My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 381: If you’re busy, I’ll take my leftovers with me

Chapter 381: Chapter 381: If you’re busy, I’ll take my leftovers with me

"Am I supposed to just not come out and watch you go to jail with my eyes open?" The old man’s face was covered with tear streaks. He then turned to look at Yuran, "Miss, please, I beg of you..."

Yuran didn’t know how to start talking. She didn’t know how to handle the current situation, so for a while, she didn’t know what to say.

Qi Younian yanked the old man’s hand away, pulling Yuran behind him, while he supported the man’s grandmother.

The elderly grandma stammered, clutching Qi Younian’s hand, "On one hand, it’s out of gratitude, and on the other, it’s because she threatened us."

"Threatened you?" Yuran widened her eyes, "Threatened you with what? Fu Bairan’s life overlap has nothing to do with you; why would you be threatened by her?"

The man’s face bore a deep sense of embarrassment. He remained silent for a while, then went to the room to fetch a contract and handed it to Yuran.

He then spoke, "My name is Yun Cong, and I have a sister named Yun Man who is a trainee at Fu Bairan’s agency, Yinran Entertainment.

She said if I didn’t do as she told me, she couldn’t guarantee my sister’s safety, and we would lose track of her whereabouts as well.

My sister is still young, just sixteen this year, they..."

Qi Younian looked at this man, who was well-educated yet blackmailed in such a way, with the distaste one would reserve for a fool, furious, "You’re an educated person. When facing something like this, don’t you know to call the police?"

"Fu Bairan said we cannot call the police; she’s not alone..."

Qi Younian stopped talking instantly, and Yuran also stood stunned for a while before looking up at Qi Younian, "What does it mean she’s not alone?"

Qi Younian’s expression was grave, "If she’s not alone, doesn’t it mean she has accomplices? Have you gone silly too?"

Yuran: "...But that’s wrong; I haven’t offended anyone!"

Qi Younian, speechless, "You don’t even know Xia Ruyan, yet she still found ways to trouble you. Don’t underestimate human nature, okay?"

He rubbed his hair irritably and exasperatedly, "This is infuriating. That Miss of the Xia Family is going too far. Does she think bringing down all invited auditioners will get her the role? Is she looking down on Huanya or Gui Yu?"

Yuran: "..."

Qi Younian looked at Yun Cong, and Yun Cong, realizing he had not handled his affairs in a way that could convince others, simply voiced his concerns, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know how powerful the people behind Fu Bairan were.

I can’t risk everything about my sister; although what I did sits uneasy in my conscience, I do not regret my choice."

Human nature is both complicated and simple, foul as well as kind.

It all depends on where you stand. To say Yun Cong did wrong doesn’t seem quite fair, either.

Yuran couldn’t bring herself to blame him; even without Yun Cong, there would be a Li Cong, a Lin Cong, etc. With the person behind it all unchanged, their troubles would never go away.

This Xia Ruyan, Yuran hadn’t even had the chance to cross swords with her before she nearly buried her halfway into a trap.

Quite interesting.

"Yun Cong, I will help you find out about your sister’s situation, but I have a condition. Come with me to the press conference and testify against Fu Bairan. Do you have any evidence in hand?"

Yun Cong looked up, moved his grandmother aside, and nodded, "Yes, I have a recording."

"Fu Bairan allowed you to record?"

"Actually, it was me," Yun Cong shook his wrist where his cuff was, "You didn’t notice, did you?"

Outplayed, yet Yuran felt no displeasure. Observing his unremarkable cuff, Yuran smiled, "Not too foolish, then. Wait for my message."

"Thank you."

...

While going downstairs, Qi Younian didn’t quite grasp Yuran’s tactic, "The press conference is this afternoon, and it’s already past eleven. Do you think there’s enough time? Yun Man, a newcomer, definitely doesn’t know many people.

"Yinran Entertainment isn’t very large, but they have a fair number of young girls signed on. Do you have enough time?"

"Who said I was going to look for them myself?" Yuran looked at Qi Younian as if he were intellectually challenged. Qi Younian stopped in his tracks, looking down from his higher position at Yuran who continued downstairs, "What do you mean?"

Without responding, Yuran directly called Xie Cheng, "Brother Xie Cheng, I need your help with something."

"Tell me."

"There is a girl named Yun Man at Yinran Entertainment. I need to ensure her safety and take her out of Yinran within an hour. Can it be done?"

Xie Cheng raised an eyebrow, seeing the little girl who was becoming more and more like a certain someone as she gave him orders, and felt that she had been led astray.

"One hour, no problem. Wait for my message."

"Thanks, Brother Xie Cheng."

"No need, just blow some pillow talk to get Bo Yan to give me a raise, that would be acceptable."

Yuran smiled, "Alright, no problem."

Xie Cheng laughed, "Wait for my message."

"Mhm."

After watching Yuran’s series of actions, Qi Younian held his forehead, "I’m really worrying over nothing. With your background and mine, and I was actually concerned about your meddling."

Yuran chuckled, "Don’t feel hit, isn’t this to be expected?"

Qi Younian, "How can you have the nerve to say that? With Xie Cheng’s involvement, things are indeed much simpler.

By the way, since the great actor Bo Yan knows about the difficulties you’re encountering, why didn’t he just arrange everything for you?"

Yuran, "I still need to do some things by myself, don’t I? Otherwise, what’s the difference between me and a waste? Bo Yan is so busy, why should he run errands for something I can do myself?"

Qi Younian, "Bo Yan running errands? You wish. Xie Cheng alone could have countless people running errands for him."

As they spoke, the two of them had already reached the lobby. Yuran stood in front of her car, opened the door, and, with her elbow resting on the window, looked at Qi Younian, "The older you get, the more fanciful your thoughts."

Qi Younian: "No, I mean, is there some misunderstanding between us? You’re becoming less and less patient with me."

"Let’s go. We’ll head back to the office and talk in an hour."

"Ok, I’ll listen to you."

...

Xie Cheng was very efficient. In just over thirty minutes, he had already received a clear answer. The first thing he asked was, "Because of Yun Cong? So you sought out Yun Man?"

Yuran didn’t hide anything and hummed in affirmation. Xie Cheng said, "Lucky you contacted me quickly. Do you know where I found her?"

A bad feeling immediately struck Yuran, "Where?"

"Satan’s Night. And she was on her way to being sent to some executive’s room, but my people intercepted her."

Yuran clenched her phone, "Has Yinran Entertainment gone mad, even getting into pimping?"

Xie Cheng, "The person has been taken to a safe place, so don’t worry. As for your question, I can clear up some confusion;

That’s the way the circle works. To make a name for themselves, some are willing to pay a high price. There’s a market for the trade, it’s not strange;

In the future, if you encounter any problems, don’t just blindly rush in; let me know. If something happens to you, it’s a burden I can’t afford."

Yuran: "..."
