Lian Sihan’s answer caused the Ling Yichuan’s hand that was holding the cell phone to tighten slightly. After a moment, he suddenly lowered his voice, “Help me look into a person!”

After ending the call, he finished the red wine in his hand in one gulp. An unknown emotion flashed across his eyes.

Ji Liunian? Even if I have to turn Onyx City upside down, we will definitely meet again!

Recalling her last threat, an evil glint flashed across his eyes.

“Won’t let you off”? I’d like to see how you “won’t let me off”.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious villa in Onyx City.

A beautiful woman in a black lace bra and black thong was leaning against the balcony. Even without makeup, there was no hiding her beautiful face. Her chestnut-colored long hair was slightly curled and fell casually over her shoulders—covering half of her beautiful curves—and added to her charm.

She turned around secretively and glanced at the bathroom door that was closed. Then, she grabbed her cell phone and lowered her voice to make a call. “How did it go?”

A woman’s uneasy voice emanated from the other end. “M-Miss Xu, I’m sorry! When I brought the reporters over today and knocked on the door, there was no one inside!”

“What did you say?!” Xu Xin’er’s voice changed. Her eyes—which were usually pitiful in front of the camera—shot a trace of viciousness. “I paid you so much money, but you can’t even handle such a small matter?”

Gao Youyi was on the verge of tears. “I-I don’t know either! I got her drunk last night. After I helped her in—other than going to the bathroom once—I kept watch here all night. I contacted the reporters first thing in the morning! I even lied to the hotel staff and said that I left my things in the room. But, when I opened the door, she… she was gone!”

“Imbecile!” Xu Xin’er was exasperated. Gao Youyi realized her blunder and stammered, “M-Miss Xu… Even if Ji Liunian knows that I did it, there’s no evidence… There… There’s still a chance in future!”

“You can’t even handle such a small thing. What else can I expect you to do the next time?!” Xu Xin’er’s delicate brows furrowed fiercely. She was so angry that she wanted to smash the cell phone! What “future” was there? If she could not catch her red-handed within this month… By the time Ji Liunian and Yu Yichen got married, it would be too late!

What else was more unacceptable to the Yu family than the scandal of their prospective daughter-in-law having sex with another man before marriage?

She did not expect her meticulous plan to be ruined by that nincompoop, Gao Youyi!

Just as she was about to say something, a slender arm suddenly wrapped around her from behind.

Xu Xin’er froze and turned around. It was Yu Yichen.

“What are you talking about? Hmm? I heard you. You seem to be angry.” Yu Yichen was only wearing a bathrobe, and water droplets were still dripping from his hair. He was obviously fresh from a shower and sneaked behind her, planning to give her a surprise.

“Yeah, it’s my assistant.” Xu Xin’er ended the call without batting an eyelid and turned off her cell phone. She turned around and wrapped her fair arm around Yu Yichen’s neck. Her smile was gentle and sweet. “I have to film tonight, but the costumes and props aren’t ready yet. She’s flustered and called me.”
