Number One laughed to ease the awkward atmosphere just now and said, "Yes, Master Nangong has a meticulous scheme. As long as Ling Zhenfei rushes in, the crime of kidnapping Song Jiahui will be pinned on him, and there's no way he can clear his name."

Hearing this, Ling Zhenfei was startled. He had been speculating about their sinister plans, not realizing it was all to set him up.

Originally, Ling Zhenfei thought there might be experts hidden in this room and that he would fall into a trap as soon as he entered. Now he realized he had been somewhat mistaken.

Nangong Changhe's intention wasn't to kill Ling Zhenfei but to ruin his reputation, preferably locking him up in prison for life so that nobody in the Jianghu would remember him anymore.

After understanding Master Le Nangong's plan, Ling Zhenfei finally gave up hope and swiftly made his way out of the community.

As he walked outside the neighborhood, Ling Zhenfei suddenly thought of someone and decided to call him.

Even though it was early morning, the person answered the phone, and his voice sounded full of vigor, suggesting he hadn't rested yet.

"Hello Boss Ling, what made you think of calling me?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Brother Gou, cut the act. You know why I'm calling."

Brother Gou, yes, it's Brother Gou, known as the Top Paparazzi in the entertainment industry, who had given Ling Zhenfei a hard time during the Jiang Hui incident.

In the end, Ling Zhenfei forced him to take a poison, requiring an antidote every month to survive, so hearing Ling Zhenfei's voice, Brother Gou was very nervous.

Brother Gou quickly said, "Boss Ling, is it about all the rumors around you now?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "You know and you ask? How did I warn you back then, do you remember?"

Hearing Ling Zhenfei's displeasure, Brother Gou hurriedly said, "Boss Ling, give me your instructions. Since that time, I've never posted any news about you."

Ling Zhenfei coldly replied, "That's not what I said. I told you back then, even if other paparazzi take pictures of my affairs, how can it not relate to you if I catch you? Did you forget that?"

The Top Paparazzi was frightened and said, "Boss, don't be like this. I can't control others filming. Especially now, my title as the Top Paparazzi is in danger, with several people imitating my path to fame."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I don't care. I'm asking you, who released the big entertainment scandal, and what background do they have?"

The Top Paparazzi replied, "It's a small studio, headquartered in the Capital City, specializing in digging up dirt on celebrities. Last month, they exposed a male celebrity's wife's infidelity; they're quite popular now."

Ling Zhenfei said, "They suddenly expose my matter and filmed such a long documentary. As the Top Paparazzi, you wouldn't know?"

The Top Paparazzi replied, "Boss, I truly don't know. It has nothing to do with me."

Ling Zhenfei was just testing the waters. To become the Top Paparazzi in the entertainment industry, he must have some skills, otherwise, how could he claim the title?

In many past celebrity scandals, the shadow of the Top Paparazzi can be seen, indicating his abilities.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Kid, isn't your antidote too easy to obtain? Do you want to experience that poison taking effect again?"

The Top Paparazzi was terrified, knowing that one experience was enough, and he never wanted a second. He quickly said, "Boss, don't do this. I've told you everything I know."

"Then speak, let's see if what you know is worth an antidote," said Ling Zhenfei coldly.

The Top Paparazzi thought for a moment and said, "Yes, not long ago, someone brought me news, wanting me to do a big entertainment scandal. There was good money in it, promising both fame and fortune.

But seeing you were involved, I turned it down. Unexpectedly, they went ahead and released it anyway. I'm telling the truth."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback; indeed, it was premeditated. It seems this entertainment scandal doesn't wish to play fair.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Do you know who provided you with the information?"

The Top Paparazzi said, "I truly don't know. I never met them; it was all online communication."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Brother Gou, let me tell you this. I've been set up, and their plan is so detailed it could destroy me or lock me in prison for life.

But think, if I'm dead or locked away, who will provide you with the antidote? We are in this together."

The Top Paparazzi said fearfully, "Yes, yes, Boss Ling, you're right. It's my fault for not considering the severity of the situation and not warning you in time. It's my mistake."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Now it's not as simple as whose fault it is. I'm giving you a mission. No, it's not a mission, it's a matter of life and death for you."

"Boss, just say the word. I'll give it my all, also for myself," the Top Paparazzi solemnly assured.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Someone hired Nangong Changhe to deal with me. Everything you've heard is his scheme. I want you to find out who is backing Nangong Changhe.

If we can find that person, we can discuss anything. If not, both of us might be done for."

The Top Paparazzi said, "Leave it to me. I'll definitely complete the task."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I won't let you work for nothing. Isn't that entertainment scandal a threat to you? I'll have someone take care of them."

"That would be great, thank you, Boss."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei felt slightly relieved. Having not fallen into the trap earlier, he now found the Top Paparazzi to uncover the mastermind. Could his luck be changing?

After some thought, Ling Zhenfei dialed Long Hai's number. It had been a long time since he last saw Long Hai and he wondered where Long Hai was now.

Long Hai was a leader of a team within the Central Inspection Team, though currently, his whereabouts were unknown.

But unexpectedly, Long Hai answered the phone quickly.

Long Hai's voice came through the line, "Brother Ling, what makes you think of me?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Big Brother Long, I'm calling for help."

Long Hai apparently was aware of Ling Zhenfei's situation and said, "Fix your own mistakes."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I can handle my own mess, but I can't stand the mud others are throwing at me."

Long Hai was slightly taken aback and said, "You mean someone's framing you?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, or else would I act so rashly?"

Long Hai said, "Then, tell me properly."

Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to explain his situation again, leaving Long Hai in shock.

"Even now, someone is trying to frame you unjustly? Are you serious?"
