"My lord, Brother Chen, thank you for your help today."

She was quite surprised when the man in the red hat said the name Wang Lun.

Although Wang Lun had a lot of opinions about her, he wouldn't be so stupid as to do something illegal to retaliate against her.

Soon, Bai Qianmo focused her suspicions on Song Wanwan.

The only possibility is that there might be some kind of relationship between Wang Lun and Song Wanwan, and Wang Lun did this to help Song Wanwan get revenge.

One is a young and beautiful actress, and the other is a talented and refined screenwriter approaching forty. When these two are involved, their relationship becomes complicated.

Bai Qianmo immediately contacted someone to retrieve nearby surveillance footage.

The power was cut off during construction at Studio 3, but there is a water tower about 100 meters away. A surveillance camera on top of the water tower is pointing directly at Studio 3.

If it weren't for this surveillance video revealing the truth, it wouldn't have been easy to identify Wang Lun at the time.

Although she found a video of Wang Lun locking the door, she didn't have any evidence that Song Wanwan had instigated Wang Lun. She originally planned to investigate the relationship between Wang Lun and Song Wanwan later.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jueye and Du Muchen brought such a wonderful gift.

"We're like family, don't be so polite with Brother Chen." Du Muchen smiled with narrowed eyes, not forgetting to glance at Gu Jueye beside him.

"Thank you anyway. I'll treat you to a meal when I have time."

Du Muchen put his hands in his pockets, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, I'll be waiting. We're on set, we'll have plenty of time to meet."

"I'll take you home," the man who had been silent until now said coldly.

He then opened the passenger door and stared at her indifferently.

Bai Qianmo then turned her gaze to Gu Jueye, who seemed to be angry.

Did someone offend him?

"Brother Chen, I'm leaving now." Bai Qianmo waved goodbye to Du Muchen before getting into the car.

Du Muchen waved enthusiastically, and before Gu Jueye got into the car, he didn't forget to loudly remind him.

"Please make sure to get my little Momo home safely!"

Bai Qianmo trembled. Little Momo?

I feel like I've got goosebumps all over.

Gu Jueye tightened his grip on the car door handle, didn't even glance at Du Muchen, opened the car door and got in.

His response was the sound of the car door slamming shut.

Watching the car leave, Du Muchen raised his head in high spirits, lazily basking in the sunlight.

Chen Ming walked over speechlessly: "You're not just pulling hairs off a tiger's whiskers, you're clearly pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth. I'm afraid the Duke will remember this."

Du Muchen turned his head to look at Chen Ming, a casual smile playing on his lips.

"I'm afraid of him?"

"Didn't you learn your lesson from the other day, sir?"

Who was it that was chased by hundreds of fans for several blocks and ended up looking disheveled?

The wound had barely healed when they went back down the path of self-destruction and never looked back.

Du Muchen chuckled: "Seventh Brother used to be so boring. Now that he has someone as interesting as Xiao Momo by his side, and you see him getting jealous every day but having to suppress it, don't you find it amusing?"

Chen Ming's lips twitched violently; he'd never seen anyone so eager to be tormented: "Whatever makes you happy!"

Chen Ming wondered to himself what method the Duke would come up with to deal with this reckless man.

On the way back to the city

Bai Qianmo could clearly feel the low pressure lingering inside the car.

Hesitating whether to speak, she had a vague feeling that Gu Jueye was angry about something related to her.

Did you only thank Du Muchen and not him?

Hmm, he shouldn't be that stingy, right?

She had originally planned to thank him separately when she returned to the city.

"Does anyone in your film crew often bully you?"

After a long silence, the man finally spoke.

Bai Qianmo's eyelids twitched, and she sighed inwardly. Finally, she spoke.

"No, it's just that a very small number of people have incompatible personalities, so some minor frictions are inevitable."

"Can such a vicious tactic as ruining someone's reputation be considered a minor conflict?" Gu Jueye turned his head and glanced at her indifferently.

If he weren't driving, he would definitely have given that little girl a good flick on the forehead.

What angered him was that this girl never told him anything and always tried to find solutions to problems on her own.

If he hadn't changed his mind at the last minute and gone to pick her up, he wouldn't have known she was being bullied like this.

If the three kidnappers are all ruthless, if they really are...

The thought of this made his anger surge uncontrollably.

His usually proud composure and calmness are always touched when it comes to her.

But she always acts like she doesn't care.

Bai Qianmo's heart clenched when she met Gu Jueye's cold glare.

In all the time she'd known him, this seemed to be the first time she'd ever seen him look at her with such a piercing gaze.

Could it be that he was angry about her attitude towards the kidnapping?

Upon receiving this answer, Bai Qianmo's calm heart was stirred with ripples.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and her eyes curved into crescent shapes.

"Gu Jueye, thank you for your concern, and thank you for coming to pick me up and take me home." As she said this, Bai Qianmo turned her head and stared at him without blinking.

"The day I entered this circle, I understood that anyone who wants to be in this circle must be prepared to be framed, slandered, and defamed. This is all to be expected. But I assure you, I will protect myself. If I really encounter trouble that I can't handle, I still have you as my strong backer!"

Bai Qianmo has a reserved personality and rarely speaks to people she doesn't know well. She only becomes a little more normal when she's with like-minded friends.

But this kind of coquettish behavior was something she had never seen before.

However, her soft, sweet words, coupled with her obsequious and ingratiating surrender at the end, were enough to drive a man crazy for her.

The anger in Gu Jueye's heart instantly turned into a wisp of smoke.

He sighed inwardly, unable to bring himself to be angry with her.

Even though he didn't agree with many of the things she wanted to do, he let her do whatever she wanted.

Gu Jueye sighed softly, seemingly with a deep sense of helplessness.

"Remember what you said today: if you ever encounter a problem you can't solve, think of me first."

Bai Qianmo nodded vigorously: "With you, this great Buddha, by my side, I am so happy."

Gu Jueye was amused by her: "I am the Buddha, what are you?"

Bai Qianmo tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Then I'll be your little follower, the kind of fairy boy who'll do whatever you say, how about that?"

A smile flickered in Gu Jueye's eyes as he gave her a meaningful look.

"I'll just stay a mischievous monkey." No matter how much trouble he causes, he can't escape his grasp.

Bai Qianmo: "..."

Why does it feel like he's flirting with her again?
