Chapter 141: I Am, So What?

Yu Shijin had maintained such a low profile for so many years, but had recently been popping up all over in Green City.

The chiefs of all the other departments knew who he was.

Likewise, the subdivision chief didn’t dare to offend him in any way.

Under Anxien’s disbelieving eyes, she was once again arrested and dragged inside.

Angie had clearly noticed this.

She kept looking to and fro Yu Shijin and Su Huiqing, as an astonished light appeared in her eyes.

Not many people could make Anxien suffer in this manner.

The pager which she had taken out earlier beeped.

She lowered her gaze and saw a new message: Angie, why did you provoke Anxien even though I told you not to? Let this be a lesson to you!

Angie’s eyes frosted over. She should have known these people would choose not to rescue her.

In such a moment, those so-called relatives of hers could not even compare to these people standing in front of her. Folks whom she had just met.

Taking out a cigarette from her pocket, she calmly lit it.

The end of her cigarette butt glowed.

But before she could take a puff, it was snatched away by someone.

With one hand still in her pocket, Su Huiqing was now holding the cigarette that had been between Angie’s lips. Her face was slightly tilted and she looked very cold.

Angie stared at her in shock.

Su Huiqing tossed the cigarette to the ground and stamped it out. She said nonchalantly, “Smoking is bad for your health.”

Only Angie, who stood the closest to her, could see the profound chilliness in the depths of those eyes.

Angie was stunned.

Before she could react, a whole packet of chewing gum was placed in her hands.

Su Huiqing put on her earpiece again and turned to leave. She added casually. “Just eat this whenever you feel like smoking again.”

Could eating this really curb her addiction?

Angie felt like laughing.

But she saw that Su Huiqing was serious.

It was like Su Huiqing could probe into the secrets hidden deep within her heart with just one look.

It was a cool, distant face, but somehow, Angie just felt warmed by it.

She subconsciously tightened her fingers around the chewing gum. “Alright.”

After instructing the subdivision, Yu Shijin stood by the side, staying out of Su Huiqing’s way.

Chief detective, who had followed Yu Shijin here, was somewhat shocked when he saw Su Huiqing give Angie the chewing gum. A chill crossed his heart, and he turned to look at Yu Shijin.

But Yu Shijin remained impassive.

It was like he already predicted Su Huiqing would give the gum to Angie.

For the first time ever, doubt surfaced in the Chief detective’s mind. Boss looked so harsh and cold when he boarded the car… why did he seem like a totally different person now?

For the first time ever, he realized that no one could ever fathom what was truly inside Yu Shijin’s mind.

“Get in the car.” Yu Shijin noticed Su Huiqing wasn’t wearing a jacket, and so opened the car door to let her board the vehicle.

He then instructed the Chief detective. “Make sure Ms Su’s friends get home safely.”

Angie’s heart jumped when she noticed the string of zeros on the Chief detective’s car license plate number.

Yu Xiangyang and the gang chatted familiarly with the Chief detective.

They were completely relaxed about what happened tonight.

Angie sat in the passenger seat. She suddenly realized that these people hadn’t paid any attention to Anxien.

A usually calm person, she felt flustered for the first time in her life.

She thought these people were just ordinary folks but now… who the hell were they?!

Meanwhile, inside that black car.

Su Huiqing leaned back on the passenger seat.

Wearing her earpiece, her lids were lowered slightly, masking the emotions in her eyes.

She looked as cool and placid as always.

Yu Shijin didn’t speak but steadily drove the car back to the villa.

The car came to a stop. With light shining from the villa, he clearly saw the red marks on Su Huiqing’s wrists.

He pursed his lips, his pitch-black eyes darkening.

He didn’t alight.

“Are you not getting off?” Su Huiqing asked after opening the car door.

Yu Shijin glanced up. “You go back first. I still have something to do.”

Su Huiqing watched the car depart, not noticing anything strange.

It was usual for someone in his position to be busy.

She took off her earpiece as she entered the door.

Inside the house, a bevy of servants was just bringing dishes of food to the table.

The food was still piping hot.

Su Huiqing was surprised. “Uncle Chen, how did you know I was returning now?”

Uncle Chen brought over a bowl of ginger soup. “Master Yu messaged me that you were returning in half an hour, and wanted me to prepare this bowl of ginger soup. Why are you dressed like this? Where is your jacket…”

Su Huiqing stopped listening then.

Her mind had drifted off.

She couldn’t imagine such an aristocratic and aloof man sending a message on such trivial matters.

—

The filming process of “The Victor” went very well.

But things were not as peaceful online.

Before the film even came out, Su Huiqing was already being slammed.

Firstly, the netizens believed she must have pulled some strings to get the role. She was just a high school student, how could she surpass a whole bunch of stars?

Secondly, the incident where she injured a member of the production crew was leaked out with malicious intent. Millions of netizens were turned against her, calling for her to be kicked out of the industry.

Nevertheless, the subject of all this controversy didn’t care at all.

Su Huiqing continued her life as per usual.

However, those production crew members were all miserable. They tried to defend Su Huiqing, but their comments were immediately shot down.

At the same time, Ye Zixuan and Angie both chose to stand behind Su Huiqing.

Without exception, they were likewise drowned in criticisms.

Attacked by swarms of angry anti-fans, the two of them remained unperturbed.

Su Huiqing removed her makeup and changed clothes, before leaving with Ye Zixuan.

A whole crowd of reporters surrounded the front gates to the production site.

They had all come to interview Su Huiqing.

“You leave first, I will help cover for you.” Ye Zixuan whispered by her ear.

In the past, Su Huiqing wouldn’t bother about such matters.

If she wanted to leave, none of these reporters would be able to stop her.

But this time, she shook her head at Ye Zixuan before coming to a stop.

The reporters went into a frenzy when they saw her stop. They shoved their microphones in her face. “Are you the lead actress of ‘The Victor’, Su Huiqing?”

“Are you the Su Huiqing who injured a member of the production crew?”

“…”

Casually, Su Huiqing put her hands into her pocket and tilted her head. Her eyes were cold and apathetic. “I am, so what?”
