Chapter 1404: Chapter 1404: You’re Going to Be the Death of Me
A certain celebrity gathering.
A man also saw the overwhelming online comments and smiled, "There’s a guy named Ye Fan who has provoked Guan Shaoqiu. Now it’s going to be lively. The flood of insults and denunciations is sweeping in like a tide. I’ll join the fun and lend some support to Guan Shaoqiu. I’m not close friends with him, but he has helped me before."
Just as this man was about to assist Guan Shaoqiu, a gentle voice hurriedly interrupted, "Wait, let me see."
The speaker was Chen Yifei, also a top-tier celebrity, with a reputation no less than Chu Biyao’s.
The entanglements and grievances between Chu Biyao and Chen Yifei run deep.
Speaking of Chen Yifei, the recent encounters with Ye Fan happened at the Zhao family, during the old master’s birthday. Her identity was Zhao Gui’s girlfriend. The true culprit behind Zhao Hai’s death surfaced, and Zhao Zhongtian and Heipi were brought to justice. Zhao Gui left the country, fleeing overseas. Zhao Feipeng and Jian Tao’s mother and daughter did not pursue them relentlessly, leaving Zhao Gui like a forsaken exile.
In such circumstances, Chen Yifei and Zhao Gui parted on bad terms and broke up directly.
When Chen Yifei heard the name Ye Fan, it was as if she had touched a terrifying taboo, and her face changed.
The man handed her a phone. As Chen Yifei looked at the Weibo post with Ye Fan’s photo and tens of thousands of insults, her face turned pale. She knew Guan Shaoqiu had kicked a hornet’s nest and was doomed.
Her good relationship with Guan Shaoqiu made her feel sorry for him, having provoked such trouble.
"Daring to make Guan Shaoqiu a driver, only such ignorant fools can say that." Other celebrities were also browsing their phones, regardless of their stance, rallied to Guan Shaoqiu, denouncing Ye Fan.
"What happened? Why do you look so pale?" the man asked Chen Yifei, puzzled.
"Guan Shaoqiu is finished," Chen Yifei sighed.
"Finished? How is that possible?"
"What’s really going on? Is this Ye Fan someone with a significant background?"
Realizing the odd atmosphere, everyone turned their eyes to Chen Yifei.
"It’s not just about having a background. Do you know who the hidden boss behind Ma Qianqiu, the patriarch of the Ma Family, a major shareholder of your company, is?" Chen Yifei asked gravely.
"Who is it?" The man asked instinctively, sensing something ominous.
"It’s Ye Fan," Chen Yifei blurted out.
"How could that be?" The man was incredulous, and others were equally astonished.
"It’s not just the Ma Family. As far as I know, the patriarchs of the five major families in the Northwest all follow Ye Fan’s lead. I have witnessed it myself. Additionally, Chu Mengyao’s fiancé, that’s Ye Fan. I’ve had a few encounters with him. He is a very mysterious man endowed with terrifying power, and this is likely just one of his many identities. From what I can perceive, Ye Fan has other identities that are far beyond people’s reach," Chen Yifei explained.
"The first strongwoman of Huaxia, Chu Mengyao’s fiancé?"
"The Northwest’s five major families take the lead?"
"This? This this??"
"Is this just one of this great person’s identities?"
"Oh my God, this is terrifying."
"Thanks for the warning, otherwise we’d have foolishly offended someone we can’t afford to offend and wouldn’t even know how we ended up dying," Chen Yifei’s remark left the other celebrities utterly shocked. Only then did they realize that they almost brought disaster upon themselves trying not to miss out on the excitement.
"What a close call." They were immensely grateful, no longer daring to speak ill of Ye Fan.
Praying that the harsh words they had for Ye Fan weren’t known to outsiders, and thanks to Chen Yifei’s words, they stopped siding with Guan Shaoqiu to denounce Ye Fan, otherwise, a catastrophe would have ensued.
"Why would a respected figure like Mr. Ye go to a film set? Is he perhaps in disguise, or experiencing life?" The man was thoroughly confused, referring to Ye Fan respectfully.
"He must have gone with Chu Biyao," Chen Yifei asserted.
"I see," the others suddenly understood.
"Reach out to your friends and tell them to behave, not to mess around with Guan Shaoqiu. They can’t afford the consequences. Just warn them, but don’t say much about Ye Fan’s identity," Chen Yifei said, glancing around. "I’ll tell Guan Shaoqiu myself, to prevent him from having no way back. Hopefully, he realizes his mistake soon."
The others quickly called the friends they were closest to, warning them to stay away from this vortex.
Chen Yifei dialed Guan Shaoqiu’s number, and he answered politely, "Sister Yifei, what prompted you to call me?"
"Qiu, what are you doing? How did you provoke such a terrifying figure? Now, you’re in trouble." Chen Yifei advised seriously, "As far as I know, Ye Fan is the hidden boss behind your company’s big boss, Li Chenggui. Just from this identity alone, think about what a mess you’ve gotten into."
"What? How could this be?" Guan Shaoqiu’s good mood plummeted to rock bottom, his mind in chaos, pondering all possibilities as he despondently asked, "Sister Yifei, you’re not joking, right?"
Guan Shaoqiu knew that Chen Yifei’s warning couldn’t be false.
What he couldn’t cope with, yet found absurd, was how someone he perceived as insignificant could be so mighty.
He felt not only like crying but was also overwhelmed with the feeling as if his world had crumbled.
"Moreover, Ye Fan is Chu Biyao’s brother-in-law, Chu Mengyao’s fiancé. Consider how big of a hornet’s nest you’ve stirred. I’ve seen Mr. Ye several times, so I’m more informed." Chen Yifei lamented helplessly.
"This? This this??"
"What a disaster I’ve brought upon myself."
"Sister Yifei, Sister Yifei, what should I do now?"
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Guan Shaoqiu felt genuine fear.
"Delete the post first, as for what to do specifically, I don’t know either." With that, Chen Yifei hung up.
"Hello, hello, Sister Yifei..." Guan Shaoqiu urgently called out, pleading, but Chen Yifei’s voice was already silent.
Trembling all over, Guan Shaoqiu recalled Chen Yifei’s words and stammered, "Yes, yes, delete the post first."
"Mr. Guan? What’s wrong?" Sister Zhao looked sullen, sensing disaster from Guan Shaoqiu’s reaction as if a world-ending calamity was looming, something grave had occurred.
"Useless, you’re useless, you’ll get me killed!" Guan Shaoqiu chastised Sister Zhao tearfully.
Han Fengxia discreetly avoided Guan Shaoqiu and Sister Zhao, shrinking away, worried that she might get caught up in the impending doom.
