Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn-Chapter 271 Pities An Lan

@BigBrother’sCookie: "Believing that stuff really kills. Kong Lin is really wicked, and the Qu brothers are really stupid."

@AirDriedRose: "I sympathize with An Lan. It’s already tragic enough to sell herself, and yet she’s been framed. Those two brothers knew she was ’short-lived’, blatantly digging her grave."

@ZS: "Although, it seems like An Lan will have to pay a breach of contract fee if she terminates the contract, plus, I can’t imagine her future, no entertainment company would sign her, right?"

No?

President Yan actually wanted to sign her, but obviously, the young lady would not accept any arrangement from anyone. Based on Yan Shixiu’s understanding of Shi Lan, she must have her own thoughts and plans. But President Yan wasn’t worried she would consider other companies, because the young lady refused to do business.

Once the grudges among the individuals were exposed online, netizens finally got their hands on the full juicy story. They thought what came next would be An Lan’s contract dispute with Tianwang Entertainment; however, they could never have anticipated that Shi Lan’s ultimate goal was not just to terminate the contract—it was far from that simple.

...

At noon, the usually bustling hospital quieted down due to the doctors’ lunch break.

At this time, Tang Ze brought Yan Shixiu’s team to Kong Lin’s hospital room, but they were stopped by Kong’s father. Tang Ze patiently explained his purpose for coming, assuring that he had no ill intentions.

After much consideration, Kong’s father finally relented, "If my daughter feels repulsed, you all must leave immediately."

"Alright, Uncle," Tang Ze agreed.

Kong’s father, after getting the assurance, pushed open the room door, but didn’t allow Yan Shixiu’s people to enter, fearing Kong Lin would be startled.

Tang Ze gently closed the door, showing Kong Lin the utmost respect.

With her arm in a cast, Kong Lin was just able to speak today. Upon seeing Tang Ze, she asked, "Are you An Lan’s broker, here to settle accounts? Is An Lan planning to sue me?"

Tang Ze shook his head, explaining, "An Lan has no intention of suing you. She wants to get away from Tianwang, but she’s signed a hefty indenture contract and can’t leave. That’s why I came to see you—she said you’d definitely have a way."

After listening, Kong Lin also shook her head: "I wronged her in the past, but I’ve learned my lesson. I don’t want to meddle in Tianwang’s affairs anymore, so she’s looking in the wrong place."

To Kong Lin’s response, Tang Ze seemed to have expected it and wasn’t in a hurry, patiently pushing forward: "Let me be honest, An Lan doesn’t know I’m here today. Because she never intended for you or the Qu brothers to get away safely; she didn’t want a happy ending. Ever since her attempted suicide and discharge from the hospital, she’s become a different person. All she thinks about now is dragging the entire Tianwang down with her, and you, who made her suffer the most, just think how terrifying her hatred is."

"Since you’ve made up your mind, there’s nothing more I can say. I still thought there might have been a slim chance to stop An Lan, but since you don’t want to get involved with Tianwang, I won’t persuade you further. However, as a colleague, let me warn you to be careful and take good care of yourself."

After speaking, Tang Ze sighed and planned to leave the hospital room.

But at that moment, Kong Lin panicked first.

"I’m already like this, and An Lan still won’t let me go?"

"But compared to what she has suffered, what is this to you?" Tang Ze retorted, "No worries, just think it over. I understand that preserving your own interests is more important at this time."

After finishing, Tang Ze took a step forward, but just as he was about to pull the door open, Kong Lin finally gave in, "Wait, so, if I help her terminate her contract with Tianwang, she’ll let me go?"

"Actually, there’s no need to force yourself, Miss Kong."

"No forcing!" Kong Lin said through gritted teeth.

Compared to the Qu brothers, Kong Lin was now more afraid of the barefooted Shi Lan.

The Qu brothers had too many weaknesses, but Shi Lan feared nothing.

"I have evidence of tax evasion by those brothers, but I can only give part of it to her, because I need to keep some as a bargaining chip to save my own life," she said.

After hearing this, Tang Ze said to Kong Lin, "Actually, I suggest that if you can afford to pay the breach of contract fee, it’s best to pay it. Don’t let those brothers know you have something on them, for your own safety. Your situation is different from An Lan’s."

Kong Lin nodded after listening, "I understand what you mean."

Tang Ze had originally thought he might still need to use President Yan’s people, but now, illuminated by the light of the boss’s wisdom, he had also mastered these psychological tactics.

Although he knew Kong Lin wouldn’t be able to give him much, at least it was enough to let the boss get away.

But obviously, Shi Lan’s goal wasn’t just to get away, so what exactly did she intend to do with that information to take down Tianwang?

Tang Ze was now full of anticipation.

...

In the afternoon, someone fainted on the sweltering set, with the forty-degree heat proving too much for the crew to bear.

Shi Lan and her group weren’t doing much better than the other workers, despite having fans and icy drinks, the young mistress felt nauseous repeatedly.

There was news from Tang Ze’s side, Kong Lin had given her a nice gift. Tang Ze vividly reported his negotiation skills over the phone, eliciting a snicker from the young mistress, "I knew how to do that at eight years old."

Tang Ze: "..."

"Are you even human? You’re not even human." Tang Ze said with hands on his hips and rolling his eyes, "Did all this work for you, and not a single word of affirmation or praise?"

"There is, you can think about which company you want to go to after leaving Tianwang."

"I can choose?" Tang Ze was very pleased.

"I can brazenly ask Yan Shixiu to slot you into Huahai."

"No other options?"

"To follow me without a title or a company to work independently. Take these few days to think about it," she said, leaving things unsaid for Tang Ze to make the right choice.

After Tang Ze put down his phone, he fell into deep thought.

Entering Huahai, isn’t that what countless brokers dream of?

But if Huahai was created by that female maniac, wouldn’t you be afraid she could create a second one?

So Tang Ze felt that this answer actually didn’t need much thought.

Although following the boss meant living in a constant state of the unknown, danger, and panic, hadn’t all the plans she made for him come to fruition?

In life, one must seek some excitement.

Having come this far, let’s see how she takes down Tianwang first.

...

When Shi Lan got that piece of evidence, she didn’t just plan on threatening those brothers to get away with it.

To truly dismantle Tianwang, one must start from within and undermine it.

First thing was with that brother’s accountant; knowing that someone else had evidence, wouldn’t they panic and flee?

Once the accountant ran away, it was then time to shake Tianwang’s artists, destroying years of Tianwang’s efforts overnight.

She wanted the Qu brothers to fully experience the despair of realizing, after ten days of detention were over and they were released, that the world had changed...
