Chapter 1338 - Walking In The Backlight (14)

Liang Che did not return to himself for a long time. He was a little confused as to whether what she said was true or not.

Why did she want to kill Cui Jingyang?

What did Cui Jingyang do to her?

She was a popular and promising movie queen, but now had arrived at a situation where she didn’t even have an assistant…

Was it caused by Cui Jingyang?

Liang Che was late to catch on that she seemed to be an artist at the entertainment company under Hengfeng Group.

The more Liang Che thought about it, the worse he felt.

Ming Shu did not intend to explain to him what grudge was between her and Cui Jingyang.

“Don’t put yourself in danger,” Liang Che said. “Also, don’t tackle Cui Jingyang rashly. He has a complicated background.”

That Hengfeng Group could grow into the present big brother in the industry, were their means clear and clean?

“Are you worried about me?”

Liang Che: “…”

Who’s worried about you!

I’m not worried about you!

“Then you should follow me. It’s your job anyway.”

“…”

Liang Che sent Ming Shu back to her apartment. He stood outside the building for a long time before leaving.

[Liang: How’s the thing I asked you to look into going?]

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: Ah? What thing, Brother Liang?]

[Liang: Wen Di.]

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: …]

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: Brother Liang, didn’t you tell me not to follow up then? And so long has passed, those black histories about Wen Di have been out of the public’s sight…]

That’s the way it is in showbiz.

Today someone cheats, and tomorrow someone else might fall in love.

The winds changed fast.

Those artists who had been exposed to negative news could come out and continue to make money as long as they stayed out of the way for some time.

[Liang: Keep looking. I need to know.]

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: …]

Was Brother Liang playing him?

Last time he suddenly asked him to do some investigation, but when he’d just started, he sent another message saying there was no need to investigate.

To add credibility, he attached a screenshot which read clearly: No investigation then.

[Liang: Your bonus is forfeited this month.]

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: ???]

What did he do wrong!

Why?

…

Ming Shu needed to go to the company today. Her contract with the company had expired.

Of course, it was impossible to renew the contract. The company had been giving her the cold shoulder for some time, which was a good indication of the superiors’ attitudes.

Seeing Ming Shu, Du Mei helped her go through the necessary formalities without demur.

Ming Shu came out of the company and saw Liang Che’s car. She stood in the shade for a moment, then got straight into his car.

“What a coincidence, were you passing by again?”

Liang Che started the car, his voice indifferent. “Didn’t you ask me to follow you? Where to?”

Ming Shu raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Go back to the apartment. I’m a hobo now.” The drama Director He had mentioned to her hadn’t officially started auditions yet.

Liang Che drove to her apartment without saying a word. Ming Shu asked him to drive in and got an access permission from the security guard for him incidentally.

“There are a lot of stars living here. Don’t you need to thank me?”

Liang Che parked the car in the garage, shut off the engine, and turned to look at Ming Shu. “We don’t have enough people these days. I don’t usually come out.”

“Oh, I’m so lucky.” Ming Shu pushed open the car door and stepped outside.

Liang Che: “…”

Why could she be so shameless?

Liang Che prepared to leave, but saw her return.

Her long fingers curled and tapped on the window.

After waiting several seconds, Liang Che rolled down the window. “What else…”

The following words were interrupted.

Liang Che was forced to hold his head up and take her kiss.

“I forgot to pay the fare.” Ming Shu pecked him lightly several times. “Young brother, do you want to go up with me?”

Liang Che was flustered. “I still have something to do… ”

Ming Shu released him and stepped back.

Liang Che immediately started the car and accidentally hit the post behind him. After a wave of disorderly operations, the car was finally out of sight.

Driving out of the apartment complex, Liang Che drove some distance, then suddenly stepped on the brakes.

He gasped with his mouth open, as if he had not been breathing after coming out of the garage.

Liang Che leaned on the steering wheel, his face buried in his arms.

Without knowing how long had passed, he finally moved and raised his head slowly.

Reaching for his phone from the side, he clicked on the paparazzo who had just been docked his prize money.

[Liang: What’s it like to like someone?]

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: Mew mew mew?]

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: Brother Liang, what happened? Are you thinking of falling in love?]

[Liang: Your salary.]

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: The feeling of liking someone is like when you see her, your heartbeat will speed up. She’s the best in the world, and she does everything right. If you can’t see her, you will miss her. When you see her, you can’t help but want to kiss her, hug her, and hold her tight.]

A Good Infection of the Wicked sent back a long paragraph in a whoosh. Clearly he was using his life to save his salary.

Liang Che carefully read this paragraph several times.

Every time those people in the studio analyzed the love of a star or a TV show, some even found it touching.

But he was not touched at all.

Not only love, but other feelings seemed to be dispensable to him.

He always felt that he was a man without feelings.

But…

Why did he meet her?

He did not even remember when he started to hold her in his heart.

Liang Che sat alone in the car until the light outside dimmed.

Buzz buzz buzz—

The phone vibrated and woke him up.

Liang Che answered the phone, his voice a little hoarse. “Yes?”

“Brother Liang!” the person on the other end shouted. “Check Weibo!”

Liang Che: “…”

The top search on Weibo:

#Wen Di Met Her Lover At Midnight#

Liang Che stared at the title for several seconds, fingers trembling, and slowly clicked it.

Pictures downloading…

When the picture popped up, Liang Che felt himself breathe a sigh of relief.

It was not anyone else.

It was a picture of her holding his hand last night. The night photo was a little blurry, but Ming Shu didn’t disguise herself and could be recognized at a glance.

There were also several other pictures.

There were even pictures of him and her sitting together to have steak at the hotel.

The last picture was of her kissing him in the garage.

The angle was perfect, and both of them were very clear in the photo.

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: Brother Liang, you are on the top search!]

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: About the question you asked me just now, is the person you like Wen Di?]

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: Ahhhh, this is crazy. They all say you are her kept man.]

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: Don’t let me know who did it!]

[A Good Infection the Wicked: What the sh*t, Wen Di posted on Weibo.]

Liang Che logged onto Weibo.

The latest moment was posted a minute ago.

[Wen Di V: It’s my kept young brother, so what’s the problem? @Reaching The Moon Studio @Liang Che V.]

Liang Che had to admit, seeing her @ him, his heart was overwhelmed with joy.

But what did she mean by saying that she kept him?

When did she keep him!

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: Brother Liang, what does that mean? Why am I so confused?]

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: What does that “kept” mean?]

He knew this word, but he didn’t understand it when it was used in relation to Brother Liang.

Was he still the Brother Liang he knew?

[Liang: Half of your salary is deducted.]

[A Good Infection of the Wicked: …]

[Liang Che V: … // Wen Di V: It’s my kept young brother, so what’s the problem? @Reaching The Moon Studio @Liang Che V. Liang Che V]

Liang Che reposted the moment with an ellipsis. Then he leaned back and closed his eyes slightly.

He was doomed.
