Siyu grabbed Ji Lin out of reflex. Even now, whenever she thought of Fifth Master Lu's terrifying murderous aura, her legs would still go weak. She thought that if she had someone as lucky as Ji Lin by her side, she might be able to neutralize the murderous aura. So, in a moment of desperation, she dragged Ji Lin along.
However, Siyu only realized that something was wrong halfway through. This matter had nothing to do with Ji Lin. It didn't seem right for her to drag him along, right?
Moreover, the other party was an unfathomable lunatic. If there was any conflict …
At this moment, the two of them turned out of the alley and ran onto the main road. Siyu let go of Ji Lin and pushed him. "You go back to the hotel first. I still have something to do. I'll go back by myself later."
Ji Lin was confused from beginning to end. He didn't know what had happened. When he saw the unconcealable anxiety on Siyu's face, he became suspicious and asked, "Sister Siyu, who called you just now?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ji Lin immediately felt that this question was too intimate. He was afraid that his sister would think that he was meddling in other people's business, so he tried to cover it up and added, "It's so late. It's not safe for a girl like you to be outside alone …"
For some reason, Xu Qingwan's words suddenly flashed through Ji Lin's mind. He remembered that Xu Qingwan said that a wild man was seducing his sister, right?
Young Master Ji completely forgot that Xu Qingwan's original words were "Siyu is seducing other men." Instead, he confidently changed the order. After all, in Ji Lin's heart, his sister was so good. Who wouldn't like her? Of course, it was someone else who was trying to seduce her!
As soon as this guess came out, Ji Lin refused to leave first no matter what. He wanted to see which wild man was so bold that he dared to kidnap Siyu in the middle of the night!
Under Young Master Ji Lin's persistent pestering, Siyu couldn't handle it at all. In addition, Fifth Master Lu only gave her a five-minute time limit when he called, so she could only give up on persuading Ji Lin and take a taxi back to the hotel.
After running into the lobby, Siyu's legs were really weak. Her body was not suitable for strenuous exercise, and her hands and feet were frighteningly cold after running all the way back. As soon as she entered, she could not help but cough up blood. Her footsteps were weak, and she looked like she was about to fall.
"Sis!" Ji Lin was half a step faster than her. When he turned around, he saw Siyu slamming into the glass door. His heart almost stopped. He quickly came back to his senses and rushed over. He wanted to support his sister, but before his hand could touch Siyu's clothes, another arm reached out from the side and caught Siyu's falling body.
Ji Lin was stunned. He followed the delicate pattern on the person's sleeve and saw Fifth Master Lu frowning slightly. He lowered his head and looked at the Siyu Dao. "Are you still running?"
"Cough, cough, cough …" Siyu was caught off guard by his murderous aura. As soon as she tried to explain, she coughed. This time, Siyu did not dare to vomit blood on Fifth Master Lu, so she desperately pushed his chest, trying to put some distance between them.
"What are you doing!" Ji Lin was only stunned for a few seconds. When he came back to his senses, he realized that they were surrounded by a group of bodyguards in black. The entire hotel lobby was quiet. There were neither staff nor other guests. It was as if the place had been cleared in advance.
Ji Lin instantly reacted. The man holding his sister was definitely not simple! The Ji family was also a famous family in Jiangcheng. Ji Lin had been influenced by them since he was young. Although he did not like this kind of lifestyle, he had sharp judgment. This group of people … Perhaps even the Ji family did not dare to provoke them.
Although he knew, Ji Lin absolutely could not watch his sister being carried away by a strange man. Ji Lin calmed himself down and took a step forward to grab Siyu's shoulder, trying to pull her back. "Sister Siyu's health is not good. You scared her!"
The moment Ji Lin touched Siyu, she immediately felt that the suffocating situation of being surrounded by the murderous aura improved a little. Ji Lin's thick good fortune tenaciously erected a barrier. Although it was a little weak … at least it allowed Siyu's breathing to stabilize and she could speak normally.
Good brother, I didn't dote on you for nothing! Ji Lin's support almost made Siyu cry.
"Fifth Master, I'm not trying to sneak away!" While she could speak, Siyu hurriedly explained in one breath, "I accepted a job and came here to film. It's only out of work. Besides, I guessed that you're so busy, so you probably don't have time to care about … such a small matter …"
Under Fifth Master's cold gaze, Siyu's voice became softer and softer. In the end, she simply shut her mouth, afraid that she would make more mistakes if she said more.
She also felt wronged. She thought that this lunatic was acting on a whim. Who would have thought that he actually took it seriously?
Fifth Master Lu pondered over her words and found it interesting. This little girl meant that he seemed to be meddlesome by going through so much trouble for "such a small matter", right?
She really had guts.
"Fifth Master?" Ji Lin heard this form of address and repeated it doubtfully. He felt that this name was a little familiar, as if his father, Ji Wenhan, had mentioned it before. However, he couldn't remember exactly how he had said it. He only remembered that Ji Wenhan's tone had been very wary when he had mentioned it.
Someone who could make an old fox like his father keep a secret … Ji Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he became even more determined to protect his soft and fragile sister.
"Even if there's something, let Sister Siyu sit down first. She ran all the way back just now!" Ji Lin ignored Siyu's desperate glances and stood in front of Fifth Master Lu without backing down.
Fifth Master Lu had a slender figure and looked to be at least 1.9 meters tall. Although Ji Lin was also tall, he was still shorter than him by half a head. Whether it was in terms of height or aura, he was firmly suppressed by the tall and slender man. In fact, he didn't have the upper hand.
However, when Siyu saw the determination on Ji Lin's young and inexperienced face and saw that he was already faintly showing the appearance of a man, she sighed slightly. Silly child, the person in front of you is really a great demon king who can cover the sky with one hand. If he goes crazy, who knows what he will do to you …
Thus, she gave up on the idea of pushing Fifth Master Lu away. After thinking for a few seconds, she took the initiative to press down on the man's wrist. When their skin touched, Siyu felt a chill from her body through her fingertips, causing Fifth Master Lu to narrow his eyes in pleasure.
However, Siyu didn't see his expression. She said softly in a self-deprecating manner, "I was wrong. I admit it. I will reflect on it. Fifth Master, you can punish me however you want."
As she spoke, a trace of hesitation flashed across her face. "It can be a little longer …" Last time, Fifth Master Lu had only let her sit for 15 minutes before letting her go. Siyu felt that this time, it might not be so easy to be kind.
As an ordinary citizen, Siyu had always been flexible. Who asked her to create such a huge monster like the Lu family? Now, she could only swallow her broken teeth and blood.
Perhaps it was because Ji Lin said "She ran all the way back", or perhaps it was because Siyu's attitude of begging for mercy was too tactful, but when Fifth Master Lu heard the soft voice in his ear, the hostility in his heart suddenly dissipated a little. This season had always been the most difficult for people with his physique. In the past, he had relied on collecting a bunch of yin objects to barely get through. Now that he had found someone like Siyu, Fifth Master Lu naturally didn't need to make himself so tired. However, when he sent someone to find Siyu, he learned that the little girl had carried him out of the city without a word.
Siyu had promised at the beginning that she would obediently stay in Jiangcheng, but in the blink of an eye, she had forgotten about it. This was the first time Fifth Master Lu had seen someone who dared to overtly comply with him, so by the time he reacted, he had already personally chased her here.
… It seemed that he hadn't been so impulsive in a long time. Fifth Master Lu was puzzled by his abnormality, but at the same time, he received a report from his subordinates that Siyu was not found in the hotel. This feeling of the situation being subtly out of control caused him to instinctively feel a trace of irritation.
He hated it when things were out of his control, whether it was people or things. Originally, he had thought about how to teach this audacious little girl a lesson, but who would have thought that Siyu was too tactful. Before he even got angry, she had already given in.
Forget it … I'll spare her this time.
Fifth Master Lu calmly grabbed Siyu's small hand and led her to the rest area. Ji Lin hurriedly followed, but saw Fifth Master Lu suddenly stop and glance back at him.
"Were you with him just now?" Fifth Master Lu asked Siyu.
Siyu intuitively felt that if she told the truth, there would be bad consequences, so she said without batting an eye, "No, we met on the street!"
"Okay." Fifth Master Lu nodded. He didn't say whether he believed it or not, and said casually, "In that case, there's nothing for him to do here. You guys send him back."
"Hey, wait!" The bodyguards in black standing quietly on the side received the order and immediately surrounded Ji Lin. They pressed down on his shoulder in a seemingly polite manner and led him to the elevator. After all, Ji Lin was a big boy who had just come of age. He had never been treated like this, so he couldn't help but sound a little flustered.
"Ji Lin, you go up first. You have to start filming early tomorrow morning. Go back and recharge your energy." Siyu comforted Ji Lin with her eyes and shook her head to indicate that she was fine. "Good boy. I'm already an adult. How can I be eaten?"
She deliberately emphasized the word "sister." When Ji Lin heard this, he quieted down. Although he was still very worried, at least he didn't disobey Siyu's intentions and was led into the elevator.
After sending this silly child away, Siyu breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she turned her head, she met Fifth Master Lu's smiling eyes. "Aren't you afraid of being eaten?"
Siyu: "Just, just kidding …"
Fifth Master Lu looked down at her and pulled her to the sofa to sit next to him. Then, he took out a silk handkerchief from somewhere and gently wiped the blood overflowing from Siyu's mouth. Then, he said, "Open your mouth."
Siyu didn't know what was going on. She stared at him cautiously and didn't dare to move. Her expression was like a frightened rabbit. Fifth Master Lu didn't care what she did. After throwing the blood-stained handkerchief to the people below, he motioned for his subordinate to bring over a small porcelain bottle. He poured out a pill the size of a fingernail and squeezed it hard to split it in half. He said indifferently, "I won't go so far as to feed you poison."
Siyu thought about it and agreed, so she took the pill and swallowed it. The pill melted in her mouth. It didn't have the expected bitter taste. Instead, it was a little sweet, like a special candy.
"What is this?" Without Ji Lin as a "barrier", Siyu began to feel uncomfortable again. However, she didn't dare to move now. She fidgeted with her skirt.
"Your medicine." Fifth Master Lu didn't intend to tell her at all.
Siyu: "…" Isn't this nonsense!
"I'm only here on a temporary trip. I have to return to Jiangcheng tomorrow. This time, I'll forget about it. If there's a next time …" Fifth Master Lu paused meaningfully.
Siyu hurriedly patted her chest and promised, "There won't be a next time, there won't be a next time!"
Fifth Master Lu liked how tactful she was. He even began to think that even if Siyu didn't have a special body that could alleviate the heat in his body, with her peaceful personality, it would be a good idea to keep her by his side.
"I'll leave some people for you. If you need anything, you can find them directly. Or you can find that kid from Xing Zhou." Fifth Master Lu paused. The hand twirling the prayer beads slowly stroked Siyu's long hair. It was very uncomfortable for him to do this. Siyu felt like he was petting a cat.
Siyu agreed readily.
"This time, you'll be punished by sitting for half an hour." Fifth Master Lu changed his tone and brought up old matters without warning. Siyu thought the storm had passed and was thinking about how to persuade him to let her go back to her room earlier. When she heard this, her smile froze.
As if on purpose, Fifth Master Lu asked slowly, "No objections, right?"
Siyu swallowed her anger. "… No." She didn't dare to!
Fifth Master Lu looked at her cheeks unconsciously puffed up like a blowfish that didn't dare to make a sound even though it was clearly exploding in anger. He was in a good mood and curled the corners of his mouth.
Siyu thought that this half an hour would be very difficult to endure. However, she didn't know what the pill Fifth Master Lu gave her was made of, but after a few minutes, she began to feel sleepy. This tiredness came crashing down. Siyu didn't struggle at all. She tilted her head and fell asleep on Fifth Master Lu's shoulder.
Her sleep just happened to suit Fifth Master Lu's intentions. He reached out and pulled the little girl into his arms. A comfortable coolness slowly came over him. Even though Fifth Master Lu's self-control was terrifying, he couldn't help but sigh.
The pill just now was specially used to nurse the body. It was truly difficult to find one. However, for the Lu family, it was just a matter of spending a little more effort. It was just that this pill would make people sleepy.
"You're lucky." In her sleep, Siyu vaguely felt someone tap her forehead. Because of her illness, her sleep was actually very light, so it was easy for her to wake up. However, this time, she slept soundly like never before. She could feel that someone had picked her up, but she was too lazy to even open her eyes. She arched her body, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep again.
Before she lost consciousness, she only remembered the light sandalwood fragrance lingering around her body and the low voice that whispered into her ear, "Stupid rabbit."
…
While Siyu was sleeping soundly, the Ji family in Jiangcheng wasn't very peaceful.
Mrs. Ji, Duan Rulan, sat alone in her bedroom, looking at the photos that had been sent directly to her phone. The more she looked, the gloomier her face became. In the end, she slammed her phone down, and her chest heaved violently a few times.
Ji Lin, he … Why is he still hanging out with that money-losing Zhou Siyu?
Duan Rulan immediately called Siyu's former modeling agency to ask why Siyu hadn't been taken away yet. The response made Duan Rulan even more anxious.
"She signed Huanyi? How did she do it … "Duan Rulan couldn't believe it. She felt that with Siyu's weight, how could Huanyi have taken a liking to her? That wasn't a place to collect trash!
The person who had sent the text said that Siyu was going to be in the same film as Ji Lin, and that it was because of Ji Lin's strong arguments that Siyu was able to get the role … The more Duan Rulan thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She knew her own son well. Ji Lin was a person who was warm on the outside but cold on the inside. If he didn't care about someone, he would never have done something like helping them get the role!
Could it be that Ji Lin knew about it?
Duan Rulan took a deep breath. First, she sent someone to find out who had sent the text, then she called the Ji family's company.
Since the Young Master of the Ji family had entered the entertainment industry, the Ji Group had to protect him. Many of the films that Ji Lin had participated in had been invested by the Ji family. Duan Rulan asked the management there and found out that the Ji family had invested in 'Lethal Beauty'. The amount was not small, and they were one of the biggest sponsors.
"Okay, then go and tell the crew to remove Zhou Siyu from the role." Duan Rulan's voice was cold. "I don't care who they replace, but Zhou Siyu cannot appear in front of the Young Master. Otherwise, they will withdraw their investment! Do you understand? "
