Just as Fu Shan was instructing Zhou Qin to deal with Fang Yingying, a set of financial records suddenly exploded across the internet.
The documents contained solid evidence that Fang Yingying had committed massive tax evasion.
The entire internet erupted.
"My God! How much money is that? There are so many zeros!"
"Let's see... ones, tens, hundreds... billion... Eighteen billion! She evaded taxes totaling 18 billion yuan!"
"I'm speechless. I don't even burn that much paper money for my ancestors during Qingming Festival. This is unbelievable!"
"So she's really that rich? She hid eighteen billion in taxes alone? That's insane! Forget Fang Yingying—she should change her name to Fang Eighteen Billion."
"Why is the entertainment industry still keeping someone like her around? The authorities should blacklist her immediately!"
"Exactly! Ban her already!"
The controversy spread like wildfire.
Before long, the national broadcasting authority issued an official notice:
Due to Fang Yingying's serious misconduct, all entertainment activities involving Fang Yingying are hereby prohibited effective immediately. She is officially blacklisted from the entertainment industry.
Back at her luxury apartment, Fang Yingying had just returned home, still cursing under her breath.
When her manager sent her a digital copy of the official blacklist notice, she froze.
"How... how is this possible? They've actually blacklisted me?"
She stared blankly at the document, feeling as though she'd been struck by lightning.
Her manager, Li Fen, spoke coldly over the phone.
"That's not all. Every one of your endorsement companies and business partners has called. They're terminating your contracts and demanding compensation."
"According to the contracts, you're entirely at fault."
"What?! They want compensation?" Fang Yingying's face turned pale. "How am I supposed to pay all of that?"
"That's your problem."
"If you can't pay, they'll sue you. Worst case..."
"You'll be going to prison."
Li Fen said it casually before adding one final sentence.
"Oh, and one more thing."
"The company has officially terminated your contract."
"From now on, your affairs have nothing to do with either the company or me."
"Take care of yourself."
Click.
The call ended.
"Hello? Sister Fen? Sister Fen!"
Fang Yingying hurriedly tried to call back, only to discover she'd already been blocked.
Furious, she smashed her phone onto the floor.
"They're terminating my contract?"
"When I was making money for them, they gladly accepted all the benefits. And now they abandon me?"
Her face twisted with anger as she stormed toward the door.
She was going to the company to demand an explanation.
The moment she opened the door—
She stopped dead.
Outside stood a group of officials.
"Are you Fang Yingying?" asked the middle-aged man leading them.
"...Yes. I am. And you are?"
"We're from the relevant authorities."
"We've received a report from an anonymous citizen providing conclusive evidence that you've committed tax evasion."
"You'll need to come with us for investigation."
Fang Yingying's expression changed dramatically.
"What?"
"You want to take me away for investigation?"
She instinctively wanted to refuse.
The official merely nodded.
"That's correct."
"Miss Fang, your only option now is to cooperate with the investigation."
Hearing those words, Fang Yingying's legs gave out.
She collapsed onto the floor, her face drained of all color.
"...It's over."
"It's really over."
She was finished.

"President Fu, there's no need for us to act anymore."
Zhou Qin quickly called Fu Shan back after carrying out his orders.
"Someone has already dealt with Fang Yingying."
He then reported everything that had happened.
Fu Shan merely raised an eyebrow.
"I see."
Zhou Qin sounded puzzled.
"President Fu... do you know who did this?"
Fu Shan smiled but offered no answer.
After giving Zhou Qin a few more instructions, he hung up.
Who else could it have been?
Obviously...
His sixth sister.
Thinking of this, Fu Shan smiled and sent a message.
Sixth Sister, thanks.
Imperial Capital
Rongguang Group — R&D Executive Office
Fu Zilan quickly scanned the online news.
After confirming that Fang Yingying had indeed been successfully reported and investigated, she quietly deleted the reporting software from her computer.
Mission accomplished.
At that moment, her phone chimed.
It was a message from her younger brother, Fu Shan.
Just four simple words.
Sixth Sister, thanks.
Fu Zilan raised an eyebrow before smiling.
"So he figured it out."
"As expected of my little brother."
From that day onward, Fang Yingying completely disappeared from public view.
As a blacklisted celebrity, her acting career was effectively destroyed.
Worse still, the enormous tax penalties and astronomical breach-of-contract compensation left her drowning in debt.
Unable to repay what she owed, she was sued by multiple companies.
Eventually, the court sentenced her to prison.
Even after serving her sentence, the debts remained.
Every day became a struggle simply to survive while evading creditors.
Rumor had it that someone later spotted Fang Yingying in a slum in Z City.
She was no longer the glamorous actress she once was.
Though still young, she looked decades older—her face haggard, her hair completely white, resembling an elderly woman before her time.
She survived by digging through garbage bins and collecting recyclables.
She was frequently bullied and beaten by other scavengers.
Her days were miserable beyond words.
The once-famous queen of trending topics had become nothing more than a distant dream.
Late at night, she often lay awake filled with regret.
Why...
Why had she been foolish enough to provoke Fu Shan?
Why had she insisted on offending Xu Yifei?
If she hadn't...
She never would have ended up like this.
But regret could not turn back time.
The bitter consequences she had sown could only be borne by herself.
