Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Chu Bailian Strikes Again, The Couple Competes in Acting Skills

Xie Han looked ashen.

He had not expected that, after finally establishing a connection with the Zou Family, he would nearly lose his own life.

After careful thought, Xie Han still transferred ten million to Qin Zhao.

That was his last savings.

But if he were dead, all the money in the world would be useless!

"Qin Zhao, I’ve entrusted you with my entire fortune and life."

When Chu Yan supported Qin Wan to the front of the apartment, they overheard this.

Seeing Chu Yan’s pale face and dim expression, Qin Wan’s face instantly darkened.

"Qin Zhao! Come out here!"

"Auntie, Chu Yan, why are you here?"

Qin Zhao came out, surprised to see them.

"There are reporters online saying that you two are dating and even cohabiting. They tracked down your cohabitation location and want to stream a live exposé, so we came over."

Chu Yan explained, then added, "Qin Zhao, if you really have fallen for someone else, let’s get divorced. Even if I have you physically, I can’t have your heart.

It’s okay for me, as long as you’re happy." His voice choked towards the end.

Qin Zhao, "?"

Sorry, my fists hardened.

I really want to punch him in the face.

"Zhaozhao, you’ve really disappointed me! How could you fall for such a person!"

Qin Wan looked at Xie Han, shaking her head.

"No, auntie, what do you mean by ’such a person’?"

Qin Wan didn’t bother with Xie Han, clutching Chu Yan’s hand tight, feeling heavy-hearted as they walked toward the elevator.

"Auntie." Qin Zhao caught up, "The person cohabiting with Xie Han isn’t me. Doesn’t he know who I live with every day?"

She glared at Chu Yan.

"I’m here today because someone wants to kill Xie Han!"

"Are you here to protect him?"

Chu Yan asked her, eyes reddened, his face even paler.

"You really care about him."

"..."

Pretend, just keep pretending!

Acting, right? Who can’t act!

Qin Zhao took a deep breath, grinding her teeth as she said, "Who said that, the most important person to me is obviously you! He called for help, was I supposed to ignore it?

Chu Yan, you’re a doctor, you should understand, right?"

Seeing the look in her eyes that she wanted to kill him, yet having to say such insincere words, a flicker of amusement passed through Chu Yan’s eyes as he said, "So it’s like that, you really don’t have anything going on with Xie Han?"

"Of course, I’m a married woman, I still have that much sense. Do you really not trust me?"

"How could I not, it’s just that you’ve been so distant lately, that’s why I got all these ideas."

Qin Wan thought of the blood on Xie Han’s body and the mess in the room, which made her face look a bit better.

"That Xie Han isn’t a good person either. What goes around comes around. Zhaozhao, you should stay away from him. Helping him this time is enough, from now on, you should have nothing to do with him."

Qin Wan earnestly reminded Qin Zhao, "Lest you get targeted by bad people."

She wasn’t a saint, she didn’t want Qin Zhao to risk her life to save a scumbag.

Qin Zhao obediently nodded her head.

Pretending to be good, who can’t?

Then Qin Wan added, "You really should pay more attention to Chu Yan, after all, you are husband and wife."

Qin Zhao’s lips curled into a cold smile, "Of course."

"Chu Yan, you don’t need to support me, go with Zhaozhao."

As Chu Yan came over, he took her hand.

She instinctively tried to pull away, but Chu Yan held on tightly.

His smile was innocent, "Zhaozhao, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted you."

"What’s there to be sorry about? I know you care about me, that’s why you got all paranoid."

Qin Zhao tried to maintain a warm and kind smile.

"Have you forgiven me?"

"Of course, I never blamed you in the first place."

"Just give me a kiss, and I’ll believe you."

"???"

Where’s her forty-meter-long sword?

As a qualified actress, Qin Zhao pursed her lips, trying her best to appear uneasy, "We are at the roadside with so many people around."

Chu Yan looked disappointed, "You still blame me."

"If you insist on thinking that way, there’s nothing I can do."

Qin Zhao shook off his hand and walked to Qin Wan’s side, her cheeks flushed.

"Aunt! How can he be so shameless? We are outside."

Qin Wan smiled and reassured Chu Yan, "You two can kiss all you want when you get home. It’s too much with all the people here on the street. Since it’s all a misunderstanding, your aunt is relieved."

Qin Zhao sighed in relief, secretly glared at Chu Yan, and then they first took Qin Wan back to the hospital.

Not long after they left, a group of black-clad bodyguards nearby dragged out a paparazzo who was holding a camera. The paparazzi originally intended to livestream Qin Zhao leaving Xie Han’s home but was intercepted by the bodyguards.

"Hand over the camera."

The leading bodyguard got the camera and deleted all the photos of Qin Zhao and Xie Han, leaving only a photo of Qin Zhao and Chu Yan holding hands. However, Chu Yan’s face wasn’t captured; only a tall and straight silhouette was visible.

"Only use this photo. Got it?"

The menacing bodyguard patted the reporter’s face, scaring him into nodding repeatedly.

"If any gossip about Miss Qin and Xie Han appears online, you better be careful."

"Okay, okay."

The reporter looked wary, feeling sure that the man beside Qin Zhao must have an extraordinary identity.

If the news got out, it would be huge, but he didn’t dare to inquire about the man’s identity.

So, when the photo was uploaded online, the reporter used somewhat evasive language.

#Qin Zhao has another boyfriend, Xie Han seems to be dumped#

[? What! How could Brother Han ever be dumped!]

[Are you seeking death, editor?]

[It must be Xie Han who dumped Qin Zhao, serves her right!]

[Qin Zhao never deserved Xie Han, good they aren’t together!]

[Two-timing? Disgusting.]

Qin Zhao saw the online hot search only after returning home.

This time, she didn’t respond at all.

She had made over ten million from her association with Xie Han, what’s a few nasty comments from his fans?

It didn’t matter. A few words weren’t going to hurt her, making money was what mattered.

Regarding the photo of her holding hands with Chu Yan, she chose not to respond to that either; it would only fuel the trolls even more.

Not long after they left, Xie Han sold the property here and moved to another place, also hiring some reliable bodyguards from a security company.

For the next while, everything was peaceful.

Qin Zhao too enjoyed some peace because Chu Yan was away on business, so she didn’t need to see that annoying guy.

The filming crew called, announcing they had found a new location.

Before they resumed shooting, the director wanted Qin Zhao to check out the Feng Shui.

"How is it? Is there anything unclean here?"

Qin Zhao walked around the new site and said, "This place is pretty good, nothing unusual."

The director immediately relaxed.

"But,"

Qin Zhao suddenly spoke up, making the director’s heart leap again.

She didn’t continue, instead she looked towards the distance.

Shortly after, they saw Xie Han approaching.

Two bodyguards flanked Xie Han, who wore a mask and sunglasses. Although he removed them, Qin Zhao still couldn’t see his face clearly because it was shrouded in a thick black aura.

This layer of black aura meant that Xie Han was doomed to die today!

"But what?"

The director asked anxiously.

"The Feng Shui here is fine, but someone might come to cause trouble later. Let the security personnel of the crew be extra vigilant and watch out for any unfamiliar faces."

"Alright, I will alert them now."

Qin Zhao’s expression turned solemn – this incident wasn’t just targeting Xie Han; after all, she was the real solver of the Zou Family issues.

So, she was also a target!

The other party chosen today to strike, probably aiming to eliminate both of them in one go.
