Those who reincarnate must die.

Le Xinyi and Qin Jie had never met before, but upon learning that the other had also been Zhang Lang's one-night stand, they were filled with emotion and felt an instant connection!

"Oh, this guy, he's so self-centered!" Ye Peng muttered, pursing his lips...

"That's right!" Xie Yun-kui complained as well, "They just do whatever they want without even consulting anyone!"

"But their strength is truly formidable!" Su Mingda couldn't help but exclaim. "Their efficiency in completing missions is incredibly high!"

"I admire that the most!" Peng Junxiu was the first to declare, patting his chest. "The hunter will always be my big brother! A big brother has to be hot-tempered and unreasonable!"

"I feel that Mr. Hunter is much more easygoing this time than before!" Michiko said with a light smile. "That murderous aura he had before is almost completely gone!"

"That's because he's toned it down..." Le Xinyi shook her head, then recalled the threatening look in Zhang Lang's eyes when she first caught him in real life.

"The most terrifying thing is its ability to control its power at will!" Qin Jie nodded. "Before, at least we could see its strength, but now we can't gauge its depth, which means it might be even stronger!"

"It's also more dangerous now..." Su Mingda nodded...

As they were talking, Zhang Lang returned, and everyone in the room immediately fell silent.

Zhang Lang's gaze swept over them: "I heard everything."

Everyone involuntarily sat up straighter, and some sweat broke out on their foreheads...

"Don't be nervous..." Zhang Lang waved his hand, "I'm a very kind person!"

"Nobody would believe that..."

Although no one spoke, for some reason, the sound seemed to echo throughout the room. Only then, when the servants brought out the late-night snack, did the awkwardness ease…

"We've met before..." While enjoying the delicacies at the Earl's manor, Qin Jie explained his purpose: "Brother Hunter, it's fate that we met this time. How about we cooperate and make more profits in this mission?"

Upon hearing this, Le Xinyi, Ye Peng, and Su Mingda were all taken aback and exchanged glances...

Noticing this, Zhang Lang turned to Qin Jie and said, "Sorry, I already have an ally this time!"

"Oh dear..." Da Kui laughed heartily, "You think you have too many allies? There's strength in numbers, and we can share the benefits..."

He was speaking when Michiko tugged at his sleeve, and Daiki paused, falling silent.

"It seems we're a bit late..." Michiko nodded and smiled. "However, I hope we can maintain a friendly relationship during this mission... Please don't hesitate to ask if we need your help. Similarly, if we encounter any difficulties, we might need your assistance..."

"Of course!" Zhang Lang nodded. "I still remember Da Kui's kindness!"

"You flatter me!" Qin Jie laughed. "Without you on that mission, the rest of us would have died at the hands of those wanted criminals long ago. A mere rare-level enhancement is hardly enough to express our gratitude!"

Once the conversation was out in the open, Qin Jie and the others stopped mentioning cooperation and instead chatted casually with Le Xinyi's group. Le Xinyi relaxed and quickly discovered Peng Junxiu's disguise.

"You...you wouldn't happen to be that big star, Peng Junxiu, would you?"

Because of his public identity, Peng Junxiu had used the alias Zhang Peng since his first mission when he was inexperienced and revealed his real name. Now that he had been recognized, he stopped trying to hide it and nodded in acknowledgment, "It's me!"

"It really is you!" Le Xinyi was a little surprised, but compared to the other girls, Ye Peng seemed more excited.

"Oh! I heard you've joined the same film crew as Song Yiwen?"

"Yes!" It wasn't a secret, Peng Junxiu nodded in acknowledgment: "This isn't our first time working together. There was a big difference in billing order before, but this time I'm just the second male lead, and she's the female lead, so it's not too far off..."

"We see each other all the time, and we even have scenes together!" Ye Peng said enviously. "Could you get me an autographed photo or something... oh my!"

Le Xinyi stepped on his foot from below, and Ye Peng only realized what was happening after wincing in pain: "It's nothing, it's nothing, just kidding..."

Asking for an autographed photo implies a real-world connection, which might even involve Zhang Lang's real-world identity, so caution is advised...

"That's not difficult..." Peng Junxiu continued, "Judging from your age, you're probably still students, right? You're welcome to visit the film studio sometime; I'll look after you!"

"Is the rumor about Song Yiwen and Xiao Han true?" Ye Peng, also interested in gossip, continued to press, "I remember you've worked with Xiao Han before, right? Could it be that our Wenwen has really been ruined by that pretty boy?"

"What do you mean by 'troublemaker'?" Yue Xinyi chimed in, "Xiao Han is handsome too, okay? Even though his acting is a little lacking..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Zhang Lang.

As someone who experienced it firsthand, she must also know the origin of the movie "Sunset Fortress," and the character played by Xiao Han is actually Zhang Lang.

However, both the character's appearance and the sense of power and impact during the battles are quite different from the original. So, despite having a stunningly handsome face that drives countless girls crazy, Le Xinyi still felt a bit awkward about the male lead when watching the movie.

"According to Xiao Han's previous statement, there was indeed a tiny bit of ambiguity between them..." Peng Junxiu dropped a bombshell: "It was probably sparks that flew during the filming of Sunset Fortress, but after the promotional activities ended and the movie was released, their relationship cooled off... However, Xiao Han's team doesn't seem to want to let go of this buzz, and they've released quite a few press releases promoting them as a couple..."

"I knew it was that shameless Xiao Han clinging to Xiao Wenwen!" Ye Peng exclaimed indignantly upon hearing the news, then asked Peng Junxiu, "How far have you gone with this ambiguous relationship? It can't be that it's already...?"

"I wouldn't know about that!" Peng Junxiu shrugged. "But this time, working with Song Yiwen, I had more contact with her than usual... Based on my feeling... Xiao Han is mostly bragging!"

"Huh?" Now both Yue Xinyi and Ye Peng were curious: "Why do you say that?"

"How should I put it, Song Yiwen? She's unlike anyone I've met before. It's hard to describe the feeling, but I just feel that she could never be interested in Xiao Han... or even anyone else!"

"That's for sure!" Ye Peng breathed a sigh of relief. "My little Wenwen is just that proud! She won't be tainted by the filth and corruption of the entertainment industry!"

"It's not arrogance!" Peng Junxiu denied. "At least she's quite polite in private, even to the point of being a bit distant... but I think that's normal, considering her background..."

"What's your background?"

"Huh?" Peng Junxiu was taken aback, realizing he had said too much. "It's nothing... don't worry about it, don't worry about it..."

"Ughhhh..." Ye Peng scratched his head, "It's so frustrating to only say half of what you're saying..."

Peng Junxiu laughed and said, "Anyway, don't worry. Unless Song Yiwen is willing herself, there shouldn't be anyone in the industry who would dare to force her to do anything... At least you can tell from the fact that she never does kissing or bed scenes, right? As far as I know, your idol shouldn't have any scandals!"

Hearing this, Ye Peng felt completely relieved...

Seeing the kid's expression as if he had ascended to heaven, Zhang Lang couldn't help but frown. Xiao Qiang was like this, Ye Peng was like this too, this Song Yiwen, what great charm she has.
