DBSNTM- Chapter 87.2 Track me Down?

“Keep your word.” Yibo leaned over and gave him a kiss as a reward.

Zhan was amused.

Yibo hugged him and kissed him for a while before he stood up to leave.

Standing at the door, Yibo looked at him with a serious face, “I might not come here often in the following days”

“Alright.” Zhan leaned against the door. He paused for a few seconds and then nodded.

Yibo frowned, “That’s it? Will you miss me?”

Zhan felt that Yibo was talkative today. She directly pushed him outside and said, “Just go.”

---

As Yibo had said that he would not come to see him in the following days, he didn’t show up.

Zhan worked with the crew and discussed the script with Dilraba occasionally. His life was peaceful.

When the work with the crew finished, Dilraba came to Zhan and said mysteriously, “Go to a dinner party with me tonight.”

“What dinner party?”

Dilraba explained, “It’s a formal dinner. We just need to eat.”

Zhan answered straightforwardly. “Alright.”

It wasn’t until Zhan got in the car that he remembered to ask Dilraba, “Where are we going to have dinner?”

As Dilraba drove, she replied, “Golden Cauldron Club.”

While waiting for the traffic light to change, Dilraba looked Zhan up and down and asked. “Are you sure you don’t want to change your clothes?”

“No. I’m fine with this,” Zhan turned his head to look out of the window and answered absent-mindedly.

After pondering for a while, Dilraba asked, “Alright. Are you heartbroken after being dumped by Yibo? Don’t you want to find another man?”

Zhan did not expect that Dilraba would bring up this topic. He replied casually, “Let’s talk about it next time.”

They continued to chat and soon arrived at the Golden Cauldron Club.

Zhan couldn’t help looking around as soon as he got out of the car.

Yibo often came here for dinner, so Zhan thought he might meet him.

“What are you looking for? Let’s get in there.” His thought was interrupted by Dilraba.

“Alright.” Zhan hurriedly replied and followed her.

When they entered the private room, they saw a lot of people.

There were men and women, including a few girls that often appeared on big screens lately.

Dilraba leaned over to Zhan and whispered, “Look, the one in the white shirt had cosmetic surgeries. And that one in a pink dress had a fake diploma…

Zhan didn’t know that Dilraba liked gossips.

Zhan joked, “If one day I can’t come up with any script, I’ll register a Weibo account to expose the stars’ secrets. I’ll make a living as an online celebrity”

“Without a backer, you will be killed for that. I bet!” Dilraba looked at him with a sneer.

Zhan smiled and said, “You are my backer.”

“Who am I? Yibo is the best backer. If you hadn’t divorced him, you could do anything you want in the entertainment industry now, you can make movies with your own script as you wish…”

Dilraba suddenly paused as she realized that she shouldn’t have said this.

She turned to look at Zhan. It seemed that he was not angry.

But Dilraba still changed the topic, “I heard that some big shots will be here today. I wonder who they are.”

Zhan soon knew who Dilraba was talking about.

“Mr. Zhan.”

Looking at Haoxuan, who was smiling warmly in front of him, Zhan felt that he should have checked his fortunes before going out today.

Zhan replied with a smile, “Mr. Haoxuan.”

In front of others, he should pretend to be a friend.

At this moment, another person walked in.

“Haoxuan, why do you walk so fast? You should wait for me.” Zanilla walked over and grabbed Haoxuan’ arm.

Zanilla became alert as soon as she saw Zhan, “Zhan?”

Before Zhan replied, Haoxuan said gently, “Zanilla.”

Zanilla, who had a gloomy expression on her face just now, immediately changed her countenance as she heard Haoxuan called her.

She leaned on his arm, Her change of expression was as fast as the flipping of a page.

After Haoxuan and Zanilla took their seats, Dilraba asked Zhan, “You know Wen Haoxuan?”

Although Haoxuan had broken with Yibo, people didn’t know Haoxuan had connection with the Wang family and that Yibo was the boss of Yuehua Media Company.

Zhan lowered his eyes slightly and said, “I had an affair with him before. You forgot that?”

Dilraba’s expression showed that she understood.

“Haoxuan, I want to eat that.”

“Haoxuan, don’t drink so much wine…”

During the meal, all Zhan could hear was Zanilla’s coquettish voice.

And Haoxuan always had a gentle expression on his face. He looked so tender that Zhan almost believed they were truly in love.

Dilraba was also disgusted with Zanilla.

Before the dinner was over, Dilraba stood up and said, “We’ve got something to do. Excuse us.”

“Ms. Dilraba, it’s still early. Let’s chat for a while.” For politeness, people tried to keep her.

Zhan just came with Dilraba, he didn’t need to deal with others. He was just here to eat and drink.

However, someone didn’t think so.

Zanilla looked up at Zhan and said slowly, “Zhan, why are you leaving now? Do you dislike me? Although the Wang family has abandoned you, you are still my brother.”

Everyone knew about Zhan’s multiple identities, but because of Dilraba, no one dared to give him any trouble.

Zanilla had a grudge against Zhan, so she would take any chance to harass Zhan.

“You regard me as your brother. Should I feel honored?” Zhan smiled, his eyes bright and dazzling.

Amongst the crowd of beautiful movie stars, Zhan was still eye-catching.

Zhan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, “Have you forgotten? Half a year ago, Mr. Xiao already claimed on newspaper that he had broken the father-son relationship with me.”

A smart person could understand briefly that the Xiao had come up with such a plan for fear of being implicated by Zhan.

Although most people would probably do the same thing as Jianmin under such a situation, it was still not an honorable act.

So, the Xiao was naturally looked down upon.

And Zanilla was mocking at Zhan on purpose, so obviously that even a fool could know her ill intention.

She looked in the direction of those actresses and snorted, “What are you laughing at?”

Those actresses also had some backers, so they didn’t even put Zanilla in their eyes.

No one in the entertainment industry was simple, let alone a woman.

“Do you think the Golden Cauldron is yours? We just felt happy and laughed. Why do we need your permission?” asked one actress.

“Who do you think you are? How can you talk to me in such a tone?” With that, Zanilla turned to look at Haoxuan, who was standing beside her, as if she wanted Haoxuan to speak up for her.

Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that Haoxuan had been loosening up for the past six months.

First, he had cancelled his contract with Yuehua Media Company, and then he had started a relationship with a woman whose reputation was as rotten as a ditch.

His reviews were getting worse and worse, and the scripts he got also became terrible, but it didn’t decrease his status much.

Haoxuan did not intend to speak for Zanilla. He only raised his wrist to check the time and said, “I have something to do. I’ll go now.”

With that, Haoxuan turned to look at Zhan and said in a gentle tone, “How do you get back, Zhan? Shall I drive you to home?”

He just called him “Mr. Zhan”, but now, he directly called him by his name.

Such a change on the close address reminded the people present of the scandal between Zhan and Haoxuan.

There might be a story between the two.

Zhan was sure that Haoxuan had done it on purpose.

Haoxuan knew that he and Zanilla were incompatible, so he had deliberately done this to increase Zanilla’s hatred towards Zhan.

“Sorry, Mr. Wen, I’m not that familiar with you.” With that, Zhan did not stay any longer and walked straight out.

When he turned around, he noticed the way Zanilla looked at him, as if Zanilla wanted to tear him apart.

Zhan felt Haoxuan was completely insane.

Haoxuan went crazy all of a sudden, He didn’t care about his reputation, nor did he care about his acting career. It was as if he had completely given up on himself and even dug a hole for himself.

Dilraba followed Zhan to leave.

“Have you been Haoxuan’s boyfriend?” Dilraba seemed to be exceptionally interested in gossips today.

Zhan firmly denied, “No.”

Dilraba and Zhan had worked together for so long, and she know a little about Zhan’s personality. If Zhan had denied it so firmly, then he must be telling the truth.

But Dilraba was still a little curious.

“Then what’s the relationship…”

Zhan stopped walking and interrupted her, “What’s the relationship between you and Dylan? Previously, you… with Yibo… for him…”

Before Zhan could finish his words, Dilraba covered his mouth.

Zhan stretched out his hand to push her arm away, but Dilraba covered so forcefully that Zhan failed to free himself from the grip.

Then Zhan stopped struggling and looked at her with enquiring eyes.

Seeing Dilraba’s expression of wanting to commit suicide, Zhan followed her gaze to look over.

Dylan was standing near them.

Then … did Dylan hear what he had said just now?

Zhan turned to look at Dilraba.

Dilraba glared at him and turned around to flee.

Zhan was lost for words.

He was a little embarrassed, but he took the initiative to greet Dylan, “Mr. Dylan.”

“Mr. Zhan.” Dylan nodded to Zhan in a formal manner and greeted him.

However, when Zhan was turning around to leave, Dylan stopped him. “Mr. Zhan, you just said…”

“I didn’t say anything. If you want to know something, go and ask Dilraba.” The next second, Zhan also ran away as fast as he could.

Dilraba had already driven away without waiting for Zhan.

Zhan laughed, and he had to take a taxi back by himself.

He stood by the side of the road and couldn’t help but look back at the door of the Golden Cauldron.

He didn’t meet Yibo tonight.

When he turned around, he found a black car parking silently ahead of him.

Zhan’s eyes lit up, and he immediately thought it was Yibo.

However, the smile on Zhan’s face died away when the window was rolled down and he saw the person in the car.

It was Jason. He put an arm on the window and showed a meaningful smile. “Zhan, long time no see!”

“Long time no see.” Zhan silently took two steps back.

Jason saw his small movements. He reached out his hand and knocked on the car window a few times. He said slowly. “We are old friends, after all. It’s been a long time since we last met each other. Don’t be so indifferent.”

“Next time.” Zhan pursed his lips and said, “I’ll treat you to dinner next time.”

“Do I need a dinner?” Jason smiled warmly, but it was not easy to answer his question.

Zhan was still pondering how to deal with him when Jason said, “Do me a favor in a few days.”

“What’s that?” Zhan looked at him vigilantly.

Seeing through his thoughts, Jason smiled and said, “Don’t worry. It’s neither killing people or stealing goods, nor violating your moral ethics.”

Jason said everything and cut off Zhan’s retreat.

Zhan had no way to reject but could only nod and say, “Alright.”

The glimmer of smile deepened in Jason’s eyes, “Tell me your phone number.”

Zhan gave Jason his phone number.

After storing the number into his phone, Jason said, “Are you going back now? Let me drive you home.”

Zhan, of course, would not get on his car.

“Don’t bother. I can go back by myself.”

Jason did not force her. “Goodbye, then.”

Seeing Jason’s car off, Zhan took a taxi home.

---

Jason had mentioned that he wanted Zhan to do him a favor in a few days.

But in the end, Zhan was informed that he should accompany Jason to a banquet.

When Zhan knew it, he refused at once. “You can find someone else. I can’t help you with this.”

Yibo had asked him not to meet Jason.

How could it be possible to drive Jason out of his sight? But he could refuse to attend the banquet with him.

Jason seemed to have anticipated that Zhan might refuse early on, so he calmly replied, “You promised me earlier. You never go back on your words.”

“But I can do it now.” Zhan rejected firmly.

After a long silence, Jason stared at Zhan for a while and said in a ridiculed tone, “Because of Yibo?”

Zhan stiffened for a moment without saying anything.

Everyone thought that he had truly broken up with Yibo, but Jason did not think so.

Jason did not mind Zhan’s silence.

Instead, he leaned closer to him and said softly, “Zhan, I know you better than anyone else. I know what you are thinking and what you want.”

Zhan was not used to men other than Yibo being so close to him.

He retreated, but Jason suddenly reached out to grab his wrist and said, “Wang Yibo is not for you. His family is too complicated.”

“What do you mean?” Zhan narrowed his eyes and questioned, “When I went abroad, you said the same thing to me at the airport. You mentioned that his family was complicated. How complicated it can be? How much do you know?”

Jason did not expect that Zhan would give him so many rhetorical questions, His tone and eyes were filled with aggressiveness.

The smile at the corners of Jason’s mouth faded and he said in a serious tone, “I won’t hurt you, In the past, I might have used you like Zanilla and the others, but I’m now doing everything for your own good.”

“What do you know about the Wangs? Tell me.” Zhan became more certain that Jason had known something.

“Are you so eager for the answer?”

Zhan nodded.

Jason loosened his grip on Zhan’s wrist and said with a cold face, “Attend the banquet with me. I’ll tell you everything after that.”

“You…” Zhan stared at him in astonishment. This was clearly a threat.

Perhaps his thoughts were revealed from his eyes so obviously that Jason could see what Zhan was thinking.

“Zhan, it’s not a threat. I’m a businessman, so I won’t do anything that can’t bring me benefits. If you want me to tell you something, you must pay for it. I just want you to accompany me to a banquet.”

Jason’s tone was very serious.

Zhan thought for a moment and reckoned that what Jason had said made sense.

He already owed Jason a favor, and Jason had no obligation to tell him what he had known.

If he really knew anything about the Wangs, it must be a big secret.

Whether Jason told him or not was also his prerogative.

Thinking of it, Zhan asked him to confirm one thing, “Just to attend a banquet? After that, you’ll tell me the secret?”

Jason frowned slightly, seemingly a little unhappy but he nodded. “Yes.”

The banquet that Jason was talking about was held at eight p.m, on a Friday night.

The venue was in a seven-star hotel in the Beijing.

As soon as Zhan got out of the car, he saw Jason in a white suit.

“You look beautiful today” Jason saw Zhan getting off the car and walked towards him.

Actually, Jason wanted to pick him up from home, but Zhan refused him with cold face.

Zhan was a stubborn man. Since he had promised to accompany Jason to the banquet, what he would do was only to stand with him in the banquet hall.

Zhan avoided Jason’s hand and said, “Thank you.”

Jason withdrew his hand and stared at him back with a faint smile.

Zhan changed a lot.

Zhan and Jason walked in side by side.

Out of courtesy, Zhan held onto Jason’s arm and entered the hall with him.

Many people had already reached the hall. Among them, a large number of women had gathered together.

As Zhan passed by, he heard what they were talking about.

“How’s my hairstyle today? The designer just came back from a European tour. It’s really cool…!

“Nice dress.”

“I wonder if Mr. Wang would be attracted by me later.”

Mr. Wang?

Zhan suddenly stopped.

At this moment, Jason’s voice rang out in Zhan’s ears. “I forgot to tell you. Yibo will also come.”

It took Zhan a few seconds to understand what Jason meant.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Zhan turned to look at Jason with a slightly cold expression.

Jason smiled, looking quite innocent. “I didn’t know it until now.”

Zhan sneered. How could he believe what Jason said?

He turned around and looked in the direction of the entrance of the banquet hall. Yibo wasn’t there.

After Yibo officially took over the Wang Group, he needed to attend many activities and banquets.

But those were all high-class gatherings, so Zhan never expected that Yibo would come to such a dinner party attended by Jason.

He now felt that Jason had done it on purpose.

“You are my date now and supposed to stay with me tonight.” Jason’s lips curved into a smile. He even signaled Zhan to follow him with his arm.

Zhan had mixed feelings about that.

If Yibo came and found out that he was at the party with Jason, Yibo would definitely get furious.

Zhan thought for a while and decided to be candid with Yibo first.

After taking two steps forward, Zhan held his stomach with both hands. “I have a stomachache and have to go to the restroom?”

Jason stopped and looked at him with a faint smile of disbelief.

After saying that, Zhan also felt that he had said this before.

At the beginning of the year, he left Jason at the airport and went abroad alone by playing the same trick.

Zhan also felt a little embarrassed, so he explained sincerely, “It’s true this time…”

With a thought, he made up an excuse. “I have problems with my stomach, Eating indiscriminately these past two days gave me the trots…

Jason nodded and said, “I’ll accompany you.”

How could this man be like this?

Zhan sighed and went to the restroom helplessly in the company of Jason.

After entering the restroom, he immediately called Yibo.

The connection was quickly made.

“Zhan.”

Yibo answered in a cold voice as always. He was used to saying his name directly, but after a long time, Zhan actually felt that Yibo called his name in a quite intimate way.

Zhan organized his thoughts and asked, “Are you going to a dinner party tonight?”

“So are you trying to track me down?” Yibo teased him.

“Don’t worry, I don’t have a date. Bowen will go with me.”

Hearing this, Zhan thought to himself that he would be miserable.

He didn’t know what to say anymore.

With no reply, Yibo asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I…” Zhan didn’t know how to tell him that he came to the party with Jason.

On the other end of the line, Yibo waited patiently for him to finish his sentence.

Zhan hesitated and then said, “It’s good that you don’t have a date.”

Yibo sounded quite satisfied with Zhan answer. “I’m going to the party now. I’ll call you later.”

Zhan replied, “OK.”

After hanging up, Zhan stood in the stall and grew extremely anxious.

Yibo would show up at the party. If Zhan went out, he was bound to bump into him.

After thinking for a while, Zhan made up his mind and directly sat down on the toilet.

He decided not to go out, staying here until the end of the party!

Jason had been waiting outside for Zhan for a long time without seeing him.

Then, he called him.

Without being able to get through to him, he worried that something had happened to him.

When the dial-up connection was about to be interrupted, Zhan answered the phone, “Hello.”

Jason heaved a sigh of relief and asked him, “Why don’t you come out?”

After a moment of silence, Zhan’s weak voice sounded. “I am not finished yet. You can go now, but I have to stay here for longer.”

Jason didn’t know what to say.

He knew that Zhan did not want to attend the party with him, but he did not expect that Zhan would fabricate such an absurd excuse.

Jason put his hands on his waist and said in a helpless tone.

“Zhan, have you forgotten the deal we made? You accompany me to the party, and I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Although Zhan really wanted to hear something about the Wangs from Jason, at such a crucial moment, Zhan felt that the fear of irritating Yibo conquered the desire to know about his family.

“It’s no big deal. You can just keep that to yourself. All right, goodbye.”

“Beep-

He hung up on him directly.

Hearing the busy signal, Jason was stunned and stood there for a while with a blank expression, He thought about something and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a tall and slender man walked over.

Jason narrowed his eyes and stood still. When the man approached, he stopped him and said, “Mr. Wang, long time no see.

Yibo stopped, raised his eyebrows, and said casually, “Do you really want to see me?”

Last time Jason helped Zhan escape, Yibo warned that he would teach the Gu a lesson, However, in the end, he left silver lining without bankrupting it.

Yibo had no compassion for a person who had been coveting the man he loved.

However, he knew very well in his heart that if the Gu crashed because of him, Zhan would definitely blame himself.

Jason also remembered what Yibo had done to his family.

His expression became slightly cold, but he quickly smiled again. “No, I was just waiting here for Zhan to come out. I didn’t expect to come across you.”

After saying this, Jason revealed a meaningful smile.

Sure enough, Yibo’s expression changed slightly when he heard the name of Zhan.

Yibo narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, “Who are you talking about?”

“Your ex-wife, Xiao Zhan,” Jason said word by word, intentionally emphasizing the word “ex-wife”.

Seeing that Yibo’s face had darkened, Jason continued infuriating him. “He came with me to the dinner party. After all, you two were married before. Do you want to say hello when he comes out later?”

Yibo sneered with a gloomy look. After a glance at Jason, he walked straight into the restroom.

“What are you doing?” Seeing Yibo breaking into the restroom, Jason asked with a trace of disbelief flashing across his eyes.

Now the party just began, there weren’t many people in the restroom.

Yibo got more furious at the thought of the phone call Zhan had made to him.

Zhan, you really annoyed me.

At the entrance of the bathroom, he started knocking on the door of the first stall and then continued one after another.

Sitting on the toilet in the cubicle, Zhan had a bad feeling when he heard someone knocking on the door of the cubicle one by one.

Could it be Jason?

But after thinking about Jason’s personality, he felt that it couldn’t be him.

But who was it?

By this time, the person had been outside his cubicle, knocking on the door.

The sound came two or three times in a row.

Zhan could feel the steady rhythm which gave away the stable personality of the person who knocked.

Zhan’s heart skipped a beat.

It might be Yibo..

A person’s sixth sense was such a strange thing.

There was still a door between them. They did not speak, nor could they see each other, Zhan was sure that the person outside was Yibo.

Zhan pinched his nose and lowered his voice. “Who is it? I’m not finished yet.”

The next moment, Yibo’s slightly gloomy voice sounded from outside. “Do you want me to help you?”

It was really Yibo!

Zhan patted his forehead,

How did Yibo find this place?

He couldn’t have installed a GPS positioning system on me.

Zhan decided to defend himself. “This is a toilet. What are you doing here? If you don’t go out, I’ll call the police.”

Yibo interrupted him. “Come out by yourself, or I’ll kick the door, you choose.”

His tone was extremely cold. Zhan almost shivered.

Could he choose neither?
