After Qianxun and Wang Ziqing left the casino, Qianxun said, "Brother Ziqing, it’s fine if I go back with my agent, you go ahead with your things!"
"Alright, thanks for today!" Wang Ziqing said with a smile.
Upon hearing that, Qianxun responded with a light smile, "It’s nothing! But, I hope Director Zhong doesn’t lose too badly."
At that statement, Wang Ziqing burst into laughter, "That’s wishful thinking!"
Given Director Zhong’s temperament, he wouldn’t sober up until he had lost all the tens of millions he’d won.
Qianxun couldn’t help but join in the laughter after hearing this.
After parting ways with Wang Ziqing, Qianxun was ready to head back to the hotel.
But just then, a shadowy figure in black with a mask began frantically snapping photos of them from around the corner.
Because the assailant was using an invisible camera, even Qianxun didn’t notice anything amiss.
After all, many of today’s high-tech devices are simply too advanced and too hard to detect.
After returning to the hotel, Qianxun rested for a while, then called Huo Tianzun.
"Yanzhi, are you busy right now?" As the video connected, Qianxun noticed Huo Tianzun rapidly typing on his computer keyboard.
Upon hearing this, Huo Tianzun continued with his work and said, "I’ll be done soon, baby, just wait for a bit."
"Okay, take your time, no rush," Qianxun responded immediately.
Huo Tianzun hmm’d in response, but Sun Yi and others who were on the voice call with him started to make odd noises at this point.
"Yikes," the office was nearly covered in goosebumps.
"Holy crap! That’s so cheesy it made me mistype a byte!"
"At such a critical moment, boss, is this really okay? I also nearly made a mistake! Luckily, we’re already wrapping things up!"
"The term ’coy’ must have been coined for the boss, right?" So aloof on the outside, yet so cheesy in front of his lady!
Hearing their words, Huo Tianzun just hummed lightly.
Then his nimble fingers pressed the final key, while he said to the others, "If something —almost having our defenses breached—happens again, I think you guys might as well pack up and leave."
"Boss, we’re sorry! This won’t happen again, guaranteed!" Sun Yi immediately promised.
Speaking of which, it had been a close call this time. Ever since the boss had used a ’Panda’ virus to sabotage a vast amount of data from the Fruit company, they had retaliated with a virus attack of their own.
Fortunately, they had discovered it in time, and under the boss’s direction, they had resolved the problem.
"You guys handle the rest, I’m hanging up now," Huo Tianzun said and cut off the voice connection.
Then, in a complete change from the cold words to Sun Yi and the others, he spoke to Qianxun in an incredibly tender voice, "Baby, did you finish filming today?"
Hearing this, Qianxun smiled slightly and said, "I didn’t shoot today; I spent the day at the casino with the director."
Huo Tianzun frowned upon hearing this. What’s wrong with this director? To actually drag an actress to a casino?
Seeing this, Qianxun quickly said, "But that’s just as well, because after I finish filming, I can fly straight back."
"That’s good then," Huo Tianzun’s brows finally relaxed.
Then, Qianxun told him about the encounter with Huo Tianci.
"Yanzhi, now I’m pretty sure that Tianci is related to Mo Tianji, but there’s something very strange. Today, when he brought up that he was you from a past life, he wasn’t acting right, it felt like he had become someone else," Qianxun relayed the change in Huo Tianci at the time.
