chu Yinan's mouth.

PS: This is so embarrassing! They actually updated the chapter in the other site! Damn it!
Chapter 26 Dirty Deals
The profession of idol and celebrity is truly terrifying, especially the forces that support these glamorous individuals to the forefront, which are even more frightening.
Using their idol influence to garner public votes, enticing fans to empty their wallets to buy financial products, and attracting connections for certain illegitimate organizations—nothing is more cost-effective than cultivating a celebrity.
Chu Yinan used to think that the most disgusting thing about celebrities was endorsing false advertisements and selling garbage through live streaming. Little did she know that these were actually considered relatively kind behaviors.
Beneath her, Yui Ishihara was being tormented terribly by Chu Yinan. Although the former superstar had declined, her popularity still surpassed many up-and-coming stars cultivated by outsiders, and her perfect single persona made her the dream wife of many fans.
But now her hair is a mess, her eye makeup and blush are smeared too much, and even the lipstick on her lips is uneven.
Chu Yinan threw her clothes back onto her to cover her up, without giving her a second glance.
Here I must clarify that Chu Yinan did not do anything drastic to her; he merely silenced her for a while and pulled off her clothes simply to check if she had hidden any instruments in any secluded crevices.
"This is really outrageous. Why are there small beads embedded deep in the tongue, and in other strange places as well? Are they smuggling capsules in?" Chu Yinan asked the air, at least that's how Ishihara Yui saw it.
The woman could only stare at him resentfully, not daring to move any further, because her strength was being suppressed too much, and she could only mutter words like "monster" in a low voice.
[Qilin: These little beads are for pleasing others, but they can also be used to hide things.]
"A career-oriented female celebrity who's portrayed as a staunch single person by her fans, but behind the scenes she's really got a lot going on. Although I feel a bit bad for Aunt Hyun-eun if I say this, I suddenly think that Jiang Jinxiang's decision to sideline Aunt Hyun-eun might be the most conscientious thing he's ever done." Chu Yinan sighed, truly feeling how complicated fate is.
He glanced at Yui Ishihara's "butterfly" a few more times with some disdain. The color was an unnatural pink, unlike any he had ever seen before. It looked like a color achieved through surgical treatment.
"What do we need to do now?" Chu Yinan asked, feeling that a lot of time had been wasted.
[Kirin: I've already left a small gift in the car. There's a small box in the storage compartment on the door. See? Put it on Ishihara Yui, and then tell her to do as usual.]
"No, I've already checked her throat. We've gone this far, do you think she'll cooperate?" Chu Yinan glanced at Ishihara Yui, noticing her arrogant gaze, and immediately stood up and swung his hips. "Want some whipping too?"
[Qilin: More than being humiliated, these people are worried about not getting any benefits afterward. We've already taken control of some of the Isaacs' industries that Heinrich destroyed. Just tell her that if she cooperates obediently, she'll get support later. And there's no need to worry about her making any underhanded moves; the device in the small box is an electric shock punishment device.]
Chu Yinan nodded with relief. He didn't really understand the complicated balance of interests that Sister Qilin was talking about. Anyway, he didn't need to think about it; she just told him what to do.
He found a small black box in the small storage compartment of the car door. You wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't search carefully. Ishihara Yui, who was slumped in the back seat, looked terrified.
Her car was maintained by a professional and was even customized with anti-tracking and anti-eavesdropping interference functions. She had also checked it before using the car. Yet now, the guy who turned back into a little boy brazenly took out a device from her car that she didn't know about.
How did they manage to sneak this in?!
"What is this thing? I feel like I've seen it in a comic book before?" Chu Yinan examined the equipment that Sister Qilin had given him.
A pink, oval-shaped object...?
His phone automatically connected to the small device, and the interface clearly displayed two sections: "Vibration Frequency" and "Current Intensity".
[Qilin: You need to make some adjustments. I'll monitor it. You should know how to use it from quite a few comics.]
What else could Chu Yinan say? After placing the equipment where it belonged, he looked at Ishihara Yui with disdain and disgust, showing no pity for her situation.
"If you cooperate well, you can continue to be a big star and receive financial support. If you don't cooperate, we won't have any trouble. We'll just miss an opportunity and wait for the next one. But you probably won't have another chance."
"Just follow Jiang Jinxiang's original instructions for the rest of the time. If you try anything funny, that little device you just used will make things very difficult for you."
As Qilin had predicted, after a brief ten minutes of consideration, Ishihara Yui readily agreed. Chu Yinan even suspected that this girl might be planning to verbally agree and then secretly pull a fast one.
The adult world is indeed very complicated, and the things they see are very complicated. A simple child like him can only see a buttock when looking straight ahead, a breast when looking up, and a foot when looking down.
------------
After the fight inside the car ended, everything returned to normal. Chu Yinan continued to be illegally detained, while Ishihara Yui continued to "escort" him as a human trafficker.
For celebrities like her, leaving the island always involves private jets. This private channel provided great convenience for smuggling Chu, and was the only possibility for Jiang Jinxiang to smuggle him out.
However, before leaving the island, Yui Ishihara had a fan meeting, which lasted about two hours, at a venue near the airport.
At the venue, in Yui Ishihara's private dressing room, a place usually reserved for her manager and where even the makeup artist has to wait in the dressing room, even her manager was told not to go into the dressing room today.
Chu Yinan glanced at the line outside the venue. It was a sea of people, even more extravagant than Yu Tang's autograph session. No wonder she was a big star.
He patted Yui Ishihara's abdomen. The strange sensation from the monitoring device made Yui Ishihara frown slightly, but she didn't dare to show the arrogance of a public figure and could only endure it silently.
"There are many fans outside, and there might be your secret accomplices inside, right? You have a great chance to take action, but don't try it rashly. Make a decision before you make any moves, otherwise you might get shocked by the electric shock in front of everyone... Well, I wish your fan meeting goes well."
“I understand…” Yui Ishihara gritted her teeth, looking at the little boy as if he were a demon.
After watching Yui Ishihara walk out, Chu Yinan soon heard cheers and screams from the venue, the fans' enthusiasm was exceptionally high.
He sat on the sofa, first letting Aunt Hyun-eun know he was safe, and then sent a message that left Lee Hyun-eun completely bewildered.
"The fans of the 'Beautiful Butt Villain' have defeated the 'Bad Butt'!"

P.S.: There are many people in my family, so I'll only update one chapter first. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!
Chapter 27 I will take good care of your wife and daughter
Jiang Jinxiang stood anxiously on the dock, waiting for Ishihara Yui to appear.
The outline of the Twin Islands lies across the sea. Standing on the lighthouse, you can see the bright lights and bustling prosperity on the other side. Back when the Isaacs were at their peak, they, who controlled the news industry, would always spread the word that the enemy was on the other side of the sea.
Jiang Jinxiang hadn't realized this before, only thinking it was a good place to make money. But after being driven out by the AI, he truly felt the weight of those words: How could artificial intelligence, created by humans, turn around and drive out humans?!
His previous influence in the industry on Twin Islands has become a laughing stock with a single expulsion order. After years of savings, Jiang Jinxiang now only has a little over a million yuan in general currency left in his account. He is very anxious!
And that boy named Chu Yinan was the key to his resurgence.
When that little brat came to his house, Jiang Jinxiang didn't notice anything special about Chu Yinan. He never imagined that this was a child secretly left on the artificial island by the AIs, being looked after so closely, and being adopted and cared for by that Heinrich. There must be some secret about him.
The Isaacs, having recovered their senses, were severely weakened, but they still had a chance to regain their former glory. The Gray AI was created by the Isaacs at great expense. Although the enormous amount of money spent had restricted their funding for a long time, as the best AI outside the artificial island, it remained the Isaacs' biggest trump card.
Previously, Jiang Jinxiang could only be considered an outsider, but his early Waterloo will become the prelude to his direct connection with the Isaacs and his entry into the upper circle!
But that's assuming everything goes smoothly with Yui Ishihara!
"Why isn't that wretched woman here yet!" Jiang Jinxiang was extremely anxious, every second felt like an eternity, and he was in excruciating pain.
After making several calls, Jiang Jinxiang finally got through to Ishihara Yui.
"Hey, why are you taking so long?! Where are you now?"
[Ishihara Yui: ...We're ready. When I left, the security on the artificial island suddenly tightened, causing a slight delay. Everyone's safe and sound; you're in my hands. So, where are you?]
Jiang Jinxiang knew Ishihara Yui very well. She was very scheming and opportunistic. When Ishihara Yui was still working under him, she fawned over him in every way. But after she started to gain power, her attitude reversed, and she looked at him with condescension.
If it weren't for her decline in the past two years, Jiang Jinxiang really wouldn't have been able to contact her.
Now everything is going smoothly. This woman has brought out Chu Yinan, that little boy, as if she holds the chips of victory in her hand. Her tone of voice when she speaks to him reveals undisguised disdain.
Jiang Jinxiang suppressed his temper for now and planned to humiliate her later.
"We'll let you know when you arrive, and how much longer it will take you."
[Yui Ishihara: We will arrive at the pier in about seven minutes.]
