    Chapter Sixty-Six: CEO Male Supporting Character

    In two days, Xiao Wen confessed everything clearly, including how he harmed people. His mental state was sometimes manic, sometimes good. When manic, he always talked about ghosts; when good, he always said that everything he did was because he liked Yan Ye, and that he became like this because of Yan Ye.

    The police had someone examine his mental state. After confirming he was insane, they were about to send him to a mental hospital when Xiao Wen suddenly died in a washbasin, drowned.

    His death was terrifying. When the police checked the surveillance footage, they found his death extremely bizarre and didn’t believe it was suicide. In the surveillance video, Xiao Wen was struggling, but the washbasin was held firmly over his face, eventually causing him to drown. The police officer who discovered his death and watched that part of the surveillance was so scared he didn’t come to work for several days.

    The adventure show announced they were halting filming due to the death. After He Lin’s fans discovered the guest who died was their idol, the production team was slammed on hot search several times.

    Things only started to improve after the police announced that He Lin and Xiao Wen had malicious intentions and attempted to harm someone, and that Xiao Wen was murdered by Xiao Wen to silence her. The truth was revealed.

    Fans finally understood what Yan Ye had said on the first day of his live stream, and they expressed their heartache and lingering fear.

    “Wuwuwu, being on the same show as a murderer like Xiao Wen, my heart aches for my Yan Ge.”

    “Heartache plus one, who knows how Yan Ye spent those few days, he must have been on tenterhooks, afraid that Xiao Wen would kill again.”

    “Damn it, who would have thought, Xiao Wen would be this kind of person, almost killing one person wasn’t enough, he even killed He Lin.”

    “He Lin isn’t innocent either, actually.”

    “Alright, the person is dead, let’s all say less.”

    The internet was ablaze with arguments. Not long after, the police announced Xiao Wen’s accidental death, which gradually silenced the arguments between the various fan groups.

    Yan Ye’s reputation also slowly grew because of this incident. The scripts his agent sent this time were no longer ghost stories but proper suspense dramas.

    Yan Ye currently had no plans to become immensely popular, so he didn’t accept them. Instead, he continued the original owner’s old profession, taking on some horror and ghost drama scripts.

    At Tianyu, Yang Fan insisted on terminating his contract with the borrowed money. Song Yang looked at him twice and said carelessly, “The money was given to you by Xie Jifeng, right?”

    Yang Fan gave a bitter smile. “It’s borrowed.”

    Song Yang sneered. “Does he need you to repay it? He probably heard you wanted to leave Tianyu and couldn’t wait to send you the money.” That person had long wished for Yang Fan to leave Tianyu.

    Yang Fan furrowed his brow, knowing his words were harsh, but they seemed to be the truth.

    Song Yang had lost interest in Yang Fan. Now, he just wanted to mock him a bit. Seeing that the person wasn’t speaking, he lost interest and signed his name quickly.

    Yang Fan took the termination contract and was about to leave. As he left, he said, “I wonder if CEO Song treats Yan Ge the same way he treated me? If so, then Yan Ge is really unlucky.”

    He had a good impression of Yan Ye and didn’t want the other party to be treated this way by CEO Song.

    Song Yang’s face turned gloomy. He didn’t speak for a long time.

    He hadn’t seen Yan Ye in half a month. Fortunately, tonight was the company’s anniversary celebration, and the entertainment company Yan Ye was with had long been acquired. Invitation cards for the actors had been sent out, and it remained to be seen if the other party would come tonight.

    At 7 PM, Yan Ye was forcibly brought to the company’s annual meeting by his agent under the pretext of getting to know the higher-ups. The agent’s eyes scanned around, and soon he spotted several familiar actors and a few people who were clearly higher-ups.

    “See that bald one? He’s CEO Zhang of the company. You should go say hello to him later and make yourself known,” the agent said, narrowing his eyes, and handed Yan Ye a glass of wine.

    Yan Ye looked over carelessly, a faint smile on his lips, and didn’t respond to the agent’s words.

    He didn’t like to proactively talk to people. The agent watched anxiously but could do nothing. He could only take the wine glass himself and go talk to those higher-ups, hoping to leave a good impression and further his career.

    Yan Ye found a place to sit and tasted the wine. He didn’t turn his head slightly until someone sat beside him, revealing a face with handsome contours.

    Song Yang’s attire today was different from when he was on Half Moon Island, more formal and with a touch more nobility than before.

    A watch worth over a million yuan was on his wrist, and a tailored suit perfectly showcased his figure. A perfect physique paired with a handsome face was enough to make many people fall madly in love with him.

    However, Yan Ye was not among them. He didn’t see any desire for him in Yan Ye’s clear eyes.

    Song Yang wasn’t giving up. He was waiting, waiting for the effect of the drug to kick in. Since CEO Yan had drunk the wine given by his agent, there was no way he could easily leave this hotel.

    In the luxurious suite on the top floor of the hotel, Yan Ye wasn’t unconscious. The source of his body heating up, he had guessed the moment he saw Song Yang. He accepted Song Yang’s invitation and came to this room.

    Following his body’s desires, he pressed down a guy who was fixated on him and didn’t know his limits. His forceful movements had no gentleness at all, causing the person beneath him to repeatedly try to escape, clawing and scratching at his back.

    Song Yang regretted it for a second in his heart. He should have prepared some medicine to make people weak; he wouldn’t be so miserable otherwise.

    “Yan Ye, you T.M.D., I’m your boss, you… you don’t go too far.” Song Yang said, blushing with shame. His long legs were pulled up high, his lower back was suspended, his fingers weakly clutched the bedsheet, and his beautiful eyes were misty.

    Yan Ye turned a deaf ear, only changing his posture, lifting the person by the waist, letting their legs wrap around his waist, and their arms tightly hugging his neck.

    After adapting, Song Yang stopped cursing, his lips letting out beautiful, broken sounds. When he looked up, he could see Yan Ye’s expressionless face. Feeling displeased, he lifted his head, wanting to kiss Yan Ye.

    Yan Ye turned his cheek away. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, their lips brushed past his cheek. Song Yang’s eyes darkened, feeling both angry and annoyed. His fingers tightened their grip. At the same time, he bit his lip hard, preventing any sound from escaping.

    Just as dawn was breaking, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Yan Ye finished his shower, dressed, and came out, his expression indifferent. “I hope CEO Song pretends this never happened.”

    He knew the sleeping Song Yang in bed wasn’t really asleep.

    Sure enough, as soon as he finished his sentence, he heard a sneer.

    “You want to pretend it didn’t happen? That’s fine, how about you do it to me once?”

    So the person on the bottom wasn’t you, and you can say such scum bag remarks so calmly! Want to pretend nothing happened? Not a chance!

    Song Yang thought coldly in his heart, his expression involuntarily showing a cold smile.

    Yan Ye’s face sank as he looked up at him. “Does CEO Song dare say the drug in my wine wasn’t put there by you?”

    Song Yang lay in bed. Although covered by a blanket, he was wearing nothing underneath. Now, being looked at by Yan Ye with that kind of gaze, he felt inexplicably chilly, and his tone was a bit weak. “You drank it carelessly yourself, don’t blame me!”

    Yan Ye, “…” He was almost amused by the anger. He put the drug specifically for him, and now he’s blaming him for drinking it carelessly?

    Too lazy to argue with him, Yan Ye withdrew his gaze and left without looking back, leaving Song Yang in the room to sulk.

    Today was another day where he wanted to blacklist Yan Ye! So frustrating, but there was nothing he could do!

    Song Yang recuperated for two days and returned to work at the company. On his first day back, the receptionist told his secretary that someone wanted to see him, a guest from the previous adventure show.

    Just as he thought it was Yan Ye, and suppressed the slight agitation in his heart, telling them to bring the person to his office, he discovered it wasn’t Yan Ye.

    When Song Yang saw that the visitor was Huo Sang, his expression became very cold. “Is there something you need?”

    Huo Sang’s expression this time wasn’t as carefree as when he was filming the show. “I came to make a deal with CEO Song.”

    Song Yang didn’t have much interaction with Huo Sang and was not very interested in the deal he mentioned. “What deal?”

    “The truth about the deaths on Half Moon Island twenty years ago.” Huo Sang looked up and stared at Song Yang, trying to observe his every move to gain advantageous information for himself.

    So many years had passed, and the truth about the deaths on Half Moon Island had never been made public, indicating that the Song family didn’t want the public to know the truth and had kept it hidden until now.

    And now he was using the truth of this matter to make a deal with Song Yang, it just depended on whether Song Yang was willing to trade with him.

    Song Yang leaned back into the sofa, his legs crossed, one hand resting on his knee, the other stretched out on the sofa. His smile was light. “Do you think anyone would believe you if you told them what you saw that night?” He changed the subject, “However, I am quite curious what you want to trade for from me?”

    The more arrogant Song Yang’s posture was, the less confident Huo Sang felt. “Where is Song Wang?”

    Hearing his own name, Song Yang’s smile instantly disappeared, and the way he looked at Huo Sang changed into scrutiny. His tone was much more sarcastic than before. “Tsk tsk tsk, you participated in the Half Moon Island adventure show to find that sickly guy?”

    He knew the Song Wang Huo Sang was talking about was not himself.

    Huo Sang was silent.

    Song Yang smiled, and under Huo Sang’s surprised gaze, he announced the name of a sanatorium and kindly told him that the person’s name was no longer Song Yang, but Song Wang.

    The existence of Song Wang was like Tang Fei’s obsessive delusion about her older sister. This name was also given by Tang Fei herself at the time. She knew this was wishful thinking, but she was also obsessed.

    The two children officially swapped back. The former Song Yang became Song Wang, and the Song Wang from the orphanage became the current Song Yang.

    The Song family always felt that family shame should not be publicized, so they suppressed everything tightly, and no one outside discovered it.

    Huo Sang got the information he wanted and couldn’t wait to find his childhood friend. “Thank you, CEO Song, for being willing to tell me. I will also keep the matter of Half Moon Island buried in my heart forever.”

    Song Yang smiled dismissively. “Suit yourself.”

    Huo Sang left in a hurry. Downstairs at the company, he spotted a familiar figure. Without thinking, he told Qin Yan to drive him to a place.

    At the sanatorium outside Rong City, Huo Sang got out of the car impatiently as soon as they arrived. The action of closing the door revealed a hint of excitement. “Qin Yan, you go back first.”

    He didn’t say anything else, treating Qin Yan like a driver.

    Qin Yan didn’t follow him in. He had asked his family elders for Song Yang’s private phone number and sat in the driver’s seat to make the call.

    “CEO Song, I am Qin Yan.” Qin Yan’s deep voice had no emotion, his eyes fixed in the direction of the sanatorium.

    He wondered who was in there that made Huo Sang so excited.

    The person on the other end of the phone said something, Qin Yan gave a strained thank you and hung up, continuing to wait for Huo Sang.

    Huo Sang stayed at the sanatorium for three hours. When he came out and saw Qin Yan’s car was still there, he walked over in surprise. “You didn’t leave?”

    Qin Yan had been resting with his eyes closed. Hearing his voice, he immediately opened his eyes. “Waiting for you to come back.”

    Hearing this, for some reason, Huo Sang felt a bit guilty and dared not meet his gaze. “Didn’t I tell you to leave first?”

    He opened the passenger seat door and heard a deep male voice by his ear. “You didn’t want me to wait for you?”

    Huo Sang’s action of fastening his seatbelt paused. He turned his head to look at the room outside the window, his voice light as air. “Qin Yan, we are childhood friends, aren’t we?”

    Qin Yan’s hands were on the steering wheel, the veins on his wrists prominent. He didn’t answer.

    People who knew them knew they were childhood friends, growing up together since they were young. People who didn’t know them thought they were arch-rivals!

    Thinking of finally seeing the person he had been yearning for, Huo Sang made up his mind. “I found him, my first love.”

    Qin Yan’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He said, “Mm,” and after dropping Huo Sang off at his destination, he added, “Congratulations.”

    When Huo Sang was a child, there was a period when he really liked Lego, but his allowance had been restricted since he was small. So when he saw the familiar limited edition Lego set in the children’s room on Half Moon Island, Qin Yan’s gaze had been fixed on Huo Sang, noticing the complete nostalgia and longing in his eyes.

    Huo Sang had someone in his heart and was looking for someone, but he had never told Qin Yan.
