Chapter 2608: That was what Ji Yan said!

“Shh! The walls have ears.”

“It doesn’t scare me! I’m someone who speaks frankly and does things out in the open. Since I dare to say this, I’m not afraid to admit what I said in front of others! I’m different from that b*tch who dared not admit her sordid affairs!”

The two people were happily chatting away as they exited the bathroom, only to see, much to their horror, a frosty-looking Hua Jin standing right at the entrance.

Their eyes went wide in shock as they nervously stammered his name and then bit their tongues.

The man trained his frigid, expressionless orbs on the two as he silently sized them up. His gaze was akin to two sharp blades, which sliced into their flesh.

“Who was the one who said ‘that b*tch wants to set up her name-sake’?”

“…”

The ladies hung their heads low with their bodies trembling hard from fear. They dared not even make a squeak, much less come forward to admit their wrongdoings.

“What? Didn’t I hear someone claiming that they speak frankly and do things out in the open? What is going on now then? Why are you being such a coward and not daring to come clean with me?”

His usual voice had a youthful quality, which was as crystal clear as a flowing stream, but right now, it was low and solemn. One could not help shivering at the coldness of it as if a chilling fog had seeped into their bone marrows.

“I—”

“What? Speak properly! Which one of you accused Shishi of being a ‘third party’ and a ‘b*tch’?” He looked at the costume designer and barked, “Is it you?”

“N-No! It’s not me…”

The woman waved her hands in the air in a frantic attempt to clear her name.

She had all along been a fervent fan of his, which was why she felt so upset at seeing the idol being on such close terms with Yun Shishi.

The other female, on the other hand, was scared witless. The moment she felt his piercing gaze on her, she suddenly recalled his reputation of being a cruel and vicious person, and her legs almost gave way at that point.

She was on the verge of tears as she squeaked, “I-It’s me… I was the one who said—”

Before she could finish her words, his hand went around her neck and pinned her to the wall behind her.

“Ah!”

“N-No, Hua Jin—don’t!”

Her companion rushed forward at once and pleaded for mercy on her behalf, only to be shaken off by the idol with a fling of his arm.

His temper flared. “Get lost!”

“Hua Jin…”

He ignored the crying woman beside him and stared straight at the one in front of him, questioning, “You accused Shishi of being a third party? How did this start?! How did she end up being a third party for no rhyme or reason?!”

Although he appeared to be choking her, he did not actually exert much force in his hand. This was to give her some leeway to breathe and speak.

Since his return to the production team, he could vaguely sense that the atmosphere on set was a bit off. He did not pay much attention to it at first, but the conversation he inadvertently heard between these two ladies shocked him.

Shishi is a third party?

The production team is talking about this?

Why?

“Hua Jin…”

“Get talking!” Fury burned within him as he barked his question at her. “Just what the hell is going on?!”

“T-That’s what Ji Yan said!” stammered the woman, pushing all the blame onto the actress.

“Ji Yan? Her?!”

The answer got him frowning in perplexity, while surprise and anger shone in his eyes.
