Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

163: 163. Leave it to meXu Ting’s expression instantly became incredibly solemn.

Born into the Xu Family, she had naturally heard about the dirt and grime behind the upper echelons of society.

Even her good-for-nothing uncle used to participate in many shady private parties.

And it would be absolutely impossible for someone to organize events of that caliber without strong backing from the legitimate world.

”Who is Wei Rong’s backer?” Xu Ting asked with a frown.

Wang Yuxi shook her head blankly, ”I don’t know... Wei Rong is very tight-lipped, only hinting that the other party has immense influence, telling me not to even think about resisting.”

Just then, Lu Feng, who had been listening quietly, spoke up, his voice calm: ”Xiao Hao of the Xiao Family in Shengjing.”

Lu Feng had long since figured out all the intricacies involved, which was why he wanted to intervene.

”The Xiao Family?”

Wang Yuxi and Xu Ting were both stunned. Their main area of activity was Jiangcheng and its surroundings, so they had limited knowledge of families entrenched in the capital, Shengjing, let alone any dealings with them. For a moment, they found the name unfamiliar.

Lu Feng explained indifferently: ”The Xiao Family’s ancestors participated in the founding of the Xia Kingdom, earning the merit of supporting the dragon. Although the core figures are long gone, their influence remains, and they are deeply rooted. In this generation, Xiao Hao is one of the more active ones. He opened several entertainment companies to dabble in the industry. On the surface, he’s involved in cultural industries, but secretly, he uses these artists who seek his help to curry favor and weave a network of connections.”

”And his elder brother, Xiao Yun... is the mayor of Shengjing. They also have several younger brothers, each with significant achievements in their respective fields. The Xiao Family’s power in both the legitimate world and the business world is intricate and indeed considerable.”

Hearing Lu Feng meticulously detail the other party’s background, Xu Ting couldn’t help but gasp!

”You... how do you know all this so clearly?” Xu Ting couldn’t help but ask, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Lu Feng smiled mysteriously: ”As long as I want to know, there’s nothing in this world that can be hidden from me.”

He turned to Sister Yuxi, emphasizing again: ”Sister Yuxi, this matter is not a big trouble for me. I can help you solve it, completely solve it.”

Compared to facing a hail of bullets and warlord conflicts in a lawless land like the Golden Triangle, handling such matters in a domestic environment with clear rules and legal frameworks seemed simpler for Lu Feng.

”You... can you really do it?”

She could bravely refuse Wei Rong, even if it meant facing astronomical liquidated damages, but what would follow would be utter ruin, a devastating blow of being completely blacklisted.

Could it be... that Lu Feng really had a way to stop all of this?

Even if Tingfeng Capital was under his control, could his reach extend to Shengjing? Moreover, the other party had such deep legitimate backing!

Xu Ting looked at Lu Feng with a complex expression, finally sighing softly, and said to Wang Yuxi: ”Yuxi, Little Brother Lu... he’s not the same as before. He is now... the true Big Boss of our Xu Family.”

She specifically emphasized the words ”Big Boss.”

”!!!”

Wang Yuxi’s beautiful eyes widened suddenly, looking at Lu Feng in disbelief, then at Xu Ting, completely unable to understand the meaning of this sentence.

The Xu Family was a prestigious family, how could Lu Feng, a college student, become the Big Boss of the Xu Family?

Xu Ting also knew that it couldn’t be explained in a word or two. She just squeezed Wang Yuxi’s hand tightly, her tone firm: ”Since Little Lu says he can, then you... believe him, he won’t lie to you.”

Wang Yuxi stared blankly at Lu Feng, as if seeing this young man anew. She hesitated, ”Then... what do you need me to... do for you?”

Lu Feng said frankly: ”Sister Yuxi, my future plans require a completely controllable public opinion channel. So, I will establish a new media company, which you will fully manage and operate. Your influence is exactly what I need.”

Hearing this condition, Wang Yuxi almost didn’t hesitate at all, stating decisively: ”As long as you can help me completely break free from their control, I agree! I will definitely help you make the company successful!”

”Good.”

Lu Feng’s face showed a knowing smile, ”Then leave it to me.”

...Meanwhile, at Tianxin Media Company, inside the boss’s office.

Wei Rong frowned, listening to her subordinate agent’s report, and impatiently retorted: ”Are you sure you’ve searched all the places she frequents? No clues at all?”

”Yes, Boss.”

The agent replied cautiously: ”The private salons she often visits, beauty salons, and we even asked a few industry insiders she’s close with. They all said they haven’t been in touch recently and don’t know where she went.”

”Isn’t she on very good terms with Xu Ting of Donghai Group? Have you asked Xu Ting?”

”We’ve asked, and General Manager Xu also said she doesn’t know and can’t get in touch.” The agent’s face showed a worried expression.

”Boss... Sister Yuxi... could she have done something rash, something bad?”

She knew how much the boss had been pressuring Wang Yuxi lately, with all sorts of threats and inducements. Anyone else would have already gone for broke.

It’s just unclear what leverage the boss has over Wang Yuxi to make this film empress endure such humiliation.

But if they really pushed someone to a dead end and a life was lost, that would definitely be a major incident that would shock the entire country!

Wei Rong scoffed, her face full of indifference: ”Don’t worry, she’s not that fragile. She’s got plenty of resilience in her bones. She just hasn’t figured it out yet, that in this circle, the glamour on stage is fake, merely the result of big hands manipulating from behind. Once she recognizes reality and knows that an arm can’t twist a thigh, she’ll naturally come back obediently.”

There was no way she would let go of this cash cow. It wasn’t easy to cultivate her into a film empress; now that it’s time to frantically harvest fame and fortune, let her go? What a joke!

Moreover, Wang Yuxi’s value extended far beyond her on-screen fees and endorsements. Once her popularity was stable, she would be an excellent resource for organizing high-society social events and currying favor for the big bosses behind the scenes.

Wei Rong never considered herself a madam; she was merely the big shot’s front, an efficient resource integrator.

Just then, the agent’s phone rang. She looked down, and the name ”Wang Yuxi” was clearly displayed on the screen!

”Boss! It’s Sister Yuxi! She’s calling!” The agent said excitedly, quickly answering the phone.

Then, a remarkably cold and calm voice came from Wang Yuxi’s end: ”I’m fine.”

Wei Rong, listening nearby, showed a knowing and mocking smile, as if to say, ’I knew it.’ She crooked her finger, signaling the agent to give her the phone.

Taking the phone, Wei Rong spoke in the tone of an elder caring for a junior: ”Sister Yuxi, look at you, what are you throwing a tantrum for? Haven’t I been good enough to you? The best resources, the biggest endorsements, which one wasn’t given priority to you? This is something countless people in the industry would break their heads trying to get, what more do you want from me? Don’t be willful, come back, let’s talk properly, the renewal terms can still be negotiated, can’t they?”
