Chapter 343: Chapter 343

"Hey! What the hell is wrong with you? We haven’t done anything to you. What right do you have to say he’s headed for disaster?"

Rongrong and An Xiaoqing were both clinging to the slim hope that the assistant hadn’t recognized Chenyang.

They had deliberately brought up sleeping and other random topics to divert her attention. It was all to create the illusion that they were just strangers.

If they were really strangers, it would only be natural for them to be furious at someone randomly telling them disaster was about to strike.

After her outburst, Rongrong cracked her knuckles, looking ready to teach the assistant a lesson.

But just as she was about to step forward, Chenyang stopped her.

"What are you doing?" Rongrong said resentfully. "Isn’t stringing the two of us along enough for you? Now you’re trying to trick this woman into sleeping with you, too?"

Chenyang shot her an exasperated look. "Stop the act. She already knows who I am."

"She... she recognized you?" Rongrong froze and stared at the assistant.

The assistant shrugged. "Ever since Lin Jiji decided to get revenge on Chenyang yesterday, I’ve been helping him gather all sorts of information on him."

"It’s no exaggeration to say that I probably know him better than you two do now. Even though I only saw his back a moment ago, I knew for sure it was Chenyang!"

Hearing this, the anger on Rongrong’s face only intensified. "Framing Chenyang for no reason was already shameless and despicable enough. But now you have the nerve to come right up to us and brag about the dirty tricks you’ve pulled? What, you think being a celebrity’s assistant makes you hot stuff? That you can do whatever you want?"

An Xiaoqing chimed in indignantly, "That’s right! Don’t you think you’ve gone too far? Chenyang is public enemy number one right now, and it’s all because of you people. It would be one thing if you just ran and hid when you saw us, but you actually have the gall to come up here and flaunt it? Do you really think we’re just pushovers who can’t stand up to you so-called celebrities?"

Facing the two women’s fury, the assistant said quickly, "You’ve misunderstood. It’s true that I had a hand in what happened to Chenyang,"

"but I’m not here to mock you or flaunt anything."

"Then what are you here for?"

"To help you!"

"Help us?"

An Xiaoqing and Rongrong exchanged a glance before Rongrong immediately shot back, "Help us, my ass! You’re with Lin Jiji. Just look at you. I bet you’re his secret lover. At a time like this, you’d be jumping at the chance to help Lin Jiji embarrass Chenyang even more. Why would you possibly turn around and help us?!"

The assistant, Liu Mei, arched an eyebrow, a peculiar look flashing in her eyes.

She knew it would be difficult to earn the trust of Chenyang and his friends before she came.

But she hadn’t expected Rongrong to peg her as Lin Jiji’s secret lover at a single glance.

"Cat got your tongue? Feeling guilty because I figured you out?" Rongrong snorted. "I suggest you drop any ideas about hurting Chenyang and get that piece-of-shit Jiji to clear this whole thing up. Otherwise, I, Yan Rongrong, will make sure you two never leave Yang City."

"Yan Rongrong?" Liu Mei frowned. "The owner of Rong’an Security Company is also named Yan Rongrong. Are you the same person?"

"I am. You know who I am?"

"Of course. The treasured daughter of the Chief of Police, the owner of Yang City’s largest security company... a powerful, capable, and beautiful businesswoman like you is hard not to know."

"Since you know who I am and what my background is, you should also know that I have the power to keep you in Yang City."

"True, as the police chief’s daughter, it wouldn’t take much effort for you to keep us in Yang City. But... don’t you find it a little ridiculous, you standing here saying all this to me?"

Hearing this, Rongrong was completely baffled. "How is it ridiculous?"

"You help Chenyang fight Lin Jiji on one hand, while accepting a contract to protect Lin Jiji on the other. You even recommended a media company to help Lin Jiji attack Chenyang. Don’t you think playing both sides like that is ridiculous?!"

"I accepted a contract to protect Lin Jiji? And recommended a media company to attack Chenyang?" Rongrong froze for a second, then retorted, "That’s bullshit. I’ve never done anything like that."

Liu Mei scoffed, pulling her phone from her pocket and finding a picture. "The seal on the contract in this photo—isn’t that from your security company? And in this second screenshot, the person recommending the media company—isn’t that your own HR manager?"
