Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

In fact, Xiao He did not expect that his submission of ”Peace and Stability Under Heaven” would be exposed so unexpectedly.

Faced with the surprised looks from Yang Heng and Qu Yuan, Xiao He could only smile.

These big shots are incredibly well-informed!

Xiao He had no intention of exposing this matter to the people of the whole country.

Otherwise, given his popularity and status, the level of discussion surrounding him would likely never come down.

Fortunately, neither Qu Kangcheng nor Yang Heng were big mouths and wouldn’t leak this secret. Only Yang Heng couldn’t help but clench his fist and complain, ”Why didn’t you tell me when we were talking about this a few days ago? That’s too distant!”

Such a big thing, Xiao He really kept his mouth shut, he didn’t tell anyone.

That’s so disloyal!

Yang Heng muttered to himself, and Xiao He could only laugh awkwardly: ”I just happened to witness it.”

In fact, because he had some suspicions in his mind, he wasn’t so excited when things actually turned out this way.

However, all the experts and professors in the field received the news and rushed over there overnight.

As for that time of the early morning, shouldn’t one be asleep?

Comfort is for the dead!

Even the old folks, half-buried in the ground, came to watch, leaning on their canes and trembling.

Xiao He was still immersed in the excited atmosphere of everyone during the first half of the night, but he started to get busy in the second half, helping the restoration center with reception and getting to know many professors and experts in the industry. He didn’t leave until other staff members were transferred over in the morning.

Although he wasn’t physically tired at this point, he had long since lost his excitement and had little desire to speak.

Yang Heng was unaware of Xiao He’s inner thoughts, but he didn’t continue teasing Xiao He. Instead, he looked at his old leader and asked, ”Grandpa Cui, have you gone to see it?”

Just from this difference in address, you can tell that Yang Heng’s family is indeed quite extraordinary.

The old leader was still smiling and nodded, saying, ”I happened to have some free time, so I took a look. I even ran into Old Qian from the calligraphy association on the way. He’s still the same as always, but he’s living a more and more leisurely life now, which is quite unpleasant to see. I’ll have to find him something to do later.”

Old money?

Xiao He’s expression shifted slightly.

This must be referring to Mr. Qian from the Calligraphy Association.

It truly lives up to its name as a city of Beijing, a circle of influence.

These capable people are basically all acquainted with each other.

Previously, because of the Qian family’s affairs, Mr. Qian stepped forward and voluntarily resigned from his position.

When Xiao He suddenly heard his old leader mention Qian Lao and say he wanted to find someone to do something, wasn’t that—

Qu Kangcheng, standing to the side, chuckled and chimed in, ”Hey, you guys are really hypocritical. When I find something to do for myself, you’re all worried sick, but when it comes to Lao Qian, you’re all eager to arrange things for him? That’s really not fair!”

”Haha, there’s no way around it. You’re bringing out so many talented people, so he has to work hard to keep up too!”

As the old leader spoke, he patted Xiao He and Yang Heng on the shoulder, then stood up and left with his hands behind his back.

A large number of audience members gradually left the venue.

Qu Kangcheng went to see people off, leaving only Xiao He, Yang Heng, and other theater staff behind.

Xiao He rested his chin on his hand in thought, while Yang Heng tilted his head and asked Xiao He with some doubt, ”You have a good relationship with the Qian family?”

”Yeah, pretty much.”

Xiao He nodded, ”Otherwise, the old leader wouldn’t have deliberately given me pointers.”

Of course, it wasn’t hard to tell that what the old leader had said about the Qian family was something he deliberately told him.

What is the main purpose?

It’s just to have him deliver this message to the Qian family.

Although Xiao He was just a small-time actor who ran a company and seemed to have little connection with these politically involved families, after these incidents, he did indeed develop a closer relationship with the Qian family.

It’s not a big deal to ask him to inform the Qian family of the good news in advance.

-

After the rehearsal ended, Xiao He immediately told Qian Lao about it.

Old Qian laughed heartily on the other end of the phone, not surprised at all. He simply thanked Xiao He: ”Xiao, I won’t say anything more. I still want to thank you again. If it weren’t for the royal garden you bought, this matter would probably still be a knot in the hearts of many people in our Qian family, and the true whereabouts of ’Peaceful World’ would remain a secret.”

They all knew very well that if Xiao He hadn’t bought the place, ”Peace and Stability Under Heaven” and other cultural relics would have slowly faded into obscurity along with that place for a long time to come.

After all, decades have passed since the previous owner made a mess of things and mortgaged the assets to overseas capital. This bad debt has become a taboo subject known to many.

No one would be foolish enough to fill this hole and take on this mess.

No one would call the police immediately after discovering this, and they showed no interest in the things in the basement.

—Just look at all those boxes and boxes of gold bars inside, who wouldn’t be tempted?

However, Xiao He remained calm throughout and cooperated fully with the work from beginning to end.

This kind of personality is very rare even among young people.

After learning the whole story from Qian Shunping, Mr. Qian couldn’t help but repeatedly exclaim, ”Xiao He is truly a great benefactor to our Qian family!”

The rest of the Qian family also strongly agreed with this.

Therefore, during this phone call with Xiao He, Mr. Qian repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Xiao He for his help to the Qian family.

”It’s okay, it’s what we should do anyway.”

Xiao He said, ”It is my honor to be able to see [N O V E L I G H T] Emperor Cheng Chen’s works up close in my lifetime.”

Then, with some curiosity, he asked, ”So, how did ’Peace and Stability Under Heaven’ end up in the Jinhe Prince’s Mansion? Do you know the details, Mr. Qian?”

”Um.”

Thus, through Qian Lao’s brief overview, Xiao He roughly learned about what happened back then.

The matter is actually not complicated. The owner of the Jinhe Prince’s Mansion is the nobleman who was betrayed by the Yun family!

To be honest, Xiao He was surprised but not entirely surprised when he heard about this. He had already guessed it when he re-examined the detailed documents that Caranson had handed him.

The family had fled hastily, and died en route to seek refuge abroad, allowing the Yun family to gain a significant advantage and establish themselves abroad.

Therefore, the patriarch of the Yun family learned a secret: before this nobleman fled, he left behind a large number of precious family heirlooms—

Because the nobles at the time believed that going abroad to seek refuge was only temporary, and that one day they would return to their homeland and enjoy their current lives again. Therefore, it was very necessary to leave some things in their own territory so that they could make a comeback in the future.

In the years that followed, the war ended and a new China rose up again. But in that context, it was difficult for the Yun family to return and search for those treasures.

So the matter was delayed again and again, and the secret was passed down from the Yun family patriarch all the way to the current patriarch, the Yun Rong Kingdom.

And they finally got the chance to return to China.

The antique smuggling route spearheaded by the Yun family was re-established around that time.

During this period, they set their sights on Qian Congwen, who had recently returned from the cowshed and had chosen to become a history teacher at a high school in Beijing.

Although Qian Congwen was still famous for his calligraphy at this time, the ten years of hardship had left a deep impression on him, so he lived a very poor life with a very simple lifestyle, and he also became very cautious.

—Yunrong Kingdom took a liking to Qian Congwen’s calligraphy skills and also noticed Qian Congwen’s anxiety about the current situation. They felt that Qian Congwen was a very easy person to manipulate, so they secretly visited him, wanting to recruit him into their group.
