Chapter 6, the sexy goddess encounters a setback
Ye Xiao heard Hannah say that Su Yun could not withstand the frenzied pursuit of paparazzi and the immense pressure of public opinion, nor could she bear the heavy blow of the kidnapping scandal and the scandalous photos, leading to her mental breakdown and the family's immigration to the United States
Despite this, Su Yun's explicit photos have already spread widely on the internet
He shrugged and said, "It is my fault for ruining your dining mood; I shall punish myself with a drink."
She gazed at herself in the mirror, a faint, cold, and fearless smile playing at the corners of her lips
She can imagine her brother's reaction upon learning about this matter; Jason must have said quite a few good things, otherwise her brother would not easily let her off the hook. Never mind, Su Yun is not someone to be underestimated; if she has the audacity to kidnap her, she should also have the courage to bear the consequences
"Xiaoxiao, the kindness of a woman will only lead to her own peril," Hannah said earnestly, clearly siding with Jason
"I really don't want to look for you," she said with a smile after seeing him taken aback, "because I don't want to provoke the gang any further"
Jason's beard has turned gray, and he respectfully bows his head, "Miss, if you are not rescued within three hours, I fear Miss Su Yun will not be so fortunate"
I know that Bai Jinyang found you through the New York gang, wanting to show off, so I did not intervene. It turns out that his efficiency is only slightly inferior to mine, and he seems to care about you a lot. He can see that Bai Jinyang's treatment of her has exceeded the bounds of ordinary friendship
What? Were you scared by my words
Jason's gaze was aged and kind, "Yes, miss."
"Are you familiar with the Zhu Wan gang?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile in response
In all matters, leave some room for maneuver. How to deal with her, I will think it over. By the way, this matter must not be known to my brother, nor to Jason
Ravenous, she picked up the bowl of white porridge from the dressing table and devoured it for a while. Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, she said: "Dear, are you feeling guilty?"
I have my own measure. Such light words carry a definitive weight
Lin Meier and He Qize announced their comeback after living together for twelve years, joining QTV. The once pure and innocent actress, after a twelve-year hiatus from the entertainment industry, made a high-profile return, leading to a flurry of speculation in the media, with various versions circulating. However, the parties involved have remained tight-lipped, and the true reason remains unknown to this day
"Alright, you should listen to me, shouldn't you?" Ye Xiao smiled gently, "Book the flight tickets, you will accompany me back to Zhuwan. By the way, why did Bai Jinyang arrive before you? This is not your style."
I have no particular abilities; the only skill I possess is stepping on the corpses of others to walk the path of stardom. I cannot help it; after all, who wouldn't love me?
Bai Jinyang attended in formal attire, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, exuding confidence; it was evident that he placed great importance on this meeting
The kidnapping incident has triggered a frenzy in Su Yun, leading to a series of effects that are beyond estimation
The loud sound of high heels echoed, then suddenly stopped, and Li Siman's voice was heard, "Ye Xiao is by no means simple. If you want to defeat her, you must strike decisively. Engaging in foolish actions repeatedly will only lead to self-destruction"
At this moment, there is a profound silence outside
Bai Jinyang candidly stated that on the way back to the city, she fell into a high fever and lost consciousness. He could only take her back to the apartment and have Henry call a doctor for a home visit. At the same time, he informed Brian of her whereabouts, but Brian did not rush over immediately; instead, he asked him to take care of her, as he had more important matters to attend to
His brother sent him to Zhuhai to be responsible for her safety and to manage the villa in Mid-Levels. If anything were to happen to her, Jason would definitely blame himself to death. He is getting older, and in a few years, he will be able to retire and enjoy his later years. She cannot bear to let him spend the last years of his life in guilt.
"Prepare the car, we are going to Banshan." A sense of foreboding struck, and Ye Xiao hurriedly got up and left the apartment
You want to play the leading female role of Liu Ying, believing that Ye Xiao is your primary rival. You bribed reporters and the media to expose her scandals, but unexpectedly, Li Siman outsmarted you and reaped the benefits. What is this called again? Oh right, it's called making a wedding dress for someone else
Hannah reported to her about the entertainment news from Pearl Harbor over the past few days, and when it came to Su Yun, she was utterly astonished
After several encounters, Ye Xiao discovered that Bai Jinyang was a composed and reserved man, in stark contrast to Li Tianjie’s arrogance and self-importance. His words and actions unconsciously revealed the refinement that is highly valued in high society, with a hidden sharpness and a gentle demeanor that exuded an undeniable presence.
She innocently blinked and asked, "Do you think Su Yun's kidnapping has anything to do with me?"
This is likely not acceptable, your elder brother has stated that you must attend. Jason's demeanor remained consistently respectful and polite, subtly exerting invisible pressure on her.
I will make some arrangements she said helplessly as long as Jason moves out of his brother's place she has no other options
Ye Xiao looked at him with compassion and said, "Alright, I punish you to accompany me for a lifetime."
After waking up, Ye Xiao realized that she had been in a deep sleep for two hours
The earth trembled in Zhu Wan.
Ye Xiao naturally knew which gang Su Yun had hired to kidnap him, but in front of him, he could only feign a look of naive surprise, "Duan Yu Men? I have heard that Duan Yu Men is the second largest gang in Zhu Wan, and they are quite fierce"
Ye Xiao expressed gratitude once again, "God has been very kind to me, I am very fortunate"
"As long as you give the order, I will make her disappear from Zhuhai." Brian's tone was calm, but a bloody killing intent suddenly rose in his eyes
After New Year's Day in 2008, Ye Xiao continued filming the fashion drama, which is expected to wrap up before March. She celebrated the traditional Spring Festival in Zhuwan, where Jason invited a chef to prepare a large table of Chinese dishes for the reunion dinner at the hillside villa, attended by Dennis and Brian, in addition to Hannah
She gazed out the window at the bustling city, the colorful neon lights, where the nightlife of the sleepless city was just beginning, while her scandalous career had yet to find its conclusion. The waves had already risen; if she wished to continue acting, she could only ride the waves, immersing herself in the bizarre and treacherous world of the entertainment industry
Bai Jinyang scrutinized Ye Xiao, who appeared to be lost in thought, studying her as the once-vanished curiosity returned. Even though he could not find compelling evidence to prove her connection to these matters, his intuition told him that she must be involved.
In fact, Bai Jinyang could not come up with a better counterargument to refute this speculation, although he was reluctant to believe that these matters were related to Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao's unusual relationship with Dennis and Brian gave her a certain capability to accomplish these things; however, these matters were very extensive, and given Ye Xiao's identity, it seemed beyond her reach
To express gratitude to Bai Jinyang, Ye Xiao specially invited him to dinner at the "Lan" private restaurant
Although I am relatively obedient, well-behaved, and easily bullied on stage, I do not allow others to trample over me. Li Siman's voice carried a hint of a smile, yet it felt eerily chilling.
Brian was on the verge of tears, "I feel guilty and regretful... I have committed a grave sin, God will never forgive me... My father will never forgive me."
On that day, after finishing her last scene, the sky had completely darkened. While changing clothes in the dressing room, Ye Xiao suddenly heard two people talking outside. Listening intently, she realized it was the Lin sisters chatting.
If it were not for Bai Jinyang's timely arrival, Ye Xiao would not have escaped danger so quickly
"Poor Brian, I will not blame you," she said, caressing his cheek as a kind mother would treat her wayward son
She furrowed her brow and said, "Do you think the matters of these two gangs are related to me as well?"
Ye Xiao said irritably, "What you are doing is equivalent to ruining her"
In the entertainment industry, one is often not in control of their own fate; how could one possibly avoid offending others
Ye Xiao was taken aback, "Did he allow you to do this?"
After Li Siman left, the remaining four women no longer engaged in verbal sparring, and the Lin sisters huffed and departed as well
Miss Su Yun once also wanted to ruin the young lady
"Very well, you treat me like a guinea pig. I have decided not to see you for a year," she said, feigning a fierce tone
"Miss, please take a seat and have a cup of coffee first." Jason's mannerisms and speech were reminiscent of a royal servant from a film, exhibiting a level of refinement and etiquette that left no room for criticism.
It is well known within the industry that Xiao Yin is the younger sister of Li Tianjie, the president of the Li Group. Her original name was Li Tianyin. Out of spite towards her brother, she is determined to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry and has joined QTV to prove her worth to him.
Netizens have become fervent
Ye Xiao guessed his thoughts and also felt that her attire was too casual. She explained, "I was delayed by a scene after work, and I was worried about making you wait too long, so I didn't go back."
Not ... ...
Knowing a few people is essential for doing business; one needs to have friends from both the underworld and the legitimate world, otherwise, it becomes difficult to make any progress Under the warm light, his smile was very warm
She sighed and said with a sense of loss, "I have only just realized that the entertainment industry may not really be suitable for me"
Due to the excessive nature of the explicit photos and the negative impact they have caused, one week later, the municipal authorities issued a notice prohibiting the online dissemination of explicit photos related to Su Yun's "Kidnapping Gate." Violators will be subject to investigation by the relevant departments, and in severe cases, may even face detention
"Jason, you better give me a reason that can convince me," Ye Xiao said angrily as she sat down and took a big sip of coffee. "Hannah, sit down."
Su Yun's encounter with the kidnapping incident, the acquisition of several large Chinese-language websites, all accomplished in just two or three days, can only be attributed to Jason
After finishing the IV drip, the sky was dimly lit. She thanked him and asked how he found her there
"It is better than some people who go to great lengths for nothing, after all, it's better than nothing," Tong Yao said with a cold snort
After finishing his conversation with Brian, Bai Jinyang returned to the hall and found that Ye Xiao was nowhere to be seen. After searching in vain, the two did not want to disturb the bankers and the cocktail party, so they could only secretly split up to look for her.
"Jason, it turns out to be you," Hannah, who was standing nearby, said breathlessly, her face filled with astonishment
Jason looked at Ye Xiao gently and said, "Miss, your brother is already aware of this matter. He is extremely furious and has instructed that such incidents must never occur again"
What are you thinking? He wanted to find a flaw on her face.
But in fact, is there really none?
Ye Xiao shrugged helplessly and closed her eyes to sleep
Ye Xiao closed the script, "I had guessed it, but I didn't expect her to be quite capable; even more surprising is her ruthless methods"
Ye Xiao was taken aback. Listening to the voice, the person who came was Li Siman. Hadn't she left? Why was she still here? Could it be that she had gone and returned?
In fact, she is neither a saint nor a goody-goody, and she does not have the right to say or think this, as all these matters arise from her. However, she truly feels surprised
This period drama is a typical court play, featuring few male characters, while women abound, adorned in vibrant attire, their graceful figures dancing elegantly.
"That would be the best. If you fall into the abyss before I make my move, that would be truly disappointing." Li Siman laughed arrogantly, "Do you know why I will win?"
"Miss, you have lost weight. Let us dine here this evening," Jason said affectionately. "I have instructed the servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner, featuring your favorite foie gras and Milanese-style fried steak."
Ye Xiao was indeed very tired, waking up in the afternoon after a deep sleep
A calm tone, composed words, infuriating yet without consequence
He cleared his throat and said, "I happen to have an important meeting this afternoon, so I changed into a suit"
Since my name has been mentioned, I shall listen attentively
Those sharp words fell precisely into Ye Xiao's ears without missing a single syllable
The website is down
Three women make a play, but thirty women would be too terrifying. The entire cast consists of a group of classically dressed beauties, often embroiled in quarrels and constant conflicts, arguing from the stage to the outside world, transitioning from eloquent lines to real-life sarcasm and ridicule. Life is indeed like a play.
The internet is a terrifying web, broader than the blue sky and deeper than the ocean, once ensnared, there is no possibility of extrication, one can only sink deeper and deeper until reaching the ocean floor
On the surface, it has a great deal to do with you. Su Yun kidnapped you for revenge, and you hired someone to kidnap Su Yun, posting her scandalous photos online, and then enlisted a more powerful gang to suppress Duan Yumen and the New York gang
Ye Xiao felt that the man's gaze was terrifyingly sharp, "So it seems that he is paving the way for these photos."
He said casually: "Her actions are indeed excessive, however, she was kidnapped, and the explicit photos were widely disseminated online, with a short time interval from when you were kidnapped. Although these two kidnapping cases seem completely unrelated, they are worth pondering over."
"The Zhuwan gang has set their sights on you, so you must be very careful from now on." Bai Jinyang hesitated for a moment before asking, "Did you offend someone?"
Even so, he could conclude that she was definitely involved.
Hannah sat on the other side of the Italian leather sofa, "Jason, your actions are swift; Su Yun deserves to be taught a lesson"
As a popular leading actress cherished by many in the studio, some people are unwilling to accept this and resort to verbal and written attacks
Even if he cannot find strong evidence to prove her involvement in these matters, his intuition tells him that she must be related to it.
Moreover, Jason acts decisively and efficiently, leaving no traces behind
I also feel that you do not seem like someone from the entertainment industry, but since you have chosen this path, you should do your utmost to excel and not give yourself a chance to regret it. Bai Jinyang encouraged, smiling at her.
"As expected of the leader of the Bai family, the foremost among the four great families of Zhuwan, have you found out who the financier is?"
Bai Jinyang smiled knowingly and said, "You should rest well. Brian will come to pick you up. When he arrives, I will call you."
Ye Xiao let out a low gasp, deliberately putting on a shocked expression, "If it really is her, she must have kidnapped me for the movie 'Dragon and Phoenix'"
The entertainment industry is in an uproar
Ye Xiaofeng rushed into the spacious circular hall with great urgency, directly questioning an elderly European man who was standing with a bow, "Jason, why did you do this?"
Ye Xiao sat down and continued to "eavesdrop". Then, two more people joined, namely Tong Yao and Xiao Yin. When rivals meet on a narrow path, a war of words is inevitable
These Chinese-language websites have been acquired, with a controlling stake of 51 percent Hannah reminded at the appropriate time
In fact, it is indeed related to her, but what can she say
Ye Xiao gazed at Su Yun, who was posing seductively on the computer screen, her eyes enchanting and her complexion flushed, undoubtedly a result of excessive drug use. She was completely naked, in various states of undress, and striking all sorts of alluring poses, even executing high-difficulty body movements flawlessly. The filming locations ranged from a plush bed to the bathroom, from the table to the sofa, encompassing everything imaginable. Her breasts were prominent, her lips crimson, embodying a captivating and intoxicating beauty.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, the two engaged in a conversation about the recent hot topics in the city
For safety reasons, Brian did not book a plane ticket and instead utilized his private jet, which had been out of service for several months, to escort her back to Zhuhai
Li Siman and Ye Xiao are the biggest winners, capable of flaunting their prowess and showing off in front of us. No matter how much they boast, they are still merely supporting characters in the grand scheme of things said Lin Meier disdainfully
"Miss, you have three invitations next month, namely to Milan, Vienna, and Athens," Jason reported, his white beard quivering as his mouth opened and closed. "I will prepare a private jet for you"
Li Siman let out a cold snort through her nose, "Then let us see who is more charming, and whose methods are more sophisticated"
Ye Xiao savored his words, fully agreeing—this was undoubtedly Jason's handiwork. The most terrifying and mysterious gang force in the world, "Satan," was founded by Jason. This gang organization called "Satan" was established at the behest of her father over twenty years ago. Today, the leadership of Satan has been passed on to the younger generation, yet they remain loyal to Jason and Ye Xiao's elder brother. Although Satan's reputation cannot be compared to that of the Italian Mafia, the Mafia would still gasp in surprise upon seeing Satan's emblem, politely choosing to pass by. The reason for Satan's relatively low profile is that it has always been shrouded in mystery and has operated discreetly. However, whenever a case arises, it is never trivial, and its impact is significant and far-reaching.
Bai Jinyang wiped his lips and said with a serious expression: "That is not what I meant. What is even more interesting is that several major Chinese websites have been acquired by a mysterious large consortium in Europe. Within a few hours, Su Yun's photos were logged onto these websites with great fanfare. Do you think there is no connection in this?"
On the luxurious airplane, his kind gaze suddenly transformed into a chilling blade, "Xiaoxiao, the person who kidnapped you is the seductive goddess Su Yun"
On the lively, harmonious, and joyful New Year's Eve, they played and had a great time
Brian choked and earnestly prayed for her to revoke this decision. After a while of coaxing, Ye Xiao finally let him go
"No, no, no, please do not be so kind to me, I would be ashamed to death." His eyes became moist as he kissed the back of her hand, murmuring, "Brian is unforgivable and deserves punishment, please punish me."
Men will feel their blood surge with excitement. Women will feel embarrassed and lower their heads.
Brian felt both self-reproach and shame, "This is not a punishment, it is a tremendous honor for me"
Over the past three years, the series in which she has participated have all been major productions, and she has played significant roles. Last year, she even received the honor of "Best Actress." In the drama "Palace Intrigue," she was initially confident about securing an important role among the middle-aged characters, but the outcome turned out to be unexpectedly bleak
On March 1, the filming of "Palace Intrigue" officially commenced
While she was sleeping on the plane, Su Yun was kidnapped for a full twenty-four hours
Lin Jia'er scoffed, "Rest assured, I will not let you down"
"How could Jason possibly not know?" he replied with a smile
The bench is still cold, yet you have already stuck your warm bottom onto it. You wish to submit, but you don't even know if the other party is willing to accept you
"Jason, any decisions in the future must be communicated to me first." What else can Ye Xiao say besides the default?
Returning to Zhuhai, she took a sick leave for one day to rest, in order to start filming in the best possible condition
That is because you have the protection of your ancestors
The two exchanged a smile, calling the waiter over to order, thus masking the awkwardness
"How did such a wonderful performance fall flat?" Li Siman smiled gently
The Lin sisters are currently filming "Blossoms and Full Moon". Months have passed, yet they still harbor lingering feelings about their missed opportunity with "Palace Schemes".
"Reject whatever can be rejected," Ye Xiao said impatiently
Insufficient reasons
She shook her head with a smile, pretending not to know
He skillfully sliced the medium-rare sirloin steak, "I asked a friend to check, it is Duanyumen."
Jason stood still and said meticulously: "I will help Su Yun complete the tasks she has not finished, Miss. If you have any objections, you may punish me"
Brian sat in front of the bed, his gaze filled with pain and melancholy, his pale face cold as ice
I am someone who prefers quality over quantity; I am not accustomed to demeaning myself for trivial matters said Lin Jia'er with a sense of pride
Xiao Yin and Tong Yao are both second-tier artists, akin to sisters, well-known at QTV. Last year, Tong Yao played the leading female role, and her prospects looked promising, making it very likely that she would receive strong support from QTV, while Xiao Yin still had not found her breakthrough. In the casting for "Palace Intrigue" last year, the two successfully secured a place.
"The rules on the road are certainly not stated outright, but while they cannot be explicitly mentioned, they can be implied." Bai Jinyang raised his thick eyebrows slightly, tantalizing her before mysteriously saying, "The sexy goddess."
The smile on his face gradually deepened, "I have investigated the major financial groups in Europe, but I do not understand why I cannot find any clues. There are also two very strange matters: the Duanyu Gate was disbanded overnight, and the three individuals who kidnapped you outside the villa in New York were secretly executed"
Tonight, Bai Jinyang, dressed in a crisp Armani suit and shining Kenyan leather shoes, wore a golden-striped tie that matched his piercing gaze, both compelling and intense. His words carried a deeper meaning, each sentence striking at her sore spots.
Fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps, some people are using the older brother, thinking that exposing the rumors of Ye Xiao and President Li meeting privately would lead to Ye Xiao's downfall, but what happened? Aren't they just supporting characters? What is there to be proud of
If you have not offended the people of Duanyu Gate, then someone has paid them to kidnap you
In the future, if you need me, be sure to reach out to me
A flock of crows flew past Ye Xiao's forehead, and it was obvious from their claws that this was Jason's doing. Is Jason really so pedantic, insisting on creating so many troubles before he is satisfied? In the future, she must find a way to rein in this overly caring and lovable old man
Bai Jinyang has a friend who is a member of the New York mafia, holding a significant position. He called to inquire whether there was a case tonight, and his friend confirmed that there was. After gathering more details, his friend mentioned that this case was commissioned by a certain gang from Zhu Wan. After much persuasion, his friend finally revealed the approximate location where Ye Xiao was being held two hours later
Upon entering the private room, he noticed that Ye Xiao had not made any special efforts to adorn herself, which made him feel somewhat awkward
Having finished speaking, he poured himself a glass of red wine and drank it in one gulp
From their conversation, it was learned that they were still unaware that the article in "The Gossip King" that defamed them was authored by Ye Xiaozhi
In contemplation... the affairs of the world are unpredictable. Ye Xiao said with a bitter smile, "I was just inexplicably kidnapped once, and then so many things happened in quick succession; I truly find it very surprising"
However, the internet also has its own industry rules. Should the relevant authorities turn a blind eye and allow these distasteful photos to spread more widely?
The headlines of the 818 gossip websites and major Chinese-language websites are all about the "Su Yun 'Kidnapping Gate'" incident, with only a brief text description, yet there are more than thirty authentic and alluring photos.
The most affluent villa area in Zhu Wan is Banshan. In the Banshan area, there is a villa that appears quite unremarkable, yet its scale is four times that of an ordinary luxury residence, featuring the most advanced and comprehensive home facilities and entertainment amenities
Quickly, Li Siman smiled, "Because my wisdom will not be wasted on insignificant people, nor will it be wasted on trivial gossip"
Before long, the dishes were served, and Bai Jinyang asked a question that had been rolling in his heart for a long time, "Have you found out who kidnapped you?"
Li Siman is not an easy master, and now it has become even more lively
Kidnap her, take provocative photos, and publish them in tabloids and Chinese-language websites, thereby achieving the goal of destroying her image. Once the kidnapping incident occurs, the scandalous photos will spread across the internet, causing a significant social impact, and her image will be irreparably damaged, effectively losing her opportunity to star in "Dragon and Phoenix." Even if Li Tianjie is very eager to use her, he must weigh the consequences.
