Chapter 1250 — Zhao Qibing's Inference

"I know... ah, do your best, then!" said Feng Sanmang's master.
"Very well... Master, the young lady is coming out, I have to hang up now!" Watching Xu Shilan and Sister Wang walk out of the hotel, Feng Sanmang hurriedly ended the call.
And he trusted that his master would never hold it against him, for his master would never permit Feng Sanmang to expose his own identity.
All these years, Feng Sanmang had been a bodyguard his master had assigned to Xu Shilan — a true bodyguard. Though nominally he had been hired by the manager, Sister Wang, in truth it was nothing of the sort. He had already dealt with far too many matters, and far too many people, on Xu Shilan's behalf.
Were it otherwise, Xu Shilan's path to stardom would never have run so smoothly.
In Feng Sanmang's eyes, anyone who dared to show the young lady disrespect deserved only death.
"Miss Xu, Sister Wang, what brings you back from dinner so soon?" Seeing Xu Shilan and Sister Wang return, Feng Sanmang, of course, feigned ignorance and asked.
This, too, befitted his role as driver, assistant, and bodyguard.
By now Xu Shilan had recovered her composure; she had rested a long while in the hotel restroom before finally coming out.
Which had, in turn, given Feng Sanmang ample time for his phone call.
"Ugh! Little Feng, that Zhao Qibing is a piece of work. The first words out of his mouth were that Xiaohan had to sleep with him — what kind of creature is that! He ought to take a good look at himself in the mirror and see just what he is, to dare harbor filthy designs on Xiaohan!" Sister Wang shook her head. "But he also made it clear: if Xiaohan won't sleep with him, then the treatment is off the table!"
"Oh? So the man really is a nasty piece of business!" Feng Sanmang, still pretending he knew nothing, immediately began denouncing Zhao Qibing with feigned fury. "Sister Wang, so what do we do now?"
"What can we do? From what Zhao Qibing said, there's no room for compromise whatsoever. And he seems to be the young master of some great clan or other, indifferent to money — throwing cash at him won't work either!" Sister Wang said in exasperation. "I'm afraid there's no hope at all!"
"Sister Wang, forget it. If we can't be treated, then so be it; it's nothing, I can bear it!" Xu Shilan, by contrast, took it lightly. "I've endured it all these years — a little longer makes no difference."
"Ah, it's Xiaohan who suffers for it! That Zhao Qibing truly is no good!" Sister Wang sighed.
After Xu Shilan and the others had gone, Su Jiaonang lowered his voice and asked, "Young Master Bing, shall I have Li Cihua find someone to tie Xu Shilan up...?"
"No need! Xu Shilan is a public figure, after all. Force is unwise; if any sort of scandal breaks out, it will be hard to clean up!" Zhao Qibing waved his hand. "Still, that little wench Xu Shilan has real backbone. She can actually hold out against the headache? It's only being bedded once — it won't kill her, will it? These actresses, it's not as though they haven't been bedded by men before."
"That..." Su Jiaonang hesitated, then said, "Young Master Bing, since Xu Shilan debuted, there really hasn't been a whisper of gossip about her. On her fan club forum, a great many fans believe she is still a virgin..."
"Really? She's a virgin?" Zhao Qibing was taken aback. "You can't be serious."
"As things stand, that possibility is quite real..." Su Jiaonang reasoned. "Think about it, Young Master Bing. If Xu Shilan were not a virgin, then letting you have her for a night would be nothing at all, and it would cure her headaches besides. But the way she reacted — that does seem a little suspicious."
"That does make sense!" Zhao Qibing nodded. "If Xu Shilan really is a virgin, then I've struck gold!"
"But the worry is that Xu Shilan may not come back!" Su Jiaonang said with some concern. "If that's the case, she might simply walk away today and be gone for good..."
