Mu Junze had a faint feeling that this person's background was not simple.
Although he was not in the entertainment industry, as a paparazzo, those who dared to secretly photograph popular celebrities in the entire entertainment industry must have powerful backers behind them to act so boldly.
As for why Mu Junze was so eager to figure out the mastermind behind this, one of the reasons was that if there was really a big shot backing this person, he could seize this opportunity to get hold of the big shot's handle and make him owe him a favor. In this way, it would be easier to make the big shot do things for him in the future.
As the saying goes, the business world is like a battlefield, and doing business is like deploying troops. Troops rely on strategies.
So early the next morning, everyone split up. One group went to wait in front of Bai Ling's house. They followed her closely as soon as she left home in the morning, protecting her all the way to ensure that she wouldn't encounter any danger on the way and could safely reach the old factory on the outskirts of the city.
Another group rushed to the old factory on the outskirts of the city in advance and ambushed there, observing the situation secretly throughout.
The first group was led by Meng Nianchu. She just needed to sit in the car and watch, which was relatively easy. The second group was led by Ju Zisheng. If Bai Ling was attacked, ambushed or encountered other accidents there, Ju Zisheng would step forward to protect her, thus helping him achieve the heroic feat of rescuing the beauty.
Meng Nianchu followed Bai Ling all the way. She sighed, "This girl is really so silly. She took out 12 million just like that and handed it over to the other party. These boxes of money are what many ordinary families dream of getting in their whole lives."
Meng Nianchu sighed that 12 million could only buy a few photos for a celebrity, but for ordinary people, it was enough for getting married and having children in a lifetime. Ordinary people might never imagine that there were people living such a profligate life in the places they couldn't see.
Thankfully, nothing dangerous happened during the whole process of Meng Nianchu following Bai Ling. Bai Ling successfully arrived at the old factory on the outskirts of the city. At this time, Meng Nianchu heaved a sigh of relief. The remaining task was left to Ju Zisheng. Meng Nianchu thought to herself, hoping that this movie king could act well in this play.
Life is like a play. We have to play different roles all the time.
Meng Nianchu and the others watched as Bai Ling successfully met with the other person and then followed them into the old factory. Then they sent a text message to Ju Zisheng, saying, "I've completed my task. It's up to you next."
Everyone was secretly lying in ambush. When they saw Bai Ling being captured by Zhang Hang's people, they gave the order to prepare for the attack. At this moment, Ju Zisheng was extremely anxious. He hurriedly ordered Chen Shan, one of Mu Junze's personal bodyguards and a sharpshooter who never missed a shot, to set up a crossbow and be ready to rescue Bai Ling at any time.
What happened next was just as Bai Ling saw. Just as Zhang Hang's hand was about to touch the inappropriate place, the arrow pierced his arm with a single shot.
This arrow was the signal for the attack. After seeing it, everyone kicked open the iron gate and rushed in.
Cui Xi was with Meng Nianchu. Since Meng Nianchu was pregnant and it was not convenient for her to participate in the action, this group was led by him. They rushed in, while another group led by Ju Zisheng rushed towards the people who were controlling Bai Ling.
After Ju Zisheng rescued Bai Ling, he asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
When Bai Ling saw it was Ju Zisheng, her emotions completely collapsed. She jumped up and hung herself on Ju Zisheng, crying loudly.
Just now, Bai Ling was already completely desperate. She thought she was going to be defiled here today. Unexpectedly, Ju Zisheng came with his people like a divine army to rescue her. This really exceeded her expectations.
Ju Zisheng hugged Bai Ling and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, "It's okay, Bai Ling. I'm here to save you. Don't worry. You're safe now."
"Yeah!" Bai Ling replied. Her makeup was all smeared from crying. She got off Ju Zisheng with a pitiful look on her face and said, "Sheng, I'm sorry. I was wrong."
Ju Zisheng was a bit angry at first, but when he saw Bai Ling like this, he couldn't be angry at all. He just smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. I know everything."
Bai Ling was shocked. Did Meng Nianchu tell him about that? So she quickly let go of Ju Zisheng's hand.
When Ju Zisheng saw Bai Ling let go of his hand, he quickly grabbed it again.
Bai Ling was startled by his action and quickly said, "Sheng, we..."
"Bai Ling," Ju Zisheng suddenly interrupted Bai Ling. He looked at her affectionately and said, "I'm sorry. I was also wrong. I've been hiding something from you."
When Bai Ling heard Ju Zisheng say this, she was also stunned. She couldn't believe that Ju Zisheng also had something to hide from her.
At this moment, Ju Zisheng decided to confess. So he told Bai Ling everything he had discussed with General Manager Ye and other senior executives of the company before.
"So General Manager Ye asked you to reject my proposal just to create a hot topic and increase the exposure. We were all deceived."
Bai Ling covered her mouth in surprise as she listened to Ju Zisheng's words. She couldn't believe all this.
She shook her head and continued to try to pull her hand back. She wanted to stay away from all this. The feeling of being deceived was really too terrible.
Ju Zisheng took another step forward and knelt down on one knee directly. This action startled Bai Ling.
"Bai Ling, everything I'm saying now is from the bottom of my heart. There won't be a single bit of deception. You have to believe me, okay?"
Bai Ling hesitated for a moment when she saw Ju Zisheng like this, and then she nodded.
She chose to believe this man one more time, hoping that this time she wouldn't be deceived again. Otherwise, she would never believe anyone again in the future.
"Bai Ling, will you marry me?" Ju Zisheng said affectionately the words that he should have said at the concert.
As he said that, he took out a square box from his pocket. Inside was a pure silver ring that Ju Zisheng bought from a local market before leaving Austria.
He thought of their experiences during the training in Austria and felt extremely emotional. He thought that such a ring was much more meaningful than a diamond ring of several carats.
Bai Ling was completely shocked by Ju Zisheng's words and couldn't say a word. She stood there stunned. In her mind, all the past between the two of them kept flashing back - sweetness, sadness, happiness, pain. All of it turned into tears gushing out at this moment, along with three words.
"I do!"
Bai Ling nodded while crying. She finally chose to believe this man.
After all, she deeply loved this man and hadn't completely given up on him.
"Thank you!" Ju Zisheng said as he put the ring on Bai Ling's ring finger. "I'll protect you well in the future."
"Yeah, Sheng. I'll also try not to cause you any trouble."
Just as the two were in a sweet moment, a familiar voice suddenly came.
"Wow, it's so sweet. Stop showing your love for now."
