"There won’t be any malicious editing," Ning Yao said with a smile. "The Director reviews all the show’s content. She despises malicious editing more than anything."

Her agent thought for a moment and agreed. "You’re right. Our Director is a rare find. Think about how everyone in the industry kisses up to the powerful and tramples on the weak. But she’s not like that. It seems like everyone is the same in her eyes."

"By the way, didn’t the Director propose a new show? Has the cast been decided?" The agent was curious, especially about Tan You’s new project. Ning Yao was the most outstanding talent she managed, so of course, she wanted Ning Yao’s career to go far.

Ning Yao’s eyes lit up. "The Director said that if the company approves the proposal, she’ll ask me back as a regular cast member."

Her agent clapped her hands and laughed heartily. "Yes! That’s fantastic."

Ning Yao said, "I haven’t told anyone. Don’t you say a word either until it’s set in stone, okay, sis?"

"Don’t worry. Do I seem like the type to run my mouth?" Her agent glanced at Ning Yao. "Blabbing before things are confirmed? What if we jinx it and the opportunity flutters away?"

"We’re not that brainless."

In the main conference room, Director Wang watched Tan You speak eloquently at the front, a throbbing pain pulsing between his eyebrows. He’d been woken up by Tan You’s call before eight this morning, and having partied until five a.m., his head was now pounding.

But no matter how exhausted he was, Director Wang had still dragged himself out of bed for the sake of making money. The last project Tan You had personally helmed was now airing, and both its ratings and reviews were extremely high.

As far as he knew, many shows about intangible cultural heritage were already being greenlit. So, what kind of show was his capable subordinate planning to propose this time?

Tan You, of course, wasn’t nervous at all. "First, let me briefly introduce the basic concept... Everyone is interested in crime investigation and mystery deduction these days, so I want to create a suspense-themed variety show..."

At this, everyone’s interest was piqued. It was another one-of-a-kind concept in the industry, so of course, they were curious. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

A flicker of a smile crossed Tan You’s eyes, and she threw herself into explaining her proposal. The meeting lasted for over two hours before everyone finally dispersed. Naturally, the approval of Tan You’s show proposal was a sure thing.

Good things usually come in threes. Tan You’s idea was greenlit in the morning, and in the afternoon, she received a call from the police station. After more than two months, the police had finally rounded up the entire group of professional scammers, including Brother Long.

Tan You was in an excellent mood. "Congratulations, Captain Shang. You truly are one of the people’s finest officers, maintaining social order and keeping our community safe."

Captain Shang was put in a great mood by Tan You’s flattery. "Thank you for the praise, Director Tang. I can’t disclose the specific details of the case, but as for Li Wanjun, the station still needs to reprimand and educate him."

Tan You’s eyes darted thoughtfully. "Is that so? As his relative, I believe someone like Li Wanjun should have a family member present."

Captain Shang understood what Tan You was getting at. "Since Li Lanzhen is Li Wanjun’s only relative here, the station will notify her."

Tan You smiled. "It’s always so easy talking to you, Captain Shang."

Captain Shang let out a low chuckle. "I feel the same way about talking with you, Director Tang. Talk to you later."

While Fang Xiang and the others were in the detention center, Li Wanjun wasn’t having a good time either. His instincts were sharp enough; the moment he could no longer contact Fang Xiang, he knew something was wrong.

After that, he didn’t dare try to contact Fang Xiang again and could only secretly pray that Fang Xiang had vanished off the face of the earth. Unfortunately, fate had other plans. While he was at work that day, Li Wanjun received a call from the police, telling him to come down to the station.

Li Wanjun didn’t want to go, but the person on the phone made it clear that if he didn’t show up, they would come directly to his company. If that happened, it was hard to say whether Li Wanjun would be able to keep his job.

So, after asking his direct supervisor for time off, Li Wanjun rushed to the police station before three o’clock. But when he saw Li Lanzhen sitting there, he froze, unable to take another step.

Li Lanzhen was also surprised to see her nephew. She hurried over to Li Wanjun. "The police suddenly contacted me and said it had something to do with you, but they wouldn’t say what... They insisted on waiting for you to get here..."

A vague suspicion had already formed in Li Wanjun’s mind. Although his aunt’s surname was Li, she was a daughter-in-law of the Tang family. ’Could it be that my plan was exposed? Especially since Fang Xiang has gone completely silent...’

At this thought, Li Wanjun felt every step become incredibly heavy.

Although Li Wanjun had hired Fang Xiang with the intention of scheming to get the Tang family’s house, his plan never succeeded because Tan You had sent Fang Xiang to jail.

In this situation, what Li Wanjun did wasn’t technically illegal, as no crime was actually committed and no harm was done to Tan You. However, a reprimand was unavoidable, and it would be recorded on his permanent record.

In the future, if Li Wanjun wanted to take the civil service exam or join another major corporation, he would definitely fail the background check.

Inside the interrogation room, Captain Shang laid out everything Li Wanjun had done, including the job he had posted on the dark web and Fang Xiang’s confession.

Compared to Li Wanjun’s silence, Li Lanzhen was clearly hit much harder. But her focus was completely skewed. "Tang Li knew about this all along and didn’t say a single word? She just watched coldly from the sidelines? That’s her cousin! Now his life has this stain on it. What’s he going to do in the future?"

Even Captain Shang, who had seen countless weirdos in his many years on the force, was taken aback by Li Lanzhen. He widened his eyes slightly and cleared his throat. "So, you’re saying that because Tang Li didn’t fall for the scam, she’s the one at fault?"

Li Lanzhen was stunned by the question, left speechless and gaping.

Captain Shang couldn’t be bothered to argue with this shameless aunt-and-nephew pair and adopted an official tone. "Those are the facts. Tang Li’s high level of vigilance is her own business, but it doesn’t cancel out your malicious intent."

"If Tang Li had actually been deceived, then you would have had to bear legal responsibility."

"If there’s nothing else, you two may leave."

Li Lanzhen started wiping her tears. "Junjun, what are you going to do now? You’re still so young, and finding a job in the future..."

Captain Shang couldn’t listen anymore. "Ms. Li, Li Wanjun is just your nephew. Tang Li is your biological daughter."

Li Lanzhen retorted without a second thought, "Her surname is Tang, she’s not part of our Li family. She has her own grandparents to worry about her."

Captain Shang shook his head, unable to help but feel a pang of sympathy for Tan You. ’I’ve seen women who spoil their brothers rotten, but I’ve never seen someone so incapable of telling friend from foe.’

Tan You, of course, saw everything that happened at the police station. To be honest, she wasn’t angry. ’That’s Tang Li’s mother, not mine. Why should I be angry?’

But in all seriousness, Li Lanzhen needed to be dealt with. ’Still, just dealing with her directly is no fun. It’s much more satisfying to hit her where it hurts most... for example, the Li family.’
