RED Chapter 35

The young man on the other side, although displeased with Chris’s attitude, had a purpose, so he suppressed his temper and asked, “I heard you’re in charge of the acquisition case in the Western District?”

Chris calmly replied, “Yes.”

Upon hearing his response, Andre Oden’s expression showed some delight, and his tone revealed satisfaction, “You finally didn’t disappoint me too much.”

It was evident that the other party was already aware of his private actions. Chris lowered his eyes, and his ice-blue eyes were concealed by long eyelashes. “I have to make some preparations for the future, don’t I?”

Upon hearing his words, Andre became even more pleased, “You’ve finally come to your senses!”

Chris raised his eyes and saw Andre’s excited face. He softly said, “Yes, I’ve finally come to my senses.”

While Andre was happy, he didn’t notice Chris’s abnormality and continued enthusiastically, “I’ll help you! Everything about the Bonnet family will be yours! In the future, that little bastard and that mother…”

He paused here and continued, “You can be generous when you’re happy.”

Chris interrupted him, asking, “Andre, that’s my brother and mother you’re talking about.”

Andre disliked his choice of words, “Taking away your mother and brother?”

Chris calmly stated the facts, “Andre, our situations are different. I am just an adopted son.”

Andre furrowed his brows, staring at Chris on the screen, “What do you mean by that? Is that despicable kid Emond’s child?”

Chris said, “I just hope you calm down a bit.”

Andre knew that arguing over this matter was pointless, and Chris had finally started to target the Bonnet family’s assets. He didn’t want to stimulate Chris’s soft spot due to his momentary anger.

“All right, let’s talk about your plan. What do you have in mind?” Andre forced himself to suppress his anger.

Chris explained the prepared details vaguely, and the other party became satisfied again.

After the communication ended, Chris leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and lightly stroked the plush fur of the doll cat in his arms. Caesar was purring, occasionally rubbing his head against the screen and licking Chris’s hand.

Chris’s mind was in turmoil. Although he felt he had grasped a clue, the results of the investigation didn’t align.

Initially, he thought it might be someone from the Bonnet family. However, apart from exposing a few embezzlers, he couldn’t find any other suspicious individuals.

Ethan’s social circle was straightforward. He meticulously checked everyone he had come into contact with, and there were no issues. He even examined virtual social data as a precaution but found nothing.

However, if something had been done to Ethan by someone, he wouldn’t have traveled to China to ask such questions. Chris knew Ethan must be hiding something from him.

It wasn’t until he changed his perspective that he thought of Andre. A simple test, and Andre took the bait.

Chris always knew that Andre didn’t like Ethan, or rather, he disliked any additional children from remarriage. Andre himself had a stepmother who rose to power because of her illegitimate son.

However, Andre had taken care of him when he was young, and the Oden family was a powerful one. Being the heir, despite his dislike for Andre’s attitude towards Ethan, Chris maintained their friendship.

He didn’t expect Andre to try to interfere in the Bonnet family affairs.

Chris pinched Caesar’s paw, and the smooth fur of the doll cat’s paw slipped out from its paw pad.

“Foolish…self-righteous…madman…”

Caesar raised its head and let out an innocent “meow,” a sweet and soft sound.

Chris finally showed a bit of a smile on his face. “Wait a little longer, and I’ll take you to see him.”

…

On the other side, Chi Feiran was still busy with work. He had to shoot more than one MV, and to be honest, the shooting process was quite awkward. Music was playing on the set, and he was awkwardly lip-syncing, with a wind machine blowing directly at him for better visual effects.

Every time he spoke, he ate a mouthful of wind, and in the middle of struggling, he even started hiccupping. He tried many ways to stop it, but nothing worked, so he had to temporarily stop the shooting.

Chen Mengyang still wanted to scare him from behind, but he almost had his hand twisted by Chi Feiran’s reflex. Chen Mengyang exclaimed, “Ah! Let go, it’s me!”

Chi Feiran, with a wry smile, quickly released his grip. Just when he was about to speak, he hiccupped again. For a moment, he found it difficult to say anything.

Zhou Ya hurriedly drove Chen Mengyang away, handed Chi Feiran a cup of water, and asked him to drink and see if it could suppress the hiccups.

Others at the scene were quite shocked. Chi Feiran, who seemed completely composed, could actually hide such a thing!

Li Yuan, seeing the reactions of those present, immediately turned to the cameraman and asked, “Did you capture that just now?”

The cameraman gestured from behind the camera that it had been recorded.

Finally getting a bit of relief from hiccupping, Chi Feiran, during the break, discovered that a video and gif of him hiccupping while almost dislocating his assistant’s hand had circulated on Weibo.

Chi Feiran felt embarrassed. How did this end up being posted too?

On the other hand, Chen Mengyang, the victim of the twisting incident, didn’t feel embarrassed at all. What if he got twisted a bit! Look at how Feiran has attracted more fans with this!

Chen Mengyang enthusiastically read the comments for him, even mimicking the high-pitched screams of young girls chasing stars, “Adorable! Fell in love!”
