Seeing Shi An's attitude, the paparazzo who had been so arrogant just moments before panicked even more. He instinctively took a half-step back, but could only press himself tightly against the wall.
The paparazzi gave an awkward laugh, but before he could speak, Shi An had already placed a hand on his head, narrowing her eyes slightly: "I've said it before, I won't say it twice."
"But, but I really..."
The paparazzi was still trying to get away with it when a sharp pain suddenly shot through him as Shi An punched him in the stomach.
He was like a boiled shrimp, instinctively bending over in pain, and even the camera fell to the ground because he couldn't hold it.
At this moment, Shi An stepped forward, placed one hand on the paparazzi's shoulder, bent down and lowered his voice: "It's fine if you take pictures of me, you know, but why did you have to include her in the photos?"
Upon hearing this, the paparazzi was on the verge of tears.
He's just here to find scandals. If he doesn't film Ruan Qing'an, who else would he film?
Most importantly... don't you care at all that you're a public figure? You actually resorted to underhanded violence!
Seeing Shi An's suspicious look, the paparazzo swallowed hard: "You, you let me go, or you'll never forgive yourself for hitting me!"
"About the time I hit you?"
Shi An raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and a rare smile appeared on his lips: "There are no security cameras here, so who would know that I hit you?"
"Since you're a paparazzo, a little investigation should reveal the identity of the assistant next to me. Do you think... she'd be afraid of your threats? Even if you're crippled, it's all about money, isn't it?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the paparazzo was completely stunned. The pain hadn't subsided, and he knew perfectly well that Shi An was truly capable of violence, and that assistant…
Damn, he knew this woman looked familiar. He thought he'd seen her in the promotional video last time, but now the paparazzi realized—it's clearly her!
The paparazzi spat and cursed under his breath, "Damn it, I misjudged him. I even got outmaneuvered in my own territory! Damn it!"
"Shi An, I was wrong this time. I've deleted the photos. I'll keep what happened today to myself. I hope you and that Miss Ruan won't come after me."
As the paparazzi spoke, he picked up the camera he had dropped on the ground, patted the dust off it with a pained expression, and then deleted the photos in front of Shi An.
After deleting the photos, the paparazzi finally said, "Can I leave now?"
"Wait a minute, my address hasn't been exposed for so long, yet you were able to come directly to the neighborhood. Who told you that?"
Shi An, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, asked in a slightly hoarse voice, his dark eyes fixed on the paparazzi, causing the paparazzi, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, to suddenly feel anxious again.
The paparazzi gave an awkward smile: "Oh, this..."
Just then, the door to the storage room next door was suddenly pushed open, and Ruan Qing'an came out. She covered her nose and waved her hand, saying, "There's a strong smell in there."
Shi An was about to say something to her, but upon hearing Ruan Qing'an's words, he couldn't help but sigh and tap her forehead with his finger: "You're so delicate."
"Hehehe—"
Ruan Qing'an stuck out his tongue before looking at the paparazzi. His previous cheeky and carefree demeanor had completely changed, replaced by an undeniable arrogance in his eyes and brows.
She scoffed and said, "Don't tell me it's something like tracking a package. His identity information has been protected for a long time. It's not that easy to find out."
Upon hearing this, the paparazzi's face contorted.
Damn it, he stole his lines!
Seeing Shi An's icy gaze and Ruan Qing'an's ambiguous smile, the paparazzi sighed and said, "Alright, alright, we've been tricked by you guys."
"Actually, the person who came to see me was a woman named He Xiu. She told me Shi An's address and that Shi An and his assistant had problems and that she could dig up big news, so I came."
The paparazzo sighed. It wasn't until he heard Shi An's description of Ruan Qing'an that he realized the rumors circulating in the industry about not messing with Shi An lately actually meant this.
He never expected that the assistant who appeared online so casually alongside Shi An would actually be Ruan Qing'an—all he could say was, rich people really knew how to have fun!
When Ruan Qingan heard He Xiu's name, he already knew who was behind it all.
She waved her hand: "Alright, you can go now."
"Okay, okay, okay—"
The paparazzi spoke like a lapdog, and he bowed and scraped, then turned and left with his camera in his arms.
When he turned his back, the paparazzi's face immediately darkened. However, the fact that Shi An had a sugar daddy was obviously more sensational than the rumors about Shi An and his assistant!
Just as the paparazzi was secretly rejoicing, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Paparazzi, they must have backups, right? They deleted them so readily."
"Shi An Ni—"
The paparazzo was trembling with anger. He turned his head and saw Shi An's indifferent eyes, but based on the incident of hitting someone earlier, he knew that this guy was definitely capable of lashing out and kicking him.
He shook himself, pulled a data card out of his bag, snapped it in half, and threw it on the ground. He had just secretly taken it from the card!
The paparazzo gave a bitter laugh: "This time it's really over..."
"Get lost."
Only after the paparazzi were out of sight did Shi An step forward, squat down, and pick up the broken data card, his expression icy: "Heh, they won't shed tears until they see the coffin."
"He really has nothing left?"
"There probably won't be any more."
Shi An said casually, after all, the paparazzi obviously did not expect that they could find his backup data card. This was already his backup method, so he would not have left any other preparations.
Since Shi An had said so, Ruan Qing'an felt relieved. However, she changed the subject: "It must have been Ruan Qingling who let these paparazzi over this time."
“Others may not be able to find your address, but Ruan Qingling certainly can. She probably sees that you’re currently riding high and wants to find a way to suppress you.”
As Ruan Qing'an spoke, he rubbed his temples, looking somewhat troubled: "She knows that you are the face of Qiming Entertainment, and if something happens to you, it will be a huge blow to Qiming. So she simply started resorting to underhanded tactics again."
Shi An naturally understood these principles, but this was Ruan Qing'an's area of expertise, so he didn't intend to interfere. He simply asked, "What should we do?"
"It's no longer safe here. Once there's a first one, there will definitely be a second."
"Furthermore... if you ask me, Ruan Qingling now holds the trump card that I'm your sugar daddy, which is headline news that can seriously damage your reputation. She can't possibly not use it, so—"
Ruan Qing'an paused, then suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Shi, let's live together."
Let's live together...
Juba...
Bar……
The usually aloof man's face was unusually blank: "What did you say?"
