Chapter 1682: Girl Abante’s Downfall (Part II)

The reporter appeared holding a microphone as she spoke to the camera. Behind her looked like a lobby where several of the former celebrities who accused Girl Abante were gathered.

"We are in court right now, where 19 individuals have come—15 of them former celebrities, while 4 are former directors, assistants, and staff members. These 19 individuals are now filing formal lawsuits with their team of lawyers against the producer and talk show host, Girl Abante.

"According to their team of lawyers, there are more individuals than these 19 who are planning to file additional lawsuits against Girl Abante in the coming days. The others are currently on their way to the capital from other parts of the country, with some even coming from abroad. Most of them had fled in disgrace to faraway places after their careers were destroyed—allegedly by Girl Abante.

"Girl Abante will need to face a class-action lawsuit, in addition to several individual lawsuits. Our news staff have attempted to contact Girl Abante, but so far, she has not responded in any way. We will update you regarding this case."

After the showbiz entertainment segment of the morning news program ended, Iris and the others remained stunned—all except for Jin Liwei.

He wasn’t surprised at all.

This was what he had been working on two nights ago. He had coordinated with his two AI cat children and Lu Zihao (Nikolai) to dig up incriminating evidence against Girl Abante.

Hacking could only glean so much information. In a society ruled by unnecessary bureaucracy at all levels, most of the processes were still done by paperwork. Only a small portion was stored digitally. In this kind of system, hacking wouldn’t help much.

They needed actual people to come in person to investigate.

Bacon had realized that he and ShaWn couldn’t dig any deeper than what Ketchup had compiled into Girl Abante’s original dossier. The black AI cat could only ask his Uncle Zihao for help.

Lu Zihao chose a handful of his subordinates to take charge and commanded them to investigate. He had chosen these subordinates as they had been notorious mercenaries in the Southeast Asian region.

These subordinates immediately headed to the Philippines, but not before contacting their former colleagues for assistance. For such a generous price, their former colleagues began investigating even before Lu Zihao’s subordinates arrived in the Philippines.

Once they had arrived in the Philippines, their former colleagues had already gathered substantial incriminating evidence against Girl Abante. They immediately forward the evidence to Bacon and ShaWn.

Then Jin Liwei had begun to move.

He had asked Ketchup for a list of the best law firms in the Philippines specializing in catering to celebrities and public figures.

Why?

Because most of these law firms had a flair for the dramatic.

Hiring them meant that Girl Abante’s case would sweep the nation, turning it into a scandal that would drag her down, just like what she had done to the many former celebrities whose careers she had destroyed throughout the years.

After choosing a law firm from Ketchup’s list, he delegated the contact process to Ketchup’s company, White Tigress International Virtual Assistants Services, minimizing his traces in the case as much as possible.

Ketchup had assigned a Filipino virtual assistant with the best track record in her company to be her father’s correspondent. The virtual assistant contacted the law firm that Jin Liwei had chosen and hired them to represent the former celebrities in filing lawsuits against Girl Abante.

By that time, Lu Zihao’s subordinates and their former mercenary colleagues had already gathered Girl Abante’s victims.

Most of the victims immediately agreed to cooperate with the law firm. Now that someone was giving them a platform to call out the injustice that they had suffered under Girl Abante’s tyranny, there was no chance in hell that they would cower.

Their lives after falling from grace had already been hellish, their reputations in tatters.

They wouldn’t lose anything by coming forward to seek justice, especially now that someone had promised to protect and compensate them as long as they agreed to fight it out against Girl Abante in court and in the media.

Their assigned mission was simple—destroy Girl Abante’s reputation just like how she had destroyed theirs.

They were more than willing to do so. They had been waiting for this kind of opportunity for a long time!

Back to the present, Jin Liwei released a sigh of relief.

He had done his part in safeguarding his wife.

As per his agreement with his brother-in-law Nikolai before, Jin Liwei would be in charge of protecting his wife and their family in the "light" while Nikolai would continue in the "shadows".

The others’ chatter interrupted his thoughts.

"That’s horrible!" Dom exclaimed, looking enraged after hearing about the testimonies of the former celebrities. "I looked up to Girl Abante because I thought that she was a strong, independent woman, but she’s nothing but a villainess! Those poor people! My tender heart aches for them!"

"Accepting her interview invitation is proving to be a big miscalculation on my part," Iris said with a heavy sigh. "I never expected her to be a good person. I only expected her to be good at her job as an interviewer since she’s one of the most famous talk show hosts in this country. Now that she’s embroiled in this scandal, I don’t think my interview with her will be broadcast anymore. I feel like I just wasted my time with her."

After saying this, she could only shrug. "Oh, well. After experiencing that woman’s rudeness, I don’t want to have anything to do with her anymore anyway. My time is expensive, so let’s just say I fed those two hours I lost with her to the dogs."
