The Film Emperor’s Daily Live Cooking Broadcast-Chapter 75 - Absolute Resolution
Ch75 – Absolute Resolution
Cai Xin never thought that things would turn out like this.
She deliberately notified so many reporters and she even wore that mini-camcorder because she wanted to compel Ruan Tang to “forgive” her because of the strong moral pressure. But now, her act was completely ruined! These reporters and the miniature camera recorded her disgraceful situation instead!
When she saw that all these people had their cameras focused on her, all the blood rushed to her head. She charged at them and began fight them with everything that she’s got!
It’s over! She’s done for!
These reporters weren’t stupid. Cai Xin had created such an unsightly commotion. Even if they had taken some kickback from Cai Xin, they had no obligation to make life difficult for the empire’s esteemed marshal for a woman who had neither money nor power. Besides, who was to say what news was to be reported or not reported? For them, so long as long as the content was explosive, it was all the same to them.
Now, Cai Xin had gone crazy. They were no longer going to stay here with her. In any case, they’ve already recorded everything that needed to be recorded. So, they simply got in their cars and left, leaving Cai Xin to eat their dust.
In their cars, the reporters were already itching to compile their article, eager to grab the chance to be the first to release the news. So before half an hour had passed, the news of Cai Xin causing a lot of trouble in the hospital, had already spread on the Star Network.
“@ Empire’s Gossip King v: Snake mother! No wonder @ Ruan Tang v wants to legally sever their mother-child relationship. Just how shameless can you get? [Video] [Picture] [Picture]”
[LB: How can there be such a shameful and vicious woman in this world?!! At first I thought she was really going to apologize, but it was just an act!]
[Yan Ranran: Yeah! She even wore a miniature camera! Oh, how naïve! How could his petty trick fool our marshal?]
[Jin Chanchan’s Meatball: She even laid her hand on such a small child! Look how she scared the little brother! His little face is all white, I feel so bad for him!]
Two days later, Ruan Tang’s case against Cai Xin officially opened in court.
Cai Xin originally wanted to escape like Wei Zhuo did, by faking some illness. But He Yun Chen already had her guarded. He had applied to the court for surveillance on Cai Xin. Although these surveillance personnel would not restrict her actions, they could, to some extent, ensure her safety. Yet now, they’ve already displayed their position.
The previous Wei Zhuo really did make some very painful decisions, but he also really fainted. He could use this opportunity to keep himself in an ill state. But how could Cai Xin acquire something like that for herself? She just wanted to drag things on, wait for Ruan Tang to come back and force him to forgive her and withdraw the charges. She wasn’t willing to harm herself and she was even still indulging in the pleasures of life.
As a result, she did not expect that when her unrealistic dreams came crashing down, she wanted to mend the fold after the sheep was lost! Now when she tried to inflict upon herself some sickness or injury, those “guardians” were like demons, so she can do nothing at all!
Demon! They’re all demons!
As though she had fallen into an ice cave, she collapsed on the hotel bed, muddle-headed and ignorant. Afterwards, she was forcefully dragged to the court by the bailiff.
There were three accusations leveled against her. The first was insulting and slandering Ruan Tang’s reputation and causing false rumors; the second was mistreatment and child abuse of a child under her guardianship; the third was a petition to sever all relationship with her.
Zhou Jing deserved to be the best gold medal lawyer in the empire. All of the evidence was clearly listed. From the beginning, Cai Xin’s lawyer had no way to parry against it. Facing Zhou Jing’s step-by-step pressure, Cai Xin’s lawyer couldn’t even make a decent counterattack.
According to Article 246, Paragraph 2 of the Blue Star Empire Criminal Law, the crimes of insult and libel, if the circumstances were serious, shall be punished with imprisonment of not more than three years, detention, mandatory supervision or deprivation of political rights.
Listening to the judge’s verdict, Cai Xin’s face suddenly turned ashen.
She looked around slowly and saw Ruan Tang. A look of hatred flashed in her eyes, but Ruan Tang didn’t even spare her a glance. Taking a deep breath, she slowly raised her hand. “I want to make a report.”
The corner of her mouth gave a little smile, “I was instructed by people to do this. Those who instructed me were Wei Zhuo and Ye Shao.”
“Ye Shao?”
“I don’t know what his name is. People around him call him that, and Wei Zhuo is also his subordinate.” Cai Xin said, “Shouldn’t you go and catch them?”
Ruan Tang did not expect that in this case, in addition to Cai Xin and Wei Zhuo, there was actually a behind-the-scenes man.
Ye Shao? He searched his memory and couldn’t remember when he had offended such a person.
Due to the additional defendants, the trial had to be suspended and two other suspects would also be arrested and brought to trial. But even so, Cai Xin could not escape the two other charges.
When He Yun Yi returned, he brought Ruan Tang’s two neighbors from the 19th planet to serve as witnesses in court. In addition, there was also a certificate issued by the hospital and a video recorded by the medical staff, telling them that when Ruan Yu had been sent to the hospital ten years ago, he had multiple soft tissue contusions and all sorts of large and small skin injuries. It could be said that Cai Xin’s abuse of Ruan Yu was already an irrefutable fact and could not be quibbled with.
Although there had been no specific law regarding child abuse cases during his previous life, in the future Interstellar word, this crime had long ago been included in criminal law, civil law and the law for the protection of minors — it was now one of their very basic laws.
Those who were proved to be guilty of child abuse would be sentenced to no less than three and no more than five years in prison.
As for the final matter, which was the legal severance of their relationship, because of the previous case of child abuse and because Cai Xin was sentenced to jail, the judge made a decision almost instantaneously. Ruan Tang and Cai Xin’s guardianship relationship with Ruan Tang was severed and Ruan Yu, being a minor, had his custody transferred to Ruan Tang.
The trials for these three cases took only half a day to settle. On the one hand, it was because the evidence was solid, and the level of the lawyers on the two sides was too very different, but on the other hand, it was also because of the people sitting in the gallery.
The Empire’s Supreme Commander, the Empire’s Marshal, President of the Academy of Sciences, President of the Chefs Association, the head of Blue Whale Entertainment – Ran Jing, and various other powers, even the queen was in attendance. They were all looking at Ruan Tang with such fondness.
The judge anxiously declared the court closed and walked out the back. It was only then that he wiped away the cold sweat from his neck
These were Ruan Tang’s friends and fans …?
He has been in the court for so long, and this is the first time that he has seen such a powerful gallery. This was definitely something completely unprecedented. Aside from Ruan Tang, who else could have such a large network of people behind him?
Although Ruan Tang didn’t expect it himself, he unexpectedly had so many fans in high places…
Within two days, Wei Zhuo’s case also progressed. Wei Zhuo suddenly informed the court that his illness had been cured and demanded an immediate trial. This case has been delayed for a long time, and now it was directly merged with Cai Xin’s case, and the trial was to be held on the same day.
At first, everyone thought that they were in for a long and bitter struggle. No one could have imagined that Wei Zhuo would directly confessed to everything. But he also claimed that he had only been instructed to do these things and that he had proof of it.
This person was who Cai Xin called as “Ye Shao”.
Unlike a stupid person like Cai Xin, Wei Zhuo is a careful and distrustful person. Moreover, he originally had a grudge against Ye Shao. Not only did he record their communications, but he also had the money transfer records and did some research on his own.
The collusion between Wei Zhuo and Ye Shao had a long history. One was a paparazzi and the other was a star. They seemed to be on opposites sides, but few people knew that Wei Zhuo had received funding from the Ye family when he was in college. It was also because of this connection that they agreed to work together.
Ye Shao provided Wei Zhuo with the whereabouts and information of the stars who go partying with him, and Wei Zhuo would dug out the evidence and then exposed it. One wanted to eradicate dissidents, and the other wanted to expand his exposure. Before encountering Ruan Tang, although they had clashes from time to time, overall, their cooperation was still quite harmonious.
But, like this, at most, there would just be one more added onto the list of slander and defamation charges. So long as Ye Shao had some ability, he could have himself easily be released on bail.
But Wei Zhuo later added, “Besides that, I would like to report Ye Yinian committed intentional injury.” He turned to Ruan Tang and said: “The plaintiff Ruan Tang had been injured by a mech explosion on set five years ago. He fell in a deep coma for five years. This was previously considered an accident, but … what if the explosion of the prop was not an accident, but was sabotaged?”
Ye Yinian was Ye Shao.
He was the illegitimate child of real estate tycoon Ye Jian’an. But, after all, illegitimate children were best kept under table. Ye Jian’an’s wife’s family was also quite prominent. It was impossible for Ye Jian’an to divorce her. In addition, Interstellar law stipulated that illegitimate children had no inheritance rights. It was completely impossible for Ye Yinian to enter the Ye family legally and aboveboard.
But Ye Jian’an was very fond of this illegitimate child, almost to the point of meeting his every demand. The development of the entertainment industry has been very good over the years. Ye Yinian wanted to mix in with the entertainment industry, so Ye Jian’an desperately invested in his son, letting him directly play male lead roles, giving him a very favorable starting point.
Ye Yinian’s face did look pretty good, and he had passable acting ability, so he soon became famous after his debut.
It’s just that his acting skills, although it was enough to get him a large fanbase, it wasn’t enough to get the acknowledgement of industry insiders. If there was no one to compare to, it would have been fine, but in the same period, there was the good-looking and immensely talented Ruan Tang. Lord knows how many times they had been compared to each other by the fans and the media, and every time he would end up being criticized. This made Young Master Ye, who had been doted on since he was a child, extremely upset.
Because the two had just debuted, neither of them had yet won an award. Therefore, he exerted all his efforts and did his best in order to win an award to prove himself. Just then, director Zhang Wenshan’s movie entered his sights.
Zhang Wenshan was the most prestigious director of the Blue Star Empire. Every movie he directed was a box office hit. He had won so many award, his hands had gone limp with exhaustion. However, although he had great vision, he still needed investors. Because Ye Jian’an invested tens of millions, he agreed to let Ye Yinian’s take a screen test, but he also invited some of his more promising actors to audition. Among them was Ruan Tang, who had worked with him before and had impressed him with his earnest and hardworking attitude.
Ye Jianan naturally aimed for the male lead, but Zhang Wenshan chose Ruan Tang after watching their screen test! Ye Jian’an could only play the role of male no. 3 who died an untimely death!
It was with this movie that Ruan Tang won the film emperor award in one fell swoop.
Since then, no one has compared the two of them. Because in their eyes, Ye Yinian and Ruan Tang were no longer equals!
How could Ye Yinian not bear a grudge? If it weren’t for Ruan Tang snatching away his chance, this role would definitely have been his! The distinction of film emperor and the golden halo should have been his!
At that time, he bought a lot of water armies to criticize Ruan Tang without restraint. But Ruan Tang was already a new film emperor at this time, his status and fame were incomparable. So, in any case, this move of Ye Yinian’s had no effect none whatsoever on the rise of Ruan Tang’s career. Ye Yinian could only gnash his teeth and swallow his indignation. Seeing news of Ruan Tang every day, the jealousy and unwillingness in his heart almost crushed him!
They were enemies on a narrow road. Later, the two actually met in a drama. The director had to basically beg to have Ruan Tang take on the main role while he had to fight tooth and nail to get the 2nd male lead! Why!
He bribed someone from the props department, and tampered with the mech that Ruan Tang would use. He wanted to teach him a lesson. He did not expect that Ruan Tang would fall into a coma. He was both afraid and very happy. After paying the man his hush money, he moved to another remote planet, and when he saw that no one had found out his tampering, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That mech was an abandoned second hand mech. It had various sorts of problems to start with, so it was impossible to determine whether the incident was an accident or man-made. They could only leave the matter unsettled. His hatred had been recompensed, and he really did feel some guilt about what happened. After that, Ye Yinian stopped for a while and did not pay attention to the follow-up of the incident.
Unexpectedly, after five years, Ruan Tang reappeared in public as a food anchor, and he had obtained his four-star chef qualification in such a domineering manner. Ye Yinian even thought that this food anchor was very good and wanted to recruit him to be his private chef. But after a subsequent investigation, this Ruan Tang turned out to be that “thief” Ruan Tang!
Today, whether in terms of number of fans or popularity, Ruan Tang was much, much more successful that he was before. Ye Yinian didn’t know about Ruan Tang’s memory loss. He just thought he was making a comeback and wanted to get revenge on him. He was so frightened that he was in a constant state of anxiety, while Ruan Tang hadn’t yet made his move, Ye Yinian contacted Wei Zhuo. He wanted to suppress Ruan Tang, but he failed at every turn.
He didn’t expect that there would be such large forces backing up Ruan Tang. This, on the contrary, made Ye Yinian even more panic and guilty, afraid of being found out. The idea of completely suppressing Ruan Tang became stronger in his mind.
Otherwise … should he just get rid of him once and for all?
He thought about it, took out the communicator, and dialed a number he’d never used before, “Hey, Uncle …” But before he continued to say more, a group of policemen had rushed into the Ye Manor. They quickly pressed him down against the ground.
“You’re under arrest.”
