CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 229: THE SWINDLER_3

"Green tea, directing and starring herself, didn’t expect Fu Siyu to come out and refute the rumors in person, right? Deserved a slap in the face. Let’s see if that hurts your pretty face."

"Am I the only one focused on Fu Siyu’s wardrobe? This is the master’s personal customization; just this closet full of clothes could probably buy my life."

The speculation about the suit was effortlessly debunked, and the direction of online public opinion shifted that quickly; one second, netizens were cursing Fu Siyu, and the next, they turned to curse Fang Yuan.

Fu Siyu closed the news without looking further.

At that moment, Shu Wan sent him a message, "Wanna play a game?"

"Sure."

Fu Siyu quickly came online and, seeing the team, felt a moment of disappointment.

He had thought it would be a duo queue, but there was Fu Yang in the team as well.

Fu Siyu joined the team, and at first, didn’t notice anything amiss until Shu Wan could hardly suppress a chuckle, "What’s with your name?"

Only then did Fu Siyu notice his in-game name had been changed from the original F to "I am a Big Liar."

In a flash, Fu Siyu knew who had changed it and why Fu Yang had made it such. He had no position to blame Fu Yang.

"Probably a moment of self-awareness." It was rare for Fu Siyu to be put in a spot, and Fu Yang seemed quite happy, "Hurry up and get ready, bro."

Fu Yang emphasized the word "bro" heavily, the way he always addressed F.

Fu Siyu’s expression darkened slightly, but he still entered the game following Fu Yang’s prompt.

That night, to use Fu Yang’s words, was thoroughly enjoyable.

Although the unspoken truth remained untouched, all three knew it as clearly as if it were reflected in a mirror.

Initially in the team, the status of the three was determined by ability.

Shu Wan was the top priority, ranked first. Fu Siyu came second, and Fu Yang was the team’s pawn.

Running errands was his job, as was dying; he scurried about busily and willingly so.

But tonight was utterly different, with Shu Wan watching the drama unfold, and Fu Yang flipping the script to be the boss—boisterous and imperious, without any reservations.

As a result, he could snatch the best gear from Fu Siyu’s hands, have Fu Siyu shield him, have Fu Siyu keep watch for him, and even have Fu Siyu protect him specifically.

"Oh, dear." Fu Yang felt that this was the most enjoyable day he ever had gaming, "Time to sleep. Let’s play again tomorrow, alright? My good brother?"

Fu Yang made a particular point of addressing Fu Siyu.

Fu Siyu didn’t respond and simply logged off the game.

When Fu Siyu exited the game, Fu Yang couldn’t help but laugh, "See, this is the drama I wanted you to see."

Shu Wan shook her head helplessly, "Alright, you’ve played for so long, you should go to sleep."

"Sure," this time Fu Yang was quite obedient, "Sleeping now, we’ll play again tomorrow."

After logging off, Shu Wan didn’t go straight to sleep, but instead returned a call to Wang Tian. Wang Tian had already tried calling her twice during the game.

"Little ancestor, I thought you’d gone to sleep."

Judging by Wang Tian’s tone, it probably wasn’t anything particularly urgent. Shu Wan put her phone aside and applied a facial mask.

"No, just busy. What’s up?"

"You gotta tell me, that Film and Television City, isn’t it owned by Fu Siyu?"

"Yes."

"Phew," Wang Tian visibly sighed in relief, "Then I can rest assured. Mr. Fu would certainly not stand by idly."

"What happened to the Film and Television City?"

"After you left this afternoon, someone else came by, saying that the construction was illegal and ordered a shutdown for rectification. They’re sending people to do renovations tomorrow, not allowing the crew to continue shooting."

Shu Wan had already finished her scenes in "Qingcheng," but the others probably needed another week of time.

The other party had probably counted on the fact that Shu Wan wouldn’t be going back to the "Qingcheng" crew, so they decided to play hardball.

"I’ll have someone pay attention to that."

"Good, then I can rest easy. You should also go to bed early."

"Hmm."

Knowing that Li Si was capable, Shu Wan informed him about the issue with the Film and Television City and didn’t follow up.

But as luck would have it, Li Si was on a business trip abroad at the time, and even his tough subordinates were no match for the Zeng Family backing the "Shushan" crew.

The next morning, someone drove an excavator straight into the Film and Television City, destroying a bunch of sets.

What’s worse, because of the conflict, members of the crew even ended up in the hospital.
