“All your subsequent projects will be suspended. Foremost, you will quit filming ‘In the Limelight,’” Shen Yichong suddenly said.

In an instant, Meng Xinran turned deathly pale, her knees collapsed to the ground.

“I didn’t…didn’t do anything!”

Shen Yichong, however, acted as if he was deaf to her words. He turned to the deputy director and nodded in finality. “Please ask the director team to be understanding when I pull out Guangxin artists who might be suspects before the investigation can be made clear.”

“I’m not a suspect! I did nothing wrong!” Meng Xinran, in a crazed frenzy, ran towards Yu Yaoyao. “She is clearly—”

But before she could touch a strand of Yu Yaoyao’s hair, Shen Yichong slammed his hand on the desk of the monitoring room. “Pay attention to your words and actions. Don’t slander my wife. Else, I will let my lawyer deal with you.”

His cold words froze her and in the end Meng Xinran could only look at the screen, almost choking on her spit, “How is this possible…”

“Mr. Shen, our guard had been lax. We apologize that madam Shen was given a shock today.” The chief director expressed his regret in person.

“We urgently booked a room at a nearby five-star hotel. Mr. Shen and madam Shen can settle down there for the meantime. We will certainly step up our security this time and cooperate with the police to give Mr. Shen a proper explanation. We will find the culprit responsible.”

Yu Yaoyao touched her head and said, “Then I will send that person the payment for the instant noodles and puddings as well.”

The director: “…”

Despite Yu Yaoyao’s efforts on making the atmosphere light, Shen Yichong still looked beyond icy. “Please put up my wife’s video on the internet of how she repelled this criminal tonight to prove her innocence.”

The director was stunned but when faced with the gloomy look of the other party, he finally nodded in reluctance.

“If you need further investigation, please contact me at any time.” Shen Yichong then dragged the talkative Yu Yaoyao away.

Once posted on the internet, the clip posted by ‘In the Limelight’ quickly subdued the scandal of Yu Yaoyao.

#A wretched man pretended to be a deliveryman and was knocked down by Yu Yaoyao.

#For a second, I became a younger brother and ran errands for a midnight snack!

Yu Yaoyao became a trending search once again! And because a footage was put up, no unfounded facts could sprout.

Faced with danger, Yu Yaoyao still didn’t yield. She even rebuked the criminal in anger with a tablet! And had the other party scurrying to buy instant noodles and puddings for her. Netizens found the whole process comparable to a beautiful TV series. Some police cars arrived at the scene, proving that this was not a stunt directed and filmed by the program, but a real harassment case.

Many people on the internet were impressed by Yu Yaoyao’s courage and found her cool.

[What a terrifying goddess! I’m on my knees!]

[Awesome, isn’t this fighting technique too powerful?]

[They dare to cheat this madam—get a take out! Buy it or else! Hahaha! Comedy gold!]

[In 3 seconds get me a take out—this madam is so handsome!]

Her fans have directly exceeded 500,000, with the numbers soaring every hour.

Meng Xinran browsed through Weibo alone in her room, tearing up all tissues in the vicinity.

‘The police are chasing me. Give me another 5 million else I won’t supply you anymore.’ A message from an unknown sender was sent to her phone.

“Bastard! Then take it!”

There was only monstrous jealousy and hatred on her face at the moment. She saw Yu Yaoyao drink the wine she had poured the drug. How could she have no reaction to it!? Moreover, Shen Yichong had put a halt on all her activities!

She deleted this strange text message, and gnashing her teeth, transferred another 5 million yuan to an account.

Meng Xinran took a deep breath to calm herself, yet her fingernails still dug hard on the screen. And the expression on her face no longer sweet but that of twisted madness.

And on the other side, Ni Yi, who finally arrived at the scene upon the news that something had happened, was almost frightened to the point that his legs were like jelly.

Shen Yichong asked him to always follow up on the police’s investigation and to coordinate with the program’s crew towards making the living environment safer for the contestants. And additionally, to compensate those affected, while he directly escorted, Yu Yaoyao to get on the car.

Yu Yaoyao got into the car with her small bag, a large serving of puddings, and the snake cage on the cabinet responsible for having scared the man silly. She sat at the back of the car, only to find out that the little bun was sleeping there, hugging his big, white snake plushie in his arms.

He opened his small mouth and softly mumbled, ‘mommy.’ And he seemed to have caught a whiff of his mother’s scent because he immediately turned towards her, rubbed his face on her clothes and then went back to sleep.
