The Official Announcement

The situation had already become quite precarious. Now, the paparazzi had sent a cooperation request, and Qiao Du replied with Gu Pianpian's terms of reconciliation. Both conditions were quite easy to handle, and one could even say there was no difficulty at all. This unexpected turn of events felt like a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation. It surprised Huo Qing'ang to some extent.

After downloading and saving the document with the list of names and electronic evidence, Huo Qing'ang closed his computer. He didn't respond to the paparazzi's email or Qiao Du's text message. He had no intention of making the paparazzi's lives any easier. How could he justify rewarding their extortion and betrayal?
