Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

Guan Yinshan and his team took everyone to the police station to take detailed statements.

Bo Bing's mission was over, and Alpha interrupted Bo Bing's other skills, only activating [Verbal Skills]. The aftereffects of the alcohol in his stomach were churning up, and his head was incredibly dizzy. He was currently sitting on an iron chair, wrapped in an oversized leather jacket, leaning limply against Yin Su's chest, waiting.

The rain started to fall again late at night.

When he walked in, even Wu Huan showed sympathy on his face—who would be summoned by Captain Guan to give a statement three times in just one week?

—The first time they encountered hostage-takers, the second time was because of the drinking companions Zhang Baoshan had called, and the third time they encountered Leopard at the start.

"Name."

"Bo Bing," Bo Bing pressed her temples hard, trying to stay awake, "I'm telling you, Captain Guan, we're all your regular customers, can't you skip these old, tired procedures?"

"Watch your words. Answer only what I ask."

Guan Yinshan remained unyielding, stating, "Gender."

Bo Bing was genuinely annoyed and casually retorted, "Woman!"

"Bo Bing! Speak properly!"

“Doesn’t Captain Guan know this?” Bo Bing muttered under her breath, “The world is going to the dogs… I can’t believe what kind of attitude the cops have towards the masses these days… Be careful, or I might file a complaint against you in the mailbox outside the gate.”

Guan Yinshan's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Wu Huan, who was sitting next to him, finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. He hadn't seen Captain Guan get his comeuppance very often.

After asking through the whole process, Bo Bing was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, only to see the guy opposite her raise his head again.

"You're really unlucky."

Guan Yinshan watched as he rubbed his head furiously, making his head look like it could hold a flock of chickens. Only then did he remember that this guy, like the other timid and awkward young men, was still a student who hadn't graduated. Even Wu Huan was older than him, but he had always been mature and slick, unlike a young man.

He softened a little, picked up the thermos, stood up, and refilled the tea in the disposable paper cup for him. "I know it's never good when I see you now."

“Public servants shouldn’t make sarcastic remarks about the people, Captain Guan. I’m already vulnerable enough.”

Bo Bing leaned back in his chair, yawned, and looked exhausted. "Do you think I'd be happy to get involved in this kind of nonsense?"

"I can't see where you're vulnerable."

Guan Yinshan snorted coldly, "I thought Boss Bo was really into it. A few days ago, he called a bunch of waiters into the room to take a look, and now he's playing probability theory with Leopard. He already sent a message, couldn't he have waited for us to arrive? You dare to mess with people like Leopard."

"Let me clarify something: the former is a group that aims to create a more serious atmosphere for business meetings. Honestly, please don't make it sound like we're participating in a group of people having fun."

Bo Bing, of course, wouldn't say that she was forced to take on the task because of the system's mission. She just closed her eyes and said, "The latter is my classmate and good brother. I was more worried about them being with a bunch of drug addicts. I just went over to calm them down. How did I provoke them? Those people don't know what's going on. They just waited there and insisted that Caiyun was giving them instructions—listen to that, they're determined to suck my blood."

Aren't you afraid of losing control?

Guan Yinshan refuted this.

“When the people are in trouble, of course we need a righteous person like Captain Guan to step in,” Bo Bing said, resting his head on his hand. “Besides, I am a good citizen with an overflowing conscience.”

Guan Yinshan was almost defeated by this guy's shamelessness.

"So you do know about conscience."

"What are you talking about? Everyone has this, I have a perfectly good conscience."

Guan Yinshan thought it was ridiculous to argue with a drunkard who was out of his mind. The young man's face was flushed from the alcohol, his eyes were unfocused, and the way he kept shoving things onto the table didn't seem fake. Even though they were in a karaoke room, the guy was still incredibly agile... He immediately decided to get the guy out of there first and ask him some other questions when he was more sober.

—So this guy is the type who takes a slow but strong hit when drunk?

After the thin ice came Yin Su.

Yin Su entered the room and consciously used a wet wipe to remove his previous disguise, honestly revealing his identity. Guan Yinshan and Wu Huan exchanged a glance, noticing the shock in each other's eyes.

Unexpectedly, this also involved Yin Su, a famous actor. Even though they knew that he had visited Bo Bing, wasn't he just attending a red carpet event in H City? How did he suddenly appear in X City? The famous three-time Golden Horse Award winner actually has a close relationship with Bo Bing and has even disguised himself to get involved in this matter. From any perspective, both of them became more cautious.

However, Yin Su was surprisingly easy to talk to, answering all questions during the process, and unlike Bo Bing, he wasn't nonsensical. It's no wonder he's a big star with excellent upbringing. There were no difficulties as expected, which relieved both of them.

Guan Yinshan was somewhat bothered that the other person's gaze kept drifting towards his face, as if he were being sized up.

"Mr. Yin, is there anything on my face?"

The other person didn't get angry at being called out; she just smiled slightly, and the otherwise plain room seemed to transform into a spotlighted entertainment venue. Wu Huan thought that if any of the other women in his group were here, they would probably be captivated by his charm, and of course, he was no exception.

“Excuse me, Captain Guan, you can also think of it as an occupational hazard,” Yin Su tapped the table with his finger. “Because of my job, I tend to take a second look at people who stand out; just like you would be wary if you saw a shifty-eyed person on the street.”

Guan Yinshan felt that something was different, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

“You have good taste,” Wu Huan said with a smile. “There were a lot of guys chasing after our Captain Guan before. When you asked them, they all just said that Captain Guan was very handsome.”

Yin Su lowered his gaze, recalling Bo Bing's joking remark about "offering herself in return."

—There was a subtle jealousy about this clueless guy.

As the questions continued to be asked about the details, the conversation naturally turned to Bo Bing.

"Are you and Bo Bing very close? Why would you rashly participate in the game with the leopard?"

Guan Yinshan glanced at the handsome man opposite him, who seemed to belong to a completely different world. "Do you know about his relationship with Hou Ping and his group?"

“I am the boss of his agency. Tianci Entertainment has a contract with him. He saved my life, so we have a good personal relationship.”

Yin Su nodded. “I know he’s starting a business. The district head you met at the hospital before was a strong supporter of agricultural product projects. They should have some kind of cooperation... I’m sorry, I don’t know the details here and can’t explain them to you, but if needed, you can schedule a meeting with the district head.”

He passed the difficult problem to Yin Fengzhu. As for Bo Bing, no one could have imagined that she had come back from the dead and been resurrected. Further investigation revealed only these connections.

“As for why I was included in this game… it’s because they want my things,” Yin Su’s eyes turned cold. “I personally think something is very strange. It feels like they specifically came to this private room… even specifically to find my valuables.”

"What do you mean?"

Wu Huan was somewhat surprised, "You know the Leopards and their gang?"

“I don’t know them. I’m not familiar with this place. I just wanted to get some fresh air today,” Yin Su shook his head, looking somewhat embarrassed. “But my intuition tells me that they’re actually after my watch. Arresting the other people is secondary… Their target is very clear.”

"watch?"

Guan Yinshan's gaze shifted downwards, landing on Yin Su's wrist. "May I ask its value... if it's convenient?"

“There’s nothing inconvenient about it. This is an auctioned watch, its value far exceeds its actual worth, and I’ve never worn it in any public setting before,” Yin Su tapped the table, revealing two figures.

The two police officers froze in place.

Are actors really that well-paid? Guan Yinshan was stunned by this astronomical price. The actual value was already astronomical, but the final price would be more than ten times that?

This world has gone mad.

Wu Huan's hand holding the pen trembled. "Don't worry, we will definitely investigate this to the end."

“Then I’ll have to trouble you officers,” Yin Su stood up, shook hands with Guan Yinshan, and placed He Jinlan’s business card on the table. “If they need compensation, please contact my assistant. He will help handle it. Please keep the rest of your privacy confidential.”

Guan Yinshan didn't mince words either, "Mr. Yin, rest assured, and thank you for your cooperation."

When Yin Su went out again, he found that Bo Bing had already fallen asleep, her head tilted to the side, curled up in the iron chair.
