Yi Mu wasn't oblivious to what the female partner meant to him, but he had no intention of getting entangled with the people of this world.
The female supporting character had brought half a bottle of wine, and she ate the other half.
She had no other reason for coming, so she used Yi Mu as an emotional dumping ground, confiding her feelings for Xi Junyan to him.
Yi Mu wasn't listening attentively; he was writing a script while listening to her rambling on.
He only caught the gist of it.
Nishi Junyan is the female supporting character's senior. His charismatic speech at the freshman assembly captivated many female and male students of that year, including the female supporting character.
Because of their family business dealings, the female supporting character had a closer relationship with the others than the others, but Nishi Junyan only ever treated her as a junior and had no other feelings for her.
Nishi Junyan dislikes the female supporting character, and he also dislikes everyone else.
The female supporting character accepts that others can have what she cannot have.
But then Bai Lian appeared. This woman, who was not serious about her work, was always careless, and whose words and actions exuded a rustic charm, unexpectedly entered Xi Junyan's world.
She exploded like an inflating balloon, catching the supporting actress completely off guard.
Unlike Yi Mu, if the female supporting character likes someone, she won't choose to silently protect him. If she can't have him, no one else can either.
She was an obstacle in Xi Junyan and Bai Lian's relationship, using every means to prevent them from being together, but to no avail.
Like the prince and the ugly duckling in a fairy tale, the two overcame countless difficulties and finally entered the hall of marriage.
The female supporting character's feelings for Nishi Junyan are no less than the original owner's feelings for Bai Lian.
Once a woman becomes jealous, men have nothing to do with her.
From the moment Yi Mu threw out the bait to the moment the female supporting character decided to cooperate, they tripped up Xi Junyan in just over half a month.
Although it felt unbelievably smooth, the thought that the person who could have threatened the original owner's life the most could no longer cause trouble made Yi Mu feel good.
He put away the red wine brought by the female supporting character, poured himself a glass of champagne, and looked at the news about the Xi family's businesses being seized.
As a top-tier wealthy family, the Xi family possesses countless assets, including villas, apartments, shops, companies, bonds, stocks, antiques, and paintings, all of which are being auctioned off.
In modern times, Yi Mu enjoys collecting antiques and paintings.
He was browsing those exquisite calligraphy and paintings online, thinking that he should find some time to go to the auction, when there was another knock on the apartment door.
Yi Mu assumed the female supporting character hadn't left yet, so he got up and picked up the half-empty bottle of red wine.
He opened the door, but before his outstretched hand could even get halfway in, it was violently pushed inside by a powerful force.
The tall man, wearing a mask and hat, closed the door behind him, put down the security whistle, and locked the door handle—all in one smooth motion.
Robbery! The thought flashed through Yi Mu's mind as he was pushed to the ground.
Ignoring his sore backside, he slowly raised his hands, stared at the sharp military knife in the man's hand, and swallowed hard.
"Don't be impulsive. You can have whatever you want. The bank card is in the second drawer of the bedside table. The password is [password]. There's also 20,000 yuan in cash."
The man didn't speak, but gestured with the tip of his dagger toward the open bedroom door.
Yi Mu took a deep breath, got up from the ground, still holding his hands up, and walked towards the bedroom.
The man followed behind Yi Mu, holding a dagger to his back, without urging him on. After entering the room, he closed the door behind him.
Yi Mu's nerves skipped a beat. He couldn't quite figure out what the man was up to. Could he be planning to rob him and kill him at the same time?
