Chapter 145
Whew … Thank god. Ling Yuyan let out a deep sigh of relief. Thank god. Thank god.
“But, big brother, what if I tell you that you met a girl, and when you first got to know her, she wasn’t a homewrecker or anything. But after a while, you found out that she actually is. What would you do?”
“I … I don’t know. If that’s the case, and I already liked her before I found out, then maybe … I would still choose to stand by her. After all, feelings are complicated, and no one can really say for sure.”
It’s over. Mom, Dad, your son has gone astray. You’ve raised a damn rebound guy.
…
By the time it was past 4 PM, Ye Aotian had finally wrapped up his scenes. He was the last one to finish.
The director’s team mentioned that they would be filming some crowd scenes next, while Ye Aotian decided to head home. He needed to make some preparations and investigate certain individuals.
But as soon as he got home, he received some bad news. Someone had been kidnapped.
It was Feifei.
This left Ye Aotian completely baffled. Normally, whenever he went anywhere, Feifei would always accompany him. After all, Feifei was his manager, so it made perfect sense for him to stay by his side. But why had someone specifically chosen to kidnap Feifei?
Recalling his previous conversations, Ye Aotian’s anger flared up instantly.
“Are you looking to die? Let my person go!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll let him go. I just wanted to ask him a few questions, that’s all. Relax, I just want to see how loyal your people really are.”
“If you dare lay a hand on him, I swear I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you!”
Ye Zifeng laughed recklessly and said, “Relax. I’m not that cruel. I’m a very reasonable person. I only invited him over as a guest.”
“You … You better not go too far. I’m warning you.”
The call ended.
At 5 PM, inside a certain room, Ye Zifeng sat with his legs crossed, looking at Feifei.
“I didn’t expect you to choose Ye Aotian. Honestly, I don’t get it. Is it just because of his looks?”
“Ye Aotian is definitely going to be famous.”
Heh.
Ye Zifeng said, “You still don’t understand the seriousness of this situation, do you? To be honest, our family also owns an entertainment company. We’ve always wanted to recruit you. But not only did you refuse, you even chose Ye Aotian. I want to know why.”
“What’s there to explain? I’m a talent scout. I find people who have potential and follow my instincts. If I feel it, then I know that person is going to be famous.”
That much had to be acknowledged.
The most impressive thing about Feifei’s character setting was that as a manager, he had the ability to turn a rising star into a true celebrity. Anyone Feifei personally approved or managed was guaranteed to become a big hit. But if Ye Zifeng wanted to learn more about Ye Aotian from Feifei, it seemed like he would have to put in some extra effort.
At that moment, a man walked in carrying a syringe.
“Inject him.”
It was a truth serum. Once injected, the person would be compelled to answer any question honestly.
Feifei was tied up, completely unable to resist.
“Why did you choose Ye Aotian?”
“Because … I like him.”
Ye Zifeng immediately perked up. The men in the room all tensed up, instinctively taking a step back.
What the hell? What the actual hell? How did this conversation take such an unexpected turn?
“You like Ye Aotian?”
“I love him. I really like him. I truly hope that he can become my wife.”
What the f— Wait a damn second. You’re not even the submissive one? You’re the dominant one?! What the hell?!
At that moment, Ye Zifeng felt like he had just stumbled upon some earth-shattering revelation.
…
Although people in certain circles knew about these things, Ye Aotian … this shouldn’t be happening. Didn’t this guy already have a girlfriend?
“Ye Aotian has a girlfriend. Why do you still like him?”
“I just want to silently protect him. As long as I can have him just once, I’ll be satisfied. I don’t ask for more.”
Have him once.
Wait—did that mean … they had already been intimate? What the hell? That wasn’t what his intel had said! Did that mean the information he had was wrong?
Ye Zifeng immediately sent a message to No. 7: “Is your intel wrong?”
“My intel is never wrong.”
“I … I’m not doubting you. I’m just curious—you told me Ye Aotian was a womanizer, right?”
“Yes, he is. He falls for every woman he meets. But he’s never actually gotten any of them. That information is correct.”
“Then why did he … sleep with this guy?”
“Oh, you didn’t ask about that.”
Damn it. You damn scammer.
“Fine. How much?”
“I have a video. A fully recorded video—about three hours long. Do you want to see it?”
“Bullshit. Three hours? Why not say three days? Fine, I’ll buy it. How much?”
“$500,000 for the ten-minute version. $5 million for the full three-hour version. Do you want it?”
What the hell.
“I’ll watch first. The money will be in your account soon. Send me the three-hour version. If it’s real, I’ll give you an extra $10 million. But you delete everything related to this and never sell it to anyone else.”
“Of course. As long as you pay, I won’t leak it. Don’t worry, I keep my word.”
Soon, the video was sent over.
Ye Zifeng silently opened it.
After watching for about five minutes … Ye Zifeng’s phone dropped to the floor as he clung to a trash can, vomiting his guts out.
“What the f—!” Ye Zifeng gasped, “This … this isn’t edited, right?”
“You think I’d waste my time on something like that? Hahaha. Shocked? Here’s a free piece of information, just because you’re such a generous customer—Ye Aotian actually has no idea this happened.”
What the hell.
Ye Zifeng asked, “What the hell happened?”
“If you want the rest of the story, you’ll have to pay for it. But don’t worry, it’s not expensive—just $100,000.”
Ye Zifeng wired the money immediately.
No. 7 said, “Cao Zijin did it. I don’t know why she did it, but she was the one who planned the whole thing. She drugged Feifei first. Then, she gave Ye Aotian a sleeping drug. You get it now, right?”
What the hell. This woman … is terrifying.
Ye Zifeng took a deep breath.
He had completely underestimated just how insane this woman was.
If this got out, Ye Aotian’s reputation would be ruined. But at the same time, this couldn’t be exposed. Because no matter how thin his bloodline was, Ye Aotian was still a member of the Ye family.
That wasn’t something that could be changed. There were definitely people watching. If this leaked, the entire Ye family’s reputation would go down the drain.
For Ye Zifeng, going after Ye Aotian was one thing. But protecting the Ye family’s name was another. He had no interest in inheriting the family head position. He was only doing this to help his older brother.
But this … this had completely shattered his understanding of how far people were willing to go.
“I have more information if you want it. But it’s not free—there’s a video too. If you don’t need it, forget it.”
“Is it about Ye Aotian?”

“It’s about the women around him.” Ye Zifeng hesitated for a long time.
In the end, he wired the money over.
