Let Me Ask Him

Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.

Mom, I'm going to the Restroom.

Song Xun whispered something to Wu Yurong, then picked up his bag, got up, and left.

He left the Private Dining Room and closed the door behind him. There were few people in the corridor outside, except for Chu Ye standing guard at the door.

Song Xuan went straight to the Restroom after leaving the house.

Song Xuan's phone suddenly rang. He stopped and took his phone out of his bag. It was an Unknown Number calling.

Song Xue could guess that it was probably another call from an entertainment company or agency. He was also considering whether or not to sign with an entertainment company. He couldn't possibly give up his studies and debut directly, and Wu Yurong wouldn't allow it either.

Singing is his hobby, but that doesn't mean he can't sign with an entertainment company. If he wants his songs to become more popular and widely sung, he needs the professional management of an entertainment company. Whether he makes money or not, Song Xue doesn't care. His family is just too rich. Singing is just a hobby for him.

However, considering the issues of song management, if we were to sign with a professional company, it would definitely have to be a big one.

Although some well-known music companies have called Song Xuan in the past few days, he feels they are not big enough. He wants to sign with the top Song Xuan.

The phone was still ringing. Song Xuan thought for a moment and then answered the call. He didn't have the habit of hanging up on people; it was very impolite.

Hello!

He held the phone to his ear and proclaimed in alarm.

Are you Miss Song Xuan, the second young lady?

A very magnetic female voice came from the phone.

It's me.

Who are you?

Song Xuan asked.

I am An Menglan. I apologize for bothering you.

An Menglan?

Song Xue was struck dumb, startled, and excited, almost crying out.

He quickly covered his mouth, his face flushed with excitement, and jumped up and down on the spot like a little girl.

An Menglan, whose ancestral home Jiangkou Special Zone, Guangdong Province, is a female singer from Xiangjiang Huayun and a rising star in the Music Industry.

She debuted at the age of 17 as the champion of the Xiang River Folk Song Competition. In the same year, she won 7 Golden Melody Awards, including Best Almond and Best Single, and defended her title as Best Female Singer the following year.

At the age of 19, An Menglan developed her career in mainland China and quickly swept the entire Chinese Pop Music Scene with her magnetic voice, versatile singing style and unparalleled high notes, winning awards left and right and being crowned the queen of pop.

In the same year, she was invited to participate in the New Year's Gala and performed on stage.

At the age of 20, just as her vision was reaching its peak, An Menglan suddenly retired, reportedly to study music in Austria.

At the age of 22, An Menglan made her official comeback after a two-year hiatus from the Chinese Pop Music Scene, releasing her third album, Dream, which once again swept the music scene.

The title track from the album "Dream" became so catchy that it was played everywhere in the country that year.

At the age of 24, after a year of concerts, An Menglan disappeared from the public eye again, but did not announce her retirement.

An Menglan has her own music company, and it is said that she is transitioning to behind-the-scenes work, with her future career focusing on company management, talent discovery, training, and building trust.

In the Chinese Pop Music Scene, An Menglan has many titles, such as the Queen of Qin Songs and the Queen of Iron Boiling Fields. Her vocal range is particularly wide, with sweet low notes and clean, clear high notes. She is one of the very few female singers in the Music Industry who can be praised as having a natural talent.

In fact, An Menglan's popularity has declined in the past two years due to her lack of public appearances. Compared with female singers who have become popular through talent shows in the past two years, her fans are much less active online. However, An Menglan has a very high level of recognition and an astonishing number of die-hard fans. Moreover, everyone understands that as long as An Menglan releases a new album, it will inevitably sweep the market again. Her established status in the Music Industry is unmatched by any of the newcomers.

But it seems he doesn't want to sing anymore.

Even today, An Menglan is still considered a rising star in the Chinese Pop Music Scene and a leader among new female singers, because she has only been low-key for two years and is only 26 years old this year.

Song Xuan knew An Menglan extremely well; she even knew An Menglan's birth date and time. This was because she was An Menglan's fan, or even a die-hard fan.

He can sing all of An Menglan's songs. He also went to An Menglan's concert a few years ago and vowed to be a fan of An Menglan for life.

Given Song Xuan's family background, he knew more about An Menglan's background than most people. Huaxing Entertainment, currently one of the top three entertainment media companies in the country, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xiangjiang Huaxing Group. Huaxing Group is a diversified conglomerate with businesses including finance, real estate, hotels, media, and film. The company has five listed subsidiaries alone. Huaxing Entertainment is just a part of Huaxing Group, whose total assets exceed 100 billion yuan.

An Menglan's father is named An Huaiguo, who is currently the head of the board of directors of Huaxing Group. She is An Huaiguo's youngest daughter and the apple of the An Family's eye.

An Menglan's background in the entertainment industry can only be described as having extraordinary connections, but she didn't become famous because of her family's support. Anyone who understands music and singing knows how incredibly talented An Menglan is, having reached her peak right from her debut. She's like Great Demon King, and almost every era produces singers with absolute dominance. An Menglan is one of those singers. She should have become the most dominant female singer in the Chinese Pop Music Scene in this era, but she didn't, precisely because of her family background.

An Menglan entered the music industry as a hobby. She won almost every honor a singer could receive, then went on a year-long tour to fully realize her musical dreams before transitioning to behind-the-scenes work.

Song Xuan has been a fan of An Menglan for many years; she is also her idol.

She was so excited that she couldn't speak when she suddenly received a call from her idol.

It's me, Miss Su. How are you?

An Menglan's voice rang out again; she had clearly heard something slightly off about Song Xuan's voice.

I'm perfectly fine, Miss An.

Song Xuan tried his best to control his emotions as he spoke, but his voice trembled slightly from being so happy and excited. "It's like this, Miss Su, to be frank, I've listened to your song and I really like it. I don't know if you're signed with a company. If not, I'd like to invite you to our company. You can consider it. If possible, we can discuss it in person."

An Menglan used very formal language to say hello, "I'm fine."

Song Xun was so excited that he agreed rather hastily, not expecting it to go so smoothly.

An Mengla was a little surprised, and then asked, "Miss Song, you and Mr. Wu Chen are friends, right? I wonder if you could help introduce us, or give me his phone number? He's very outstanding." "Okay, no problem, I'll ask him and call you back right away. Just a moment."

Very soon.

Song Xuan immediately agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Song Xuan turned around and ran towards the door of the Private Dining Room. When he got there, he pushed the door open and rushed in.

Senior Song Xuan called out as soon as he entered the room, then his voice abruptly stopped.

The excited Song Xuan was completely stunned, and even his excitement subsided instantly. He stared wide-eyed at the Private Dining Room.

He saw Wu Yurong sitting in Wu Chen, his arms wrapped around Wu Chen's neck, and both of Wu Chen turning their heads to look at the doorway.

Wu Yurong didn't even have time to get up before she was seen.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Song Xun was stunned, while Wu Yurong was dumbfounded.

Going to the toilet doesn't happen that quickly, it probably takes less than a minute.

He was panicking, his mind racing, trying to think of an explanation, but he couldn't think of one, and therefore couldn't explain it.

Wu Chen looked at Song Xuan, then glanced at Wu Yurong, and then looked back at Song Xuan. He was very calm; this unexpected situation was not a problem for him, and he could handle it.

The silence lasted for a full 10 seconds. Except for Wu Chen, everyone else seemed frozen in place, neither moving nor standing still.

The phone rang suddenly; it was Wu Chen's.

Wu Chen remained calm, casually took out his phone, glanced at it, answered the call, and asked, "What's wrong?"

He committed suicide?

Old Blade's voice came through the phone, Wu Chen frowned slightly.

Although Old Blade only said that he committed suicide, Wu Chen knew without asking that he was referring to Jiang Chuan.

What happened?

Wu Chen asked a question.

The old Daoist Old Blade was concise, explaining that he himself couldn't see the specifics of the situation, as he was still in the hospital and receiving reports over the phone, so he couldn't go into too much detail.

He was locked in his room, and while the others were in the living room, he climbed out the window and jumped from the eighth floor. His head was fractured from the impact. Many people downstairs saw it, and the Police had already arrived.

Willowbank Apartments?

Wu Chen asked.

After a moment of silence, he apologized to the old man, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, I didn't make the arrangements well. I don't blame you."

Wu Chen interrupted directly, saying that there's no reason to blame anyone for suicide; if someone wants to die, they can die any way they want.

Wu Chen had spoken with the Old Blade on the phone at noon, so he knew where Jiang Chuan was being held.

It's an old apartment building where renting is very convenient, but the building is a bit messy, and some women rent rooms there to run businesses.

Wu Chen also learned about the East Sea; she knew the overall situation of Willowbank Apartments.

So she wondered, did Jiang Chuan commit suicide or try to escape to the Eighth Floor? Did he intentionally jump and die, or did he try to climb the outer wall to escape but accidentally fell and died?

When people are driven to the brink, they're capable of anything.

The exterior structure, design, air conditioning, foreign platform, and water pipe location of the Willowbank Apartments are indeed climbable and theoretically feasible.

Wu Chen thought about it for a moment, but didn't dwell on it too much. Whether he accidentally fell to his death while running or actually committed suicide, the result was the same: he was dead.

Furthermore, whether Jiang Chuan risked his life to escape or committed suicide, the reason was the same: fear.

Given Ding Family Chuan's current predicament, he must believe he is doomed, so he is not thinking of himself, but of the women and children abroad.

On the day he was arrested, he first shook off everyone else, went back to the house alone to get his passport, and then disappeared.

The Ding Family wouldn't believe he was arrested; instead, they'd assume he botched the East Sea operation and fled abroad out of fear of death. Ding Family 'd definitely be looking for him. He'd worked for the Ding Family for 20 years; he knew too many of the Ding Family secrets. It would be strange if the Ding Family didn't search for him, even if his wife and Ding Family were abroad. So, if it were suicide, he'd make the news, the Ding Family would know he was dead, and they wouldn't bother his wife and children.

If he's running away, it's naturally to protect his woman and children. As long as he can go abroad to meet them, he can handle everything.

Jiang Chuan's personal abilities are extremely strong; otherwise, he wouldn't have been trusted and relied upon by two generations of the Ding Family.

While Wu Chen Old Blade on the phone, Wu Yurong finally came to her senses. She immediately left Wu Chen's embrace, stood up, and took two steps to the side, keeping her distance from Wu Chen. She looked at Song Xuan with an expression that said nothing.

Song Xun seemed unable to recover, staring wide-eyed at Wu Yurong, then at Wu Chen, then back at Wu Yurong, looking back and forth at him. He slowly raised his left hand, his fingers trembling as he pointed. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out. Wu Yurong could tell that being caught by his daughter had had a tremendous impact on her mental state.

If the man Wu Yurong was holding wasn't Wu Chen, but some other man, especially a middle-aged man, Song Xuan definitely wouldn't have reacted this way. He would have felt embarrassed, ashamed, and immediately closed the door to get away.

Wu Yurong is single, and Song Xuan will support her whether she has another man or remarries.

Five or six days ago, Shi Zongxuan already knew that there was a man in the story. He found out when he got home that morning, but he just didn't see who it was.

Song Xuan could accept it, but it was Wu Chen Song Xuan who made it harder for him to accept.

Wu Chen was his senior, only two years older than him, but 20 years younger than Wu Yurong.

Furthermore, Song Xun also wondered if the person who visited his home a few days ago was Wu Chen.

If so, then he already knew his mother, so what's going on today?

Acting for yourself?

Or perhaps Zongxun even suspected that Wu Chen's offer to sell him songs was orchestrated by his mother, a conspiracy to help him achieve his musical dreams through deception?

Who was that woman with the cold voice who answered the phone that day?

Wu Chen's girlfriend?

Is he being kept by a rich woman?

Or was it arranged intentionally?

It wasn't that Song Xuan had a wild imagination; rather, he couldn't think of any reasonable explanation. His mind was like mush, and he was just making wild guesses.

He thought of many things, but the most crucial point was something he simply couldn't understand: why would his mother, divorced for over ten years, choose Wu Chen as a man?

Song Xun was at a loss for words, questions, or doubts. He simply told me that Wu Chen had talked to Lao Daodao at the end, and then hung up the phone.

After checking the time on her phone, Wu Yurong and Song Xuan were still frozen in place.

Song Xuan was bewildered, unsure where to begin, while Wu Yurong was completely at a loss for words to explain.

Neither of them paid attention to what Wu Chen said on the phone; they didn't care at all.

Wu Zhen turned her head, glanced around, and then fixed her gaze on Song Xuan standing at the door. She smiled and asked, "Classmate Song, what's wrong?"

You, you!

Song Xuan pointed, his voice trembling with excitement, his face flushed.

Xuanxuan, let me explain.

Wu Yurong suddenly spoke, taking two quick steps forward.

He was in a state of confusion because this was his daughter.

From the moment he uttered those five words, "Let me explain," the matter became incredibly difficult to resolve. His demeanor suggested guilt, which immediately put Song Xun in a victim-like state of mind, as if he thought, "Oh, you guys actually conspired to deceive me." In this kind of situation, whoever backs down first is in the wrong.

Wu Yurong chickened out first, then remained silent for a few seconds before answering one of my questions. "Why did you suddenly barge in to answer me?"

Wu Chen suddenly spoke, his voice slightly raised, and asked in a very serious tone.

Song Xuan, An An, and Mulan called me?

Zong Xun answered instinctively.

He was startled by Wu Chen's sudden questioning tone.

I understand. Okay, you two talk it over. I have something urgent to attend to.

Wu Chen smiled and stood up, then walked out and left.

Wu Yurong was bewildered and upset by Wu Chen's reaction; Wu Chen had actually dumped everything on him.

What he didn't know was that Wu Chen didn't want to waste time here; he was going to investigate some things and not waste the rest of the day.

Over the next seven hours, Wu Chen made many phone calls, went to many places, and canceled some of his original plans – he was quite impulsive.

Around 11 p. m., Wu Chen was driving on the Ring Road Expressway in his Lamborghini, which had already reached a speed of 230 kilometers per hour and was still increasing.

At the fork in the road ahead, the Lamborghini suddenly veered off course, crashing through the "No Commuting" sign and onto the unfinished overpass.

The car's speed continued to increase.

The road ahead was blocked; the overpass was not yet connected, with more than 10 meters of empty space, yet the Lamborghini showed no sign of stopping.

At breakneck speed, the Lamborghini finally broke through the broken bridge and soared into the sky!

Yes, it flew over!

The Lamborghini flew more than ten meters and landed successfully on the opposite side of the broken bridge, but it made a huge roar.

The car's tires and suspension were almost completely destroyed in the crash.

The car was still rushing forward and had already gone out of control. It lurched five or six meters to the right before rolling over.

As the car rolled, Wu Chen in the driver's seat smiled slightly. He'd successfully made the leap; that was interesting!

The world suddenly went dark Reset.
