Chapter 488: Chapter 489: 488 Family (6)

Qin Baizhou looked at him, his eyes seeming to be poisoned.

Even though his gaze was sharp, when he opened his mouth, his voice seemed to carry a smile, a complete “smiling tiger,” “Teacher Bo, you too.”

“Certainly.” Bo Yan’s face was full of smiles, the two men passing by each other, one heading in and the other out.

As Bo Yan reached behind Qin Baizhou, just about to close the door, Qin Baizhou stopped him, “Bo Yan.”

He didn’t address him as “Teacher Bo”; clearly, he was not using the industry’s way of greeting, he was going to talk private matters!

Bo Yan paused, turning back.

Qin Baizhou knew that the door was not closed, and Xia Siyu inside could hear. He had even predicted that Bo Yan daring to wait so openly outside Xia Siyu’s door, was not afraid of being photographed by other guests, surveillance, or paparazzi. That meant Bo Yan must have taken measures.

Indeed, in addition to booking all the rooms on this floor, ensuring that the hotel service staff could not casually come up here, he also distracted the paparazzi by having them follow the film crew to scout locations. Moreover, he had Song Fengzhi, on behalf of the crew, request that there be no surveillance on this floor.

The reason was simple: since the “film crew” was staying here, they feared that the hotel’s surveillance might leak something inappropriate.

Indeed, there had been several incidents of artists being secretly filmed in hotels before. And besides this stretch of surveillance, all the cameras at the elevator and stairwell were still there, so from a security standpoint, there were no issues, and the hotel agreed to the request.

Since Bo Yan had taken measures, Qin Baizhou was not afraid to speak at the door. He said, “I hope Mr. Bo prioritizes Siyu above all else. Refrain from disclosing anything about the two of you and don’t cause her any trouble. Siyu’s journey to her current status has not been easy. But if news regarding a top-tier star comes out now, all the effort she has put in over seven years might vanish into thin air.”

Xia Siyu, unable to hear, was somewhat moved. Bo Yan, however, was internally assessing and thought Qin’s ability to act like a “green tea man,” was indeed not bad.

All he did was smile, “That’s not something you need to worry about, Mr. Qin. Good night.”

After saying this, Bo Yan immediately closed the door.

The smile on Qin Baizhou’s face completely disappeared as soon as he was alone, his eyes narrowing as he thought hard about how to deal with the situation.

He had already sent someone to look into Xia Siyu’s background, to investigate her family, but with just one day’s time, it was impossible to instantly get results.

When handling matters, he always made thorough preparations. Besides having his subordinates conduct the investigation, he also thought of another way that should be able to reveal Xia Siyu’s family circumstances.

— That would be Zhou Weiwei, Xia Siyu’s only friend in the circle and her college classmate.

Qin Baizhou lowered his head, apparently having Zhou Weiwei’s WeChat. He pulled it up and sent a message: “Miss Zhou, do you have time recently to have a meal together?”

Zhou Weiwei has always been neither red-hot nor completely unknown, but he liked that about her, as it left room for manipulation.

Inside the door.

Xia Siyu was still finding it hard to digest. A friend and buddy of seven years had actually confessed to her today. Even though Qin Baizhou had been very humble, it was his very humbleness that instead put pressure on her.

Seeing Bo Yan come over, she directly refused, “I don’t want to.”

Bo Yan did not reply immediately, he just walked over, lightly sniffing her neck, his voice soft, “But I want to.”
