After finishing a few more scenes, Xuan Mu went back to the changing room and switched places with the original movie’s male lead. Without another word, he disappeared on the spot. Bing Shi was probably the most unprofessional actress in the whole universe because she was always summoning him whenever she had an intimate scene with Zekiel... This was including that time when their offset training with the martial art instructor.

The poor guy who just woke up from the deep slumber got his memories altered in the belief that he was the one who fought Silika without the kiss.

Finishing this movie should earn Bing Shi enough money to repay her debts. Why didn’t she try to avoid the male and female lead? A habit? If she didn’t receive the spot in Li Jie’s MV, save a pregnant woman, help her hubby with his host, and didn’t have to take care of her ill father, she would consider moving abroad and create her fanbase there.

The reason why she even agreed to shoot an intimate scene was due to her husband having divine powers that defied the heavens. It was not like the HQ needed her to train her kissing skills on random people, did they? There was a limit to how far she would go for a mission.

The shooting for The Last Spark was about to end. Bing Shi and Aoi Hong got an invitation to participate in a reality show “Rack to Riches”. As the name suggested, the company compiled a group of pretty young girls, mainly idol trainees from poorer backgrounds. Their mission would be to obtain the mysterious wealthy men’s hearts. Most of the men consisted of handsome idols, actors, and businessmen.

· · — · ???· — · ·

Bing Shi asked Li Jie whether he would participate in ‘Rack to Riches’ or not.

Li Jie was busy taking over ML’s entertainment. Where would he find time to play a prince charming in a reality show? Why couldn’t she just ask her husband?

Silika Lin: As a teacher, he doesn’t fit the criteria to be a suitor for Rack to Riches... and I don’t want Mo Luwei to steal the limelight.

Destroying Mo Luwei’s phone caused an unexpected shift as Mo Luwei’s male lead aura wavered. Xuan Mu almost became a male lead again.

Xuan Mu was not interested in plotting schemes to take down annoyances; he was more inclined to directly approach his opponents and ‘destroy’ them straightforwardly. What he hated the most was watching Bing Shi being bullied, and not being able to do anything. He didn’t care if Bing Shi did or didn’t mind the bullying.

It was hard trying to control himself so he fully snapped and went berserk when he saw Mo Luwei foolishly bullying his wife. Because of his momentary loss of control, Xuan Mu locked himself up in his office and meticulously studied his tattoo nonstop. He only did this because he had no idea what would happen if he saw Mo Luwei’s mocking face again. Binfinity could operate on its own anyways, he had many capable people that he could trust to take care of it.

“...” Li Jie placed his phone away and continued to work. Even without him, she’d be perfectly okay. He got a privilege to get to know Silika Lin’s true self, and it was far from the first impression he got of her when they first met. He felt like her manikin.

Li Jie: I’m busy.

Silika Lin: I saved some pocket money to buy you a few shares. Happy early Birthdayyyy!

“...” Li Jie wanted to cough up blood when he saw what she sent him inside the document. When did she have time to become one of the shareholders?! This woman!

Bing Shi bargained a few Binfinity’s shares for ML Entertainment’s shares. It was not like she and Xuan Mu could bring all this wealth with them... If there existed a man who she wanted to be this world’s male lead, it would be Li Jie. She thought it would be fun if Li Jie could overthrow Mo Luwei in front of the cameras. Ah, just imagine the chaos!

· · — · ???· — · ·

Li Jie: How is she?

Silika Lin: Not good. That child is like a vampire. Her health is worsening day by day.

The reason why Li Jie worked so hard was so he could give Su Min and her son a normal life.

One of Binfinity’s research centers was located on an island; Lu Kai renamed the previous research center as soon as he obtained enough authority to do so. Bing Shi sent Su Min into exactly that island. There was enough medical personnel to take care of her.

Even if Mo Luwei could locate Su Min, which she doubted considering his poor investigation team, there was no chance for him to get her out, never mind finding where Su Min was. If Bing Shi didn’t secretly give out hints about Su Min’s pregnancy to Mo Luwei’s investigators, that man would still be in the dark about everything.

“Let me borrow XiaoPu for a while,” Xuan Mu placed his chin on Bing Shi’s shoulder, looking at her phone. Su Min begged him to release her because she needed to get revenge on Mo Luwei, completely disregarding that she could barely walk and was about to give birth, “I’m this close from sending this mother and child duo to their death. What does Li Jie see in her?”

Su Min had begged Lu Kai to release her from the island. She not only wanted to get revenge on Mo Luwei, but she was also going slightly crazy being kept on this island for as long as she had. While she knew that this was for the better for her and her unborn child, she also couldn’t help but feel like something was missing. She wasn’t right in the head, this Bing Shi knew, but it was shocking to see how Su Min could disregard her own health for the sake of revenge. Unhealthy, even.

“Perhaps he sees her as a friend. Maybe he still has a crush on Su Min, or maybe he feels like he’s obliged to protect Su Min because of guilt. Nobody but Li Jie himself knows.” Bing Shi commented once she saw Su Min be forced back onto the bed. She looked away from Su Min, not seeing her form curl up into herself like a protective shrimp and stroke at her stomach tenderly.

Bing Shi shrugged as she looked at her side worriedly, “Would you get into a lot of trouble if you became a male lead?”

“Mm, I would have to stay back in the HQ,” Xuan Mu gave her a short hug from the back and then he walked with XiaoPu towards his office. Binfinity was something Lu Kai founded during Bing Shi’s absence. Now, since Binfinity could operate on its own, he had to focus on other, more pressing things.

Just the thought of being unable to accompany her on her missions made him feel like he was going to go crazy. He needed to find a way on how to get in touch with her no matter what; he would stand nothing obstructing their communication. Now, all of his spare time was spent studying everything he could on HQ’s vast, almost endless, knowledge.

Bing Shi remained quiet, gazing at his leaving figure. Not everything went according to her plans. Whenever the situation asked for it, she would change her next steps on the spot.

Mo Luwei looked gently at the person who appeared before his villa in the middle of the night, “Come in.” He invited Silika inside; he finally found out who was behind Su Min’s kidnapping incident.

Following Mo Luwei, Bing Shi looked around the majestic living room before sitting at the main armchair. She placed a few photos and documents on the coffee table. She lifted her gaze but he didn’t notice since her eyes were shrouded by a veil. Her lips didn’t carry the usual smile. In a straight line, they brought upon the heaviness of her next words, “I want fifty percent of your shares in ML’s entertainment, in exchange for Su Min, your son, and your life.”
