Chapter 85: Little Indulgence

Chapter 85: Little Indulgence

Three in the morning, the Xingyue Legal Department was brightly lit.

Qi Yanwang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the cigarette between his fingers burned to the end.

Outside the window was a sleeping city, and his phone screen was lit up—

“The Economic Investigation Department has opened a case for investigation, it is recommended to prepare the materials as soon as possible.”

Zhuo Huaimo pushed the door open and came in, holding two cups of coffee. He handed one to him,

“How is it?”

Qi Yanwang took the coffee, his voice low,

“Zhang Chong is playing dirty this time.”

He brought up the recording file on the computer,

“This recording has been edited, but the technical analysis will take time. The Economic Investigation Department can’t wait that long.”

Zhuo Huaimo frowned, “Are they really going to investigate Xingyue’s accounts?”

“It’s not about investigating the accounts.”

Qi Yanwang sneered, “It’s aimed at the words ‘overseas accounts’.”

—This is Zhang Chong’s real killer move.

The infighting in the entertainment industry, once it involves economic crimes, the nature is completely different.

Zhuo Huaimo was silent for a moment, then suddenly opened his mouth: “What about Su Wen’s side?”

“Temporarily safe.”

Qi Yanwang rubbed his temples, “But Zhang Chong must have other tricks up his sleeve.”

He pulled out a document: “I had someone check all of Zhang Mingyuan’s communication records and found that he contacted Chenguang’s PR director.”

Zhuo Huaimo narrowed his eyes: “So… the Su Wen thing was designed by Chenguang from beginning to end?”

“More than that.”

Qi Yanwang opened another document, “Chenguang had been eyeing the original copyright of ‘Neon’ for a long time. They first let Zhang Mingyuan approach Su Wen, take those photos, and then use ‘Entertainment Weekly’ to detonate public opinion—”

He sneered, “One link after another, just waiting for us to jump in.”

Zhuo Huaimo stared at the screen, his brows furrowed, “Yanwang, do you think Chen Mo might have a problem?”

This sentence made Qi Yanwang’s eyes flash, “What do you mean?”

“Overseas accounts! Except for the company, neither of us has large overseas accounts under our names. Could it be that those people couldn’t find the money, so they randomly put a label on us and asked the Economic Investigation Department to investigate, because they believed the money was on us!”

Qi Yanwang suddenly paused, his pupils shrinking slightly.

Zhuo Huaimo noticed his abnormality, “What’s wrong?”

Qi Yanwang slowly raised his head, “Chen Mo went to Singapore last week.”

—And Zhang Chong’s threatening call happened to be made after Chen Mo went abroad.

Things began to develop in an uncontrollable direction.

Qi Yanwang slammed the laptop shut, grabbed his suit jacket,

“Let’s go, to Chen Mo’s office.”

The office building at four in the morning was empty.

Zhuo Huaimo opened Chen Mo’s office with a spare key, and Qi Yanwang went straight to the filing cabinet, taking out an old-fashioned mobile phone from a hidden compartment.

“This is…”

“For emergency contact.”

Qi Yanwang quickly turned it on and looked through the call records, “Sure enough, he received a call from Singapore last Wednesday.”

Zhuo Huaimo pulled open the drawer and found a torn plane ticket stub—

Chen Mo didn’t go to Singapore at all, but changed his flight to the Cayman Islands.

“He betrayed us.” Zhuo Huaimo’s voice turned cold.

Qi Yanwang immediately called Liu Jinchen:

“Immediately freeze all of Chen Mo’s accounts and issue a red notice.”

After hanging up, he looked at Zhuo Huaimo: “I’ll take care of the Economic Investigation Department, Xingyue’s accounts can withstand investigation.”

When the two returned home, it was almost four in the morning.

Qi Yanwang lay on the head of the bed, Zhuo Huaimo took a shower, and his warm skin pressed against him.

Qi Yanwang reached out and pulled him into his arms,

“Still not sleeping?”

Zhuo Huaimo leaned against his chest, “Let’s not investigate anymore! I don’t care about that money!”

“What’s wrong?”

“This person is familiar with Xingyue’s operations, can influence the Economic Investigation Department, and can make an old player like Chen Mo betray us…”

Qi Yanwang kissed his forehead,

“Scared?”

Zhuo Huaimo nodded, hugging him tightly.

Qi Yanwang stroked his smooth arm, and said softly,

“I know you don’t care about that money, and I don’t care either, but I know you definitely care about the truth of your parents’ death…”

Zhuo Huaimo was silent, indeed, he cared!

However, his parents had already left, and besides his grandmother, the person he cared about the most now was Qi Yanwang. He didn’t want him to be in trouble because of what happened back then.

“Actually, I also want to know the truth!”

Qi Yanwang seemed to see through his worries, “These inexplicable curses have plagued you for so long, I want you to know that these things are not your fault at all, you are lucky, and the people who love you are also lucky!”

Zhuo Huaimo raised his eyebrows to look at him. Why is this little mouth so sweet today? He wants to taste it!

He raised his head and kissed Qi Yanwang’s lips, his fingertips probing into his slightly open collar.

Qi Yanwang’s breath hitched, his palm clasped the back of his neck, deepening the kiss.

As their breaths intertwined, Zhuo Huaimo rolled over and straddled his waist, the straps of his pajamas slipped from his shoulders.

“So proactive today?”

Qi Yanwang’s thumb stroked his reddened eyes.

Zhuo Huaimo giggled, biting his Adam’s apple: “I want to taste… just how sweet this mouth is.”

Qi Yanwang chuckled and pressed him into the bed, his kisses snaking down his collarbone.

Outside the window, the morning light was faint, and as the bed curtains swayed gently, Zhuo Huaimo’s slender legs wrapped around his waist, the arch of his feet taut and seductive.

“Don’t be afraid…”

Qi Yanwang breathed in his ear, “If the sky falls… I’ll carry it for you.”

Zhuo Huaimo gripped the bed sheets tightly in overwhelming pleasure, vaguely seeing the morning sun gilding his lover with gold—

At this moment, all curses and truths became distant.

With the full assistance of Liu Jinchen and the legal team, Xingyue Media’s crisis was quickly resolved.

The Economic Investigation Department’s investigation results showed that the so-called “overseas accounts” were purely slander, and Chen Mo’s betrayal was confirmed, and he had been put on the wanted list.

Chenguang Entertainment was fined a huge sum for malicious commercial competition, and Zhang Chong was also investigated for suspected economic crimes.

On the day the “Neon” crew started filming, the sun was shining brightly.

Su Wen was wearing a costume and carefully studying the script on set.

Zhuo Huaimo made a low-key appearance, bringing carefully prepared gifts and bouquets to congratulate him as a director.

“Director Zhuo!”

Su Wen greeted him with surprise, “Why are you here?”

“I came to see how our heroine is doing.”

Zhuo Huaimo smiled, “I heard you’ve made great progress recently.”

As the two were exchanging greetings, there was a sudden commotion outside the set—

Qi Yanwang’s black Maybach slowly drove in.

Zhuo Huaimo frowned immediately and whispered to the assistant,

“Didn’t we agree to come in two hours?”

Inside the nanny car, Qi Yanwang couldn’t help but laugh as he watched Zhuo Huaimo’s reaction on the monitor screen.

He straightened his suit and was about to get out of the car when his phone suddenly rang.

“Don’t come down now!”

Qi Yanwang raised his eyebrows and replied: “Why? We’re not having an underground affair.”

“It’s been too high-profile recently!”

“Isn’t being high-profile good?”

“We were supposed to come together!”

Qi Yanwang laughed and continued typing: “Baby, do you think the netizens will believe that we just happened to be visiting the same set on the same day and at the same time?”

Zhuo Huaimo stubbornly replied: “I don’t care, at least wait an hour!”

“One hour is too long, thirty minutes.”

“Forty-five minutes!”

“Deal.”

Forty-five minutes later, Qi Yanwang finally “arrived late.”

As soon as he got out of the car, the set immediately boiled over.

Reporters swarmed up, flashes of light constantly flashing.

“President Qi, did you come here specifically to visit Su Wen?”

Qi Yanwang smiled slightly: “Of course, I naturally care about Xingyue’s artists.”

His gaze inadvertently swept over Zhuo Huaimo standing in the distance. The moment their eyes met, Zhuo Huaimo immediately turned his face away, pretending not to see him.

However, all of this was captured by sharp-eyed netizens.

That night, #QiYanwangZhuoHuaimoPretendToBeUnfamiliarOnSet# trended on the hot search.

“Laughing to death, Director Zhuo was obviously still on the set before President Qi got out of the car, how did he suddenly disappear?”

“The moment they looked at each other, Director Zhuo’s ears turned red!”

“This acting skill, no wonder he’s a Movie Emperor [doge]”

“It is recommended that Director Zhuo change his excuse next time, such as ‘I just happened to be passing by'”

Qi Yanwang swiped through the comments and handed the phone to Zhuo Huaimo with a smile:

“See, what did I say? Netizens are all Sherlock Holmes.”

Zhuo Huaimo grabbed a pillow in annoyance and threw it at him:

“It’s all your fault! You had to get out of the car early!”

Qi Yanwang caught the pillow and took the opportunity to pull him into his arms:

“What does it matter? Anyway, the whole world knows we’re a couple.”

Zhuo Huaimo wanted to retort, but was silenced by a kiss.

—Pretending to be unfamiliar is indeed not suitable for them.

Oh well, if someone wants to deceive themselves, Qi Yanwang can only indulge them and treat it as a little indulgence between lovers!

The next morning, when Zhuo Huaimo woke up naturally, Qi Yanwang had already left for a meeting.

He rubbed his eyes and walked into the dining room, where he found the cooking aunt guarding a table of sumptuous breakfast.

“Mr. Zhuo is awake?”

The aunt smiled and served hot milk, “Mr. Qi specifically told me to watch you finish eating.”

Zhuo Huaimo raised his eyebrows: “What else did he tell you?”

“He said that your stomach hasn’t been good lately, so you must eat on time.”

The aunt counted her fingers, “He also said to watch you take vitamins and remind you that you have a video conference at three in the afternoon, oh yes—”

She suddenly lowered her voice: “Mr. Qi also said that if you secretly drink iced cola again, he will deduct my bonus.”

Zhuo Huaimo almost choked on the milk: “He even told you this?”

“Of course!”

The aunt looked envious, “You two have such a good relationship. If only my son could find someone like Mr. Qi…”

“Pfft—”

Zhuo Huaimo really spit out milk this time, “Your son?”

The aunt nodded frankly: “Yes, my son also likes boys.”

Zhuo Huaimo widened his eyes: “You… don’t object?”

“Object to what!”

The aunt laughed while wiping the table, “My son has loved being pretty since he was a child. When he secretly wore my high heels when he was a kid, I knew it!”

She leaned in mysteriously and said: “Do you know? His first love was a little boy in kindergarten. He gave away his favorite chocolate for him!”

Zhuo Huaimo laughed so hard that he slapped the table: “Auntie, you’re so cute! Does Qi Yanwang know you’re so open-minded?”

“He knows!”

The aunt suddenly frowned, “As a result, after Mr. Qi heard this, he immediately said that my son was not allowed to come here to find me.”

“Ah? Why?”

The aunt sighed exaggeratedly: “He said he was afraid you would be infatuated with a young and handsome guy! In all conscience, my son is not even one-tenth as handsome as Mr. Qi!”

Zhuo Huaimo laughed until tears came out of his eyes, and immediately sent a message to Qi Yanwang:

“I heard you forbade the aunt’s son to come home? Jealous pot!”

Three seconds later, he replied: “Who told you to praise the delivery guy as handsome last time.”

Zhuo Huaimo scolded with a smile at the phone: “Petty!”

Turning to the aunt, he said: “Bring your son next time, I’ll protect him!”

The aunt happily gave him another bowl of porridge: “That would be great! But Mr. Zhuo…”

“Ding-dong—”

The doorbell interrupted the laughter in the dining room. The aunt wiped her hands: “Mr. Zhuo, you eat first, I’ll open the door.”

Zhuo Huaimo scooped up the porridge, hearing the aunt’s surprised voice: “Miss, who are you looking for?”

“Does Qi Yanwang live here?” A clear female voice carried a bit of playfulness, “I’m here to deliver something to him~”

The spoon “clanged” and fell into the bowl.

Zhuo Huaimo frowned and walked towards the entrance, seeing a young girl in a beige dress standing at the door, her long black hair shining softly in the morning light.

The girl was shaking a velvet box in her hand. When she saw him, her eyes lit up, and her eyes that sized him up were filled with cunning exploration.

“Qi Yanwang is not here.” Zhuo Huaimo stood in the doorway, his tone indifferent.

The girl tilted her head and smiled: “Then can I come in and wait?”

She shook the box in her hand, “It’s something very important~”

Zhuo Huaimo stared at the thing that was obviously a jewelry box, his temples throbbing:

“What’s so important?”

“Secret~”

The girl blinked, her gaze swept over his messy pajama collar,

“Looks like the battle was fierce last night? That’s right, that straight man of his has never known how to cherish women!”
