Chapter 2339 - 2342: Even an Unintentional Act Can Smack the First Young Master's Face

Thousands of kilometers away, in a luxurious restaurant, the well-dressed Gong Ziyi, exceptionally gentlemanly, helped the stunning actress Song Weiyin pull out her chair, invited her to sit down, then walked over to the seat opposite her and sat down. He then smiled at the stunning Song Weiyin and said, "Filming must be tiring."

The stunning actress Song Weiyin smiled slightly and said, "Protecting me is even more tiring."

Gong Ziyi smiled and said, "That's exactly what I wanted to talk about. In fact, after my thorough investigation, it has been confirmed that the person who placed a five-billion cash bounty on your head on the Bounty Hunters platform is actually the man you like the most, Shen Qiang."

Song Weiyin was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.

Gong Ziyi smiled and said seriously, "So he's a bastard, you absolutely must not trust him."

The stunning actress Song Weiyin silently looked at him, seemingly having something to say, but the words seemed to be swallowed just as they reached her lips.

"But you don't have to worry, it's all over now," Gong Ziyi smiled and said. "I've already made a public announcement in the Cultivation World, telling all cultivators that I am protecting you, so you don't have to worry about those blind bounty hunters coming to harm you again."

"Moreover, I will now call the Bounty Hunters platform to exert pressure on them to cancel the task."

Hearing this, the stunning actress Song Weiyin was taken aback and said, "Gong Ziyi, there's no need for that."

"We have to. If this task isn't canceled, you'll always be in danger, so this matter must be dealt with now," Gong Ziyi said seriously. "And the reason for doing this is because I feel I must uncover the true face of the scum Shen Qiang in front of you."

The stunning actress Song Weiyin looked at Gong Ziyi in a daze, hesitantly saying, "There's no need for that. Knowing you're protecting me, those bounty hunters won't dare to come."

"Money isn't the root of all evil, poverty is," Gong Ziyi said. "Someone who is well-fed and clothed won't think of stealing a bun, but if he's starving and freezing, he will take the risk even if heavy guards are around. So, make the call."

Hearing this, the old man standing by immediately made the call.

The heart of the stunning actress Song Weiyin skipped a beat. In fact, she had long known that the bounty task was issued by Shen Qiang, aiming to delay Gong Ziyi, ensuring that in the short term, Gong Ziyi wouldn't launch retaliation against Shen Qiang's Heshenghe. But once this matter was canceled, Gong Ziyi, unrestrained, would undoubtedly start a fight with Shen Qiang immediately!

"There's no need for that, Gong Ziyi. I can handle this myself. Besides, you're still here to protect me," the stunning Song Weiyin said.

Gong Ziyi smiled, and said earnestly, "Actually, I've been thinking about this a lot over the past few days, especially after you asked me yesterday if I really lacked women. I thought about it seriously for a long time, then I was surprised to find out that I seemed to have gotten some things wrong."

"Gong Ziyi, the call connected."

At this moment, the old man interrupted Gong Ziyi, placing the phone in front of him.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Hearing the voice from the phone, Gong Ziyi smiled, picked up the phone, and calmly said, "I know you're the manager of the Bounty Hunters platform. I'm Gong Ziyi. I think you should know who I am, so I'll skip the nonsense. I'm giving you three hours to cancel the bounty on Song Weiyin, or I will use all means to deal with you. The mirage will be stopped at every turn, and many of your operations will suffer."

There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a moment, a hoarse, deep male voice took over the call.

"Gong Ziyi, you play the act well. I'd give you full marks, but you'll be disappointed. The Bounty Hunters platform does not accept threats from anyone."

Gong Ziyi coldly laughed, "Are you saying we are about to start a war?"

"No, you misunderstand. We don't accept any threats, but regarding the bounty on Miss Song Weiyin, I feel it's necessary to remind you, that it has already been canceled. If you want to show off in front of Miss Song Weiyin, I think your timing is good, but threatening us is not wise."

"Canceled?" Gong Ziyi was instantly stunned.

"Hey, make it clear, when was it canceled?" Gong Ziyi's face turned ashen.

"You don't know?" The person on the other end of the phone sneered. "Ten minutes ago, so there's nothing else, goodbye, my dear sir!"

With that said, the phone was already hung up.

Gong Ziyi's face turned ashen after calling out a couple of times.

The old man, worried he might throw the phone in anger, quickly took the phone away from him and said, "Calm down."

Gong Ziyi took a deep breath, then said, "Song Weiyin, let me explain, things are not what you think, I'm not shameless enough to, upon knowing the task was canceled, do this kind of thing to show off in front of you."

His anxiety and explanation made the stunning Song Weiyin's pretty face involuntarily show a hint of a smile.

Because almost the moment she heard the bounty had been canceled, Song Weiyin realized that Shen Qiang must have completed what he needed to do, no longer needing to hold off Gong Ziyi.

After all, given Gong Ziyi's capabilities, he absolutely wouldn't use such underhanded means to show off in front of her.

Because he himself is the number one son in the Cultivation World.

"I believe you. You don't need to resort to such means, and I know, you're not that kind of person at all," the stunning actress Song Weiyin comforted.

Gong Ziyi's expression looked much better upon hearing this.

But then, Gong Ziyi's eyes turned cold and he said, "The only one who can cancel this task so smoothly is the issuer of the bounty, it's Shen Qiang. He canceled the task!"

He suddenly turned his head, looking at the old man next to him, and urgently said, "Prepare the plane immediately, we need to leave right away."

"Okay, Gong Ziyi, I'll arrange it immediately. The plane can take off in twenty minutes."

"Go prepare the car."

With Gong Ziyi's words, the old man immediately left.

After he left, Gong Ziyi looked very apologetically at Song Weiyin and said, "I'm sorry, I may not be able to accompany you to dinner, I have something important I must leave for immediately."

Fully aware the bounty was issued by Shen Qiang, Song Weiyin felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, urgently saying, "Gong Ziyi, I know you are going to the Provincial City, to give trouble to Heshenghe, could you please listen to me and not fight with him?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyi frowned, surprised, and said, "Weiyin, are you stupid? You're being used by him, do you understand? It's Shen Qiang who put a bounty on your head, you love him so much, but he wants you dead. A scumbag like that, tearing him to pieces wouldn't be excessive, yet you still speak for him?"

Hearing this, the stunning actress Song Weiyin hesitated slightly, then hurriedly said, "It's not what you think, don't be mad at me, okay? Can you let me explain, Shen Qiang is not a scumbag!"
