Chapter 356: Chapter 351: He is Already Treading the Line Chapter 356: Chapter 351: He is Already Treading the Line “You may not want poking my nose into what you’re doing, but Boyuan, don’t let Qi Si jump into the abyss,” Boyuan heard Wang Jue’s haunting voice amidst the refreshing autumn breeze. His eyes narrowed as they fixed on the vehicles ahead, lost in thought.
“And what about you?” Boyuan’s husky voice later broke the silence. “Wang Jue, both you and Qi Si are approaching that line. I’m not a cop, but my position is even more sensitive than theirs. I hope I never run into the two of you while I’m out on a mission.”
Then, Boyuan turned and looked Wang Jue directly in the eyes.
Wang Jue pulled out a cigarette, his fingers tightly pinching the filter as he said, “I won’t cross that line. It’s different for Qi Si; he’s already treading on it. I used to trust his principles, but now I’m not so sure.”
The two fell silent.
They knew exactly why Qi Si was treading on that line—it was because of Shen Yan!

“Shh!”
A car drove up from the front and stopped right before two parked vehicles. The engine turned off, the door swung open, and a slender, long-legged figure stepped out and quickly approached them, tossing a not-so-fancy box to Boyuan.
Boyuan glanced down at the box in his hands—it was that reagent!
“Yo! Show-off! Grandpa Qi, are you off to rob soone?” Wang Jue joked, laughing.
With a “shh” sound, Boyuan lit the cigarette in his hand, took a drag, and exhaled a cloud of smoke. He leaned against the car sideways, fixing his gaze on Qi Si.
His eyes held a deep look.
Qi Si: “Take a look.”
“You brought it yourself; no need to check,” Boyuan expressed his trust in Qi Si with his actions.
Qi Si stared at him for a long ti before nodding.
“Grandpa Qi, a celebration tonight?” Wang Jue imdiately ca up to hook his arm over his shoulder.
Qi Si raised his hand and blocked him.
With an expressionless face, he asked, “Was the matchmaking successful?”
“F*ck! Grandpa Qi, can you not f*cking personally attack !” Wang Jue’s face instantly darkened.
Qi Si ignored him and looked at Boyuan, “That Shen Ning is still in your possession.”
“We can’t find anything out from her side for now. She might really be ignorant, or just loose-lipped,” Boyuan seed sowhat helpless. “Eventually, we’ll have to let her go.”
Qi Si didn’t offer an opinion. This was within Boyuan’s scope of responsibilities.
“I’m not really sure what’s going on, but I think those who ‘can’t keep their mouth shut’ are simply thoughtless. Unless they’re scheming planners, it wouldn’t hurt to detain them a bit longer. Don’t let them out and let them harm everyone again,” Wang Jue hooked his arm around Boyuan’s shoulders and lifted his chin, “Open it and have a look.”
Boyuan glanced at him sideways and waved off the weight pressing down, “That depends on the higher-ups.”
“Have you seen Shen Yan?” Boyuan suddenly asked.
Qi Si’s deep gaze flickered strangely for a mont, especially during the glance he directed at Boyuan.
Wang Jue was sowhat carefree, “Isn’t it normal for him to see Shen Yan? Grandpa Qi, is this what you’d call a taste of love?”
Sothing touched Qi Si, and his gaze montarily softened unexpectedly.
Wang Jue was shaken!
Damn!
A man in love, even if he’s as cold as ice, will lt into sothing unrecognizable!
And look at , a pitiful single man!
Escaped from Beijing only to be dragged back—how pathetic!
Boyuan seed to think of sothing, his brows furrowing briefly, “You guys chat, I’m leaving. And, thanks.”
He gestured with his hand and got into the car.
“He’s really not polite,” Wang Jue’s mouth twitched. “The last ti he bossed around, all I got was a ‘thanks’ too.”
Qi Si glanced at his watch, then took out his phone to send a ssage.
Seeing that expression, he must be chatting it up with Shen Yan.
Wang Jue couldn’t stand it, “Bro, this… I’m really not used to it. Are you guys really not planning a wedding? Just to let us make a fuss?”
After sending a ssage, Qi Si looked up at him, “Wait till you have a successful blind date, then I’ll make a fuss for you.”
“Fuck your grandpa!”
Wang Jue gritted his teeth.
Matchmaking references are never stopping, are they?
Qi Si stared at him coldly. “My grandpa is my dad. If you’re capable, go ahead.”
Wang Jue felt like he was going to vomit blood…
“…You’re really sothing.”
“Thanks for the complint.”
“…”
Fuck!
Wang Jue was absolutely dumbfounded. Qi Si had changed ever since he fell in love!
Wang Jue pressed on his temples, walked to his car door, opened it, and then rembered sothing, looking back. “If necessary, perhaps handle the matters with Zhai Family and Shen Family. It’s also a bit tough over at Hong Shen’s… Alright, alright, I don’t want to interfere. We are all brothers. I’m just afraid that you guys would fall out, and then we’d be caught in the middle, making everyone uncomfortable.”
Under Qi Si’s icy gaze, Wang Jue cursed under his breath, then changed the subject. “Qi Si, don’t go too overboard with certain things. You know what Boyuan is like; he sotis adheres too strictly to his principles. In case the two of you really end up on opposite sides…”
“I won’t let that happen, Wang Jue, and you’d better keep this in mind as well, not to put Boyuan in a difficult position.”
“…”
Wang Jue, furious, slamd the car door and sped away.
Mind your own damn business!
Qi Si put away his phone, stared ahead for a while, then also left.

Shen Yan’s lips curled up, her gaze never leaving the phone screen.
“Ahem! Yanyan, I’ve found the location from where the photo was sent,” Liu Su approached and saw Shen Yan like this, sowhat reluctant to interrupt, but he needed to ask for her opinion.
Seeing Liu Su’s expression, Shen Yan put away her phone and the smile. “Was it soone close to ?”
Liu Su nodded. “The photo was passed through three hands before it reached the dia, the first being from Song Xuan’s side.”
Having said this, Liu Su waited for Shen Yan’s reaction.
Shen Yan humd, seemingly having guessed this already.
“Li Yanbai might have found so clues as well,” Liu Su hesitated.
“Handle it as usual,” Shen Yan said expressionlessly.
“Okay, I got it,” Liu Su glanced towards Li Yanbai’s side, then went to make a phone call.
Li Yanbai, hearing this news from his manager, imdiately contacted Song Xuan, his tone cold. “Song Xuan, why would you do that?”
“Yanbai, if I say I didn’t do it, would you believe ?” Song Xuan pinched the phone, his face sowhat pale. “I wouldn’t be so foolish as to use my own phone to take such pictures. My phone has always been with my assistant…”
“If it wasn’t under your instructions, would your assistant dare to use your phone to take such misleading photos? Song Xuan, we’re both not newbies in the entertainnt industry, and Shen Yan is not so naive pushover. Have you forgotten about Tao Rongye’s incident?”
Li Yanbai, in his words, conveyed profound disappointnt towards Song Xuan.
Song Xuan’s face turned utterly pale.
“I didn’t expect you to indulge in such childish tricks. I’m truly disappointed in you,” Li Yanbai finished and hung up, pressing his temples tiredly.
“Click!”
Song Xuan’s phone slipped to the floor.
“Song Xuan,” the assistant entered and was startled to see her distraught appearance.
Song Xuan spoke with a trembling voice, “That photo has caused trouble. I only took it, but I didn’t expect soone would go through my phone…”
The assistant’s face changed, “It was that night at the party!”
That evening, they had attended a party, and Song Xuan had carelessly left her phone on a table and stepped away for a minute. The phone was then placed on a waiter’s tray. By the ti Song Xuan got it back and checked, she found that another actress had gone through her phone and had deleted the records. Song Xuan had a confrontation with that woman right then and there.
“It’s not your fault…”
Song Xuan gave a bitter smile, “How does it matter? The photo leaked from , and I took it, but I just told a lie. It looks like this ti it’s truly over for . It was under your na, I’m sorry.”
“Song Xuan,” the assistant, watching her like this, didn’t know what to say.
