After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 44 The Half-Male Owner of Xinghua Lane

Puppet Man Livestream Room.

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Liufeng left the stage amidst the attention of everyone, and Gao Jing, the "tool man," reappeared in the live broadcast room wearing a puppet mask: "Next, please welcome our second top guest—Guan Muying, the top of the Four Dan Actresses who topped various charts with her song 'I Don't Love the Golden House' and won awards left and right with her film 'Nine-Layered Tower'!"

Twenty-year-old Guan Muying appeared in the live broadcast room wearing a formal dress and greeted everyone familiarly. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but the temperament that came with her privileged family background was very charming.

"Hello everyone, this is your Guan Guan! Today, I'll be taking over from Jiang Yingdi to warm up our Puppet Man live stream for the second time! I've brought four of my songs. Also, well, I'm not as outspoken as Jiang Yingdi, so between songs, I can share my skincare tips and chat about those interesting international shows I've been to recently..."

[Guan Muying! What an aloof woman! Didn't she confidently declare in her last interview that she wouldn't accept any gigs other than singing and acting?]

[Shh—Rumor has it that this Guan Muying is the daughter of a super-rich family in the capital. She's rich, powerful, and incredibly willful. But this time, it's said that the invitation was personally extended by Li Yubai's personal assistant… In the entire capital, which woman doesn't want to sleep with Li Yubai! Now that a ladder has finally appeared, why don't they hurry up and climb over…]

But I heard that the socialites in the capital don't associate with her, and seem to look down on her...

I heard that her mother was a mistress who rose to power through adultery, and it was quite a scandal twenty years ago...

[Rumors! All rumors! They just can't stand how outstanding my official is!]

[It seems the Jiang family, to which Actor Jiang belongs, is sworn enemies with the official family! Did you guys see that just now? Actor Jiang didn't even glance at her when he left...]

[I heard that twenty years ago, Jiang Yingdi's sister married into an official's family and then lost her life. Before she died, the current official's wife had already entered the house heavily pregnant...]

What does the grudges of the previous administration have to do with Guan Guan? She's innocent! She's already tried her best, can't you just focus on her good points?

……

Guan Muying looked at the screen full of comments, her expression not very pleasant. She'd always had more haters than fans in the industry. But being famous for being controversial is still fame, so she forced a smile and started singing for everyone, her voice sweet and delicate, continuing the soft, gentle style of "Golden House."

In the villa garden outside the live broadcast room, Jiang Liufeng glanced at his assistant Gao with a calm expression:
"Others may not know, but you don't know about the feud between the Jiang family and the official family either? Since you've already invited her, why bother inviting me?"

“The matter is quite urgent. Among the big-name celebrities, only a few of you can come to the rescue within three hours—if you really find it annoying, I’ll give you some dirt that can kill Guan Muying later.”

"Did she offend you?"

"No, not at all." Assistant Gao's eyes showed a hint of disdain. "It's just that I can't stand it."

Jiang Liufeng paused for a moment: "I don't want the dirt you gave her. The Li family has many connections and resources. Since I'm just here to make up the numbers today, can you help me find someone?"

"Who are you looking for?"

"My sister."

Assistant Gao raised an eyebrow: "Didn't he die twenty years ago?"

“Eight years ago, I met someone in the chaotic area of ​​F country. Although her appearance had changed drastically, many of her little actions were exactly the same as hers.” Jiang Liufeng said somewhat irritably. “At that time, I was kidnapped, and she helped me deal with the kidnappers and then left without a trace. I tried many methods afterward, but I couldn’t find that person again.”

“Finding a dead person is very difficult.” Assistant Gao didn’t give a guarantee. “I can only say I’ll try my best.”

“Oh, right,” Jiang Liufeng pondered, “when I saw her, she was wearing the same cloak as you are…”

Assistant Gao glanced at the time: "Twenty minutes are almost up. I've remembered your request and will do my best. Now, why don't you come with me to the entrance to meet someone?"

Jiang Liufeng asked curiously, "Who are you picking up?"

Assistant Gao exclaimed, "If I told you it was Yan Yu, would you believe me?"

A discreet van slowly pulled up in front of Li Yubai's villa in Xinghua Lane. Inside, the agent cautiously observed the handsome young man's aloof profile, wondering what kind of temper this little tyrant was throwing.

"Yan Yu, with your status in the entertainment industry, you really don't need to come to a small live broadcast room in person..."

The young man raised his clear eyes and replied indifferently, "I'll stand up for her."

A figure emerged from the villa, the door of the van opened, and Yan Yu stepped out with her long legs. She was still wearing her concert dress, which she hadn't had time to change out of, and a silver violin earring shimmered in the night.

Assistant Gao and Jiang Liufeng waited quietly for Yan Yu to get out of the car. Then Assistant Gao extended his hand: "I didn't expect you to personally request to participate in the Puppet Show's live broadcast. Welcome."

"Has the person who reported the fake liquor been caught?" the boy asked, voicing his most pressing question.

“Got him.” Gao Jing nodded. “Would you like to meet my boss first? He’s on the second floor right now. He said you’re practically half the owner of Xinghua Lane, so let’s all have a meal together.”

As for why the BOSS suddenly said that Yan Yu was half a master, Gao Jing still hasn't figured it out. Maybe he can talk to Assistant Yang about it later.

Assistant Gao was inwardly excited, but his expression remained very serious. Just before entering the live broadcast room, he put on the puppet mask again and loosened his cloak...

After singing her last song, Guan Muying shared some harmless anecdotes before leaving the live stream. She was in a terrible mood today. She had been attending a very important banquet in a nearby city, but after receiving a call from Assistant Gao, she rushed over, leaving behind all her guests. In the end, she didn't even get to see Li Yubai, and Assistant Gao was rather cold and indifferent. To make matters worse, she bumped into Jiang Liufeng from the Jiang family, the Guan family's nemesis!
Jiang Liufeng spends all his time thinking about how to kill the official family; everyone in the capital knows it!

But her bad mood vanished instantly when she saw the hottest handsome young man who followed Gao Jing in!

She knew perfectly well how much of her popularity was genuine, while the boy in front of her was a super top star that even ten of her combined couldn't match!

If Li Yubai is the unattainable white moonlight of the capital's socialites, then the young man before them is the cinnabar mark that haunts their dreams! He is deeply etched in their hearts, their souls are clearly captivated by his beauty, yet they dare not be presumptuous!
Guan Muying's eyes immediately lit up with fervor, and she greeted him familiarly, "Yan Yu—"

The boy didn't even glance at her. As he walked past her, he clearly dodged to the side as if he had seen something dirty!
In the live stream, the puppeteer Gao Jing began warming up the audience: "For our third guest, feel free to guess! Here are a few hints: He's the dream lover of millions of girls! He's a versatile stage performer! He has an angelic face and an enchanting, elfin voice... He is—"

【Ahhh! Yan Yu! It's Yan Yu!】

[It can't be Yan Yu! He was holding a concert in Shanghai just three hours ago! He had several movie appearances just two hours ago! Host, don't try to ride on Yan Yu's coattails! Not just anyone deserves to be the dream of millions of girls!]

[If Yan Yu really comes to the live stream today, I'll immediately kneel down and kowtow three times to the streamer, and become a die-hard fan from this day forward!]

……

Gao Jing raised his voice: "That is him, Yan Yu!"

A handsome young man wearing a gold and silver sequined performance costume appeared on the screen.

The boy still had makeup on his brows, and his doe-like almond eyes were like those of a mountain spirit, carrying a hint of aloofness and innocence, yet shining brightly into people's hearts.

The comments section is going crazy!

[Yan Yu! It really is! Oh my god, my whole body went limp!]

[Yan Yu! My husband! Ahhh! He's still wearing the same tuxedo he wore to his Shanghai concert three hours ago! What have I done to deserve this? That my husband would drop everything to come to my live stream and come all the way here with me!]

……

Yan Yu did not look at the live stream chat.

The boy smiled obediently yet distantly: "I'll sing a few songs for everyone in twenty minutes. After that, I will give everyone an explanation regarding the incident of the puppet livestream selling counterfeit alcohol!"

As the last sentence fell, the boy's usually eccentric expression instantly turned sharp!
