My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 603: Late Retribution 11

The car accident on the overpass in the center of D City closely mirrored the one that Xi Nian had experienced. The methods were almost identical, even the process of the vehicle becoming a scrapped heap was strikingly similar.

The bodyguard had long since moved the computer over to Fu Bairan’s side, and it was broadcasting live. It was probably around one in the morning when the news from D City was live-streamed here. Fu Bairan hadn’t paid attention at first; in fact, she was somewhat puzzled why the bodyguards had moved the computer here, but now, she seemed to understand.

After seeing the news, her face turned deathly pale.

Sudden deaths are probably just like this, but if Yinchao truly died in this car accident, wasn’t it obvious who was behind this?

The mysterious person.

Fu Bairan looked at the bodyguard, "I want to see Yuran."

The bodyguard stared at her for a long while before slowly saying, "Let me make a call to our Young Master Seven first."

When the bodyguard called Bo Yan, Bo Yan had just lain down, ready to sleep with Yuran in his arms. Receiving the call from the bodyguard, he was not surprised at all. Seeing such news, Fu Bairan’s psychological defenses were crumbling bit by bit, but now was not the time.

Bo Yan told the bodyguard, "Don’t bother with her request because when it was time for her to speak, she remained silent. So why does she think that when she wants to talk, we will definitely want to listen?"

The bodyguard relayed Bo Yan’s words, and Fu Bairan’s complexion turned as pale as paper, the pain in her wrist sharper than before.

Had Yinchao died?

Of course not, Bo Yan was patient with his games, adept at controlling people without a stir, his strategies profound.

Without getting a clear answer, Fu Bairan became anxious and restless. She could not believe what she had heard and forced herself to calm down, slowly analyzing. She thought that if neither of them cared about her response, they wouldn’t have captured her in the first place.

Perhaps they were certain that she could not do anything, which is why they tried to deceive her?

But she couldn’t convince herself to believe this speculation. If Yuran truly was the friend Fu Yuran had made that year, then why had Fu Yuran not told her about it?

And Yuran looks so young, is it likely that the two knew each other?

She wasn’t very sure.

...

The rear-end collision in D City was severe, the man trapped in the middle died on the spot. The owner of the car was not the deceased man; as for the man’s identity, further investigation was underway;

The television repeated this news every day, over and over.

Fu Bairan was tormented mentally to the extreme; she even didn’t know if she could properly close her eyes anymore, with all she heard being about the news on the overpass in D City.

She was convinced of the news of Yinchao’s death.

The car had been wrecked so badly; if the person survived, they would have to be incredibly lucky.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Fu Bairan’s resolve was being eroded little by little. She communicated several times with the bodyguard, wanting to see Yuran, but the response she got was always that there was no visit, not in the mood to see her now.

And her disappearance was a situation she had brought on herself. When she and Yinchao escaped from Diyang to live in hiding in D City, nobody knew, and now that both of them had vanished like mist, it seemed that nobody was filing a missing persons report. With simple social ties, therefore, nobody cared.

...

"Miss Rose" progressed rapidly, with internal sources claiming that the post-production of "City of Temptation" at Diyang was nearing completion. If "Miss Rose" didn’t speed up, it might not be ready to compete with "City of Temptation".

Regardless of whether the internal sources were reliable or not, Xi Gu wasn’t willing to take the gamble. Pushing to finish "Miss Rose" became almost an obsession for him. To him, failing to beat Xi Nian even once meant he truly lacked achievement. With this thought, his resentment surged.

As for where the internal information leaked from, or how it reached Xi Gu’s ears, he wasn’t clear and he didn’t ask.

Xi Zhen was uneasy about the situation in London, frequently calling every few days. He regretted handing over Huanya to Zhao Shuqin. The two of them argued daily over the matter, living together but fighting incessantly.

Xi Zhen felt that, no matter what, he should hold fifty percent of the shares. Initially, because Huanya had been operating in an old-fashioned manner and, despite its dominance domestically, it wasn’t very appealing due to the management by Xi Gu, he had no faith in Huanya.

Each time he received Huanya’s financial report, he was not very inclined to look at it.

It wasn’t until Xi Nian showed his prowess and claimed half of the business territory that Huanya’s financial reports started to dazzle, even to the point of disbelief. This floundering Huanya’s transformation success was all thanks to Xi Nian’s efforts.

Now that Huanya was earning a lot of money, Xi Zhen naturally didn’t want to let go of it.

Zhao Shuqin, well aware of Qin Zhen’s greed, tightly grasped the share distribution and didn’t give Xi Zhen the slightest bit. She had no intention of making it easy for Xi Zhen, and now with the opportunity at hand, she would not miss her chance.

On Xi Gu’s end, they rushed the filming of "Miss Rose", which also aligned with his mother’s wishes. Therefore, the shooting schedule for "Miss Rose" was strictly two months. Although some parts were a bit rough, it didn’t affect the overall viewing experience. With careful post-production editing and skipping some shots, it would be perfect.

The situation escalated. People in the circle enjoyed watching "City of Temptation" and "Miss Rose" compete, eager to assess the strengths of both and see who would come out on top—and who would profit from the outcome.

Xi Nian, upon receiving this news, started to strategize using the familiar method of coded email communication with Xi Yan and Xi Yang.

After another plan was confirmed, Xi Yang asked Xi Nian, "Who should we approach for this job?"

Xi Nian sent Xi Yang a string of numbers. Xi Yang understood, assuring Xi Nian that he would handle the matter well. Furthermore, once Xi Nian could move freely in London again, the throne there would be transferred to him. Xi Nian, uninterested in this, just smiled and remained silent.

He replied, "We’ll talk about it later."

...

During this time, although things appeared calm on the surface, everyone was already secretly speculating about their rivals’ intentions. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"City of Temptation" and "Miss Rose" simultaneously announced their release dates, and this move completely set the media abuzz. When Yuran and Bo Yan saw this news at home, Yuran couldn’t help but laugh, "What exactly does my brother want to do?"

Bo Yan shook his head, "I don’t know, but he definitely has some tricks up his sleeve."

Yuran: "..."

"By the way, Seventh Brother, I heard that Fu Bairan’s arm hasn’t been properly reattached?"

Bo Yan paused, then said, "It’s not that it hasn’t been reattached; it’s just not very secure. We need to carefully consider how to fix it back into place. I’ve already instructed the bodyguards; they are fully aware and you don’t need to worry about the follow-up issues."

Yuran: "..."
