Chapter 258: Return to School

Faced with this person's reminder, in a solemn atmosphere, Jiang Cheng reluctantly nodded.

I understand; I'll pay more attention to this going forward. However, I still need to trouble you to continue investigating this person.

If you have any leads, please inform me immediately. Jiang Cheng was very curious—just who is that expert behind Huang Zhengming?

He actually managed to bring the near-bankrupt Huang Zhengming back into the entertainment circle!

Most importantly, Huang Zhengming has paid off that breach-of-contract penalty in full; otherwise, he wouldn't dare be so arrogant.

Alright!

The other party smiled and said, "You provide the money, I'll provide the effort."

Good.

The private detective left.

Jiang Cheng stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing into the distance with deep eyes; his previously calm heart began to stir.

Su Manyao appeared beside Jiang Cheng at some point, walked to his side, and put her arms around his waist.

He spoke in a muffled voice: "What's wrong? Have you heard any news? I feel you've been distracted lately."

Su Manyao was worried.

He always felt that Jiang Cheng was hiding something from him.

He was very nervous.

Only then did Jiang Cheng slowly say: "Indeed, I've received some news, and it's quite shocking."

Hmm?

Su Manyao poked her head out from behind.

He looked at Jiang Cheng with a bewildered expression, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Just now I received a piece of information." Jiang Cheng's expression turned serious as he slowly said: "It's said that behind Huang Zhengming there is a big shot assisting him."

I guessed as much.

Su Manyao furrowed her brows: "Given Huang Zhengming's financial situation back then, he definitely couldn't have paid off that breach-of-contract fee!"

Yet in less than a month he managed to pay the entire amount quickly. Without a big shot behind him, this just doesn't make sense!

Su Manyao had discovered this from the start; he also sent people to investigate, but the result was always a blank.

It was as if someone deliberately suppressed it.

This caused him to spend a lot of money yet still be unable to obtain any information about the person behind Huang Zhengming.

Consequently, Su Manyao's mood became depressed!

If it weren't for Jiang Cheng being there, he would surely be gloomy.

Also, I feel that big shot behind him is deliberately targeting us two. Su Manyao's mind worked quickly; in just a moment, her clever head came up with several ideas.

Jiang Cheng was surprised.

But considering Su Manyao's ability, it's only natural that she could think of this.

If the other side is deliberately targeting us, I'm curious—who could be our common enemy?

Jiang Cheng racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

He thought long and hard, but still couldn't come up with who holds such a deep grudge against them as to devise such a scheme to torment them from behind.

Su Manyao slumped like a deflated balloon, weakly leaning into Jiang Cheng's embrace: "I don't know either."

I've investigated for half a month, but I still have no information about the other party at all!

I have to admit, I'm feeling a bit anxious. Su Manyao said in a muffled tone.

Jiang Cheng reached out and gently stroked his head: "It's okay; no matter when, I'll be by your side."

Together we will surely uncover the other party's information. I don't believe they can stay hidden that deeply!

Good.

Su Manyao clung to lying in Jiang Cheng's arms: "I hope everything goes smoothly and doesn't get worse; if it deteriorates further, I'll truly be worried." Su Manyao said helplessly.

Fortunately, with Jiang Cheng by his side, those conspiracies and tricks will surely be eliminated bit by bit through their joint efforts.

Don't worry, we'll definitely solve it.

Jiang Cheng's words were like a powerful spell, causing the worried Su Manyao's heart to gradually calm.

Later on, he wasn't so tense anymore.

They rested for a while.

Su Manyao's eyes lit up: "Tomorrow I need to go back to school for a lecture."

"Will you come with me?" Jiang Cheng had wanted to refuse, after all the situation is special and he still has many matters to handle, but seeing Su Manyao's eager joy, the words of refusal reached his lips and he ultimately didn't say them.

He nodded.

Alright!

Tomorrow I'll take you back to school.

——

Meanwhile.

There is also a program inviting Jiang Cheng to participate.

Mainly because Jiang Cheng's performance recently has been outstanding, leading the director to repeatedly consider and finally prepare to invite Jiang Cheng at a high price.

As long as Jiang Cheng agrees to participate, their ratings will surely surge.

Jiang Cheng already has his own entertainment company, so he isn't particularly interested in participating in such shows.

!

But——

He couldn't resist the other party's enthusiastic invitation.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng was very optimistic about their value.

Compared to the singer show he previously took part in, this show is obviously better.

After careful thought, Jiang Cheng agreed.

With Jiang Cheng's agreement, the other party repeatedly promised they would do their best in safety measures and everything else!

At the same time, he invited Jiang Cheng to go on stage first.

However, Jiang Cheng's main purpose was to accompany Su Manyao to the school.

The school was holding an event.

Upon entering the school, Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up.

"Did you hear that?"

A melodious, ringing song completely captivated Jiang Cheng.

"I heard it!"

"The other party's singing is good; I want to invite them."

"Shall I accompany you?"

Su Manyao was to give a speech on stage, but only after the event ended.

So they arrived a bit late.

When they reached the venue, they saw a little girl standing on the stage, smiling brightly.

Most importantly—

The singing was good!

The song ended.

Jiang Cheng was interested, so he directly blocked the other's path.

When the other saw Jiang Cheng, their eyes lit up with undisguised admiration.

He seemed to really like Jiang Cheng.

Su Manyao noticed this and involuntarily turned her gaze to the two of them.

Something's off!

Her intuition told Su Manyao that the little girl before her clearly had feelings for Jiang Cheng.

Despite that, the little girl hadn't done anything outrageous; Su Manyao could only watch as the girl's face lit up, staring fixedly at Jiang Cheng.

"Senior Jiang!"

"Do you know me?" Jiang Cheng exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that even after graduating, a student from the school would still know him.

"Yes!"

The little girl lowered her eyes slightly, her cheeks blushing.

"I've always known you, especially at school where stories about you circulate. I've always been looking for a chance to meet you, but I'm just an ordinary student." (End of chapter)
