“You should turn yourself in, I will take care of Xiao Yu. Don’t worry, once this public opinion storm passes, I will try to use my connections to reduce your sentence and prevent you from suffering. Xiao Yu and I will wait for you to come out.”

Jessica Feng couldn’t help but cry, terrified.

“You have to remember, we all rise and fall together. If Mr. Gu falls, we all perish. Now, if you go in, your daughter can continue to enjoy a wealthy life and receive a good education. You should be clear about which is more important. It’s just a pity that you happened to provoke someone who Mr. Gu temporarily fears.”

“Mr. Gu has someone he fears?” Jessica Feng had always thought that someone in Mr. Gu’s position wouldn’t be afraid of anyone.

“How can you be so naive?” The man shook his head.

“It’s not fear, it’s scruples. Are you familiar with the phrase ‘corner a snake and it will bite back’?.”

Jessica Feng didn’t understand; she only knew that she had to go to jail.

“You have to promise me one condition.”

Seeing her compliance, Li Yang’s face relaxed a bit, and he nodded.

Jessica Feng stared at him resentfully, her teeth clenched, “Help me take revenge, I want that Ming Jing to die a horrible death.”

Li Yang furrowed his brow, but in order to appease Jessica Feng, he could only temporarily agree.

“She has repeatedly challenged Mr. Gu’s authority, displeasing his cousin. Naturally, she won’t have a good end. You turning yourself in is just a temporary measure. Do you know how many people are watching Mr. Gu now? He can’t have any black marks, so you have to take the fall this time.”

Li Yang’s gentle voice calmed Jessica Feng. She was not foolish; initially, she was just scared, and now, having been enlightened by Li Yang, she could only accept her fate.

“You must get me out as soon as possible.”

Li Yang nodded gently.

Jessica Feng hugged Li Yang and cried for a while, then got out of the car and walked towards the police station.

Li Yang said that she must turn herself in publicly, so everything would be out in the open and not give opportunists any chances.

As a result, she was pelted with eggs and vegetable leaves, all fresh, but the humiliation was simply devastating for someone like Jessica Feng.

As Li Yang watched Jessica Feng being surrounded by the crowd, he was about to drive away when his eyes caught a black car parked across the street. Inside the half-lowered window, the young girl’s fair and beautiful face left a deep impression on him.

Their eyes met, and Li Yang was startled. In the moment he hesitated, the car window closed, hiding the girl’s face and merged into the traffic, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Li Yang was still in shock, it was Ming Jing!

Li Yang didn’t bother with Jessica Feng anymore, he went to the Gu residence to see Li Yaru first. He didn’t lie to Jessica Feng; Gu Qingshan was indeed going to divorce Li Yaru. Li Yaru’s crying and pleading were useless, and Gu Qingshan even used her and Li Yang’s past deeds to threaten her. Li Yaru became so angry that she fell ill and was bedridden.

When Li Yang arrived at the Gu residence, he asked the maid, “Did your master come home last night?”

The maid nodded, “He did, and he was in a terrible mood. He slept in the study last night.”

Li Yang nodded and sneaked into the study while the maid was cooking. The study room door was locked, but he found a key in a flowerpot outside the door and entered.

The couple had grown increasingly suspicious of each other over the years. He had prepared for this day and had a backup plan.

Li Yang reached into a potted plant in the corner and retrieved a bug, replaced it with a new one, and quickly left the study after a swift glance around.

“Yaru, this time it’s my fault for getting you involved.” Li Yang looked at the frail woman lying in bed, full of pity.

“I knew your wife couldn’t be trusted, but you wouldn’t listen. Sure enough, now there’s trouble.” Li Yaru started coughing with a pale face as she spoke.

Li Yang patted her back and gently said, “You just focus on recovering now. Leave the other matters to me, I won’t let Gu Qingshan divorce you.”

“Cousin, do you have a plan?” Li Yaru quickly asked.Li Yang said with a gloomy gaze: “Gu Qingshan is meeting with Ming Jing at eight o’clock tonight.”

“What? Zhu Mingjing, that little bitch, is behind all of this. I knew she was no good the first time I saw her, but somehow she managed to completely charm Madam Jiang. Just wait until I get better; I’ll teach her a lesson.”

“She’s not easy to deal with. Don’t act recklessly,” Li Yang warned.

Li Yaru, having been by Gu Qingshan’s side for many years and mingling among various high-ranking officials’ wives, understood this principle well.

But she just couldn’t swallow her anger.

“If she uses this incident to make a big deal, Gu Qingshan is done for. Don’t forget, Shen Zhou and Shen Changjian are on the same side, and Zhu Mingjing has the people’s support. A further disadvantage is that during the car accident, she saved a life. She has everything in her favor.”

“So, what should we do?” Li Yaru gritted her teeth in hatred.

“I have a rough idea of what Gu Qingshan is going to do. Although this move to drain the boiling pot from the bottom is poisonous, it’s very clever…” Li Yang sneered.

“Will Qingshan still divorce me?” Li Yaru asked anxiously.

Li Yang glanced at her: “It’s not that easy to succeed. We still need to keep a backup plan, like this…”

Ming Jing went home, changed her clothes, and left for the appointment at seven.

“Wait a second.” Just as the elevator was about to close, a figure flashed in.

Ming Jing looked up. The young man was wearing casual black clothes, a baseball cap, and a mask. His eyes, exposed outside, were as bright as the morning star.

“Are you going out this late?”

Ming Jing nodded.

“I’m free anyway. How about I be your bodyguard?”

“A big star being my bodyguard is a bit of an understatement.”

“No, no, I’m honored to do it,” Qu Feitai said hurriedly.

“Let’s go to Jingzhou.” The elevator went straight to the underground garage. Ming Jing got in the car without a glance at Qu Feitai and drove away directly.

Qu Feitai sighed. He had waited at the door for a day, only to exchange two sentences when Ming Jing finally went out.

The silence in the underground garage was broken by the ringing of a cell phone. As soon as Qu Feitai answered, Huang Chao’s voice rushed out like a machine gun: “I beg you, please come back as soon as possible. You just left, and I have to clean up the mess. You have such a big heart. I have to apologize to the director, the advertisers, and even Xu Lian’er and Zhou Zhengru. I have lost all my dignity.”

Online opinions about Qu Feitai’s move varied, with some shipping him with Ming Jing and others berating him for getting arrogant since becoming famous… Huang Chao apologized to everyone during the day and fought against online trolls at night, grieving as his hair became increasingly thin.

“I think you have too much free time, so I found something for you to do.”

Huang Chao took out some quick-acting heart-relief pills and poured them into his mouth: “You’re going to be the death of me.”

“I don’t believe you didn’t take the opportunity to tear a chunk of flesh from the production team.”

“Nothing can hide from your eyes, boy. The production team is too bullying, so of course, I had to strike first. Who would wait for them to pour dirty water on us first? Hmph… If we don’t fight back, they really think we’re easy to bully. When are you coming back? Have you seen your goddess yet?”

“I have an 8 am flight tomorrow. I have something to do first.”

Qu Feitai got in his car and dialed a phone number before starting the car.

“Hello, Xiao Fei?”

“Come out and have a drink with me.” Qu Feitai stepped on the accelerator, and the car shot out like an arrow.
