After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 118 Gao Feibai has eaten my conscience

【Owner? 】

Seeing that Ye Sanqing was lost in thought for a long time, Xiaochong reminded him.

Ye Sanqing came to his senses.

Nothing. I was just thinking about some things from the past.

[Does the master think he resembles someone from the past?] The little bug began searching the database.

No, it's just that this feeling is somewhat familiar. I seem to have witnessed many instances of people expressing gratitude to me before, but strangely, I never felt anything at the time. Now… I seem to be a little happy?

"Has the master's emotion module changed?" Little Bug asked.

"...I'm human, what module...?" Ye Sanqing didn't want to criticize the AI's understanding of this point, and continued, "It's similar to that, this change is quite interesting. It can be recorded."

"Meow~!" Jiao Maqiu meowed twice in dissatisfaction when Ye Sanqing didn't reach out to pet it.

"Is the cat still here?" Sheng Hanyu waited until Yin Xiangming had left and Ye Sanqing had finished his daze before coming over to talk to her.

"Yes, what should we do?" Ye Sanqing rarely showed a slightly troubled expression.

"Wow, you're so heavy." Sheng Hanyu sat down next to Ye Sanqing and scooped the cat up.

Is this considered heavy?

"It's not light, I'd guess it weighs at least ten pounds," Sheng Hanyu said, placing the cat on the ground and stroking it as she spoke.

Ye Sanqing secretly noted: Cats are small wild animals, and Jiao Maqiu is considered heavy among cats.

"Go back now." Seeing the cat wag its tail contentedly after being petted, Sheng Hanyu waved to it.

The cat leaped onto the wall and disappeared into the darkness in a flash.

"Are cats social animals?" Ye Sanqing asked.

"It can't be considered that." Her question was somewhat strange in Sheng Hanyu's eyes, but he still explained, "Wild cats do stick together to survive, but they rarely act in groups."

"No wonder, didn't it take away a bunch of meat last time? There should have been a group of cats then, but there are hardly any other cats outside."

"Maybe it's because winter is coming, and they're all hiding in warm places and not going out much... taking turns to forage for food or something?" Although Sheng Hanyu knew more about cats than Ye Sanqing, she only knew about the semi-free-range type in human territory, and she wasn't very sure about the second half of her sentence.

"It's quite interesting." Ye Sanqing noted: Cats love warmth, know how to hide, and the lead cat prepares the food.

"If you like, you can keep one," Sheng Hanyu said, seeing that she seemed very interested.

"Can I keep it?" Ye Sanqing thought for a moment. "But wouldn't it be bad to keep it as a pet? I mean, someone like Jiao Maqiu who is used to being in the wild probably wouldn't be able to accept having their range of activity narrowed."

“There are also cats suitable for keeping as pets, and each cat has a different personality.” Seeing that it was getting late, Sheng Hanyu stood up and said, “If you are really interested, Master Ye can go to the adoption center or pet store to choose one and see if there is one that catches your eye.”

"Okay, I'll learn some basic cat care knowledge first before I consider it."

She's kept quite a few strange animals, but none of them have any similarities on this planet, so they're completely irrelevant. Besides, it can't be entirely said that she was the one who kept them in the past…

The little insect secretly noted it down: cats, animals that His Majesty is interested in.

"Is it time to rest?" Sheng Hanyu glanced at the embers in the stove, making sure it would go out on its own soon, and then asked Ye Sanqing.

Upon hearing this, Ye Sanqing got up, and the two went back to their room together.

Gong Yao came out and saw Pan Hongyu and Yin Xiangming eating noodles in the kitchen. He went over and said, "Sorry to disturb your meal. Are you alright? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Gong Yao was determined to see this matter through to the end. She hoped that Yin Xiangming would no longer be shrouded in darkness and could shine even brighter on the stage.

Yin Xiangming and Pan Hongyu exchanged a glance. Pan Hongyu put down her chopsticks and said, "Don't bother us. We're almost finished eating anyway. There's one thing we might really need to trouble Miss Gong with."

"Teacher Pan, just call me Yao Yao," Gong Yao said. "What is it? I will definitely help if I can. Please tell me without any worries."

“I need to contact the police. I suspect my brother… Pan Yongfu, that beast, has done more than one bad thing. I want the police to investigate his residence while he is away. I wonder if there is any way to do that?”

"Yes." Gong Yao readily agreed when he heard that it was such a simple matter.

During the long talk between Pan Hongyu and Yin Xiangming, in addition to resolving the misunderstandings that had accumulated over the years, Yin Xiangming also mentioned that during the years when Pan Yongfu was not interested in him, he observed that Pan Yongfu was overly enthusiastic towards other relatives' children.

After thinking it over carefully, Pan Hongyu realized that those people might also be victims.

Although Pan Yongfu just admitted it, and it is very likely that he will turn himself in in order to continue to please her, the most likely thing is that he will only admit to this one thing.

In the end, she may not receive a severe punishment, which is something Pan Hongyu cannot accept.

Yin Xiangming also could not accept it.

Although he was not physically harmed, allowing such people to go unpunished will only create more innocent victims.

Regarding the procedures... After Pan Hongyu raised her concerns, Gong Yao said, "The procedures will be easier to handle after he surrenders himself. As family members... I'm sorry, I know you don't want to be family with him right now, I mean family in the legal sense... If you take the initiative to provide assistance to the police, you can make this matter more legitimate."

Pan Hongyu nodded, and after discussing a few more details, the three of them returned to their respective rooms.

Sigh, she looks so tired, but ironically, she seems to be in much better spirits.

【Mingming ah…】Yin Xiangming’s few fans were devastated today, but seeing how strong Yin Xiangming looked, they felt they had to cheer up too.

"It's alright, there is still justice in this world," everyone reassured them.

Let alone Yin Xiangming's original fans, he has already shown many advantages that he himself was unaware of during his time on the show, including but not limited to his superb acting skills during the script murder mystery game, as well as his diligent, low-key, and hardworking nature. These advantages are very endearing.

Although some fans left today because they were really bothered by the fact that their favorite celebrity had experienced such a thing, most rational fans stayed and became much more determined.

[Keep going! Everything will be alright. You must bring the bad guys to justice!]

So the next morning, Pan Yongfu indeed said he was going to turn himself in.

Last night, they were right; Pan Yongfu was indeed planning to surrender himself and try to get a lighter sentence.

He won't get a sentence of more than a few years. He's unemployed and lives off his sister, so there's no issue of it affecting his work or income.

With the possibility of probation, he's practically free. As long as Pan Hongyu doesn't abandon him, he'll still have a good life.

Gong Yao glanced at Pan Hongyu, who nodded, and Gong Yao began sending messages rapidly.

Pan Hongyu apologized on camera, saying that she had to leave the program for some reason, and then she and Pan Yongfu left in a hurry.

Although Pan Yongfu said he was going to turn himself in, she had to make sure he actually did before she could feel at ease taking the next step.

Zhu Song did not consider her to have breached the contract, after all, it was an unexpected incident, and the program was actually coming to an end after this family visit segment.

Instead of worrying about the breach of contract in the next few days, it's better to do a favor and let it go.

Yin Xiangming remained at the scene. After the two left, he announced to the camera, "Everyone, if there are any victims of Pan Yongfu who need any assistance, you can contact me privately or contact Gong Yao. In addition, we are preparing to establish a foundation to help other victims of similar incidents."

Gong Yao had just finished sending the message when he heard this and stepped forward.

"The foundation has not been officially established yet. It will be officially announced after it is established. Please pay attention at that time and you can share it with people who need help."

This was also part of what they discussed last night.

As for why Gong Yao readily participated, it was because Yin Xiangming was ultimately a man, while the victims of such incidents were mostly women.

Many women are unable to confide their experiences to men, and it was precisely because of this that Yin Xiangming sought advice from Gong Yao.

Gong Yao had always intended to do some public welfare activities, and in fact, she was hesitant among various options before coming here.

Moreover, Yin Xiangming's main profession is acting, and given his status as a victim, it's difficult to guarantee that he won't suffer secondary psychological harm while helping others.

Although Yin Xiangming felt that he would only become stronger, Gong Yao, who had a better understanding of psychology, believed that they should not take it lightly and that it would be best to reduce contact with such incidents, except for dealing with matters directly related to Pan Yongfu.

Ultimately, it became what it is now, with professional staff handling specific matters.

The comments section erupted in uproar.

[Xiao Ming, you are truly the best Xiao Ming in the world, I'm so moved to tears]

[If you get caught in the rain, you're expected to hold an umbrella for others... Shame on me, all I do is tear other people's umbrellas apart.]

[Xiaoming, make sure you're mentally healthy before you meddle in other people's business!]

【This...it was way too easy for him to hook up with Gong Yao?】 The comments weren't all positive; there were also a few skeptical voices, mostly sour ones.

After all, Gong Yao's most prominent identity is that of the eldest daughter of the Gong family, which is almost as if she were the sole heir of the Gong family.

As for Yin Xiangming... he was virtually unknown before the show started; at most, he was just a minor actor.

Although it's just a collaboration on a charitable cause, in the eyes of jealous people, it's much more than that.

【Hmm...you...you know, Yao Yao is a huge fan of theirs, so there's no question of being connected or not. If you're really sour, just say so, and I'll make you into pickles.】

Fruit can also be pickled.

Honestly, you should know when to be sarcastic. Posting irrelevant comments at such a serious time shows absolutely no empathy or basic kindness.

[Exactly! Do you think this kind of thing is easy? It's purely thankless work. People already have it tough enough, and you still have to criticize them? Where's your conscience? Did the dog eat it?]

[Gao Fei ate for nothing]

Haha, so accurate!
