I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 612 - 610: Do I Need Evidence to Mess with You?
```
Hu Bufan had already done this kind of thing more than once.
As a top-level celebrity with massive influence, Hu Bufan actually didn't lack female companionship at all, and with a beckoning call, his tens of millions of fans could be lined up from miles away.
But in order to maintain his public persona, he worked hard to put on the appearance of a gentleman, even keeping a proper distance from female celebrities in public on many occasions. His so-called "gentleman's hand" had several times been praised by the public.
However, no one knew that he was actually just not that interested in women who were a bit older; his favorite type was the young girls just out of school—the younger, the more excited he got.
He had many tricks up his sleeve, whether it was selecting roles for music videos or movies. He also loved frequenting bars, where he could easily charm most girls. Occasionally, he would even hunt for his prey on Weibo, then strike using his celebrity halo.
And many girls fell for those halos of his because becoming the girlfriend of a top-tier celebrity was definitely something to boast about. Even if it couldn't be made public, their vanity was greatly satisfied.
Of course, there were times when he encountered some very difficult girls, and Hu Bufan's methods became much meaner, to the extent that he'd stop at nothing.
In fact, similar incidents had been exposed many times, but every time Hu Bufan's studio managed PR very swiftly, often smoothing things over with cash.
As a top figure in the entertainment industry, he calculated his annual income in billions. So, for him, spending a few hundred thousand or a few million to deal with these issues was completely negligible.
This time, he was "selecting his concubines" as usual, and Chen Bingning, who had just left school not long ago, sweet-faced and tall, "luckily" became his prey.
However, he had not anticipated that his sugar-coated shells would be utterly ineffective against Chen Bingning.
As a friend of Lu Yiyao, Chen Bingning indirectly received plenty of resources. Want a house? Zhang Menglong had already given her a large flat in Jiangnan City, with an average price of one hundred thousand per square meter, covering more than two hundred square meters.
Need a car? The Maserati worth over two million had become her daily ride. The unlimited gas and maintenance cards that Zhang Menglong gave her meant that she didn't have to spend a dime on the car.
And then there were various pieces of jewelry. Although not as lavish as Lu Yiyao, she still had several pieces of earrings and necklaces worth tens of thousands of US dollars. Hu Bufan's usual tricks that seduced young girls had no effect on her!
The so-called wealthy upbringing, I guess it has this kind of effect, right? Unless Hu Bufan's offers were increased tenfold, they really meant nothing to her.
In fact, Chen Bingning was puzzled too. After all, she had been a fan of Hu Bufan for five or six years. In her heart, Hu Bufan was an outstanding person, which was why she had chosen to audition for the female lead role today. She just never expected to see another side of Hu Bufan.
Chen Bingning was a girl with very solid principles. Encountering such a situation, she chose to leave right away, but she didn't expect the other party's tactics to be so despicable; she lost consciousness before she could react.
"Mr. Zhang, I never expected you would come to my studio. I have admired you for a long time!" Hu Bufan hurriedly put on his pants and hid his "golden needle mushroom."
Who was Zhang Menglong? If he had not realized who Zhang was after a year of exposure, he'd be practically disconnected from society. Zhang was definitely someone unpredictable, who acted outside the norm and whose thoughts no one could fathom.
Sometimes he appeared like a rich and wasteful second-generation heir, while other times like a justice-filled angry youth. Hu Bufan just couldn't understand why Zhang Menglong would appear here today. Was there something he wanted to collaborate on or was it just a pass-by?
Could it be that Chen Bingning had some relationship with Zhang Menglong?
Thinking of this possibility, Hu Bufan started to tremble. If Chen Bingning was Zhang Menglong's woman, then he was ready to be done for!
The last time, wasn't the boss of Wanyi Music caught doing something similar by Zhang Menglong and Wang Ling, and then got sent straight to prison? And even Wanyi Music ended up being changed into Wanyi Foot Bath. He believed his own studio wasn't much stronger than Wanyi Music.
"Don't bother putting them on; I can't see your 'lil bean sprout' clearly anyway," Zhang Menglong said with contempt. "Ah, such a tall guy, over one meter eighty, it seems all the length went to your height."
```
A series of twitches crossed Hu Bufan's face. Previously, many women had acted alongside him on their own volition, actually liking him, so he had come to believe that he was truly impressive. The sentence Zhang Menglong heard just now had almost become his standard opening line.
"Even that rat Ding has two of you, what a tragedy..."
At this moment, a group of people suddenly burst into the room, frightening Hu Bufan to the point where his pants nearly fell off.
"Bingning!" Seeing Chen Bingning's disheveled appearance, Lu Yiyao and Sun Ruowen immediately gathered around her.
Chen Bingning was still in a dazed state, clearly under the influence of some drug.
Having learned a few things at Super God Academy along with Zhang Menglong, Lu Yiyao quietly used her own ability to purify the drugs from Chen Bingning's system and used her bioelectricity to help her regain consciousness.

Surrounded by a crowd, when Chen Bingning realized her situation, she broke down instantly and buried her head into Lu Yiyao and Sun Ruowen's chests, sobbing softly.
"How can you just barge in here? Everybody out!" The whole scene made Hu Bufan and his agent panic. If only the involved parties were present, even if something happened, there would still be room to maneuver. But if outsiders got involved, the whole situation could spiral out of control.
But to their surprise, the security guards didn't move an inch, completely ignoring Hu Bufan's orders.
"Mr. Zhang, the manager sent us to ensure your safety. Please give us your orders!" said the security team leader respectfully.
Normally, they wouldn't dare to mess with Hu Bufan's studio, but his boss had just informed him that the entire building belonged to the world's richest man, Zhang Menglong. Could Hu Bufan's studio really be more influential than Zhang Menglong? There was no need to ponder which side to take!
"Close the doors. No one is allowed to speak of what happens here. Anyone who learns of today's incident must not be let go. Delete all the surveillance footage of this room from the monitoring room!"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" The security team leader immediately went to carry out the order.
"Menglong, how can you let them delete the footage? That's all evidence!" exclaimed Lu Yiyao in a panic.
"Think carefully, what's more important? The evidence or the girl's honor," Zhang Menglong pointed to the surveillance camera and said, "How many people in this situation end up being threatened by photos and videos and are too scared to speak out? You don't want anyone to see this footage of Chen Bingning, including law enforcers, right?"
"But..."
"Mr. Zhang, I've already had the footage deleted," said the security team leader, who was very quick on his feet.
"Good," Zhang Menglong turned his gaze to Hu Bufan, "Explain today's events!"
Originally frantic, Hu Bufan grew bold when he heard that Zhang Menglong had actually deleted the files.
He couldn't believe that Zhang Menglong would let such important evidence be deleted. Was he insane? Afraid of a leak, couldn't he just delete the original and keep a copy for himself? Now, as long as he denied everything, there was absolutely no evidence left, and with his persona as a 'gentleman' in the entertainment industry, nobody would ever believe he was that kind of person!
"Mr. Zhang, I thought it would be respectful to discuss a solution since we can negotiate," Hu Bufan said.
"There's no negotiation," Zhang Menglong said with a tone that brooked no argument. "Confess to everything you've done, announce your withdrawal from the industry, and turn yourself in. That's your only way out."
"Mr. Zhang, I am showing respect by suggesting we negotiate. Now, you have no evidence. I think it's better for both of us not to turn hostile. My fans' influence might not be something your money can beat!"
"Oh? Really?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "You want evidence? But do you really think I need any evidence to bring you down?"
