Chapter 66: Do You Two Have Any Dirty Secrets?

Luo Chen walked at the back, not in a hurry to head to the dining room.

As he passed the kitchen, a hand suddenly reached out and dragged him inside without warning.

"Who—?" Luo Chen instinctively cried out, but then saw a fierce yet fearful expression.

"What are you shouting for?" Lu Yuanhang glanced around, making sure no one had noticed the commotion before relaxing and pulling his body back inside. "Do you want everyone to see?!"

"Do you think this will help you escape my control?"

"Brother Hang, that's not what I meant." Luo Chen hung his head, his handsome and youthful face hiding fatigue, fear, and helplessness.

Lu Yuanhang snorted coldly, "Don't forget, your 'indenture contract' is still with me. If you want it back, bring fifty million."

Luo Chen looked up, eyes wide with shock, "Fifty million? Last week it was thirty million!"

"Does interest not increase?!" Lu Yuanhang sneered, "The longer you drag it out, the more it will cost!"

Luo Chen's heart was filled with anger, but he dared not speak it, managing only after a long pause to say, "I'm trying to earn money."

"Brother Hang, give me some more time."

Lu Yuanhang's eyes flickered, "Don't say I'm not reasonable. There's a chance now to wipe out the interest, if you can seize it."

"What?!" The dim light in Luo Chen's eyes reignited, "Brother Hang, tell me, I'll do whatever it takes!"

Lu Yuanhang suddenly became mysterious, leaning forward and whispering into Luo Chen's ear.

Luo Chen forced himself to endure the discomfort, his frown deepening as he listened, finally unable to hold back and turning his head to ask, "Brother Hang, this is illegal!"

"Of course," Lu Yuanhang huffed, "If it were easy, would it reduce several million in interest?"

"Think it over carefully."

"If the debt becomes public, your reputation will be ruined!"

Luo Chen remained silent.

Lu Yuanhang patted his shoulder, "Let me know when you've made up your mind."

"You know I don't have much patience, and I might change my mind at any time."

With that, Second Young Master Lu walked out of the kitchen, only to be suddenly blocked by a tall figure.

"Damn!" Lu Yuanhang clutched his chest, "Yuan Feng, what are you doing here?!"

His reaction was instant, his expression becoming unnatural,

"How could you eavesdrop on others?!"

Yuan Feng's lips curled into a mocking smile, "Do you two have any dirty secrets?"

"Of course not!" Lu Yuanhang hurriedly denied, "We're from the same agency, isn't it normal to chat privately?!"

"But you, lurking around like that, it looks suspicious!"

Yuan Feng's sharp gaze darted between Lu Yuanhang and Luo Chen, then after a few seconds, he raised the plate in his hand,

"The garlic egg yolk sauce is gone, I came to get some more."

"Have you two finished your private conversation? Can I come in now?"

Lu Yuanhang's face turned red, "What private conversation, we were just chatting normally!"

"Oh, you two were just chatting normally," Yuan Feng sidestepped into the kitchen, deliberately raising his voice to repeat the words.

The fans in the live stream heard everything clearly,

"Hahaha damn! Brother Feng almost wrote 'I don't believe you' on his forehead!"

"Lu Yuanhang keeps emphasizing it, it sounds like 'the man who says he has no silver must have three hundred taels,' maybe there really is something fishy?!"

"Don't, don't, don't ruin my Luo Chen, such a rare find in today's talent shows, practically a fair-skinned sports god!"

"But speaking of which, isn't Lu Yuanhang notorious for exploiting juniors? Especially those from his own agency, could he be threatening Luo Chen?"

"Goodness, it's possible! Look at Luo Chen, silent and pale, it seems like something is going on!"

The director behind the monitor saw this scene and began to worry, "Damn, are these netizens all Holmeses?"

"To deduce so much from expressions alone?!"

"If this involves dark secrets in the entertainment industry, will my show be reviewed?!"

The assistant beside him offered reassurance, "Director, relax. In previous seasons, they fought until they bled, and we weren't shut down."

"After all, we're the daughter of the Third Princess,"

"Even if something does go wrong, we can always blur or AI-swap their faces, right?"

The director, hearing this, felt it made sense and gave a thumbs up, "You're smart!"

Dinner was simple, and the guests finished eating quickly. Taking advantage of the full house, they began discussing the next day's itinerary.

The apartment owner spoke up first, "I suggest we take the bus and then the train; it's cheaper to reach Provence this way."

Zhou Nan nodded, "Yes, by TGV, it's only three hours, but we need to locate it first."

"Can you speak in a way everyone understands? Is it fun to show off all the time?" Lu Yuanhang snorted coldly.

All the guests' eyes turned to him, their faces full of disbelief as if to say, 'You don't understand this?!'

Zhou Nan showed a wry smile, "Coming to Paris and not knowing TGV? You're one of a kind."

"I was just worried the audience wouldn't know." Lu Yuanhang explained belatedly,

"Damn! I can smell the strong scent of tea through the screen!"

"Who the hell asked you to explain?! Can you stop being funny?!"

"TGV is just the abbreviation for the French high-speed train! I advise you, if you don't understand, don't speak at all!"

At this moment, an off-screen voice interjected,

"A special reminder: when you arrive in Provence, you need to open the task locations accordingly,"

"For example, the Palais des Papes, the Broken Bridge, the Les Baux-de-Provence Rock Park, the Rhône Riverbank, the Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Theater Festival..."

"The travel guide we will distribute later will have detailed markings and time limits,"

"Due to the tight schedule and heavy tasks, the production team recommends taking the first train tomorrow morning to get to Provence as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Jian Li stood up directly, "What else is there to discuss?"

"Let's go to bed upstairs!"

"OK!"

The Vendetta Squad moved quickly, a group of them heading upstairs.

After a moment of hesitation, the other residents also followed.

Only the two Lus remained in the restaurant, stubbornly refusing to leave.

"What is this?!" Lu Yuanhang pouted, complaining, "They don't listen to anyone else's opinion, it's no different from dictatorship!"

While grumbling, he glanced at Lu Siqi's reaction, seeing his dark expression, he added, "It's different with a new sponsor,"

"He always carries himself with such airs, as if everyone follows his every command."

"Brother Qi, isn't that right?"

Lu Siqi's face darkened, "Shut up!"

Having been scolded several times, Lu Yuanhang finally couldn't take it anymore, stiffening his neck and huffing, "Brother, they're the ones provoking you, why are you taking it out on me?!"

"That's too unfair!"

Before Lu Siqi could respond, a mocking voice cut in,

"There are plenty of unfair things, this is just the beginning,"

"Wait until your brother turns on you and breaks your legs, then you can complain."

Lu Siqi turned sharply, seeing Jian Li holding a water glass, about to go upstairs, "I, am I really that kind of person in your eyes?"

"Hah," Jian Li smirked, "You're even worse than what I said."
