I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 611 - 609: You Might as Well Change Your Name to Hu Qian
After crossing several streets, Zhang Menglong saw the imposing office building appear before his eyes, complete with a conspicuous sign on the 16th floor: "Hu Bufen Studio".
This office building was rented by many freelance stars as their studio, and only those with a broad and significant fan base could afford such a setup, which is why the building's security was exceptionally strict. It was all to prevent obsessed fans from slipping in and causing troubles for the artists inside.
As soon as they got out of the car, they found Sun Ruowen pacing back and forth in front of the building, her face visibly agitated, her eyes repeatedly scanning the upper floors.
The moment she saw Zhang Menglong and the others appear, she suddenly seemed to find her backbone.
"You've finally come!" Sun Ruowen's tone was tinged with a sob.
"What's the situation? Still no contact?" asked Zhang Menglong.
"Yes, she went in at three o'clock, and the other actors auditioning have already left, but there's still no word from Bingbing. I've called several times, and no one answered; I just called again, and now it's even saying the phone is switched off."
"This doesn't seem right," Zhang Menglong frowned. If Chen Bingning had just been busy, she wouldn't have turned off her phone, as she surely knew her friends would worry if they couldn't get in touch with her.
Moreover, she wasn't someone without a sense of time. Now, they were already over forty minutes past the time they'd agreed to meet for a meal. No matter how busy she was, surely she could find the time to send a message?
"Something must have happened," although Zhang Menglong didn't usually pay much attention to entertainment industry gossip, he occasionally chatted with Wang Ling, picking up various tidbits.

Many singers and stars seemed to have upstanding public personas, but behind the scenes, all sorts of things went unenumerated, including affairs, and group activities; just recently that time management guru Mr. Luo got ousted, hadn't he?
But who would have known he was such a scandalous figure before that? In these matters, public relations often became the perfect cradle to nurture misconduct.
As for Hu Bufen, Zhang Menglong had heard about him; he was not a Huaxia national, but from California, only here because his popularity in Huaxia made it a good place to make money. He remembered Wang Ling once mentioning Hu Bufen was nicknamed the "California Cannon King".
Of course, the truth of that was unclear, after all, the man was quite handsome and had many fans. As long as he was single, consensual relationships were no one's business, and Zhang Menglong couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters, taking them just as gossip without probing whether they were true or false.
But now, this situation forced Zhang Menglong to doubt Wang Ling's words.
"Let's go up and take a look!" Zhang Menglong immediately led the way inside.
"Excuse me, sir, do you have a visiting appointment?" a security guard immediately stopped them.
"No."
"Then I'm sorry, you cannot go inside."
"Do you know who I am?" Zhang Menglong glared at the security guard.
The guard scanned him from head to toe, "I don't care who you are, you can't go in without an appointment!"
"Damn it!" Zhang Menglong was amused by the anger, what era was it that people still didn't recognize him?
"I'm going up first!" Not knowing what the situation was, and having no time to waste with the guard, he vaulted over the iron gate and disappeared into the stairwell in just a few moments!
"Hey! You can't go in!" The guard panicked, having never encountered such a nimble young man before.
"We have an unauthorized entry into the building, unauthorized entry into the building!" The guard immediately relayed the message to the people inside the building.
Then he looked at Lu Yiyao and the others with a hostile face. If he couldn't stop Zhang Menglong, could he not stop these three women?
"Hong Yi, sister? Menglong and I are now at the Jincheng Building... Yes, my friend might have an issue, and this security guard won't let us in!" Chen Bingning was missing, and Lu Yiyao was also a bit nervous, but she didn't want to just wait for news from Zhang Menglong, so she immediately called Hong Yi.
"What? Mr. Zhang is here?" The person in charge of the Jincheng Building suddenly couldn't stay calm when he heard the news. The Jincheng Building belonged to Tenghui Group, which was owned by Hong Yi's father. In other words, the Jincheng Building was Zhang Menglong's!
"Did he storm in angrily?" The person in charge of the Jincheng Building immediately felt something was wrong. What could possibly make Zhang Menglong so impulsive?
"Quick, notify everyone, all the security in the Jinchen Building must not act rashly. Mr. Zhang's safety is the top priority. If Mr. Zhang needs help, meet all his needs under legal circumstances!"
...
Zhang Menglong moved through the stairs like a fierce tiger, even faster than the elevator. The people walking on the stairs only felt a strong breeze brush past them. It seemed like something whisked by, but they couldn't see anything with the naked eye.
He maximized his perception because he had only seen Chen Bingning once and couldn't remember her scent. He could only rely on sounds to locate her.
The entire building appeared in his mind like a complete map.
"Mr. Zhang, there's activity in rooms 1608 and 1632 on the 16th floor!" Ye Yin was also helping Zhang Menglong find her, and quickly targeted two locations.
"I got it!" By then, Zhang Menglong had reached the 16th floor and immediately charged into room 1608.
Inside, a man and a woman were kissing, but this woman was clearly not Chen Bingning. It seemed like two regular employees from the Hu Bufan studio were romantically involved there. Their panic-stricken faces said it all.
"Sorry, sorry! Continue!" Zhang Menglong quickly withdrew, feeling a bit guilty for disturbing the young couple.
He immediately went to the door of room 1632. This time, to be cautious, he focused all his hearing on this room.
"Baby, mine is very big, you'll have to endure a bit!"
A voice with an electronic tone echoed in Zhang Menglong's mind, almost recharging his phone battery. This unmistakable voice was undoubtedly that of the Californian electric eel, Hu Bufan!
Zhang Menglong also noticed another woman in the room, but for some reason, she was collapsed on the sofa. Zhang Menglong sensed through energy that her bioelectric current was very weak, as if her body functions were being restricted by something.
Combining this with Hu Bufan's words, two letters immediately popped into his mind.
"MJ?"
A surge of anger instantly ignited in Zhang Menglong's heart. The girl inside was most likely Chen Bingning. How could such a thing exist in this studio? Was this even a studio anymore?
Zhang Menglong kicked open the door of the room. A girl, scarcely dressed, lay disheveled on the sofa, almost fully exposed.
Zhang Menglong took off his jacket and threw it over the girl, while Hu Bufan watched him with a panicked face.
"You... You're Zhang Menglong?" Hu Bufan never thought Zhang Menglong would appear here. Was he omnipresent? He had just succeeded, and now it was ruined.
"You call that big?" Zhang Menglong disdainfully looked down and commented, "That's like a cotton swab. It's really embarrassing for me to watch."
"Brother, I think you should change your name, don't call yourself Hu Bufan anymore, call yourself Hu Qian!"
