“Who?” Shi Man turned her head and blinked curiously.
Lin Yue sighed and said, “Actually, 1 was almost kidnapped when 1 was young. Someone passed by and saved me. Otherwise, I don’t know what would have happened to me now.”
Shi Man seemed to understand something and smiled. “You didn’t see each other again, right?”
“Yes, I can’t find the person, but I really want to meet that person again.” Lin Yue sighed softly. Her fingers subconsciously fumbled with the script’s pages, and her lips curled into a bitter smile. “Actually, I entered the entertainment industry for this reason, but I’m afraid that person won’t recognize me at all.”
Shi Man patted her shoulder. Under her surprised gaze, she smiled comfortingly and said, “If you’re fated, you will definitely meet again.”
“Thank you.”
Lin Yue’s eyes were filled with gratitude. Coincidentally, Director Zhang sent an assistant to call her over to film. She immediately composed herself and said goodbye to Shi Man, but she turned around and entered the battlefield that belonged to her.
Recently, the criticisms of Yi Zheng on the Internet had been calmed down. After the netizens were furious, they gradually regained their rationality.
This was all thanks to the high compensation that Yi Zheng was willing to pay the injured worker.
The Yi family’s apology was very sincere. The subsequent matters were handled well. In addition, the worker’s life was not in danger. The higher-ups unanimously decided to continue handing this matter to Yi Zheng.
When Yi Kun received this news, his hand holding the belt was trembling violently.
On the carpet, the woman was lying on it humbly. The old scars on her back had new wounds. Her empty gaze was fixed on the burning fireplace opposite, but the fire could not completely illuminate her eyes.
“Useless thing, get lost! Get lost!” Yi Kun swung his belt and hit the woman hard. He kicked her naked slender waist in disgust and spat on it.
The woman was already numb to these kicks and did not show any joy when she heard his words. She only stood up from the ground mechanically and staggered to put on her clothes. When she pulled open the door, she was caught off guard and met a pair of deep and hateful eyes.
The emotions in that person’s eyes disappeared in an instant. When the woman investigated further, she could only see guilt in them.
Yi Che helplessly turned to the side and made way. He smiled and said, “Go get the medicine from the butler. The weather is cold. Be careful not to affect your wound.”
“Yes.” The woman lowered her head humbly. She was suddenly at a loss for what to do when she was cared for.
Yi Kun looked at the woman’s red ears expressionlessly and stared at her back with a ruthless gaze. His voice was like a demon that had crawled out of hell. “Why aren’t you getting lost? Haven’t you been beaten enough?”
The woman shivered and quickly ran out of his sight.
Yi Che immediately put on a respectful smile and shrugged helplessly. “Father, don’t be angry first. Although they didn’t take down Yi Zheng this time, at least they don’t have any evidence related to us.”
Yi Kun glared at him gloomily and mocked angrily, “What do you know? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. If we don’t succeed this time, Yi Zheng will definitely be more vigilant. It’ll be difficult for us to find trouble with him again.”
“Yes, but what we should pay attention to now is not how we should do it next.” Yi Che sat on the sofa and picked up his teacup thoughtfully. “The video sent by Shi Man shows that they clearly know that we were related to Shen Xian’s incident the last time, but Shi Zhong hasn’t made a move yet. Father, don’t you suspect something amiss?”
When Yi Kun thought of this, he was angry. He kicked the desk impatiently. “How else do they want to attack? If not for that matter, why would Yi Zheng have designs on us for no reason? That young brat helped the Shi family deal with his own uncle before marrying someone else’s daughter!”
“Father, I’m worried that the Shi family won’t give up and will continue to attack you.” Yi Che casually picked up a document on the table and placed it in his hand. “Have you forgotten that your proudest work is within the Shi family’s sphere of influence?”
Yi Kun’s eyes widened, and his hands suddenly clenched into fists.
How could Yi Kun not remember? Back then, he had used illegal methods to snatch a piece of land in the city center from the Shi family. Then, he used this piece of land to earn a lot of money. It was indeed his proudest work.
However, his power was declining now. If the Shi family really wanted to attack that piece of land, he could only use the resources he had accumulated over the years to fight them head-on.
Yi Kun was still thinking of a countermeasure in a daze when the secretary outside rushed in with the phone. When he saw Yi Kun, his tears almost flowed. He was so frightened that he was incoherent. “President Yi, bad news. Our entertainment city in the city center has just been sealed by the police. They brought people to investigate the drug trade. Now, the leaders of the city are looking for you!”
“What did you say?” Yi Kun did not expect Shi Zhong to be so ruthless. He was so ruthless that there was no room for him to salvage the situation..
