As it happened, Boss Long was also on vacation in Hangcheng City. Back in Capital City, he was a truly powerful figure!
"You’re dead at, Shen Fanyun! Not only did you offend Sister Wen today, you’ve also offended Boss Long!" Li Juan fud.
SLAP!
Shen Fanyun’s hand whipped out, sending Li Juan sprawling to the ground once more.
"Haven’t you learned your lesson? When your master is speaking, why do you, a dog, always feel the need to butt in?" Shen Fanyun sneered.
Bright red blood trickled from Li Juan’s mouth and nose. The slap left her trembling, her teeth clenched in frustration and anger after so many years of following Wen Ruyue. When had anyone ever dared to treat her like this in Wen Ruyue’s presence, right in front of her own master?
I swear, once this is over, I’ll find a way to torture that Shen Fanyun to death. So what if you’re rich? What’s so great about being a big shot financier? There are plenty of rich people in this world, many who are even richer than Shen Fanyun—like Boss Long! Once I see Boss Long, I’ll plead my case. I’ll get him to personally step in and teach Shen Fanyun a lesson!
Wen Ruyue gasped. Shen Fanyun was too brutal. This was no place to linger; she wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Are you sure you want to leave?" Shen Fanyun didn’t try to stop her. He stepped aside, his tone indifferent. "As you wish."
"As for the consequences, you’ll bear them yourself."
"You..." Wen Ruyue faltered, hesitating.
This whole ss started because of Lu Feiyan. If that newcor hadn’t burst onto the scene, I wouldn’t have targeted her. And I certainly wouldn’t have been dragged into such a huge uproar. But... I’ve used my connections and resources to target and slander competitors with rumors plenty of tis before. How did the sa little tricks that always worked so easily backfire so completely today? Is a newcor like Lu Feiyan really this hard to deal with? This is just bizarre!
"You can get lost now," Shen Fanyun said, lighting a cigarette and walking away.
Wen Ruyue stood stunned. He was completely unconcerned about whether she stayed or left. Such a confident attitude proved that Shen Fanyun believed he could crush her in one go, completely robbing her of any chance for a coback.
"Sister Wen, let’s go," Li Juan said softly, pulling on Wen Ruyue’s arm. She didn’t know the full story or the details. Right now, she had only one thought: get Wen Ruyue out of there and find Long Qingwen to plead for his help.
Surely, with Boss Long’s network and imnse power, dealing with Shen Fanyun would be as easy as taking sothing from his own pocket, right? I’ve witnessed the imposing aura and invincible presence of Boss Long more than once. Why, a single command from him would probably be enough to make Shen Fanyun co crawling to beg for forgiveness!
"Let’s go," Li Juan urged again.
Wen Ruyue truly couldn’t stand the environnt and atmosphere. After hesitating for two seconds, she nodded and followed Li Juan off the set.
"You’re in for it now, Shen Fanyun! You’ve really ssed up today, just you wait!" Li Juan shouted loudly before she left, as if yelling would relieve the frustration pent up inside her.
As for Director Wang Xiao and the rest of the crew, they just stood there dumbfounded, both confused and unsure of what to do. The supporting actress was gone, which ant they couldn’t continue filming. Not only that, but the main sponsor and the biggest star, Wen Ruyue, had co to blows. It seed like today was just the appetizer; the real showdown was yet to co. This was unreal...
"Director, what should we do now?" a crew mber asked Wang Xiao cautiously.
Wang Xiao just spread his hands. He didn’t know either. Shen Fanyun clearly had no interest in them. It was as if the huge sum spent to hire them ant nothing at all.
"Take a break. Wait for news," Wang Xiao ordered.
anwhile, Shen Fanyun strolled over to Lu Feiyan with his hands clasped behind his back.
"She’s gone?" Lu Feiyan asked, puzzled. "What ga are you playing?"
After all that effort and fanfare to lure Wen Ruyue here and trap her, he just let her walk away after a war of words. What is he trying to pull?
"Why bother with a re buffoon?" Shen Fanyun said with a grin, confident that everything was under control.
Lu Feiyan was still confused. "But..."
"For people like her, you have to hit them so hard they’ll never forget it. Beating her isn’t the point. Tornting her... now that’s the way to do it," Shen Fanyun said with a wicked smile.
"..."
"You’re just bored," Lu Feiyan sighed.
Shen Fanyun shook his head. "When it cos to you, things have to be handled properly. I’m not bored at all. In fact, I’m having a blast."
Lu Feiyan wrapped her arms around Shen Fanyun’s neck and mumbled, "I’m hungry."
She had been dieting for days to prepare for her debut and maintain her figure. She couldn’t eat any of the things she loved and craved, and she felt like her taste buds were about to give up entirely.
"Alright, I’ll take you out to eat," Shen Fanyun nodded.
"Yay!" Lu Feiyan’s face lit up, and she began to cheer.
「anwhile」
Inside a luxury van, Wen Ruyue was still restless, her expression heavy with thought.
"Don’t worry, Sister Wen. Once Boss Long steps in, that guy will pay the price for his arrogance!" Li Juan said confidently, hissing in pain from her split lip. That Shen Fanyun had hit her so viciously; it made her wish she could just slap him to death. "Boss Long has always cared for you and has been hoping for a chance to show you what he’s capable of. This ti, he finally has his chance to shine!"
After a long silence, Wen Ruyue spoke softly, "Juan, you know that Long Qingwen has always had designs on , don’t you?"
That man... he does carry so weight and power in Capital City. But I really can’t stand being around Long Qingwen. He’s ugly and greasy, and the sight of him just repulses . It isn’t simple dislike; it’s a deep-seated revulsion. Normally, I avoid him at all costs. If I rush to him now, will he use this as an excuse to make a move on ? Will he get handsy, or even try to force himself on ?
But facing this much trouble in Hangcheng City, there was no ti to call in her own connections. She had to rely on soone local. Besides, Long Qingwen was undeniably capable and could get her out of this ss.
"He’s just a man. Give him a little sothing sweet to keep him on the hook for now," Li Juan said, not thinking much of it.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Wen Ruyue made up her mind. She would ask Long Qingwen for help.
When Li Juan called Long Qingwen and told him that Wen Ruyue had been bullied, he was predictably furious. He ranted about how soone could be so suicidal as to dare offend Wen Ruyue in this day and age, declaring that it was no different from seeking death. He imdiately took charge of the matter, guaranteeing he would handle it beautifully.
"Ruyue’s business is my business! I’d like to see which little bastard dares to bully my Ruyue! Hah!" Long Qingwen declared righteously, his tone full of bravado.
"Boss Long, with you taking charge, we can finally relax a little," Li Juan said. "Sister Wen was so moved by your generous words that she started crying. Thank you, really, thank you!"
They exchanged locations and agreed to et at a neutral spot.
"It’s settled. Boss Long agreed to help," Li Juan bead, gripping her phone. She spoke with vicious delight, "You’re dead at this ti, Shen! I, Li Juan, have never been one to be trifled with! Just you wait, you’re in deep trouble now!"
