Chapter 443: Chapter 434 "Inheritance of Calligraphy and Painting" Premieres

Inside the elegant Western restaurant, Shen Chuyue put down her knife and fork and elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed her phone lighting up inside her bag, took it out to have a look, and instinctively sat up straight.

Clearing her throat, she asked, "Cousin, what do you need?"

Yun Chan, sitting across from her, raised an eyebrow at the sight but remained silent.

A clear and calm voice came from the phone, "Are you in Liangchuan now?"

"Yes, I was invited to attend a big show. The host of the show is sitting right across from me, and we just finished eating."

"Do you have some spare time?"

"Pretty much, I’m planning to take this chance to relax a bit."

"Then after you visit the show, I want you to meet someone for me."

Shen Chuyue’s eyes immediately shone with curiosity, "Who am I meeting?"

"Your sister-in-law."

"I’ll go!"

She had been intensely curious about this cousin’s wife for a long time. Although she occasionally came across news about her online, it always felt a bit distant.

Moreover, online information is a mix of truth and falsehoods, a chaotic mess when searched, and she didn’t bother looking it up.

"My sister-in-law is in Liangchuan too? What a coincidence."

"Yes, she’s filming in Liangchuan right now. Also, those three outfits I borrowed from you earlier..."

"You mean the three sets my sister-in-law needs for her show?"

"Yes, the show has already aired. You can check it out when you have time."

"Then I’ll watch it when I get back. Those three outfits are from the bottom of my trunk; I definitely need to see how they look on her."

"You won’t be disappointed. That’s all for now, I’ll send you the address in a bit."

"Okay, good night, cousin."

After hanging up, Shen Chuyue took a deep breath.

Thinking about the background noise she heard during the call, she took the last sip of wine from her glass, "Sister Yun, shall we head back now?"

"Alright," Yun Chan nodded with a smile and, as she stood up, casually asked, "I overheard you talking to your cousin, is your sister-in-law in the entertainment industry?"

"Yes," for Shen Chuyue, Yun Chan was both a mentor and a friend in the same field, so being asked like this, she quickly opened up. "My cousin, there’s a saying, how does it go, ’A beauty as distant as a flower in the clouds,’ that’s how I see him. I always thought he would spend his life alone because no one could match him."

Saying this, she shook her head, "I never expected, just like that, he quietly found someone! I only found out when he needed clothes for his sister-in-law’s show recently. I almost couldn’t keep a straight face in front of my assistants."

"Her name is Jiang Lingxi. Sister Yun, you probably haven’t heard of her. She’s not a very famous actress, and I’ve never met her in person. I really didn’t expect my cousin’s first romantic move would be for an actress."

Yun Chan thought to herself, as expected.

Filming in Liangchuan, female, in her twenties—combining these factors, the scope is incredibly narrow.

"You’re actually mistaken; I have met Miss Jiang."

"Oh?"

"Just recently, through my son. But you don’t need to go all the way to see her. I’ve sent an invitation to Miss Jiang, and she will also come to see my show."

Shen Chuyue didn’t ask why Yun Chan sent an invitation to her cousin’s wife who wasn’t very famous. She nodded happily, "That’s such a coincidence, Sister Yun! Can you arrange for us to sit together?"

"No problem at all."

Once in the car, Yun Chan started the engine and, remembering something, looked at Shen Chuyue in the passenger seat, "The three outfits you mentioned to your cousin, could they be the three finale sets for the second half of the year, the ones that even models haven’t worn yet?"

"Yes," Shen Chuyue nodded, "This is their first public appearance on a show."

"Which show?"

Shen Chuyue remembered clearly, "The National Channel’s ’Inheritance of Calligraphy and Painting’."

"The name itself sounds artistic. It seems Miss Jiang is quite talented."

"Perhaps."

"I’ll watch it when we get back."

The originally relaxed and happy atmosphere in the car was suddenly interrupted by a burst of an urgent phone ringtone.

Yun Chan glanced at the call display on the car’s dashboard, her face immediately changing, and she answered the call, "What’s happened?"

"Boss, the young master met a couple at the convenience store across from the hotel, and his headache suddenly flared up, stopping them from leaving."

"What couple?"

"They look young, wearing hats and masks. But it seems like they know the young master."

"Alright, keep them there, I’m coming over."

After Yun Chan hung up, Shen Chuyue quickly said, "Sister Yun, don’t worry about me, this is more important, let’s go check it out quickly."

She might as well go see what’s happening!

The hotel was not far from the scenic area and was built luxuriously.

The convenience store across the street was open 24 hours, and it was a good time for dinner guests to come out and look at the starry desert sky; many tourists would choose to buy a snack or drink there before heading over.

However, Yun Yi originally only intended to come buy some snacks and then head back to the hotel. After choosing items and preparing to pay, he happened to hear two voices that felt somewhat familiar and instinctively looked over.

Even though the two who walked in were holding hands and wore hats and masks, revealing only their eyes, he still felt a strong sense of familiarity and, even more so, a strong sense of repulsion.

His mind instinctively reacted, his head almost immediately started hurting intensely, but instinctively he grabbed the closest boy’s arm.

"Don’t go, who are you?"

The boy didn’t speak, seemingly stunned.

Then the girl next to him suddenly screamed, drawing the attention of everyone around.

By the time Yun Chan and Shen Chuyue arrived, the crowd was already gathered in a circle at the convenience store entrance, fully displaying their love for a good spectacle.

Yun Chan had no choice but to put on sunglasses and get off the car, and Shen Chuyue followed suit as she saw it.

The two of them squeezed through the crowd and went inside, only to see Yun Yi holding his head with one hand while tightly gripping someone with the other, a pained expression on his face, and somewhat gritting his teeth unconsciously.

The bodyguard assigned to him was blocking the two people’s way.

Yun Chan stepped forward and, without a word, directly reached out to pull off the couple’s hats and masks.

The two hadn’t expected someone to act so directly, and when their faces were fully exposed, they were both stunned, staring at the strong-aura woman in sunglasses before them and not knowing how to react.

Yun Chan’s gaze fell on their faces. Even though she had guessed on the way over, seeing them with her own eyes, her pupils couldn’t help but contract, "Lian Lian, Li Yan, so it really is you two!"

She had checked out all the members of the expedition team in the past few days but hadn’t found anything unusual.

Only Lian Lian and Li Yan remained unaccounted for, either having changed their previous contact information or deliberately hiding, leaving no clues.

Combined with Jiang Lingxi’s suggestion to focus on investigating Lian Lian, her suspicion of these two had grown tremendously.

She’d been planning to add some personnel to the Liangchuan area, but it turned out the brat encountered them first.

"Take them away, we’ll talk back at the hotel."
