He Yue Ming, though momentarily taken aback by Nangong Qian Yu’s reply, quickly recovered. He extended his right hand, completely disregarding the previous awkwardness, and said warmly, “I’m very sorry for the trouble I’ve caused. I’m a web singer, Yue Zun. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
One had to admit, He Yue Ming had a remarkably thick skin. To act as if nothing had happened in such a situation and introduce himself with such composure.
Was this the legendary saying: If I'm not embarrassed, then you are?
Yet, inside, He Yue Ming was cursing endlessly: "Damn it, you don't even recognize me, the 'Demon Voice Prince' with five million followers! Once I win you over, I'll make sure you regret it."
In He Yue Ming's opinion, it must have been that the other party hadn't recognized him before. And after his self-introduction, he didn’t believe Nangong Qian Yu could maintain her aloofness any longer.
At this moment, Fang Jun Xue, standing in front of Nangong Qian Yu, also noticed the commotion behind her and turned around to ask, “What is it?”
Nangong Qian Yu glanced at He Yue Ming and asked Fang Jun Xue, “Sister Jun Xue, have you ever heard of a web singer named Yue Zun?”
Yue Zun?
Fang Jun Xue shook her head.
Nangong Qian Yu looked at He Yue Ming with a hint of disdain, “So, are you very famous?”
Though her words were soft, the mockery was palpable.
Even with his thick skin, He Yue Ming couldn’t withstand such a blow. His face darkened as he said, “Is it necessary for you to be like this, young lady?”
Nangong Qian Yu smiled, “Someone who is full of themselves always likes to put on a show in front of others. Don't you think he's ridiculous?”
This time, Nangong Qian Yu wasn't just mocking; she was being sarcastic.
It seemed that Miss Qian Yu was truly disgusted by He Yue Ming this time.
“Good! Very good!” He Yue Ming’s face was grim, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes. “Excuse me, I hope we meet again.”
He then turned to Tian Xiao Li and, using his proud dynamic vocal range, said seductively:
“Miss Tian, would it be my honor to invite you to dinner?”
Uh! This…
Good heavens!
He Yue Ming’s maneuver truly stunned Nangong Qian Yu.
She could never have imagined that someone could be so shameless.
He Yue Ming’s action shocked not only Nangong Qian Yu but also caught Tian Xiao Li off guard.
This person in front of me… feels different from the one I see online?
His face is too thick!
Tian Xiao Li couldn’t help but grumble inwardly.
“I… I’m sorry, my friends are waiting for me.”
After speaking, Tian Xiao Li didn't even look at He Yue Ming and turned to run away.
Afraid of being pestered by him!
Perhaps it was due to Tian Xiao Li running too quickly, but the notebook with He Yue Ming’s autograph accidentally fell into a roadside trash can, quite suddenly.
And quite coincidentally!
Having been rejected and witnessing the entire scene, He Yue Ming’s face had turned extremely dark, his eyes filled with rage.
But he managed to control himself and walked out with a grim expression. During this time, he glanced back towards Nangong Qian Yu with a look of utter indifference.
Quite a few people around had noticed the minor incident. However, to them, it was just a bit of excitement, nothing worth paying attention to.
Nangong Qian Yu and Fang Jun Xue bought their drinks and found an empty table to sit down.
“Why is Ye Ming taking so long?” Nangong Qian Yu mumbled through her straw.
Fang Jun Xue, sitting beside her, frowned slightly, clearly worried.
…
“Brother, secretly taking photos isn't a good habit!”
Suddenly, a voice with a hint of coldness came from behind Yang Miao.
This person was the man in black who had been secretly photographing Fang Jun Xue and the others earlier.
Due to the dim lighting in the area, when Yang Miao turned around, he could only see a pair of deep eyes that shone like stars.
Beyond that, there was only a blurred figure.
This person was Ye Ming.
Clearly, Ye Ming had noticed Yang Miao’s peeping earlier.
“Who… who are you?”
A chill ran down Yang Miao’s spine, his legs felt a little weak, and his voice trembled with a look of terror.
After all, from his perspective, the figure that appeared before him could be described by one word:
A phantom!
Because he hadn’t heard any sound at all before.
The other party seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
This was especially unsettling as he himself had undergone professional training.
Therefore, when someone could appear behind him so silently, he had a bad premonition.
“Who I am is not important!”
Ye Ming took a single step forward, and an invisible pressure, emanating from above, slammed onto Yang Miao.
“Ah!”
This sudden pressure caused Yang Miao’s entire body to feel as if it were bearing a thousand pounds. He instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
“Spare… spare my life!” Yang Miao’s face was contorted, but he mustered all his strength to beg for mercy.
“Who are you! Why are you following Nangong Qian Yu and the others?” Ye Ming took another step forward, and the pressure on Yang Miao increased again. “You should know the consequences of lying!”
“Ah!”
This time, Yang Miao could clearly feel his bones shifting slightly, and waves of excruciating pain surged through his body.
“N… no! Spare… my life!” Yang Miao gritted his teeth, a trickle of red appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Ye Ming eased the pressure on Yang Miao. “Speak!”
“Hoo!”
Yang Miao gasped for breath and quickly said, “My name is Yang Miao. I was only responsible for monitoring Fang Jun Xue, and I had no intention of harming her.”
Hmm?
He was after Fang Jun Xue?
Ye Ming was somewhat surprised by this.
He had originally thought the person was after the internet celebrity goddess, Nangong Qian Yu.
After all, Nangong Qian Yu had recently been attacked.
But he hadn't expected it to be Fang Jun Xue.
However, Ye Ming was certain that Yang Miao was not lying.
“Who sent you to do this?”
After learning that Yang Miao was after Fang Jun Xue, Ye Ming’s tone clearly turned colder.
Yang Miao naturally noticed this and dared not conceal anything, “It was Chen Xin, the CEO of Qian Xue Mei Yan, who ordered me to do it.”
Qian Xue Mei Yan!
Nangong Qian Yu had mentioned it to him before.
It was a cosmetics company co-founded by her and Fang Jun Xue.
However, Nangong Qian Yu only held shares and was not involved in the company's internal management. Fang Jun Xue, on the other hand, had full control over Qian Xue Mei Yan.
She was the chairwoman of Qian Xue Mei Yan!
He hadn't expected that the person who sent Yang Miao to monitor Fang Jun Xue would be from within Qian Xue Mei Yan.
And worse, it was the CEO, Chen Xin.
This was clearly a betrayal from within.
Upon receiving this news, Ye Ming’s eyes narrowed, his expression grim. He asked Yang Miao in a cold voice, “Why would she do that?”
Feeling the chill emanating from Ye Ming, Yang Miao was startled. He could sense that this coldness was even more terrifying than the pressure he had felt earlier.
“I… I don’t know!”
Yang Miao, under immense pressure, hurriedly said with a tremor, “Really! I’m not lying to you!”
Through Yang Miao’s expression, Ye Ming could discern the truthfulness of his words.
“Give Chen Xin a message!”
Ye Ming turned around, his figure gradually disappearing from Yang Miao’s sight, leaving only a sentence hanging in the air:
“Tell her to kneel at the entrance to welcome Fang Jun Xue back to the company!”
