Chapter 155: Rival in Love

Looking at the station director whose eyes were crinkled into slits with a smile, Nan Zhi thought of Yannis, a lingering question in her mind: Is Yannis really Brother Gusheng? Is he the "Y" who has been sending her jewelry and diamonds every year?

"Director, is Yannis still in the private room?"

"No, he just left."

Nan Zhi abruptly stood up from her chair and hurriedly ran toward the outside of the lobby.

Seeing Nan Zhi leave, Nan Yao frowned with an unpleasant expression. Catching the director as he walked past her, she asked, "Director, what did Nan Zhi go to do?"

The director informed Nan Yao that Yannis was about to become the first guest of their gourmet show.

Upon hearing this, Nan Yao's face turned ashen once again.

Her fingertips dug deep into her palms, almost breaking through her skin.

Why?

Why was it that even after Nan Zhi secured three hundred million in exclusive sponsorship, she still had the help of Yannis?

Yannis! That mysterious figure whom even the BBC could not invite, the most powerful and renowned vocalist of recent years—why would he give his very first public appearance to Nan Zhi's obscure little show?

Nan Yao's chest heaved violently with anger. Suddenly overcome by rage, she vomited a mouthful of fresh blood, her vision went dark, and she collapsed in a faint.

Outside the exhibition center.

Lan Yanzhi was briefing Mu Sihan on the information he had just dug up. "Yannis comes from a globally renowned audio-visual media corporation. This Yannis is quite mysterious; it is said he spent a colossal fortune to acquire the company, making him the largest and most powerful media tycoon in the world today. We can't even find out his nationality or his age—it's like running into a ghost!"

"Fourth Brother, this love rival of yours has quite a heavy backing!"

Mu Sihan narrowed his unfathomable dark eyes. "Keep digging. As long as he's breathing, we can uncover his background."

"Fourth Brother, the masked man is coming out!"

The exact moment Mu Sihan looked toward the masked man, the masked man looked back at Mu Sihan.

There was a distance between the two of them, but inexplicably, Lan Yanzhi, caught right in the middle, could feel a thick stench of gunpowder in the air.

This was the scene that met Nan Zhi's eyes when she ran out of the investment-attraction lobby.

She was practically scared out of her wits.

How did these two end up in a standoff?

Could Yannis really be Brother Gusheng?

Nan Zhi desperately wanted to rush forward and demand an answer, but with Mu Sihan present, he would probably tear her to shreds if she dashed over there.

Exercising caution and assessing the situation, Nan Zhi hid herself. Fortunately, the tense, sword-drawing atmosphere between the two men did not last long before Yannis got into a black Bentley.

***

The first episode could be recorded next week, and Yannis had promised to remove his mask at the scene! By then, she would finally know if he was Brother Gusheng!

Leaning against a marble pillar, Nan Zhi composed her emotions and prepared to return to the investment lobby. Before she could even take a step, a large shadow suddenly loomed over her.

She jerked her head up, her gaze crashing unprepared into a pair of unfathomable, dangerous dark eyes.

Never expecting Mu Sihan to suddenly appear before her, Nan Zhi felt her heart skip a heavy beat.

Staring at her with icy eyes, Mu Sihan's dark gaze flashed with a chilling ruthlessness as his deep, cold voice interrogated her, "Do you know that masked man? Are you two having an affair?"

*Are you two having an affair?*

Nan Zhi's heart leaped straight into her throat.

Seeing that Nan Zhi remained silent, Mu Sihan's gaze instantly sharpened like a pair of blades. "Speak. You are not allowed to lie, or you know the consequences!"

Nan Zhi curled her hands at her sides into tight fists. Taking a deep breath, she met Mu Sihan's dark, sharp gaze and slowly parted her lips—
