Chapter 235: Closing the Leak

Since the extras were always added at the last second after the crew sent a request to the casting company, it was highly unlikely that they would divulge it.

“Well, even though the extras didn't all arrive on set at the same time, it was certain that they weren't here when Tan Mo joined us. Moreover, she only appeared here once on the first day of filming,” Tan Jinqi said as she drew a circle with her finger on the table and pointed to the center. “That's why we can reduce the number of suspects to only those present on the first day.”

“But, those who join later can also hear it from others, right? Or people might talk about it?” the assistant asked.

“No,” Tan Jinqi shook his head. “The only people who were here on the first day were the main and supporting actors. They are all famous people. Do you really think they'll bother talking to those who play small or extra characters?"

“Causibility ..” The assistant nodded. “How about property owners and other staff?”

“They were the ones who knew about Tan Mo even before he joined us. They are also the ones who know about the bad situation we are in. The other thing was that Director Liu was the one who brought them here with him. They would most likely side with him rather than betray him. We should at least trust them because they know what will happen to the entire crew if they leak that information. Plus, if they wanted to leak information, why would they have to wait until now?”

“Really! God, your family's DNA is absolutely incredible. How can you and your sister be so smart?” exclaimed the assistant while slapping his own leg.

Of course, Tan Mo was naturally intelligent because he was a prodigy who attended Beijing University at the age of 15, but Tan Jinqi has also just shown the knowledge to prove that even if he does not want to become a film director, he could always choose to lead his family business without any problems.

The others finally realized why Director Hou had agreed to teach this young man.

Some people might think that Director Hou did it because Tan Jinqi came from a prestigious family. However, if one were to ask the Director himself, he would say that because of what the young man could achieve.

Tan Jinqi smiled, not planning to be humble when it came to his brothers. “Actually, I have two younger brothers older than Tan Mo. They are also the best in their respective fields.”

Even Director Liu is jealous of the Tan family's DNA now.

If they're all this smart .. shit, I'm so jealous of her parents.

“And the conclusion is?” Director Liu quickly turned the conversation back to what they were talking about.

“Oh, that's what I want to say. We can start with the people who were here on the first day, ” replied Tan Jinqi.

“I also almost came to the same conclusion. So this time I just called you here,” added the director.

His assistant had been with him from the beginning and was someone he could trust.

And Tan Jinqi was Tan Mo's brother, who would never betray his younger sister.

These two people were the only ones he could trust at the moment so he did not have to worry about the details of the meeting to be announced to the public.

“I have a list of people who came that day in my room. I'll take it,” said the assistant.

Director Liu nodded, knowing that he could rely on his assistant.

The assistant is always careful and records everything. His hard work paid off because the tape was what they really needed to know who leaked the information.

Just as the assistant was about to leave, Tan Jinqi's phone rang.

It was a phone call from Zhou Jingan. He was the son of Butler Zhou who had lived in the Wei Mansion since he was a child and grew up with Wei Zhiqian. He was basically Wei Zhiqian's brother from another parent.

Zhou Jingan was a year younger than Wei Zhiqian and had just graduated from university two years ago.

Once he graduated, he followed Wei Zhiqian's footsteps and started working at the Weifeng Company.

As Wei Zhiqian slowly gained the trust of each department and the higher-ups, Zhou Jingan's position also gradually rose.

In the end, Wei Zhiqian decided to appoint Zhou Jingan as his personal assistant only.

Ever since Zhou Jingan grew up in Wei Mansion, he had also been close to Tan Jinqi.

“Brother Zhou,” Tan Jinqi greeted him.

He had spoken to Zhou Jingan like that ever since they were children, because the latter was only a year older than him.

“I'm in your hotel lobby now,” Zhou Jingan said. “Are you in your room?”

“You're here?” Tan Jinqi jumped in shock. “I'm in Director Liu's room now. I'll meet you in the lobby.”

“Good. Oh, I'm here because of leaks about Mo Mo as scriptwriter.”

“Does Young Master Wei know who did it?”

Director Liu immediately raised his head. Although he could not hear the conversation, he could guess that they were talking about the scandal.

Even the assistant stopped and went back inside.

“Yes. That's why I'm here today. I think it is better to tell you in person than by phone,” Zhou Jingan said.

“I'll be down now!”

After hanging up the phone, Tan Jinqi turned to Director Liu excitedly. “It was Wei Zhiqian's personal assistant, Zhou. He said he was here to tell us about what they knew about the leak.”

“Bulkah?” Director Liu instantly got up. “Quick and go! Waitaminute! I'm coming with you.”

Naturally, the assistant also followed.

As they exited the elevator, they were greeted by Zhou Jingan, who was already waiting for them.

“Mr Zhou, you are a handsome man." Director Liu praised him as he looked at Zhou Jingan.

Zhou Jingan was very handsome ever since he was a baby and had tried hard to take good care of his face. However, the air and the gentle smile he brought to his surroundings was something he learned after spending his entire life in the Wei Mansion. It's not something that people can get easily.

“Thank you for your praise, Director Liu.” Zhou Jingan smiled as he shook hands with the director. “Come, let's talk in your room.”

Tan Jinqi nodded and quickly brought the guest back to Director Liu's room.

As they all sat down, Zhou Jingan took out his tablet and showed the contents to the other three people. “When the leak came out, Young Master Wei ordered me to check it out.”

Since Wei Zhiqian had to take care of sponsorship matters and had to put on a show with Han Zhuoli, he did not have time to check it out himself. That's when having a trusted friend as your own personal assistant comes in handy. He could hand over other important tasks to the assistant and not have to worry about that either.

“As we discovered who was behind it, Young Master Wei asked me to come here immediately to show you our findings,” Zhou Jingan explained.

“This is proof manager Ding Mengfei contacted various news agencies. And this is his conversation history. Since just having a screenshot alone is not enough because one can say that the image is fake, we decided to record the screen everything.”
