Chapter 284: Welcome to the Game

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“You don’t have to know how I got to know about this, anyway... this matter is true. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask Quan Shaoteng...”

Xie Wanwan was muttering and mumbling with difficulty. She was not her usual fluent self.

After that, she stared at Xiang Wan. “... While I was on my way back, I saw Quan Shaoteng getting on a police car at the hotel entrance and left...”

Left in a police car?

Moreover, it was right outside the hotel entrance.

With regards to this, Xie Wanwan wouldn’t be lying as it would be too easy to see through.

That was to say, Quan Shaoteng did not care if their identity would be exposed anymore.

In other words, Bai Muchuan’s identity was exposed and no longer a secret.

If so, would the five of them who were in Brother Steel’s territory, be in danger?

“I want to go there...” Xie Wanwan said coldly after seeing her keeping quiet. “I’ve brought two bodyguards with me and two security officers from the film crew. It should not be a problem to go there and have a look... Do you want to come with me?”

She actually wanted to go there?

And wanted her to come along?

Xiang Wan stared at her with eyes wide-opened.

“Are you out of your mind?”

Not to mention that Xie Wanwan did not know where Bai Muchuan was.

Even if she knew and went there, would she really be able to help them?

“Please calm down! You can’t be rash about this—”

Xiang Wan tried to calm her down instead, and she actually felt weird.

“You don’t want to go?” Xie Wanwan could not understand what Xiang Wan was trying to tell her. She behaved similarly like a manic, her bloodshot eyes suddenly squinted and scrutinized Xiang Wan. “You’re scared, right? Is your love for him so shallow?”

Xiang Wan: “...”

This is not a question of being shallow?

Xiang Wan asked another question in return. “Tell me, how are you, a woman, be able to help him if you go there? Answer me first!”

“So what if I’m a woman? You’re a woman too? Are you looking down on women?”

“...”

She’s crazy!

She’s being illogical and unreasonable!

Xiang Wan pressed her lips tightly. She did not want to quarrel with Xie Wanwan.

Nonetheless, her silence seemed to make Xie Wanwan even more enraged.

She clenched her fist and punched it against the door. She seemed to be totally in a hysterical state.

“Forget it, it’s fine if you don’t want to go. I can’t force you... If Little Bai were to die, I don’t know what I’ll do... I might go crazy... I might even kill someone... Do you believe me?”

Xie Wanwan was beginning to spout nonsense.

If it wasn’t because of the current situation, Xiang Wan would have retorted her.

But at this very moment, there was no way she could dissuade an agitated Xie Wanwan.

“Bai Muchuan had instructed clearly that no matter what happens, I must not leave the hotel.”

Xiang Wan drew a circle in the air and continued. “It is like... the safety circle that Monkey King drew for Tang Monk to keep him safe. I can’t walk out of this safety circle. Do you understand?”

Xie Wanwan sneered as she looked at Xiang Wan. “I don’t understand. Fine! If you don’t want to go, I’ll go.”

She turned around and walked away.

The next moment, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Xiang Wan deeply.

“There’s one more thing that I must let you know... You’re always the target of these people, not Little Bai. If he dies! It’s because of you!”

Next, she showed Xiang Wan a photo by unlocking her mobile phone.

Xiang Wan lowered her head to look at the photo. She could clearly see that the person inside that photo was Bai Muchuan.

It was a picture of a gun pointing at Bai Muchuan’s head.

...

...

Xie Wanwan left.

Xiang Wan closed the door and kept looking at the time.

It was now 10 minutes to one o’clock.

The sky was getting darker.

It seemed it might rain.

She took her room card, her bag and went downstairs.

There was a Chinese restaurant in the hotel.

Xiang Wan went in and looked for a seat that was near the window. She sat down and looked out of the window, into the rustic looking streets.

There was no sign of prosperity on the streets of Nanmu. It was as though the world had abandoned this place. She could hardly spot any modern things that could be found in the shops. The businesses there didn’t seem to be doing well either. Most of the shops were closed with signboards showing either “For Rental” or “No transfer fee for the transfer of ownership”...

There were some folks where they took their stools and sat by the streets, chatting and knitting sweaters.

Such a scene felt like the era of the 80s and 90s.

Within a minute of looking at them, one would feel as if they had time traveled back to the past.

Xiang Wan looked at the streets so peacefully as though there were no signs of worry on her face.

She ordered a few dishes. Within five minutes, the food was served.

“Plase enjoy your meal,” said the waitress.

“Thank you!” Xiang Wan smiled at her.

She was amazed at herself for being able to smile at a time like this.

As she ate, she put her mobile phone on the table.

Diverting her attention seemed to be a good method.

Otherwise, what else could she do?

Xiang Wan refreshed and browsed through the messages. Still, there was nothing from Fang Yuanyuan.

Xiang Wan didn’t have a lot of people whom she really cared about in her life. Since there was nothing she could do for Bai Muchuan, she could only divert her attention to Fang Yuanyuan.

She sent a message. “Yuanyuan, what are you doing?”

Xiang Wan sent another message. “Where did you go sightseeing in Xi City?”

She sent another message again. “Why aren’t you replying to my messages?”

Fang Yuanyuan still never responded.

Xiang Wan stared at her bowl, feeling distracted. She decided to give Fang Yuanyuan a call.

“Sorry, the subscriber’s mobile phone has been turned off. Please try again later—”

Her phone has been turned off?

For no apparent reason, Xiang Wan got frustrated. Even more frustrated than seeing that photo of Bai Muchuan.

Suddenly, she felt a little angry at Xie Wanwan. Why did she have to let her know about all these?

And furthermore, did she really think that she was Wonder Woman?

Under such circumstances, if she went there, besides only able to create unnecessary trouble for Bai Muchuan, what else could she do?

Xiang Wan felt like pulling her hair out.

...

She decided to browse her reviews and comments page.

When she browsed that page and saw compliments from her readers, it would help to ease her tension.

...

Xiang Wan’s finger instantly got her to that page.

Eh? A particular comment caught her eyes.

“Welcome Yuan Qianqian for officially joining ‘The Temptation of the Rich and Famous’...”

What?

Xiang Wan’s heart skipped a beat.

She put down her chopsticks and launched QQ. She scrolled for Yuan Qianqian’s name and sent a message to her.

“Babe, you there?”

There was no reply.

“Haven’t I told you that ‘The Temptation of Rich and Famous’ is a scam?”

There was no reply.

“...”

Xiang Wan was the only customer in the restaurant.

Being alone in the silent, huge empty area felt like she was in a hopeless abyss.

Xiang Wan could hear her palpitating heartbeat ringing in her ears.

She took a deep breath, took a screenshot of the comment and sent that to Yuan Qianqian.

“This person is joking, right?”

“Are you there? Reply to me if you’re there please, quick! This is urgent!”

“Babe, don’t scare me please?”

“...”

It was as though the messages had sunk into the deep sea.

Xiang Wan did not have Yuan Qianqian’s mobile number.

She sat in the restaurant, her heart was burning like fire, but all she could do was to stare blankly on the screen of her phone.

She was hungry but the food that was in front of her could no longer stimulate her appetite.

Tap! Tap!

Tap! Tap!

Tap! Tap!

A series of footsteps seemed to be approaching her.

There were more than one set of footsteps and they seemed to walk slowly.

Xiang Wan turned her head slowly, as though it was those slow-motion scenes in movies.

She saw a face that gave her a cold feeling—Meng Chi.

He was not in a suit like that night in the hotpot restaurant. Instead, he was wearing a sweater and leisure pants with a pair of light-colored shades but his eyes seemed gloomy and grim.

There were two men following after him. From their appearance, they seemed to be his assistants.

Xiang Wan pursed her lips and nodded lightly at him, as a form of greeting.

Yet Meng Chi actually walked straight toward her. “Miss Xiang.”
