Just as Bai Chi was lamenting that beauty could lead one astray and was about to contact Xiao Hei, he noticed that Du Yunxiao had arrived.
He didn't even have time to change out of his filming clothes; he just put on a cloak and a mask before running over.
As Bai Chi looked towards the door, the waiter also happened to look over. The moment their eyes met, he waved his hand to refuse the waiter and then strode over.
The person arrived before the voice.
"Achi, Sister Zhao."
You could tell he was a little anxious, probably because he was afraid the two of them would argue.
One was his beloved, and the other was his mentor; naturally, he didn't want the two of them to quarrel.
Bai Chi gave her a comforting look, and Zhao Li turned her head at the sound.
There was no tense standoff between the two, which relieved Du Yunxiao, who then sat down next to Bai Chi.
There were many fans and fansites outside the film set with their cameras and microphones, so Du Yunxiao had to be very careful not to be recognized. Even now, he was completely covered up.
Bai Chi was the first to explain: "Don't worry, Sister Zhao and I are talking about Yan Ruyu."
Then, he told Du Yunxiao about Yan Ruyu's situation.
"Sister Zhao and I suspect that Yan Ruyu may have gone a little crazy. We are worried that he might take extreme measures and harm you, so we plan to deal with his situation first."
While Bai Chi was explaining, Du Yunxiao had already finished watching the video. Since A Chi and Sister Zhao hadn't argued, he was naturally relieved, but then he was filled with doubt and confusion.
“I noticed during the last recording of the show that he seemed to be targeting me, but apart from filming ‘Divine Realm’, I haven’t had any interaction with him, right?”
Bai Chi said helplessly, "It's probably because of me."
Du Yunxiao was taken aback at first, then reacted, grabbed Bai Chi's hand on the table, and his eyes widened.
"Ah Chi, could it be that Yan Ruyu has feelings for you...?"
He was clearly starting to get jealous; the way he was gritting his teeth was so intense that if Yan Ruyu were here, she probably would have already punched him to warn him not to covet Achi!
Bai Chi immediately guessed Du Yunxiao's thoughts and was both amused and exasperated.
"What are you thinking? What I mean is, maybe he felt embarrassed because I changed jobs, so he held a grudge against you."
After all, he switched jobs to work for Du Yunxiao.
Du Yunxiao also breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, so that's what it was about."
A flash of light suddenly appeared on the distant hillside, more than a thousand meters away, precisely piercing Bai Chi's eyes through the gaps in the greenery outside the coffee shop.
'Little Black!'
'Okay, master, I saw it. Don't worry, I won't let the photos circulate online!'
Because of the angle, only Bai Chi noticed it; Du Yunxiao and Sister Zhao didn't.
The three then sat down and exchanged a few more words, mostly Zhao Jie asking about the filming progress and Du Yunxiao's availability to take leave from the crew.
The three of them didn't linger for long and quickly returned to the film set. Sister Zhao wasn't in a hurry to leave either, but planned to stay for two days to supervise Du Yunxiao's work.
And Bai Chi finally got down to business.
It's naturally about Yan Ruyu.
"Xiao Hei, did Yan Ruyu get involved with contraband?"
He knew that no matter what circle you're in, there will always be some people who can't help but fall into depravity, but no matter what, the bottom line is one that can never be crossed.
If you touch it, if you get caught, no matter how powerful your backing or background is, you absolutely cannot protect yourself.
Even with so-called powerful backers, they can't withstand the crackdown on organized crime.
Little Black emerged from its cat bed by the window and stretched: "Master, I thought you'd abandoned him."
That casual remark made Bai Chi feel embarrassed.
'How could that be? Isn't this giving him time to cause trouble? So, what evidence did you find on surveillance footage?'
Even if you really forgot, you can't admit it!
Xiao Hei didn't argue much, but instead talked about his discoveries over the past few days.
"Master, Yan Ruyu is indeed problematic. He receives a specific supply of tobacco every day, delivered on time, and it's supervised by Xiao Ding. He's not allowed to smoke it before the designated time."
"Furthermore, Yan Ruyu's personality is inherently unpredictable in private, and lately she's even become somewhat out of control in front of outsiders."
The incandescent bulb revealed the key point: 'Special supply cigarettes?'
I recalled the original owner's memories.
"Master, the original owner's memories contain no information about cigarettes, so he should be completely unaware of this. This matter is known to Xiaolin and Liu Yong."
As Xiao Hei spoke, he quickly sent all the data for the entire line to Bai Chi.
Bai Chi was surprised, then felt ashamed.
It seems that Xiao Hei hasn't been idle at all during the time he's been putting Yan Ruyu out of his mind.
He coughed lightly, pretending to cover up his dereliction of duty.
"The entertainment industry is really different. Once they join a production, they stay away for long periods. Even minor stars can't see the big shots. Yan Ruyu can only be angry in silence; she can't even go and cause trouble."
If Yan Ruyu hadn't come looking for trouble, he would have forgotten about her.
However, Xiao Hei ruthlessly exposed this explanation.
'Master, even if you just say you only care about your husband, I won't laugh at you.'
Then I got flicked on the forehead.
It seems the master is furious. The clever little black dog stopped talking and handed over the information it had recently compiled to its master.
With his thoughts back on the matter at hand, Bai Chi quickly figured out the relationship between Yan Ruyu and Liu Yong.
It really is a supplier-supplier relationship.
On the surface, one is the agent and the other is the actor, but in reality, one is the supplier and the other is the buyer.
