Chapter 401

Everyone has a different trajectory of happiness, and the Director is far more rational and wise than he is. As his assistant, what he should do is provide the Director with every convenience he can.

"Why did you stop?" Lin Qi asked the driver.

"There's a traffic jam ahead, probably an accident. Let me see if there's another route," the driver explained.

Before long, the driver found a small road and drove into the residential complex where He Lele lived.

"Quick! Building 4 is on fire!"

"On fire? Then hurry up and call the fire department!"

"I did! I called ages ago! They're all stuck in traffic on the road!"

"Then what should we do? Whose house is on fire? Have the people gotten out?"

"They say it's the He family's place! Everyone else in the building who was home has come out, but no one knows what's going on with them!"

"The He family? Shouldn't the husband and wife be at work?"

"The problem is they just happened to take a few days off. We don't know if they're at home or if they went to cheer for their daughter! No one answers when we call! The neighbors said they heard a cell phone ringing in the He family's apartment when they ran out! It's so nerve-wracking!"

"Stop the car." A cold voice rang out inside the vehicle.

"Director? It shouldn't... be such a coincidence, right? Director! Director!" Lin Qi hurriedly got out of the car and chased after him!

S City

"Sister Lele! Hee hee! Did you miss me?" Watching Rong Qingya snuck into the dressing room, crouching low, then suddenly jumped in front of He Lele and grinned.

"Qingya!" He Lele said, pleasantly surprised.

Seeing Mu Wei, who was touching up He Lele's makeup, shook his head with a smile. If he hadn't spotted this girl a step earlier, he wouldn't have known where his brush would have ended up.

"Why did you come over? Didn't the organizers say no contact was allowed?"

"It starts in two hours, and the video of the afternoon dress rehearsal has already been released as a teaser, so the ban is lifted now! Brother Mu, you're a photographer, right? Are you any good at makeup?"

Seeing Mu Wei gently lifted He Lele's chin, his rouge brush sweeping across her cheeks like a breeze. "Perhaps I'm not good with others, but for you, Sister Lele, I cannot be anything but."

With Seeing Mu Wei's deep-set features and his confident, affectionate gaze, two alluring blushes automatically bloomed on He Lele's small face. Her eyes, bright and moving under the skillful makeup, hid her shyness as she dodged the man's gaze.

"Hee hee! Then good luck, Sister Lele! I won't disturb you two anymore!" Watching Rong Qingya said tactfully, turning toward the door. As she opened it, she said, "Brother Ji! Why are you here too?"

He Lele and Seeing Mu Wei looked toward the door at the sound. Outside, Ji Jie was looking at He Lele with a grave expression, looking as if he had something to say but was holding back.

"Ji Jie? What's wrong? Did something happen?" He Lele couldn't help but feel nervous.

"... Lele, someone committed arson at your home."

Two and a half hours later, a helicopter arrived in Z City.

"..." The elderly He couple stared blankly at the group of young men behind their daughter, not knowing what to do with their hands. "Uh, Nannan, that, the one inside..."

"Mom, Dad, I'll watch over things here. You go get some rest. But don't go back to Auntie's place today; stay at a hotel for the night first," He Lele said in a low voice.

After she graduated, her parents had been thinking about quitting their jobs and moving. After she clearly stated that she would be working and living in S City in the future, her parents also made up their minds to move to S City. They had just finished tidying up the house these past two days, and she had planned to have a meal with her relatives after returning from the competition before moving, but she never expected that someone would commit arson at their home!

What she expected even less was that Shentu Mo... had smashed open her door, rushed into the billowing thick smoke, and then choked into unconsciousness in her empty house.

This was probably the coldest "cold joke" she had ever heard in her life.

Should she give him the courtesy of a "haha"?

Qin Zhixiu, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, walked up to her, pulled her into his embrace, and gently patted her back.

Li Yiquan glanced at He Lele, smiled at the He couple, and led them to the hotel.

Ji Jie gave Lin Qi a look and walked to the side to ask for details.

Seeing Mu Wei looked at Ruan Lin, who was also wearing a large mask and had a fierce glint in his eyes. "Let's go. Since someone doesn't want to live, we'll see her off."

Author's Note:

The current situation with Xianxian~~ Jiangshan personally thinks I don't need to worry about any contracts anymore~ It's just a pity that the editor has to work for nothing~

Anyway, there aren't many chapters left~~ Let it be~~ I hope Xianxian can at least hold on until the apartment arc concludes.

Everyone should be mentally prepared~~~ Jiangshan is the type of person who doesn't really like writing side stories...

Love you all~~ Thank you to all the girls! Thank you for being here!
