Hmph!
Xiang Wan sneered and faced his gaze.
“I remember very well that on the night that Sun Shangli jumped, you were the one who organized the gathering. You invited Sun Shangli to dance. The internet was filled with rumors that Sun Shangli was your lover. When Sun Shangli went to look up Kong Xinqiong, you were present as well…”
“Aye! I have too many scandals with women.” Ye Lun laughed, he didn’t seem to mind at all. He didn’t admit nor did he deny. “Take you and me for example. When we’re together long enough, won’t people also say that… both of us are lovers?”
“…”
Ye Lun revealed a smile as he knew that this was a sore spot as Xiang Wan stayed quiet.
“You know how vicious the keyboard warriors are… You’re so beautiful and if you got kidnapped, do you think people will believe that you’re ‘clean’?” As Ye Lun said so, his fingers were stroking Xiang Wan’s face. He seemed to enjoy the feel of her face and his smile grew wider. “That includes your Bai Muchuan. Do you think that he will believe that I didn’t do anything to you?”

“…”
“He won’t. Most people wouldn’t as well. They wouldn’t let you off simply because you’re the victim… You know how malicious their remarks could be… They would say that the victim is guilty or you might even be mocked as a loose woman… They might even say that you got the better deal instead… After all, Ye Lun is such a handsome stud and that you’re the one who offered yourself instead of the other way round…”
“…”
The words were unbearable to hear but it felt realistic.
Xiang Wan felt that the Internet would most likely react with such comments and remarks.
She felt a cold chill and was scared.
After that, she laughed.
“This is not important. I do not care about such people. Ye Lun, you almost led me away from the topic.”
Ye Lun raised an eyebrow and said nothing.
“We are discussing the relationship between you and Cui Ming… It’s not so simple, right? In almost every case that Cui Ming had committed, you seem to be linked somehow. Nevertheless, the police have never found out what direct relationship you have with the case. I have to admit that you’re very smart… I believe that when Cui Ming was dying, he must have thought that it was Meng Chi who wanted him dead and not you?”
Ye Lun swirled the drink in his glass. “What do you think?”
Xiang Wan had a solemn look on her face. “So it’s really the case?”
Hur! Ye Lun chortled, a glint flashed through his eyes. He didn’t give a direct reply. “Teacher Xiang, my interest in you is getting greater. What should I do? Why don’t we just make the impending scandal become true?”

What?!
Xiang Wan was dazed for a moment. “Anyway,” Ye Lun laughed. “People will definitely speculate that both of us slept together… Why don’t we make use of this chance and enjoy it?”
“Why are you avoiding the issue?” Xiang Wan was shuddering in fear inside her heart at what he said. She had to continue to divert his attention. “You’re the one who told Sun Shangli that Tan Ziyang was being sealed in the wall of ‘The Palace’, right? You planned her death by inviting her and reported to the police that there were people taking drugs. After that, you ultimately made the police bear the brunt of her ‘suicide’… I guess that the one you originally wanted to frame is Bai Muchuan and not Huang He, right? Huang He was simply unlucky?”
“Tch!” Ye Lun’s eyebrows creased together tightly but still show a half-smile. “Do you think I will do all of these by myself?”
“Of course you have to,” said Xiang Wan, “Cui Ming’s still alive back then. You’re wary of him and life certainly wouldn’t be as carefree back then. If you didn’t do a good job, he might realize that you were using him all along so as to achieve your goal. You know very well that he wouldn’t let you off.”
Ye Lun was silent and let out a sneer.
As he didn’t answer that…
That meant the direction of her guesses should be right.
“What kind of relationship did you have with Cui Ming?” Xiang Wan raised her eyebrows. “Or… was Cui Ming the one who made you into a well-known child star and take on this glorious life experience? He groomed you but controlled you at the same time? What did you have? Riches? Did he take your wealth or force you to do things for him, help him to commit crimes? For instance, with regards to Sun Shangli’s death, he threatened you to do it?”
Ye Lun’s eyes gradually turned cold.
“You don’t have any grudge with Sun Shangli,” said Xiang Wan, “then why did you want to plot against her? You’re a celebrity with money and countless fans. Why would you engage in illegal acts when you could live your life freely? Well, I understand that now, all those who died in those cases were Cui Ming’s enemies. They were his enemies from an accident 19 years ago…”
Ye Lun raised his chin, his smile seemed somewhat reluctant. “What else do you want to guess?”
Xiang Wan cleared her throat. “And your birth father Wei Gang, after he got out of prison, no one wanted to lend him a helping hand but Cui Ming actually did. It was actually your doing, right? Of course, Wei Gang had stayed in the Dark Clan for so long but never got an important position there. I guess Cui Ming didn’t actually want to help him. It was because of you that he took him in.”
Clap! Clap!
Ye Lun clapped his hands with a smile.
“Good story! You’re indeed an author with a good imagination.”
“You flatter me!” Xiang Wan saw that there were some emotions in his eyes. “Tell me then, did I get it correctly?”
Ye Lun narrowed his eyes and looked at her coldly.
For a long time, he didn’t talk, as if he was thinking about something…
“Teacher Xiang, actually I’m the one whom you should be most grateful to.”
Grateful to him, what did he mean?
Xiang Wan laughed and tried to sound him out. “Do I owe you money?”
“You don’t owe me money. Instead, you owe me a favor.” Ye Lun revealed a sly smile, a glint of evil flashing past his eyes. “If not for me, you would have long died in the hands of Cui Ming. If not for me… your book wouldn’t have become popular. If not for me, you wouldn’t have gotten to know Bai Muchuan. Hurhurhurhur…”
His peals of laughter gave her the creeps.
“All of these, aren’t they enough to make you thank me?”
Ye Lun looked at her deeply before looking away. Xiang Wan was still perplexed.
Died in the hands of Cui Ming? What does that mean? she thought.
Xiang Wan wanted to ask more but before she could say anything, Ye Lun’s mobile phone rang.
As it broke the silence, it also pulled him back from his thoughts.
Ye Lun glanced towards Xiang Wan then looked at his mobile phone, tapping lightly on his knees. “Why are you talking to me about all this? Shouldn’t you be asking about the situation of your lover now?”
Xiang Wan’s smile froze.
“He’s not my lover.”
“Oh.” Ye Lun laughed. “It’s useless for you to deny it before me…”
He’s right.
What he thought about this was not important.
Xiang Wan didn’t want to waste her energy on this. “Where is Cheng Zheng?”
“You’re nervous! You have something going on with him, right?” Ye Lun pointed at her and laughed heartily. “So Teacher Xiang,” asked Ye Lun who suddenly drew close to Xiang Wan’s face and looked directly at her, “when are you going to make me one of your lovers?”
“…”
“My skills are definitely better than theirs. I can guarantee that you’ll enjoy it. Wanna give it a try?”
“…”
Xiang Wan kept quiet.
She didn’t want to answer him at all.
This was because any kind of reply would make him even more excited.
Ye Lun saw her closely knitted eyebrows and snorted a laugh. His hand suddenly rested on her collar. “It would be a waste to not make full use of the situation when there’s a beautiful woman here.” He spoke in a low voice with an unusual hoarse tone, “Xiang Wan… Come, try me. You’ll fall in love with me…”
