"No, no, no," Shang Yechu said quickly.

If you ask Xu Hanwen to speak to him, Zheng Bohan will surely listen.

Shi Shan sat back down in his seat: "Then what should we do?"

Shang Yechu let out a breath and said seriously, "I'll go talk to him."

Shi Shan paused slightly, then turned his probing gaze to Shang Yechu: "Should we wait until the machine is turned on before going?"

If we go now, there will inevitably be gossip and rumors.

Shang Yechu put down the ice pack and rubbed her palms together: "It's okay. The script is interconnected, and everything is interconnected. The sooner we revise it, the better."

Shi Shan said no more, stretched out his long arm, retrieved his phone from a short distance away, and typed a few words.

After typing, Shi Shan showed his phone to Shang Yechu, which displayed an address.

Shang Yechu had already guessed what was going on: "What is this?"

“This is the address and room number of the hotel where Teacher Zheng is staying.” Shi Shan lowered his voice and blinked. “Director Xu told me. Please don’t tell him I told you.”

Shang Yechu laughed: "Okay, okay, if Teacher Zheng asks, I'll just say I dreamed about it."

Shi Shan was amused, but the laugh seemed to affect his forehead and eyes. He hissed and quickly covered his forehead with an ice pack again.

Sharing a secret is the best way to build rapport, and the two were indeed much closer at that moment. Shang Yechu quickly leaned in, asking worriedly, "Are you really sure everything's alright?"

"It's alright." Shi Shan patted Shang Yechu's shoulder to comfort her. "I can feel that you controlled your strength. Actually, it's almost healed, it's just that your skin is a little sore."

Shang Yechu was still worried. Coach Kang swallowed a mouthful of wine and laughed, "Ye, this kid's head is harder than iron. You should worry about yourself!"

Shang Yechu sat back down, then suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Ji Juntao's message yet, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, has my boss replied to me?"

"She replied." Shi Shan handed the phone to Shang Yechu, along with a sympathetic look. "Sorry, I accidentally saw her reply. I didn't mean to."

Shang Yechu took the phone without looking up and said, "It's nothing—"

Seeing the word "Get lost" appear in the message history, Shang Yechu's eye twitched.

Ji Juntao.

Shang Yechu coldly deleted all of Ji Juntao's chat history with her, removed Ji Juntao from Shi Shan's friend list, and returned the phone.

"Are you all alright?" Shi Shan asked in a low voice, seeing the situation. "Should I go and apologize in person?"

"No need," Shang Yechu said with a smile.

After agreeing on a training session three days later, Shang Yechu and Shi Shan went their separate ways home.

It was already too late, so although Shang Yechu politely declined, Shi Shan still called a club car to take her back to the hotel.

Only after arriving at her room did Shang Yechu finally breathe a sigh of relief. She intended to go straight to sleep, but then she remembered that Ji Juntao lived next door, and wondered if he was asleep yet.

Shang Yechu pressed her face against the wall, trying to hear any noise from the other side. However, the hotel's soundproofing was too good, and Shang Yechu heard nothing.

Never mind. It's so late, Ji Juntao is probably already asleep.

Shang Yechu stopped worrying about it, took a shower, and then fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning, Shang Yechu knocked on Ji Juntao's door early. However, no one answered. After asking the waiter, she learned that he hadn't returned the night before.

Shang Yechu's heart jumped. She took out her old-fashioned phone and called Ji Juntao. As soon as the call connected, she heard a cold "Don't call anymore" and was hung up.

Shang Yechu initially breathed a sigh of relief; the fact that Ji Juntao could answer the phone at least proved that nothing serious had happened. That put her at ease. Then, however, she became angry again—she had already apologized, what more did Ji Juntao want? Who was he trying to impress with his haughty act?

Shang Yechu appreciated Ji Juntao's concern that she might be dragged into a quagmire by Shi Shan. However, she was thoroughly fed up with Ji Juntao's controlling nature, his constant surveillance and confinement, which made him like a frightened bird.

Is Shang Yechu really that much like someone who lacks self-control and could be seduced by colleagues?

It was already the limit for Shang Yechu to tolerate Ji Juntao confiscating her phone and following her around 24 hours a day. It was absolutely impossible for her to sincerely repent and kowtow for her escape last night.

While sulking, Shang Yechu ordered several breakfasts and lunches.

After sleeping until ten o'clock, Shang Yechu felt much better, with her headache and dizziness much improved. She ate a hearty breakfast and lunch, exchanged some health points, and her headache completely disappeared.

The warm sunlight streamed into the room through the window. Shang Yechu didn't go out; instead, she took out paper and pen and began writing down her feelings and report on shooting a pistol at a downward angle. She tried to make it as detailed and vivid as possible to increase its persuasiveness.

It took two hours to write this. After Shang Ye finished polishing it, he felt that apart from lacking literary talent, it had no other flaws. So he folded the whole report and put it in his bag.

Shang Yechu called over Aunt Cai, and they drove to the address given by Shi Shan.

She was going to try to persuade Zheng Bohan. Of course, she had to use a respectable pretext.

Zheng Bohan was staying at a star-rated hotel with excellent security measures. Shang Yechu had to have Aunt Cai use her ID to book a room on the same floor as Zheng Bohan before the front desk let her in.

Zheng Bohan lived on the top floor, which was the restaurant. After Shang Yechu and Aunt Cai took the elevator upstairs, Shang Yechu asked Aunt Cai to sit on the sofa in the hallway for a while, and then went to Zheng Bohan's room and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a long time, the door was finally opened.

To Shang Yechu's surprise, the person who opened the door was not Zheng Bohan.

The person who opened the door was none other than Ji Juntao!
