Chapter 138

  It was nearly noon when the plane landed smoothly at K City Airport.

  The sound of a phone booting up nearby roused Lei Jin from his drowsiness, and he turned to look at Qi Yichen beside him. This guy had gotten drunk again last night and was sleeping more soundly than Lei Jin himself, not even waking up to the commotion of the other passengers rushing to grab their luggage and put on their coats. Lei Jin nudged Qi Yichen's arm, who smacked his lips and opened his eyes, asking, "Where are we?"

  Li Jin's mouth was just about to speak when his assistant suddenly handed him a mobile phone from the back seat.

  "Brother Li, it's a call from Brother Bei," said the assistant. "Something has happened."

  Something's happened. The three simple words made Lei Jin's heart skip a beat. He furrowed his brow and took the phone, on the other end of which was Bai Fuming's voice, calm but making him anxious.

  "Li Jin, why aren't you answering your phone?" Bei Fuming said, "This afternoon at 9 o'clock, Xiao Susu was caught for drug use."

  At first, the police just received a tip-off and rushed into a certain residential area to smash an underground drug den.

  When the police arrived at the scene and forcibly broke into the residence, they found that the other party was actually the son of a famous real estate tycoon. At this moment, this arrogant rich young master was lying limp on the sofa like a rotten mud, unable to open his eyes, with countless half-naked women entwined around his chest, thighs and even arms. The room was filled with a mixture of smoke and alcohol, causing the first police officer who entered to cough uncontrollably. On the European-style coffee table in the center of the room, various drug paraphernalia had not been hidden yet, all openly displayed for anyone to use.

  The police easily destroyed a drug den and, as the suspects were all public figures, even managed to create a sensational start to the year. The media swarmed in just ten minutes after the police raid, surrounding the residential area with three layers of reporters inside and out. When the young real estate mogul was led out of the building, he still hadn't recovered from the intense pleasure of his high and was completely weak all over, unable to even walk properly without the support of two police officers. Out of consideration for privacy, the police covered his head with their uniforms, so the media didn't get a shot of him. However, the female drug users who came out afterwards weren't so lucky.

  Most of them are third-tier or unknown models and actors, with unstable income and no guarantee of work. They have to sacrifice their dignity and cling to the thighs of real estate moguls. When they were brought out, although they had put on clothes with difficulty, each one looked dispirited and haggard. Most media outlets hadn't even seen their faces before, hastily taking a few photos before readjusting the camera lens to focus on the real estate mogul until...

  They saw Xiao Susu.

  This popular female student who got the fourth place in China's Star Voice National Finals a few months ago, is also the girlfriend of famous idol star Luo Fei and a contracted artist under Art in Song company.

  At that time, long guns and short cannons flashed countless times, and even many reporters directly held the microphone to Xiao Susu's face, asking her why she was there, whether she was involved in drug use, whether her boyfriend Luo Fei knew about it, and even if she had an affair with a real estate heir like other women.

  This year's first major event successfully ignited the Spring Festival at home, and in just one hour, related Weibo forwards exceeded 50,000 times, and major media websites also added this news to the headline position. Even celebrities who had nothing to do with this matter were either joking or criticizing.

  Due to his girlfriend Xiao Su's involvement, Luo Fei, who was originally attending an event outside, cancelled all his schedules and rushed back to Yi Ge Company. The area around Yi Ge Company had already been surrounded by reporters carrying cameras and microphones, asking sharp and unpleasant questions, with some even directly asking Luo Fei to talk about his feelings on being cheated on by his girlfriend.

  At the same time, news about Xiaoyu Company freezing Xiao Susu's resources also came to light. Some media maliciously speculated that Xiao Susu's addiction was due to her own degeneration or the result of her management company's neglect. Was Xiao Susu forced to trade her body for drugs because she had no money and the company cut off all financial support? And as Xiao Susu's boyfriend, why did Luo Fei abandon her and allow her to exchange her body for drug money?

  "What do they mean? Xiao Susu's drug addiction is her own downfall, what does it have to do with the company? Moreover..." Qi Yichen looked at the news on his phone and sneered, "'Xiao Susu exchanged sex for drugs because Art Song Company cut off her financial resources' - are they saying that the company should provide funding support for her drug addiction?"

  "Brother Lei, what to do?" The assistant couldn't care about teasing or mocking, he anxiously looked at Li Jin, hoping that this young but always calm gold medal agent could give him a peace of mind.

  But Li Jin has remained silent from the moment he received the phone call until now.

  Assistant felt even more uneasy - Qi Yichen sneered repeatedly, Li Jin remained silent in response, and he suddenly felt that this time, under the media's fierce attack, Art Song Company was likely to be severely damaged.

  "Has the company car arrived?" Li Jin suddenly asked.

  They were sitting in the exclusive VIP lounge at the airport. Bei Fongming briefly explained the severity of the situation over the phone and told them not to leave the airport for now, wait until he made arrangements to divert the media attention, and then take a car back. At present, all artists from Yi Ge Company are being pursued and intercepted, insiders say that there are hidden media in the airport, just waiting for Qi Yichen to appear, catch him off guard.

  The assistant carefully opened the door of the VIP room and cautiously poked his head out. In the distance, outside the airport gate, a nanny car and a lead car had quietly arrived and stopped by the side of the road.

  "Brother Lei, we've arrived," said the assistant.

  Li Jin stood up and said to Qi Yichen, "There is still a distance from here to the entrance. Later when you go out, don't worry about anything, just lower your head and walk forward. The rest of us will help block for you."

  "I know." Zhai Yichen stood up with a smile, "Later when we get back, I'll definitely beat Su Fei up good, can't even take care of his own girl, and still gets his brother to suffer along, what kind of thing is this!"

  Li Jin had already walked to the door, and upon hearing this, he seemed to smile but didn't quite turn his head back to glance at him.

  "If you have the energy, help me punch a couple of times."

  After finishing speaking, he pulled open the door and shielded Qi Yichen as they rushed out.

  Almost at the same moment when Qi Yichen appeared, the reporters hiding in various corners of the airport sprang into action. They swarmed in from all angles and directions like locusts equipped with wireless radar. Poor Li Jin and Qi Yichen's group had already taken off at their fastest speed, but they were still surrounded by reporters just as they were about to reach the door.

  Fortunately, Bei floated in at a critical moment and coordinated with airport security in advance, also dispatching personnel from the company. Although everyone's speed was slower, the reporter was still isolated on the periphery. However, this did not prevent the reporter from asking questions. It has been nearly four hours since Xiao Susu was taken out of the real estate tycoon's house, and the police have only issued a statement saying they are investigating without any further information. The real estate mogul is also tight-lipped. The public's desire needs to be satisfied, so the media can only swarm around Xiao Susu to find new topics.

  It's human nature, after all - no matter what time it is, bad news always attracts more attention than other things.

  Li Jin was trapped in the crowd, unable to move left or right, and even with security guards protecting him, he was still grabbed by the media and had his clothes torn off, as well as being scratched on the arm. When they finally managed to get Qi Yichen into the car, he lowered his head to check his sleeves and found that this high-quality windbreaker had four neat tears on the arm.

  They're all torn apart!

  "Is everyone on board?" The driver asked, turning his head around.

  "Yes." The assistant replied with a lingering fear, "Master, let's get going!"

  The accelerator pedal was pressed all the way down, and the car shot out like an arrow. Li Jin let out a long sigh, leaned back in his seat, and inadvertently raised his head, but stared blankly at the rearview mirror, where that increasingly small black dot gradually disappeared from view.

  Black Bentley - Li Yi Heng's favorite ride.

  He sprang up like an electric shock, clinging to the window and looking back.

  Li Yi Heng... Has he been staring at himself all this time?
