HADES, THE URBAN LEGEND - Chapter 653 - 656: A Special Case

Chapter 653: Chapter 656: A Special Case

Yang Chen felt a sudden jolt in his heart. It had only been a day since he last saw her, and now something had gone wrong. He sternly said, “Why are you panicking? Get to the point.”

Zhuang Feng realized his emotions were out of control, quickly adjusted himself, and then tried to calmly recount what had happened.

It turned out that tonight, Huilin was supposed to go to a media company in Yandu to participate in a pre-discussion meeting for the shooting of the MV of her new album’s title song. Although Huilin was not good at acting and didn’t plan to appear in the MV, she attended the meeting as the singer.

The meeting involved the renowned local director Luo Sheng and a young model named Liu Zishan. Liu Zishan fit the fresh and pretty image needed for the MV and was also the champion of the modeling competition in North China. She was looking for a breakthrough to enter the entertainment industry, and Huilin’s recently skyrocketing song was the perfect opportunity.

Everything was going smoothly, and after discussing the MV’s production process, it was already late evening. The staff hurriedly went home or out to eat. However, Huilin, nervous during the meeting due to meeting these people for the first time, didn’t dare to say she needed to use the bathroom midway through.

After the meeting ended and most people had left, Huilin went to the company’s bathroom. When she was about to leave to meet up with her colleagues, she heard some disturbing sounds outside the conference room.

Listening carefully, Huilin discovered that director Luo Sheng was attempting to rape the model Liu Zishan!

Although Huilin found such matters embarrassing, her pure nature drove her to help Liu Zishan escape. She immediately burst into the room, disregarding the fact that Liu Zishan had already removed her top, and kicked Luo Sheng off her!

Luo Sheng was no match for Huilin. Before he could react, Huilin landed two more kicks, slamming him into the wall, leaving him bruised and nearly unconscious!

This sudden change made Liu Zishan, who was pressed against the conference table, scream, drawing several people back to the conference room.

When many staff members and security arrived, they couldn’t understand what had happened. Liu Zishan had already dressed, while director Luo Sheng lay on the ground, looking half-dead and very miserable.

As staff helped Luo Sheng up, he pointed at Huilin and cursed, telling everyone that Huilin had inexplicably rushed in and assaulted him while he was discussing the script with Liu Zishan.

Although many knew the truth, no one would say it aloud.

Of course, Huilin defended herself, claiming that director Luo Sheng was trying to rape Liu Zishan. However, when asked, Liu Zishan resolutely shook her head, denying any harassment!

Huilin was stunned on the spot, unable to understand why Liu Zishan, clearly the victim, would cover up the truth and falsely accuse her rescuer.

Despite Zhuang Feng and other Yulei people pleading, Luo Sheng refused to let it go and called the police, who took Huilin to the station.

Zhuang Feng, troubled, said, “Director Yang, Miss Lin is new and unaware of many industry rules. Models pleasing directors to advance their careers is no secret. Miss Lin might have misinterpreted Liu Zishan’s feigned resistance and thought she was genuinely unwilling. Now, after hitting director Luo and ruining his plan, Liu Zishan’s reputation has taken a hit, which could dim her star prospects. It’s no wonder she holds a grudge.”

Yang Chen had already returned to his car, started the engine, and after briefly explaining to Cai Ning and Cai Yan, turned the car around. “Where is Lin Huilin now?”

“At the Yandu Police Headquarters. Our accompanying staff weren’t allowed in, and none of the top lawyers dare to take the case!” Zhuang Feng said, frustrated.

“Why not?” Yang Chen, already using GPS to locate the police station, sped off.

Zhuang Feng explained, “Liu Zishan is a minor character without much influence. But director Luo Sheng’s sister is not someone to be easily offended.”

“I told you to stick to the point!” Yang Chen said, suppressing his anger and frowning.

“Yes, yes.” Zhuang Feng swallowed nervously and said, “Luo Sheng’s biological sister is Luo Cuishan, the eldest daughter of the Luo family in Yandu. Luo Cuishan is the wife of Premier Ning Guangyao and also a senior official in the Organization Department.”

Luo Cuishan? Yang Chen felt that life was indeed unpredictable. He had just dealt with Ning Guodong, and now Ning’s uncle was causing trouble for him.

“Director Yang, to put it bluntly, who dares to mess with the Ning family? Those lawyers are all avoiding it. You’re the only one who can handle this,” Zhuang Feng, who had witnessed Yang Chen’s impressive background, said. Although still a bit unclear, these people didn’t even dare to face Luo Sheng.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen was still fuming. Lin Ruoxi initially set up the entertainment company partly for Huilin and had Yang Chen be the director to take care of her. Yet, after the Meifeng incident, now Huilin was being taken to the police station! VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)c𝒐m for new 𝒏ov𝒆l𝒔

Had it been an ordinary problem, Yun Miao Shitai would have likely handled it secretly, but facing the Ning and Luo families, it’s no wonder Yun Miao Shitai hadn’t taken action.

At this moment, an unknown number called. Yang Chen, having a hunch, answered and directly said, “Yun Miao Shitai, no need for nonsense. I won’t let Huilin suffer in the slightest.”

Indeed, it was Yun Miao who called. She had just received the news and, learning it was Luo Sheng involved, felt helpless. Although furious about her granddaughter being taken in, she had to focus on the already declining Lin family, leaving the matter to Yang Chen.

“I am forced by circumstances. The Lin family can’t afford any more trouble. With your abilities, it shouldn’t be a problem. Huilin grew up with me on the mountain, unaware of the dark side of the entertainment industry. That’s why I didn’t want her to enter this circle. But since she’s already on this path, please take care of her for me,” Yun Miao sighed. “Even if you don’t have romantic feelings for her, at least treat her as a sister.”

Yang Chen was speechless and smiled bitterly. “Let’s not talk about ‘romantic feelings’ now. This whole thing started with you pushing it onto me.”

“Hmph, you know in your heart whether it’s true or not,” Yun Miao snorted and hung up.

Yang Chen felt frustrated, realizing he was in a thankless position.

Fortunately, the matter involved people with political connections, so it probably wouldn’t easily make the news. If Lin Ruoxi found out, it would be even more of a headache.

He remembered having assigned a special team to Huilin. Why was this still happening?

Yang Chen called Ron, directly speaking in Italian, “Ron, damn it, has the team I assigned to Yandu arrived? My sister has been taken to the station! Is this the result of your team’s work?!”

Ron seemed stunned, silent for a moment before responding with an elderly, helpless tone, “Master, please calm down. It wasn’t intentional. In fact, with the cooperation of Ms. Christine and Queen Catherine, the team was ready long ago. But you know, London’s fog delayed the flight by almost a day. They should arrive in Yandu within the hour.”

“Are they pigs? Couldn’t they fly from Paris?!” Yang Chen said.

Ron seemed taken aback, then sighed, “Master, you are indeed wise. Why didn’t we think of that?”

Yang Chen nearly threw his phone out the window, finally gritting his teeth, “They better show up in an hour, or I’ll feed them to the sharks in the Atlantic!”

“Master, the Atlantic is far from Yanxia. The Pacific is much closer,” Ron said seriously.

“Damn it, that’s not the point,” Yang Chen said, cutting off the call.

Luckily, traffic to the police station wasn’t heavy. Shortly, Yang Chen arrived outside the station.

Outside, Zhuang Feng and other staff were anxiously waiting for news. Upon seeing Yang Chen, they gathered around. Zhuang Feng said helplessly, “Director Yang, the police said this case is highly confidential. They won’t let us in, but we saw Luo Sheng’s assistant go in. They’re clearly biased!”

Yang Chen didn’t respond and walked straight to the entrance. Two police officers immediately blocked his way, with one dark-faced officer sternly saying, “Step back, this is a special case. No unauthorized personnel allowed.”

“If you don’t want to die, get out of my way,” Yang Chen, losing his patience, said. He was worried about Huilin being wronged, seeing how the police favored Luo Sheng.

The two police officers were about to get angry when they saw a black Audi A8 with a government plate pulling up outside the police station.

A middle-aged woman with short shoulder-length hair, dressed in a dark blue professional suit and carrying a small handbag, quickly stepped out of the car.

The woman was obviously well-maintained, with delicate skin that contrasted sharply with her mature demeanor. However, there was an air of authority in her eyes.

As the woman approached the entrance of the police station, the two police officers immediately stood at attention and bowed their heads in greeting, “Director Luo!”
