Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Nearly Mobilized the Entire Company for My Sister Qiao

Chen Ling: “!” Wasn’t it a bit of overkill to call so many people for just one girl?

“Did you think it was too empty? I tried to invite more, to make it up to twenty people. The main reason is that the empty rooms in the villa can’t accommodate the entire company; otherwise, I could have invited everyone.”

Sang Qiao’s voice was soft as she inquired, but her words greatly alarmed Chen Ling.

Sister Qiao actually wanted to invite the whole company, and Chen Ling, a small-time artist with average popularity, didn’t understand why she deserved such treatment!

During Chen Ling’s silence, Sang Qiao changed her mind and said, “Otherwise, I’ll book a hotel outside that can accommodate us.”

“No need, no need, Sister Qiao, just calling a few acquaintances is fine, or just Liao Liao and I can go.”

Chen Ling quickly answered, afraid that Sister Qiao might really plan to invite the entire company just to check on her ratings.

“Okay, I’ll call them, and let’s head back. We can knock off early today.”

Sang Qiao nodded slightly, grabbed her phone, stood up elegantly, and walked gracefully towards the door.

Chen Ling immediately ran after her, “Sister Qiao, can I go back to the dorm first to grab a change of clothes, then take a taxi over?”

“There are many unopened clothes in the villa, still with the tags on. You have a similar figure to me; you can wear them directly.”

Sang Qiao glanced at Chen Ling’s figure, which of course was slightly different, like the flat chest.

That was probably one of the reasons Chen Ling could completely disguise herself as a man without being discovered.

“No need, Sister Qiao, let me go back and get it. It’ll be quick; I’m not comfortable wearing someone else’s clothes.”

Chen Ling hurriedly declined, she was all too aware that Sister Qiao’s clothes would certainly not be cheap, and she couldn’t afford to repay her right now.

Sister Qiao wouldn’t expect her to repay, but Chen Ling didn’t like taking advantage of others for no reason.

Chen Ling smiled bitterly, realizing how quickly life can change. She used to be a wealthy young lady, wearing clothes worth a fortune, now that lifestyle was beyond her reach.

“I’ll drive you back; it’ll be faster with a car,” Sang Qiao softly said.

She saw Chen Ling’s dilemma and didn’t want to urge her further, afraid of hurting her feelings.

“Okay, thank you, Sister Qiao.”

As the two headed towards the parking lot, Sang Qiao sent messages to Liao Liao and Jiang Chaoyuan, and also asked Lin Weichen to come for the dinner.

Li Qingyan was currently shooting in another city, so he couldn’t make it back.

Sang Qiao was visiting the company-arranged dorm for the first time; when their driver dropped them off, the car waited at the door, and they walked in.

Only half of the residential complex was leased by Rose Entertainment, the other half belonged to other companies.

“Sister Qiao, I didn’t have time to tidy up the dorm yesterday; it might be a bit messy. How about you wait for me downstairs? I’ll just grab a set of clothes; it’ll be quick.”

Chen Ling was telling the truth. Just yesterday, she was still snacking in bed, and the bag of garbage she had tied at the bed’s head hadn’t been thrown away yet.

Also, she wasn’t sure if her roommate had put the set of clothes she changed out of yesterday into the washing machine.

Before Sang Qiao could respond, several men dressed in black and wearing hoods suddenly appeared before them, thoroughly covered.

Chen Ling instinctively stepped in front of Sang Qiao, eyeing these few men with a bad feeling.

“What a coincidence, we had no chance of catching Sang Qiao, but you delivered yourself right under our noses, still Chen Ling, the two of you are truly disgusting!”

“Why waste words with them? Just ruin Chen Ling’s face, and let’s see how she can continue acting!”

“Sang Qiao, why did you sign such a person? Do you know how much I used to like you, even when you got married, I was still a fan of yours, but you, you keep disappointing me time after time!”

Each of the people had a long, rectangular blade in hand. They had finally found out where Chen Ling lived after much effort and had been waiting here all day.

The men raised their blades and charged at them.

Chen Ling wanted to grab Sister Qiao and run away, but suddenly a pair of hands pushed her aside. She stood on the grass unable to help but turn her head back to see Sang Qiao standing still, with the men’s blades already raised high.

“Sister Qiao, watch out!”

In the nick of time, Sang Qiao pulled one down with one hand and kicked another with a raised leg, effortlessly dealing with the assailants.

The blades from the hands of the burly men dropped to the ground during the scuffle, and they could only lie there in pain, wailing, “Ah…”

The commotion had already attracted the attention of others; some people went to call the security guards, who soon hurried over, wielding electric batons, pressing down the few burly men.

“Ladies, are you alright?”

“No harm done, but how come the security in such a large complex is so poor? A bunch of people sneaked in without detection?” Sang Qiao raised her eyes, her expression cold.

If she hadn’t followed today, or if these people hadn’t struck today, Chen Ling alone could have suffered who knows what harm.

She had once witnessed the madness of sasaeng fans, but had not expected the security of such a large complex to be so lax.

“This… we have people on watch every day, and no one can enter without a card. We will definitely investigate this thoroughly and give you a proper explanation. We are truly sorry about today.”

The captain of the security guards bowed respectfully, offering a sincere apology.

Of course, he knew how dangerous the incident today had been; if not for the self-defense skills of this property owner, the two young women could have been injured.

If that had happened, the whole security team would probably lose their jobs, facing compensation claims.

“Look into it quickly. Don’t think of just finding a random excuse to brush it off. If you can’t even ensure safety, I think the artists from Rose Entertainment should consider moving somewhere else.”

Sang Qiao glanced at them coldly; half of the building housed Rose Entertainment’s artists, and she had to ensure the personal safety of her artists.

“Yes, yes, we will definitely provide you with a quick response.”

The captain of the security guards listened to the woman’s tone of voice and the content, roughly guessing that she might be part of Rose Entertainment’s management.

If they made an issue of the security failure and sought to terminate the contract, his team of security guards could well lose their jobs.

“Sister Qiao, then I’ll go upstairs to get my clothes,” Chen Ling said softly.

“I’ll go with you. Who knows if there are any more sasaeng fans hiding in the staircase?” Sang Qiao’s voice was indifferent, but her words sent a shiver down the spines of the security guards.

“Then, we’ll accompany you,” the captain of the security guards said, forcing a smile.

“Hmm.”

So, aside from the ones taking the large men to report the incident, all the remaining guards took the initiative to lead the way for both women.

It was only after they successfully reached the upper floors and confirmed there were no other sasaeng fans that they let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Ling quickly opened her closet and pulled out a backpack, starting to pack clothes. Because men were outside the door, she didn’t dare to open the closet all the way, and quickly rolled her underwear into a ball and tossed it into the backpack.
