The mind-reading fake heiress changes her fate by eating melons.

Chapter 39 A Two-Pronged Approach Leads to Catching One Sheep

The audience erupted in another uproar.

They thought today was at most a moral drama where Qin Wanlan, as the original wife, exposed Qi Song's infidelity. To be honest, many people only had a gossipy, spectator mentality towards this kind of drama. As long as the same fire didn't burn them, they didn't think Qi Song had really committed any heinous crime. After all, not everyone in the audience was innocent; there were also people like Qi Song who had cheated or had affairs.

Although these people dared not say it outright, their thoughts were actually the same as Qi Song's initial statement. They felt that Qin Wanlan had to make such a scene. If she really found it so unacceptable, why not just get a divorce? It was too ruthless to release her husband's sex tape in front of so many people in the industry.

This kind of person is definitely putting themselves in Qi Song's shoes and feeling guilty, which is why they have such outrageous ideas. Although other people's gossip is very exciting, the thought that they might also face this situation if they had the same behavior as Qi Song makes them feel uneasy, so they can only blame Qin Wanlan in their hearts.

But after Qi Song said those words, the nature of the matter changed completely. Qi Song not only cheated on his wife, but he even wanted to kill her!

"Has Qi Song gone mad? Is he even human?"

"He usually looks so respectable, but he's actually so ruthless inside."

"Everyone in the entertainment industry knows how good Teacher Qin is to him. He's truly blessed but doesn't realize it."

"It's not just that he doesn't know how lucky he is, it's downright ingratitude. Does he think he could make one movie after another without Teacher Qin's help?"

"What deep-seated hatred or grudge could cause someone to act like this?"

“He really thinks he’s someone important just because we respectfully call him Director Qi.”

"Luckily, Teacher Qin took photos as evidence, otherwise who would have thought Qi Song was this kind of person!"

"Teacher Qin did a good job. This kind of person should be exposed. Teacher Qin even showed mercy by blurring his face. If you ask me, why give them any face when they are so shameless?"

Whispers filled the air as many people frantically typed, constantly reporting the situation to their superiors so they could decide whether to release this inside scoop. A few bolder individuals had already posted videos and details of the event online. If all goes well, the entire story will be circulating online before the press conference even ends.

At this moment, Qi Song, who was pinned to the ground, had completely given up struggling. His face was pale, and he closed his eyes in despair.

He knew that from the moment those words were uttered, he was completely finished.

Even though Qi Song didn't want to watch or listen, the video on the big screen still hadn't ended.

Upon hearing Qi Song's words, Wang Qingqing sat up abruptly, a look of horror on her face. "What did you say? Are you crazy?"

Qi Song also sat up and hugged Wang Qingqing again, gently persuading her, "When you found out that Qin Wanlan was interested in me, you advised me to be with her, wasn't it so that we could make better use of her money? What, are you scared now?"

“What I meant back then was that you should use her money and resources to build your career for a few years, and then divorce her once you’ve made enough money. That way, you could get half of the marital property,” Wang Qingqing said, still somewhat hesitant. “Can’t we just get a divorce directly? Murder is too risky. I don’t want to risk my life.”

"Can the money from a divorce settlement compare to an inheritance?" Qi Song slowly spoke, his words sending chills down one's spine. "As long as Qin Wanlan dies, I can inherit her estate, which includes shares in the Qin family business. Do you know how much that's worth?"

"With this money, we can live freely in any country in the world. I don't want to live this kind of life where I'm controlled by others anymore. Don't you want to?"

Seeing that Wang Qingqing seemed somewhat hesitant, Qi Song continued:

"As for the risks, of course there are, but as long as we don't act domestically, we can be much safer. As long as we lure Qin Wanlan out under the pretense of traveling abroad, whether we stage an accident or hire someone to kill her, they won't suspect us. I don't believe the Qin family's reach can extend that far."

The video ends abruptly there.

The lights in the hall came back on, and everyone could finally see the scene in front of them. They all craned their necks to look forward, and those sitting in the back rows even stood up and kept pressing the shutter button, pointing their cameras at the front row of their seats.

Qi Song was pinned to the ground by two burly men and couldn't move. Sun Youshao stood there stiffly, staring at him with a look of pain and anger on his face. In just one short video, his wife and friend's true colors had been laid bare before him. Only now did he realize that he had never really known these two people.

Meanwhile, the other victim, Qin Wanlan, slowly got up. She didn't give Qi Song a second glance, but instead went up on stage, picked up the microphone, and bowed to the audience.

"There was a slight mishap at today's press conference, and the rest of the program may not be able to proceed. I am truly sorry for the fright and disruption to our work caused to our colleagues and media friends. However, I assure all the creators that today's events will not affect the film's subsequent release, and all your efforts in making this film will not be in vain."

I have many things to attend to today and cannot apologize to everyone individually. My studio will apologize on my behalf to every guest present later. That concludes today's press conference. Please feel free to leave if you wish.

Everyone understood Qin Wanlan's unspoken meaning: those who wanted to leave could do so freely, but those who didn't want to leave could stay as well.

No one in the audience moved. How many times in a lifetime do people have the chance to witness such a juicy juicy story live? Who would want to miss it? This story is bound to be a breaking news story, and others might not even get to see it.

They thought to themselves that there was no need for any apology. This press conference was absolutely unprecedented. None of the movies Qi Song directed were watchable, but holding a movie press conference was going to go down in history. They wondered if it fulfilled his dream of achieving fame and success.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted at the entrance of the hall, with a shrill voice screaming, "Let me go! What right do you have to arrest me?"

Everyone looked towards the entrance and saw two burly men dressed as bodyguards, each supporting a woman on one side, walking towards the front of the hall.

"It's Wang Qingqing!" someone shouted excitedly. They had just been regretting that the other party involved wasn't there, but now all the main characters had arrived.

[It turns out that the people backstage also knew what had happened. Wang Qingqing could only hide in the dressing room, trying to sneak away while everyone's attention was drawn to this, but she was caught red-handed by the people that Sister Wanlan had arranged to guard the exit.]

What good would it do for her to run away now? It's just a matter of losing face now and losing face later. She might as well hide for a while longer, right?

[So she was planning to pick up her son and then abscond with the money? Good heavens, Wang Qingqing is no pushover either. Qi Song swindled money from Sister Wanlan's personal pocket, and Wang Qingqing embezzled money from Sister Wanlan's studio—a two-pronged approach to fleece them!]

[Oh no, they've gone beyond simply fleecing people; they're now trying to fleece them.]
