Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

"That's true. So, what price is Mr. Gu planning to offer to redeem your man?"

The situation reversed in seconds. Zhou Ye didn't take Gu Xingran's approach seriously, but she struck him decisively. By the time he realized what was happening, the dagger was already at his neck.

The well-trained bodyguards she brought rescued Sheng Yunzhou and the actress.

"President Gu is a heroine among women, I admire her." Mr. Zhou leaned back in his chair, not flustered at all even with his neck being pressed against him, and even found it somewhat amusing.

Qiao Yun took over and restrained him. Gu Xingran straightened up with a dagger in her hand and plunged it into his thigh: "Master Zhou, although you won't have the chance to do this again, I have to tell you that messing with my people will come at a price."

"Hahaha, Mr. Gu, you're a beauty living in the sunlight, but you still don't understand us people in the gutter. You think you can take me away?" The man laughed wildly. He was forcing people to take drugs here, but the people behind this place wouldn't let him be taken away.

Gu Xingran drew her dagger, turned and left. The bodyguards released the people they were holding and took a few steps back warily.

"Xiang Yun has indeed raised a good daughter." Old Sheng's eyes were full of praise: "I am ashamed of myself. You unfilial son, I'll take you with me."

Gu Xingran stood in front of him: "Can you really teach him properly if you take him away?"

"What?" Old Sheng was stunned. "He's my son. He made such a big mistake, almost causing me to lose so much money. Shouldn't he be disciplined?"

"Uncle Sheng, didn't you investigate before you came? He was tricked into coming here; it's a scam targeting him."

"No matter the reason, a mistake is a mistake. We need to teach him a lesson so that he won't make the same mistake again."

"You've been teaching for over twenty years, have you taught it clearly?"

"I am his father!"

"No one denies this, but you can't be unreasonable."

"You," he turned to his son, "Sheng Yunzhou, come here."

Sheng Yunzhou reflexively flinched, glanced at Gu Xingran, and said, "I'm not going."

"You bastard, you've gone too far!"

"Alright, let's talk outside." Gu Xingran raised her hand to check the time, interrupting the father and son's conversation. Neither the old nor the young knows any better; is this a place to argue?

Sheng Yunzhou's senior suddenly rushed over: "President Gu, take me away! Yunzhou, I'm your senior!"

Gu Xingran pretended not to hear. Sheng Yunzhou paused for a moment, realizing that he had been tricked by his senior. Without turning back, he left.

The process of leaving was smooth. Several service staff glanced at their queue and said with smiles, "Come again next time."

As the group of people stepped out of the parking lot, police sirens suddenly blared all around them.

Startled, Mr. Sheng instinctively looked at Gu Xingran first. In the darkness and by the lamplight, he couldn't see her expression clearly, but he saw her calmly turn around and look at the place she had just come from, pat Sheng Yunzhou's arm, signaling him to get in the car, and then talk to the actress she had brought along.

"I have three sons, and even if you put them all together, they might not be as good as Xiang Yun's one daughter." Old Sheng muttered to himself, "That Su guy is really lucky. He married such a capable woman in his second marriage, and she even brought such an outstanding stepdaughter. If it weren't for Gu Xingran, his stupid son would have been devoured to pieces."

Gu Xingran spoke to the actress, saying, "They're targeting Yunzhou. How did you get dragged into this?"

"Don't even mention it. I noticed the director was acting suspiciously, like he was trying to harm Mr. Sheng, so I wanted to warn him. But as soon as I got a chance, before I could even speak, I was forcibly brought here, and I never got a chance to say anything after that," the actress said, her face pale. She had been in the industry for several years and had seen some of the dirty tricks, but today's scene really frightened her.

"Kindness is a good thing, but if you don't have the ability to match your kindness, then just mind your own business." Gu Xingran turned to Qiao Yun and said, "Give her one of my business cards."

"My contact information is here. You can call me if you encounter any danger in the future."

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Gu." A blush rose on the actress's pale face.

"Is your home safe? I'll arrange for bodyguards to take you back."

"Take me back to my parents' house. They are civil servants, although they are at the grassroots level, but the apartment they live in is a house that was allocated to them before, so it's very safe."

Gu Xingran gestured to Qiao Yun to arrange a car to take her home, and then got in the car and left first.

The actress covered her chest with the business card and watched Mr. Gu's luxury car drive away before getting into her own car.

Old Sheng had already left long ago.

At Gu Xingran's house, Sheng Yunzhou stood at the door with his head down, saying, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"What did I do wrong?" Gu Xingran asked casually as she changed her shoes and took off her coat.

"You shouldn't go to places like that."

"Weren't you tricked into going?"

"I shouldn't have trusted my senior, and I shouldn't have tried to help him." Sheng Yunzhou was a little sad. His senior said that an investment in one of his films had been stalled, and the original investor wanted to get to know the Sheng family. He wanted to act as a go-between to secure the investment.

Sheng Yunzhou initially refused, as he didn't care about his family's company. However, his senior pleaded with him, saying it was just a short visit and there was no guarantee of immediate collaboration. But if his film didn't receive investment, it would be cut halfway through filming.

Since he was a senior he had known for many years, he couldn't bring himself to refuse, and that's how things turned out.

"That's a mistake. I remember you agreed to stop working with that senior of yours." Gu Xingran sat on the sofa and patted the spot next to her. "Don't stand there, come and sit down."

Sheng Yunzhou took off his shoes and socks, as well as his coat, and sat on the sofa with a stiff posture, his hands neatly placed on his lap.

"Alright, it's normal to get scammed; everyone gets scammed sometimes."

"You don't blame me?" Sheng Yunzhou's eyes were red as he looked up at her.

"Not really, it's a bit troublesome to deal with, but you were also deceived, and you were deceived because of your kindness."

Sheng Yunzhou pouted and reached out to hug her, but Gu Xingran poked a finger at his forehead: "You smell awful."

"Ranran~"

"Being cute doesn't work, she really stinks."

"I'm going to take a shower, wait for me, wait for me." Sheng Yunzhou took off his clothes as he walked towards the bathroom. By the time he reached the door, he was completely undressed and turned back to look at her: "Wait for me, I'll be there soon."

Gu Xingran thought to herself, "Good-looking people have an advantage. With such a broad back and wasp waist, should I give her a couple of slaps on her round buttocks?"

In less than ten minutes, Sheng Yunzhou emerged wearing only a small bath towel, his hair dripping wet.

"Hug." Sheng Yunzhou went straight to Gu Xingran, who had been sitting on the sofa, and buried his face in the crook of her neck.

Gu Xingran let him hug her for a while, then pushed him away, saying, "I want to take a shower."

Sheng Yunzhou, with water droplets clinging to his eyelashes, stared blankly at her, got up and followed her, only to be locked out of the bathroom.
