Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS
Tong Fei disappeared the very next day.
Jiang Xuxu quickly asked around about it before some gossip before discreetly sharing the gossip with her friends.
“I heard from Tong Fei’s roommate that she was picked up by the Tong family in the middle of the night. She won’t be returning in the future.”
Upon hearing that, Tong Luo was surprised and muttered, “There’s only one possibility; something happened to the Tong family.”
The Tong family was the source of Tong Fei’s ego. With how relentless and stubborn Tong Fei was, there was no way she would leave before she got what she wanted.
Just then, Tan Song and Jiang Yiran walked over to them.
Upon hearing Tong Luo’s comment, Jiang Yiran clicked his tongue and remarked, “Didn’t you hear? Tong Realty’s latest project has been found to have several severe safety flaws. There are even reports from former employees stating that someone died during the construction process.”
Despite the Tong family’s prominence in the capital’s real estate industry, they still could not evade scrutiny from the authorities.
It was no surprise that the Tong Family hastily took Tong Fei away. The investigation meant Tong Fei’s father would be spending decades in prison.
There was a distant look in Tong Luo’s eyes as she muttered, “They’ve brought this on themselves…”
She had not expected the Tong family’s downfall to come out of nowhere.
For the past 8 years, she had constantly prayed for their downfall.
However, now that it finally happened, her hatred was gone.
Jiang Xuxu immediately pulled Jiang Yiran closer to learn more about it.
Qi Wu quietly sat on the side as she listened to their conversation. Her eyes were neither sad nor joyful with only a lonely calm look in them.
Over the years, the Tong family had enjoyed a life of luxury. They had to pay the price eventually.
Everyone was now talking about the Tong family scandal.
It was worth noting that the Tong family had been expanding its empire for years, absorbing numerous real estate companies in the city. No one had expected their rapid rise or their sudden fall.
The day after the Tong family came under investigation, Tong Luo submitted a report to the government about her status as the daughter of a military veteran.
In the report, Tong Luo revealed her true identity.
Over 20 years ago, Tong Luo’s actual father and Tong Fei’s father had served in the same military unit and became as close as brothers.
During a mission, Tong Luo’s father sacrificed himself to save Tong Fei’s father. Before his death, he had implored Tong Fei’s father to care for his wife and child, but Tong Fei’s father had not fulfilled his promise.
Then, Tong Fei fell seriously ill as a baby with a fever that just would not die down and kept sapping away at her strength.
The Tong family sought a way to send her to the countryside for her health. They also needed a girl born on the same day as Tong Fei as part of the superstitious ritual to take on Tong Fei’s bad luck.
Tong Fei and Tong Luo just so happened to be born on the very same day with Tong Fei being older by a few hours.
Tong Fei’s father came up with the idea to use Tong Luo.
Through deception and manipulation, he convinced Tong Luo’s mother to entrust Tong Luo to him in hopes of giving her a better life.
At 10 years old, Tong Fei returned to the city.
Afraid that everything would be exposed, Tong Fei’s father went to great lengths to forge Tong Luo’s identity as his illegitimate daughter. He also slandered her and attempted to ruin her.
Tong Luo had started filling in this report ever since her mother’s death.
Now, it would finally be submitted.
The entire Tong family was complicit in this crime. Tong Luo wanted the Tong family imprisoned for the rest of their lives.
Due to her status as the child of a military veteran killed on duty, the government treated the case with great importance and immediately started investigating and interrogating the Tong family.
Tong Luo’s actions inadvertently prevented the Tong family from spiriting Tong Fei away.
Thus, everyone in the Tong family was arrested.
Through intense interrogation, it was revealed that Tong Luo was telling the truth.
To clear her name and ensure justice was served, the Tong family trial was open to the public.
Not a single member of the Tong Family, including Tong Fei, managed to dodge the consequences of their actions.
Tong Luo finally received closure for her status as an illegitimate daughter and the injustices she had to suffer.
However, that would happen in the future.
When Qi Wu entered the contestants’ break room, almost everyone turned to stare at her.
Although her scandal had only been viral for a little over three hours, many contestants had been actively monitoring the internet.
Qi Wu was the first person to make Tong Fei suffer. Naturally, all the contestants were curious about her.
Amid the scrutiny, Qi Wu calmly took a seat next to Tong Luo, Jiang Xuxu, and the others.
Meanwhile, Hu Mofei, who had been working tirelessly for days, had just returned to the control room for a brief respite.
To his dismay, he realized that he had missed numerous updates about Qi Wu during his long work session.
The look on his face was one of extreme frustration and looked even uglier than if he had cried.
Song Qi could not bear to see Hu Mofei like this and scolded him, “Don’t act so pitiful!”
That only worsened Hu Mofei’s mood.
Rolling her eyes, Qu Man remarked, “Don’t provoke him. You just don’t get how he feels. He’s a fan, after all.’
“It’s not good for him to be like this either…’
Song Qi could not help but mutter.
At that moment, Hu Mofei suddenly looked up and exclaimed, “If you hadn’t forced so much work on me, I wouldn’t be like this!”
Song Qi awkwardly cleared his throat.
Feeling guilty, Song Qi decided to make a strategic retreat, saying, “The filming is about to start. I’ll go find Tang Liuhua and Shen Xi.”
As Song Qi walked out of the control room, Hu Mofei could not help but loudly shout, “Song, you’re truly evil!”
Song Qi quickened his pace and promptly left the room.
He was out of breath when he found Tang Liuhua and Shen Xi. Tang Liuhua could not help asking, “What’s wrong with you? You look guilty.”
It was clear that their many years of friendship had allowed Tang Liuhua to instantly deduce what was going on.
However, Song Qi was in no mood to admit to his guilt. He cleared his throat and replied, “It’s nothing. Let’s go inside.”
As special effects were set off, the three mentors appeared on the semi-circular stage as a hundred contestants stood off-stage. “I’m sure everyone has been eagerly anticipating this day.”
Song Qi started with a brief introduction.
Right after that, three sound effects were played as the three doors behind the mentors swung open.
The doors were labeled “Musician,” “Actor,” and “Idol”.
“We’ll be waiting for you behind the doors. ‘
Song Qi, Shen Xi, and Tang Liuhua exchanged glances before proceeding through their respective doors.
The stadium was filled with exhilarating music. Many contestants were eager to choose their door.
However, according to the rules, the selection order was based on the contestants’ rankings.
The name of the first contestant to choose a category appeared on the screen—
Everyone watched as Qi Wu calmly stood up and made her way to the door labeled “Actor.”
The contestants behind her frantically discuss this turn of events.
Song Qi had been watching through the surveillance cameras as Qi Wu chose his door. He could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction.. “You didn’t want to attend my class before, but you still chose me!”
