    Wang Bing looked at Wen Nian in disbelief with tears in her eyes.


    Wen Nian asked again, “Are you willing to let yourself be ruined like this? Don’t you want to fight back?”


    Wang Bing bit her lip, tears continuously streaming down her face, but she remained silent. She didn’t know what to say.


    It happened during apany gathering. At that time, she was still inexperienced, curious about everything in the entertainment industry. Among her ssmates were some outstanding female peers, and she had to use connections to get a chance to meet a famous director. Moreover, Wu Gang seemed genuinely impressive at first, and she thought she had found her mentor.


    However, on that day, Wu Gang took her away, and under coercion, she was vited.


    In the end, Wu Gang threatened her. If she dared to speak about the incident, he would ruin her reputation and make sure she couldn’t survive in the entertainment industry, possibly even in the capital.


    Wang Bing waspletely panicked. She had no connections in thepany, no backing, and only her agent, Sister Wang, genuinely cared for her. However, she didn’t dare to speak about this matter. She didn’t want to see the disappointed look in Sister Wang’s eyes, and she didn’t want to be judged and criticized by others.


    So, afterwards, no matter how Wu Gang tried to approach her, she wouldn’t go out alone with him. She remained extremely cautious.


    Wu Gang did provide her with some opportunities, but these were assigned by thepany, something she only found outter. Afterward, she informed Wang Jie, rejecting Wu Gang’s goodwillpletely and treating him withplete disdain. She wouldn’t attend any events forced by thepany either.


    She thought that over the past few years, with Wu Gang having other female celebrities around him, he wouldn’t bother her anymore, and this matter would be forgotten. Little did she expect Wu Gang to shamelessly release the video.


    She knew that Wu Gang did it to tarnish her image and undermine Xu Chang’s movie. However, she didn’t dare to step forward. She didn’t know what the consequences would be if she did.


    Looking at her, Wang Bing felt on the verge of copse. The only trace of color on her lips had vanished, and she kept shaking her head, unable to stop her tears.


    Wen Nian took a step forward, firmly grasping her hand. “I know it’s not your fault. You’re the victim here. So, are you willing to let the one who harmed you go unpunished?”


    Upon hearing Wen Nian say this, not just Wang Bing, even Tian Juan and Wang Li were astonished. Both agents were astute individuals and quickly detected something amiss in Wen Nian’s words.


    Wang Li hurriedly held onto Wang Bing and anxiously asked, “Bing Bing, tell me, were you forced? Who is that person?”


    Tian Juan stepped back, holding Wen Nian and signaling her with her eyes.


    Seeing that Wang Bing still didn’t want to speak, Wen Nian took a deep breath and said, “When I came to the capitalst year, Wu Gang had someone kidnap me. Shen Jun and Zhang Lin were also present, and they rescued me. That’s how I escaped unharmed.”


    Her tone was calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.


    “Wu Gang got beaten up, but he didn’t dare to publicize the incident. After all, members of the Shen and Zhang families were there. He wouldn’t gain any benefits by revealing it.”


    Wen Nian stared at Wang Bing. “If my guess is correct, that person is Wu Gang, right?”


    Wang Bing widened her eyes and looked at Wen Nian in disbelief. She didn’t know how Wen Nian knew about this. She didn’t tell anyone.


    Wang Li also sensed a problem and became somewhat agitated. “Bing Bing, tell me, is what Wen Nian said true? Is it Wu Gang? Did he force you? Why didn’t you tell me?”


    Seeing Wang Li’s emotions getting out of control, Tian Juan quickly pulled her aside andforted her.


    Wen Nian approached Wang Bing and firmly held her hand. “This kind of thing can’t be concealed forever. The video has been released; sooner orter, someone with ulterior motives will use it. Do you really want to spend your entire life in the mire, never toe out again? It’s not your fault. Why should you bear all of this?”


    “Is it not my fault?” Wang Bing, as if clutching at a lifeline, held onto Wen Nian tightly. “Is this really not my fault?”


    All along, she had felt that she was at fault in this matter. If she could not socialize for a small profit, if she could bravely reject Wu Gang, and if she could call the police immediately, perhaps she would not be at fault.


    However, she did not do that. In order to have more opportunities to stand out, she specially curried favor with Wu Gang and even obtained the resources Wu Gang gave her. How could she not be at fault?


    “It’s not your fault.” Wen Nian emphatically squeezed her hand. “This was never your fault; you’re the victim..”
