Chapter 657
Sensational or not, it was at least a stain.
Catherine tugged at the corners of her mouth, her expression cold.
Besides, it was hungry enough to go upstairs and get a room before the party was even over.
The two women outside the cubicle talked for a few more moments before leaving.
Five minutes later, Catherine emerged from the cubicle.
As if nothing had happened, she returned to the party and commanded, “Butler.”
The royal butler immediately saluted, “Your Highness, is it time to go back?”
“No reply, a message for the media over in China.” Catherine faded, “Ying, the CEO of First Light Media, and her golden master are upstairs, so if you don’t want to miss this great news, you’d better go and see it in time.”
The Royal Butler froze for a moment, “The golden master?”
He thought for a moment and then understood the meaning of the word.
The Royal Butler nodded, “Yes, Your Highness.”
“And also, give the organisers the word that an old man broke into Miss Ying’s room and forced himself on her.” Catherine added, “For Miss Ying’s safety, isn’t it necessary to send a bit of someone up there to take a look?”
In any case, this was country J.
She was the president’s daughter, so she still had that power.
Fu Yunshen was the CEO of the venus group, which country J could no longer afford to mess with, but Ying Ziji still had to teach her a lesson.
Otherwise, she would have lost her face for nothing.
The royal butler responded, and then followed Catherine out of the banquet hall.
**
Upstairs of the hotel.
Inside room a302.
Ying Ziji had just come out of the shower, droplets of water dripping down the ends of her hair.
“Come here.” Fu Yunshen beckoned with one hand and held a hairdryer in the other, “Hair needs to be blown dry.”
Ying yawned and sat obediently on the sofa, leaning against his chest.
She picked up her phone, which had a few unread messages on it.
[Rita]: Beauty, I just experienced the most embarra*sing thing in my twenty years of life.
[Lita]: You don’t know, just one dance, how many times did I step on him, I can’t even count them all, and he didn’t even change his face [bitterness]
Ying Zidian raised his eyebrows and returned three words.
[More stomping.
[Rita]: ?
Fu Yunshen put down the hair dryer: “Going out for some late night snacks later?”
Ying Zidian slightly turned her head sideways, raised her hand and hooked his chin, slightly forcing herself closer and raising her eyebrows: “Okay, no one is there, give an honest account.”
The two of them were in an ambiguous and dangerous position.
Fu Yunshen’s back tensed up abruptly.
He could clearly see the girl’s long, fluttering eyelashes and delicate eyeliner.
Every inch of her skin carried a fatal attraction.
This time it was Fu Yunshen who lost the battle first.
“I swear, she has never seen my real face and I have never touched her.” He hugged her, his head lowered, and gave a stifled laugh with a touch of helplessness, “At that time, J offered help to the venus group, and I disguised myself as a westerner to talk business with them.”
This was the reason why there had been rumours that the CEO of venus was a proper O-continent person.
Ying nodded: “And you look good in disguise?”
Fu Yunshen recalled, “Ordinary, right?”
If it wasn’t for today’s incident, he would have forgotten that there was a princess in country J.
“I see.” Ying Ziji let go of his hand and glanced at him, “You should cover your face all the way up, your eyes will discharge.”
Fu Yunshen paused, his trailing voice ticking up, “Hm?”
Ying Ziji looked the man up and down again and added, “You can cover your body too, do you need me to teach you to change your voice?”
This man was a complete walking hormone, full of tension.
From his face to his voice, there was not a single thing wrong with him.
Fu Yunshen put his hands up in a surrendering gesture, “Yao Yao, I’m not interested in Arabian robes at all.”
Without looking at him, Ying Ziji drew out a book and started flipping through it, “Go out for a late dinner later.”
There were too many people at the party, and she didn’t like such occasions.
Fu Yunshen laughed and pinched the girl’s face, “Little jealous spirit.”
“Mmm.” Ying flipped through the book, not slowing down, “I don’t know who had ibi’s search officer secretly intimidate my suitor.”
This matter was also something she had overlooked.
At that time, before she had left Shanghai, a gentry from a family that used to come and go with the Zhong family had expressed his admiration for her.
After rejecting it, she paid no further attention.
But unfortunately, when she went out to buy milk tea, she saw Valens with two strong search officers blocking the gentry at the entrance of the alley with a fierce expression.
The gent had never seen such a show and was almost paralysed with fear on the spot.
He ran back with a crawl in the back.
“Fine, I admit defeat.” Fu Yunshen surrendered completely, “The jealous spirit is me.”
Ying Ziji rolled over, his voice lazy, “You go take a shower.”
**
On the ground floor, the banquet is nearing its end.
Many of the guests have gone upstairs to rest, leaving the cleaners to tidy up the venue.
Catherine was looking not for the media who had been invited to the venue, but for the paparazzi who were crouching outside.
With all the celebrities gathered today, someone might have collided in private.
This is the kind of news that paparazzi in every country love.
Catherine had the royal butler give the paparazzi a VIP card to the hotel so they could get in.
The paparazzi were quite surprised when they received the news revealed by Catherine.
“Ying Ziyi really has a golden master, I didn’t see her like this.”
“The entertainment industry is so messy, there are no clean ones in the first place, if she didn’t have a golden master, how did she become the boss of First Light Media?”
“Hey, this is first-hand big news, let’s reveal to the marketing numbers that there is breaking news about her first and put out the photos first thing in the morning.”
On the other hand, the hotel staff had also received the news and all couldn’t help but get nervous.
There were indeed a few old guys on the o-continent side who were very sex-crazed.
Ying Zidian’s face is very high value, so there’s no guarantee that they’ll fall for her.
If anything happened to Ying Zidian, they couldn’t afford it.
The manager himself went to the front desk and looked serious: “Which room is Miss Ying from First Light Media in?”
The receptionist was startled and immediately started checking the information of the guests: “The presidential suite in a302.”
“A302, only Miss Ying is alone?”
“The occupancy information shows that there is only one person, but not in the room, I went to deliver new toiletries earlier and there was a man’s voice inside.”
The manager’s heart lifted for a moment, “Was it an older man?”
“No, not sure.” The receptionist froze, “I didn’t go in.”
The manager made an immediate decision, “Quick, go up and have a look.”
The guests who hadn’t left yet watched curiously as a group of people hurried upstairs.
Neil, who had just finished his talks, heard the words a302 and was slow to recall.
Wasn’t this his boss’s room?
He scratched his head and followed him up.
There were only three rooms on the third floor.
a302 was in the middle, and the most luxurious presidential suite.
“Miss Ying!” The manager knocked on the door, “Miss Ying, are you alright? Can you please report a peace?”
There was no movement inside.
The manager knocked again, “Miss Ying?”
Catherine was getting impatient and spoke coldly: “You should have a spare room card. If something happens to her here, can you bear the consequences?”
The manager was also anxious, and was about to take out the universal room card.
But the door to the presidential suite opened at that moment.
The girl was dressed in casual clothes, and her voice was cold: “What’s wrong?”
The manager was relieved to see that Ying was all right.
Before he could say anything, a low voice rang out, “Yoyo, what happened?”
There really was a wild man!
Even if it wasn’t Ying Zigui’s golden master, it was still the little white man she had adopted.
Whether it was the former or the latter, it was an unmissable explosive.
The paparazzi’s eyes instantly lit up, just waiting to rush in and take pictures.
The manager got nervous again and was careful: “Miss Ying, is someone coercing you? Tell us and we will definitely arrest him.”
Ying Ziji raised her eyebrows.
She leaned against the door with her arms wrapped around her, lifted her chin and said to the person inside, “Nothing has happened, just here to arrest you, you’d better not come out.”
“Arrest me?”
Footsteps sounded and the paparazzi raised their cameras in unison, ready to snap a shot.
Catherine also raised her head.
Fu Yunshen emerged from the bathroom, a bath towel wrapped around his lean, powerful waist.
His long arms were outstretched and he pulled the black shirt on the hanger over his body, covering his perfect form.
The man’s hair was still dripping down at the ends, but it did not hide his handsome face.
He stepped out, his hand resting comfortably on the girl’s shoulder.
His breath was hot, with a faint emerald scent.
Fu Yunshen slowly raised his head, exposing his face completely to the public eye: “What’s wrong, what crime have I committed?”
Chapter 658
. “……”
The air was suddenly quiet.
There was no sound at all.
Catherine was standing far away, but could see the man’s face clearly.
The familiar peach blossom eyes, the familiar demonic face.
It was as if a thunderbolt had risen out of thin air and fallen in Catherine’s ears.
It made a dull booming sound and blew her mind blank.
Fu Yunshen …… How could it be Fu Yunshen?
Catherine’s lips trembled fiercely, only to feel dizzy: “How, how do you ……”
The doggies were also dumbfounded, their eyes dumbfounded.
The old man?
Ying Ziji’s golden master?
Fu Yunshen was known as the youngest business elite, not at all related to old.
To call him a golden master was clearly an insult to him.
“Fu, Mr. Fu!” The manager was the first to react and his legs went a little weak, “It’s, it’s you, how come you’re here?”
“Why can’t I be here?” Fu Yunshen raised his eyelashes and hooked his lips, his smile was cool, “Or is it that having a room with your fiancée is a violation of the laws of country J?”
This sentence made the manager almost paralyzed with fear: “No, no, no, Mr. Fu, there is no such intention, we received the news that someone was coercing Miss Ying, so we came up to take a look.”
Before coming here, he had already gone through all the powerful men on this side of O Chau in his mind.
But he had never thought that the person in Ying Zidian’s room would be Fu Yunshen.
Moreover, they were still an unmarried couple!
“Un, fiancée ……” Catherine’s body shook again, and her lips were devoid of blood.
Ying Ziji was Fu Yunshen’s fiancée, so wasn’t the engagement request made by J earlier during the ball a complete joke?
Catherine’s head was spinning, and Lianshan was even more on fire.
What was she doing?
Ying raised her hand and fastened the top two buttons of Fu Yunshen’s shirt, her face expressionless: “Put your clothes on before you come out.”
Fu Yunshen’s eyes lowered and he obeyed: “Okay, I’ll go back and buy an Arabian robe and show it to you alone.”
The exchange of words between the two of them, as if no one was watching, made the others tremble with fear.
The doggie had long since fled, not even daring to take the camera that had fallen to the ground.
Are you kidding?
They dared to film Fu Yunshen?
Wouldn’t they be asking for death?
“Mr. Fu, Miss Ying, I’m really sorry for the disturbance.” The manager wiped his sweat and apologised, “We’ll leave now, we’ll send you a gift for offending you two later.”
Fu Yunshen gave a faint hmph and closed the door.
He picked up his phone and dialed a number, “Valens, find out what’s going on today.”
He could probably hear what was going on.
Someone had maliciously spread the word about the man hidden in Ying Zidian’s room.
Whatever the reason, it was clearly aimed at ruining Ying Zidian’s reputation.
It had touched his bottom line.
Fu Yunshen’s eyes were cold and hostile, but they softened when he looked at the girl: “Yao Yao, is everything alright?”
“No.” Ying Ziyi yawned, “It’s quite funny, we can make up a script and make a small budget web drama when the time comes.”
“……”
His girl, her brain circuit was really different from ordinary girls.
“Let’s go.” Fu Yunshen put on his coat, “What do you want to eat for a late night snack?”
“Let’s go to Chinatown.” Ying Ziji put on her bag, “Chinese food still tastes good.”
“Okay.” Fu Yunshen smiled and rubbed her head, “Let’s go.”
**
The next day.
Early morning.
James was having morning tea with the President’s wife.
He was looking at the news about the venus group in the newspaper, and his hands were bruising.
Even without the Laurent family as an ally, the venus group was no longer under the control of the J.
James grunted coldly and heavily threw the newspaper on the table.
The president’s wife suddenly spoke, “Where is Catherine, she didn’t come back with you?”
At the mention of Catherine, James’ face eased in a rare moment, “She and a few celebrities are still at the hotel, they came back today.”
“So are you.” The President’s wife grumbled, “Who made you so impatient? It wouldn’t have been so scandalous to discuss the engagement in private.”
James was a little annoyed, “Who knew he made the video five years ago?”
The president’s wife shook her head, “Orientals are just shrewd, there’s no choice but to admit it.”
Just then, the guard came rolling in, panicking, “Mr President, it’s bad, something’s happened!”
“What for?” James’ brow furrowed, suppressing his anger, “Don’t you all know the rules anymore? Are you guys going to rebel?”
Yesterday the J presidency had lost face, and the chiefs of the other countries were laughing at him.
If it wasn’t for the authority of the presidential office, not much news would have gone out on the internet, otherwise the presidential office of country j would have become the laughing stock of the whole international community by now.
Now that the morning tea time had been disrupted again, James was even more furious.
“Mr. President, it’s, it’s really something big.” The escort stammered, “Her Highness has been escorted back by ibi.”
James’ expression changed dramatically, “What did you say?”
How could Catherine be involved with ibi when ibi fights international crime?
Before James could get out, someone had barged in first.
It was arrogant and there was no disguise.
Catherine was pinned to the floor quite mercilessly by the two searchers, with such force that she let out a scream of pain.
The president’s wife drew a backward breath and panicked at once: “Catherine!”
But next to her, there were two ibi agents with guns, and the president’s wife didn’t dare to step forward at all.
James’ face sank and he looked at Valens who came in after him, “What does Your Excellency mean by this?”
The ibi branch in country J was just across the street from the presidential palace.
The only one who dared to be so bold in the presidential palace was ibi.
Valens did not normally show his face.
James knew ibi Director Li Sidney, but had never met Valence.
“Mr. President, Executive Director Fu said to trouble you to keep your daughter under control.” Valens smiled, “Tell her to put away those little calculations in her mind and not to make a fool of herself.”
“Maliciously spreading false information and insulting foreign dignitaries, Mr. President, is this what you mean too? Do you want to destroy world peace?”
This one sentence directly put a big hat on James.
The veins on James’s forehead popped out, but he had to lower his noble head, “Sir, this is a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?” Valens coldly, “Not a misunderstanding, next time, ibi has the right to arrest your daughter in the name of maintaining world peace.”
With that, he led his men away.
It was still a very arrogant style, not giving any face to the presidential palace.
The guards glanced warily at James, who was on the verge of rage, and hurriedly retreated as well.
In the dining room.
Catherine sank to the floor, shivering, her expression wooden.
Even she didn’t know why ibi had come to her.
She was still asleep this morning when she was forcefully thrown out by the hotel staff.
Before she could return to her senses, she had been detained directly by ibi’s search officers.
James couldn’t stand it any longer and raised his hand, slapping Catherine straight across the face, “You did this, say, what did you do?”
Catherine’s face instantly swelled up and tears fell from her eyes.
She covered her face in some disbelief, “Daddy?”
She hadn’t been hit since she was a little girl.
The President’s wife became anxious and stopped James, “What are you doing?”
“What am I doing?” James was furious, “ibi personally sent our daughter back, what do you think I’m doing?”
If word of this got out, Catherine’s reputation would be ruined.
Who else would come and ask for her hand in marriage?
“I, I didn’t do anything.” Catherine gave a brief account of what had happened and became even more aggrieved, “What has this got to do with ibi? They’re arresting me by mistake!”
“Daddy, you have to do the talking for me!”
“Do the honours?” James laughed, “How can you do that, you don’t know how ibi works?”
Catherine stopped talking.
In ibi’s eyes, there was no distinction between men and women.
The president’s wife looked tense: “James, Fu Yunshen is not still related to ibi, is he?”
James frowned.
It was true.
In the past, how could ibi have bothered with such things?
Agents were busy on missions all over the world.
“No way.” James shook his head, “He’s just a business elite, and ibi is simply in two fields, how could he possibly order ibi’s people around?”
The president’s wife thought carefully and also thought it was impossible.
James spoke again, “Don’t even go out for a few months, Catherine, stay at home and reflect!”
“Come on, it’s done, there’s no point in talking about it.” She helped Catherine up and sighed, “Let’s not mess with the venus group in future.”
James nodded his head with a sullen face.
Fu Yunshen had too many tricks up his sleeve, it was better to avoid them.
Otherwise, it would be the Presidency that would be in trouble one day.
**
On the other side.
After being swept away by the venus group, Joseph became a penniless loser.
Even if he was more capable, no company would dare to hire him.
Joseph is desperate and has to buy a small villa with the little money he has left.
He knows that this is not the way to go, but all roads are blocked by the venus group.
It was all Fu Yunshen’s fault!
Joseph went out with a cold face, ready to buy a box of instant noodles from the supermarket next door, when he was stopped on the way.
It was a middle-aged man who smiled and said, “Mr. Joseph, nice to meet you.”
Joseph frowned, “And you are?”
“Introduce yourself, I’m Professor Manuel’s a*sistant.” The middle-aged man said, “I don’t suppose that name is new to Mr. Joseph?”
Joseph narrowed his eyes and didn’t move, “What do you want with me?”
He was certainly no stranger to the name Manuel.
Manuel was well established in the field of biochemistry and had invented a number of new products over the years that had almost overpowered Helvin at one point.
“We can supply Mr. Joseph with a colourless, odourless poison.” The a*sistant smiled slightly, “This chemical poison is a new product from the lab, and if you kill someone, there will be no traces left.”
“Is Mr. Joseph really willing to be expelled after all the contributions he has made to the venus group?”
Joseph gritted his teeth, “What can I do?”
“Of course there is a way.” The a*sistant held out the potion bottle, “As long as the executive is dead, you can still return to the venus group, at least your strength is there for all to see, isn’t it?”
His voice lowered, “The method of use is on it, it’s a new poison not even found in the underworld.”
Joseph’s eyes flickered and looked around before he put the bottle of potion into his pocket, “What do you want?”
“We don’t want anything.” The a*sistant laughed again, “Just can’t see Mr. Joseph being thrown out and watching Fu Yunshen dominate.”
Not one to be fooled, Joseph asked again, “What is it that you want?”
“Well, Mr Joseph is very clever indeed.” The a*sistant said lightly, “Our target is Miss Ying, who is with this Mr. Fu, but that’s none of your business, we already have a solution.”
“Miss Ying?” Joseph frowned again, “Okay, I get it, thanks for the help.”
He put up his collar and left without turning his head.
The bodyguard following the a*sistant hesitated, “Sir, will he really succeed?”
“Whether it works or not is of no concern to us.” The a*sistant said, “He’s just helping us with the sighting, let’s go.”
Their target had never been Fu Yunshen.
Of course, it was best if Joseph succeeded.
But the a*sistant didn’t hold out much hope.
**
Ying Ziji left the hotel.
She had made an appointment with Rita last night to go shopping in the new commercial building in the city centre.
As she turned into an alleyway, Ying’s ears suddenly twitched and her steps slowed down.
In front and behind, a dozen tall bodyguards came out and surrounded the girl, slowly approaching.
Ying Zidian looked up at the a*sistant with a calm expression, “It’s you.”
“It’s hard for Miss Ying to remember me, it’s my honour.” The a*sistant smiled, “Miss Ying, last time, you refused the professor’s invitation, so we had to do it the hard way, do you mind coming with us?”
He gave a wink towards the bodyguards.
