Police officers came and sealed the office shortly after Jiang Yuning left.

The vice-chairman of Emperor Entertainment was escorted away by the police officers as the employees stood and watched.

The vice-chairman himself was also still in disbelief at the sudden turn of events.

This was ridiculous. This was absolutely unbelievable.

Today marked the happiest day for Jiang Yuning ever since she entered the entertainment industry.

She could not help but howl in laughter when she thought of the expression on their faces earlier today. When she thought about how the vice-chairman had been so in shock that he had knitted his brows so tightly together, Jiang Yuning burst into tears from laughing too hard as she sat down on the sofa.

At this time, she suddenly received a phone call from Ku Jie. "Ning-ning, I have just received news that Emperor Entertainment is now under police investigation."

Jiang Yuning smiled as she sipped on her glass of red wine. "Who is so kind-hearted to help me take revenge on Emperor Entertainment?"

Ku Jie remained silent on the other side of the line.

Jiang Yuning suddenly thought of something and quickly jumped out from her seat. "Brother, is this related to Lu Jingzhi?"

"That's right."

"Actually, I am now living in Lu Jingzhi's villa. He also gave me sixty million yuan to become his woman," Jiang Yuning suddenly confessed.

Ku Jie's face flushed red with anger almost immediately. "Are you insane? He is the brother of your former fiancé. Don't we have plans to deal with the Lu family soon? He would not be really good to you."

She must really be a lunatic. Otherwise, why would she go and provoke Lu Jingzhi?

"I know but I never would have expected that Lu Jingzhi would be interested in someone like me!"

Ku Jie could not accept this, but he knew that he would not be able to stop her. Therefore, he replied Jiang Yuning with an irritated tone, "Okay, then. Do whatever you want to but make sure that you call me immediately if anything goes wrong."

"Alright! I will hang up now."

Ku Jie could not help but feel a little lost and frustrated after Jiang Yuning hung up the phone.

He understood Jiang Yuning's temper very well. Once she had decided on doing something, there was no way anyone would be able to stop her. However, he really did not understand why Lu Jingzhi would be interested in something that someone else had cast aside. What exactly was Lu Jingzhi's motive?

It was late in the middle of the night when a black car was cruising on the highway. Lu Jingzhi was on his way back to the Lu family mansion.

"Principal, this is the information that you have asked me to investigate and obtain for you." The secretary sitting beside Lu Jingzhi handed a set of documents over to him. "There seems to be an unusual relationship between Ku Jie and Miss Jiang. However, the both of them have been very cautious and careful, therefore, it is very difficult to run a background check on them."

Lu Jingzhi took the documents over from the secretary and flipped through a few pages. He suddenly stopped and said, "Make a U-turn now. I want to head to the Royal Dragon Villa instead."

Jiang Yuning would never have imagined that her man-god would be jealous just because of her close relationship with Ku Jie.

Jiang Yuning stared at the handsome man who was dressed in a blue suit and was just about to ask why he had come back in advance when he grabbed her wrists and pushed her down on the sofa before forcing a kiss on her.

Jiang Yuning's wrists were hurting because he was gripping it so tightly and she could feel her lips hurting too. However, she did not have the strength to push him away.

"Lu—Second Brother—Brother."

Lu Jingzhi finally recovered his senses when he heard her shouting. He lifted his head and slowly wiped the lipstick stain that was smeared on the side of Jiang Yuning's lips with his long fingers.

"You said that you liked me?"

Lu Jingzhi asked. His voice was hoarse and carried a tinge of sarcastic mockery in it.

"Yes." Jiang Yuning answered as she nodded her head. She then quickly shook her head and said, "You scared me a little by your actions just now, so maybe I like you a little lesser right now."

She did not know if it was because of the coolness of the sea breeze, or whether it was because of Lu Jingzhi's coldness, but when Jiang Yuning spoke that sentence, she felt as though she was about to be frozen to death because of the coldness in Lu Jingzhi's eyes.

"You are able to change your opinion on how much you liked someone so easily?"

Jiang Yuning stared at the handsome man standing before her and she felt as though she was drooling at this perfect image. However, when she saw the expression on his face, Jiang Yuning knew that she had to remain calm and play it cool.

"Yes, it's my own feelings. Of course, I can feel differently whenever I want to."

Lu Jingzhi released his grip on her wrists and then lifted her chin with his hand. "I must say, you really do have some survival instinct in you."

After speaking, Lu Jingzhi reached out a hand and helped Jiang Yuning up from the sofa.

He had reminded himself countless times not to believe what she says, but he could not help but feel happy when he heard her confessing that she liked him.

Jiang Yuning held onto her wrists that were hurting. How much strength did this man use?

"Why are you back so early? Is something wrong?"

"No, nothing is wrong. Go to bed earlier," Lu Jingzhi said before heading towards the gate with no expression on his face.

"You are leaving already?"

Jiang Yuning was feeling extremely puzzled and confused. Did this man come all the way here just to kiss her and leave again?

"Don't forget about the homework that I have left for you to complete," Lu Jingzhi said coldly as he walked out of the villa in a hurry, with his secretary by his side.

It was drizzling late at night in the early spring. The houses built on the hills looked like it was covered in fog when it rained.

This was the kind of atmosphere that Lu Zongye liked and therefore, he was always relaxing in the living room. He especially liked making love with Huo Yuxi there because the floor and ceiling were covered with mirrors and glass, and this was the kind of excitement and temptation that no men could ever resist.

Huo Yuxi leaned against Lu Zongye's chest and said in her sweet and charming voice, "We are about to get engaged but now Emperor Entertainment is in trouble. Therefore, I don't think they will be able to help us do what we had requested. Zongye, I don't care. You promised me that you will make sure that this does not hurt my reputation. You have just annulled your engagement with Jiang Yuning one week ago, so how could we get engaged now?"

Lu Zongye caressed Huo Yuxi's smooth and fair cheek lightly and then said, "You don't have to worry about it. I will invite Jiang Yuning out tomorrow and offer her some benefits so that she will cooperate with us."

"Alright then. You said it so don't lie to me. If it is possible, you have to make sure that the public hates her more so that we can get engaged without the public scrutinizing us."

"In order to be with you and marry you, I have already humiliated and destroyed Jiang Yuning in the worst possible ways. Do you still not trust me? How about I drag Jiang Yuning here in front of you tomorrow?"

"Alright then! But I am not trying to bully her, I am just doing this for our marriage!" Huo Yuxi said as she hugged Lu Zongye tightly.

"So—what if you are bullying her? I allow it!"

Lu Zongye replied before he turned off the table lamp that was next to the sofa.

Jiang Yuning woke up early the next morning and she intended to continue sleeping in before she woke up to continue her game with Emperor Entertainment and its artistes.

However, at this time, she received a phone call from an agent of Zhen Yang Media inviting her to join them as one of their artistes early in the morning. The person on the other side of the call offered her a very good contract and even offered to clear her reputation for her.

However, Jiang Yuning felt that the name Zhen Yang Media was very familiar and therefore, she decided to call Ku Jie for some confirmation.

Unexpectedly, Ku Jie suddenly sneered out loud and said, "Are you telling me that the company belonging to that scumbag, Lu Zongye, intends to sign you as one of their artistes?"

After listening to Ku Jie's words, Jiang Yuning suddenly thought of what her former agent had told her over the phone previously. Lu Zongye wanted to set her up and use her scandal to divert the public's attention away from his upcoming engagement to the famous actress, Huo Yuxi.

"What do you plan to do then?"

"I will make an appointment and go for it," Jiang Yuning replied coolly. "But Brother, I would like to bring a paparazzo with me and I want him to be equipped with a miniature camera."

"Why would you want to do that? Aren't you going to be his second sister-in-law soon?" Ku Jie asked sarcastically.

"Lu Jingzhi and I are having a secret affair. Don't you know that a secret affair is not acceptable?" Jiang Yuning said as she rolled her eyes. If she wanted it to sound good, she could say that she was his sister-in-law, but truthfully, she was just a mistress that Lu Jingzhi was secretly having an affair with.

"At least you still know that what you are doing is not acceptable. Xiao Ning, it is not too late to back out of it now—"

"I know, I know…" Jiang Yuning replied in a serious tone. "Brother, hurry up and find me a paparazzo that would not stand out too much. I need to bring him with me along to the appointment. Let's see what that scumbag Lu Zongye is up to this time."

"I really do not know how else to deal with you," Ku Jie said as he sighed helplessly before hanging up the call.
