AMRWFA -Chapter 136 The Domineering CEO Who Carries Half the Criminal Code

Only later did Lin Zhihe finally understand what the so-called “half the criminal code” actually meant: “…”

Are people these days really going this far when they fall in love?!

At the drop of a hat, it’s digging out someone’s liver and lungs, locking them up and keeping them captive?

Seeing that she didn’t understand, Ruan Yaoyao stuffed a bunch of “forced love” novels into her hands and told her to study up properly. After that, she finally got it.

Their real lives were even more outrageous than fiction.

Lin Zhihe: That’s seriously outrageous!

People can literally turn into birds—nothing could be more absurd than that.

Yu Xiangqiao was filled with regret when she realized that just because she had been a little lazy and didn’t follow along, she had missed such a huge piece of gossip.

Ahhh… such a big scoop—what a waste!

She looked at Lin Zhihe with frustration, as if scolding her for not living up to expectations: Why can’t you hear it? If you could hear their thoughts, you could at least come back and relay everything to us!

Lin Zhihe: As if that’s something I can just choose to have?

I wish I could too!

At that moment, Lin Zhihe had no idea that some “flags” shouldn’t be raised. In the future, when she really could hear them, she would regret it.

Forget it!

Better not to hear anything at all.

…

The world really was small. Ruan Yaoyao had just run into Lu Yuanqing, and right after that, she bumped into his girlfriend from the entertainment industry—Jian Lichang.

She was truly beautiful. Even just standing there doing nothing—white T-shirt, blue jeans, white canvas shoes, and that long, glossy black hair like seaweed—she looked stunning from every angle.

It was the simplest outfit, yet it carried a kind of vivid charm. Her eyes were so pure that anyone could tell at a glance she was the kind of well-protected, obedient girl raised with care by her family.

Jiang Ying noticed Ruan Yaoyao’s expression and quickly leaned in, whispering, “What’s wrong, Aunt Xu? Do you also think this girl has something ambiguous going on with Yu Yang?”

“Huh? What are you talking about?” Ruan Yaoyao turned to her, completely confused.

“Shh… keep your voice down!” Jiang Ying explained quietly. She had an informant on the film set, and that person had told her that someone in the crew was clinging to Yu Yang.

Ever since she had that talk with Yu Yang, she had been hesitating—should she really make their relationship public?

If it were before, she would have been desperate to announce to the world that she was Yu Yang’s girlfriend.

But now, she didn’t feel that way anymore.

If Yu Yang made it public, she would lose her current freedom. Everywhere she went, people would watch her, pick her apart, saying she wasn’t good enough for him in this way or that…

She didn’t think she was ready for that.

“You’re overthinking it. Why do you care what other people say? As long as you think you’re worthy, that’s enough. Yu Yang is dating you, not them.”

When she had accidentally voiced this concern, Ruan Yaoyao had responded like this, clearly frustrated with her.

Jiang Ying asked blankly, “But I am not good enough for him…”

“How are you not good enough? Are you missing an arm or a leg? You’re beautiful, you’re a university student, you’ve taught yourself so many skills—you can make milk tea, arrange flowers, drive…”

Ruan Yaoyao almost let something slip, nearly saying that as a woman who could handle so many people, how could her abilities be lacking?

As long as she was willing to learn, there was nothing she couldn’t master.

The real issue was that after getting together with Yu Yang, she had stopped making new friends, stopped working, and lost her own life. Of course she felt useless.

If she didn’t believe it, she could just go out and try.

“But… what can I even do?”

“Isn’t Yu Yang going to make a guest appearance in that xianxia drama recently? Let’s go visit the set.”

Jiang Ying looked even more confused.

Weren’t they talking about her career? How did this turn into visiting a film set?

“Come on, let’s just go take a look. Once we’re there, you’ll figure it out.”

And so, that’s how they ended up here—showing up at the set as a group of fans.

Coincidentally, before coming, Jiang Ying had received news from her informant that a beautiful woman was pestering Yu Yang. Meanwhile, after arriving, Ruan Yaoyao saw Jian Lichang, Lu Yuanqing’s girlfriend.

The drama was called a xianxia 【fantasy】 series, but it was actually a comedic one. The story was set in modern times: two reckless college students accidentally enter an ancient tomb and awaken a tomb-guarding immortal child 【who looks like a middle-aged man】.

When the immortal discovers that the tomb’s master is missing, he panics and enters the modern world to find them. After a series of humorous cultural clashes between ancient and modern times, they finally discover that the master has reincarnated as a mortal—and become a big celebrity.

That celebrity was played by Yu Yang—essentially playing himself.

Jian Lichang, on the other hand, appeared as the “white moonlight” goddess of a higher immortal. They had a scene together, and later, she dies saving the world, her soul completely destroyed.

The drama was titled “Xianxia in the Modern World.”

Clearly, although the informant hadn’t told Jiang Ying who the “beautiful woman” was, the moment she saw the stunning Jian Lichang, she felt threatened and assumed she must be the one.

“So just because she’s the prettiest one here, you think it’s her?” Ruan Yaoyao said with a strange expression. “The informant only said ‘a beautiful woman,’ not how beautiful. Maybe she’s only a little pretty? Also, how do you know your informant isn’t lying to you?”

“That’s impossible!” Jiang Ying said. “Her grandmother is sick—I gave her money. She wouldn’t lie to me.”

“Could it be that woman?”

“How do you know?”

In Ruan Yaoyao’s vision, glowing text suddenly floated by. When she turned her head, she saw the female lighting technician—Ji Mengqin.

Her name was ordinary, and her looks weren’t particularly stunning. But above her head floated a label: ‘The childhood sweetheart of the Dragon-Prodigy Male Lead who was brutally killed.’

She was the female lead—but in this drama of Yu Yang and Jiang Ying, she played the “vicious supporting character.” Out of jealousy toward a minor actress, she deliberately spoke ill of her in front of Jiang Ying, leading to that actress being blacklisted.

【So even a nameless supporting character like this can be the female lead in another story?!】

【No wonder she gets cannon-foddered by Jiang Ying. The female lead of “White Moonlight at the Heart’s Tip, Skillfully Seizing Love” is a tragic heroine—digging out organs and all that…】

【And this Ji Mengqin too—no wonder she ends up dying so miserably. Jian Lichang never provoked her, but just because she’s pretty, Ji Mengqin went to Jiang Ying to badmouth her. Clearly she liked Yu Yang but didn’t dare confess, yet she pinned it all on Jian Lichang.】

【The worst part is, she even deliberately took some misleading photos. Those photos later led to Jian Lichang being abused by Lu Yuanqing.】

【Wait—what did I just see?】

【Domestic violence?!】

【Lu Yuanqing actually abuses women?!】

Before, Ruan Yaoyao had only thought Lu Yuanqing was a scumbag, but she never expected him to be abusive as well.

Any man who lays hands on a woman—she despised them completely.

Ruan Yaoyao turned to Jiang Ying and said seriously, “Based on my experience, I have some unfortunate news—you’ve probably got the wrong person.”

Yu Xiangqiao quickly leaned in and nodded. “You should trust my mom—she’s incredibly accurate at judging people! Anyone she’s looked at has never been misjudged!”
