Fu Qingyan quieted down for a while, but then she turned her attention to Tang Yilan.
Now Jiang Can no longer receives her morning and evening greetings, but Tang Yilan is being bothered by her every day to the point of having a headache.
It was a sunny weekend, and Jiang Can was comfortably sunbathing on a deck chair in the yard when she suddenly heard a rapid doorbell ring.
The housekeeper went to open the door and saw Tang Yilan rushing over with messy hair and dark circles under her eyes.
"Ah—CanCan, I'm begging you, please tame that fairy! Please tame her, please!"
Jiang Can burst out laughing and pulled Tang Yilan to sit next to her.
Then she looked at all the messages and emails that Fu Qingyan had sent to Tang Yilan over the past few days.
Besides the usual inspirational quotes, there are countless photos.
There are her sexy photos, bare-faced photos, nude makeup photos, heavy makeup photos, and everyday photos, from various angles including front, side, and back.
The scariest one was posted last night, a close-up photo.
Jiang Can was drinking yogurt when she almost sprayed it on Tang Yilan's face.
"Now do you know how much I suffer every day?" Tang Yilan looked at her incredulously. "She demands to be the leading lady every single day! How can there be such a shameless person in the world!"
Jiang Can forced a laugh, "Just block her!"
"You think I haven't done this before?" Tang Yilan sighed to the sky. "Every time I block her, she comes straight to my studio and waits for me! What's the point of my further studies? I can't even attend classes or edit videos!"
Jiang Can hugged her with immense sympathy.
In fact, this whole thing started because of her. If she hadn't fired Fu Qingyan from her job at the company, Fu Qingyan wouldn't have bothered Tang Yilan all the time.
"I just can't take it anymore!"
Tang Yilan pounded the recliner hard.
The talented female director has filmed all kinds of grand scenes. She is not only talented but also known for her composure.
Now, however, she has been forced to lose all her dignity by Fu Qingyan.
If we confront her directly, and if some busybody reporters take photos and the images get back to China, it would be a huge loss.
"It seems there's no other way but to endure it now," Tang Yilan sighed. "If Wenwen were here, she would have plenty of ways to deal with this kind of woman!"
"By the way, where's Wenwen?"
"She's filming a new movie, she's very busy!"
"I'll give you an idea." Jiang Can rolled her eyes and leaned closer with a mischievous grin. "Why don't you call Nie Xin over? He's so handsome, Fu Qingyan will be ecstatic when she sees him, and then she won't bother you anymore!"
"you……"
Tang Yilan glared at her and raised her hand as if to hit her.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Can laughed heartily. "Are you reluctant to part with him? Don't you want Nie Xin to use his good looks to help you out of this predicament?"
Tang Yilan's face flushed red instantly. "Jiang Can! See how I deal with you!"
The two joked and laughed, and the little flowers in the yard swayed in the wind, seemingly blooming even more brightly.
"Alright, for the sake of my godson, I'll let you off this time!" Tang Yilan tossed her hair arrogantly.
“Honestly,” Jiang Can said, putting his arms around her neck, “it’s been so long, and you still haven’t made up your mind?”
"...What are you saying?"
"Your life's most important matter!" Jiang Can was even more anxious than she was.
However, Tang Yilan quickly removed her hand, "Young Madam, your husband is still home! Don't hug and cuddle!"
"I'm saying you..."
Before Jiang Can could finish speaking, Huo Zhixing hurriedly walked out.
His expression was slightly solemn, and he nodded slightly to Tang Yilan in greeting.
"What happened?" Jiang Can got up and went over.
Huo Zhixing hesitated for a moment.
He glanced at Tang Yilan, pondered for a moment, and then uttered a few heavy words: "Ye Chen is in trouble."
"What?" Jiang Can was taken aback.
Tang Yilan was also stunned, her heart seemed to stop beating, and her mind went blank.
...
Tang Yilan had no recollection of what happened next.
All she could remember was Jiang Can staying by her side, warming her cold, trembling hands with the warmth of her palms.
She sat in the police station, her mind in turmoil, her ears ringing, feeling as if she had lost all ability to act and think, and could only wait for Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing to arrange everything for her.
Police arrested several suspects, a local gang that specialized in robbing foreigners near the airport.
Among the seized items were Ye Chen's suitcase and handbag.
They confessed that the night before last, they robbed a foreigner in an alley, but the man resisted fiercely and even tried to call the police. Enraged, they stabbed him twice with a dagger.
The man lay in a pool of blood, and they took the opportunity to steal all his belongings.
After that, they didn't know whether the person lived or died.
Tang Yilan sat there stiffly, clutching the lucky bag Ye Chen had given her.
"Yilan, don't worry," Jiang Can comforted her. "Attorney Ye is very lucky; he'll definitely be alright. Besides... he's a lawyer; he knows a lot and has many friends here. He'll surely turn bad luck into good..."
Tang Yilan sniffed and forced a smile.
Huo Zhixing put his arm around Jiang Can's shoulder and looked at Tang Yilan.
"The police are now doing everything they can to find him," he said. "I've also sent people to look for him, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"Mm." Tang Yilan nodded.
It means "should" be fine, not "absolutely fine".
Even without them saying it, she knew that Ye Chen's injuries were severe, and those desperate criminals wouldn't hold back.
He has no money left, his phone and passport have been stolen, and he is now wandering the streets of a foreign country, seriously injured...
Tang Yilan dared not think any further and closed her eyes tightly.
Huo Zhixing's phone rang, and he quickly answered, "How is it?"
"Young master, we've checked with all the hospitals in Manchester, and none of them have admitted a foreigner with knife wounds!"
Huo Zhixing's heart leaped into his throat, his fingers tightened, and he trembled slightly.
"Keep searching!" he roared into the phone. "A grown man can't just disappear like that! We have to find him, even if we have to turn the whole of Manchester upside down!"
"Yes, yes..."
Huo Zhixing took a deep breath, a sense of guilt washing over him.
If he hadn't casually mentioned on the phone that Tang Yilan was studying in England, Ye Chen wouldn't have rushed off to England under the guise of a business trip.
If he hadn't come to England, he wouldn't have suffered this ordeal.
Ye Chen and he grew up together and had a deep friendship, but now he has ruined him!
“Husband…” Jiang Can sat down beside him and gently stroked his back.
Huo Zhixing was filled with remorse, "If anything happens to Ye Chen, I will never forgive myself!"
Jiang Can bit her lip, unsure how to reassure him.
Just then, a police officer came over and said, "A male corpse has been found by the Moxi River. His appearance and physical characteristics are extremely similar to your friend... It has been brought here now. I wonder if any of you would like to come with me to identify him?"
Huo Zhixing was stunned and couldn't say a word.
