Chapter 862: Chapter 862

Zhou Lu, upon hearing Luo Yuwei's name and the plan she had given them, was so furious that she immediately stood up from the sofa. "How could it be her? Brother Ye has been so kind to her, taking care of her since she joined the crew, helping with her promotion, and teaching her acting. He even helped her with the voting for the Golden Cauldron Award without holding grudges. How could she do such a thing? It's simply too malicious!"

"President Bo, you must…"

She turned, her anger and excitement causing her to look at Bo Tingshen, but she was stunned by the icy glare in the man's eyes.

She remembered Luo Yuwei's arrogance, always openly and covertly making things difficult for them. She wanted to fight back but was repeatedly stopped by Brother Ye, who told her not to provoke Yuwei. She didn't understand and pestered Brother Ye several times before he finally told her the reason: it turned out that Luo Yuwei was the lifesaver of President Bo's mother.

With that, all her special treatment made sense. Even if she had schemed against Brother Ye this time, considering she was his mother's savior, President Bo probably wouldn't do anything to her, right? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel·fıre·net

Thinking of this, Zhou Lu felt both aggrieved and scared, swallowing back the words she was about to say.

"Bring Luo Yuwei and her assistant here."

In the spacious hall, a man's cold, icy voice echoed, stabbing straight to the bone.

At the Starlight Entertainment, on the 55th floor in the artist's makeup room, the makeup artist was putting on makeup for Luo Yuwei when her agent Sister Mei swept in with a cheerful breeze, whispering in Luo Yuwei's ear, "Yuwei, I just got a call…"

After listening, Luo Yuwei seemed somewhat surprised and flustered, "President Bo… wants to see me?"

Surprised because President Bo had never summoned her by name, flustered because, in an instant, the matter of Cheng Zidong flashed through her mind.

It couldn't be. Cheng Zidong promised he wouldn't betray her, and they wouldn't suspect her…

Sister Mei's smile was almost touching the sky. Seeing her bewildered reaction, she slapped her shoulder in disappointment, "What kind of expression is that? You can't believe the good fortune that's fallen in your lap? You're so small-minded!"

"Think about it. It's so late now, and President Bo called you to his private villa. What else could it be for?"

"Even if President Bo has power and status, he's still a normal man with normal needs. You're so beautiful. Have some confidence!"

Sister Mei's suggestive words caused Luo Yuwei's once extinguished hope to quietly reignite. She glanced at the black sky outside. Yes, it was so late. If President Bo was looking for her, could it be… Though blush hadn't been applied, her cheeks quietly reddened.

"See, you're smart. You get it immediately. Hurry up and finish your makeup! I'll take you there myself later!"

On the way to Xiangjiang Villa, Luo Yuwei nervously kept taking out a mirror and cushion to touch up her makeup, while Sister Mei flattered her with sweet talk from the side.

Having a young and beautiful artist under her wing was good. Once she latched onto a towering tree, she, too, could enjoy life comfortably for the rest of her days.

Finally arriving at the destination, Luo Yuwei looked at the villa, grand and magnificent under the night sky, and walked inside with a racing heartbeat.

The remote-controlled gate opened, and outside, just as the woman bit her lip and shyly raised her head, the sight before her scared her; her face suddenly turned pale, all warmth instantly draining away.

In the hall, a large group of battered individuals knelt, including a burly, tattooed man—Cheng Zidong and his crew—and under the crystal chandelier, a cold-faced, stern man sat on the main seat.

Upon seeing Zhou Lu beside them, she immediately realized what had happened. The cat was out of the bag!

Cheng Zidong turned to see her, grinding his teeth. "It's this vile woman; she's the one who egged me on, came up with this lousy plan! Otherwise, I never would have thought about kidnapping Ye Xian, nor ended up !"

Initially, he only wanted to meet with Ye Xian. She suggested he could have Ye Xian, and driven by desire, he lost his reason and took a risk. In the end, not only did he earn Ye Xian's hatred, but his family also got dragged in!

"You're talking nonsense!"

Luo Yuwei trembled, eyes wide, "You clearly framed my brother, and it was you who held a knife to my neck forcing me to give Ye Xian's contact. As for those plans and the kidnapping, I know nothing about that. What nonsense are you spouting?"

Seeing her deny everything and throw all the blame on him, Cheng Zidong was furiously baring his teeth, "You filthy ***, you certainly didn't have this face when you were plotting with me back then! You couldn't wait for me to get my hands on Ye Xian sooner…"

The two of them, like two rabid dogs, tore into each other frenziedly in the hall.

On the side, Zhou Lu stomped her feet in agitation, watching this pretentious, fake white lotus still refuse to admit her actions. What did Brother Ye ever do to her, to make her devise such a vicious plan? If not for the CEO arriving in time, she can't even imagine what might have happened to Brother Ye…

And where would she have been then? Probably somewhere reaping the benefits, living carefree and happy!

Amidst the continuous bickering, Bo Tingshen received an overseas call.

"Master, the item lost from the manor a few days ago has been found, but while requesting to view the surveillance of the neighboring vine fields of Mr. Manon's estate, I accidentally discovered another matter. The video has been sent to your mobile, please review it."

The Songwu Manor butler sent over a night-vision recording video, taken from the surveillance of Mr. Manon's vineyard neighboring the Songwu Manor wine cellar. Due to the angle of the camera, it happened to capture a part of the cellar.

In the video, Ye Xian was visibly drunk, swaying to the entrance of the cellar, curiously peeking inside. It was as if intimidated by the height and darkness; he stepped back two paces, but the next second, a pair of hands violently shoved him in.

The man's grip on the phone tightened, long fingers whitening.

The boy fell into the wine cellar, panic-stricken, hugging himself like a child, sobbing quietly...

Seeing Luo Yuwei steadfastly deny everything, Cheng Zidong played his trump card, "Still playing tough, are we? Let your brother Luo Yuxin come over and say whether the plan was yours!"

At the mention of Luo Yuxin, Luo Yuwei suddenly panicked.

She couldn't be sure that money-blind brother of hers would stand by her side. If he confessed, then she…

No, she absolutely couldn't let him come!

Thinking of this, Luo Yuwei dropped to her knees with a plop, with tears streaming down her face as she crawled toward the man holding the phone, who slowly stood up, her face written with grievance and innocence, "President Bo, I didn't harm Ye Xian, I really didn't! You must believe me, do not trust a word from this liar!"
