“I see. Last night at the dinner, I thought you and Mr. Lin are good friends,” Luosang shrugged and said.
‘Alright, since you like pretending, I’ll pretend with you,’ she thought.
“Luosang, go take these few bags downstairs and put them in the car,” Jian Fei pointed at the bags with her chin while giving an order.
“Sure,” Luosang lifted the bags, then turned and left. Right after that, Jian Fei shut the door and asked Zhong Yi, “Why is Mr. Lin arrested? Didn’t you say that nothing would go wrong? Did Xu Luosang do that?”
“Gu Feng has earned its fame because of its solid background. Which ordinary person would dare to lay a finger on it? Even the police wouldn’t arrest anyone from that club without consideration. Could the powerless Xu Luosang possibly manage to do that?” Said Zhong Yi with a serious face, “Maybe the club owners have offended someone. Xu Luosang was really lucky last night. I can’t believe I’ve failed to destroy her last night.”
“Mr. Lin is arrested in an anti-vice action, so if anyone knows that you had dinner with him in the club last night...” Jian Fei glanced at Zhong Yi with hesitation, then continued, “If the public knows, things will become a little troublesome. People may think that you were making some kind of improper trade with Xu Group and Mr. Lin.”
The look in Zhong Yi’s face changed as she said, “Xu Luosang knows.”
Jian Fei closed her eyes and said, “Don’t overthink the issue. Even if there would really be a problem, Mr. Yi will solve it for you.”
Before her voice faded, Zhong Yi’s cell phone began ringing. Yi Jingxi’s name was showing in the screen.
“Hopefully he’s not calling for that...” Zhong Yi took a deep breath, then answered the phone and immediately heard Yi Jingxi’s icy-cold voice, “I’ve only left for one day. What stupid thing did you do last night?”
Zhong Yi clenched her teeth and said, “Mr. Yi, what’s happening?”
“You’re asking me?” Yi Jingxi sounded quite angry, “Go check in the forums and Weibo yourself. Everyone is saying that you were in Gu Feng club last night before it was closed down. Some people even claimed to have seen you having dinner with Mr. Lin. Do you know what he’s arrested for? Multiple underage girls testified that he had forced them to make improper trades. And, a few girls from the club said that he had drugged them and forced them to sleep with some high-positioned people. The police closed the club down last night, and there’re pictures from the scene.”
Zhong Yi gave a start and asked, “Is there a picture of me?”
“Mr. Yi, I had dinner with Mr. Lin last night because of the project that he’s going to work together with Xu Pictures. I was trying to help you...” she added with a trembling voice.
“When is your turn to help me? Besides, I’ve never even thought about working with someone like him,” said Yi Jingxi wrathfully, “You just can’t do anything right. Now, people are all talking online about how Xu Pictures make their actresses do improper trades with Mr. Lin. They’ve found the film invested by Mr. Lin last year. That’s one of our films. This whole thing has caused a negative influence on the company. If you’re not still useful, I’d have destroyed you already.”
“So-sorry,” Zhong almost cried, “I’ll never do anything like that again without your permission. Mr. Yi, please help me.”
“Watch your behaviors. Gu Feng Club has a strong background, but it was torn down. The club owners must have offended someone really powerful,” Yi Jingxi remained silent for a short while, then said to Zhong Yi with a low voice, “Fortunately, there isn’t a picture of you in the club this time. And the people who’re talking online don’t have any backgrounds. They’re just some fans.”
Zhong Yi sighed with relief. She understood that Yi Jingxi was willing to solve the problem for her. “Thank you,” she said.
