Chapter 873 The Instigator

Meng Ping felt a heaviness in his heart, though he was unclear about who this person was. He had lived long enough to recognize this person’s background was not simple. His very presence made others feel unworthy, unable to raise their heads.

Therefore, Meng Ping naturally followed his orders. He had survived in the entertainment industry for so long because he knew whom not to provoke and stayed away from them.

Before long, the staff gathered on the open ground of the set, forming a dense crowd of over a hundred people.

Suddenly called out, everyone felt uneasy and started whispering, wondering what had happened.

Meng Ping shouted loudly, “Everyone, quiet down, quiet.”

Meng Ping had great authority in the crew, so naturally, everyone listened and quickly fell silent, with no one speaking.

“Young Master Mo, Young Master Mo, would you like to take a look?” Meng Ping glanced at Bo Yimo.

Bo Yimo stepped forward a few steps, scanned the people present, and spoke in a cold voice that reached their ears, “Which one is Guo Yifan?”

Guo Yifan was the deputy director in their crew.

A pudgy, wealthy-looking, and amiable person stepped out, “What do you want with me?”

“You certainly have a way with things.” Bo Yimo chuckled lightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes, giving off an inexplicable icy chill, “Tie him up.”

From somewhere, several men in black appeared and swiftly tied Guo Yifan up.

Guo Yifan had not anticipated this, and he yelled out, “What are you doing? Tying me up for no reason! I’ll go to the police to report you! Let go of me, quickly!”

He looked cheerful, but now angry, appearing more comical without any semblance of dignity.

“Hit him.” Bo Yimo spoke softly.

A group of men in black stepped forward, punching and kicking without holding back.

In the now quiet crew, only the sounds of punches and kicks could be heard. The others were bewildered, wondering what was going on. They had suddenly tied up their deputy director, were they in trouble?

Guo Yifan had never suffered like this before, and he howled in pain, his entire body aching terribly.

Meng Ping pieced it together, no one would just beat someone up like that for no reason. Combined with what Tong Yan said earlier, it was clear.

This person was here for revenge.

Was this dirty business something Guo Yifan did?

No escape now; normally, he had a bit of authority.

Meng Ping had kept him as the deputy director because of his talent, to provide guidance. He pretended not to see the small schemes, never expecting Guo Yifan to harbor such intent, likely aiming for a higher position.

Thinking of this, Meng Ping couldn’t stand it anymore and rushed over to kick him a few times, “Yifan, you’re really something, tricking crew members into drinking with you, who taught you this!”

Guo Yifan knew immediately his secrets were exposed and didn’t bother to speak up for himself.

He was originally looking out for his future, unwilling to remain deputy director forever, needing to build connections and resources. So occasionally, he used that trick to introduce female stars to some influential people. It had never been an issue; some stars even thanked him later. Who knew he’d hit a brick wall this time?

His face was bruised and swollen from the beating by the men in black, looking funny and pitiful like a pig’s head.

After Meng Ping finished hitting him, he then thought about how Young Master Mo had immediately identified the culprit, so why did he gather everyone?

Since he had questions, he asked directly.
