Xiao Peilin and He Jinlan exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

However, Yin Su did not offer any explanation to them because of their puzzled glances.

Xiao Peilin is a person who pays great attention to results. He follows Yin Su because Yin Su has a keen business sense and efficient methods. Once he finalizes something, it is almost guaranteed to succeed.

This time, seeing that his boss had given unfounded instructions, Xiao Peilin still felt obligated to remind his boss.

"Aren't we stretching the battle lines too far, waiting for the oriole to appear? Boss... you don't know when the other side will make their move, do you?"

Xiao Peilin adjusted his glasses with the folder, looked at Yin Su, and continued, "What if the other party... didn't swallow the Ice River as you said, but was instead 'taken away' by the Ice River's people as prey?"

The Ice Age was a behemoth, expecting someone else to swallow it whole...

Is the boss trusting the other party too much?

Upon hearing this, Yin Su gave it a serious thought.

Ah, prey!

Yin Su held up a water glass in his right hand, the transparent liquid inside rippling slightly. The light from the ceiling hung down, casting a dim ripple on Yin Su's face through the swaying glass.

The man's eyes shone with an astonishing light.

Then, as if he had thought of something, Yin Su laughed out loud.

"Is that so... then I can become the savior of the oriole," he put down his water glass, sat up straight, and his words inevitably revealed a sinister air.

"I couldn't be happier."

The bright red mole between his eyebrows also resembled some kind of terrifying evil.

For a moment, no one in the room dared to speak.

However, this trip wasn't just for this matter.

As Yin Su's confidante, He Jinlan naturally had to investigate matters that Yin Su was interested in.

Their boss seems to have suddenly taken a liking to a young trainee lately.

They had already checked Bo Bing's information one by one. He was a guy with an extremely clean background, a rare breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry, a place that devours people without spitting out their bones. Of course, this doesn't mean that he was only clean in terms of background, but rather that Bo Bing's faction was clean.

Logically speaking, if the boss is only interested in a trainee with a clean background, there's no need for the two of them to act like they're facing a formidable enemy.

If they hadn't witnessed Bo Bing's almost superb killing skills, they wouldn't have been able to connect this madman with the model youth described in the files.

It's not uncommon for celebrities to be kept by sugar daddies.

Where there is light, there will also be corruption and darkness.

The more someone stands in the spotlight in the entertainment industry, the deeper the shadows beneath their feet become.

Without capital, connections, or great luck, those who rely solely on acting skills and good looks are nothing more than stepping stones to be trampled on and used as stepping stones in the pink graveyard of the entertainment industry.

Yin Su certainly has an exceptionally good appearance, acting skills that allow him to stand out, and even incredible luck. But even so, behind him stands an almost terrifying amount of capital and a deeply entrenched network of connections.

Yin Su had all the advantages: favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships.

A terrifying creature that climbs to the top by stepping on the bones of others.

The youngest actor to win all three major film awards.

—Yin Su.

No one knows the undercurrents churning behind that name.

But everyone knows the prestige of this name.

Having reached his current position, his very existence has become a form of capital. He himself is an invincible brand, and in addition, he has never been involved in any scandals since his debut.

Therefore, countless men and women dream of instant success, as numerous as carp crossing a river.

He Jinlan has seen many people around Yin Su over the years.

Aloof and elegant, obedient and cute, well-behaved and sensible, mature and charming... Regardless of gender, most of the entertainment industry has extended enthusiastic invitations to Yin Su. Among them are even sons and daughters from wealthy families who offered exorbitant prices just to have dinner with Yin Su.

Yin Su politely declined their offers with a faint smile.

It's no wonder He Jinlan was puzzled. There were countless minor and major stars prettier than Bo Bing, but none of them had won Yin Su's favor.

Why, of all people, is it thin ice?

Someone who isn't even considered an actor, isn't even a nobody, isn't even a washed-up celebrity...

What about those unknown trainees?

Moreover, this guy is an ambitious and dangerous individual.

Are you interested in that young trainee?

He Jinlan wasn't sure if her superior, Xiang, really had crossed the line with a junior trainee.

Perhaps it's just that their boss is showing concern for a poor, unconscious junior colleague?

But the next second, he heard an affirmative reply from the other party.

Yin Su didn't like to hide things either, after all, this was a trusted confidant.

"Excuse my bluntness, but... are you interested in the kind I'm thinking of?" He Jinlan hesitated for a moment, wondering why the other person had stormed out of Bo Bing's hospital room in a huff. "What's so special about that kind of child?"

Yin Su only affirmed the first half of the other person's statement, and smiled but remained silent about the second half.

You can't exactly say that your godfather has come back to life, can you?

"These trainees, you can just negotiate the terms, right? I've seen Manager Sun say a lot about this kind of thing happening in the industry before," Xiao Peilin said, also puzzled.

He considered Bo Bing's skills and temperament, and then offered a suggestion, "Even if the other party thinks highly of themselves, as long as you set a price that matches their expectations, and then it's a mutually agreeable arrangement... it's easy for them to take the bait, right?"

"If it is inconvenient for you to come in person, I am willing to do it for you."

He Jinlan also raised her head.

Are they easy to hook?

Who? The young godfather?

Yin Su sighed and smiled wryly. He was almost hooked by the "little trainee" the two men were talking about, while his two subordinates were still figuring out how easy it would be for the other to take the bait.

The other party has a bigger appetite than I do, otherwise why would I dare to use the Ice Age as bait?

“I’m serious,” Yin Su composed himself, stood up, and once again revealed his usual gentle smile, his voice low and captivating, “Don’t disturb my beloved…”

"We have to wait until he volunteers."

I need a little bird to walk into my trap, Yin Su thought. I weave a gentle swamp and a flower trap, waiting for it to willingly fall into my arms.

Until then...

—I will also recklessly drown in his dreams.
