Does Chapter 201 mean that this isn't their first collaboration?

When and under what circumstances was White Wolf Peak mentioned?

The more Qin Xiaowan recalled, the more her head throbbed. That memory was like a lump of paste, but several images still flashed through her mind. Qin Xiaowan could only describe the images and roughly figure out what happened.

"Yesterday... after we parted on bad terms in the cafeteria, I went to visit Su Yao. We chatted and you came up in conversation, and then... somehow we started talking about White Wolf Peak... When I came back, I saw someone delivering a notice to you, so I stopped them, wanting to embarrass you a bit, which is why I told you I was going up White Wolf Peak at four in the morning..."

"But I really didn't know that fugitives had also come up the mountain. Although I'm not a good person, I wouldn't be that vicious. I still want to go far in this circle. If I get my hands dirty with someone's life, I'm definitely finished! I'm not crazy, and I don't have such a big grudge against you!"

After observing, Little B said, "Host, something's wrong with Qin Xiaowan. It seems like she's been hypnotized with a device and is missing a crucial memory."

Fang Ke had already discovered this, so he took advantage of the situation and asked her questions from different angles.

She smiled knowingly, "Yes, who has such a deep grudge against me?"

The two people hiding behind the wall, "..."

Fang Ke guessed that even if Su Yao wanted to hypnotize Qin Xiaowan, she would at most emphasize that she did it all by herself and that it had nothing to do with anyone else. That's why Qin Xiaowan kept kneeling down and admitting her mistake.

However, there are two key pieces of information regarding this accident: why "White Wolf Peak" and why "four o'clock in the morning"?

Such a clever scheme could not have been devised if someone hadn't known the whereabouts of the three fugitives beforehand.

Therefore, it is crucial to determine who proposed the name "White Wolf Peak".

The person who was brought up, Bai Langfeng, had a deep grudge against Fang Ke.

If any other interrogator were here, they would probably have detained Su Yao immediately.

"Alright, I understand. You can go back now."

"Miss Fang... are you willing to let me go?"

"It depends on your performance."

"I...I promise I won't get in your way anymore. I'll just focus on filming and do my job properly. Don't worry, Miss Fang, I'll remember your kindness in letting me off the hook!"

Qin Xiaowan bowed again, then wiped away her tears and ran away with a happy smile.

Only after she had walked away did he say to the person around the corner, "Come out."

"..."

Wu Cong and Fang Yefan obediently walked out.

"As you can see, that's how it went, but I can't say whether there are other forces behind it."

She smiled knowingly, but her gaze was fixed on Fang Yefan.

Fang Yefan frowned and said, "Fang Ke, I believe Yao Yao wouldn't do such a thing, please believe her too."

Fang Ke nodded and smiled casually, "Okay, let's leave it at that. Let's consider this the end of it."

Fang Yefan looked at Fang Ke's casual smile and suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart. He immediately asked himself a question.

What if Yao Yao really did it? Wouldn't that be unfair to Fang Ke?

But...but...

Wu Cong stepped forward before he could finish the sentence, "So, do you need me to kick her out of the crew?"

Fang Ke thought for a moment and said, "She even knelt down and begged me, so forget it. Besides, I'm fine, so let's just let this matter pass."

Wu Cong nodded. Changing the actress would naturally cause a lot of trouble, and all of Qin Xiaowan's scenes would have to be reshot.

He increasingly felt that Fang Ke was sensible, understood human relationships, and was flexible and adaptable, and that he would definitely become a top star in the future.

Wu Cong patted her on the shoulder and said, "I'll tell everyone to stop gossiping. But after this incident, I guess even without Qin Xiaowan and her group leading the way, no one will bother you anymore."

Preventing gossip is also a form of protection; once a woman is linked to three men, who knows what kind of rumors will spread about Huang Yao.

Moreover, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish.

Although Fang Ke suffered a loss, he did a good deed, and Qin Xiaowan might even become one of his supporters later.

This move was actually quite clever, but it was very frustrating to be tricked like that...

If Little B knew what Wu Cong was thinking, he would definitely think that this person was pretending to know what he didn't.

"What?! Host, she's just playing the long game! Kicking Qin Xiaowan out of the crew is exactly what Su Yao wanted! Everything will be settled, and there will be no way to prove it! Dream on! We need to put such a time bomb next to Su Yao so that she'll reveal more of her secrets!"

Fang Ke praised, "...You've become smarter, Little B."

Little B was flattered and said, "If I learned it from the host, then I'm definitely a bit smarter than these two idiots!"

Seeing that the matter had been resolved peacefully, Wu Cong coughed twice and said, "Then let's go back and rest for a bit. The announcement starts at 2 PM this afternoon, so don't go to the wrong place this time."

Fang Ke nodded, "Okay."

She brushed past Fang Yefan and walked away. Fang Yefan's fingers twitched slightly, wanting to stop her and say a few more words, but he didn't have the face to do so.

Back in the cabin, Fang Ke first wiped his whole body with a hot towel. Hot water is provided uniformly at night, so he could only take a shower at night.

Fang Ke changed her clothes. During this process, her mind kept racing. She now had the cell phone data of these three fugitives, but who should she ask to analyze and study it?

She herself is already filming from early morning to late at night, so she needs to find someone who is available, skilled, and reliable. The key is to find out who this "Brother Cao" mentioned by the pockmarked man really is.

"Host, what if they just randomly found a place like the Dark Web and posted the bounty? Wouldn't that be like looking for a needle in a haystack? Finding Brother Cao wouldn't make any difference?"

Fang Ke shook his head. "The timing is wrong. How long have I been here? Less than a day, and Qin Xiaowan came to visit in less than a few hours."

"It's almost impossible to find a reliable broker and three major fugitives to ambush me in such a short time by just offering a bounty online and waiting for them to gather."

Fang Ke put on a moisturizing face mask, then sat down at the dressing table, tapping the edge of the table with one hand while sorting out her thoughts.

“I bet this Brother Cao has a lot of experience as a ‘middleman’ and can mobilize all his resources in the shortest amount of time to achieve the employer’s goal.”

"These three fugitives had obviously cooperated with Brother Cao before. They just happened to be in this area, and because of the urgency, they became his first choice. After all, from what I heard from the three of them, it was actually very risky for them to come and arrest me. It was very likely that they were just passing by, so they were in a hurry to cross the border."

Little B seemed to realize what was going on, "Come to think of it, they already have a ton of gold, why would they care about your 1 million?"

Fang Ke sneered, "Even if they live to enjoy a ton of gold, it depends on whether they have the life to enjoy it. As for a million US dollars in cash, there are very few people who can come up with that much cash at once."

This is probably the commission after deducting kickbacks; the exact amount Cao Ge received is unknown.

Such a large-scale operation clearly indicates an intention to kill her.

In short, "I need to investigate this Brother Cao first, and if Su Yao can find him as soon as possible, it proves that she trusts his abilities."

She suddenly narrowed her fox-like eyes, a thought flashing through her mind, "...Does this also mean that this isn't their first collaboration?"

This stream of light is like a universal puzzle piece, connecting many things at once.

Right, since this isn't the first time they've collaborated, what kind of big project was Su Yao looking for to work with this "black glove"?

Given her status, could she possibly associate with these criminals without anyone noticing?

Is there someone else helping her behind the scenes?

Did she know this Brother Cao herself, or was he introduced to her by someone behind the scenes?

If so, why would this person go to such lengths to help Su Yao?

As the biggest female villain in the book, Su Yao probably only has her to deal with.

So, what incident did she and Brother Cao collaborate on before, in order to harm the original owner of this body?

Fang Ke always felt that some truth was about to be revealed, but he was still missing a clue.

She then turned her attention to the "Brother Cao" who had sent the message. These people were quite up-to-date, communicating through online forums.

Brother Cao's account is a private account, and the IP address is unknown.

The message sent to them was:

[4 o'clock, White Wolf Peak, ♀]

The boss doesn't like live sheep; they have to be dead.
