“The people that kidnapped you wanted to use you to threaten me . Did you see the mastermind?”

Lu Zhuo replied calmly, “No . ”

His face was sincere and he faced Ming Shu’s gaze without faltering .

“Does this means that you implicated me?” Lu Zhuo raised his eyebrows . “This had nothing to do with me . As a victim that got implicated by you, shouldn’t you compensate me?”

Ming Shu thought for a while . “Is five million enough?”

Lu Zhuo’s mouth corners twitched . “I don’t want money . ”

Ming Shu added on to the price . “Ten million?”

Lu Zhuo rolled his eyes in his heart .  Do I look like a person that can be bought over by money?

“I don’t want money,” Lu Zhuo said seriously . “I want Boss Xu . ”

Ming Shu looked at him and smiled . “I am not something that can be used in a transaction . ”

“I almost died . Shouldn’t you use yourself as compensation?”

“But in reality, you didn’t die . ” Ming Shu shrugged . “Why don’t you go and die then . I will reconsider my decision . ”

Lu Zhuo: “…” Why don’t you go and die!

Why should I die!

My life is worthy too!

While Lu Zhuo was healing, he almost jumped up in anger a few times due to Ming Shu . He had already forgotten what a character profile was . He just wanted to curse at her .

Ming Shu asked him twice whether he saw the mastermind .

Lu Zhuo said that he didn’t see the mastermind at all .

It was not that he didn’t trust Ming Shu . He just felt that if he told her what happened, she might beat him .

Don’t ask him why he had that thought . It was an instinct .

Hence, in order to not get beaten, he would not admit it .

Even if Lu Zhuo didn’t say anything, Ming Shu had other ways of getting information . However, there was no concrete evidence found .

But, from the hints she got from Brother Duan, Ming Shu could somewhat guess who the mastermind was .

The police found a corpse at the scene and saved someone .

This person was none other than Xia Lian .

Xia Lian was lucky because she didn’t die . However, she was disfigured .

As a celebrity, one could only imagine the impact it would have on her .

Once Xia Lian woke up, her emotions were unstable . Even when Huo Ting came to find her, she was very agitated . She would either chase Huo Ting out of the ward or hide and refuse to see him .

Huo Ting’s patience was really something . He came to see her everyday .

“Don’t worry . Once your body has recovered, I will send you overseas . You would look the same as before . ” Huo Ting consoled Xia Lian, who was hiding under the blanket .

Huo Ting tried to pull the blanket down . “Come out first . We will slowly heal your body . ”

A bandaged hand slowly came out of the blanket and pushed the blanket down . A teary pair of eyes were revealed . “Will I really be fine?”

Huo Ting nodded . “Of course . Don’t worry . With the technology now, it won’t be a problem . You need to recover first . ”

Xia Lian pushed the blanket down further . Her entire face was covered with bandages just like a mummy .

She asked cautiously and carefully again, “You won’t leave me, right?”

“Don’t think too much . ”

Under Huo Ting’s care, Xia Lian started to recuperate obediently .

“Why were you there on that day?” Huo Ting waited for Xia Lian’s emotions to stabilize before asking this question .

Xia Lian was stunned for a moment before her heart started palpitating furiously . She shook her head fervently . “I don’t know . When I woke up, I was there already . ”

This was what she told the police when they asked her .

When she went to Osmanthus Village, she didn’t let anyone know about it . The police thought that she had been kidnapped there . Although Huo Ting had his suspicions, Xia Lian didn’t say anything at all .

When he asked too much, she would even throw a tantrum .

Once Xia Lian recovered, Huo Ting sent her overseas to treat her face instantly .

However, the doctor said that the extent of the burns was too great . Even with plastic surgery, she could not recover her face fully .

Xia Lian underwent more than a year of treatment overseas . At that time, she just started getting popular and it was normal for an artist like her to disappear from the screen . Hence, there was not much of a commotion .

Xia Lian looked at the stranger in the mirror . She felt hatred and fear .

Before that explosion… she was almost killed by Lu Zhuo .

In other words, the explosion saved her .

This whole year, Xia Lian kept herself updated on the news in China . She knew that Lu Zhuo was a really famous person in China now and after a year of development, Ming Shu’s Ancient & Modern Entertainment had surpassed Zhishang Entertainment .

Those artists that didn’t leave Beichen Entertainment, although they were not as popular as Lu Zhuo, they were all list celebrities too .

On the other hand, those artists that broke their contracts were blacklisted by Ancient & Modern Entertainment . Most of them had faded from the entertainment industry .

As for the entertainment industry now, even though Ancient & Modern Entertainment couldn’t dominate the industry yet, if they wanted to blacklist an artist, the artist would have a hard life .

Xia Lian kept a low profile as she returned .

Her first thought was to go and find Huo Ting . However, when her car stopped outside Huo Ting’s apartment, she saw Huo Ting embracing a girl with a sweet smile as he walked out of his apartment .

She knew who the girl was . No, she didn’t know her . She remembered her clearly . She was the woman that every other woman was jealous of in her world . From a country bumpkin to a famous celebrity, she always had people helping her no matter what danger she faced .

If this were a story, this person would be the main lead .

Even Xu Bei couldn’t compare to her…

Why is Huo Ting with her? In this world, she had no relationship with Huo Ting!

Xia Lian felt her body turning cold . She watched as Huo Ting and the woman got in a car and left .

Xia Lian immediately remembered how Huo Ting used to visit her often, but slowly, it became twice a week, once a week, and then once a month .

She was frustrated with her looks and she didn’t want Huo Ting to see her in this manner so she didn’t notice it at that time .

Now that she thought about it, she hadn’t seen Huo Ting in two months .

The moment she came back, she saw this…

Xia Lian waited outside Huo Ting’s apartment for him to come back . But, she didn’t see his car even when it reached midnight .

The next morning, Huo Ting’s car finally appeared . Xia Lian stopped his car .

Huo Ting got down and didn’t recognize her at first . “You…”

“Huo Ting . ”

Her voice hadn’t changed . Huo Ting changed his words . “When did you come back?”

“Huo Ting, I waited for an entire night . ” Xia Lian’s eyes were red . Her face was a little stiff since she’d just recovered so it looked a bit weird .

“Let’s go inside first . ” Huo Ting opened the door of the apartment and parked his car . He explained, “There were issues at the company so I had to work overtime and deal with it . ”

Xia Lian didn’t say anything and followed Huo Ting into the apartment .

Xia Lian scanned the apartment . This was still the home that she was familiar with . She didn’t see anything strange . She heaved a sigh of relief . Maybe… they just met coincidentally .

Xia Lian went over and hugged Huo Ting . “You didn’t come to see me for two months . ”

“The company was really busy these past two months . I didn’t have the time . ” Huo Ting pulled Xia Lian’s hands away . Xia Lian’s heart turned cold and she started to feel anxious .
