After Kissing the World-Weary Female Supporting Character [Transmigration] - Chapter 71

Ji Private Hospital, VIP Ward.

Lin Shu sat on a chair and sighed with emotion: “Xingzi, Uncle Lin came to see you. This is your auntie. You’ve been talking about seeing her for a long time, so Uncle brought her to you. When will you wake up?”

Nearly half a month had passed since Song Xingzi fell into a coma. As Song Xingzi’s agent, Lin Shu still couldn’t accept the reality and couldn’t help but cry with sorrow every time he came to see her.

“Lin Lin, don’t be so sad. Talk to Xingzi often and take good care of her. She’ll definitely wake up,” Fu Na patted Lin Shu’s shoulder to comfort him. She glanced at Song Xingzi’s appearance and said in surprise, “Lin Lin, Xingzi looks a lot like the new talent I’m mentoring—Liu Bái, the one who was on the domestic hot search a few days ago for winning the Rising Star Award. At first glance, the two of them look like sisters.”

“Liu Bái?” Ji Ruyue pushed the door open, a little squirrel perched on her shoulder, also making a confused expression.

The person and the squirrel looked as if they were playing an emotion-synchronization game.

Fu Na nodded to Ji Ruyue. She was also from the domestic entertainment industry, and her relationship with Starlight was still very close. She greatly admired the young prodigy, CEO Ji.

Fu Na said, “She returned to the country a few days ago. I came back with Xiao Bái, but she seems to be very close to the Li Group. When you guys got off the plane, a tall, slender man picked her up to go see Li Yeběi! I happened to be going to Starlight to find Lin Lin, so I parted ways with her.”

Ji Ruyue nodded: “Oh, is that so.”

Fu Na then recalled what Lin Shu had told her earlier. Patting Lin Shu’s shoulder, she said, “I also recommended the new film by Zhào Yú that you mentioned to her. She came back to film.”

Before Lin Shu could speak, Ji Ruyue cut in and asked Fu Na, “Liu Bái is back in the country and accepted Zhào Yú’s film? Is Zhào Yú’s new movie called $Golden Mountain Butterfly Dream?”*

Fu Na was surprised: “Eh, how did CEO Ji know? It really does seem to be called that!”

Just as expected. Song Xingzi relied on this film to get an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, but this event should have happened around the time of the abortion!

Ji Ruyue frowned slightly, thinking to herself: The original script is completely off the rails now and shouldn’t hold much reference value. The Li Group can’t hold on for much longer. It’s time to strike a heavy blow.

Lin Shu explained, “The person Zhào Yú was originally interested in was Xingzi, but Xingzi said she planned to leave the entertainment industry and open a store after finishing the reality show.”

At this point, Lin Shu choked up. He paused for a moment before continuing painfully: “Who knew something like this would happen? Xingzi’s much-anticipated store never opened, and I was still looking forward to eating the best-fried nuts in the world that she always talked about!”

Song Xingzi scratched Ji Ruyue’s clothes, comforting her poor manager in her heart.

Uncle Lin, don’t be sad. Xingzi is fine, standing right in front of you. The fried nut shop will definitely open. When the male lead goes bankrupt, and I accumulate enough spiritual power to transform into human form, I’ll treat you first. Aiya, I’ll treat you second. The first treat must be for Ji Ji.

Thinking this, Song Xingzi jumped down from Ji Ruyue’s shoulder and walked over to Lin Shu, gently patting his hand in a comforting gesture.

“How is this little squirrel so spiritual?” Lin Shu reached out and shook the little squirrel’s paw. He said to Ji Ruyue, “CEO Ji, are you staying to see Xingzi today?”

Ji Ruyue: “I have to go to the company soon, but I can stay a little while longer.”

Lin Shu, indulging in his ‘fatherly’ role, warned, “Honestly, you don’t need to come every other day. You should prioritize getting revenge for Xingzi right now. Such a regular schedule could be problematic if Li Yeběi targets you again.”

Ji Ruyue narrowed her eyes, becoming alert: “It’s fine. I have a warning system. He should be completely overwhelmed with his shareholders right now, so he probably doesn’t have time to deal with me.”

She and Song Xingzi didn’t come as frequently as every other day, but to maintain the stability of the wooden dummy, a spiritual power transfer every three to five days was necessary. Therefore, Song Xingzi would time it for her to come.

This time was the same: the main goal was to maintain the wooden dummy’s form, and the secondary goal was to create a smokescreen to attract attention.

The group chatted for a while, and then Lin Shu and Fu Na left first. Ji Ruyue and Song Xingzi talked with Song Xuĕlín for a bit and then drove back to the company.

“Ji Ji, Ji Ji,” the little squirrel nestled in Ji Ruyue’s arms, whispering, “Is Liu Bái going to become the female lead? Why did she come back to act?”

“Don’t worry, it’s almost over,” Ji Ruyue gently patted Song Xingzi’s head, her gaze fixed forward as she turned the steering wheel. “You don’t need to worry about Liu Bái. Instead, when can you transform back into human form?”

“Mmm-hmm?” Song Xingzi inhaled, drawing out her voice in a soft, alluring tone. “Why is Ji Ji so impatient? Could it be that you want to kiss, hug, and sleep with me?”

Ji Ruyue raised an eyebrow, her natural, husky voice incredibly tempting: “What do you think? Hmm? I haven’t ‘eaten meat’ in half a month, and I’ve gotten thin.”

Song Xingzi cautiously calculated her current spiritual power. No, I still need to save up for a while. There is no spiritual power in this world, so I can only rely on my own accumulated spiritual power to recover. The inner core is also greyish and whitish; I still can’t use it freely.

The little squirrel flipped over in Ji Ruyue’s arms, changing the subject: “Aiya, I’ve gotten thin too. I can’t even eat the food I make myself.”

“To be honest, I really miss your pine nut candy,” Ji Ruyue turned the steering wheel, turning into a new lane. “I ate all the previous stash. If you don’t return to human form soon, both my mind and body will suffer from malnutrition.”

“Alright, alright, I’ve saved up some now, don’t worry,” Song Xingzi whined, jumping onto Ji Ruyue’s shoulder. She looked out the car window. Her excellent eyesight immediately captured the large, bright red truck barreling towards them. “Ji Ji, Ji Ji! A truck is going to crash into us! Turn quickly!”

Ji Ruyue turned as instructed, but the large truck seemed prepared, following Ji Ruyue’s car directly, clinging to it tightly.

Song Xingzi screamed: “Ji Ji, we’re going to crash!!! Dodge it!!”

Just as spiritual power enveloped the two of them, the truck slammed into them viciously. The black car spun like it was drifting, skidding for tens of meters before violently hitting a high wall and flipping over.

The smell of smoke and the sight of flames appeared simultaneously. The sound of breaking glass and screeching tires burst into their ears. Passersby who witnessed it screamed and cursed:

“Oh my god, driving a car to murder in the middle of the street!”

“Call the police, call the police quickly! See if the people inside are okay!!!”

“Oh dear! Where did that car come from? Why is it so terrifying?”

“My heavens, that’s too scary!”

…

“Song Xingzi, how are you? Are you alright?” Ji Ruyue held the little squirrel, whose fur was dull, in her arms. She kicked the door open and sprinted out.

After running a good distance away, the car, already spitting sparks, violently exploded, sending metal shards flying far outward.

“Song Xingzi, Song Xingzi, how are you? Are you okay? Why aren’t you talking?”

Ji Ruyue stumbled to the ground, asking the little squirrel with dull fur in her arms three questions in one breath.

“I’m fine, I’m fine, just a little excessive use of spiritual power,” Song Xingzi lazily flipped over. “Don’t talk to me. Someone is coming.”

“Mm?” Song Xingzi opened her eyes drowsily, sat up, and rubbed her head, saying innocently, “I’m fine. I just fell asleep. Ji Ji, why do you have a crying voice? You coward! I have a strong destiny!”

“Yes, I am a coward, a Song Xingzi supremacist,” Ji Ruyue picked up the little squirrel and gave her little head a hard kiss. “So Song Xingzi absolutely cannot be harmed!”

“Hehehe, I won’t be harmed!” Song Xingzi said dizzily. “I’m the female lead!”

Song Xingzi rubbed her two small paws together, embarrassed: “It’s just that the spiritual power I painstakingly recovered has been used up again. The wooden dummy will have to lie there for a while longer.”

Ji Ruyue didn’t care at all: “It doesn’t matter. As long as you are okay.”

“What about the Li Group?” Song Xingzi looked at Ji Ruyue with a worried face. “I think Li Yeběi must have done this. What if he tries to attack us again?”

Ji Ruyue sneered: “Don’t worry, he won’t have the chance. A person who is about to be invited in for ‘tea’ won’t have the ability or the time to plan another murder.”

Song Xingzi wondered: “Invited for tea? So soon?”

“When the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection gets involved, things only move fast, not slow,” Ji Ruyue rubbed Song Xingzi’s head. “Don’t worry, I will get revenge for you.”

I don’t care if he is the will of Heaven’s dog or acting on his own. As long as he threatens your safety, I will kill him without mercy. What damn will of Heaven! What damn male lead! Whoever harms what I love, I will return it a thousandfold!

Song Xingzi: “???” Revenge for me? Isn’t this Ji Ji’s personal history of revenge? How did it become a love epic?

The confused little squirrel obediently accepted the arrangement and enjoyed the full-service care of the transnational CEO.

At eight o’clock that evening, less than five hours after Secretary Wang submitted the evidence and connected with the superior organization, a group of plainclothes police officers knocked on the door of Li Yeběi’s private residence.

The butler blocked the door, raising his voice to stop them: “Who are you? How dare you trespass!”

“Central case investigation. Are you trying to obstruct?”

The man leading the group took out his badge and held it up to the butler’s head for him to check.

The butler trembled: “This is the Li Group’s private residence! Who are you looking for?”

“Li Group’s current Executive President and Chairman—Li Yeběi!” The man finished in one breath, letting out a sigh:

I really dislike enforcing the law in places like this! The titles are all ridiculously long! When I go back, I’m going to ask the boss for a half-day off as compensation!

“Yo-Young Master!” The butler raised his voice. “The Central Committee is here to invite you for ‘tea’!”

“What did you say? Damn it!” Li Yeběi, wearing a silk dressing gown, looked down from the second-floor balcony. He saw a group of tall, well-built men and asked coldly, “Looking for me to have tea? You must have the wrong person?”

The leading man compared the person speaking with the photo on the file, nodding to confirm: “It is you. The Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Procuratorate request your presence. Please tidy up your appearance and come with us.”

Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Procuratorate? Holy crap! That madwoman Ji Ruyue broke the rules! She actually dared to report me to the central authorities! Damn, damn, damn!

Li Yeběi had never used so many vulgar words in his mind before. He changed into casual clothes, a cold sneer playing on his lips, and slowly walked out the door, nodding in greeting to the plainclothes man.

Hmph, you dared to report me, and you think I won’t report you? Ji Ruyue, do you really think your Ji Group is an iron plate? Whose problems aren’t more numerous than the other’s?

Very well, Ji Ruyue, I’ve never experienced being investigated before. Since you broke the rules first and started the war, don’t blame me for being ruthless!

But would things go as he wished?

Ji Ruyue, who had calculated everything, tucked her little wife in and sneered before returning to work.
