Chapter 195 Betrayal
Fearing that the man surnamed Qian would take his anger out on her again, Gu Wen pointed to the agent who was blocking her way.
She shouted, "Him! Just say he forced me to steal the manuscript. Anyway, everyone knows he's my manager."
Gu Wen looked on with hopeful eyes, under the incredulous gaze of her agent.
Clutching at his manager's trouser leg, he pleaded, "Brother, you're my own brother. I'll repay you for the rest of my life for saving me this time."
"You wouldn't want all my hard work over the years to go to waste, would you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" the agent asked, looking utterly disappointed.
Heartbroken, she questioned, "Is your sacrifice considered a sacrifice, but mine isn't? I've served you tirelessly for so many years, and this is how you repay me?"
"If I get this stigma, how am I supposed to survive in this industry?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Wen was even more agitated than him, shouting at the top of her lungs, "If I'm finished, do you think you can still survive in this industry?"
"Don't forget, I'm the one making money for the company, not you. If you don't take the agent's position, plenty of others will!"
Gu Wen made threats, attempting to force the agent to compromise in this way.
The man surnamed Qian, impatient, shoved his agent aside and yelled at Gu Wen.
"Stop talking nonsense, just do as you say, issue a statement, issue it now."
Then, she turned to her agent with a hostile expression and threatened, "Agents are just scapegoats. Remember whose food you're eating."
Don't cause any trouble. I can still put in a good word for you in the industry so you won't go hungry.
If you don't know what's good for you, don't just worry about not being able to make a living in this industry; I can make sure you can't speak or eat anything tomorrow!
Fearing that his agent might run away, the man surnamed Qian called in bodyguards, who surrounded the agent on both sides, creating a very oppressive atmosphere.
Ultimately, under the coercion and enticement of the man surnamed Qian and the persistent pleading of Gu Wen, the agent was forced to record an apology video.
In the video, he admitted that he had instructed Gu Wen to steal Yuan Sixiao's manuscript, that he was willing to bear all the consequences, and that he would resign from his position as agent.
The video was short, and after being posted online, it did not bring Gu Wen the expected results.
Netizens have already concluded that this is a scapegoat she found, after all, it is not uncommon in the industry to use assistants or agents to take the blame.
There's nothing new or interesting about it.
The agent's facial expressions also didn't hold up to scrutiny.
Yuan Yangyang watched the video repeatedly and finally found the key point in the corner.
"Second brother, look! Is there someone hiding behind Gu Wen's agent? It feels like he didn't say those words willingly."
Yuan Yangyang zoomed in on the video and saw the shadows of other people appearing to the side of the agent. Furthermore, there was another pair of men's leather shoes behind the agent's feet.
Judging from the distance, it was obvious that the person was hiding behind the agent's chair.
Judging from the location, it seems that the agent was coerced into recording this apology video.
Yuan Sixiao was not surprised at all. "Yes, that's something Gu Wen would do."
Yuan Yangyang stroked her chin, a wicked glint in her eyes.
"After working diligently for so many years, he was used as a scapegoat when something went wrong, and was even discarded after being used. I'm sure his manager is having a tough time right now!"
"What do you want to do?" Yuan Sixiao asked with interest.
Yuan Yangyang: "I'm so kind, I can't stand seeing others suffer, so of course I'll go and offer them warmth!"
"As Gu Wen's agent, I don't believe he doesn't have something on Gu Wen. I just don't know if it's too late. He might not even be in the company anymore."
“That’s easy.” Yuan Sixiao dialed a number directly.
A few minutes later, Yuan Sixiao said, "You guessed right, the agent was indeed coerced. At the time, besides Gu Wen and that executive surnamed Qian, there were also two bodyguards in the room."
The agent was only allowed to leave the room after the video was recorded.
"He's near the company right now, should we go check on him?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yuan Yangyang couldn't wait and immediately dragged Yuan Sixiao out the door.
Yuan Sixiao acted as the driver. When they arrived at their destination, Yuan Yangyang noticed from afar the man squatting by the roadside, looking utterly dejected.
Yuan Sixiao slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of his agent.
Meeting the other person's dejected and confused eyes, Yuan Yangyang said, "Get in the car!"
Seeing that her agent didn't make a move, Yuan Yangyang immediately started mocking her.
"No wonder Gu Wen made you take the blame. You're like a lump of dough, you don't fight back unless you're bullied. Who else would you bully if not you?!"
"Look at you, wallowing in self-pity for whoever you're trying to fool? You're not waiting for Gu Wen to have a change of heart and come back begging for your forgiveness, are you? How can you be so stupid!"
"Of course not!" The agent couldn't stand being called stupid.
Although, in retrospect, he was indeed quite foolish.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have clung to wishful thinking even though he clearly saw through Gu Wen's selfishness.
He should have left sooner, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Since being kicked out of the company, he has no idea where to go. Now, I'm afraid no company would dare to hire him!
I dare not look at my phone, for fear of seeing a deluge of negative comments.
Now, his future and career are all ruined.
But he was outnumbered and outmatched, unable to even do something as simple as confronting the other side.
With the other party giving the order, and with bodyguards present, he couldn't even get close.
Moreover, he knew very well that neither Gu Wen nor the man surnamed Qian were good people. If he dared to harass them, it wouldn't just be a matter of losing his job.
Their personal safety may be threatened.
But now, seeing the Yuan siblings who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, the agent's eyes rekindled with hope.
……
Soon after, another storm swept across the internet.
This storm is bigger than any before.
The location of the storm was also quite different; it was not far from the entrance of the police station.
The protagonist of the incident is Gu Wen's agent.
The agent was live-streaming on his phone, accusing Gu Wen and Mr. Qian of threatening and forcing him to admit to stealing Yuan Sixiao's manuscript.
He also accused the other party of restricting his personal freedom by having bodyguards record an apology video in order to achieve their goal before letting him leave.
He is about to go to the police station to report the crime.
Furthermore, he has audio evidence of Gu Wen personally admitting that she planned and stole Yuan Sixiao's manuscript.
They promised to upload audio evidence and report the incident to the police after the broadcast ends.
Yuan Yangyang and Yuan Sixiao were sitting in the car, and their agent was live-streaming on her phone not far away.
Yuan Yangyang held her phone, watching the live comments and sighing with admiration.
"As expected of Gu Wen's agent, they're just as ruthless when they get going."
They actually thought of broadcasting live before calling the police, hoping to leverage public opinion and official power to make their words more convincing.
She's quite intelligent, but her judgment is poor; she ended up with such an ungrateful wretch like Gu Wen.
Yuan Sixiao reclined his chair and slumped lazily.
