Wang Jing called Xiyuan to meet up with the both of them at the dance studio.
When Xiyuan entered the dance studio, his hair was extremely messy and his eyes were bloodshot. He was obviously having a very difficult time too.
Jiang Yuning looked up at the young boy as she sat down on the piano stool.
It was really difficult for Jiang Yuning to imagine that such a young boy, who was only in his early twenties would actually have the courage to hire a hitman.
“We know everything already,” Wang Jing broke the silence as she leaned against the piano. “Xiyuan, it is now your turn to play your part and let us know your side of the story. Please tell us the truth so that we can find out who the mastermind behind this matter is. After that, those who are at fault should surrender themselves and confess to their own crimes respectively. I believe that Mingchen has already spoken to you and I told you before that there are no gray areas when it comes to certain matters.”
Xiyuan was no longer as resentful as he was last night. At this time, he suddenly squatted down and he started crying as he covered his face with his arm.
“You did not leave and you did not run away even though you know that Mingchen already knows the truth. This means that you are willing to bear the consequences of your actions, right?”
“I am really sorry…” Xiyuan tearfully replied as he apologized to Jiang Yuning and Wang Jing. “I am really very sorry…”
Then, Xiyuan started telling Jiang Yuning and Wang Jing the entire story. He started explaining how he had become a target and was threatened by Young Master Han since quite some time ago.
“I thought about it throughout the entire night and I suddenly realized that the only reason why I could be threatened and coerced by others, was because of my own bad conduct. If people did not have anything to use against me, then they would not be able to threaten me at all. Moreover, I also know that these things would always haunt a person in the entertainment industry sooner or later. It is a time bomb that is waiting to go off. Instead of worrying about it every day, I would rather be frank and admit the truth once and for all…”
“I finally confessed to all of my wrongdoings and I suddenly feel so relieved.”
At this time, Wang Jing glanced at Jiang Yuning with a cold expression on her face. “It seems as though the Lu family and you are the ones causing trouble to my boys. Now, one of your enemies is even threatening one of my team members. I hope that the Lu family can take the initiative to resolve this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, I do not have that many other Xiyuans to sacrifice.”
Jiang Yuning was a little caught off guard but she did not vent her anger or frustrations at Wang Jing. Instead, she simply asked Xiyuan, “Can you gain or fix anything by crying? Since you have the courage to hire a hitman, then what is the point of crying now?”
Jiang Yuning let Young Master Han go initially because she felt that he was just a young boy who was simply acting out because he was not getting what he wanted.
However, who would have expected him to be so evil and malicious?
Therefore, Jiang Yuning quickly sent a text message to inform Lu Jingzhi about this matter.
After receiving the text message, Lu Jingzhi replied immediately, “You will handle the matter involving the boy group and I will handle Young Master Han. I will give everyone a reasonable explanation tonight.”
“Okay, husband,” Jiang Yuning replied.
“The Lu family will deal with Young Master Han in the most appropriate manner. We will discuss what we should do about the team now. Sister Jing, as you said, there are no gray areas on this matter but in my heart, Xiyuan is not an entirely bad or vicious person. This is because he is remorseful and he is willing to apologize and bear the consequences of his own actions. Therefore, I do not want to give him a death sentence. Moreover, I do not have a say in this matter but I think that it is entirely up to Mingchen and Jingqi whether they want to forgive Xiyuan or not.”
“I will definitely stand up and I will confess my crimes to all of my fans. I will definitely surrender but can I request that you do not force me to do so now? I really hope that you can give me the opportunity to finish performing at the music concert together with all of my teammates. Can I do that?” Xiyuan asked the both of them in a sincere manner. “I really do not want our team members to be affected and I really do not want to influence our performance at the music concert. Moreover, I said some really mean and unfair things to Jingqi last night. I know that his whole world is already very dark and everyone is already reprimanding him and insulting him by calling him a retard. However, I know that Jingqi is not mentally retarded at all. I said a lot of harsh words to him and I really want to make it up to him for hiring a hitman to hurt him.”
Wang Jing felt that Xiyuan’s request was very reasonable. Therefore, she turned around to look at Jiang Yuning instead.
Jiang Yuning could tell that Wang Jing was staring at her. At this time, Jiang Yuning shrugged as she smiled and said, “Why are you looking at me? This is your team. You should be making the decisions.”
“I already lost Xiyuan because of you.”
“Didn’t I give you another good artiste in return? Furthermore, I can assure you that you will not lose Xiyuan,” Jiang Yuning replied immediately.
Wang Jing stared at Jiang Yuning for a few seconds before she nodded. “Okay, then you can leave this matter to me. You can go back and join the crew. However, you will have to update me on that scumbag. I want to know what happens to him.”
“Alright then, I will definitely update you on the situation,” Jiang Yuning assured Wang Jing.
“So, can I ask which of the Lu family member will be in charge of dealing with Young Master Han?”
“Lu Jingzhi. Is there a problem?” Jiang Yuning asked casually.
When Wang Jing heard those words, she raised her brows before replying, “No problem at all.”
The heir of the Lu family will be dealing with this matter on his own. What could go wrong then?
“Should I guess the relationship between the both of you?” Wang Jing could not help but asked one more question. Jiang Yuning and the Lu family seemed to be so closely related. They spend so much time, money, and effort on one another. Therefore, it was obvious that the both of them definitely had a relationship with one another.
“There is nothing to guess. The both of us are very good friends and the friendship between our family started even way before our grandfather’s generation. Alright then, if there is nothing else, I have to go back and join the crew already. Please send me a text message if anything unexpected crops up,” Jiang Yuning replied.
Even though Jiang Yuning was very calm when she replied, Wang Jing did not believe that things were that simple between Jiang Yuning and the Lu family.
Of course, this was all a woman’s sixth sense.
…
Jiang Yuning got ready to return to join the crew of <Yan Huasu> at half-past two in the afternoon.
The young paparazzo served some tea and food to Jiang Yuning as they sat in the car. “Sister Yuning, you should rest and take a nap after eating. It will already be night time by the time we arrived at the filming location. After that, you will have to begin filming your night scene immediately.”
“I can’t sleep because I am feeling very excited right now.” This was because Jiang Yuning really wanted to know how Lu Jingzhi would be dealing with that scumbag.
“Sister Yuning, in fact you didn’t have to ask for leave to come back to Luo City…”
“You are wrong. I would have to show up at Luo City no matter what it is because Wang Jing is a very thoughtful person. If she cannot see my attitude and if she feels as though I am not concerned or invested in this matter at all, she will definitely have a bad impression of Jingqi. The only reason why she is still positive and confident about Jingqi right now is because she knows my attitude and I already gave her my assurance that nothing would happen to Xiyuan. Even if Xiyuan is unable to stay in the team, Wang Jing would already be comforted by the fact that nothing would happen to the other boys under her management,” Jiang Yuning explained in a serious manner.
“There are so many twists and turns?”
“Yes, there are a lot of twists and turns that you would not know about!”
“Pfft…” the young paparazzo spit out his water as he looked at Jiang Yuning. “Sister Yuning, please do not ruin my reputation. I still want to look for a girlfriend in future.”
Jiang Yuning could not help but laugh out loud at this time. “I was just kidding. I was feeling so stressed the entire day, I feel as though my jaw is going to break.”
“Why don’t I tell you a joke then?”
“No, no, no. Please…just let me off. I am going to close my eyes and take a short nap. Please wake me up when we arrive at the filming location. If you feel lonely, I have something that you can talk to while I am asleep…” After that, Jiang Yuning placed her thermos under the young paparazzo’s arm before closing her eyes.
“Are my jokes really that unpleasant?”
Did the young paparazzo really need everything to be spelled out for him?
Jiang Yuning closed her eyes as she smiled because she was really grateful to have someone like the young paparazzo by her side.
…
It was already six-thirty in the evening.
Lu Jingzhi did not leave the office immediately after he was done with work but he waited in the parking lot until a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue suit suddenly appeared in front of him.
