The blade of the small machete shone sharply under the light.

  Lan Yue approached the young man, the sharp blade approaching his chest.

  The young man stepped back in fear.

  “W-Who are you people? Ah Dong, call the police!”


  Another young man was about to make a call when he was stopped by a man in black.

  “You don’t want to go against your professional ethics, right?” Lan Yue’s dark eyes were calm and his deep and cold face was cold. There was a faint smile on his lips. “You have professional ethics just because you ruined a woman’s reputation?”


  Without giving the young man a chance to speak, Lan Yue waved the knife handle in the air. The young man’s face turned pale and his legs went weak.

  A moment later, the young man saw that his t-shirt was torn.

  Although he was not injured, it would be easy for this man in front of him to hurt him if he wanted to! “I’ll give you another chance. If you still don’t want to say it, it won’t be as simple as tearing your clothes.”


  The young man’s lips trembled. “I’ll talk, I’ll talk…”


  The man in black moved a leather chair for Lan Yue. Lan Yue sat on the leather chair, his long legs crossed as he played with a small machete casually.

  The young man wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. “Someone did contact us. We saw the photo and it doesn’t look like it was photoshopped.”


  There was money to be earned and it was not something to spread rumors and slander. How could they not accept it? Lan Yue’s expression was cold. “How did the other party contact you?”


  The young man took out his phone shakily. “There’s a chat record here.”


  Lan Yue glanced at it and handed it to the man in black behind him. “Check the IP address.”


  The other party used a substitute IP address and the man in black was a professional. After ten minutes, they found out that it was in a luxurious district in the capital. Seeing that the other party was so professional, the young man felt even more afraid. “I’ve told you everything I know. We’re also paid to do this. Please let us off!”


  Lan Yue stood up from the leather chair and put his hands in his pockets. He looked down at the frightened young man. “You’re the first verified account to post fake photos. Logically speaking, you should be legally responsible. But seeing that you’re honest, write an apology letter immediately!”


  “Yes, yes, yes. We’ve written the apology letter and will release it immediately.”


  The young man was really speechless. If he had known that offending the Tang family’s young lady would end up like this, he would not have accepted it no matter how much money he had.

  In the black Bentley.

  The driver glanced at the man in the back with a cold expression and asked carefully, “Young Master, are we going to Jin Yuan district now?”


  Jingyuan District was the substitute IP address she had contacted the young man. Lan Yue hummed coldly.

  Chu Li returned home after filming.

  She had just finished showering when she heard the doorbell ring.

  Glancing out through the peephole, her heart thumped when she saw the tall man standing outside.

  Lan Yue!

  Chu Li quickly opened the door and looked in disbelief at the man who had appeared at the door of the apartment in the middle of the night. Her eyes were filled with joy. “Ah Yue, why are you here?”


  He still had feelings for her, right?

  If not, how would he find where she lived?

  At this thought, Chu Li smiled brightly and jumped into his arms.

  But before she could get close, her slender neck was grabbed by a large hand. Chu Li widened her eyes and looked at the cold man. “Ah Yue, w-what are you doing?”


  The man’s grip on her neck slowly tightened.

  Chu Li immediately felt suffocated.

  His face was expressionless and cold like a grim reaper from hell. Just when Chu Li thought she was going to be strangled to death by him, he suddenly let go of her. She took a few steps back unsteadily and fell to the ground. “Lan, Lan Yue, are you crazy?” Chu Li glared at him with a red face. There was no smile on her face, only fear and anger.

  Chu Li wanted to stand up when her wrist was suddenly stepped on by the man’s leather shoes.

  She wanted to pull it out, but she could not.

  Her eyelashes fluttered violently like butterfly wings in a storm.

  The handsome and tall man in front of her was no longer the Lan Yue she knew back then. He had become a devil!

  “Did you get a verified account called Master Gua to release Tang Wu’s news today?”


  Did he come in the middle of the night for Tang Wu? Or for Tang Wu and Qi Chen’s boat photo today?

  “Lan Yue, Tang Wu is a promiscuous slut. Why do you care so much about her? You saw the news, right? Why are you still protecting her? She’s not worthy of you…”


  Before Chu Li could finish, pain came from her wrist again.

  He stepped on her harder and she felt like her bones were about to break. “The substitute IP that contacted Master Gua shows that it’s your apartment.” Lan Yue looked at Chu Li’s distorted face with no sympathy or pity. “I’m sure you know very well what Tang Wu and Qi Chen did.” Chu Li’s wrist hurt so much that her teeth were chattering. “Tang Wu is your ex-girlfriend. I’m your ex-girlfriend. We’re both exes. Why are you treating me so differently?”


  Chu Li shouted unwillingly.

  “I love her, but not you. It’s that simple.”


  The tears in Chu Li’s eyes fell immediately.

  He only loved Tang Wu and not her. The reason was simple but cruel.

  “I’ll count to three. If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll cripple your hand.” Lan Yue was expressionless. “One, two…”


  As he stepped on her harder, Chu Li knew that if she did not tell the truth, he might really cripple her.

  “I don’t know what’s going on. I didn’t instigate Tang Wu’s news today. I only secretly entered that room on the night Tang Wu and Qi Chen slept together three years ago. I wanted to take a photo of Tang Wu, but it’s a pity that Tang Wu was unconscious and was very alert. I couldn’t pull her clothes away, so I secretly took photos of her and Qi Chen lying on the bed.”


  “The next morning, after the reporters arrived, you led them to the emergency exit and made Tang Wu fall down the stairs…”


  “No, I didn’t! I left after taking the photos!” Chu Li said and suddenly remembered that when she returned home that night, she had accidentally let it slip and let Chu Xi know about Tang Wu and Qi Chen having a room. She shivered. Had Chu Xi done something?

  Seeing Chu Li’s hesitant expression, Lan Yue narrowed his dark eyes. “If you want it, continue to confess.”


  “I only showed the photo to my sister, but it’s definitely not her. She likes Qi Chen. Even if she wants to destroy Tang Wu, she can’t destroy Qi Chen.”


  Lan Yue pursed his scarlet lips tightly and his eyes darkened. “Where’s your sister?”


  “She went abroad today.”
