CHAPTER 742: CHAPTER 742 EXPOSURE

Three cars sped along the road—it was Ye Fan and his group.

In the lead car were Ye Fan, the Mengyao sisters, along with Qiu Wen and Shen Yaqing, totaling five people.

Biyao and Wang Hong had come to pick them up with two cars; sitting together, there was still plenty of space. Moreover, with the addition of the car driven by Anna, more than ten people in three cars felt especially roomy.

As for Anna, no one paid her much mind. To Ye Fan, she must have been a friend of Biyao’s.

In Biyao’s heart, she was already convinced Anna was a friend of her brother-in-law and sister.

Thus, Anna mingled into Ye Fan’s group.

Anna’s intention was to first get close to Ye Fan and the others, then reveal her true purpose. This approach was rather unscrupulous and a bit underhanded, but she was forced to do so. Without using some tactics, it would be nearly impossible to get close to Ye Fan and his group.

If she blatantly revealed her identity and went to visit them openly, Ye Fan and the others might not even acknowledge her.

"You’re Du Xueqi, right? President Chu’s personal secretary. I’ve heard about you long ago..." Anna greeted with a smile. The people in the car, including Du Xueqi, did not know Anna, but Anna knew quite a lot about Du Xueqi and the others.

"You must be a friend from Bi Yao Film and Television Company, quite unfamiliar. I’ve never seen you before." Du Xueqi said, intriguingly.

"We’ll naturally get very familiar in the future, and who knows, there might be plenty of opportunities for cooperation." Anna smiled and said, "To you all, I’m a stranger, so please take care of me."

Her words were naturally ambiguous and full of special meaning.

Simply put, she didn’t dare say straightforward things. No way Anna could admit she’s not a friend of Biyao’s, right?

Saying that would arouse hostility from Du Xueqi and the others, a naturally occurring event.

Therefore, in front of Du Xueqi, Anna could only tacitly admit she was a friend of Biyao’s.

"No problem, we don’t have many rules here, it’s like a big family, don’t feel pressured, you’ll understand this in the future." Du Xueqi said courteously, implying she considered Anna one of them.

In their minds, anyone brought by Biyao personally must be a sister from the same family, so they weren’t aloof but rather welcoming.

Du Xueqi wasn’t speaking empty words, her meaning was something Anna couldn’t fully grasp, only those close to Ye Fan and Mengyao deeply understood this. Being with Ye Fan was truly like being in one big family, harmonious and casual.

"Thank you," Anna said sincerely.

In her mind, Du Xueqi was just being polite, so she didn’t take it seriously.

Actually, Anna had another concern: how to handle the ensuing situation?

Approaching them with a concealed intent, once exposed, things could blow up. Now, caught in a dilemma, she could only use one lie to cover another. If she told one lie, she naturally needed countless lies to conceal it.

Initially, she couldn’t think of a good way to approach Ye Fan’s group naturally.

After racking her brains, she hadn’t thought of any good excuses.

By chance, she met Biyao, and she then had her idea.

Now she could only ignore her conscience and talk nonsense, just wanting to muddle through the current interaction, as for how to handle it later, she hadn’t thought it through, simply taking it one step at a time—this was the only solution she could think of.

Anna, being talkative, chatted warmly with Du Xueqi and the others, significantly closing the distance.

In the middle car, Wang Hong was chatting with Han Bihong and the others.

Han Bihong and the others had been following Biyao closely, and were naturally familiar with Wang Hong, which is why they were in the same car.

Fortunately, Wang Hong wasn’t in the same car with Anna, otherwise, Anna’s lie would have fallen through, and Wang Hong would certainly have pointed at Anna and said, "What? Aren’t you friends with Mr. Ye and President Chu? How could you not recognize Miss Du Xueqi and the others? And yet, in front of Miss Du Xueqi and the others, claimed to be Biyao’s friend? Kidding, wouldn’t I know Biyao’s friends? Tell me, who are you? Coming close to us with one lie after another, what ulterior motives could you have?"

Wang Hong’s words would naturally spill out.

Anna could only count her blessings, if she had been with Wang Hong, her identity would have been exposed long ago.

Du Xueqi and the others wouldn’t stand idle, they would definitely toss this scheming person out of the car at the first opportunity.

"You probably don’t know, Biyao almost got into trouble, seven or eight kidnappers were about to kidnap us when a man suddenly appeared. That man was odd, he just said a few words, and scared the seven or eight kidnappers off, tumbling away." Wang Hong started talking to Han Bihong and the others, revealing what had just happened not long ago.

When mentioning Biyao’s near-danger, Wang Hong still had a lingering fearful look.

"It’s all in the past now. We’re here, so there’s no need to worry anymore. However, those thugs who dared to attack Biyao must be found and won’t rest until they are dead." Han Bihong vowed.

They also had a lingering fear; if something really happened to Biyao, it would have been much more serious.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

Han Bihong and the others didn’t know who the man who intervened was, but could naturally guess it was someone from Elder Fu’s side. Apart from that, it couldn’t have been such a coincidence that saved Biyao.

Inside Ye Fan’s car.

Biyao also talked about her experience, Mengyao, still in shock, said, "Nothing happened, right?"

"Nothing happened, those bad guys didn’t even touch my sleeve before they ran off." Biyao laughed carelessly.

"That’s good." Mengyao finally relaxed.

Qiu Wen and Shen Yaqing suddenly carried a faint killing intent; daring to lay a hand on Biyao spelled certain doom.

Ye Fan remained calm; before he went to Japan, he had discussed matters with Elder Fu. If Elder Fu couldn’t handle these minor domestic issues, it would be disappointing.

Actually, Ye Fan was very clear in judging the situation. In Biyao’s case, it was a false alarm, impossible for her to be in danger under Elder Fu’s watchful eyes.

"Brother-in-law, I just had a brush with death, and you don’t care about me?" Biyao pouted.

"Didn’t nothing happen?" Ye Fan said blandly.

"You’re always like this, always acting like nothing could possibly go wrong," Biyao said, feeling wronged.

Suddenly, her expression turned serious, "But, that friend of yours seems a bit strange. She said she met you in Japan, but you’ve only just returned from Japan. Did she leave Japan early to pick you up? Besides, wasn’t it enough for me to pick you up? Even if she is a friend, you aren’t so close that she’d pick you up, right?"

Biyao, being sharp and exceptionally keen, naturally sensed the slight oddity emanating from Anna.

She brought it up then and there.
