next day

A Bentley arrived on time. After finishing her scene, Bai Qianmo and Su Peishan rode in the other car to Cuishan Residence.

It is winter now, and everything is withered. Only the pine and cypress trees planted in the entire Cuishanju still show a rare green.

The car stopped outside a villa, and someone immediately opened the electronic gate, allowing the car to drive inside.

Upon arriving at the door, the man in the passenger seat got out of the car and respectfully opened the door for Bai Qianmo.

"Miss Bai, we've arrived!"

Bai Qianmo got out of the car and glanced at the tightly closed door.

Su Peishan followed closely behind and tugged at Bai Qianmo's sleeve.

"Won't there be any danger?" The further they walked, the more uneasy Su Peishan felt.

Bai Qianmo didn't show any emotion: "It seems a bit late for you to be thinking about this now."

Su Peishan: "..."

Looking around, the gate was already tightly closed. Entering the wolf's den and then wondering if there were wolves was indeed just adding to the trouble.

"Squeak!"

The door opened with a click, and a group of people hurried out.

The man in the lead was of medium build and around fifty years old; his first impression was that of a shrewd businessman.

"Miss Bai, I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner."

"Mr. Jin."

The person who arrived was Jin Wancai. Bai Qianmo suddenly remembered what Director Kong Shen had said.

No wonder he asked her if she was related to the Jin family; it turns out that all those crazy actions yesterday were orchestrated by Jin Wancai.

Did he do this for Qiao Haiming?

Qiao Haiming is currently still being held at the base. According to information obtained from Jiang Xiaoyu's interrogation, the person behind Qiao Haiming is not Huo Xiuxiu, but someone else.

However, this woman was very stubborn. Despite going through both the water dungeon and the fire dungeon, she never revealed the other party's identity.

This actually piqued her interest even more in the person behind Qiao Haiming.

"Miss Bai actually knows me? Haha, it's truly an honor."

“Successful people like Mr. Jin have a lot of information about them online. I even had the privilege of watching one of your interview videos,” Bai Qianmo replied politely.

The interview video was fake. Before filming "The Legend of 1900", she had already investigated Wanxin Film Industry and naturally knew Jin Wancai.

Jin Wancai laughed heartily: "Miss Bai, it's cold outside, be careful not to move around. Let's talk inside."

Bai Qianmo nodded and followed Jin Wancai into the villa.

At this moment, near a fence outside the villa, two furtive figures lingered.

In the magnificent living room

Bai Qianmo and Su Peishan sat on the sofa, and immediately a maid brought them tea and snacks.

Jin Wancai said, "Miss Bai, I only recently learned that you are the female lead in the drama 'The Legend of 1900'. I'm really sorry. If I had known it was you earlier, I would have definitely informed the production team in advance."

As they were talking, Jin Wancai personally picked up the teapot and poured tea for Bai Qianmo and Su Peishan.

"By the way, if there's anything else you need help with on set, just let me know. As long as it's within my power, I'll definitely help you without hesitation."

"Mr. Jin, you're too kind. I'm just a small-time actress, how could I possibly accept such a grand gesture?" Bai Qianmo held her teacup, her calm eyes fixed on the rising steam within.

Jin Wancai stopped smiling and became extremely respectful.

"You underestimate yourself. In this capital city, who else has such great fortune as you..."

After Jin Wancai finished speaking, Bai Qianmo understood everything.

If you can get the CEO of a listed conglomerate, a major conglomerate on the edge of a film studio, to lower himself to flatter you, then your value must lie here.

Her intrinsic value likely stems from someone else.

"Mr. Jin, please speak frankly. There must be a reason why you are so attentive and caring towards me."

A glint flashed in Jin Wancai's eyes as he looked at Bai Qianmo with a meaningful gaze.

"Miss Bai, you truly deserve the Lord's favor. You are a wonderfully intelligent and insightful person."

Bai Qianmo smiled slightly, realizing that he had indeed found out about her relationship with Gu Jueye.

"So Mr. Jin wants me to put in a good word for you with the Duke?"

"Hehe, Miss Bai, with a status like Lord Jue's, I, Jin Wancai, really dare not presume to be associated with him, nor did I intend to disturb him. I simply learned that you were acting in the film crew I invested in, and I just wanted to do my best to take care of you, so that Lord Jue could be at ease, right?"

"Furthermore, my assistant Qiao Haiming kidnapped your mother, Ms. Han, some time ago. Although I only found out about this afterward, this woman is still somewhat related to me. I misjudged her and kept a troublemaker by my side, which has disturbed Ms. Han and Ms. Bai. I have always felt deeply guilty about this and would like to take this opportunity to express my apologies to Ms. Bai and Ms. Han."

Jin Wancai's words were actually a way of distancing himself from Qiao Haiming.

She had investigated this matter before, and Jin Wancai was indeed unaware that Qiao Haiming had kidnapped Han Songyan.

"Since it has nothing to do with President Jin, you don't need to take it too seriously. However, President Jin, I hope to receive the same treatment as everyone else in the crew while I'm filming. From today onwards, you don't need to worry about me anymore."

Jin Wancai said apologetically, "I'm sorry if I've disturbed Miss Bai. Don't worry, I won't send anyone from the production team over there again. However, I will work with the production team to maintain a good relationship. It's my responsibility to protect your personal safety while you're filming here."

Bai Qianmo understood that Jin Wancai was doing this not for her sake, but to show Lord Jue his sincerity.

As long as it doesn't interfere with her daily filming, she doesn't bother with other people's sycophantic behavior.

After chatting briefly with Jin Wancai, Bai Qianmo excused herself by saying she had to film a movie and then left Cuishan Residence.

Jin Wancai escorted her all the way to the gate, showing his utmost sincerity.
