When the male assistant saw that it was her, he showed a constrained, helpless, and somewhat awkward smile.
He opened his mouth and closed it again, as if unsure whether he should talk to her.
Jiang Liuyue waved her hand, acting warm and at ease, as if chatting with an old friend:
"You're not Sister Feile's assistant anymore, what are you afraid of by talking to me?"
Only later did she learn from the male assistant that Li Feile had recently been secretly plotting something big, then flew into a rage and fired all her staff.
Afraid they would mess up her big plan.
The male assistant hesitated, then lowered his voice and said, "I heard... a repair shop, brakes, and tires and stuff."
After hearing these key words, Jiang Liuyue relayed them to Song Hanzheng, asking him to have professionals investigate.
Sure enough, following this lead, it turned out that Li Feile was inextricably linked to the matter.
Last night, law enforcement was dispatched urgently, arresting Li Feile as she was about to fly abroad for a vacation right at the airport.
Rumor had it that when she was stopped at the airport, the look on her face was absolutely priceless.
Going from disbelief to rage to fear.
That was how today's scene of arresting Lin Mei and her son came about.
The phone call earlier was also from the law enforcement to Jiang Liuyue; Li Feile had already confessed everything in the station and named her accomplices.
...
Three months later.
Because the female lead, Li Feile, was implicated in a murder case, the Cat Servant production team decided to reshoot for safety.
A very talented actress was brought in as the new female lead, and Jiang Liuyue, as the second female lead, returned to the set for supplementary reshoots.
On the way driving her to the set, sunlight fell across Song Hanzheng's profile through the car window.
One hand on the steering wheel, the other resting on the gear stick, he spoke casually:
"Really don't want the female lead role?"
Jiang Liuyue smiled without a hint of hesitation.
"I've already finished shooting the female lead role for Falling Star."
"As for Cat Servant, I'm quite satisfied with my queen character. Besides, I'm the leading lady in your life, aren't I?"
Hearing this, Song Hanzheng laughed, the smile spreading from the corners of his mouth to his eyes.
He held onto the steering wheel with one hand and gently squeezed her hand with the other.
His thumb brushed over the back of her hand twice, and his voice was low:
"Baby, you are my whole world."
Jiang Liuyue noticed he was becoming more and more skilled at sweet talk.
And ever since they had become intimate, he clung to her every second, afraid someone might take her away.
Actually, it was not really his fault.
Mainly, that sneaky Cen Yuan appeared out of nowhere. Every time Song Hanzheng was away on business or busy, somehow—like he had a third eye—he would show up around Jiang Liuyue to engineer "coincidental" encounters.
One day bringing coffee, the next handing over flowers, the day after that "just happening" to pass by the set.
His persistence made people wonder if he was serious.
Once, Jiang Liuyue couldn't help asking him: "Li Feile is in jail now, aren't you going to visit her?"
Cen Yuan waved his hand: "Visit her? No, I only look at the person I like."
Jiang Liuyue flatly rejected him, not mincing her words: "But I only like Song Hanzheng."
Cen Yuan acted as if he didn't understand human language, his trademark smile perfectly intact, his tone playful and stubborn:
"It doesn't matter. I like you, that's enough."
Suddenly, Jiang Liuyue's phone buzzed with a few text messages.
The moment her fingertips touched the screen and her eyes landed on the words, she froze.
Her hand hung motionless in midair.
Song Hanzheng, who was driving, sensed something was wrong. He glanced sideways at her, his gaze pausing on her face for a moment.
His voice carried a note of vigilance and concern: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Liuyue had long since blocked that person's number.
But apparently, he had gotten hold of a new phone number somehow.
She stared at the line of text on the screen for two seconds, then said calmly: "It's Lin Yizhou. He's going abroad."
In the case of the Song Tianqi car accident, it was ultimately determined that Li Feile was the mastermind and Lin Mei was an accessory.
Lin Mei took all the blame upon herself, telling the authorities that Lin Yizhou knew nothing.
She claimed that all the communication with the repair shop and the tampering with the tires were handled solely by her and Li Feile, with no connection to her son.
As for why Li Feile was identified as the mastermind—that was because the repair shop before the accident had been arranged by her, and there was irrefutable evidence: call records, transfer records, chat logs.
Moreover, her phone conversation with Lin Yizhou had been fully recorded.
From that dialogue, it was crystal clear that Li Feile was orchestrating everything premeditatedly.
It was an act of revenge, driven by spite.
Throughout the first half of her life, Li Feile had been pampered and things had gone smoothly for her. She could have whatever she wanted, achieve whatever she wished; she had never tasted the flavor of "not getting what you want."
But when trouble came, Cen Yuan refused to help, and Song Hanzheng turned a blind eye.
All the people who once surrounded her were gone. All that awaited her was a ruined career and paying the appropriate price for this murder case.
"What are you thinking about?" Song Hanzheng looked at Jiang Liuyue, who was silently gripping her phone.
Jiang Liuyue lifted her eyes, her gaze fixed on the road ahead, her tone carrying a hint of undisguised sarcasm:
"Lin Yizhou is the real mastermind."
"Li Feile is indeed hateful, but making her and Lin Mei bear the consequences while Lin Yizhou casually leaves the country… doesn't seem quite fair."
"Yeah," Song Hanzheng turned his head and smiled at her.
Initially, he had been afraid of scaring her, since not everyone could calmly accept the idea of "an eye for an eye."
But seeing Jiang Liuyue's attitude, he felt much more at ease.
He hinted subtly: "Don't worry. Everyone must answer for what they have done, Lin Yizhou included."
He paused, then added, lowering his voice, "Overseas, there are even better ways to get things done."
Jiang Liuyue understood. She nodded without asking for details.
Song Hanzheng suddenly tightened his grip on her hand, his strength a little greater than usual.
A flicker of inquiry, and a hint of carefulness, crossed his eyes:
"You don't think I'm ruthless?"
"No," Jiang Liuyue shook her head, her voice clear and firm.
"Kindness also needs to have its edge. And if being a 'villain' makes this world more fair and just, then I hope there are more villains like that."
They exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.
The best lovers are not just those who understand each other but also those whose thoughts move in harmony.
When you reach out, I know what you're reaching for; when you're silent, I know what's on your mind; when you make a decision, I don't need your explanation.
Because the view I see is the same as yours.
Fortunately,
he had found that.
