In the simplicity of two words, her voice carried no fluctuations, calm and even laced with a hint of laughter.
Yet, the icy chill in her words was unmistakable to anyone listening.
Su Yangâs heart sank at the sound.
Having been saved by Si Fuqing before, he had never worried about her capabilities.
Back when he was working at a bar, gangsters from the underworld once stormed in.
Dozens of them attacked, but Si Fuqing remained nonchalant.
This was the first time Su Yang had heard her speak with such a tone.
âBig sister, Iâve checked the surveillance footage; there are at least six of them,â Su Yang paused before continuing, âIâve also contacted some people to look into it. The terrain around Yi City is complex, butâ¦â
âItâs fine, I know. The only way to approach without drawing attention and save time is from your program teamâs side. Iâm on my way; she will be safe,â Si Fuqing replied, her voice calm.
Feeling the break of a talisman, she, as the maker, was naturally aware.
âWhat can I do to help?â Su Yang asked, his lips pressed tightly together. âIâve also found Miss Jiangâs phone. Should I bring it to you?â
âDo this instead: contact her family,â Si Fuqing instructed. âIs there a Jiang Changfeng in her contacts?â
Su Yang checked Jiang Changningâs contacts. âNo, but thereâs someone listed as
âLonely for a Lifetimeâ.â
Si Fuqing paused before responding, âThatâs the one. Heâs Ningningâs big brother. Tell him everything, exactly as it is, but make it more dramatic. Iâll head over first.â
Su Yang was puzzled.
Dramatic?
Though he didnât understand, he followed Si Fuqingâs instructions and called âLonely for a Lifetimeâ. âHello, Mr. Jiang, thereâs something I need to tell youâ¦â Turning, Si Fuqing headed right.
Todayâs banquet, organized by Tianle Media, had not only reserved the venue but also cleared the surrounding area.
Dressed simply in a T-shirt, jeans, and a baseball cap, with sunglasses covering half of her face, Si Fuqing stood out from the other guests.
Most people only glanced briefly at her before moving on.
âHey! Si Fuqing!â Cen Xiaosi, who had arrived with Si Fuqing, saw her and shouted, âWhere are you going? The banquet has started, and Manager Luo is urging us.â
There was no response.
In a matter of seconds, Si Fuqingâs figure had vanished into the street, leaving Cen Xiaosi stamping her foot in frustration.
Meng Xue had other agencies vying for her, unlike Cen Xiaosi, who remained with Tianle Media.
Her contract had been downgraded due to the disbandment of the Starry Star Girls, leaving her with very limited resources.
If not for Si Fuqingâs forceful demand for a contract termination with Tianle Media, Cen Xiaosi wouldnât be on the brink of being shelved.
A gleam of sharp intelligence flashed in Cen Xiaosiâs eyes.
Seeing an opportunity with Si Fuqingâs departure, Cen Xiaosi decided not to complain to Manager Luo.
She nlanned to use the occasion to network with notential snonsors. naving her way in the entertainment industry.
Elsewhere, six black-clad bodyguards, split between two cars, were hurrying to the banquetâs location.
âThis little star is quite attractive; how come sheâs not famous?â one bodyguard commented, lighting a cigarette. âBeing noticed by Mr. Hilton is her good fortune.â
Having served Tianle Media for many years, they were familiar with the name Hilton but knew they werenât in a position to even catch his glance.
They were vaguely aware that Hilton came from a prominent family in the Western Continent and was surrounded by extraordinary individuals.
Once, they accidentally witnessed one of Hiltonâs guards making stones levitate.
Jiang Changning, a minor celebrity, should feel lucky for the chance to enter Hiltonâs circle.
âHey, maybe heâs just playing with her,â another bodyguard chimed in. âIf Mr. Hilton is pleased, who knows, he might reward us?â
As they joked among themselves, a figure suddenly appeared in front of their vehicle.
âScreech! â
The driver braked just in time, stopping an inch from hitting the person.
He got out of the car, shouting angrily, âAre you looking to die? I could run you over right nowâget lostââ
His sentence was cut short as Si Fuqing placed her hand on his shoulder and swiftly twisted his wrist.
âBang!â
In an instant, the world spun for the bodyguard as he was slammed to the ground, head first, knocking him unconscious..
