Chapter 109: Chapter 109 : Yan Renzhong’s Secret

Lang Yuxuan had wanted to confess to Yan Renzhong as soon as possible.

Feng Jietang waited patiently for an update.

One day, two days, three days...

And yet, not a single message came over.

Exactly what did Lang Yuxuan mean when he said "as soon as possible"? Because "as soon as possible" in Feng Jietang’s dictionary meant something like "in a second" to "in an hour". The latest should be "in a day".

So what the hell happened to Lang Yuxuan?

Feng Jietang even called him, but the cheeky little bastard did not bother to answer his call!

Feng Jietang’s curiosity went through the roof.

Sure, maybe Yan Renzhong rejected Lang Yuxuan, but was that a reason to go MIA? They still had one shooting period to go through!

Thankfully, they had a vocal recording session together the next day.

This time, even if Lang Yuxuan wanted to run away, he could not.

"Hey, Lang Yuxuan!"

Lang Yuxuan raised his head when his name was called. Upon spotting Feng Jietang, he quickly turned around and marched into an empty vocal booth.

"Halt! No, come back here."

Feng Jietang closed the distance between them in a flash and stopped Lang Yuxuan in time.

"What happened?" He demanded to know. "Why did you disappear all of a sudden?"

Lang Yuxuan shot him a venomous look.

"None of your business."

Feng Jietang glared at this impudent junior.

"Are you for real here? You were the one who wanted to cooperate to keep them separate. I told you every update from my side. Why are you keeping things from me now?"

"You don’t understand," Lang Yuxuan lowered his voice into a whisper, all the while looking around to make sure that no one was listening to their conversation.

"The situation is complicated. I have nothing to tell you, that’s all."

Feng Jietang rolled with his eyes impatiently.

"Lang Yuxuan, I am not asking about the number of dead bodies you hide in your apartment. Did you or did you not confess to you-know-who?"

A grimace contorted Lang Yuxuan’s face as he swallowed, as if a jagged object were lodged in his throat.

"... No," he finally deigned to answer.

Feng Jietang scoffed.

"And why not? Did you chicken out? Are you or are you not a man?"

"It’s not as easy as you think!" Lang Yuxuan spat at him. "The situation is complicated!"

Feng Jietang put both hands against his waist and glared at the younger man again.

"Complicated? Hey, I confessed! What is so difficult about that? Just say the words!"

"Ssssshhh! You are being too loud!"

Lang Yuxuan almost threw the script in his hands at Feng Jietang’s head impulsively.

"Anyway, it’s over. I am not going to meddle in their business anymore!"

Coming from Lang Yuxuan, this was utterly unexpected. This naturally gave rise to suspicion in Feng Jietang’s mind.

"... What exactly did you find out when you planned to confess to him that night? Or the day after?"

"Nothing," Lang Yuxuan insisted.

"You are lying," Feng Jietang pointed out.

Lang Yuxuan folded his arms and glared at Feng Jietang obstinately.

"Even if I am, so what? I don’t want to say anything and there is nothing you can do to make me talk!"

Feng Jietang snickered.

"Do you think that you are my only source of information?"

After saying that, Feng Jietang went inside his own vocal booth to commence the recording session.

"..."

That Feng Jietang was too hateful!

Huffing and puffing in resentment, Lang Yuxuan too went inside his vocal booth.

Feng Jietang was not lying when he hinted that he had many ways of scooping out any information he wanted.

As soon as he reached Yunhuan Entertainment’s headquarters, he dialed a number on his phone and gave his order to the person on the other side, "I need you to be here in an hour."

"Yes, Mr. Feng Jr.," came the reply on the other side.

When the private investigator arrived at Feng Jietang’s office, a picture of Yan Renzhong had already been waiting for him.

Feng Jietang sat behind the desk, his legs crossed and his hands clasped in front of him.

"I want all important information you can gather about this person, starting from the day he returns to his residence until now. I want to know whom he met, when, and where."

The private investigator took the picture into his hand and observed it for a while.

"Yan Renzhong from CNC Studio," he slowly muttered.

"Exactly. And I want the report as soon as possible."

"Yes, Mr. Feng Jr.," the private investigator answered.

"Wait," Feng Jietang called out to him again. Following his recent experience with Lang Yuxuan, he had learned the value of clarifying what he meant by "as soon as possible" when communicating with others.

"To be clear, I want the investigation to be concluded within three days."

"Yes, Sir."

Satisfied, Feng Jietang dismissed the private investigator and smiled to himself.

Now, all he had to do was wait.

The information Feng Jietang wanted arrived after only two days, right before the fifth shooting period of "Dance Of The Dragons" began.

It came in form of a report, several images, and several footages in a flash drive.

When he read the report and reviewed the pieces of evidence that the private investigator gathered, Feng Jietang could hardly believe it.

"No way," he whispered to himself. "Yan Renzhong has a hidden, secret child."

A picture of said child was included in the report. It was an adorable five-year-old girl with her long hair styled in updo braids.

Despite the vast age difference, her resemblance to Yan Renzhong was uncanny.

Even the way they smiled was the same.

In the picture, the little girl was walking hand-in-hand with a tall man in full disguise. The long coat, the wig, the hat, and the tinted sunglasses hid the person’s identity perfectly.

But judging from his posture and built, it could only be Yan Renzhong.
