Chapter 167 Chi Yun

The next afternoon when Zhang Xiaoyu arrived, Han Zhong had already left. The person responsible for sending them to the airport was Yao Ping, who was called in amidst his busy schedule.

Yao Pingsi was not surprised to see Jiang Wu again. After all, their boss was not someone who would give up easily.

However, Zhang Xiaoyu felt very embarrassed when Yao Ping, who looked like a high-ranking elite, personally came to send them to the airport. He was even more confused when he was led into the VIP lounge by the airline staff after arriving at the airport, where he sat on a leather sofa and stepped on an imported handmade cashmere carpet.

"...Well, if I remember correctly, the economy class we booked doesn't have this service, right?"

Yao Ping smiled and replied, "President Han has asked me to upgrade your cabin. As for this VIP lounge, it was specially set up by the airline for President Han. Mr. Jiang can use it at any time."

Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned when he heard this. He was so ignorant. He only knew that rich people had VIP lounges on airplanes, but this was the first time he knew that an airline could set up a private VIP lounge just for one person.

He was standing on a handmade carpet worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, drinking limited edition coffee from South America from a cup that he could not afford with his monthly salary. It was like a dream, and he felt lucky that he was tricked by Yu Guangyuan into becoming Jiang Wu's assistant, otherwise he would not be where he is today.

After Yao Ping had arranged for the two people, his cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and listened to a few words with a hint of surprise on his face. Then he subconsciously looked up at Jiang Wu, then immediately retracted his gaze, said a few words to the other end of the phone and hung up.

Yao Ping's face was a little serious. "Recently, some rumors about Mr. Jiang were published on the Internet. Photos of you and President Han were taken together."

Jiang Wu hadn't been online recently, so upon hearing this, he immediately took out his cell phone and opened Weibo.

#Huayue President Cufflinks Owner#

#Jiang Wu Zi Garden#

#Ke Xingyan Zuo Ran#

These three terms firmly occupied the top three of the hot searches, each followed by a red "explosion". He clicked on them to take a look, and each one was related to him. The pinned post in the first term was three photos posted by Zhao Xiaozhao. The first one was a photo of Jiang Wu in Ziyuan, and the second one was Jiang Wu walking down from the back seat of a black Maybach. In the photo, a tall and slender man could be vaguely seen sitting in the back seat. The suit cufflinks on his exposed hand looked very familiar. They were the cufflinks worn by the man sitting on Jiang Wu's left at the auction that Jiang Wu and Zhong Xue attended.

The netizen nicknamed MVP was tagged by other netizens and personally confirmed everyone's speculation.

MVP: It is the same one. The only custom-made model I asked about is this one. I can’t say anything else because the number is sold out.

If it was just this one thing, netizens would not have believed Zhao Xiaozhao's rumors, but the third photo directly killed the relationship between Jiang Wu and the other party.

It was a somewhat blurry photo, but one could still see Jiang Wu being held in the arms of a man who was half a head taller than him, with his eyes half closed and an unconscious look. It was very ambiguous, and it was easy to guess what the two would do next.

Behind them was the familiar black Maybach with the license plate number uncovered. Someone soon discovered that the license plate number belonged to Han Zhong, the only heir of the Linhai Han family of this generation, the president of Huayue.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation. People who usually pay attention to or don't pay attention to the entertainment industry were all attracted to it. It was because the Linhai Han family was too important and the homosexual relationship of the president of Huayue was shocking enough. The number of views and discussions of this post almost blew up the Weibo server.

What attracted the attention of the majority of netizens was the hot search term about Zuo Ran and Ke Xingyan. The reason was that Zuo Ran, who had disappeared before, suddenly jumped out and said that netizens had been deceived by Jiang Wu and that he was the victim of bullying. It was just that the financial backers behind Jiang Wu manipulated public opinion and put the blame on him, and also snatched his resources. Otherwise, how could he, an 18th-tier star without any works, get to where he is today by marketing his metaphysical personality?

Shortly after this Weibo post was published, Ke Xingyan liked it.

What followed were countless revelations, some true and some false, including those from Jiang Wu and Han Zhong, as well as Han Zhong himself. The most popular comment was a message from a netizen named "This is a small account."

This is a small account: An insider is here to reveal something to everyone. The financial backer behind JW is not an ordinary person. You can just guess the big picture. The other party has a history of arson and murder but was released without a warrant. It can be said that it is easy for him to manipulate public opinion and silence people for a little lover~

Jiang Wu pointed at the nickname and asked Yao Ping, "Can you find out the real identity of this person?"

"We checked. It's a virtual IP, a professional cyber-troll company. We've already sent people to check the other party's bank statements." Yao Ping was not surprised by his sharpness and continued, "This rumor is aimed at you on the surface, but it's actually directed at President Han."

Jiang Wu saw that the people behind the scenes were just laying the groundwork for slandering him. What they really wanted to expose was the fire at the New Star Art Museum. Once it became known that Han Zhong was the arsonist, Han Zhong and the Han family would face huge public criticism. By then, the people behind the scenes and the rest of Linhai would surely wait for an opportunity to make their move.

"Tell Director He that I will take another week off to apologize. I only want half the salary for this drama."

Jiang Wu said this to Zhang Xiaoyu and then walked out. At the same time, he said to Yao Ping who followed behind him, "Call Han Zhong."

"yes."

After exiting the airport gate, there was a wide landmark square. As soon as Jiang Wu walked out, he heard someone shouting loudly, "It's Jiang Wu! He's out!"

Following this shout, a bunch of reporters holding microphones immediately rushed over and bombarded him with questions.

"Mr. Jiang, may I ask what is your relationship with Mr. Han, the president of Huayue?"

"Do you have anything to say about the photos of you and the president of Huayue that appeared online?"

"It is said that the Qin family and the Han family have already had an alliance. Are you considered a third party?"

"Mr. Jiang——"

“…”

These reporters from newspapers and TV stations holding microphones were different from entertainment paparazzi. Zhang Xiaoyu was sweating profusely after being asked questions. He couldn't answer a single question and could only ask them to give way.

However, these reporters didn't listen at all. The noise here soon aroused the curiosity of passers-by. Some people recognized Jiang Wu and wanted to know if what was said on the Internet was true. Some people also wanted to see what the man who was having an affair with the president of Huayue looked like. In the blink of an eye, the three of them were surrounded.

Jiang Wu was not panicked. After all, those people seemed crowded, but in fact they could not get close to him at all, until Yao Ping beside him whispered, "President Han's phone number is not reachable."

He paused for a moment, and immediately realized that the last message between him and Han Zhong was an hour ago, in which Han Zhong reminded him not to forget to bring his newly bought down jacket. Even though it was almost time to board the flight, Han Zhong did not ask him if he had arrived at the airport as he had done before.

The crowd around them became more and more noisy, and suddenly a large shadow was cast overhead, as if something huge had covered the sky. Someone subconsciously looked up and then let out a cry of surprise -

"…It's dark?"

"It's going to rain. It's only four o'clock now. Why is it so dark? It's suddenly so cold. I guess it's going to rain."

“…”

A cool breeze blew across the square with a barely detectable chill. More people felt the chill, but no one cared. They all surrounded Jiang Wu, the big topic, as if they were possessed by a demon.

Jiang Wu was feeling uneasy, and suddenly, as if he sensed something, he raised his head abruptly and looked in a certain direction.

At this moment, his every move was watched by the crowd. After seeing his movements, everyone subconsciously looked over and then widened their eyes at the same time.

It was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon. The sky over Linhai City, which was originally clear, seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow. The bright warm sunlight was blocked. It seemed to be seven or eight o'clock. Even the stars and the moon were looming. The chill brought by the night wind penetrated into the bone marrow and scratched people like sharp hair.

What was even more bizarre was that the entire night sky seemed to be split in half by something. The sky to the east was cloudless with bright stars and the moon, but the sky to the west was covered with blood-red clouds, like a flame ignited by red blood, burning fiercely.

This bizarre and fantastic scene stunned everyone in the square. They could not help but stare at the "clearly divided" night sky. Some people took out their mobile phones to take pictures and sighed at this fantastic celestial phenomenon they had never seen before.

Except Jiang Wu.

He looked at the eerie red clouds in the western sky and his pupils shrank. Those were not clouds at all but evil spirits, the evil spirits that had formed over the past thousands of years from all the evil desires and thoughts that had been floating over Linhai.

And that direction is exactly Clear Water Bay.

He knew that something had happened to Han Zhong.
