When Lin Fan saw Lin Gantang, his deer-like eyes lit up. He knew she was helping him, so he turned around and walked towards her gratefully.

“This Madam seems quite confident. She dares to blackmail others in broad daylight, out in the public eye. I bet she wouldn’t be singing the same tune if it weren’t for where we are now.” Lin Gantang mocked.

“And who might you be? What right do you have to interfere in my affairs?” She Zhongyu’s face darkened.

“What do you mean by private matters?” Lin Gantang cocked a brow. “This is my younger brother.”

“Little brother? Where did Lin Fan get a sister? A sister in bed?” She Zhongyu laughed.

“Madam, it appears you have a rather dirty mind.” Lin Gantang frowned in disgust. “His surname is Lin, and mine is also Lin. We’re one family. Madam She, perhaps it’s for the best if you stay away from him. Who knows where the paparazzi might be hiding? If they took pictures of you now in your current appearance, your reputation would be ruined.”

“Who are you trying to scare?” She Zhongyu was not cowed. “There’s nothing that money can’t buy. I’ll just buy out the person who took the video. What’s there to be afraid of?”

“What happens if you meet someone who doesn’t lack money?” Lin Gantang showed She Zhongyu the recording on her phone. “You threatened to expose his relationship with President Yin. What a coincidence! I happen to have this video of you blackmailing people, forcing them to sell their bodies for work. I’m so sorry, but it isn’t for sale.”

“You!”

“Xiao Fan, which movie are you acting in?” Lin Gantang looked at Lin Fan. “I’ll invest some money in it. I don’t have any other requests. Just let the director continue to use the actors he has chosen. There shouldn’t be any problems, right?”

“Aren’t you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? Delete that video at once!” She Zhongyu glared at the recording, playing on repeat.

Lin Gantang appeared much calmer than her exasperated expression. “Why? You were the one who had designs on my brother. Shouldn’t I have some insurance to protect myself?”

“What’s your name? Tell me your name if you dare! Let’s see how I’ll teach you a lesson!” She Zhongyu pointed at her threateningly.

Lin Gantang blocked She Zhongyu’s view of Lin Fan. He tried to pull her back, not wanting her to get into trouble because of him.

Lin Gantang ignored Lin Fan. She grabbed She Zhongyu by the finger and twisted.

“I hate it when people point at me like that,” Lin Gantang scoffed. “My name is Lin Jingjing. I await your so-called lesson.”

Lin Fan, who had wanted to pull her arm to stop her from saying anything, silently retracted his hand when he heard her name.

She Zhongyu’s face twisted in pain, and she quickly wrenched her finger free from Lin Gantang’s grasp.

“You have guts! I’ll remember you!” She Zhongyu growled.

Lin Gantang watched her leave with a shake of her head. “Lin Fan, who was that? I don’t think I’ve heard of any family worth noting with the surname ‘She.’”

“I don’t know,” Lin Fan replied, a note of uneasiness in his tone. “I don’t usually walk in those circles. All I know is that she’s a major stakeholder of Jiahuang Entertainment. She uses her clout to make things difficult for artists who go against her.”

Lin Gantang nodded thoughtfully.

“Miss Lin, thank you for standing up for me today,” Lin Fan said. “If it weren’t for you, she probably wouldn’t have left me alone.”

“Where’s your manager and assistant?” Lin Gantang asked.

Lin Fan lowered his head. “I don’t have an assistant yet. Brother Fan is busy. I had planned to have a day off… I didn’t expect to bump into She Zhongyu.”

“I see… She Zhongyu left in a huff, but it’s hard to say whether she’ll let you off. I’ll have someone settle the issue for you,” Lin Gantang said.

Lin Fan wanted to ask who would help him, but before he could say anything, he saw her take out her phone and call Yin Zhen. She said in a pitiful and weak voice, “Zhenzhen, someone is bullying Lin Fan and me. You have to stand up for us.”

Yin Zhen, who picked up the call, was speechless.

Zhen…. Zhenzhen?
