Chapter 270 They Wanted to Set Fire
"If you can really anger him, or even alienate the two of you, that would be a good thing."
Fang Jiayu suddenly approached her step by step, a mocking smile spreading across her face.
Sang Ruo's hands, which were placed on either side, clenched tightly at the fingertips in an instant.
It seems this woman has truly gone mad!
Sang Ruo looked directly into her eyes and said bluntly, "The thing I'm least afraid of is being threatened! If you have the guts, then bring it on. If you can't sow discord between us, then you're incompetent!"
After hearing her words, Fang Jiayu clenched her fists in anger.
My fingertips were trembling slightly from using too much force.
Sang Ruo didn't intend to get entangled with her any longer. Before she could respond, she turned and walked into the shop.
She had no idea just how cold the woman behind her was.
"Sang Ruo! You're the one who said 'bring it on!' Then don't blame me for being impolite!"
Fang Jiayu looked her new shop up and down, a seductive smile curving her lips.
This new shop looks really nice...
Over the next few days, Chen Wuye helped keep an eye on the clinic, while Sang Ruo devoted herself almost entirely to the new studio, starting comprehensive promotional work.
Bo Jinyan visited several times during the process, praising her for setting up the new studio very well, and occasionally even came to help her oversee the site.
In the early stages of promotion, Sang Ruo recorded new videos almost every day. Perhaps the promotion worked, and her number of fans suddenly soared to 500,000.
This happened almost overnight, and even she herself was shocked.
In the evening, Chen Anni was scrolling through videos on her tablet when she accidentally came across Sang Ruo's account. A look of obvious joy appeared in her eyes: "In just one week, your account has gained 500,000 followers?"
Sang Ruo smiled faintly: "Yes, that shows the promotion has worked. There have been quite a few more collaborations recently. Yesterday, we sold a jade carving for one million..."
"Really?" Chen Anni's joy intensified. "How do they conduct the transactions privately? Do they come directly to the shop?"
“No.” Sang Ruo shook her head slightly: “For some customers who are relatively close, Song Sui personally drove them there, while for customers who are farther away, we used express delivery to send them over.”
Because she has never revealed her true identity online.
I also dare not let them know my true identity easily, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble.
After all, Chen Anni is right; with fame comes trouble.
She wasn't mentally prepared to stand in front of everyone, so naturally she wouldn't take that risk.
Moreover, her fan base is still growing, and more people may pay attention to her in the future. She hopes that they will focus more on her work and her talent, rather than on her as a person.
"Let's not announce the studio's address for now! We can announce it later when you're mentally prepared."
"good."
Sang Ruo nodded gently, her smile growing wider.
She thought she had done everything perfectly, but a competitor still found her address and targeted her studio.
On Sunday, a heavy snowstorm began and continued until 10 p.m.
Sang Ruo was trapped in the shop and couldn't go back.
As she watched the snow falling heavily, a vague unease suddenly welled up in her heart.
I have a feeling that something is going to happen, but I can't figure out where this intuition comes from.
Chen Anni made a phone call midway to ask if she was already on her way home.
Sang Ruo said helplessly, "I'm trapped inside the studio. The snow outside is too heavy, and the roads near the studio have been blocked. I can't get back at all."
"Then what should we do? You can't just sleep in the studio all night, can you?"
Chen Anni's voice, tinged with anxiety, reached her ears through the phone.
Sang Ruo stood in the huge shop window, looking at the white snow outside, her face extremely grim: "If I really can't leave, then I'll have no choice but to stay here for the night..."
"Alright then! Take care of yourself and call me anytime if anything happens."
"good."
As soon as Sang Ruo hung up the phone and put it down, a message popped up on her screen.
It was sent by Bo Jinyan, who said that the snow outside was heavy and many roads were blocked, and asked if she had arrived home yet.
Sang Ruo was afraid that he would worry, so she didn't tell him the specifics.
I typed out a few words and sent them to her.
I'm already home. Have you arrived home yet?
"bite--"
Another message popped up on my phone screen; it was from Bo Jinyan.
This snow came so suddenly. I was out socializing when it started falling, and I only just found out that many roads are closed. I'll probably be staying here tonight.
There was indeed a very large, high-end club across from the clinic, and a hotel next to it. She guessed he would stay at that hotel that night, so she didn't ask any more questions.
She replied with an "okay" and then put down her phone and went to the restroom.
After a quick wash, I took out a folding bed and placed it in the center of the shop.
I plan to stay here tonight.
Perhaps it was because I was too tired today, but I started to feel sleepy not long after I lay down.
In a daze, she fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how much time had passed, but I could vaguely hear some noises coming from the doorway.
The sound of several people's footsteps completely woke her up.
Then they heard sparse conversations coming from outside the door.
"Be gentle!"
"Be quick! Hurry up..."
"Boss, should we just splash it?"
...
Sang Ruo then felt something being splashed on the roller shutter from the outside.
Within seconds, a strong smell of alcohol instantly entered her nostrils.
At that moment, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Could someone be planning arson?
The moment this thought entered her mind, an unprecedented sense of fear welled up inside her.
She quickly stood up from the chair, walked to the roller shutter without hesitation, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Who's out there? What do you want?"
"Boss! There's someone inside..."
"What should we do?"
...
Sang Ruo quickly reached out and pushed the roller shutter upwards.
Just then, the footsteps outside the door suddenly retreated one after another.
When the roller shutter was pulled a third of the way open, she walked out and immediately saw the three people standing in front of her.
They were three burly men, all wearing hats and masks, and dressed entirely in black, making it impossible to tell who they were.
Upon seeing her emerge, a look of shock crossed the eyes of the group.
Sang Ruo suppressed her nervousness and shouted at them, "Who are you? What do you want?"
