Chapter 330: Chapter 325: The Feud Intensifies Beyond Repair Chapter 330: Chapter 325: The Feud Intensifies Beyond Repair Chi Family.
Shen Yan could feel the suffocating oppression from a distance, even before she reached the enclosed gate.
Shen Yan dared not go inside. She sat in the car, her hands turning white from gripping the steering wheel so tightly.
All night long, Shen Yan hadn’t moved an inch, until in the morning, when cars started to drive to the Chi residence one after another. Only then did Shen Yan slowly stir, her cell phone ringing.
Liu Su had called three tis, and Shen Yan hadn’t picked up.
Shen Yan stiffly pressed the answer button.
“Yanyan, they are already at the Qi Mansion… You…”
“I’ll head back right now,” Shen Yan’s voice was slightly hoarse.
“Head back? You’re outside!” Liu Su knew that Qi Si had left the night before. Where exactly was Shen Yan outside?
Shen Yan hung up the phone, took a few breaths, and started her car to return to the Qi Mansion.
*
A few hours later.
Outside Shen City Airport.
“Yanyan.”
Liu Su walked toward Shen Yan. Xiao Zhao quickly ran over to take Shen Yan’s luggage.
Xiao Zhao, the assistant, really had a cushy job, and she glowed in the reflected light of following Shen Yan. The salary she received was unbelievably high for an assistant’s work, far too easy for the pay, which made her feel sowhat guilty.
So, the mont Xiao Zhao saw Shen Yan, she hurried to take over any tasks.
“Yanyan, was it hard? Are you tired?” Xiao Zhao asked warmly while pulling the luggage.
“It was just a trip to Beijing; it wasn’t tiring,” Shen Yan turned to face Liu Su, “Uncle Liu, could you talk to Director Li and delay my joining the crew for half a month?”
Liu Su was stunned and quickly asked, “Why? Is there a problem?”
“I need to deal with so things, um, Shen Family issues,” as to which Shen Family, she didn’t specify.
Liu Su wanted to inquire further, but when he heard it was Shen Family matters, he refrained, “Is it urgent?”
“Actually, half a month isn’t necessary, just ten days at most. They won’t start shooting for a few more days anyway. When all’s said and done, I’d only be delaying for a few days. I will do my best to make up for it once I’m back.”
Shen Yan had calculated the ti needed. It would be enough for a quick round trip.
Liu Su’s brows were furrowed, “Is it really necessary for you to go?”
“It’s necessary. It’s urgent family business for the Shen Family,” Shen Yan stated bluntly, “If there needs to be compensation from my side, we’ll pay.”
Liu Su’s mouth twitched, “You think compensation is that simple? Where will they find another suitable leading actress on such short notice? I will discuss this with the Bai Family first, since it’s their investnt. If they agree, then there shouldn’t be any problem.”
If Bai Family agreed, Director Li wouldn’t have anything else to say.
It wasn’t his money being burned.
“Yanyan, can I help in any way? Being unemployed like this makes feel sowhat… remorseful.”
“You could look for other part-ti jobs when you’re free,” Shen Yan allowed her to do so.
“…”
She just wanted to be on call whenever needed.
Liu Su called the person in charge at the Bai Family, explaining Shen Yan’s situation.
Outside the Bai Group’s office, Bai Zhong, hearing the person responsible for the film and television division ntion the matter, inquired, “What’s going on? Is there a problem with Shen Yan?”
“There is a bit of an issue. Sothing happened with Shen Yan’s family and she needs to handle it personally. She wants to delay joining the crew by about ten days…”
“If it’s indeed urgent, a ten-day delay won’t be a problem. Just inform Director Li to shoot scenes that she’s not in, and start with her scenes once she’s back,” Bai Zhong green-lit the request without hesitation.
Shen Yan had brought imnse benefits to the Bai Family; this small request was nothing to Bai Zhong.
The person in charge hesitated but ended up conveying the decision to Liu Su.
Liu Su hadn’t expected the Bai Family to be so generous, “They’ve given the go-ahead, Yanyan. When do you want to leave? I’ll book your flight tickets.”
“I’ll leave right away,” Shen Yan replied and got into the car.
Liu Su hurriedly got in, “So urgent?”
“Things can’t be delayed,” Shen Yan looked outside, “Uncle Liu, if there’s any delay on my end…”
“Any delay? Do you need to ntion it to the gentleman?” Liu Su tentatively asked.
If he could intervene in Shen Family affairs, he would have Qi Si take charge right away.
Shen Yan shook her head, “I’ve already booked my own ticket. For now, don’t let him know about Shen Family matters.”
“Alright, but take care of yourself while you’re out.”
Shen Yan nodded, then silently watched the street scene outside.
Xiao Zhao sat beside her, not making a sound.
Upon arrival at Star Language dia, Xiao Zhao was let off and reluctantly waved goodbye.
Back at the villa, Shen Yan quickly packed the things she needed and went downstairs.
“Yanyan, I’ll have soone send you there.”
“No need, I’ve already arranged everything. Uncle Liu, I have to go. I’ll try to keep in touch with you and let you know I’m safe. If there’s anything at ho, please inform imdiately. Although I may not be able to get there in ti, I’ll try my best to co back as soon as possible,” Shen Yan beca increasingly hesitant to make direct promises.
The power she held on her own was indeed too fragile.
Liu Su watched Shen Yan leave, hesitating outside the villa for a while before finally calling the Shen Family.
Liu Su directly asked if there had been any recent operations.
The Shen Family was preparing to trip up the Zhai Family and didn’t conceal this from Liu Su when he asked, candidly revealing they had plans for action.
Once Liu Su confird it, he was at ease.
“Who was that on the phone?” Gu Ting gave her husband a puzzled look as she placed the peeled fruit in front of him, asking.
“It was Lao Liu. He was asking about our upcoming actions,” Shen Zuo pulled Gu Ting’s hand over and gently massaged it, “I guess Yanyan must have said sothing to him. He seems to be concerned about the issue.”
“Lao Liu is a good man,” Gu Ting comnted.
Shen Zuo raised an eyebrow, “Am I not good enough?”
Gu Ting rolled her eyes at him, “Yanyan went back to Shen City, so the Shen Family doesn’t have to worry. Those people from the Zhai Family need a lesson. Otherwise, the next ti we et, they might think our Shen Family’s daughter can be easily manipulated by them.”
Shen Zuo nodded.
The grudge between the Shen Family and the Zhai Family was only getting deeper, with no resolution in sight.
Ba Country.
A group of silent figures slipped from the sea into the jungle, finding their way directly and entering an uninhabited area.
Qi Si stood on the balcony of a house on the edge of a town in Ba Country, quietly gazing ahead.
Their people were all in position.
This was the first ti he had confronted such a place since he had left his country, and there was not an ounce of laxity in him.
What lay before him was a tough nut to crack.
“Mr. Qi, sothing’s co through!”
The person tapping on the keyboard inside the house saw sothing, eyes widening, and in shock, called out to those outside.
Qi Si turned around and walked in.
“Mr. Qi, look, it’s a 3D map! This place seems like…”
Qi Si narrowed his eyes at the clear map that had appeared on the screen and said slowly, “It’s the internal structure of the Jungle Base.”
The people in the room were all shocked!
Then they raised their piercing gazes, scanning around.
Were they being monitored here?
Who sent the map?
Why would soone send them this kind of map?
And most importantly, was the map real or fake?
