CHAPTER 73: ACT OF CHIVALRY

"Tonight the bar was crowded and noisy, and there were many entertainment reporters looking for news. Eldest Sister-in-law has probably cleared some of them out, but to prevent any from slipping through, tonight you send two people to investigate the entertainment reporters who entered and exited the bar today. Also, see who photographed this scene. I don’t want to see anything related to Wen Nuan in the newspapers or online tomorrow morning. If anyone dares to disobey, you know what to do." Ye Feimo’s voice was extremely cold.

Xiao Hei nodded. "Yes, I understand."

"Remember to notify me when that bear is discharged from the hospital." Ye Feimo smiled coldly. "Also, investigate the past records of those two actresses, Gu Yiting and Bai Xiuwen. I want to make sure they can’t survive in this industry."

"Yes!"

A storm seemed to have been forcefully suppressed by Second Young Master Ye’s swift and decisive actions.

Ye Feimo returned home late at night.

Cheng Anya called to ask about Wen Nuan’s condition. Ye Feimo only said she was fine and that the matter had been suppressed, that nothing was wrong.

"It’s her first time encountering something like this. You should be more careful in the future and not let her see such things," Cheng Anya couldn’t help but reproach him. "Cai Xiaojing is indeed reliable and capable, but she only has two hands after all. Get her an assistant to help out at all times."

"Wen Nuan doesn’t like having people follow her. I’ll be careful," Ye Feimo said, sounding very tired. "Mommy, thank you for tonight."

"You should thank Kelan and Tianyu. They just got off the plane and said they wanted to dance, so I took them to Casablanca," Cheng Anya said with a laugh. "It’s good that things are settled. Go back and be with her."

Cheng Anya hung up the phone with a smile. Only then did Ye Feimo go upstairs.

He habitually pressed the button for the 44th floor.

Wen Nuan was already fast asleep. Only a dim yellow light was on in the bedroom. Cai Xiaojing was afraid she wouldn’t sleep peacefully at night, so she was sleeping in the guest room tonight. Ye Feimo didn’t disturb her when he returned.

He sat by the bed. In the dim light, Wen Nuan’s face was still a bit swollen. The ice pack had helped a little, but Brother Xiong had hit her hard, and the swelling was severe. Ye Feimo reached out and gently stroked her face.

The air conditioner in the bedroom was turned up quite high, but her face had a feverish heat. Ye Feimo felt a pang of heartache looking at the marks.

This clumsy girl was truly fortunate tonight.

If something had really happened, he would have gone mad and killed someone.

Wen Nuan turned over. Ye Feimo withdrew his involuntary fingers. She didn’t open her eyes and continued to sleep soundly.

In the darkness, Ye Feimo’s gaze was as deep as a flame, leaping with a violent fire.

"Clumsy girl, sleep well." He would retaliate a thousandfold against those who bullied her, making them regret being born.

Wen Nuan was his exclusive target for bullying. Someone had actually dared to be so audacious as to touch his person. They should be prepared for his revenge.

Han Bi’s apartment.

Linda hung up the phone. Han Bi was reading a script. Linda hesitated for a moment and said, "Han Bi, something happened at Casablanca today, involving Wen Nuan. Are you interested in hearing about it?"

Han Bi raised an eyebrow, not very interested. What could happen at a bar? Linda’s phone beeped, and a video was sent over. She opened it, smiled, and handed it to Han Bi.

"Why are you so gossipy today?" Han Bi said with a smile, taking the phone. Her eyebrows rose in surprise as she watched. The video was taken inside a private room, showing Brother Xiong asking Wen Nuan to offer a toast, and then Brother Xiong pushing her onto the sofa, tearing her top, intending to rape her.

In the video, Wen Nuan’s eyes were filled with terror, she looked disheveled, and there were clear signs of being manhandled. Brother Xiong’s expression made it clear that no one was allowed to interfere; he was determined to have his way with her.

There were quite a few people around.

"Who sent you this?" Han Bi exclaimed. How could such a video have leaked? It was unbelievable.

"Today Selina was singing for Brother Xiong, Brother Qiang, and the others. Young Master Xu brought people from the Pure Lotus crew over for dinner. Brother Xiong took a liking to Wen Nuan, but who knew that girl had such a strong temper? She refused to offer a toast, which angered Brother Xiong. Brother Xiong wanted to play with her right there and then with Young Master Xu and the others. Who knew she’d grab a wine bottle and injure Brother Xiong? I heard she went crazy and stabbed Brother Xiong with the broken bottle," Linda said with a disdainful laugh. "That’s how newly debuted girls are. They have guts, but if they’re not careful, I think she’s probably finished. It’ll definitely be in the news tomorrow."

Han Bi watched the video without saying anything. She also remembered a similar scene when she had just debuted. At that time, she had also resisted with all her might, but not as... forcefully as Wen Nuan.

That year, she was probably even younger than Wen Nuan was now, a naive age, not understanding anything, just full of pride.

Later, she slowly understood that pride in the entertainment industry was just asking for humiliation.

"What happened afterwards?"

"Selina said that Madam Ye and the eldest young mistress of the Ye family happened to be there and saved Wen Nuan. I heard that Madam Ye even had her grandson break both of Brother Xiong’s legs and sent him to the hospital. Later, someone silenced everyone and deleted all the videos and photos taken that day. Anyone who dared to spread them would have their mouths sealed," Linda said with a gloating smile. "Casablanca is so famous in the industry; everyone goes there often. There are more than a dozen entertainment reporters lurking there, all of them shrewd. How many mouths can Anning silence? Even if they try their best to protect Wen Nuan’s image, they won’t be able to. It’ll definitely be in the news tomorrow."

It was also a coincidence that Selina was the pure and innocent female singer who was singing for Brother Xiong tonight. Linda had a good relationship with Selina’s manager. A few days ago, while chatting, they inadvertently mentioned that Han Bi didn’t like Wen Nuan, who was called ’Little Han Bi’ by some. Selina had immediately brown-nosed Han Bi, saying Wen Nuan wasn’t anything special and saying a lot of bad things about her. Coincidentally, when this scene happened, she immediately filmed it and sent it to her email, intending to save it for Han Bi to see.

Later, Xu Nuo ordered people to delete the videos and photos one by one, but this video of hers had already been sent to her email and slipped through the net.

"Madam Ye?" Han Bi’s attention was drawn by these words. She gripped her phone tightly, feeling a surge of resentment in her heart. "How does she know Wen Nuan?"

"Who knows?" Linda shrugged. "Maybe it was just an act of chivalry. After all, Wen Nuan is an artist under Anning International. She just rushed out like that. Maybe Madam Ye couldn’t stand it. Haven’t we seen her help other artists out of trouble before?"

Cheng Anya’s opinion had always been a thorn in Han Bi’s side, a thorn that always lurked in her heart, causing her a hidden ache.
