When the organizers arrived, the scene was a complete mess.
Bai Ruanruan, the hottest celebrity who swept all the trending topics, was beaten black and blue, and was laughing maniacally against the corner of the wall, as if she had suffered some kind of mental illness.
The financial backer behind the show President Qin, is arguing with Nan Qing, who has powerful connections, and it seems like they could come to blows at any moment.
They may have already fought.
Otherwise, how could Bai Ruanruan have turned out like that!
Bai Ruanruan is the most precious young master of the Bai Family! Qin Mubai 'President Qin brother, who was lost in childhood and has finally returned home!
The person in charge's head was buzzing, and his whole body felt numb.
He instructed the security personnel to quickly surround the scene, and fortunately, Nan Qing and Qin Mubai calmed down after they arrived.
Nan Qing walked in front, President Qin followed behind.
Bai Ruanruan, President Qin brother, was leaning against the wall looking disheveled, ignored and uncared for.
Someone went over to help him up, and they went to call a doctor.
Bai Ruanruan, with bruises under her eyes, refused:
"No, I need a place to rest for a while."
As the last person involved was helped away, the chaotic scene returned to calm.
A few more distant claps of thunder echoed in the distance, and the pitch-black night shrouded the clouds. The extremely low air pressure seeped through the windows, and uniformed staff members closed them, sighing in dismay.
It's going to rain again.
"Why is the weather in S City always like this lately...?"
-
In the lounge, Bai Ruanruan obtained the video surveillance footage from a few minutes ago.
Throughout the scene, Nan Qing maintained a calm expression until he mentioned that person's name, attempting to provoke him with Qin Mubai. At that moment, Nan Qing's carefully constructed composure crumbled.
He had only mentioned it a few times when Nan Qing became enraged, swore for the first time, and threw a punch at him.
Then, Qin Mubai arrived.
Just like when he used to stay at the Bai Family's place, whenever Nan Qing bullied him, even if Qin Mubai saw it, he would always take her side.
Anyway, whenever Nan Qing fights with me, I'm always the one who suffers.
As always, his deep eyes widened slightly, and after confirming that Nan Qing was not injured, he pretended to pull the two of them apart.
It's a pity there's no sound in this video.
But the expressions on those two people's faces were truly pretentious.
nausea.
Qin Mubai actually likes Nan Qing?
When exactly did this happen?
It can't have started very early, can it?
No wonder Qin Mubai indulged him so much, no wonder Qin Mubai treated him so well. Maybe trash like Nan Qing had already been having an affair with Qin Mubai many years ago.
Nan Qing must have been thoroughly played with by him long ago.
Anyway, Qin Mubai is a beast who disregards morality, and Nan Qing just happens to be trying to steal his protagonist's halo.
The two of them must have hit it off immediately and had already disgustingly gotten together.
They were so good at pretending that no one noticed.
Bai Ruanruan lay on the sofa, a wide smile playing on her lips.
As he cursed the two men with the most vicious language, he imagined Nan Qing's fate and suddenly burst into laughter.
He was worried about not being able to find any leverage over Nan Qing so that he could defeat him in one fell swoop, just like he had done with Xi Juan.
But who knew that even the heavens were on his side? He had only attended a grand ceremony when Nan Qing eagerly handed him the knife.
Isn't he supposed to have a good reputation?
A darling of luxury brands, the eldest son of an old-money family, he takes acting seriously and has received praise from the director.
Once his unusual affair with Qin Mubai is exposed online, will anyone still praise him?
Those brainless dogs online will only be led by the nose. They don't think for themselves. They will just swarm like hyenas smelling carrion and tear Nan Qing to shreds.
Oh--
It's laughable that Nan Qing thinks he can compete with me for it.
Bai Ruanruan opened her notes app, edited and added details, and described in detail the disgusting relationship between Qin Mubai and Nan Qing from the perspective of a whistleblower. After editing, she saved it again.
He opened Weibo, took a picture of his injury, and posted it.
Bai Ruanruan: It seems like Mercury is going through a rough patch lately, and I've gotten hurt again/poor thing.
Keep up the good work, Xiaobai! Don't give up! / Keep going!
The accompanying photo is of his face, taken at a clever angle. After skin smoothing and filters, the injured areas aren't too gruesome, making it perfect for evoking sympathy.
Once this comment was posted, his massive fan base of over 10 million immediately became apparent.
Many people were concerned about him. Bai Ruanruan quickly scanned the comments and liked one that read, "I had a tarot reading done for my Baby. Baby's been attracting bad luck lately, so be careful."
After doing all this, Bai Ruanruan dragged the video progress bar back and forth and took a few screenshots.
A few minutes later, he switched to a secondary account, found a blogger in the entertainment industry, and sent him a private message.
"Hey, I've got some big news here, dare you spill the beans?"
-
This year's annual gala is being broadcast live, so it wouldn't be good to abruptly leave halfway through.
The assistant brought over another set of identical spare clothes. Nan Qing found an empty room to change into and washed her face again.
His image was reflected in the mirror. Nan Qing stared at it for a moment, then pushed open the door.
The tall, slender figure stood outside the door, still not having left. The raging wind and rain lashed against the window, and Qin Mubai stood by the window, his back against the boundless darkness.
His rugged, deep-set face was expressionless, but his voice was low as he looked at him and asked, "Are you injured?"
Nan Qing ignored him and walked past him to leave.
" Qingqing, I recently investigated Huo Yuzhou."
Nan Qing's jawline was taut as she turned her head.
"Are all members of your Bai Family particularly adept at threatening people?"
Qin Mubai paused, then asked, "Did Bai Ruanruan threaten you? What did she say?"
Nan Qing remained expressionless.
"It's none of your business."
" Qin Mubai, I advise you not to have any designs on Huo Yuzhou."
"You can't afford to offend him, and neither can your Qin Family."
"Besides, Yuzhou and I have a stable relationship, and we don't need someone as superfluous as you to interfere in our relationship."
Qin Mubai's long, straight eyelashes drooped, casting large shadows across his distinct features.
The emotions in his eyes were concealed; his pale face was reflected in the shadows of the corner, and his low, cold tone carried a hint of difficulty.
"I know."
I'm just afraid you don't understand, afraid you'll get bullied.
Nan Qing raised her chin and smiled gently.
" Qin Mubai, no one knows how to bully me better than you."
"It's probably fun to lie to me, and you're a better actor than anyone else."
Qin Mubai's facial features suddenly tightened, and a struggle surfaced in his deep eyes, but in the end he said nothing.
After pursing his sharply defined lips several times, he finally asked:
" Huo Yuzhou and Bai Ruanruan have a close relationship and quite a history, did you know that?"
