Chapter 369: Chapter 364: Cooperation Chapter 369: Chapter 364: Cooperation “Qi Si, the Shencheng Bai Family had approached the Zhai Family. I didn’t expect that the research sponsored by the Zhai Family was from the Institute, and it’s the person you and Chi Boyuan were suppressing,” Zhai Hongshen’s voice came through the phone.

Qi Si had received his call before leaving the house, and he started by mentioning Bai Zhong’s move to seek out the Zhai Family in Beijing.

Qi Si replied indifferently, “I know.”

“That woman also has the surname Shen. Could she be related to Shen Yan?” Zhai Hongshen asked curiously.

“Hong Shen, don’t pry too much; it’s not good for the Zhai Family. She has nothing to do with Yanyan,” Qi Si’s voice turned cold.

Zhai Hongshen was somewhat surprised.

The phone call ended, but he still held the phone in a daze.

After a while, he heard himself sigh softly.

His relationship with Qi Si seemed to be drifting further apart due to his sister’s affairs, and the situation between the two families had also changed.

He did not want to be enemies with Qi Si; that wasn’t the outcome they desired, and neither did the Zhai Family.

Thinking of his sister’s persistence, Zhai Hongshen’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.

He hoped the worst wouldn’t happen.

“Miss Zhai.”

Zhai Xilan had been recuperating in a small villa belonging to her family’s estates recently, which was some distance from the Zhai family’s main residence and closer to the bustling city area.

The environment was good and well-suited for recuperation.

Since the day Zhai Hongshen had ordered her to stay home, Zhai Xilan hadn’t gone out again.

She found out that Qi Ran had been sent straight to Africa by Qi Si; Qi Si was cold to everyone.

Except to Shen Yan!

Thinking of that day’s incident, she often fell into annoyance; she shouldn’t have made such a childish move.

It had led to this outcome.

While she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard someone call her from behind. Zhai Xilan was startled and turned around to see a strange woman appearing at her place. Her expression slightly changed as she looked behind her, the servants who were moving around had disappeared without trace, and it was eerily quiet.

“Who are you!”

Zhai Xilan was not foolish; seeing the situation, she immediately sensed the danger.

The woman approaching her had a very beautiful face, though one side of her face was covered with two adhesive bandages, which did not detract from her beauty.

However, this beautiful face bore a pair of pitch-black eyes shimmering with a cold light, harboring something very dangerous!

“Miss Zhai, don’t be afraid. I’m not here to cause you trouble. I just want to cooperate with you.”

“Cooperate?” Zhai Xilan pointed ahead, “Is this what you call cooperation? What have you done to my people?”

“This is Country Z; I won’t touch your laws.”

“You’re not from Country Z!” Zhai Xilan stared in astonishment at the face that leaned towards a Country Z appearance.

Suo Min touched her own face with a mischievous smile, her smile twisting sinisterly, “Well, how about it? My face is done quite well, according to the standards of you people from Country Z.”

Zhai Xilan stared at Suo Min, momentarily at a loss for words.

There were no traces to be seen; the cosmetic surgery was quite accomplished.

“You just mentioned cooperation, what do you mean by that?” Zhai Xilan wasn’t interested in her face.

Suo Min smiled and lowered her hand, stepping in front of Zhai Xilan, whose expression subtly changed as she moved her wheelchair back.

Suo Min’s smile turned mocking, “I thought Miss Zhai was brave. That Shen Yan… I know you know her and are quite eager to get rid of her.”

I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Upon hearing the name “Shen Yan,” Zhai Xilan’s face visibly worsened.

Suo Min stared at her meaningfully, “Stop pretending, I’ve cleared up everything you’ve done to Shen Yan; women from Country Z are really interesting.”

“Who exactly are you, and why are you investigating these things? Is it Shen Yan who hired you to go against me?” Zhai Xilan was the first to suspect that it was Shen Yan’s doing.

Suo Min couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically, “I really despise the name ‘Shen Yan.’ She ruined something very important to us. Though there is no direct evidence, we don’t fuss over such formalities when we act. Better to kill the wrong person than to let one go. We also want Shen Yan dead, with the same goal as you.”

“No, I don’t want her dead,” Zhai Xilan denied with a pale face.

“Hypocrite!”

Zhai Xilan’s face turned even paler.

“You’ve already offended her. You want that man, don’t you? I can help you get him!” Suo Min offered a very tempting condition.

Zhai Xilan suddenly looked up at her.

“How about it, do you want to cooperate with me?”

“Conditions,” Zhai Xilan stared at her intently, “You wouldn’t help me for nothing; you must have your conditions.”

“I have no conditions. My only condition is to see that woman dead, you getting her man, making her suffer, that’s all,” Suo Min spread her hands generously, as though she was being very magnanimous.

Zhai Xilan simply couldn’t believe the woman who suddenly appeared here, proposing a collaboration.

Meeting Zhai Xilan’s distrustful gaze, Suo Min said, “Alright, my condition is to become friends with the Zhai Family. More friends mean more roads; I haven’t made friends in China yet, and I want to try.”

“You want the Zhai Family’s connections?” Zhai Xilan sneered, “Do you think I would believe you?”

“Whether you believe me or not is up to you, but since I’m here, you have to cooperate with me. The path to the Zhai Family, I’ve set on it,” the next second, Zhai Xilan was grabbed by the neck and lifted from her wheelchair.

Zhai Xilan struggled desperately.

“I’ll be staying in China for a while and will come to see you again tomorrow,” Suo Min said roughly as she tossed her back and swiftly flipped over the tall wall in front of her.

Soon, another voice came from inside the villa, “Miss, Miss, are you alright!”

“Have there been a lot of new people joining the crew recently?” Shen Yan climbed out of the mud pit, loosened the uncomfortably tight collar, and asked Xiao Zhao.

As Xiao Zhao handed over some water to wash her hands and face, and handed her a towel, he said, “Many of the crew’s outdoor scenes are shot here. There are quite a few people who come in to work part-time daily, coming and going; it’s hard to keep track of how many people there have been. Yanyan, is there a problem with these people?”

In the past few days, there had been minor issues with the props Shen Yan used, so Xiao Zhao became alert as soon as Shen Yan asked.

“I saw Uncle Liu wandering around, he might have discovered something. Should we ask him?” Xiao Zhao suggested.

Shen Yan arched an eyebrow, “I’ll look into it a bit more.”

Xiao Zhao didn’t know what Shen Yan wanted to look into, but since she asked, Xiao Zhao also paid extra attention to the comings and goings of those people.

The crew was a mess, all kinds of people, had to be careful.

“Bang!”

A loud noise suddenly came from another filming location.

“What happened? What happened?”

“It’s Teacher Qin who had an accident!”

“The wire broke!”

“Damn! Who checked the props…”

“Quick, save him, he fell into a water pit!”

A disorderly crowd gathered together.

Shen Yan’s sharp gaze swept behind the crowd and saw a figure retreating and shouting.

Shen Yan put down the water in her hand and charged toward the figure, who retreated swiftly and professionally.

That person carried a very dark aura, very familiar…

Where had she seen that before?

Was it someone from the base again?

It made no sense for someone from the base to target Qin Dingyue.
