The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof-Chapter 1029 - 1026 Dark Organization
Chapter 1029: Chapter 1026 Dark Organization
"No need, I’m staying home tonight, and grandma will see me first thing tomorrow morning." Qiao Xiaren knew the elderly couldn’t handle too much, especially since she was nearly seventy years old.
"Only your Uncle is so careless." Nie Lin couldn’t help teasing him, "The kitchen has prepared some food for late night snacks; it’s perfect for everyone to eat and talk."
The late-night snack arrived quickly—it was a simple meal of dumplings.
Qiao Lin understood his niece well; she usually didn’t like fanciful but insubstantial dishes for snacks, so he specifically asked the chef to make dumplings.
"Last time in M Country, did you run into some troublemakers from H Country?" Qiao Lin asked seemingly casually.
Qiao Xiaren hadn’t expected this news to have reached her family and felt the need to explain: "Indeed, an H Country agent harassed my assistant in M Country. Their entertainment industry is always messy, and to them, celebrities are merely toys; he probably thought it was the same in S Country."
So, he was asking for it!
"Limo and I looked into the agent’s background; he seems to come from a pretty significant place," Qiao Lin thought for a moment then decided to tell her in advance, "This agent controls many artists, including H Country’s well-known singer Jin Xiumei, and even artists from other countries. I’ve heard from underworld sources that a certain power controls internationally famous female stars, and they’ve even reached into Hollywood."
Yeqian took a sharp breath; he had also heard about these things. Being in the industry for so long, it was impossible not to be aware of some of these insights.
But he had always been well protected by his agent and so never got directly involved.
Nie Lin, as the sheltered daughter of a prominent family, paid even less attention to entertainment news, and couldn’t help worrying for Yeqian and Qiao Xiaren when she heard this: "How can there be such a ruthless organization? I thought female celebrities who made it big were safe from such things; I didn’t realize they became a target for these criminals!"
"The human world can be vile."
This control is merely for exploiting these female stars for money—first getting a hold of their weaknesses, then threatening and controlling them, and knowing everything about their families.
Private transactions become disgusting, not only withholding these controlled artists’ remunerations but also making them continually host various men.
"He has such a deep background?" This puzzled Qiao Xiaren a bit, "Was that man targeting me from the beginning? I’ve heard that internationally there’s an exchange that specifically rents out popular female stars for dining and sleeping among many other services; could it be them?"
She had casually heard about it from Shangguan Ye and Shi Ruo—there was a high-profile female star from S Country, a wealthy man paid a whopping seventy million just to dine with her, no sleeping involved. However, these were just rumors, and nobody knows if it actually happened.
Still, this incident had been widely discussed outside of the fan circles as a scandal.
There’s a saying that goes, ’Appearances can be deceiving.’ Never would have thought that such a sleazy-looking man could have such powerful capabilities.
"Quite possibly." Si Limo served her a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her, "Don’t worry, with us here, no matter how powerful the forces behind him are, they can’t touch you."
"If I had known this sleazy man had such intentions, I wouldn’t have let him leave alive," Qiao Xiaren responded, suddenly feeling she had been too lenient before.
Yeqian nodded, "This guy is rather lucky; if he had really faced off with my sister, I can already imagine his rueful plight."
