Chapter 184

Chu Shuangyan? It's him again.

It turns out that the big star who caused Qin Lide's death was actually him?

A thousand thoughts raced through Qin Su's mind, but her tone remained calm: "Grandpa, the entertainment industry is quite complicated, and you probably don't know much about it. Why don't I go with you?"

Qin Lide fell silent for a moment.

In the past, he definitely wouldn't have taken Qin Su with him, but in the incident with Fang Jianye, Qin Su showed abilities that were completely different from before, and it seemed that she really had some talent in this area.

Qin Su noticed his hesitation and added fuel to the fire: "Besides, Grandpa and I haven't gone out together in a long time. Let's take this opportunity to travel together. Maybe we can stay in Haishi for a few more days and see the scenic spots."

Qin Lide was persuaded and agreed, "Alright, let's go together then."

Chu Shuangyan's agent originally planned to send someone to pick up Qin Lide, but Qin Lide wanted to go with Qin Su, so he decided to set off on his own.

When Chu Shuangyan's agent heard that Qin Lide was bringing one more person, he didn't ask any questions. He simply reiterated that he had already prepared food, accommodation, and transportation for the master, and asked him to rest assured.

It takes less than two hours to fly from H province to Haishi. Qin Su and Qin Lide set off in the morning and arrived in the morning.

Chu Shuangyan's agent personally drove to pick her up from the airport. Just as he was worried about how to explain the current situation to the master, he saw a slender figure appear in front of him.

The agent's eyes lit up, and his gaze immediately froze like a nail.

Even from this distance, before one could clearly see the other's face, one was already struck by the other's majestic demeanor.

Most celebrities who are popular in the entertainment industry have to undergo etiquette training to ensure they look elegant and beautiful in front of the camera, but their agents have never seen such natural beauty.

As an agent, she was even more adept at recognizing and appreciating beauty, to the point that she momentarily forgot she was there to pick someone up, her eyes glued to the person, following their every step.

Until she realized that the other person's figure was getting closer and closer, and their appearance was becoming clearer and clearer, she could even see the beautifully curled hair, the delicate facial features, and the movement of finally stopping.

The stunning beauty, so close yet so far, casually glanced up, and a bright light immediately shone from the corner of her eye. The butterfly-wing-like shadows cast by her dark eyelashes on her snow-white skin also vanished with that glance, like a butterfly startled and fluttering away, sending a shiver down one's spine.

"Hello." Bright red lips parted and opened in my line of sight. "I am Qin Su, and this is my grandfather."

Ah, the beautiful woman's name is Qin Su.

The agent thought vaguely, there was no such name in the entertainment industry, but why did it sound somewhat familiar? Had she heard this name somewhere before? And why was there a grandfather involved?

Suddenly, the word "grandfather" jolted her awake. She suddenly remembered that the master had told her on the phone yesterday that he would bring his granddaughter Qin Su along.

The agent snapped to attention and looked to the side. Sure enough, there was another well-dressed old gentleman.

"Oh—hello, hello." The agent quickly reached out to shake the other's hand, feeling an unusually soft and delicate touch. Her heart fluttered, but she dared not think too much about it. She then shook hands with Qin Lide. "You must be Master Qin? Seeing is believing, Master Qin is indeed radiant. My surname is Dong, you can just call me Xiao Dong."

Qin Lide shook hands with the other party and nodded, saying, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

The agent repeatedly said no, but then eagerly helped carry the luggage, opened the car door, and ushered the two people into the back seat.

She sat in the driver's seat, slowly starting the vehicle while quickly glancing at Qin Su and Qin Lide in the rearview mirror.

Qin Su looked quite young, probably in her early twenties. She had originally wanted to call her Ms. Qin, but then felt that it made her sound older, so she changed her address.

"Master Qin, Miss Qin, it's almost lunchtime. How about we grab a bite to eat and chat over? I've made a reservation at a local restaurant; the food is really delicious. Would you two like to try it?"

Qin Lide glanced at Qin Su and replied, "Then thank you very much for your hospitality, Xiao Dong."

The agent smiled and said, "Of course."

Having worked in the entertainment industry for so many years, and even mentoring top star Chu Shuangyan, she naturally possesses a charming and diplomatic personality. Throughout the journey, she engaged in appropriate conversations, speaking just the right amount of words, neither annoying nor awkward.

She saw Qin Su carrying a carrier with a long-haired cat lying obediently inside. She even exchanged some cat-raising tips with Qin Su, speaking eloquently and knowledgeably.

If Qin Su really is a cat owner, the two of them would probably have a very pleasant conversation.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that this cat was not an ordinary cat, and the carrier was just a disguise. Qin Su had never actually owned a cat before.

Even so, the little dragon hidden in Qin Su's sleeve, disguised as a bracelet, was also very dissatisfied.

What's there to talk about with cats? Hmph, why not talk about dragons!

Qin Su sensed his restlessness and gently stroked him a few times to comfort him.

Agent Dong came to pick him up from the airport alone. Qin Lide thought that the celebrity Chu Shuangyan, who needed to resolve the issue, was waiting in the private room, but unexpectedly, Chu Shuangyan did not show up even when the food was served.

Qin Lide, holding his teacup, asked in confusion, "Xiao Dong, are we only seeing you today?"

Agent Dong gave an awkward smile: "This... is also something I wanted to tell you, Master. I hope you won't be angry."

Qin Lide said, "You go first."

"That's right. As you know, many young people these days don't really believe in old knowledge from the past." The agent put it tactfully. "Ah Chu has always had reservations about this kind of thing. He doesn't even know I'm bothering you this time."

The agent felt extremely helpless.

She had mentioned to Chu Shuangyan more than once that she wanted to find a master to take a look at her, but Chu Shuangyan refused every time, saying that those were all feudal superstitions and all lies.

The agent felt it was inappropriate to go against his wishes, so he kept delaying, and now even a dating scandal has surfaced.

As soon as the rumor was exposed, the agent quickly questioned Chu Shuangyan, who replied impatiently, "It's fake, I'm not dating anyone."

The agent was still worried, so he secretly asked Chu Shuangyan's assistant, who often accompanied him. The assistant also replied that it was not a relationship, but then looked hesitant.

The assistant finally couldn't hold back and told the truth after the agent pressed her repeatedly.

"Sister Dong, the woman I met with Brother Chu seems to be a Taoist priest. I even smelled incense burning twice. And Brother Chu always gives her a lot of money... Brother Chu told me to mind my own business, but I still feel something's off."

The agent was startled.

Taoist priest, burning incense, large sum of money transfer—these keywords together just don't seem right. Either Chu Shuangyan has been scammed, or he's really up to something shady.

What worried her even more was that Chu Shuangyan kept quiet about it. If it weren't for this scandal, she wouldn't have heard a word about it.

“I’ve been with him since he was a teenager. I’ve been with him 350 days a year. To exaggerate, our relationship is closer than his relationship with his family. He used to tell me everything, but he’s changed a lot in the last two years.”

The agent frowned, perhaps because of the many troubles of the past two years; his brow was now etched with obvious wrinkles.

"Master Qin, to be honest, the entertainment industry is a place where people are extremely profit-driven. People here will do anything for their ambitions. It's not uncommon for them to raise ghosts to sabotage their rivals. I suspect that Ah Chu was too popular a few years ago and was resented by others. They used some underhanded methods and I would like you to help me take a look."

“But while Achu said he didn’t want to get involved in these things, he secretly met with Taoist priests behind my back. I’m worried that he’s been deceived.”

"So I have a favor to ask, Master Qin, could we avoid directly communicating with A-Chu and instead try to get information indirectly? We can also teach that female Taoist priest a lesson while we're at it."
