Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Problematic Black Hole, Yuran

"Baby, are you being shy?" Bo Yan never knew when to stop when it came to teasing Yuran.

Although Yuran was annoyed to the point of gritting her teeth, she took it as flirtation between them and quickly laughed, "Am I someone who gets shy easily?"

"Hmm, my baby is naturally a generous and enthusiastic person."

Generous and enthusiastic had a flirtatiously ambiguous ring to it when he said it.

Yuran chuckled, "You just wait until I get back; I’ll deal with you, Seventh Brother. I’m going to sleep."

"Hmm, goodnight baby."

"Seventh Brother, goodnight."

...

Bo Yan did not go straight back to the old mansion but made a trip to the police station instead. Although Yuran hadn’t said anything, he was aware of quite a few things.

He had been with Zhizhi before and didn’t have the chance to come over to confirm some matters. Now that Zhizhi was at the old mansion, it was a good opportunity for him to take care of his own business.

Seeing Bo Yan, Ji Zexiu was not the least bit scared, still as nonchalant as ever, like a pig not fearing boiling water, with his hands cuffed and unable to move as Bo Yan sat across from him.

"Yo, Bo the great film emperor, you also want to join me to enjoy life in here?"

Bo Yan smiled, his smile carrying a sinister edge, both hands on the table as he scrutinized Ji Zexiu with a gaze that made Ji Zexiu feel disdain in his blood. People like Ji Zexiu probably hated nothing more than being looked down upon by others.

That made him angry, "Bo Yan, what’s with that look? What makes you think you’re so high and mighty?"

Bo Yan replied with a light and breezy tone, "Am I not high and mighty enough when compared to you? Then what would be high and mighty?"

Ji Zexiu was at a loss for words, as Bo Yan was more than just high and mighty in front of him.

In front of all the offspring of the great courtyards, Bo Yan was always above the rest. There were hardly any who could make him not stand high above.

He hated the injustice of power and privilege in the world, yet he couldn’t muster the strength to counter it and thus spiraled into degradation.

Back to the matter at hand, Bo Yan wasn’t there to see how pitiful he was either. He leaned forward slightly, sneering, "I heard you called Yuran and even threatened her arrogantly, is that right?"

"Feeling sorry for her?"

Ji Zexiu seemed to gain a sense of superiority, snickering with mockery for Bo Yan in his eyes.

Bo Yan raised an eyebrow, "I do indeed feel sorry for her, but what I don’t understand is the look of superiority on your face. Do you know what you’re thinking? Thinking that a dog on a leash could look down on me because I didn’t keep it tied up like a beast, isn’t that laughable?"

The smile on Ji Zexiu’s face stiffened, no longer able to break into laughter, and it twisted into something colder.

Bo Yan’s name almost squeezed through his clenched teeth with hatred.

"Bo Yan..."

"Bo Yan is also for you to call? Do you have the right to say my name? Outside, who doesn’t respectfully address me as Seventh Young Master? What are you to dare to call out my name directly?"

"You’re just leaning on the fact that you were born into a privileged family," Ji Zexiu mocked.

Bo Yan was dismissive, "You can envy my ability to be born into the right family, of course, but you’ll never catch up to that reality, understand?"

Bo Yan was rarely severe with people, but when he was, he could be downright inhuman.

Ji Zexiu lost control of his facial expressions after being rebuked by Bo Yan in just a few words and almost lunged forward the next moment to clasp Bo Yan’s throat. The irrational Ji Zexiu blurted out words without filtering, "Do you think you can protect Yuran? Bo Yan, don’t think you can cover the sky with one hand in the capital, and don’t think you can do it anywhere else. There are plenty of people who want to see Yuran’s downfall; do you think you’re the only small fry? I look up to you too much. I can’t wait to see the look on your face as you watch her die right in front of you, hahahaha..."

Bo Yan’s face instantly turned ice-cold, and with a raise of his arm, he easily grabbed Ji Zexiu by the collar and lifted him, the neckline choking Ji Zexiu’s throat, making his breathing difficult and almost asphyxiating him to death.

The officers outside noticed something was wrong and rushed in to stop Bo Yan’s actions, but they couldn’t move Bo Yan in the slightest, no matter how hard they tried.

Bo Yan’s face grew even more sinister, like the wild raving before a storm, which had even the fearless Ji Zexiu shivering in fear.

Ji Zexiu spoke intermittently, "You, you, you, what do you, what do you want to do?"

Bo Yan discarded Ji Zexiu back in place as if he were trash, stood up, and looked down at him, "It seems that coming to see you was indeed a wrong decision. Good luck to you."

...

Bo Yan’s mood had been bad since he left the station because he was panicking about the unknown dangers lurking around Yuran.

Ji Zexiu probably knew some inside information, but he was unwilling to share. Bo Yan didn’t care about the little bits of news that kind of person knew; what he urgently wanted to know was everything.

He phoned Xi Nian, "The data you mentioned, have you sent it to me?"

Xi Nian, "Yes, I’ve already sent it. It’s in your email; you can take a look first."

Bo Yan, "I don’t want Yuran to be put in danger because of anything related to the Xi Family. If there are any uncertainties before you take action, you must communicate with me in advance. I don’t want any mishaps. If Yuran gets even a scratch, I won’t let the Xi Family off the hook, and neither will I let you off."

Xi Nian, "Don’t worry, any accidents will be nipped in the bud by me, and if I can’t do it, you can deal with me as you please."

"Fine."

...

"City of Temptation" filming was more than halfway done when the controversy from the "Miss Rose" crew made waves throughout the industry. Both insiders and the public, along with the media, knew about the internal disputes of the "Miss Rose" team, but each told a different story, and no one exposed the truth.

On Yuran’s day off, she was blocked by reporters who asked her about the "Miss Rose" crew’s issues. Logically, since "Miss Rose" was the rival of "City of Temptation," Yuran would not miss an opportunity to discredit "Miss Egui," but unexpectedly, those who approached Yuran with gossip in their hearts received an official industry response instead.

Yuran said, "I don’t know anyone from ’Miss Rose,’ and regarding what you’re talking about, I’ve been inside the ’City of Temptation’ crew for a long time without going out; I’m also not one to watch the news or anything;

After all, you know, I’ve been scared off by all the criticisms, daring not to log in to any social media accounts and such; it’s too unpleasant;

If you ask about such a serious topic, and I say the wrong thing, won’t I get chased and scolded again?

It’s not like you are chasing and yelling at me; you don’t feel the pressure, but I surely do. Please, give me a break, thank you."

Reporters: "..."

Audience: "..."

Yuran’s super official answer brought laughter among the onlookers, and people were flooding the entertainment news broadcast’s live chat with comments;

"Instantly became a fan of Yuran. I bow to no one else but her. She’s hilarious."

"But she’s absolutely right, the people chasing and scolding Yuran are not few. If I were Yuran, I wouldn’t talk much either. Who would smile and thank others for scolding them?"

"Does this reporter have a sick brain? Instead of interviewing the ’Rose’ crew, they go question the main actor of ’City of Temptation’? She’s like a black hole of issues!"
