Chapter 5 — Overheating of the Brain

　　Su Yanyi's phone rang with an incoming call. Without even checking, she knew it was from her a.s.sistant. The familiar caller name made her narrow her eyes slightly, and the air around her seemed to drop in temperature. Her eyes even flickered with murderous intent.

　　Off to the side, as Qin Jiran watched, his expression also became more solemn, and he couldn't help but begin to speculate who the call was from.

　　Immediately upon answering, Su Yanyi spat out a cold "wait" and walked outside. However, with just this action and her response, Qin Jiran was able to conclude who the caller was.

　　Su Yanyi had two personal a.s.sistants; a male and a female. The male was called Kang Zhong, and he was responsible for handling the company's external connections and communications. The girl was called Sun Minyi, and she was responsible for Su Yanyi's personal affairs.

　　The two could be considered her left and right hands, so naturally, she trusted them very much. Usually, Sun Minyi was the one in charge of picking Su Yanyi up.

　　This was the same Sun Minyi who had ended up betraying Su Yanyi in her past life, and it was not only betrayal but blatant murder. By concocting a car accident, she'd succeeded in sending Su Yanyi into a vegetative state for two years until w.a.n.g Zhilin came along and finally killed Su Yanyi off.

　　Su Yanyi knew about Sun Minyi's betrayal because when she was a stuck being a human vegetable, Sun Minyi and w.a.n.g Zhilin themselves had stood together by her bedside and told her.

　　Every single word had been imbued with malice and jealousy, their dissatisfaction towards her, their hatred for her, and most importantly, the scheme they'd devised to use against her.

　　The image of their vicious faces at the time was still impossibly vivid in Su Yanyi's mind. Thinking about the scene again caused the cold aura around her body to grow more and more intense. Qin Jiran looked on and started to worry.

　　He had a feeling that something big was about to happen. Though there were several rumors that depicted Su Yanyi's cruelty, this was his first time seeing such a bone-chilling and murderous expression on her face.

　　Unfortunately, in the end, it didn't matter how worried he was. He could only stand in one place as his gaze trailed after her departing figure. The look in his eyes became deep and serene.

　　For the sake of chasing after this woman, he'd truly put up a desperate fight, but years had pa.s.sed, and the distance between them showed no signs of closing. He was helpless —so helpless— and he seemed to have become accustomed to this helplessness.

　　Because of the divorce plans, he'd freed up his entire day. Now, he had nothing to do. He went into the study. Recently, he received the Starlight Film Emperor Award, so all of the scripts he could select from went up by a grade. One of them was a fantasy drama called ⟪Demon Meteorite⟫. He liked it enough to consider taking it up.
