Pei Yan's firm attitude touched Su Yao a little.
"This matter is not as simple as you think. Maybe the cause is simple, but if you want to expose the real mastermind behind it, you have to be like a detective, sifting through the details and finding evidence to get to the truth." Seeing that Su Yao didn't respond much, Pei Yan tempted her with the idea of solving a case.
"It's not as complicated as you make it sound. But it seems you know something. How about we figure it out together?" Su Yao became interested.
"Look, it all started with Yan Nuo. He knew your contract was about to expire, so he invited you to join YuYan Entertainment, and he's an artist of that company.
Next, your old company used you for hype, and the rumor of you being kept by someone came out. During this period, I noticed two forces on the internet. One was clearly from your old company to promote new artists.
The other force's remarks were quite strange. Most of them were personal attacks on you, clearly a force aiming to ruin your reputation. Let's call it Force A." Pei Yan took out a big notebook and drew out the events on it according to the timeline. "After that, you managed to stop the hype from your old company, and that hype force disappeared. But Force A didn't go away. Instead, it would occasionally post content on the internet like that of your black fans."
"Lawyer Pei, you're quite capable!" Su Yao squinted her eyes. It seemed that this top - tier lawyer, Pei Yan, was not just famous for nothing.
"Next, you were about to sign with YuYan Entertainment. On the night of your contract negotiation, the photos of me and you were exposed by Miao Yue. But Miao Yue had been in the hospital during that period. Who gave her the photos? Let's assume this person is B." Pei Yan checked Miao Yue's hospital admission records, visitation records, and discharge records yesterday and found some evidence.
"Just when Miao Yue exposed our photos, I noticed that Force A became active again. All the accounts related to Force A were activated at once, as if they were opened just to smear you." Pei Yan said.
"Aren't they just paid posters?" Su Yao thought, expecting Pei Yan to talk about the connection between A and B.
"Yes, I suspect that the person behind Force A is B. If we assume that B is someone from YuYan Entertainment, then he might have had his eye on you for a long time." Pei Yan continued his reasoning. "Then, this morning, I found the last piece of evidence, Miao Yue's interview. I carefully analyzed her interview and found a lot of misleading words and distorted facts. So it's basically certain that B was manipulating Miao Yue to spread false information."
"So, what I want to confirm with you is, do you have a very powerful opponent in the entertainment circle?" Pei Yan came to a conclusion.
"No, I've always just focused on my own acting. I've never had any disputes with others." Su Yao was surprised.
"No, this person is not from the entertainment circle. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to hide behind the scenes because he couldn't gain any benefits that way. So he should be someone in the background. But he's related to you. He wants to ruin you and then control you." Pei Yan corrected his analysis.
"So perverted? I don't know such a pervert. Unless it's..." A person flashed through Su Yao's mind, and she immediately recalled that memory.
"Yaoyao, did you meet someone during that period?" Seeing her suddenly look tense, Pei Yan knew he was on the right track.
"It's nothing. It can't be this person." Su Yao denied her own thought. He was the one who left her back then. If it was him, he wouldn't need to go through so much trouble. He could just come to her directly. But this method was quite in line with his usual perverted style.
"Yaoyao, there really is such a person, right?" Pei Yan knew what Su Yao was thinking.
"Yaoyao, he wants to destroy you and possess you. If you don't fight back this time, he'll do it again, and your life will be in chaos." Pei Yan said something he didn't want to say. But this time, he would be by Su Yao's side.
"No, this person..." Su Yao stood up and wanted to leave. Pei Yan grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
"Yaoyao, no matter who this person is, I'm here this time. You won't be hurt again." Pei Yan's tone was extremely firm.
"Yanyan, I have something to do and I have to go. Remember to send me the lawyer's letter." Su Yao was pulled into her memories. She didn't want Pei Yan to see her like this, so she wanted to escape.
Pei Yan pushed his glasses. He got Su Yao's confirmation that his reasoning was correct. There really was such a B who had appeared in Su Yao's life and brought her a lot of trouble. If he guessed right, that difficult period in Su Yao's life was caused by B.
Next, as long as he found out who B was, he could help Su Yao resolve the crisis.
Pei Yan stood up, picked up his briefcase, and headed to Miao Yue's house.
At Miao Yue's house.
"What wind has blown our great lawyer Pei to my humble abode?" Miao Yue said teasingly while playing with her nails.
"Miao Yue, has anyone contacted you recently and paid you to do something?" Pei Yan asked.
"No. How could such a good thing happen to me?" Miao Yue said unhurriedly.
"A Yue, you're a lawyer's wife. You know some laws. Making false testimony, slandering, and libeling all come with corresponding legal responsibilities. You should be clear about that."
"Hehe, what false testimony have I made? I'm just telling the truth. The truth will come out in the end."
"A Yue, who was the person who brought you flowers and visited you?" Seeing that she still wanted to deny it, Pei Yan asked.
"Hehe, would anyone visit a cast - off woman like me?"
"A Yue, if this matter goes through the judicial process, I'll go to the hospital to get the surveillance footage. Do you want to tell it in court instead of now?" Pei Yan pushed his glasses and said seriously.
"Yes, someone visited me. That person is much more kind - hearted than you."
"Who is it?"
"It's Chu Chao." Miao Yue started to get scared.
Pei Yan was speechless. Chu Chao, the bad boy in his memory. A face always with a mischievous smile appeared in Pei Yan's mind. So it was him. No wonder Su Yao reacted like that.
"A Yue, Su Yao will definitely pursue this matter to the end. You made false testimony and fabricated facts. I'm her lawyer now. You'd better be prepared." Pei Yan stood up and wanted to leave.
"Wait. What should I do so that I won't be sued?" Miao Yue remembered that there was such a serious crime.
"Sign this." Pei Yan took out a document.
"I tell you it's impossible. Don't even think about it!" Miao Yue screamed when she saw the divorce agreement.
"A Yue, think it over. And I advise you not to look for Chu Chao. He's just using you." Pei Yan turned around and left Miao Yue's house.
