\u201cOh? I can\u2019t come today?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The blond man raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, and as soon as Brother Zhang spoke, he realized he had overreacted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Now that Qin Shi was under his company, it was perfectly normal for President Qin to come\u2014although the company owner usually didn\u2019t attend concerts of artists under them, wasn\u2019t this a special situation?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

How could the three people who had connections to President Ye possibly give up?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Fortunately, the blond man didn\u2019t pay much attention to him. He just patted his shoulder cheerfully and walked inside.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe family interaction segment requires family members to attend, of course.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Brother Zhang thought: “…”but you don\u2019t look like you\u2019re here as family today.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

It looked more like he was there to steal the wedding.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Looking at President Qin, who was dressed even more like the concert\u2019s main star than Xu Feng and radiated hormones from head to toe, Brother Zhang felt his vision go dark.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

He couldn\u2019t see the future of the concert.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Fortunately, he had someone who shared his misery with him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Brother Zhang slowly turned his head to look at Sheng Hai, the movie Emperor, standing next to the blond man.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The national movie Emperor now sat beside his boss with vacant eyes. Though he was dressed glamorously, he looked dull and lifeless.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

One could only say that the faint air of death emanating from him overshadowed all the makeup on him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Sheng Hai had actually come to be a supporting guest, a schedule confirmed a year ago. But judging by his expression, he was probably thinking about why he couldn\u2019t tear up that old contract.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Seeing Sheng Hai\u2019s expression oddly made Brother Zhang feel much better, and he even managed to force a smile as he watched the blond man walk toward the VIP area.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

In that VIP area, President Qin and President Ye were already seated.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014Of course, President Ye\u2019s assistant was there too.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

An Yang.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Just seeing the three of them seated there, Brother Zhang could sense the impending bloodbath.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Not to mention, President Qin would soon walk over.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Brother Zhang took a deep breath, added another layer of security to the VIP area, and even called the security company to request more staff.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

If he didn\u2019t add more people, something might happen, and it would be uncontrollable!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

While Brother Zhang was frazzled, An Yang, who had come to the concert with President Ye, remained calm.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

He had been a little surprised when he received the concert ticket from Xu Feng, not knowing why Xu Feng had given it to him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

He hadn\u2019t planned to come, but since both President Ye and President Qin had also received tickets, he decided it was fine.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

After all, he no longer had feelings for Brother Xu Feng, and Brother Xu Feng hadn\u2019t contacted him recently, which made An Yang feel their relationship had ended gracefully.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Although An Yang was also very curious why President Qin and President Ye were attending young master Qin\u2019s concert, considering the recent reputation of the Qin Group, such marketing was understandable.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014Of course, this was only President Ye\u2019s idea.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

As for President Qin, judging from his dark long coat and three-piece British-style suit, as if he were about to attend a Queen\u2019s banquet, his thoughts seemed completely different\u2014he even held a cane in his hand.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Especially the way President Qin forcibly turned the plastic chairs in the VIP area into a throne-like setup.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2018Like a lion in mating season\u2026\u2019<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

While An Yang was thinking this, someone arrived to President Qin\u2019s right.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

An Yang had initially thought it might be some other fan who had bought a VIP ticket, but when he looked, his heart skipped a beat.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

It wasn\u2019t a fan at all.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014It was the flamboyant President Qin himself.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

His outfit looked like he was about to go on stage, with exaggerated tassels and sashes on his shoulders, perfectly balanced by his face.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Anyone unaware would have thought he was the performer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

His carefully styled hair further accentuated his flamboyant aura.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

He didn\u2019t hide his purpose at all, giving President Ye a wink.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cBrother Wangxing, long time no see. I sprayed on the perfume you gave me today. Want to smell it?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, after taking just a few steps, his path was blocked by his elder brother\u2019s crossed legs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The tall man\u2019s expression didn\u2019t change, but his presence became even more imposing. Even the girls coming to the concert behind him didn\u2019t dare to pass.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

President Qin, however, was not intimidated. He smiled slyly at his brother, and the two men remained locked in a standoff.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The minor commotion in the VIP area caught others\u2019 attention. An Yang saw many people raising their phones to film, and he immediately became anxious.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Qin Group\u2019s stock had just stabilized, and nothing could go wrong. Any mishap could ruin President Ye\u2019s reputation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Thinking this, An Yang boldly approached President Ye and whispered his speculation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

After hearing An Yang\u2019s guess, President Ye frowned and quietly spoke to the two men beside him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAlright, sit down. Don\u2019t disturb others. Whatever it is, we\u2019ll talk about it after the concert.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Under President Ye\u2019s stern reprimand, the two finally stopped their confrontation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

President Qin no longer looked at his younger brother, and President Qin obediently sat back in his seat, though his lips were pouted as high as the sky.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Once they were seated, the other boys and girls finally dared to come over.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Although they didn\u2019t dare speak because of the two men\u2019s imposing presence, they still whispered among themselves, trying to figure out what was going on.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWasn\u2019t this supposed to be the family area? How come people who clearly look like business elites are here\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cMy god, I didn\u2019t even dare step forward just now. Their aura was so strong. If that handsome guy hadn\u2019t spoken, I wouldn\u2019t have dared to go forward.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAlright, alright, just sit down. The bodyguards beside them have seen us. Them being here doesn\u2019t affect us, so stop gossiping about them.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The audience murmured quietly, but soon they began talking about the concert itself, their voices gradually returning to normal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Little did they know, the handsome guy they had been discussing was sitting quietly in his seat, sighing inwardly and mentally apologizing to them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Because their presence here could really affect him later.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

However\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u3010<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>19, are Qin Shi\u2019s fans confirmed to be excluded?<\/span><\/span>\u3011<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u3010<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Don\u2019t worry, host. Everyone here is a Xu Feng fan.<\/span><\/span>\u3011<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

19 calm voice sounded.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u3010<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>I guarantee that when Qin Shi\u2019s situation collapses, no one will suffer financial loss.<\/span><\/span>\u3011<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Many people outside the VIP area had also seen what had just happened, and some quickly posted online, asking who these people were.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

But some recognized them immediately.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026It seems like Qin Shi\u2019s father. You know the new energy industrial park recently built in our city A? It belongs to his family.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wang Qing squinted at the scene for a while, then whispered to her companion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her companion didn\u2019t know and could only see four handsome men sitting there. Upon hearing Wang Qing\u2019s explanation, her face immediately showed surprise.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cMy god, how did you know that?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI work at an auction house. We held a charity evening auction, and I was responsible for delivering the lots. I met a young man who somehow made a piece of imperial green jade, a Wushi Plaque, look like a consecrated Buddha statue.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

After Wang Qing said this, her companion remembered.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cYou mean that time you told me rich people really don\u2019t care about money? That 2 million yuan jade Wushi Plaque went up to over 4 million?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her companion spoke in astonishment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wang Qing sighed and said: “Yes, the one who bought that jade Wushi Plaque was Qin Shi\u2019s father, the chairman of Qin Group. That imperial green Wushi Plaque was for his partner, Qin Shi\u2019s stepfather.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her companion clicked her tongue in admiration: “Rich people really are generous\u2014imperial green Wushi Plaque, just like that, they give it away.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wang Qing nodded.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAt the time, I also thought, no wonder Qin Shi is so willful. If he writes a song and can\u2019t find a suitable singer, he just doesn\u2019t sell it. Turns out he has his father backing him up.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her companion, however, had a different opinion. She pulled Wang Qing to a seat and whispered gossipingly,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cActually, Qin Shi probably had a falling out with his father. Didn\u2019t you see his management contract was transferred to that President Qin? Although that President Qin is his uncle, he\u2019s notorious in the industry for mixing business and personal affairs, and for spreading scandals.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cEven though he\u2019s quieted down these past few months, old habits die hard. That President Qin never showed much concern for his nephew, and not long after the contract was transferred, he downgraded him from lead singer to accompaniment.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her companion whispered, and Wang Qing nodded. This matter had also caused an uproar online.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

But since Qin Shi himself said it was his decision, the online scolding eventually fizzled out.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Of course, this was only one version. Various claims circulated online.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Some said Qin Shi really didn\u2019t want to participate but attended to help his uncle after his management contract was transferred.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Others claimed Qin Group had financial problems\u2014but this theory collapsed once the new energy industrial park was completed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

After discussing the online rumors for a while, Wang Qing and her companion lost interest in the gossip, since none of it was confirmed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

They quickly turned their attention to the concert itself.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her companion said excitedly: “By the way, I heard in the fan group that a big scandal might be revealed at this concert. I don\u2019t know what it is, but I hope it doesn\u2019t affect the show.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wang Qing nodded. She wasn\u2019t interested in the personal lives of idols, she just wanted to enjoy a concert over the weekend.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

She had listened to a few of Xu Feng\u2019s songs and was a casual fan, so she chose his concert.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI really hope so. But I have a feeling today\u2019s scandal isn\u2019t small,\u201d Wang Qing whispered.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her companion looked puzzled. Wang Qing pointed out the unusually high number of security personnel and whispered,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cDidn\u2019t you notice? There are several times more security than usual, mostly young and strong guys holding riot shields. It\u2019s almost like soccer match-level security.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her companion gasped quietly: “I didn\u2019t notice before. Could it be\u2026 Xu Feng is going to confess to someone at the concert?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Besides this, her companion really couldn\u2019t think of a reason why a concert would need security personnel of this level.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wang Qing also thought it was possible. She quickly scanned the VIP section in the front rows, but no matter how she scanned, she couldn\u2019t locate who might be Xu Feng\u2019s confession target.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

After all, the people in the front row were either obviously related by blood to Qin Shi, or had marital ties with Qin Shi\u2019s father.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The remaining person, sitting over there, even handed a wet tissue to another, clearly an assistant. For a wealthy person of their level, having an assistant was normal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The other people matching the gender and age were much older, and those who matched in age looked frankly unremarkable.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wang Qing and her companion scanned back and forth, unable to locate anyone. They could only take a photo and leave the problem to the netizens, then clasped their hands together, praying that Xu Feng wouldn\u2019t delay the performance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

At least wait until after the show to reveal the big news.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

She really was just an ordinary passerby fan who wanted to watch the concert!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

While Wang Qing prayed, the man sitting beside her put down his phone and looked at the VIP section with a look of regret.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

He had thought he could kill two birds with one stone\u2014using the concert to suppress the Qin family as well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

But now it seemed he had overestimated, after all, they were Qin family members. They wouldn\u2019t be reckless like Xu Feng.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

He focused on photographing Xu Feng\u2019s public confession, preparing to launch a stock price strike against Shixing for safety.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Thinking this, he adjusted his shooting angle again, clicking several photos and sending them to the fan army team.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The key was to guide online attention toward the first row of VIP seats.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Which person they focused on didn\u2019t matter, as long as the netizens\u2019 gaze concentrated there, when Xu Feng confessed, online public opinion would explode instantly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Speaking of which, Liang Qing had to thank President Ye. If Ye hadn\u2019t sent him to Qin\u2019s company, he couldn\u2019t have boldly targeted Xu Feng.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

After all, if Qin Shi were at Shixing, he would have acted with restraint.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

But now\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Liang Qing saw that the fan army had already directed the discussion online toward the front VIP seats, and netizens were starting to notice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

President Qin identity was quickly exposed, and Qin Qiu identity beside him didn\u2019t last five minutes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Seeing much of the crowd subtly turning toward the first VIP row, Liang Qing knew his plan had succeeded.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

He looked at President Ye, sitting anxiously, and felt much better.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

He still hadn\u2019t given up on Shixing, Xu Feng was the breakthrough he had spotted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Recently, the matter between An Yang and Xu Feng had been the talk of the elite families.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Although some less-informed people didn\u2019t even know when An Yang and Xu Feng had married.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

After learning the truth, they sighed in relief that An Yang had woken up.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

They also whispered about how unfair the Xu and An families had been.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

No need to mention the An family, their reputation was already ruined in the circle. But hearing about the Xu family\u2019s unfairness, they were stunned\u2014it was the first time they had heard of it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWhat did they think that child was? Selling him to one family, then another. Luckily, President Ye noticed him so he escaped suffering.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Some people still thought An Yang was ungrateful\u2014having left the Xu family, where else could he go?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026He\u2019s now a rising star by President Ye\u2019s side, with multiple projects, all in the Middle East, and extensive client connections.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

In response to such doubts, those who knew the truth immediately laughed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cOnly the An couple couldn\u2019t see gold in jade. Did you really follow their thinking and treat him as a useless kid?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The words were dripping with mockery but improved An Yang\u2019s reputation within the circle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Liang Qing also pushed matters from behind.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The better An Yang\u2019s reputation, the worse his parents reputation. Once they exposed the An parents, it would attract most of the attention, and Xu Feng\u2014who had reached agreements with the An parents\u2014would become the target of outrage.Liang Qing mentally offered a half-hearted apology to Xu Feng and eagerly awaited the stage opening.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

To capture the clearest shots, he upgraded his equipment and hired a professional photographer. Sitting in the first VIP row, he prepared to record Xu Feng\u2019s confession in high-quality footage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

He had casually bought a ticket and sat in position, ready to adapt at any moment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

As Liang Qing made these preparations, the audience gradually took their seats, and the venue slowly filled. Fans behind Liang Qing excitedly began discussing the concert.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI wonder which songs Ah Feng will sing? I brought my lyric book\u2014I hope I get them right! This is the first concert!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI specially prepared my DSLR. I don\u2019t know who grabbed all the VIP tickets so fast. Except for the first row of family tickets, the next four rows had dozens of seats, and I didn\u2019t get a single one. I even used the company\u2019s high-speed internet!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWell, at least this seat lets me see the stage. If I got a upper-view seat, that would\u2019ve been miserable.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Under their discussion, the lights at the venue finally dimmed, and the concert screens gradually lit up.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The audience immediately cheered and took out their phones to capture the concert, posting the scenes online.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

On Weibo, the hashtag \u201cXu Feng Concert\u201d gradually appeared on the trending list and slowly climbed upward.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wang Qing and her friends, however, forgot about the gossip they had just seen and immersed themselves in the concert experience.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The atmosphere at the venue was truly engaging, and Xu Feng had no accidents on stage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

It wasn\u2019t until the intermission, when Sheng Hai came on stage as host and the concert entered the family-and-friends interaction segment, that they began to sense something was off.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Xu Feng came down to interact with his parents. Their unpleasant expressions could almost count as a performance mishap.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Why did Sheng Hai look so awkward standing alone on stage? Was this a form of collective isolation?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Moreover, why did the band also interact with family and friends during this segment?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

While the people at the venue looked bewildered, Brother Zhang, standing to the side of the stage as the manager, silently covered his face.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Although Xu Feng had promised his family he wouldn\u2019t confess at the concert, who could trust Xu Feng\u2019s promises?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Especially since Xu Feng\u2019s eyes were practically glued to An Yang!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

If Xu Feng\u2019s father hadn\u2019t blocked him in time, this performance mishap might have ended up on the big screen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

But\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Brother Zhang looked at the guy in the VIP section holding a DSLR pointed at Xu Feng and realized today\u2019s chaos could only be contained until the concert ended. Afterwards, online opinion would depend on whoever reacted fastest.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, An Yang didn\u2019t pay attention to Xu Feng, instead, all his focus was on President Ye in front of him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

President Ye, next to him, had been tense since Qin Shi came down, and it was CEO Qin holding his hand to calm him that allowed him to relax temporarily.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Qin Shi\u2019s otherwise normal actions also helped President Ye gradually ease.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

An Yang didn\u2019t notice that behind him, Xu Feng was slowly approaching under the guise of chatting with the band, his hand slipping into his pants pocket.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Liang Qing, however, noticed. Excitedly, he sent a message to the fan army team to get ready and raised his phone to film Xu Feng.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Unfortunately, others at the venue weren\u2019t letting Xu Feng act freely.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Xu Feng\u2019s father and mother decisively stepped forward to restrain him, creating a seemingly perfect family-of-three scene.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2014Ah Feng\u2019s family members are so enthusiastic hahaha\u201d Sheng Hai said, forcing a professional smile, but his eyes were vacant. He watched Xu Feng, clearly trying to run toward An Yang, without much reaction.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2026After all, compared with the Qin family next to him, this situation was trivial.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Qin Shi\u2019s handshake gestures really didn\u2019t look like a warm father-son or uncle-nephew bond, there seemed to be tension among the three.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

But a little tension was fine, as long as it remained consistent when facing President Ye.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Sheng Hai continued smiling, his handsome face stiff under the stage lights like a modeled robot.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Fortunately, few in the audience were paying attention to him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Still, Sheng Hai knew that even if no one watched him now, their phones were still raised.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

By the end of the concert, he expected \u201cSheng Hai\u2019s professional fake smile\u201d to trend on social media.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

He thought sadly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

But soon he realized he probably wouldn\u2019t need to trend.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014Because a bigger trending topic appeared.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Sheng Hai scanned below at Xu Feng from the stage, fearing he would break free from his parents\u2019 control. Luckily, An Yang\u2019s parents, the plastic VIP chairs, and the narrow gaps between them blocked Xu Feng\u2019s movements.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014He looked like a Chihuahua trapped in a cluster of poles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

His impotent rage was painfully real. Just two more minutes and the segment would be over.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Sheng Hai, eager for relief, had hope in his eyes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Then he saw Qin Shi, walking to President Ye and simply pick him up in a hug.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The embrace between the gloomy young man and the handsome man was broadcast on the big screen by the clueless director.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The audience erupted in noise. Since Qin Shi had already left the entertainment industry, people were merely curious\u2014was this his boyfriend?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

But Sheng Hai sensed danger.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

He gaped at the two on the screen, recognizing the pose immediately.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Xu Feng, too, looked shocked at the screen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The familiar arms wrapped around from behind, the pale hands climbing up the neck\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n
