"That's nonsense," Lai Yuan said as he looked at Mu Lingyun with a cold laugh. "You were always poor in acting and character. Now that Han Ming has seen your true nature, he no longer supports you. Do you think he'll listen to your nonsense? Right, Han Ming?"
Lai Yuan simply wanted Han Ming to crush Mu Lingyun's fantasies in person; he wanted to see Mu Lingyun in agony.
He did not know that Mu Lingyun had long recognized Han Ming's true face and had given up any hope of his support.
Han Ming frowned and looked at Mu Lingyun displeasedly. Their relationship had already soured, so what was Mu Lingyun trying to do now?
"Mu Lingyun, I've already made it very clear to you. Without evidence, stop spouting nonsense and get out," Han Ming scolded, then made a call to security.
Seeing this, both Lai Yuan and Song Jiao gloatingly watched Mu Lingyun.
Mu Lingyun smiled broadly, "Since Han Ming wants evidence, why not check out my Weibo?"
Han Ming heard her but remained unmoved.
However, Song Jiao couldn't stay put. She immediately opened Weibo on her phone and went to Mu Lingyun's page.
She played an audio recording aloud.
"Director Lai, what do you need me for?"
"Song Jiao, I have a proposal for a collaboration that would benefit both you and me," he replied.
"Tomorrow, I'll have you and Mu Lingyun play the scene where the female lead gets slapped. Make sure to slap her hard enough so she can't manage her expression. I'll call for 10 retakes, so you can hit her 10 times. In the end, I'll use her poor acting as a reason to kick her out of the cast. Once she's gone, wouldn't the lead role become available to you?"
The audio was crystal clear, capturing even the sound of breathing.
Upon hearing this, both Song Jiao and Lai Yuan's faces turned pale.
Mu Lingyun actually had such a recording, and she had uploaded it online.
Song Jiao opened the comments and saw that public opinion had turned.
Many people were cursing her and the director offensively.
Hearing this recording, Han Ming looked at Mu Lingyun; he hadn't expected her to hold back such a move.
Yet, he decided not to intervene in this matter.
"These recordings are a matter amongst the three of you, and Shengshi Entertainment will not intervene. Handle it yourselves. Please leave," Han Ming stated.
"Don't be in such a rush," Mu Lingyun said with a smile brimming with meaning. "I have two more recordings here. Wouldn't you like to listen, Han Ming?"
Upon hearing this, Han Ming's expression froze.
Song Jiao and Lai Yuan also anxiously looked at Mu Lingyun.
Mu Lingyun didn't delay and played both recordings for the three of them to hear.
After hearing these two recordings, both Song Jiao and Lai Yuan looked even more upset, and even Han Ming's expression changed.
"The recordings can't serve as evidence," Han Ming forced himself to calm down and said with feigned composure.
Mu Lingyun scoffed, "I know, otherwise you would have already received a court summons by now. Although the recordings cannot be used as evidence, they can tell the public the truth. In an hour, if I don't send a message to stop my friend, she will expose both recordings online. Then we'll see if it affects Shengshi Entertainment or maybe even Shengshi Group's stock value, won't we?"
"What do you want?" Han Ming asked, not expecting Mu Lingyun to have such recordings.
"It's simple, two demands: first, Lai Yuan and Song Jiao must record a public apology; second, terminate the contract," Mu Lingyun articulated each word clearly.
