Xiao Yufan dialed Lin Jiayao’s phone again. He had to warn Lunhui to stay vigilant, so that the enemy wouldn’t find an opportunity to strike—not directly at him, but instead target Lunhui Film & Television Company.
“Honey, you really crippled Chen Jiawei?!”
Upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Lin Jiayao’s first reaction was surprise, quickly followed by concern.
“This guy is nothing but a disgrace to the entertainment industry. Making sure he can never touch another woman again might have actually saved many women…”
“Although he’s despicable, no one has dared to touch him. Rumor has it he has a twin brother involved in the underworld in Shanxi, a big shot throughout the entire province!”
Because of Guan Tiansuo, Lin Jiayao had already thoroughly investigated Chen Jiawei in Beijing. What she discovered explained exactly why Chen had thrived so well in the entertainment industry.
“Shanxi? Perfect. I was planning to head there anyway. I actually hope his so-called twin brother shows up!”
A cold smirk appeared on Xiao Yufan’s lips as he laughed. He didn’t take Chen Jiawei seriously at all, let alone his twin brother. If Chen was such a scoundrel, his brother couldn’t possibly be any better.
“Just be careful, okay? I know you’re not afraid of him, but I’m worried they might try something underhanded…”
Lin Jiayao knew her husband’s strength, so she didn’t say much else. She was simply concerned they might resort to underhanded tactics against Xiao Yufan. After all, enemies in the shadows were sometimes impossible to guard against.
“Don’t worry. By the way, I’ve found a new talent for Lunhui Film & Television. She’ll come to you in a few days—see if you can groom her. Like you, she loves the stage…”
“Must be another woman…”
Upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Lin Jiayao sounded slightly displeased. She thought to herself that she shouldn’t have allowed Tianxuan and Qingluan to accompany him to Linjiang. Those two girls had spoiled him too much!
“Is my wife actually jealous? Remember, you’re the goddess everyone admires…”
Xiao Yufan coughed awkwardly. He couldn’t possibly tell the truth. Thinking about Jiang Rou’s first kiss gave him an odd feeling—he felt responsible for the girl, and was actually quite willing to take responsibility for a beauty.
“Like I’d believe that! Looks like Tianxuan and Qingluan can’t control you anymore, letting you flirt around in Linjiang…”
“Never again, never again!” Xiao Yufan laughed, somewhat admitting his relationship with Jiang Rou. Thinking about all the women around him suddenly gave him a headache. Being too charming wasn’t always a good thing.
“I believe your taste, so I’m certain that woman, after being polished, will become someone worthy of being placed on a pedestal…”
Lin Jiayao was a smart woman. If she wasn’t mistaken, that woman must be Xiao Yufan’s girl. She would only focus on building a good relationship with her and turning her into a top-tier movie star—something simple enough for her.
“I believe in your ability, but you mustn’t make her feel uncomfortable. After all, no one likes charity or forced help…”
Xiao Yufan feared Jiang Rou might misunderstand something. Even if Jiayao wanted to help her, it had to be done gradually. If she were suddenly thrust into the spotlight, she might not handle it well.
“I understand. You also be careful in Linjiang. Once things settle down at Lunhui, I, along with Yi Han and Menglu, will come over…”
“Unfair! Why are you so nice to her? I’ve never seen you think about me like that!”
Muttering softly, Lin Jiayao finally spoke. Though slightly annoyed, her displeasure quickly faded. If she were truly petty, how could she have allowed him to have so many women?
Meanwhile, in a luxurious club, one of the Northern Young Lords, Situ Wenchang, met with Gao Hong.
“Wenchang, why hasn’t the boss made any move yet? Didn’t we agree to make that guy’s life impossible in the North? Why hasn’t he done anything?”
Gao Hong, also one of the Northern Young Lords, not only had the Gao family’s backing but had thrived in the underworld. He believed himself second only to their boss and certainly didn’t consider Xiao Yufan a threat.
“I don’t know what the boss is thinking. But the situation is special now. Our positions as the Northern Young Lords have drawn too much attention. Many people are unhappy, so the boss must have more on his plate than we do.”
Compared to Gao Hong, Situ Wenchang wanted Xiao Yufan out of the North even more. With the old master’s protection, he couldn’t compete for the head of the Situ family. Yet in the North, he still wouldn’t be weaker than Xiao Yufan.
“Who dares? I, Gao Hong, will make sure they regret it…”
Although Gao Hong was also one of the Northern Young Lords, compared to Situ Wenchang and Luan Tianyu, he only had the Gao family’s support. Yet his ambitions were huge.
“By the way, the boss is already very unhappy about you attacking Xiao Yufan on your own. I hope you won’t take any major actions next. The boss doesn’t want to offend too many people at once. It’s better to wait for his arrangements regarding that person!”
Since their last encounter with Xiao Yufan, Situ Wenchang had grown cautious. If even Dong Fanghaoran had been crippled by him, Situ certainly didn’t want to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
“Wenchang, since when have you become so cowardly? He’s your sworn enemy! Without him, you might already be the head of the Situ family!”
Upon hearing Situ Wenchang’s words, Gao Hong’s anger flared. The Northern Young Lords couldn’t even handle one man and had to keep backing down? That would ruin their reputation.
“That’s none of your business. But regarding your unauthorized inspection team last time, the boss already knows. Handle it carefully yourself…”
Situ Wenchang frowned, unwilling to continue arguing with this arrogant man. In his eyes, Gao Hong probably thought he could do whatever he wanted in the North, but without the Gao family, he was nothing.
When Situ Wenchang mentioned the inspection team, Gao Hong finally understood the meaning behind his words—the boss was already extremely displeased with the incident.
“Xiao Yufan? Seems I underestimated you. But even if they’re unwilling to act, that doesn’t mean I won’t!”
Watching Situ Wenchang leave, a cold glint appeared in Gao Hong’s eyes. Although he had no personal grudge against Xiao Yufan, he absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone stronger than him in the North…
