After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1123 - 592: Kicked the Iron Plate (Part 2)

Lin Yujiao hesitated when she heard about calling the police, "Wouldn't that be too troublesome? If the issue gets blown up, it wouldn't be good either, right?"

Jin Xinyan said irritably, "So what do you plan to do? Agree to this paparazzi's blackmail? It's 400,000."

Lin Yujiao frowned, "Is there no other way? I don't want the issue to escalate."

Chen Feng shook his head, seriously, "Calling the police to arrest him and sending him to jail is the best solution. This person is likely a repeat offender, and his behavior has already broken the law, so he should face legal repercussions."

Lin Yujiao then said, "I'm worried that even if we catch him, the report might still get published eventually."

Jin Xinyan nodded, "That's indeed a problem. If he left the report with his accomplices, after he's caught, they might release it to the media."

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "This paparazzi is extorting on his own, more likely. With an extra person, that's more people to share the money and it can't stay secret easily.

Granted, there is a chance he has accomplices, but as long as the police can quickly apprehend him and uncover leads, it can be stopped. Even if it can't be stopped, if the report gets out, it might not be a bad thing.

You could totally use this opportunity to make a splash, issue a strong rebuttal statement, and then sue the media that published the report. It could actually increase your exposure and traffic.

By then, you'll definitely be more popular than you are now."

Lin Yujiao shook her head, "You know, I never really wanted to become some big star, I'm aware of my limits. I've been divorced, I'm almost thirty, and coming from a humble background, how could I become a big star?

I just purely want to be a singer; I genuinely like singing. As for acting and TV shows, I'm not really interested."

Jin Xinyan couldn't help but laugh and asked, "But you do like money, right?"

Lin Yujiao was taken aback, rolled her eyes, "Who doesn't like it?"

Jin Xinyan laughed, "Exactly. And once you have higher exposure and popularity, your appearance fees would increase significantly. You could earn tens of thousands just by participating in a performance, which is way more than selling clothes tirelessly, and much easier.

So, if you want to earn more money, you can't be afraid of trouble or exposure. Brother Feng is right, even if the report comes out to smear you, you can use the opportunity to hype yourself, increase your exposure, and get more people to know you."

Lin Yujiao was eventually persuaded.

She never thought of becoming a big star, but she did want to make more money. If performance fees started at a hundred thousand, there was no reason to refuse.

After a quick tidy up, the three of them headed to the local police station, which was where Qin Zhen worked.

With the help of their acquaintance Qin Zhen, and the recorded phone calls and WeChat logs, reporting the case went smoothly. They quickly issued a criminal summons for Ge Dong, and the station soon dispatched officers to summon him.

The police efficiency was commendable. Chen Feng and the others waited for less than half an hour before the suspect, Ge Dong, was brought in.

The three of them saw him in the hall. Ge Dong had initially been guessing who had reported him. He wondered if it was Lin Yujiao, but thought it couldn't be her as the report and police response and his capture happened so quickly.

Just two or three hours earlier, he had contacted the other party's manager. And in just this short time, they reported it and the police detained him so quickly.

So, he suspected it was one of his former successful blackmail victims, but no matter how much he thought, he came up empty.

On the way, he asked the investigating officer who reported the case, but of course, they wouldn't answer that question.

He could only keep guessing who it could be.

When he saw Lin Yujiao in the hall, he had to accept that it was indeed her who reported it. He had underestimated her before and made a serious misjudgment.

He had thought she came from a humble background, with only a junior high education and had faced life's difficulties, so he assumed she wouldn't have the courage for such a response.

But now, looking at the situation, he was completely wrong about her.

However, her nerve and the police being able to catch him so quickly made him admire their efficiency, while also suspecting if there was something behind the scenes.

Does Lin Yujiao have some influential backer or support he doesn't know about?

Previously, he hadn't investigated Zhao Bo thoroughly and didn't know he had an impressive uncle, which resulted in him getting a beating.

Now, he might have also failed to understand Lin Yujiao's real background and is facing obstacles again.

Despite being a paparazzi for several years, keenly aware of people's affairs, when he saw Lin Yujiao, he quickly noticed the presence of Chen Feng and Jin Xinyan by her side.

He wasn't too concerned about Jin Xinyan being a beauty, but Chen Feng, this handsome man, was someone he couldn't ignore.

Chen Feng was no longer the despondent man after his divorce; he was now a successful businessman with assets worth millions, possessing a natural aura of authority.

Ge Dong had been a paparazzi for these years, encountering all kinds of people, and quickly sensed Chen Feng's distinctiveness, especially as he was present right next to Lin Yujiao.

There was nothing else to understand — Chen Feng, if not Lin Yujiao's relative, must be in a romantic or protective relationship with her, being her powerful supporter.

With that realization, Ge Dong wanted to slap himself.

Today was definitely his unlucky day; he not only blackmailed the wrong target by choosing Lin Yujiao, a grassroots singer, as an easy target but also selected Zhao Bo as a subject to trail, which was also a grave mistake.

While the latter mistake was somewhat redeemable, given getting beaten was part of the risk.

Choosing the former, however, might really land him in jail.

Ge Dong regretful, lamenting, yet there's no chance to undo his actions.

Now, he could only focus on finding a good lawyer, hopefully one to exculpate him, or at least lessen his sentence as much as possible.

About half an hour later, Qin Zhen came over to Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao, exchanging a few words, giving Lin Yujiao a huge relief.

The discussion was about Ge Dong's confession, stating his negative report hadn't been sent to others. After police warnings, he dared not send it to anyone else, effectively nullifying it.

With this conclusion, the three left the station, knowing they needn't worry much about the aftermath, and that Ge Dong would certainly face the harshness of the law.
