Chapter 446: The Pinnacle of Life

Fang Sheng once believed he had reached the peak of his life.

But it came to an abrupt end in an instant.

He was just thinking about how to force his wife to sign that damned divorce agreement, and then how to find an excuse to trick Xiaoxin into bed. However, with the arrival of that massive fist, all his fantasies vanished into thin air.

Duan Qiran slammed a fist into Fang Sheng's face, sending him tumbling to the ground, his nose bleeding profusely.

Zheng Qian was truly angry.

If it only involved himself, he could have completely ignored it, but the photos also included Huo Muyan and Yin Yanyan! The impact on them was far beyond what Zheng Qian had imagined.

Huo Muyan was easier to deal with; after all, her fame was limited to the design and fashion circles, and not many outsiders knew about her.

But Yin Yanyan was different!

He had previously poured so much money into buying traffic that many people knew her as a rising star.

Even though she didn't have any representative screen works yet, just one movie that hadn't even been officially released had already earned her the title of a budding starlet, which showed how high people's expectations were for her.

But now! With the photos from the two paparazzi under Fang Sheng, it was all ruined!

Perhaps some might wonder, why didn't the paparazzi try to blackmail Zheng Qian privately?

Heh, precisely because they were afraid of facing this kind of consequence.

They might have the life to take the money, but not the life to spend it.

With a boss backing them, they thought that even if something really happened, they could get it smoothed over. But what they hadn't expected was that this time they had kicked an iron plate, because his name was Zheng Qian.

"You… how could you hit someone…"

Before Fang Sheng could finish his sentence, Duan Qiran struck again.

He grabbed Fang Sheng by the hair and slapped him across the face several times.

The blows made him see stars, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Zhong Xiaoyao, who was at the very back, quickly pulled out a stack of money and gave it to her, signaling her to leave quickly. Fortunately, blocked by the crowd, she hadn't really seen what was happening inside; she just smiled, said thank you, and took the money to leave.

As for whether Fang Sheng was beaten? What did that have to do with her? As long as she had money to buy the latest Apple phone, it was fine.

Liu Li's face still had red slap marks at this moment, but she gritted her teeth and stepped forward, saying nervously, "Why are you hitting people? Leave here immediately, or I'm going to call the police!"

Her hands were trembling, and she was very afraid inside.

Fang Sheng struggled to stand up and shouted excitedly:

"Time is running out, this has nothing to do with you! Sign the papers for me right now, hurry up! If you don't divorce me, do you believe I'll kill you?"

He was truly very excited now. He only had one thought in his mind: he was going to get rich.

Because he saw Zheng Qian! He must have gathered people to come here and beat him up!!

Heh, to dare to lay a hand on someone in this country, they really had no brains. As long as he called the police now, these people would be considered a criminal gang! He'd have them all swept away!

Don't want to go in? Fine, pay up! Pay until I'm satisfied!

But in this situation with money, he had to divorce Liu Li first; this money was something he risked his life for, and it couldn't be split.

"You… Fang Sheng, you…"

Liu Li's voice was trembling, and she was truly heartbroken. Even though Fang Sheng had treated her like that before, she had still held onto a glimmer of hope for their marriage. But with his words just now, she completely gave up on that idea. She was trembling all over with anger.

"Are you even human?"

Duan Qiran couldn't hold back his anger and slapped him again.

Because the force was too violent, Fang Sheng's head slammed directly into the coffee table nearby. The glass on top shattered with a boom, and he collapsed, covered in blood, but there was still a pathological smile on his face.

"Hehe… the harder you hit, the better… just wait to pay up to settle this…"

Looking at Fang Sheng, who was still being stubborn, Zheng Qian shook his head.

He glanced at the wedding photo on the wall and said calmly, "Ms. Liu, I've done some investigating; it seems he frequently commits domestic violence against you, right? We are your friends, acting in a righteous cause. We saw you being beaten by him, even facing a threat to your life, so we stepped in to help. Is that what happened?"

Liu Li looked at Fang Sheng miserably, biting her lip tightly, as if thinking about something. She happened to look up and caught sight of the slap mark on her own face in the mirror. In that instant, she understood.

She smoothed her hair and nodded slightly, "That's right, I can testify that you were helping me. He has said more than once that he wants to kill me. You… you heard it just now, he was forcing me to sign a divorce agreement, otherwise he would really… kill me."

"You… you…"

Fang Sheng tried to get up excitedly, but was kicked to the ground by Duan Qiran.

Zheng Qian lit a cigarette and said slowly, "Fang Sheng, listen to me carefully. We have already found many of your victims and are commissioning lawyers to file a joint lawsuit against you. Oh, and also, you actually demanded ten million from me; do you know this already constitutes extortion? Do you know how many years you'll be sentenced to?"

Fang Sheng clutched his chest and laughed. He said disdainfully, "Sue me? Hahaha, I've been in this business for so long, do you think I'm afraid of being sued? Do you think the reputation of these stars is more important, or suing me is more important? This kind of civil case is easy to drag out for a few months!"

"The longer the front is drawn out, the greater the impact on them! Who would really play along with you?"

He truly didn't believe any star would blow things out of proportion. After all, just as he said, the impact on these people was simply too far-reaching. Moreover, since he started, he had never actually been sued, only threatened. Anyone can talk big, right?

Zheng Qian took a deep drag of his cigarette, his expression very cold.

"What you say seems to make some sense, but what about extortion? This already involves criminal charges, Fang Sheng. You don't seem to have realized the seriousness of the problem, hmm… I guess you'll know very soon."

After speaking, he didn't seem to be in a hurry. He leaned back on the sofa and chatted with Duan Qiran and the others.

"I… I'd better leave first. Fang Sheng, rest assured, I've already signed the contract."

Liu Li took a deep breath and handed over the agreement.

Fang Sheng was incredibly excited, but suddenly his phone rang urgently.

[It's bad, Boss, someone from the authorities just came looking for you!]

[And there's also a joint lawsuit initiated by many stars; the lawyer's letters have already been sent, I'm sending you photos! They might be on their way to your house right now, you…]

Before the employee could finish, Fang Sheng immediately opened WeChat. He discovered it was indeed a lawyer's letter!

But… the so-called stars on it were basically all C-list or D-list celebrities; there wasn't a single true A-lister!

That's right! C-list and D-list stars wouldn't be afraid of the impact on their reputations!

The most critical thing was that the law firm shown on the lawyer's letter was the famous [Lawyer Wang Zhao Law Firm]. Although he wasn't in the legal field, he had heard of this firm and had seen in the news that they had won many cases!

How could they… afford to have Lawyer Wang Zhao personally handle it?

And… it seemed someone from the authorities came just a moment ago… Was it really this young man in front of him who reported the extortion?

Suddenly, Fang Sheng's heart went cold.
