Chapter 3091: His Soul Is No Longer Clean

But Yan Zhiqing was really innocent.

She was thinking that Wei Wucai was gay, so of course he could only be friends with her.

But this was Wei Wucai’s private matter.

Since Wei Wucai hid this from everyone, Yan Zhiqing couldn’t tell anyone, including Yan Beicheng, without Wei Wucai’s permission.

She could only say that they were friends. She couldn’t tell Yan Beicheng that it was impossible between her and Wei Wucai.

“If you two were just friends, why did you two go out tonight by yourselves?” Yan Beicheng asked.

Yan Zhiqing could only painstakingly explain, “Because Han Zhuoling is coming here every day and Xiaoya obviously has to accompany him. Han Zhuofeng joins their group. They are a family, so I can’t be disturbing them all the time, right? My a.s.sistant befriended s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s a.s.sistant and they are really good friends now. And so, Wei Wucai and I are the only ones left.”

“Hmph!” Yan Beicheng humphed. He didn’t believe a single word. Wei Wucai could eat with his coworkers. Why did he choose to be around Yan Zhiqing?

“Are you in your hotel room now?”

Because of Yan Zhiqing, Yan Beicheng got to know a lot more about what happens during the shooting of a film.

He knew that a set end time on a shooting day did not exist.

Therefore, he wasn’t certain if Yan Zhiqing was currently taking a break from filming or if she was done filming.

“I am in the hotel,” Yan Zhiqing said.

“When did work end today?” Yan Beicheng asked.

Yan Zhiqing let out a sigh of relief when Yan Beicheng stopped asking about Wei Wucai.

She answered, “We finished at around eight. We were going to eat out, but that mess happened because of Lu Xiuse, and we had no choice but to go back to the hotel and order takeout.”

Once again, Yan Beicheng very precisely identified the main point of the story. “So are you done eating?”

“I am still eating,” Yan Zhiqing answered.

Yan Zhiqing thought to herself, people would normally hang up quickly to not disturb others while they were eating.

But then, Yan Beicheng asked another question. “Are you eating by yourself?”

Yan Zhiqing, feeling guilty, secretly threw a glance at Wei Wucai. If she were to tell Yan Beicheng the truth now, Yan Beicheng would bombard her with so many more questions.

And so, Yan Zhiqing nodded and said in a m.u.f.fled tone, “Ye…”

But Yan Beicheng thought that this m.u.f.fled answer was very suspicious.

“Big Brother, I am going to hang up. Let me eat first. I only got to start eating dinner at this time. I am starving,” Yan Zhiqing said hastily.

Yan Beicheng felt even more strongly that Yan Zhiqing was hiding something.

But as Yan Beicheng felt sorry that she had not yet had dinner this late in the evening, he said, “Okay. Eat first.”

Yan Zhiqing finally felt relieved and responded, “Okay. Send my regards to Lin Chu as well as my nephew and niece.”

She then hung up quickly.

Yan Beicheng hung up the phone and commented as he pointed at it, “There’s something off about Wei Wucai!”

Lin Chu had been listening to Yan Beicheng talking on the phone and had heard most of the conversation.

She then commented, “Actually, Zhiqing is an adult. She knows what decisions to make. Also, Wei Wucai doesn’t seem like a bad guy.”

She continued, “However, all these are just your conjectures. Don’t overthink this. No matter what, befriending Wei Wucai is beneficial to Zhiqing.”

“But you know how simple-minded Zhiqing is!” Yan Beicheng still felt worried.

“Wei Wucai is in charge of the intelligence agency at the Mount Lan Compound. He has seen so many things. His soul is no longer clean.”
