Having finally gotten rid of the unreasonable dog, Qin Sheng took Xia Ziru to the empty private room next door.
She had already vomited twice and taken the hangover medicine Qin Sheng gave her, so she was completely sober.
But precisely because she was so clear-headed, a wave of fear and worry washed over her uncontrollably, making her feel anxious.
Therefore, once it was just her and Qin Sheng left, she immediately wanted to speak.
Qin Sheng spoke first, asking, "What happened?"
Xia Ziru was stunned, unable to come to her senses.
It wasn't until Qin Sheng looked up at her and asked with a soft "Hmm?" that she shuddered and suddenly snapped back to reality.
His deep-colored eyes instantly turned red.
The soreness in her nose was almost overflowing, but she couldn't hold back and didn't let the tears fall.
Although her voice was hoarse and soft, she recounted the cause and effect in an orderly manner.
Ever since she received Qin Sheng's business card last Friday, she has been thinking about finding time to personally meet Xu Xiao and discuss the follow-up contract with Jia Bo after the termination of the contract.
Coincidentally, just one Sunday later, she had a trip to Ancheng to shoot an advertisement.
She took this opportunity to speed up the filming of the advertisement and took Liu Di to Shengxiao Entertainment that evening.
Xia Ziru has been at Jiabo for almost three years. Although she is still just a nobody, she is naturally perceptive and observant. After three years, she knows all too well what kind of unscrupulous company Jiabo is.
They won't let their artists leave easily.
Therefore, even though she had Qin Sheng's business card and the opportunity to join Shengxiao, Xia Ziru didn't dare to make a fuss. She only thought about meeting Xu Xiao first and then formally mentioning the job change and signing a new contract after the contract ended.
She thought she had been extremely careful, but the company still found out in the end.
At this point, Xia Ziru's voice became even hoarser, and a faint but undeniable pain flashed across her eyes as she continued, "It was Liu Di, my manager, who betrayed me."
“Jiabo has always adopted a strategy of cooperation between agents and artists, but also mutual supervision and checks and balances. They spend a lot of time together, which means that there are almost no secrets between agents and the artists under their management.”
“From the beginning, I knew that I couldn’t hide my intention to leave Jiabo from Liu Di, so I didn’t intend to hide it from her. Instead, I promised her that I would find a way to take her with me and join Shengxiao together.”
"Although my relationship with her was mostly based on business interests, we got along quite well over the past three years. When I suggested taking her with me, her happiness was genuine. But I don't know why, she still told the company everything."
Xia Ziru closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, the pain in her eyes had completely disappeared. Apart from being a little pale, she had returned to the composed demeanor she had when Qin Sheng first met her.
She continued, "Of course, I had considered this scenario and prepared accordingly, but what I didn't expect was..."
Xia Ziru clenched her fists tightly, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes: "Liu Di is even more ruthless and merciless than I imagined."
"She told the company about my sister."
This younger sister does not refer to Xia Tian, but to Xia Ziru's biological younger sister, Xia Zitong, who shares the same parents.
When Xia Zitong was mentioned, Xia Ziru couldn't hold back her emotions: "Xiaotong has congenital heart disease and has been in poor health since she was a child. In recent years, she has been living in the hospital and has never left. But just yesterday, I received a call from the hospital. They told me that Xiaotong was missing."
Qin Sheng had more or less figured things out and said, "So Jia Bo took your sister away and threatened you to do things?"
That's not right either.
Qin Sheng frowned: "Why now of all times?"
Xia Ziru was stunned for a moment before she realized something she had overlooked.
Yeah, why now of all times?
She had been with Jiabo for three years, and although the company had expressed its desire for her to accompany clients for drinks many times during those three years, it had never forced her to do so.
Basically, it was only after Liu Di brought it up that she was unwilling and put it aside for the time being.
This time, however, there wasn't even a consultation process with her; they simply detained her sister and threatened and coerced her.
If Xia Ziru doesn't feel that her value is high enough to warrant the company taking such a big risk, then it can only mean that they have ulterior motives for doing this.
As for what they're after...
Xia Ziru looked up at the girl in front of her.
It can only be her.
Qin Sheng is the only variable in her life recently.
Some overlooked details gradually surfaced in her mind, and then pieced together bit by bit. At one moment, Xia Ziru suddenly opened her eyes: "They're after you!"
Qin Sheng pinched her fingertips: "Perhaps."
Xia Ziru shook her head and said with certainty, "It's not maybe, it's definitely true."
"It just so happens that you came to Yunshuijian and happened to witness this and save me. But even if you hadn't come, Jiabo would have definitely found another way to lure you here."
The more Xia Ziru spoke, the clearer her thoughts became, and the faster she spoke: "That's right, from the very beginning, their target was you, from the moment they found out I had contacted Xu Xiao... no, that's not right, it should be that they knew I wanted to get to know you... they had already been planning this!"
Jiabo's target has always been Qin Sheng!
Xia Ziru felt increasingly terrified as she thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that things were developing in a direction that was beyond her expectations. Her fingers even began to tremble uncontrollably.
But what Qin Sheng said next terrified her even more.
Qin Sheng looked up at her, her voice still calm, and said, "It started even earlier, probably when that little fairy from Ruru's family appeared on Weibo... or when someone with ulterior motives photographed the cast list of 'Mountains and Rivers'."
“The plan was set out at that time.”
Having accurately predicted Xia Ziru's ambition and audacity, as well as her attitude and soft heart towards Xia Ziru, she stepped into a meticulously designed trap from the very beginning.
And the person who set up the scheme...
Qin Sheng glanced towards the door of the private room and said in a cold voice, "Am I right, Captain Gu, Mr. Loren?"
A long period of calm.
There was no movement outside for a long time, so long that Xia Ziru was almost about to think that she and Qin Sheng had misunderstood, when finally the door to the private room slowly opened.
Accompanied by rhythmic clapping, the man's refined and gentle voice entered my ears.
The voice said, "Tendo, you truly lived up to my expectations of being the person I've been searching for. You haven't disappointed me at all."
Then another disdainful voice followed: "So what if you guessed it? You still fell into our trap. Qin Sheng, I'd like to see who can save you this time!"
