Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 1044: Threatening Her

Chu Yin still wanted to ask Lin Zhiyi what was going on, but Lin Zhiyi pulled her aside.

In the next second, two men ran out from the building in front.

"Look behind, those two don’t seem like residents here."

This kind of old neighborhood is mostly inhabited by elderly people.

It’s rare to see young people, and even if there are, they wouldn’t be such steady men.

Judging by the tattoos on their necks and arms, they shouldn’t be professional bodyguards.

That means they’re likely hired thugs.

Lin Zhiyi said, "They headed in the direction that woman ran."

Chu Yin frowned and turned around, intending to follow.

Who knew, after walking just a few steps, her body was yanked back forcefully.

"Do you dare to rush in without even knowing who the opponent is?"

"Mr. Sang? I thought you went back?" Chu Yin looked at the newcomer in surprise.

Lin Zhiyi raised her hand and said, "I sent the message."

"Huh? Why?" Chu Yin asked, puzzled.

Lin Zhiyi explained, "I just feel that something’s not quite right with this, so I thought it might be wise to tell your boss."

Of course, another reason was to promote their relationship.

Chu Yin is good in all ways, except she likes to keep things bottled up.

The mess in her family, if she had just spoken out, everyone would understand, and it wouldn’t have developed into this.

Especially when she didn’t want to trouble Sang Li.

Lin Zhiyi was worried that after she finally avoided the Bai Family’s deadlock, she might get into trouble again because of other reasons.

Chu Yin rubbed her head awkwardly.

"Well, I... I was worried she’d get into trouble. I do cherish my life."

Sang Li let go of her and looked around: "This is her home, she may be sick but not stupid, she definitely knows this place better than outsiders."

"Sick? What’s going on?" Chu Yin asked.

Sang Li investigated the actress when he came.

"Qi Rong, a popular star five years ago, after playing a supporting role for some sponsor’s child, missed a major award, and gradually faded out of the industry. I found her medical records; a year after the movie was released, she attempted suicide three times because of depression, and her family brought her back home because they were worried about her."

"Depression? There’s quite a bit of depression in this circle, but she’s already sick, so why are those people still targeting her?" Chu Yin asked worriedly.

"That depends on what she knows."

Just after Sang Li spoke, Zhou Zhao arrived with someone.

Chu Yin exclaimed in surprise, "Qi Rong?"

Upon hearing her name, Qi Rong raised her eyes, her weary and confused gaze filled with vigilance.

Lin Zhiyi quickly said, "Don’t be afraid, we’re not here to cause trouble. In fact, we’re hoping you can help us."

Hearing this, Qi Rong’s gaze shifted to Chu Yin.

"Chu Yin."

"You know me?"

"Is there anyone who doesn’t recognize you nowadays? Big star."

Qi Rong’s tone wasn’t sickly, it even carried a hint of self-mockery.

Sang Li spoke slowly, "This isn’t the place to chat. Is there anywhere nearby where we can avoid those people?"

Qi Rong struggled a bit and then pointed to a snack shop.

"Follow me."

She led everyone through the snack shop to the backyard. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

It turns out that these old neighborhoods have shops in front, with residential areas attached behind.

The snack shop owner watched Qi Rong grow up and was very familiar with her, immediately asking his wife to prepare tea.

"You talk, no one will bother you."

"Thank you." Sang Li politely offered money.

After the landlady left, Zhou Zhao habitually stood at the courtyard door, keeping watch.

After sitting down, Qi Rong spoke up: "What do you need me for?"

Chu Yin got straight to the point: "You know Sister Meng, right? What on earth is the enmity between you two?"

"I don’t know her." Qi Rong turned her face away.

Sang Li said, "Sister Meng is currently working at my company with Chu Yin. Your name is on her resume."

Hearing this, Qi Rong smashed the cup in her hand.

"How dare she use me in her resume! Ridiculous! I ended up like this all because of her!"

"You just said you didn’t know her, but since you acknowledge it now, you might as well explain clearly." Sang Li was unwilling to waste words.

Qi Rong took a deep breath, her eyes dark.

"Back then, I was also pleased to have Sister Meng as my agent since her resources were famous in the industry. But later, I realized the company assigned her to me for a purpose."

"Company?" Chu Yin was puzzled, instinctively looking at Sang Li.

Did he have an ulterior motive in hiring Sister Meng too?

Sang Li explained, "The entertainment company is currently managed by a professional manager."

Chu Yin nodded, considering how busy Sang Li was himself.

Sang Li got straight to the point: "The company wanted to control you?"

Qi Rong looked at him and nodded.

"Sister Meng seemed nice to me, but in fact, she was always digging into my privacy. Once she had enough dirt on me, she started to play both sides, on one hand telling the company I was great, on the other, blackmailing me."

Chu Yin and Lin Zhiyi were slightly shocked.

They really didn’t expect Sister Meng would dare to deceive both sides.

Chu Yin curiously asked, "Can you share what dirt Sister Meng had on you?"

Qi Rong lowered her eyes, unwilling to continue speaking.

Chu Yin awkwardly said, "Sorry."

Qi Rong sarcastically said, "Forget it, it’s all in the past. What more could possibly happen to me now?"

"Then what happened today?" Lin Zhiyi asked.

Qi Rong shook her head.

"I haven’t seen her for years, today I... went to see my psychologist, and didn’t expect to be followed on my way back. I only realized it when I was nearly home, and bumped into you in my hurry. I don’t know who those people are, either."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi guessed something.

She took out a tin box she requested from the restaurant earlier, which contained Chu Yin’s phone.

"Chu Yin’s phone was installed with a covert spyware software by Sister Meng. It seems the message Xiao Zuo sent earlier was detected by her, so she urgently came to threaten Qi Rong."

Qi Rong furrowed her brows, looking at the people in front of her.

"So she’s found a new backer?"

Sang Li’s expression was serious, it seemed Sister Meng had other intentions in joining the entertainment company.

"Since you know her so well, tell us what she would do."

Qi Rong, however, stood up. She recognized Sang Li’s extraordinary demeanor, not an average person.

"Sir, I’ve told you everything I could. I have no obligation to help you. You must have investigated my situation, I really don’t want to get involved anymore."

She turned to leave: "I hope this is our last meeting, I’m leaving."

At this moment, Chu Yin called after her.

"Qi Rong, I’ve seen that movie, your acting was excellent."

Qi Rong paused, quickening her pace.

"Qi Rong, where do you plan to hide next time? Are you planning to hide from her for the rest of your life? I’ve watched the movie you acted in, you portrayed the role so well because you’re very much like your character, unwilling to give up, unwilling to let such a protagonist steal your limelight. Is that really the kind of person who wants to hide? Otherwise, why haven’t years of seeing psychologists cured you?"

Qi Rong stopped in her tracks, her teeth slightly gritted again.

"It’s none of your business."

"Qi Rong, I’ll wait for your news."
