Chapter 130 - 130 Love Over Friendship

130 Love Over Friendship

Chu Jinchen was shocked.

Shi Ran had given him too many surprises tonight.

According to the information he had found, she had never gone to college after graduating from high school.

The reason was that they found out that her results were too poor and she could not get into college.

He had also seen the results of the model test in high school. It was indeed a mess.

Previously, he had some doubts about the authenticity of the results.

Through what had happened tonight, he could confirm that that was not her real result.

Seeing Chu Jinchen’s shock, she knew that she had guessed correctly.

“Actually, it’s not difficult to guess. You’ve been kidnapped twice. Logically speaking, the person who should get angry the most should be the current family head.”

“You’ll only investigate it yourself if he couldn’t or didn’t investigate. Someone who can become the patriarch of a large family shouldn’t be unable to find the identity of the kidnapper, right?”

“Then there’s only one possibility. Your grandfather is protecting the real culprit.”

Chu Jinchen laughed. “If you continue guessing, the truth will probably come out.”

“No.” She shook her head. “Even you didn’t find out, so it’s naturally even more impossible for me to guess. I don’t know much about the Chu Family.”

“You’ll understand in the future,” Chu Jinchen said meaningfully.

“Huh?” She looked at him.

He did not elaborate. Instead, he glanced at the time. “It’s late. I’ll take you home.”

“Okay.”

The two of them left the cafe together.

The shop assistant had secretly taken a photo when the two of them were not paying attention.

After the two of them left, she enlarged the photos of Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen, and she was in shock.

Chu Jinchen opened the car door and Shi Ran got in first.

He walked to the other side.

Just as she was about to get into the car, San Yu walked over. “Third Young Master, the shop assistant secretly took a photo of you and Miss Shi just now. Should we ask her to delete it?”

“Let her be.”

San Yu was not surprised by Chu Jinchen’s answer at all.

After all, Third Young Master had once sent Miss Shi and himself to the trending searches.

In the car.

“Perhaps that clue of yours… I can help you,” she said.

The reason why Chu Jinchen wanted to look for Ray was probably related to hackers.

“No need,” Chu Jinchen rejected softly.

He did not want to implicate her.

Shi Ran did not force it anymore.

When she returned to the apartment, she lay on the sofa with a pillow in her arms, thinking about tonight.

In the original book, Chu Jinchen had indeed died at the age of 30. The reason was unknown, but it was certain that it had nothing to do with illness.

From the looks of it, it was very likely that it was the person in the dark.

To be able to make Chu Jinchen fall, he must be a ruthless character.

However, what role did that old swindler play?

If it was really like the fortune-teller said, wouldn’t it be too accurate?

Or could it be that if Chu Jinchen and Wen Yufei married, this matter could really be avoided?

At the thought of this, the image of Wen Yufei wearing a wedding dress and swearing an oath with Chu Jinchen suddenly flashed across her mind.

She frowned, finding the scene blinding.

She felt unhappy.

Perhaps it was because Wen Yufei and the Wen family had provoked her time and time again, but she could not bear to see Wen Yufei get what she wanted.

She got up, walked to the study, and sat in front of the computer.

Chu Jinchen did not give her the clues probably because he did not want to implicate her.

But what if she helped Chu Jinchen find Ray?

As she was thinking, the phone on the table rang.

It was Ji Wenfeng.

“Have you looked at your Weibo? You’re on the trending searches,” Ji Wenfeng said.

Shi Ran picked up the tablet at the side and asked casually as she opened her Weibo, “You’re not drunk?”

“How did you know I was drinking?” Ji Wenfeng was surprised.

“Chu Jinchen said so.”

“Third Young Master went to look for you?!” Ji Wenfeng exclaimed.

“What?” At this moment, Qiu Yaohang’s voice sounded.

“Damn! I thought Jinchen had something urgent to attend to and left. In reality, he went to look for Sister Shi Ran. This person really values love over friendship.”

Qiu Yaohang muttered.

At this moment, Shi Ran was already looking at the trending searches.

#The Chained Palace#

When she saw this hashtag, she was still a little puzzled.

Wasn’t “The Chained Palace” not aired yet? She then remembered that the preview of “The Chained Palace” was released tonight.

Her character had only appeared for a few minutes. It was impossible for the trailer to still include her, right?

She opened the note and took a closer look.

It was indeed a preview of “The Chained Palace”.

It turned out that there was a scene in the trailer. It was a scene of her wearing a veil and her eyes were flirtatious, as if she was purely lusting after the Emperor.

This scene almost flashed past in the trailer.

It was unknown which netizen had taken a screenshot of her and posted it online. Coupled with her recent popularity, the post exploded.

[This is Shi Ran????]

[It’s really Shi Ran????]

[I’m still stuck in the valiant scene of her fighting with the dark forces. Why did the scene suddenly change??]

[Oh my god, my saliva has already wet the screen!]

[Who can stand being stared at like this?]

[I’m getting turned on!!]

[She’s acting as the demon concubine who brings disaster to the country, right?]

[So I’m not the only one attracted by this scene. I didn’t expect the ancient costume to look so exquisite!!]

[I originally wanted to see Feifei, but I didn’t expect to be attracted by this scene in the end.]

[My Master Ran is beautiful!!]

The netizens responded warmly.

“The popularity of your previous video had yet to subside and now, your popularity has increased again. Many advertisers have already contacted us.”

“I think it’s time to accept endorsement advertisements for you next. I’ll choose carefully. No matter what, in the entertainment industry, being beautiful is indeed a blessing from the heavens.”

Ji Wenfeng said with a smile.

Shi Ran’s reaction was calmer.

To her, relying on her face to make a living could only attract people over. The things which really attracted fans were still her works.

She believed that Ji Wenfeng knew this very well.

“By the way, we’re recording the third episode of ‘Love Warning’ tomorrow. It’s in the capital. I’ll pick you up in the morning. Rest early tonight.”

“Okay.”

Shi Ran hung up.

She had been busy filming recently and had almost forgotten about “Love Warning”.

The third episode…

Would Chu Jinchen still participate in it?

Previously, when Wen Yufei asked her to withdraw from this variety show, did it mean that Chu Jinchen would continue to participate?

What about Wen Yufei?

If Chu Jinchen could continue to participate in the variety show, Wen Yufei would probably follow him in.

The guest who happened to be eliminated in the previous episode was also a female guest.

It seemed that the variety show in the next few days would not be very peaceful.

At this moment, she received a message from Mu Yang.

It was the candidates on the top rankings of “Battle of the Gunslinger” that Mu Yang had sorted out.

There were not many people, only five.

After Mu Yang sent it, he sent another message.

Muyang: “Among the five of them, there’s a player called ‘Axe Carrying’. He once dominated the top of the rankings for an entire month. He’s very strong, but he’s already disappeared for a year. I wonder if we can contact him.”

[Shi Ran]: Leave it to me.

She placed her hands on the keyboard and was about to check on these people when her hands paused.

If she wanted to investigate, she had to hack into the Tianqi Studio…

After thinking for a moment, she sent Chu Jinchen a message.

Shi Ran: “I want to hack into the Tianqi Studio to find information on a few players. Can I?”

At that moment, Chu Jinchen was holding an international video conference.

San Yu was the first to see the news.

He was shocked.

Hacking into the Tianqi Studio???

What kind of joke was Miss Shi making?

The Tianqi Workshop was founded by Third Young Master alone, and it was also the branch that Third Young Master valued the most.

Miss Shi actually said that she wanted to hack into the studio, and she was even checking the players’ information!

No matter how much Third Young Master liked Miss Shi, he could not let her act so recklessly!
