Chapter 254: 254 wants to raise me? Line up behind?

Early the next morning, Kong Lin, who had spent a frenzied night in the office lounge with Qu Chong, rubbed against him before leaving and said, “Now that An Lan, that mad dog, knows about us, we can’t control her anymore. If she lets our secret out…”

“She wouldn’t dare!” Qu Chong, holding Kong Lin’s arm, reprimanded, “Unless she wants to die.”

Hearing the words “wants to die,” Kong Lin simply lay on Qu Chong’s chest and said, “Brother Chong, since the master has said she won’t live long, why don’t we just help the process along? Our Tianwang Building parking lot is almost empty at night. How about we turn off the surveillance and find some people to take good care of her and then send her off to the hospital? Life and death are predetermined, and it would have nothing to do with us.”

After listening to Kong Lin, Qu Chong looked at her with complexity and then asked, “Do you really hate that bitch that much?”

“I’m scared. She’s becoming more and more arrogant. I fear she might destroy me and I’ll have nothing left, Brother Chong. You love me so much, please agree to this just this once,” Kong Lin cooed, “You know how hard I’ve worked to get here, Brother Chong, please help me.”

Qu Chong couldn’t resist Kong Lin’s coquettish tone, which specially tugged at his heartstrings. Charmed by the beauty, he forgot everything, “Alright, as long as you stay by my side obediently, you can have whatever you want.”

Kong Lin was so anxious to deal with Shi Lan because she was afraid that her relationship with the master would be exposed by Shi Lan.

If Qu Chong found out she was meddling, all her years of effort would be in vain.

Therefore, don’t blame her for being ruthless…

…

At the same time, Shi Lan had already returned to the film crew.

But because of the tight filming schedule, the documents Shi Lan had taken from Huahai could only be reviewed in the evening.

Huo Zhao had gone back to Yancheng, but since Shi Lan had three scenes to shoot in the morning, both Tang Ze and Huo Zhao could only wait in the hotel.

After the morning’s shooting ended and the crew moved to another location, Chen Beini caught up with Shi Lan and asked, “Honey, have you cleared your debts?”

“Cleared,” Shi Lan replied.

“Then aren’t you down to nothing now?” Chen Beini asked again. “I…”

“Did you forget I also have a husband?” Shi Lan countered, “Want to support me? Get in line.”

“No, I have new fashion resources now, and I’m on good terms with the other party. I can bring you along. Since everyone knows we’re a couple, they want to shoot a sister-themed issue, so you were the first person I thought of,” Chen Beini explained.

After hearing this, Shi Lan finally stopped in her tracks and asked Chen Beini, “Trying to butter me up?”

“Because I know, with Tianwang, that crappy company, you can’t get any resources…”

Watching Chen Beini’s sincere expression, Shi Lan sighed, patted her on the head, and said, “Sweetheart, I have my own plans. I still have contracts to honor. Even if you give me resources now, in the end, I’d just be working for Tianwang. So, walk your own path well, and one day, we’ll meet at the peak.”

Chen Beini felt an involuntary shiver from Shi Lan’s gentle pat, wondering if she might really have switched sides.

But really, her couple partner is quite attractive!

Having said that, Shi Lan left the set with Sun Ling. When they returned to the hotel room, both Tang Ze and Huo Zhao were there.

“Boss, these are all the findings Huo Zhao gathered in a day and a night.”

Tang Ze pushed the documents on the coffee table towards Shi Lan, “Your deductions weren’t bad—the Master Wuzhen indeed has many issues. His real name is Yang Shuzhong, orphaned early and raised by his uncle. It might have been due to long-term oppression from his uncle and aunt that he left home as soon as he became an adult to make a living in the Coastal region. But with little education and a reluctance to endure hardship, he soon resorted to devious ways and began stealing for a living. At the age of twenty-two, he even caused severe injury during a burglary and was sentenced to fifteen years in prison.”

“At thirty-seven, Yang Shuzhong was released from prison, still living a precarious life, until he encountered temples and public morality.”

“It’s unclear whom he followed as a disciple, but after mingling in several temples, he actually gained some fame. However, two years later, he disappeared from the Coastal region and appeared in Yancheng.”

“Huo Zhao and I both believe that during those two years, he must have been involved in other incidents.”

“By the way, in the Coastal region, he wasn’t called Yang Shuzhong; he was known as Yang Song.”

“All this information was obtained by Huo Zhao, who enlisted the help of a friend from the police. From what we see now, this Yang Shuzhong is completely a fraudster.”

After listening to Tang Ze’s explanation, Shi Lan also finished going through the documents in her hand.

“Boss, what should we do now?”

“This evidence isn’t sufficient to prove his fraudulence, I’m now pinning my hopes on those crucial two years. So, Huo Zhao might need to make another trip. I want to dismantle his temple and then deliver him as a gift to the police,” Shi Lan said, “While we wait for further news, I’ll arrange a dramatic scene to let the Qu Family brothers truly understand what sort of person their revered master really is.”

“But this master is very cautious; he’s not easy to invite.”

“It’s not difficult, as long as you are willing… to pay. When the time comes, I’ll disguise myself as a Japanese businessman developing in Yancheng and consult him for Feng Shui. Do you think he would pass up a good business opportunity?” Shi Lan retorted.

“Boss, your Japanese…”

“It’s about N1 level, good enough to get by?” Shi Lan replied.

“Just getting by?”

“Don’t believe her when she says ‘just getting by.'” Sun Ling jabbed Tang Ze in the ribs.

Tang Ze nodded in agreement, profoundly feeling it: “Right, can’t trust it.”

Shi Lan chuckled lightly, placed the documents back on the table, and, looking at Huo Zhao, said, “Little brother, hiring a bodyguard is a mutual choice. If you feel I’m not worthy of your protection, I also can’t entrust my safety to someone who hesitates. So, we both need some time to adjust.”

So, all that talk about Huo Zhao looking too much like Yan Shixiu and being hard to command was just her excuse.

Shi Lan, for her part, was wary of trusting others’ sincerity easily, yet she was particularly acute in sensing any hostility or defensiveness towards herself.

Although Huo Zhao wore a mask, his eyes betrayed his astonishment.

He didn’t think he had made his feelings that obvious, but Shi Lan had discerned his most genuine thoughts.

“I’d actually prefer you to protect Yan Shixiu, as he currently needs it more. But since he went through so much trouble to find you, I don’t want to reject his arrangements. It’s not because I need you, but because I need you to be available to support him whenever necessary.”

Sun Ling and Tang Ze listened, baffled by the you, me, and him.

But Huo Zhao understood her clearly.

Shi Lan kept him because the Shuangshi had not yet solidified, and the businessmen in Yancheng had not yet recognized the fear Yan Shixiu commanded.
