Chapter 962 It's Not That Simple
Mo Kaicheng thought he could mess with Han Yin for this very reason. In the business world, it was all about the almighty profit. Even sworn enemies could put on a friendly facade when there was something to gain. And let's be real, Bingxin Entertainment and Ji Corporation didn't have any conflicts of interest. Han Yin was just a childhood friend of Shen Hanxing, a relationship that was insignificant to Ji Yan. As long as Bingxin Entertainment extended a friendly gesture and offered juicy benefits, would Ji Yan really decide to go against them for the sake of that irrelevant girl Han Yin?
Mo Kaicheng was brimming with confidence, but as he looked at Ji Yan's face, his certainty started to waver. This guy was a total nutcase. Thoughts of the rumors surrounding Ji Yan from back in the day sent a chill down his spine.
"You think we're gonna make a big fuss over this?" Ji Yan's tone was calm, yet it sent shivers down one's spine. He looked down at Mo Kaicheng with a touch of arrogance. "Does Bingxin Entertainment even measure up?"
Shame. At that moment, Mo Kaicheng felt a wave of shame washing over him, more embarrassing than getting a good beating from Shen Hanxing. It was as if everything he relied on was worth nothing in the presence of Ji Yan. What made it worse was that he couldn't even find the words to argue back. He could only clench his fists tightly. "President Ji, I didn't mean it that way. I just wanted to show Bingxin Entertainment's goodwill."
Seeing Mo Kaicheng's pathetic demeanor, Ji Yan let out a disdainful snort. He turned to look at Shen Hanxing, the hostility quickly fading, and his dangerous expression softened into a gentle one. He spoke in a low voice, "Let's get out of here. Han Yin and the others have been through enough." He held Shen Hanxing's hand firmly. "A guy like Mo Kaicheng is not worth your time."
Shen Hanxing took a glance at the defeated state of Mo Kaicheng, nodded in agreement without uttering a word, and left with Chu Feng and Han Yin. It wasn't until they had walked out of the police station that the police officers, who had been gathered by the police car, cleared their throats and returned. Suppressing her disgust, the policewoman coldly addressed the still-seated Mo Kaicheng, "Mr. Mo, if there are no issues, we kindly request your presence in the interrogation room."
"Get lost!" Mo Kaicheng's face turned menacingly dark. "What's with the hurry? Can't you see I'm injured? You useless bunch of wimps! What kind of police officers are you?" He hadn't forgotten how they had ignored him while he was being beaten!
Meanwhile, Shen Hanxing, accompanied by Han Yin and Chu Feng, went straight back to the Ji Family's residence. Han Yin's parents were ordinary hardworking people, and even though Han Yin had earned money from acting, they continued to diligently manage their small shop without changing their way of life. To prevent them from worrying, Shen Hanxing didn't inform them about Han Yin's recent incident. Instead, she convinced them to close the shop for a couple of days and enjoy a relaxing trip to another city, so they wouldn't be bothered by some irrational internet trolls.
Han Yin had indeed been terrified these past two days, and Chu Feng had been keeping watch at the police station without getting proper rest. After quickly having a bite to eat, the two of them went upstairs to get some rest.
Not long after, Shen Hanxing received an invitation. It was an invite from Mo Kaicheng's father, the head of Bingxin Entertainment, Mo Zhenbang, requesting a meeting.
As Shen Hanxing held the invitation card in her hand, she looked thoughtfully at Ji Yan. "Mr. Ji, care to guess why Mr. Mo only extended the invitation to me and not you?"
Ji Yan's neatly arranged tie was loosened, and it was as if he had broken free from some sort of restraint. He approached Shen Hanxing abruptly, leaning his arms on the armrest of the wicker chair, trapping her between the chair and his chest. His aura became aggressively dominant. "Whether there's an invitation card or not, he can't stop me."
In Ji Yan's deep dark eyes, there was a chilling coldness. He was the one who could apply pressure on the Mo Family, making Mo Zhenbang cautious and unable to smoothly retrieve Mo Kaicheng. Yet, Mo Zhenbang had bypassed him and sent the invitation card to Shen Hanxing. What did it imply? It simply meant that they thought Shen Hanxing, a person from humble origins with limited connections in high society and limited experience, could be easily manipulated or deceived. Regardless of their intentions, it greatly displeased Ji Yan.
"Would you like to accompany me, Mr. Ji?" Shen Hanxing toyed with the button on Ji Yan's shirt, her plump red lips slightly curled. "But your name isn't on the invitation card..." Her tone was playful, clearly indicating that she didn't want Ji Yan to join her for the meeting.
With a touch of resignation in his eyes, Ji Yan reached out and grabbed a strand of Shen Hanxing's hair. His voice was deep and soothing. "Dear, the Mo Family has had a stronghold in the entertainment industry for many years. It's not that simple."
