Chapter 712: Heartbroken Old Five

Yu Qingping couldn't quite place which film crew it was for a moment. After all, he only vaguely knew the location and was in a hurry to get there, so he didn't pay much attention.

Seeing Yu Qingping's troubled expression, before Ye Wanxi could say anything, Yao Jinwei became impatient and said, "Just say it!"

"I wanted to say that too, but I really didn't notice."

Yao Jinwei was speechless, but she also felt that Ye Wanxi wouldn't ask such a question for no reason: "Why is Sister Ye suddenly asking this? Could it be that something's wrong with Brother Yu's cousin's film crew?"

Yu Qingping was startled. Although he and his cousin usually liked to bicker and argue, they actually had a very good relationship. Otherwise, he wouldn't have personally driven her to and from get off work.

"Miss Ye, is it true? My cousin's film crew has problems? Is she in danger?"

Ye Wanxi didn't answer Yu Qingping's question immediately, but instead asked, "Is your cousin's film crew in the west?"

"Yes, it's in that district to the west, which is quite far from here. If I hadn't heard that things haven't been very peaceful in the area lately, I wouldn't have bothered to drive her all that way to and from get off work."

Ye Wanxi narrowed her eyes: "Has things been a bit unsettled around here lately?"

"It's not around here, but to the west. I heard there are often strange noises there in the middle of the night."

"What's that strange noise? Is someone injured?"

"I wasn't injured, but several neighboring film crews keep losing things. We checked the security footage but couldn't find anything. It's like they just vanished into thin air. Everyone's saying that a thief broke into that place. If it's just stealing things, that's one thing, but what if one day they become greedy or get caught and start harming people? That would be very dangerous."

"So you only recently started picking up and dropping off your cousin from get off work every day?"

"Um."

"I didn't realize you were such a good older brother, Brother Yu."

Yu Qingping was taken aback, then said angrily, "How dare you talk like that, you brat! I'm a good older brother."

Yao Jinwei smiled: "Yes, yes, you are the best brother in the world."

Yu Qingping rolled her eyes at Yao Jinwei, but didn't forget the important matter: "Miss Ye, is my cousin alright?"

"They should be fine." Judging from Yu Qingping's expression, there was no sign of any harm done to his family, except for that lingering eerie aura just now...

Ye Wanxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she already had some guesses in her mind.

Yu Qingping breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to ask something else, he saw Qi Yingxuan and Chen Bangde walking side by side from not far away.

Chen Bangde frowned slightly when he saw the group: "What are you all doing gathered here?"

"Director Chen, I'm here to ask for leave."

"A request for leave? What kind of leave?"

"I'm taking leave this morning."

"reason."

"Should I go visit the set?"

"Visiting the set?" Before Chen Bangde could say anything, Qi Yingxuan couldn't help but interrupt, "Visiting what set? Whose set are you visiting? Do you know anyone around here?"

"There aren't any nearby, but there are some in the West District. I'm going to visit one of my older brothers on set."

"Big brother?" Qi Yingxuan's face instantly fell. "When did you get a big brother? How come I didn't know?"

Qi Yingxuan's tone was so sarcastic that the expressions of the people around him became somewhat subtle.

Yao Jinwei held back for a moment, but couldn't help herself. She covered her mouth with her hand and said in a low voice, "Don't you guys think..."

"What?"

"The assistant director's tone when he spoke to Ms. Ye sounded just like a jealous father?"

Chen Debang's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly chimed in, "Right, right, I knew it, I'm definitely not the only one who thinks so."

Chen Debang was a little excited and didn't lower his voice.

Qi Yingxuan's death stare shot over them instantly, accompanied by a fake cough to indicate that he had heard them.

The two poor little ones trembled all over and instantly turned into quails, not daring to utter a word.

Chen Bangde, feeling guilty, looked up and whistled, pretending nothing had happened.

Ye Wanxi chuckled and explained in a voice only the two of them could hear, "He is Fourth Senior Brother's adopted brother in this life. There might be some problems with his film crew, so I'm planning to go and check on him under the guise of visiting the set."

Qi Yingxuan's expression softened slightly, and he snorted coldly, "I'll go with you."

"No need for that. You're the assistant director, you have work to do, you can't be as irresponsible as me. Besides, I've already found someone to keep me company."

"Who?" Qi Yingxuan's face darkened, and he said in an unfriendly tone, "That guy, the boss?"

"No." As soon as Ye Wanxi finished speaking, an incredibly cool supercar screeched to a halt in front of the film crew's door.

Several car enthusiasts' eyes lit up immediately, and they couldn't wait to go up and touch it.

As the driver's side window rolled down, a face that Ye Wanxi and the other woman were extremely familiar with appeared before them.

"Fourth brother?" Qi Yingxuan glanced at Jiang Lin in the driver's seat, then at the eye-catching dark blue sports car, and felt that his poor heart had been brutally tormented once again.

Jiang Lin nodded to him as a greeting, then turned his gaze to Ye Wanxi and said, "Get in the car."

"I'm coming. Director Chen, if nothing unexpected happens, I won't be coming to the set this morning."

Chen Debang's gaze lingered on the sports car. Thinking that Ye Wanxi would soon be sitting in this dream car that only existed in his imagination, he couldn't help but retort so sourly, "What if something unexpected happens?"

"Then I probably won't come today."

Chen Debang: "???"

"Fifth Brother, you work hard on set. Fourth Brother and I are going to visit the set. See you later." Ye Wanxi said as she quickly ran to the passenger side, opened the door, and got in.

As soon as the seatbelt was fastened, the sports car started up, sped forward, and disappeared from sight with a twist, leaving only billowing dust and faint exhaust fumes, leaving people to wonder.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Qingping finally shed tears of envy, choking back sobs, "The latest Smurf model from the top supercar brand Bug is a limited edition of only six worldwide. I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime. Is this the difference between me and Miss Ye? I'm crying, I'm crying."

Qi Yingxuan felt as if an arrow had pierced his chest. Damn! Wasn't the fourth brother an esports coach in this life? So rich?!

"Huh!" Yao Jinwei didn't know much about cars, so she naturally didn't know the value of which car, but the word "limited edition" itself represented luxury and high price!

She could roughly guess that this car was something special, but what concerned her more was...

"That guy is so handsome! Did Sister Ye just call him brother? Waaah, I'm so envious. I also want a handsome and rich brother like that. He's like a living, breathing character straight out of a comic book."

Qi Yingxuan was shot in the chest again. What does that mean? The fourth brother is handsome, but isn't he handsome too? Why do you only envy her for having a handsome and wealthy brother, but not him for having a handsome and talented brother?

Having been stabbed twice in the heart, Qi Yingxuan glared at the two men and sneered, "The sports car isn't yours, and the handsome guy isn't yours either. Stop dreaming and get to work. Now get inside!"

The two people who were caught in the crossfire were thinking: "???" Are poor people not even allowed to dream these days?
