Chapter 67 Playing Wild in the Depths of One's Boudoir
Reading Settings
Su Rou wants to form an alliance with Xu Lang?
They deserved to be messed with.
Xu Lang may be timid, but he has quite a temper.
However, he knew his limits and wouldn't do anything to harm anyone. That snake didn't look venomous, but if you didn't know the species, you would really think it was a venomous snake.
If she wasn't mistaken, Xu Lang was the one in charge, and Su Rou was carrying out the orders.
Su Rou hates her so much, she will definitely use poisonous snakes.
Qin Na and her group are all brainless idiots. They've probably been tricked into spending a fortune on a fake venomous snake to deal with her.
Su Xi took a detour to avoid the group of people, and when she arrived at the parking lot, she found that Zhou Jingming's car was still there.
Is that scoundrel waiting for her?
Su Xi raised her lips in a smile.
They've been here all day, what exactly does this scoundrel want to do?
Su Xi moved closer.
Zhou Jingming wasn't in the car, and there was no one else around.
Su Xi was suspicious. Where did that scoundrel go?
Just as she was about to call him, Su Xi noticed a dark shadow flash past her eyes.
She recognized the man; he was the bodyguard in black she had met at the bar before.
Could it be that Mr. Jiu has appeared here?
Su Xi immediately chased after him.
The opponent is very fast and moves like the wind; he is a top-notch expert.
There are many narrow alleys along the ancient city wall. Su Xi followed the other person closely until they reached a small courtyard, where the other person suddenly disappeared.
Soon, the sound of conversation could be heard!
Su Xi was quite far away and couldn't hear what was being said clearly, but in her daze, she seemed to hear Zhou Jingming's voice.
Is Zhou Jingming inside?
Su Xi frowned and cautiously took two steps closer.
In that instant, the person inside alerted to the commotion, made a shushing gesture, and darted to the monitor, clearly seeing the person standing outside.
Damn it!
Why is she here?
Su Xi entered the courtyard, found no one, and groped her way further inside.
There was talking just now, but now it's quiet.
Has she been discovered?
Just as Su Xi was pondering this, a rather loud noise came from the next room.
Su Xi saw a window next to her and groped her way closer. She pressed her back against the wall and peered inside.
On the bed, a woman is pinned down by a man.
Su Xi knew the man's identity all too well; it was Zhou Jingming.
As for women...
The other person suddenly turned around, and Su Xi recognized him as Qiao Xing!
Good heavens!
This scoundrel came here to have a passionate affair with Qiao Xing?
Su Xi quickly realized something was wrong; the bodyguard had clearly disappeared from here.
She shouldn't have made that mistake!
"Young Master Zhou, I really have nothing to do with Xu Lang. All those news stories online are just a publicity stunt. You're not helping me. If I don't find a way to clear my name, not only will I be torn apart by fans' spittle, but my career might also be ruined..."
Zhou Jingming turned over, his clothes disheveled, his back to her. Although he blocked Qiao Xing, Su Xi could guess from the sounds how much fun the two of them were having.
She had no time to deal with the two of them; the most important thing right now was to find the bodyguard in black from earlier and then follow the clues to find Mr. Jiu.
She quietly slipped out and began searching the surrounding area.
...
No sooner had Su Xi left than Zhou Jingming sat up, straightened his clothes, and got out of bed.
"Young Master Zhou, what's wrong?"
Qiao Xing got out of bed, dressed neatly, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Half an hour ago, she came to Director Zhu's film crew intending to meet Xu Lang, but unexpectedly bumped into Zhou Jingming leaving suspiciously.
The man was walking in a hurry, and she was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't dare to get too close and instead took a shortcut to catch up with him.
She used to film here often and knew the terrain well. Soon she saw Zhou Jingming lingering in a small courtyard.
Qiao Xing was about to rush in through the back door when Zhou Jingming suddenly appeared, pulled her into the next room, and pinned her down.
The man was handsome with well-defined features and a strong, powerful physique. He supported himself on either side of her body with his hands, his eyes red as if he wanted to tear her clothes apart. His domineering and forceful manner made her heart pound wildly.
Thinking of what had just happened, Qiao Xing's legs went weak and her whole body felt slightly hot. Looking at Zhou Jingming with a seductive and alluring gaze, she couldn't help but pull at her clothes.
"Qiao Xing, I warned you, but it seems you haven't learned your lesson." Zhou Jingming had already tidied up and lit a cigarette, puffing out smoke.
Qiao Xing didn't understand what he meant, "I didn't..."
"Why are you following me?" Zhou Jingming's tone seemed casual, but his eyes revealed a dangerous glint.
He had already noticed when Qiao Xing was following him.
The reason she was kept with them was in case something unexpected happened, and Qiao Xing might still come in handy.
The Lord of Qianye Pavilion is no ordinary person. Once he becomes suspicious, he will definitely investigate to the end. Fortunately, Qiao Xing appeared in time. He pulled Qiao Xing aside as a cover, which can be considered as turning danger into safety.
Qiao Xing wiped away her tears pitifully, "I saw you were leaving in a hurry, and I was worried something had happened, so I followed you."
"Did you see anyone?" Zhou Jingming resumed his frivolous expression, his smile alluring.
Qiao Xing shook her head. "No."
"You can go now." Zhou Jingming waved his hand.
Qiao Xing was confused. Zhou Jingming had clearly wanted her just now, so why did he suddenly change his attitude? Had she done something wrong?
She tried to come closer, but Zhou Jingming didn't give her the chance. "Don't make me say it a second time, get lost."
Qiao Xing ran over, her eyes reddening and tears streaming down her face.
From the corner, a dark figure emerged and said respectfully, "Sir, here is the information you requested."
Zhou Jingming took it, his gaze drifting towards the window. "Be more careful in the future. She's not an ordinary person. You managed to evade her pursuit this time, but will you be able to do so easily next time?"
"It was my fault, I deserve to die!"
"Go down."
Zhou Jingming waved his hand.
Just like when Yuan Shen came, he left without anyone noticing.
Zhou Jingming flipped through the documents, on which a photo of Xinglan was clearly pasted, and the document recorded Xinglan's rise to fame.
Zhou Jingming had originally sent Si Nan to investigate the matter, but the investigation only revealed a partial picture, which is why he then sent Yuan Shen to take action.
Although he obtained more clues than Si Nan provided, he still didn't find the information he wanted.
After closing the documents, Zhou Jingming left the courtyard.
Su Xi searched around but couldn't find Yuan Shen.
Just as she was wondering where the person had gone, Hua Qing's phone suddenly rang.
"Sister Xi, there's a good show to watch, come quick!"
Su Xi stood on the rooftop, surveying her surroundings. The bustling crowds were lively and vibrant. The wind ruffled her long hair and carried her voice, "What is it?"
"Qiao Xing came to the film set to see Xu Lang. You have no idea how much Xu Lang fawns over her. The way he was coaxing Qiao Xing was utterly shameless." Hua Qing clicked her tongue repeatedly on the other end.
Xu Lang doesn't take anyone seriously, except for Qiao Xing.
He's probably been bewitched by Qiao Xing.
Su Xi pinched her brow helplessly. When they met that day, Xu Lang said he was going to prank Qiao Xing. She thought he was joking, but she didn't expect him to be serious.
Fine, let him do whatever he wants. As long as he doesn't go too far, she can turn a blind eye.
"Take your time looking at it. I have something to do, so I'm leaving now." Su Xi hung up the phone.
It seems the person is hiding. If they don't show themselves, she might not be able to catch them even if she stays here all day.
