Chapter 1#

Fifteen-year-old Li Meng returned home with his schoolbag on his back, only to be stunned as soon as he entered the door.

The living room was a mess. Jiang Qin pinned Jin Yan to the ground and punched him hard. Jin Yan immediately flared up, flipped over, kicked Jiang Qin against the wall, and cursed angrily, “Give you an inch and you take a mile, huh? I’ll beat the hell out of you!”

“Raising you is just paying off a debt,” Jiang Qin said. “Come up and sit.”

Li Meng nimbly climbed onto the large hotel bed and sat shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Qin, looking at the original German novel in his hand.

Li Meng and Jiang Qin had no blood relation whatsoever, yet they were surprisingly similar in various aspects: temper, personality, hobbies, looks, and so on. A more significant point was that Jiang Qin had an extremely high IQ, and Li Meng was not far behind, having skipped grades three times since starting school.

Wei Hong’s expression looked as if he had swallowed a watermelon whole.

“Next time, take your phone with you even when you go to the toilet, you useless adult.”

Li Meng easily defeated the top star of the entertainment industry in the living room, and leisurely went back to his room to wait for dinner.

After dinner, Li Meng took a shower. When he came out, the phone in the living room rang. It was an unknown number.

Chapter 3 - 1#

In the eyes of those around him, Jin Yan was the kind of man with a heavy air of the underworld about him.

This had a lot to do with his family background, and at the same time, he worked in the entertainment industry, which inevitably involved dealing with people from all walks of life. He mingled in the legitimate world, but also had one foot in the underworld. Every Chinese New Year, he would always transfer a sum of money to the accounts of certain specific individuals, while at the same time, others would transfer money to his account as tribute.

Seeing that he was still unmoved, the bar owner got a little anxious and signaled for the most beautiful boy to go up and light his cigarette. The boy was also straightforward, reaching out to take a Chunghwa cigarette, lighting it in his own mouth, and then shyly leaning over to ask, “Brother Jin, want one?”

Jin Yan was too lazy to pay attention to him, but suddenly glanced up and was instantly stunned.

Wenwen felt that this wealthy and powerful Brother Jin was really too strange.

After seeing that man in the corridor, he became silent, his expression so complex it was unfathomable, as if somewhat disappointed, somewhat startled, somewhat exasperated, and somewhat… fearful.

Yes, fearful.

It was hard for Wenwen to imagine that a man like Jin Yan would show such distinct fear. If he had to use a metaphor to describe it, it was like being caught doing something bad, feeling guilty on one hand and ashamed on the other, an indescribable anger born of embarrassment.

Only then did Kun Yang leave with peace of mind. Before leaving, he thought with a heart full of bitterness that a man like Brother Jin didn’t have it easy. He found a wife, but the wife ran away, and before running away, he even rushed to cuckold him. How miserable must he be to drink himself into such a state?

Wenwen didn’t dare to sleep all night, fearing that Jin Yan would wake up in the middle of the night and go crazy from the alcohol. However, Jin Yan slept very soundly. He woke up once in the early morning, stared blankly at him, and asked, “Where is Jiang Qin?”

Chapter 5 - 1#

Little classmate Li Xiaomeng’s running away from home was quite unique. He left a letter on Jiang Qin’s bedside table:

“Dad, Mom, I’ve decided to run away from home. This home has no warmth or love anymore! I won’t go to school, I won’t go to the Go club, I won’t go to the tennis team, I won’t go to the cake shop, I won’t go for ice cream, I won’t go to the park downstairs, I won’t go to the internet cafe by the school, I won’t go to the amusement park we went to last time… Don’t come looking for me, just let me fend for myself! From your heartbroken son, Li Meng.”

This was simply insane. You have to know that Li Meng was two and a half years old back then, having just learned to count from one to ninety-nine. Our poor little crown prince was pressed against the Go board to learn to eat since he was little. Milk paste dripped all over the board, and if he wasn’t careful, his little palms would be hit by Jiang Qin using a newspaper.

Li Meng had no idea that his parents were frantically looking for him, nor did he know that Director Duan and Uncle Wei Hong had already set off with the dog in the car, let alone that half the city’s hooligans had started mobilizing to find him.

He sat in the chess club, full of ambition, staring at a killing game where a checkmate dragon connected twenty-three pieces.

The flat-headed man didn’t pay much attention and casually moved a piece, trying to cut off Li Meng’s unformed dragon.

Unexpectedly, Li Meng’s expression didn’t change, he didn’t even lift an eyelash.

As soon as the flat-headed man’s hand left the chessboard, he picked up a piece from the bowl and said lightly, “Didn’t you say I couldn’t kill?”

The flat-headed man was stunned.

“Actually, I love to kill the most. But killing a little at a time is not satisfying. I like to fatten up the white pieces, and then swing the knife—”

Jin Yan roared, expressing that although his IQ wasn’t as high as his wife’s, he could still understand a mere Weibo post!

The original poster was a chess friend with quite a spirit for gossip. The content read: “Shocking sighting of the Korean Go world’s ‘Blood Hand’ Kim Dae-sung at Yongqing Road Chess Club! Kim, 7-dan, is playing against a little shota. Live broadcasting~ Haha~”

There were only about thirty reposts, but the blogger continued to broadcast with tireless reporting spirit:

That night, Jiang Qin went to sleep in the study.

Jin Yan coaxed the child to bed, then sat on the edge of the bed, sighing repeatedly, looking quite sentimental.

Li Meng, wearing his little floral pajamas, asked eagerly, “Will Jiang Qin really leave us?”

Jin Yan didn’t speak, and after a long while, he asked back, “Did he say he wouldn’t take you with him?”

At that time, there was no concept of homosexuality. Jin Yan only knew that some buddies would jerk each other off. He looked at Jiang Qin and felt greedy, so he half-coaxed and half-forced Jiang Qin to accompany him to “experience it.”

Jiang Qin in his teenage years always had a blind trust in him, so he nervously took off his clothes and let him touch him all over. As a result, Jin Yan was a fool and didn’t know how to be gentle. Halfway through, his fingernail scraped hard, hurting Jiang Qin so much that he almost passed out.

When Jin Yan woke up, it was already bright daylight.

His long-alert nerves made him sense someone beside him even when his consciousness was still hazy. He opened his eyes abruptly and sat up, immediately seeing Jiang Qin sitting by the bed, with a look of surprise on his face that he didn’t have time to hide.

“Did I scare you?” Jin Yan rubbed his face: “Sorry, I thought it was someone else…”

Jin Yan delivered the welcome speech on stage, while Duan Hanzhi simply pulled out a chair and sat in his seat. The hostess didn’t recognize the great Director Duan and asked timidly, “Could you please sit according to your name? This seat is…”

Duan Hanzhi suddenly raised his head, his beautiful and sharp eyes staring at her unblinkingly.

Hostess: “…”

“Since I’m sitting here now.”

“…”

When Jin Yan found Jiang Qin, he was leaning against the window sill in the smoking area, smoking a cigarette, with a boundless sea of brilliant lights behind him.

Jin Yan glanced at the Marlboro in his hand, silently took out a pack of Yunyan from his pocket, lit one in his mouth, and handed it over.

“You actually carry this.” Jiang Qin exchanged cigarettes with him, slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke, raised his chin towards the hall, and asked, “—How much did it cost to sign her?”

Jiang Qin took his hand off his shoulder and said indifferently, “You think everyone is like your family.”

That night, Jin Yan indeed got dead drunk—a large part of it was intentional. He knew that if he was unconscious from drinking, Jiang Qin wouldn’t leave him alone and go to a hotel, but would drive him home.

Jiang Qin didn’t trust drivers; this was his consistent habit.

Fang Yuan didn’t notice the weird thinking of little student Li Xiaomeng. He felt that the facial contours of this child were exactly like Jiang Qin’s when he was a child, especially the extremely pale eyes which were exactly the same as Jiang Qin’s, and he couldn’t help but feel a little affection.

Jiang Qin saw what Li Meng was thinking at a glance, and decisively patted him: “Why don’t you call him Uncle quickly?”

Jin Yan knew the terrain near Jiang Qin’s accounting firm like the back of his hand. He even knew which trees were planted on that road, let alone a mutton restaurant.

When Fang Yuan helped Jiang Qin out, they just reached the curb and were about to raise their hands to call a taxi when they saw a black Mercedes-Benz slowly stop in front of them. Jin Yan poked his head out of the car window and smiled: “Cousin went out drinking with Jiang Qin, why didn’t you call me?”

Jiang Qin didn’t come home for two consecutive weeks, didn’t answer calls, and didn’t reply to messages.

Jin Yan was full of anger, and in the company, he was also irritable, scolding people severely at every turn. One day, a young male model messed up two sets of shots, which happened to be discovered by Jin Yan during his inspection, and he scolded the person to tears on the spot.

This matter could only be blamed on him for not informing Kun Yang about Fang Yuan in time. As a result, Kun Yang’s two straightforward and reckless subordinates embarrassed themselves in front of his brother-in-law.

“You really can’t blame me for this, Brother Jin. It’s said that your wife was walking into the hotel with that man. In such a dangerous and urgent situation, could they not take action? Besides taking action, was there any other way to stop your wife from cheating? Even if they wanted to pretend to be police checking the room in such a big hotel, it wouldn’t be easy. Oh right, fortunately they didn’t pretend to be police. That adulterer might be in this line of work. If fake police met real police, wouldn’t it be even more hilarious…”

The personalities of Jiang Qin and Jin Yan were vastly different. Fundamentally speaking, the key word for Jiang Qin was “caution.” He would plan before acting and would never make a move easily unless he was 99% sure. Once he discovered that something he had poured a lot of effort into was exposed or even threatened his own initiative, he would immediately give up everything and withdraw resolutely without any hesitation.

Jin Yan dabbed his hand with a cotton swab soaked in nitric acid solution and gave it to the lab technician to check for gunpowder residue. He didn’t speak during the few minutes of waiting, until the other party nodded at him to indicate it was fine, then he stood up and stretched his arms.

“Your Brother Jiang,” Jin Yan said casually, “has become more and more soft-hearted and gullible in recent years. He always guards against me like a thief, as if I were some ruthless person.”

It wasn’t until the colleagues said goodbye one after another that Jiang Qin came out of the study and saw them off with Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan glanced at his face sideways and saw that his expression was very appropriate, with a slight coldness between his eyebrows, but it was difficult to see his emotions.

Fang Yuan was secretly surprised. He originally thought he could grasp Jiang Qin’s emotions well, and any reaction from the other party was within his expectations. But now he found that when Jiang Qin became cold, he actually felt very anxious.

The confidant said tremblingly: “That policeman is Brother Jiang’s biological cousin after all, maybe they don’t have so many scruples when getting along…”

“Shut the fuck up!”

Jin Yan hated it so much that he almost bled. He had been in the underworld for a long time and had seen all kinds of dark and dirty things. He knew that there was no lower limit when people were nasty, and blood relations and family affection were simply nothing. Even incest between men and women could make people dumbfounded, let alone cousins whose DNA branched out who knows how far?

“Hey, you’re here this early too?” Jin Yan saw Jiang Qin and was quite surprised. “I was planning to wait for you to come at noon and go eat first. But this is good too; the little demon Li Xiaomeng has been crying, screaming, and rolling around wanting to find you since morning.”

Li Xiaomeng reservedly stuck out his tail and wagged it.

“Since you’re here, let’s go in. Let’s go ride that pirate ship first.” Jin Yan took the baseball cap off Li Meng’s head and casually put it on Jiang Qin.

When Jin Yan received Jiang Qin’s call, his voice sounded quite surprised:

“Hello, what did you say? The signal here isn’t very good. I’m at the wrap party on set, handing out cash to the crew one by one from a box… What did you say? What homepage?”

Jiang Qin’s voice changed: “You don’t know about this?”

“Please, wifey, I have so many things to do when I open my computer, where would I find the time to look at that messy stuff… Don’t panic, don’t panic, tell me which website it is, I’ll go take a look right now.”

事情的发展完全出乎蒋衾的意料。

第二天他在家里没上班,早上出去晨练的时候,看见公园门口报摊上新鲜出炉的八卦娱乐版,头条赫然是《独家揭秘：时星娱乐东家十年同性婚姻,携子出游亲密照曝光！》。

蒋衾一口气瞬间没上来，拿过报纸一看,昨天网站上登的那张雨中拥抱过水洼照赫然入目,底下是蒋衾昨天从公司出来，独自一人心烦意乱去开车的偷拍照。

蒋衾下意识想把报摊上所有报纸都买下来,所幸他还留着几分理智,放下报纸掉头走人。

靳炎已经出门了,蒋衾回家便扑了个空，只有黎小檬对着镜子慢吞吞的刷牙，见了他自觉的把尾巴伸出来摇了摇。

蒋衾口气听起来还是很稳的：“靳炎上班去了？”

“不知道,不过靳炎同志说今天有好几个会要开。你可以开那辆莲花送我上学吗？”

“……黎小檬，把你那名车接送上学的毛病改一改！”

黎小檬哼了一声，悻悻出去挤公交。

蒋衾在书房里坐了一会儿，连抽三四根烟后才冷静下来，上网用靳炎的名字当关键词搜新闻。然而事情再次出乎他的意料，原本以为铺天盖地的八卦绯闻竟然半点不见，昨天那个网站的首页已经换了八卦，仿佛什么都没有发生过一般。

这年头网络永远比纸媒快一步，没道理网络压下去了，报纸却登得那么详细。蒋衾毕竟不在娱乐圈里混，迟疑再三想不出答案来，只能去打靳炎的手机。

然而靳炎手机已经关了，也不知道是真的在开会还是怎么回事。他打电话去时星娱乐，电话从靳炎的办公室直播号码自动转接到秘书处，赵雪接了。

“喂，这里是时星娱乐总裁办公室秘书处赵雪，请问您是……”

“我是蒋衾。帮我接通靳炎。”

赵雪一愣，抬头只见靳炎站在办公室门口，用口型说出“说我不在”几个字。

“靳总……他……不在……”

“他在哪里？”

赵雪看看靳炎，根据口型说：“靳总在开会，您有什么需要转达的吗？”

“没有，谢谢。”

蒋衾涵养再好，说到最后一个字的时候都带出了点焦躁和不耐烦。赵雪刚挂电话，就只见靳炎一溜烟冲进办公室，乒呤哐啷提着笔记本、平板电脑、手机、钥匙、钱包和外套，一边大步流星的走向电梯一边说：“蒋衾来就说我去片场了！手机没电关机了！公司有事问蒋衾，别来找我！”

“靳总您……”

“他要是问我这几天有没有见报社的人，一概说没有！”电梯门正要关上，突然靳炎探出头来大声道：“跟他说公司食堂今天中午有他喜欢吃的奶油虾，吃了饭再走！”

赵雪根本来不及说什么，电梯门叮的一声合上了。

果不其然半小时后，电梯门再次打开，白色休闲衬衣浅色牛仔裤、手里拎着车钥匙的蒋衾走了出来。

蒋衾很少来公司，但是每次来都注定要引发剧烈的震荡。上次他来时“靳总惨遭绿帽被抛弃”的戏码传遍公司，秘书处甚至偷偷拍了方源的照片，放在内部论坛上跟靳炎作对比；这次来时大家都没有准备，本来看老板不在就准备摸鱼的员工们都吓了一跳，有几个甚至连话都不会说了，见到蒋衾就哆嗦。

所幸蒋衾没注意他们，径直走到靳炎办公室前，伸手就去开门。

办公室一副被暴风席卷而过的样子，可见靳炎走的时候有多匆忙，几份文件被撞散了，纸张飘得一地都是。

蒋衾只看了一眼，回头问：“他人呢？”

赵雪努力让自己的声音听起来平静而专业：“靳总去片场了。”

“哪个片场？”

“……就是那个新杀青的，最近宣传逼得很紧，所以……”

“段寒之导演的那个？”

“是，是的蒋先生。”

蒋衾琥珀色的眼睛一眨不眨盯着她，这么浅淡的瞳仁，看人时甚至会产生一种无机质的错觉。几秒后他拿出手机，拨了个号码。

赵雪一开始还不知道他这是打给谁，直到听见他说：“喂，寒之，靳炎去你的片场了吗？”

赵雪的汗瞬间就下来了。

几秒钟后他挂上电话，问：“靳炎去哪里了？”

赵雪哽了半晌：“……我不知道。”

蒋衾点点头，走进靳炎的办公室。关门前他突然回过头问：“靳炎最近有没有跟报社的人见过面？”

赵雪立刻道：“没有！”

蒋衾一言不发的盯着她看了几秒，缓缓的道：“赵小姐，靳炎有可能因为你替他说谎而给你发奖金，而我却会因为被欺骗而炒你鱿鱼……再告诉我一遍，靳炎最近有没有跟报社的人见过面？”

镜片后他的眼睛仿佛冰冷的琉璃一样，赵雪简直被压得说不出话，半晌才承认：“我不知道。”

蒋衾点点头，关上了办公室的门。

靳炎办公室有一扇窗跟秘书处相通，再有一面墙是玻璃，从特定的位置可以看见走廊。蒋衾就坐在那个位置的沙发上，找了个平板电脑出来看。无数员工纷纷找借口上到顶楼来，装作步伐匆匆的经过走廊，趁机偷觑他一眼。

蒋衾肯定有所察觉。头两个小时他没有在意，再后来上来看的人太多了，赵雪只见他突然起身走到靳炎的大办公桌后，坐下不动了。

他的坐姿非常标准和舒展，修长的腿互相交叠，脊背笔直而双肩水平，右手中指快速在平板电脑上划动着，左手漫不经心揉按着太阳穴。那种略带休闲感的棉质白衬衣特别衬他，仿佛有种特别压人的气质，哪怕坐在一群西装革履的精英中，他也是存在感最强烈的那个。

赵雪知道这个男人是时星娱乐财务系统的创造者和维护者，后来公司发展起来，他便离开了时星。然而财务部的人看了早年的帐，都说做得滴水不漏，简直干净得如同清水，毫无任何破绽。

有些人曾经猜测靳炎是因为他手上的股份，加上早年一些财务方面的把柄，才无法跟他分手。然而熟悉靳炎的人都知道，他是真正爱着这个人。

有这个人时刻站在幕后，靳炎才能牢牢把握住公司大权。这个人离开了，靳炎的事业、家庭、感情和前途，就全都危险了。

蒋衾一直在办公室里坐到中午，靳炎发了个短信来秘书处：“他走了没有？”

赵雪回复：“还没有。”

“他吃了吗？”

“也没有。”

“给他订份饭。”

赵雪刚要回复，电梯门打开了，外卖小哥怯生生问：“有一位姓蒋的先生订了海鲜套餐……”

蒋衾开门出来付了款，拎着袋子进去吃饭，临关门前还没忘记吩咐一句：“请茶水间阿姨帮我弄杯咖啡，双倍奶油。”

叮的一声靳炎短信又来了：“订了吗？”

……没有你人家也没亏待自己……赵雪僵硬的拿着手机，简直什么都不想说了。

靳炎一直到下午实在躲不过去了，才磨磨蹭蹭的回到办公室。

他把外套搭在胳膊上，领带松松垮垮挂在脖子上，包里东一簇西一簇的塞着文件，仿佛真的在外边忙了一天很累的样子，进门惊讶的问：“蒋衾你来了？怎么不打声招呼？”紧接着回头痛骂秘书处：“一个个都拿钱不干事！人来了都不知道给我打个电话！有没有点眼色，嗯？！”

蒋衾静静等他骂完了，才伸手丢给他一份报纸。

靳炎拿起来一看，叹了口气道：“真他娘的反了天了，我这就打电话给他们老总。”

蒋衾冷冷道：“我找了你一天。”

“哎呀你又不肯来管公司，我都忙得脚打后脑勺了，手机偶尔没电也不能怪我啊。实在不行你明天就跟我来公司上班，这样，你坐总裁办公室，我给你当贴身小蜜怎么样？”

蒋衾眼底浮现出一点笑意，很快又板起脸：“去打电话！”

这时候打电话其实已经晚了，像这样的娱乐早报，一旦公布就很难堵住它的传播，除非在印刷机器开动前就把样刊拿下来。靳炎今天失踪了一天，等到晚上的时候报纸都完全卖光了，还想堵住消息，已经完全不可能了。

靳炎便装模作样把报社老总臭骂一顿，逼着对方发誓明天再不登相关报道，又当着蒋衾的面打电话给几家报纸，确定不再有人敢登他们的消息了，才唉声叹气的挂了电话。

“你都不知道啊，媳妇，我今天出门受到的欢迎可热烈了，一个个都跟我打听你呢。以前那些小演员啊，小嫩模啊，见了我就往上扑，今天见了我都往后躲。”靳炎摇晃着脑袋说：“可怜我现在完全贬值了，结果还被你嫌弃。”

The teahouse was located in a relatively remote area, and there were few people on the street late at night. Jiang Qin slammed the accelerator to the floor, looked up, and saw two Hondas driven by Cambodians chasing closely in the rearview mirror.

Jin Yan said angrily, “Fuck that kid Ji Mie! He’s completely crazy!”

Jiang Qin turned the steering wheel sharply: “What did you do in H City during the few days I was away?”

Jiang Qin had always been a person of contradictory character. When others couldn’t hold up, he could shoulder everything; but when someone was standing in front, he would immediately retreat with a clear conscience.

For people he trusted—like Jin Yan, even if countless pieces of evidence showed he was lying, as long as Jin Yan didn’t admit it himself, Jiang Qin could turn a blind eye. But for people he didn’t trust, even the slightest hint, he could follow the vine to pull out all the truth.

When it rains, it pours. Fate always reveals its hideous face when you are most caught off guard.

Jiang Qin went downstairs with a heavy heart, passed his own car in the parking lot, and walked for quite a while before suddenly realizing he had walked past it. Just as he turned around, his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Guan Feng:

“News received two minutes ago: the police will charge Jin Yan with suspicion of threatening and harming others, also involving large-scale fraud and gambling. Fang Yuan has a key witness in his hands who has been secretly hidden before. Many people in the Public Security Department only just learned about this.”

Jiang Qin walked out of the courthouse and hailed a taxi from the street: “To the Municipal Public Security Bureau.”

It was about a half-hour journey from the courthouse to the municipal bureau. On the way, Jiang Qin made a phone call to the company and asked: “Did Zhao Xue from the secretary’s office come to work today?”

“No, President Jiang, she didn’t ask for leave either. The secretary’s office couldn’t reach her on her mobile phone today. Do you have any instructions?”

The first thing Jin Yan discovered when he came out of the courtroom was that Jiang Qin was missing.

He called Jiang Qin several times but no one answered, then quickly called Li Xiaomeng. Tashi answered, saying: “Li Meng is playing chess with the little sheep. He said he knows you’ll be back and we’ll have dinner together at home tonight.”

In his panic, Jin Yan didn’t notice where Li Meng went to play chess and immediately asked: “Did Jiang Qin call just now?”

The moment Jin Yan saw Jiang Qin, his eyes turned red.

The director patted his shoulder sympathetically and went out, closing the door. The lawyer was a bit embarrassed and didn’t dare to look at Jin Yan’s face, so he pretended to be deeply interested in the sparrows fighting on the tree branches outside the window.

Jiang Qin was a bit thin, his face pale but gentle. His hair had grown a little longer, and he was wearing a gray cotton t-shirt. His dislocated forearm hadn’t healed well and still looked a bit unnatural.

Jiang Qin didn’t return to his cell at all, but met Captain Wang directly in the visiting room.

This was originally against the rules, but Jiang Qin’s identity was special, and this wasn’t the only thing that broke the rules. Captain Wang even took out the Zhonghua cigarettes that Jin Yan had stuffed him with: “—Want one?”

Jiang Qin didn’t take it, looked at him and asked: “I’ve finished confessing what I need to confess. What else do you want to ask?”

For the first time in her life, Zhao Xue learned that she was an illegitimate child.

She vaguely remembered that when she was a child, Zhao Chengqiang was often not at home. From her parents’ words, she guessed that she had older brothers and sisters living in other places. It wasn’t until she grew up that she learned that the one in the other place was Zhao Chengqiang’s legal wife, his first wife.

Yao Shuwen was Zhao Chengqiang’s lawful wife.

This woman ran her own company in the United States. Though she was close to fifty, she had taken excellent care of herself and carried herself with refined poise. She wore a beige suit with a pearl brooch that was understated yet luxurious.

She must have been a beauty when she was young—one could still see traces of gentle elegance in her features. When Zhao Chengqiang was carrying on with Zhao Xue’s mother, he was extremely cold toward his own family. Yao Shuwen raised the child alone, enduring hardship in China until Zhao Chengqiang was killed. She then immediately emigrated to the United States with her assets.

Everything proceeded extremely smoothly. The very next day, Yao Shuwen went with Jin Yan to the police station to give her statement. Captain Wang’s mouth practically fell open at the time—what kind of thunderous, dog-blood melodrama is this? Even Zhi Yin magazine couldn’t come up with a plot like this. With a bit of editing, it could probably be sold to Sohu News for money!

Yao Shuwen carried herself with exceptional poise. Elegant in bearing and clear-spoken, she showed no fear at all when facing a room full of criminal investigators. Calmly, she said:

That evening, the entertainment newspapers reported on the manslaughter case with the headline “Shi Xing Entertainment CEO Jiang Qin Accused of Murdering Former Major Shareholder! The Truth Revealed After Fourteen Years!” The bold black characters on the front page were extremely eye-catching.

The newspaper reporter had even miraculously obtained the confidential court records. Although only a part was made public, the twists and turns of the process and the bizarre plot could be glimpsed from just a few short paragraphs.

Jiang Qin had known for a very long time that there were certain phrases that were taboo to Jin Yan—words that, once spoken, would lead to all kinds of irreparable consequences.

For example: “Have you put on weight lately?”

Jin Yan would immediately sprint to the gym and work out nonstop for three days and three nights. During that time, he would tearfully declare that he was being嫌弃, that his wife was about to cheat on him, sobbing while lifting dumbbells—until Jiang Qin personally went to the gym to drag him back home.

After smashing the red wine, Jiang Qin left Jin Yan to awkwardly clean up the living room while he angrily went to sleep.

As a result, in the middle of the night, Jin Yan groped his way into bed, pinned him down, and ate him many times.

For a male animal like CEO Jin, who was in his prime, had a huge appetite, and had been starved for almost a year, the most unbearable thing was being given a bite and then suddenly having the food taken away. Jiang Qin understood this himself, so he didn’t kick Jin Yan out of bed immediately after waking up. However, when he groggily heard Jin Yan muttering, “I want to kiss here too…” he suddenly jolted awake: “What did you say?”

Jiang Qin ate and drank well at Guan Feng’s house, gaining three pounds of flesh. He was extremely conflicted when looking in the mirror, feeling that the lines of his arms seemed to have blurred again. He wondered if he should sign up for outdoor rock climbing again.

The family of three had gone climbing years ago. Li Meng, that creature with a developed brain but weak limbs, cried and came down to eat cookies before climbing for five minutes. Jin Yan climbed halfway, complaining “this activity is so boring” while nimbly reaching the top using both hands and feet. As for Jiang Qin, just as he was about to reach the top, his foot slipped and he fell. He hung expressionlessly from the rope, swinging for a long time before being rescued by the staff.

If one were to describe Li Meng, 3-dan, in words, “exceptional chess talent” would be sufficient.

He learned Go at the age of two, could play independently at six, started reviewing games at nine, and by thirteen, he had no rivals in the chess clubs near his neighborhood. City H has a strong Go culture, and he accumulated rich on-the-spot experience through a large number of games. Moreover, he has a photographic memory, storing a huge number of game records in his brain, and often plays miraculous moves.

Jiang Qin’s nature is like this: when all the heavy responsibilities are on him, and everyone would be doomed without him, he can stand up and shoulder all the problems, calm, reliable, and resolute; but once Jin Yan appears, his deep-seated “housewife” instinct immediately kicks in, and he shamefully shrinks back.

Returning to the accounting firm is definitely out of the question—they wouldn’t dare hire him, a dignified major shareholder of the entertainment industry; he won’t go to Shi Xing Entertainment either—he has enjoyed enough of the fun of dragging department managers over for lectures, and now feels it’s better to be “the man behind the scenes.”

As soon as Fang Yuan fell ill, Jiang Qin immediately became restless.

For someone like Jiang Qin, who had superior conditions in his youth, a smooth family life in adulthood, and never actively made things difficult for others, although he could be ruthless to Fang Yuan at critical moments, he would still feel a subtle regret afterwards.

When he was still in the detention center, he had asked his lawyer and was relieved to hear that Fang Yuan had been transferred back to City S without receiving any administrative punishment. Afterwards, he also inquired through Guan Feng and heard that Fang Yuan had been under investigation for a period of time, but the Fang family had deep roots in the Public Security Department and was not overly embarrassed.

Facts have proven that any form of communication with Guan Feng will turn into a one-way gossip show, and you will always be the one providing the amusement.

The Great Lord of Namek, Guan X (accompanied by the internationally renowned director Duan XX), frantically forced Li Meng to provide amusement, and then expressed the following opinions respectively:

“How unfortunate, Jiang Meng! From now on, you’ve changed from the rightful little crown prince to a burden brought by the queen’s remarriage! What will you do if Jin Yan doesn’t want you anymore!”

Li Meng got off the plane, hailed a taxi, and went straight to his grandparents’ house. Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were so happy to see their golden grandson that their mouths were crooked from smiling. They kept giving him candy, and Father Jiang even took him around to visit neighbors, wishing he could announce Li Meng’s glorious deed of being the runner-up in the Huashuo Cup to the whole world.
