Meanwhile, Bo Changling was extremely annoyed looking at the two strangers and the crew members who knew nothing about the program.
He's like a balloon about to burst; with just a gentle poke, it'll explode with a bang.
"Is this how you make TV shows? The people have run away, and you don't even know!"
Bo Changling's menacing demeanor was quite intimidating; after all, the title of King Yama wasn't given lightly.
The production team was unaware of this; they were kept in the dark and had no idea that the people had secretly run away.
But they didn't dare say that, since the man in front of them was already furious, and if they said anything, they would only add fuel to the fire.
Bo Changling looked at the group of people in the room pretending to be mute, his fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly as he suppressed his anger.
"Who are the staff here? I need to access the security footage and review the surveillance footage from all the rooms."
"No, sir. This is the host's private room, and there are no security cameras here."
A man dressed like a butler stepped forward. Although he was middle-aged, he had an extraordinary air about him.
Facing the furious Bo Changling, he didn't even blink, smiling at him and speaking softly.
Even though his tone was pleasant, Bo Changling could still clearly tell that the other party was very confident and had a tough attitude.
"Are you one of Han Jin's people?"
Bo Changling narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in his long, narrow pupils, making him look like a hunting leopard, someone no one dared to provoke.
He had already guessed that Han Jin must have left a backup plan by choosing such a secluded place.
Looking back now, it's not just that they left themselves a backup plan; they practically brought out their watchdog.
These moves are all part of a well-planned scheme; who would believe it was unplanned?
"Where is Xi'er? What have you done to her? Hand her over now!"
Bo Changling spoke coldly, glancing at the people around him.
Some people would lower their heads in fear when they met his gaze, while others would hold their heads high and straighten their backs.
With such a scan, it becomes very clear who is on his side.
If Han Jin were truly just an ordinary university professor, it would be obvious that he couldn't have orchestrated such a large-scale operation.
Looking at it now, the people behind him are quite powerful, or at least the power he hasn't yet taken over is considerable.
"Ha, the Han family really has a lot of resources. The people they hired are also very professional. What, are they trying to make an enemy of me by scheming against me like this?"
Bo Changling's voice grew colder as he memorized each of their faces, making a note of them.
"Tsk, the Bo family's son has such a temper. You can't pursue girls like that."
A gentle yet sharp voice rang out, and everyone spontaneously made way for him.
Clearly, this is Han Mu, the most influential head of the Han family and Han Jin's father.
"It turns out that the famous head of the Han family is actually a hypocrite who indulges his juniors' misbehavior."
Bo Changling felt absolutely no goodwill towards this senior whom he had never met before.
He knew the other party was very powerful, but so what? To him, the other party was just a bastard.
"Oh dear, young man from the Bo family, now that you've come to my Han family's territory, I'll have to treat you well on behalf of my son."
Han Mu was indeed a cunning old fox. He could clearly hear the disrespect in Bo Changling's tone, but he remained gentle and polite, making him impossible to read.
Bo Changling was indignant. He took a deep breath, the veins on his forehead throbbing, and forcefully suppressed his anger.
"I won't bother you any longer, but could you please control your son and return Xi'er to me? You can't protect your son when he does something wrong."
"Hahaha, young man of the Bo family, what's wrong with that? A beautiful lady is sought after by a gentleman. This young lady isn't your wife. You should give her a fair chance to pursue him."
Han Mu refused to budge an inch. What a joke! This was his son's life-long affair. If he were to give in again, he would never be able to hold his grandson in this lifetime.
Old fox!
Looking at the men the other side had brought, and then at his own weak and outnumbered forces, Bo Changling realized that a fierce battle was out of the question.
If persuasion fails and the other party won't budge, and physical force is outmatched, what else can I do?
This was the first time Bo Changling felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and... that urgent feeling of about to lose something.
"Walk."
Finally, Bo Changling slowly uttered a single word, and the others did not make things difficult for him, obeying Han Mu's order to make way for him.
