PFC Chapter 188
Chapter 188
It seems that Hui Hongshen has thought things through very clearly over the past seven years.
Feng Shuyuan nodded:
"What then?"
"Our biggest mistake was probably that Qiuquan didn't have time to tell me the password to the USB drive."
Hui Hongshen touched his clothes and pulled out a USB flash drive from a hidden compartment.
The USB drive looked quite old; it was a tiny thing lying in Hui Hongshen's palm, which he held tightly.
"We didn't expect the company to act so quickly, and then..."
He looked at the USB drive and smiled wryly.
"I dare not brute-force the password; I can only try the password little by little using exhaustive search."
"Fortunately, I figured out the password last year."
"Inside is what Qiu Quan secretly recorded: the company engaging in power-for-sex transactions. In places I didn't know, he endured far more than I imagined."
“I originally wanted to report the company directly, but the company would definitely suppress it, and I would end up in a very passive position.”
"Even though I am a well-known director now, I am probably still nothing in their eyes."
Hui Hongshen gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"However, if I pay the price enough, given the right opportunity, I can barely stand on the same starting line as them."
Upon hearing Hui Hongshen's words, Feng Shuyuan suddenly realized:
"So, you deliberately created this situation?"
I can't say no.
Hui Hongshen looked up, his eyes filled with calm:
"Although the company thinks I don't know anything and doesn't dare to touch me, they are still worried about me leaving."
"You dare not touch me?"
Feng Shuyuan repeated it unconsciously.
Based on his previous account of returning to Hongshen, this shouldn't be the case, right?
"It is dawn."
Hui Hongshen smiled.
“They dare not touch Dawn, and I am his best friend.”
"You took advantage of him."
Feng Shuyuan answered instantly.
“I don’t deny that. Without Dawn, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be alive today. The initial public opinion would have ruined me.”
Hui Hongshen nodded calmly.
"But I don't think our friendship is fake."
"Dawn became my friend after knowing everything that had happened to me before. And I didn't hide anything from him except for this matter."
"He pulled me out of the public outcry."
After saying a few words, Hui Hongshen seemed to realize that he had gone off-topic and brought the topic back.
"In short, my previous behavior left a deep impression on the company, so they will definitely try to take me down one more time before I leave."
"And this is my chance."
"In order to have enough influence, they will not only not suppress the news, but will even fan the flames to let more people know about it and let more people criticize me."
"When the news gets hyped up to a certain extent, I'll release it. Even they won't be able to suppress it so quickly."
"This amount of time and attention is enough for the relevant departments to take it seriously and reinvestigate this matter."
"So even if Anwar hadn't been there, I would have switched jobs this year to make this move happen."
"I just didn't expect that Leon Lai would leave with me."
When the dawn was mentioned, a layer of mist seemed to rise in Hui Hongshen's eyes again.
He understood perfectly well that this was also Leon Lai's way of protecting him.
The truth he didn't tell Leon Lai made Leon Lai believe that he was still that vulnerable person.
He felt guilty for not being able to save his former friend, and also regretted dragging his current friend into this mess.
But he has no regrets.
"You should tell Leon Lai what you have to say yourself."
Having learned the whole story, Feng Shuyuan finally looked at the person who had been silently avenging his friend.
Seven years is enough to change a lot of things.
The fact that he can still maintain his original aspirations is enough to demonstrate his character.
"Besides these, what other evidence do you have?"
Feng Shuyuan asked.
"I also investigated a lot of things."
"For example, the lease agreement for the house next door."
"For example, Qiu Quan, that madman, even installed a miniature camera in his own home."
"You mean..."
Feng Shuyuan was shocked.
She never expected that Qiu Quan could do something like this.
"I only got it after I cracked the USB drive."
Hui Hongshen lowered his head again, staring at the USB drive in his hand.
"Besides the evidence, there's also a website address on the USB drive containing Qiu Quan's family's video archives."
“After Qiuquan died, the video recordings there were never updated.”
"Thanks to this, the entire process that day was recorded in great detail."
Listening to Hui Hongshen's story, Feng Shuyuan was momentarily at a loss for words.
Witnessing his friend's death firsthand, I wonder what he felt.
"Aren't you afraid that I might be one of those people when you tell me all this?"
Feng Shuyuan was rather curious.
Logically speaking, after such a long period of dormancy and such deep hatred, there shouldn't be such a strong urge to vent before things are successful.
To everyone's surprise, Hui Hongshen shook his head:
"Boss Feng, you're not."
"First of all, I have caused you trouble, and you have the right to know."
“If this matter is over, and you think I’m a troublesome person, I can leave Anwar.”
Hui Hongshen smiled.
"But I still want you to know that my time in Anwar was a rare period of relaxation for me."
"Secondly, having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, I can at least know a little about who has some shady dealings behind their backs."
"You have a pair of very clear eyes."
"Just because of these?"
Feng Shuyuan couldn't quite understand.
She has always been an insurance enthusiast.
While there was some truth to what Hui Hongshen said, it was absolutely insufficient to shake the seven years of planning and forbearance.
"Furthermore, now that the fire is already burning, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance that you will betray me, it won't make any difference."
At this point, Hui Hongshen even took a sip of tea in a good mood.
"To be frank, the reason I put on this act was simply to lower their guard."
“Of course I don’t want them to find out so early; the later they find out, the better for me.”
"But even in the worst-case scenario, if I die here, the evidence will still be sent to the relevant authorities on time and will still circulate online,"
"You really are..."
Looking at the composed Hui Hongshen, Feng Shuyuan couldn't help but chuckle.
That puts people at ease.
"Actually, you should talk to Liu Nian about this, since he is your direct supervisor, and I am at most a shareholder."
After learning the whole story, Feng Shuyuan was no longer in a hurry. While pondering how she could help Hui Hongshen, she chatted with him casually.
During the script discussions, Leon Lai was mostly talking to Fung Shu-Yuen, while Hui Hong-Shen sat quietly to the side, offering almost no opinions.
This was the first time the two had such an open and honest conversation.
This was also the first time Feng Shuyuan had learned that Hui Hongshen's personality was even somewhat wicked.
Its sharp tongue is as venomous as the early versions of the system.
"Well, I knew you went back to Anwar, so I thought I'd just stop by."
Hui Hongshen's attitude also became much more casual.
"So I'm just an extra you dragged here?"
Feng Shuyuan laughed, but he was also furious.
"You can't say that. You're much more famous than the extras."
After casually picking up on that line, Hui Hongshen answered Feng Shuyuan's earlier question just as she was about to retort.
"I've already briefly mentioned it to Mr. Blair, but I didn't go into this much detail. I just hoped that Mr. Blair would give me a boost once the relevant news came out, and he agreed."
"You really..."
Feng Shuyuan shook his head.
I haven't done much work at the company yet, but I've already included both bosses in my calculations.
"Tell me, how should this play proceed? Could the director explain the scene to this young actor?"
If you're going to put on a show, you might as well go all the way.
