Hu Lai and Kai were both stunned to hear what Xia Peifeng said.
The commotion instantly died down and everyone went into silence. Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Instead of saying congratulations, what did Xia Peifeng just say?
Hu Lai could detect a cold aura radiating from Xia Peifeng, so she smiled awkwardly as she asked, “Mr Xia, what is the meaning of this?”
“My lawyers will let you know.” Xia Peifeng crushed the can of coke crisply leaving soda spraying all over Kai.
Kai was stunned. He disregarded the soda on his clothes as he looked at the entourage of men dressed in black suits standing behind Xia Peifeng solemnly.
The entourage of people behind Xia Peifeng was none other than his legal team!
Kai looked at Deng Yufei in disbelief.
Nancy looked back at Kai calmly. Jennie had written those songs. Since Jennie was not going to sue them, it was no use for Xia Peifeng to show up with his legal team. She was certain Xia Peifeng must be here for something else!
The chief lawyer introduced himself and cut to the chase. “Mr. Chu and Miss Hu, the five songs you have used in your pre-release promotions in your album entitled ‘Sing’ were identical to the songs written by my client, Mr. Xia. Please cease all illegal distribution of your album, remove these songs from it and delete all the files you possess. Also, you have to apologize and compensate for my client’s losses!”
After the lawyer said his piece, Kai was so shocked that he lost his cool and shouted, “What?”
“You have plagiarized my client’s work, so you have to cease all illegal distribution of the songs,” said the lawyer suddenly once more.
Everyone went into a ruckus when they heard this as all eyes gathered on Kai.
“Plagiarism?”
“Oh god! How could that happen?”
Everyone gossiped as they looked at Kai before turning to look at Xia Peifeng.
Xia Peifeng was an acclaimed singer-songwriter at the top of the food chain in the entertainment industry with a long history of producing original work.
Kai was an idol singer with a massive following and a lot of airtime. It was clear who was the winner here.
Before Xia Peifeng even showed any evidence, everyone took his side. After all, this was Xia Peifeng they were talking about here! Xia Peifeng was an unstoppable force in the songwriting trade!
“No wonder the songs sounded so good. Kai had plagiarized Xia Peifeng’s work!”
“I was wondering why there was such a huge change in style in Kai’s latest album.”
“Xia Peifeng certainly lives up to his name. These new songs are simply incredible.”
Kai could hear every word the crowd was saying. He was at a complete loss as his head buzzed incessantly.
Moments later, he finally realized what had just transpired.
“How could this happen?” Kai looked at Xia Peifeng as he spoke.
Xia Peifeng looked unusually distant and cold. He had lost all his typical warmth. He was a gifted singer-songwriter and hated plagiarism with all his heart.
Now that Kai had blatantly copied his work, he could not be bothered to even keep up a courteous smile.
Nancy looked at Nancy once more.
Nancy’s face was ghastly pale as she inhaled deeply and looked at Jennie completely stupefied.
What just happened? How could this happen?
She had copied those songs from Jennie when Jennie was not looking! Also, she deliberately stole the songs that Jennie was not planning to use in the short term. How could they be Xia Peifeng’s songs?
Jennie looked at Nancy calmly in pity
