The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

Song Ke stopped him with a look: "Don't be so gossipy."

"By the way, why did you come in person, Brother Ji? Does your family know about your injury?"

Jiang Lin sighed: "Whether you know or not, what difference does it make? Don't even mention it."

That evening, Song Ke went out and booked a room. When she came back up, she ran into He Yunming and He Wen, who were about to leave. She was immediately stunned.

I never expected to run into He Yunming here. He's back. Isn't he supposed to be with Gu Qing?

She tried to pretend she didn't know him, but He Wen, because of what she had helped with that afternoon, greeted her warmly: "Song Ke."

Song Ke gave a dry smile and nodded: "Are you guys going out?"

He Wen nodded: "Yes, my brother just came to see me and hasn't had dinner yet. I'll take him to the hotel restaurant for dinner."

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is my brother, He Yunming."

After saying that, he introduced Song Ke: "Brother, this is Song Ke, Jiang Lin's friend, who is also here to visit the set."

After listening, He Yunming glanced at Song Ke a few times, then smiled gently and said, "Hello."

After saying that, he even took the initiative to ask, "Song Ke, have you had dinner? If not, let's eat together?"

Song Ke had already eaten, but seeing He Yunming's proactive invitation, she hesitated. He had come back now and hadn't run into Gu Qing, but instead had run into her.

It's completely off-topic.

Should we try to find out what He Yunming is thinking, or why he came back?

Thinking of this, Song Ke nodded: "Okay, I didn't eat too much tonight. I heard this restaurant has good desserts, I'll go try them."

Female celebrities don't usually like to touch desserts. For example, when He Wen saw Song Ke casually eating some and enjoying it, she couldn't help but swallow and ask, "Song Ke, isn't this too sweet?"

Song Ke took small bites of the cake, then glanced at her, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "No, it's delicious."

He Wen looked at her with envy: "Song Ke, you have such a great figure, you dare to eat desserts and you're still so thin."

Song Ke smiled but didn't speak, while He Yunming, standing beside her, asked with a faint smile, "Song Ke, what is your relationship with Jiang Lin?"

Song Ke felt a little offended when He Yunming asked this question after they had only just met.

However, thinking that he was about to offend him, he smiled and said casually, "He's my childhood friend."

After saying that, he joked, "You guys didn't actually believe the rumors and think I'm your sugar daddy, did you?"

The two people opposite him looked embarrassed for a couple of seconds.

He Yunming: "Stop teasing us."

"I'm not kidding you guys. I also invested in this production team, so I'm practically a financial backer."

"Speaking of which, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

He Yunming listened with a puzzled look and asked, "Really?"

He Wen chimed in, "My brother also went to university in Yuncheng before, but then he went abroad for a few years."

"Yunnan University? What a coincidence, I also went to university there."

He Yunming smiled in surprise: "That really is fate."

"By the way, are you planning to develop your career in Yuncheng now?"

He Yunming chuckled lightly: "Actually, I came back because I have some things to take care of. I'll decide on the specifics after this matter is over."

"Of course, that was my previous thought. Now that I've discovered there's such a cute junior sister in Yuncheng, I'm actually looking forward to staying."

That sounds familiar.

Song Ke thought for a moment, and realized that this wasn't what He Yunming had said to Gu Qing in the original story.

How did it transfer to myself?

Anyway, it's fine. As long as He Yunming doesn't cause trouble for the male and female leads, I can drag it out for as long as I can. Once the male and female leads are together, I don't care what they do.

The three chatted for a while and seemed to have a good time. When they returned to their accommodation, He Yunming even asked for Song Ke's contact information.

He Yunming said, "By the way, you're planning to stay here for a few days. If the timing is right, we can go back to Yuncheng together."

Song Ke didn't hide anything from him: "Just two days, I have to go back tomorrow afternoon."

He Yunming laughed: "That's perfect, we can go together. You don't mind if I hitch a ride, do you?"

"Since you've put it that way, it would seem petty of me to refuse."

"Call me tomorrow afternoon."

Back in her hotel room, Song Ke had just finished showering when she saw several missed calls on her phone, all from Chu Tiancheng.

Ha, you were pretty good at disappearing, but now you're looking for yourself.

Hey, I'm just ignoring you.

Song Ke ignored her, put her phone aside to charge, and then went to sleep.

Chu Tiancheng looked at the time on his phone and decided not to call again. He flew back to Yuncheng that very night.

It was late at night when Assistant Fang sat in the driver's seat, wearing pajamas and wrapped in a blanket, looking pitiful.

Chu Tiancheng frowned as he looked at him: "Why did you come here like this?"

Assistant Fang sighed inwardly.

Boss, don't you look at the time? It's past 3 a.m. Are you still going to dress up in a suit and tie? You'll probably be sitting here on the airport street for hours in the cold wind.

"There wasn't enough time." Assistant Fang was very capable in other areas, and of course, he was also very patient.

Chu Tiancheng then remembered that he was the one who had hurriedly sent someone over. He didn't say much, but on the way, Chu Tiancheng asked, "How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

Assistant Fang nodded: "We found out. Chen Bin, 26 years old, is a gambler and currently owes more than 300,000 yuan in gambling debts."

Chu Tiancheng listened in silence for a few seconds before looking enlightened: "So that's how it is."

Assistant Fang continued, "Qin Huan's family isn't well-off. She was raised by her aunt's family since she was little, and her education was all sponsored. Her aunt's family treats her like an ATM, thinking that since she's educated, good-looking, and works at our company, she must be rich. That's why Chen Bin keeps bothering her."

“A few days ago, I even followed Chen Bin to meet with an underground boss. His idea was to have Qin Huan pay off the debt, but he hasn’t done anything yet, and I don’t know why.”

It was only when Chu Tiancheng ran into that tall, thin man at the hospital that day that he remembered Gu Qing's kidnapping in his previous life and his misunderstanding of Song Ke.

Unexpectedly, that person turned out to be Qin Huan's cousin.

The only question is, who is he planning to kidnap this time?

Chu Tiancheng, somewhat uneasy, instructed, "Find two people to follow Song Ke recently."

Assistant Fang paused for a moment, then quickly understood: "It's President Chu."

The next day, when Jiang Lin learned that Song Ke was leaving, he desperately tried to hint to Ji Mingchi.

"Brother-in-law, are you really not going back to Yuncheng with Keke and the others?"

“I’m really fine now. You know how clingy my sister is. Don’t let her blame me later, thinking I’m the one who wouldn’t let you leave.”

"Brother-in-law, you're so busy. I have an assistant to help with my minor injury, like applying medicine. You can really rest assured."

"Besides, it's great to get a ride home on the same route, then you don't have to bother driving."

"Brother-in-law, I promise, I'll go home as soon as I finish filming here and prepare a big surprise for my sister."

Ji Mingchi simply looked at him calmly, his voice still cold: "So you're trying to get rid of me? What, is there something here that I can't know?"

"Are you in love?"

Jiang Lin almost choked on his own saliva when he heard this.

"Brother-in-law, what are you thinking? Don't go too far."

"I'm just worried about you and my sister. I'm afraid you'll miss each other if you're separated for too long."

"How about this, you go back, and I'll video call my sister tonight. If she sees I'm okay, she won't ask any more questions."

Ji Mingchi ignored him, but instead looked at Song Ke and then at He Yunming standing to the side. Thinking of his good friend's advice, he sighed inwardly.

"Don't forget what you said tonight." After saying that, Ji Mingchi smiled and threatened, "If you forget, I'll bring you a whole set of silver needles next time."

Jiang Lin hurriedly raised his hand in a panic and assured him, "Brother-in-law, I'll call, I'll definitely call. Just let me know when you get there."
