Chapter 281: Chapter 285 Encounter (5)

Jian Anning instinctively stepped aside. It was the height of summer, and even though it was eight o’clock, there was still a faint glimmer of light on the horizon, not yet completely engulfed by darkness.

In such dusky twilight, a pure black Dodge Ram van approached from the distance on the main road, coming ever closer!

The speed was so fast, yet the engine made no roaring sound; the streamlined body of the black Dodge Ram quickly blended into the surrounding night, like a slowly drifting specter, emanating a mysterious and profound aura.

The windows were tightly shut. From the outside, one couldn’t see inside at all.

This was a side entrance for staff. Although many high-level executives from Starlight Entertainment and Huasi Film and Television had arrived, they all used the main entrance. Why would such a high-end vehicle take this alleyway?

Jian Anning frowned and stepped to the side. The security guard, as part of his routine, came over and knocked on the window, "Excuse me, do you have a pass?"

Suddenly, the rear window was slightly rolled down to create a small opening.

Under the dim light at the entrance, a pair of slender fingers with distinct knuckles reached out. A magnetic card the size of a bank card was held between the man’s slender index and middle finger and handed out. A faint scent of tobacco wafted out from inside the car—not the kind of pungent mixed smell that made one uncomfortable but a high-quality tobacco aroma with a hint of mint, carrying the rich scent of superior cigars.

Perhaps out of old habit, Jian Anning’s gaze involuntarily shifted to those hands.

Then, from her angle, she could easily see the owner of those hands, a pair of eyes as grey-blue as the sky!

Just then, the security guard checked the card and realized it was a VIP card, his attitude making an immediate one-eighty! He handed back the card respectfully with both hands, his expression becoming very amiable, "All clear, please come in."

However, the car didn’t move yet, when the man inside, in a low and intoxicating voice like aged wine, asked, "Who is that woman?"

Jian Anning was startled, feeling those grey-blue eyes, with a hint of probing curiosity, staring intently at her.

At the end of the red carpet.

Yu Zexiao had changed his clothes today, as the silver-white Versace suit he wore had been stained with blood and could no longer be worn.

He was now in a grey, fitted casual outfit. Although it lacked the meticulous design of Versace, Yu Zexiao was the legendary type—a natural clothes hanger, who could make even a roadside stall’s outfit look like a designer brand. Even if he were given only a sack to wear, he might still make it look stylish.

By his side was Jiang Xuanqi, dressed in full attire. Although Yu Zexiao had no real fondness for Jiang Xuanqi in private, he wasn’t the kind of person who didn’t know how to adjust to different situations. Since the company was strongly marketing a scandal between him and Jiang Xuanqi, even though he wouldn’t comply, he wouldn’t oppose it publicly either.

At this moment, the two of them appeared in full dress—a handsome and charming man alongside an alluring and dignified woman. Standing in front of the camera together, they truly looked like a match made in heaven.
