Yuan Shu’s calmness made Wang Ping afraid, especially when he thought of how she had waved the whip that day. He felt that this woman definitely wasn’t to be trifled with.

He returned to the cabin and sat opposite Yuan Shu before he said in a low voice, “How do you know? If Miss Song wants your reputation to be ruined, it’s impossible for her not to contact me.”

However, Yuan Shu shook her head. “It would have been best if she could ruin my reputation in the beginning, but things have changed now. I’ve been missing for almost 24 hours. If the police get involved, Miss Song won’t just want my reputation to be ruined, but she’ll want us both to disappear.”

She said “we” especially forcefully, intending to let Wang Ping know that Song Shi didn’t just want a video now.

“There must be something wrong. At first, she said that she would help you unconditionally. Perhaps you agreed to her suggestion in a fit of anger, but you didn’t expect that the dignified eldest daughter of the Song family would help you.” Yuan Shu’s voice was gentle and steady, but every word she said shocked Wang Ping.

It wasn’t that Wang Ping had not thought of this, but he chose to believe that Song Shi, that stupid woman, would definitely give him money. When he had money, he could send Yuan Shu back safely. He wouldn’t offend either side and could escape scott-free.

Yuan Shu saw through his thoughts and continued, “If she doesn’t have a sense of threat, she won’t know how important you are. If you’re worthless, there’s no need for you to exist.”

“Value? Hmph, do you think you’re still valuable? You’re just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. What value do you think you have? If I kill you here, no one will know!” Wang Ping was a little exasperated by her words, but he was only saying so to intimidate her. He had never thought of killing anyone.

“Of course I’m valuable.” Yuan Shu sighed as she said, “Not only am I valuable to Song Shi, but I’m also valuable to you. I’m the only bargaining chip in your hands. If you want to get the money Song Shi promised, you have to take action.”

Wang Ping looked at her skeptically. At this moment, his phone suddenly rang, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. “Miss Yuan, you miscalculated. Did you see that? Miss Song took the initiative to contact me!”

“Wang Ping! When are you going to give me the video? Did you get someone to release the news? Are you courting death?” Song Shi’s exasperated voice sounded.

Just as Song Shi was thinking about how to deal with Wang Ping, photos of Yuan Shu and Jiang Chen secretly meeting each other several times popped up on the Internet. There were even a few photos of Jiang Chen looking at Yuan Shu lovingly on the filming set.

Originally, Yuan Shu was going to act for the first time, and with Shen Lu as a signboard, this movie had attracted a lot of attention. When it started filming, it had already attracted a lot of publicity. Although nothing happened after that, many netizens still remembered it. Recalling that the engagement between Song Shi and Jiang Chen had just been announced not long ago, the netizens all went online to read about the drama.

“Jiang Chen rarely shows his face, but he has met Yuan Shu so many times?”

“Who wouldn’t like a bombshell like Yuan Shu? Even if Jiang Chen is attracted to her, it’s not a big deal, right? Besides, she’s divorced now.”

“Wasn’t Jiang Chen engaged to Song Shi? I heard that it was announced suddenly. There wasn’t even an engagement ceremony. Could it be that the Song family was forcing him to?”

“I’ve heard that Song Shi has been pestering Jiang Chen, but the news has been suppressed. In fact, everyone in upper society knows about it.”

“Did Yuan Shu get a divorce because of Jiang Chen? Did Song Shi snatch Jiang Chen away? How melodramatic!”

When Song Shi saw the blurry picture, she recognized Jiang Chen at a glance. She was so angry that she almost called him to ask him why he went out alone with Yuan Shu and why he was so nice to her, but she held back.

She knew Jiang Chen didn’t like women trying to control him, and he didn’t even like anyone bossing him around. Old Master Song had forced him to agree to the engagement at the banquet, which was already his bottom line. At this time, she couldn’t anger him anymore.

However, as long as Yuan Shu’s reputation was ruined, she didn’t believe that Jiang Chen would still fancy her!

“I can gather five million yuan for you immediately. I want the video now! Immediately!”

Wang Ping hung up the phone in a good mood and said proudly to Yuan Shu, “Did you see that? I’ll obtain five million yuan soon.”

Originally, Yuan Shu had a plan. As long as Wang Ping could spread some news, she believed that someone would be able to find out about her disappearance. At that time, it wouldn’t be difficult to find her. However, she didn’t expect things to change so quickly, and her plan was ruined..
