HPDBC Chapter 17
Chapter 17
After the luxury car came to a stop, a man and a woman hurriedly got out of the car.
The woman opened the trunk, took out two suitcases, and handed them to the man, whispering something at the same time.
Assistant Feng looked at the two figures and found them increasingly familiar.
He definitely knew these two people, but the surveillance footage was a bit small, making it hard to see clearly.
As if sensing what Assistant Feng was thinking, Huo Jing enlarged the surveillance footage, and the faces of the two people appeared clearly on the screen.
The moment he saw their faces clearly, Assistant Feng’s breath hitched, and he exclaimed in disbelief, “My brother and his agent... How could they be here?!”
At this moment, the conversation between the two was transmitted through the surveillance screen:
The agent said, “...there’s nothing particularly noteworthy. Just remember not to let them take pictures inside. The double-person supplies I prepared for you are in the small suitcase. Once you go in, quickly place them in the master bedroom’s bathroom to create the atmosphere of cohabitation, and also...”
Feng Ziqi interrupted the agent impatiently, “I know what to do. Hurry and leave before you run into the program crew.”
The agent hesitated before speaking, “Have you contacted your brother? If today’s program gets aired and President Huo...”
“Don’t worry,” Feng Ziqi waved her off confidently, “I’ll handle everything. Just leave.”
If Assistant Feng was unsure of what was happening just moments ago, he fully understood now after hearing the conversation between the agent and Feng Ziqi!
Feng Ziqi had always maintained the image of a wealthy young master. To sustain this image, renting luxury cars and houses for video shoots was routine, and Assistant Feng had often helped with this.
But... Huo Jing’s private residence was absolutely not for rent!
Where did Feng Ziqi rent this house from?
Could there be some misunderstanding...
No, the agent had just mentioned “President Huo,” meaning...
Assistant Feng nervously swallowed.
Both the agent and Feng Ziqi knew this house was Huo Jing’s private residence.
Assistant Feng closed his eyes, clearly hearing his own heartbeats quicken, and sweat beaded at the tip of his nose from the tension.
He silently prayed that Feng Ziqi would just take pictures at the door and not go inside, as he didn’t have the key to Huo Jing’s mansion.@@@@
However, the next moment, Assistant Feng watched as Feng Ziqi and the agent parted ways, and he carried the suitcase to the villa’s door.
The surveillance footage switched to the camera facing the front door, clearly capturing Feng Ziqi taking out a key and inserting it into the villa’s lock.
With a click, as the lock opened, a string in Assistant Feng’s mind simultaneously snapped.
Blood surged through him, and Assistant Feng’s face turned bright red, his eyes filled with blood.
He looked nervously at Huo Jing, just in time to meet Huo Jing’s cold, emotionless eyes.
Assistant Feng’s face was full of shame, his voice stuck in his throat, “President... President Huo...”
Mama Huo glanced at Huo Jing with slight disapproval.
Assistant Feng found out about this matter even later than they did, so why was the eldest scaring this honest man?
Mama Huo patted Assistant Feng’s shoulder reassuringly, “It’s okay, we all know you were unaware. Let’s keep watching.”
Assistant Feng could hardly keep watching. He was now both ashamed and annoyed, unable to sit still, with even his neck turning red. But there was nothing he could do at this moment. The program crew filming Ye Leyao had already arrived, and if he really rushed in, it would ruin everything.
Hearing the sound of the key inserting into the lock, Ye Leyao knew it was Feng Ziqi arriving.
The assistant director and three cameramen had gone to shoot the full view of Huo Jing’s villa, leaving only one live camera facing Ye Leyao. This live camera was placed in a somewhat hidden spot, making it invisible from the entrance.
[Here he comes, here he comes, here he comes!]
[It’s a pity that I can’t see the live comments in real-time!]
Thinking of the comments, Mama Huo turned her head to look at Huo Jing.
Huo Jing resignedly enlarged the real-time comment screen a bit.
“No, isn’t this live room for the new guest, Ye Leyao? This person is Ye Leyao! Where did the fan come from?”
Unfortunately, Ye Leyao was a newcomer with a much smaller fan base than Feng Ziqi. This comment was quickly drowned in the flood of others.
Mama Huo frowned as she watched.
Assistant Feng was even more alarmed.
What was his brother doing?!
And saying this was his house...
Assistant Feng felt it was becoming difficult to breathe.
Ye Leyao shook his head in denial, catching the key point, his eyes sparkling, “I’m not a fan, and did you just say this is your house?”
[Great, this angle must have captured everything!]
“If this isn’t my house, then whose is it...” Feng Ziqi frowned. Why was he explaining to a fan? “Even if this isn’t my house, you, a fan, can’t just break in, can you?”
“I have a program recording later, and I don’t want to argue with you. Get out of here quickly, or don’t blame me for being rude!”
Ye Leyao said, “So is this your house or not?”
Feng Ziqi was genuinely amused out of anger.
In the past, as soon as he threatened to call the police, which fan wouldn’t be scared?
But the person in front of him not only wasn’t in a hurry but insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
Could it be a fan of his and Huo Jing’s CP (couple pairing)?
Feng Ziqi’s face darkened even more. In that case, he had to be even more careful with his words. He said in a deep voice, “This is indeed not my house. It’s my boyfriend’s house. Can you leave now?!”
[Alright, alright, you’ve admitted it. I’ve been waiting for you to say this!]
Ye Leyao quickly covered his upward-curving mouth with his hand, his eyes full of surprise, “Your boyfriend?”
Feng Ziqi’s patience was completely gone: “You’ve followed me all the way here, don’t tell me you don’t know who my boyfriend is?”
Ye Leyao chimed in at the right moment, “Who is it?”
“Huo Jing!” Feng Ziqi rolled his eyes, “Do you need me to open Baidu to search Huo Jing’s information for you?”
The assistant director and three cameramen who had just come downstairs: “?”
Was that Feng Ziqi’s voice?
Why was he here?
And he admitted his relationship with Huo Jing!
This was a huge scoop!
The assistant director and cameramen exchanged glances, and the cameraman quickly raised his camera, pointing it at the living room.
Feng Ziqi was genuinely angry and didn’t notice the commotion, warning the boy in front of him in a deep voice: “I see you’re young, so I don’t want to argue with you. Get out of here quickly, or I’ll call security to throw you out. You fans are going too far, not only following me but even coming to my boyfriend’s house! I’m telling you, this is trespassing, and if I sue you, you’ll...”
“But,” Ye Leyao frowned slightly, looking very puzzled, interrupting Feng Ziqi’s tirade in a voice just loud enough for the live room and the cameramen crouching on the stairs to hear clearly, “how come I’ve never heard my big brother mention having a boyfriend?”
As soon as these words fell, Feng Ziqi froze.
Ye Leyao laughed wildly inside, trying hard to maintain his confused expression, but inside he was overjoyed:
[You’re sweating, aren’t you, hotshot?]
Papa and Mama Huo couldn’t help but smile broadly.
Huo Jing also had a smile in his eyes.
Assistant Feng, beside them, covered his face in despair.
It happened, his worst fear came true.
