The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 489

The next day, the filming of the MV for Sword Grave continued. Before leaving, Nan XiangWan went to the cafeteria and got two meat buns and a boiled egg.

Xiao Dong was already waiting outside the school gate in a brand new business car, ready to be a fully capable little assistant.

When Nan XiangWan got into the car, she looked around curiously: "Where did this car come from?"

Xiao Dong: "I bought it."

Nan XiangWan: "Oh, a company car assigned to me?"

Xiao Dong: "No, I bought it."

Nan XiangWan: "..."

Just how rich was this little assistant?

The two arrived at the filming location early in the morning before all the crew had arrived. Feng Kai Ji, however, had come early.

Nan XiangWan immediately handed over the meat buns and boiled egg: "Feng Director, have some breakfast."

Feng Kai Ji was overjoyed: "You brought me breakfast? Wow, this packaging - food from your school cafeteria? Army rations? This, this, this..."

Nan XiangWan: "Yeah, I saw you were very curious about my school so I brought you some to try."

Feng Kai Ji: "My god! Nan XiangWan, you...this moves me too much! Did you eat?"

Nan XiangWan: "No, not yet."

Upon hearing this, Feng Kai Ji was so moved his hands started shaking: "You didn't eat yourself but brought food for me?"

Nan XiangWan: "It's okay. You are an esteemed director worthy of respect."

Feng Kai Ji almost shed tears of gratitude!

Just then, Xiao Dong took out a large ten-layer lunch box from the car: "Boss Nan, time to eat!"

Nan XiangWan: "Great!"

The breakfast prepared by the fully capable little assistant featured a rich variety of nutritious foods.

Feng Kai Ji immediately deflated from his previous elation.

He should have known!

If Nan XiangWan was normal, she wouldn't be Nan XiangWan!

After breakfast, the crew had mostly all arrived and the cinematographer had set up the cameras.

The horse handler went to fetch the horses, but shouted the moment he opened the stable!

Chaos instantly erupted as everyone rushed over.

Before even getting close, they could see blood spilled all over the ground, an exceptionally gory and brutal scene - virtually a river of blood.

The horses, still lively and bounding about yesterday, now lay motionless in the pool of blood, bodies already stiffened!

Feng Kai Ji paled in shock: "What's going on?!"

Xiao Dong screamed at the sight of such real bloody carnage for the first time.

Nan XiangWan covered Xiao Dong's eyes with one hand, while her own eyes instantly iced over.

It was Qiu Chang!

Amidst the commotion, someone had already swiftly called the police while on-site crew rushed to check the surveillance footage first thing.

But as Nan XiangWan had expected, the entire surveillance system was destroyed, leaving no records whatsoever.

The scene had already descended into chaos, everyone furious beyond measure.

Recovering from the shock, Xiao Dong asked trembling, "Boss Nan, was this done by that man yesterday?"

Nan XiangWan desperately wanted to say yes, but she had no evidence.

Beside them, Feng Kai Ji jumped up cursing, "Who else could it be! What a bastard! What did those horses ever do to them?!"

That man in black yesterday didn't manage to succeed. And while the police report would at most classify it as a dispute and take issue with the modified military knife, with backers like Qiu Chang, it would be easy for Yi Gui's behavior to be played down into a small matter.

Who would have thought that after the subsequent police report, that Yi Gui would actually return under the cover of night?

Going so far as to sabotage the monitoring system and slaughter the horses just to fulfill his murderous impulse!

Was this on Qiu Chang's orders? Or Yi Gui's personal initiative?

Having calmed down, Xiao Dong began seething in anger, "Why did they have to do this? Was it necessary? That horse yesterday simply bolted on its own, it was their own fault for getting too close in the first place."

Nan XiangWan: "He wasn't trying to kill the horses, he was trying to kill me."

Feng Kai Ji's heart raced wildly: "Do you need me to find some bodyguards for you? A hundred? Our martial arts director is highly skilled, how about having him be your bodyguard for a while? What you just said scares me, this is way too frightening!"

Xiao Dong: "Is it the martial arts director whose knee got inadvertently kicked yesterday by Boss Nan?"

Feng Kai Ji: "..."

Nevermind, pretend he didn't say anything...

...

At the same time, in the top floor office of the Financial Tower in the Imperial Capital.

Qiu Chang was on the phone with Yun Shao, who had already fled abroad.

Yun Shao: "You've really got guts! With so much blood already on Yi Gui's hands, it's still not enough for you? Do you still want to kill Nan XiangWan? Let me warn you, she's not the same as before. That military academy is no ordinary place. And she's also a female celebrity - the public pays so much attention to her!"

Qiu Chang: "Not only do I want to kill Nan XiangWan, I want her whole family dead!"

Hearing such ruthless words, even Yun Shao felt a chill down her spine.

Qiu Chang chuckled, "As for you, didn't you emphatically declare back then that you would be the one to kill her?"

Yun Shao: "I was just venting angrily, I wouldn't dare murder anyone..."

Qiu Chang: "Oh cut the crap! You think you can still hide that little deed from me?" 𝓯𝘳𝘦𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝓃ℴ𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝓬𝘰𝑚

She composed herself before asking: "When are you coming? Yi Gui and Er Gui can't handle Tan Shen. He is truly too meticulous, profound and unfathomable. I simply can't see through him!"

Qiu Chang: "Watch your tone when speaking to me, don't assume I won't make a move against you."

Yun Shao nervously swallowed her saliva: "I'm saying this because I'm worried about you. You act too drastically - it's very easy to expose what you're doing."

Qiu Chang: "Plenty of people have their eyes on me, they just don't dare make a move."

Yun Shao was shocked: "So you still..."

Qiu Chang: "Afraid of what? As long as the old master doesn't die, I'll always be safe."

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Chang addressed his secretary: "Go, organize a press conference and announce some new product, be sure to emphasize my identity as the eldest grandson of the Qiu family and the fact that I'm Chairman of the Qiu Corporation. It doesn't matter how the product is touted, just first rake in some money then transfer it to my overseas account - you know, that account."

The secretary silently nodded and turned to carry out his orders.

But Qiu Chang suddenly shouted for her to stop: "Wait!"

The secretary halted her footsteps and obediently turned back awaiting instructions.

Qiu Chang looked her up and down: "How many days has it been since you last had candy?"

The secretary's body instantly tensed up, heart pounding with dread!

Qiu Chang sneered while leaning back in his boss chair: "Not bad, you've mixed in quite well."

The secretary immediately fell to the ground, fervently knocking her head on the floor: "I didn't mean to! I didn't mean to!"

Qiu Chang: "You stole my candy, or did you find another supply channel?"

The secretary: "I...I..."

Qiu Chang: "Tell the truth, or you know what's coming."

The secretary hastily explained: "My dosage recently increased on its own, I didn't dare tell you, afraid that you'd..."

Qiu Chang raised a brow: "Afraid of what, it's just needing a bigger dose, no big deal."

As he spoke, he casually opened a drawer and tossed two pieces of candy onto the floor.

The secretary instantly scrambled over, cradling the two pieces of candy in her palms like precious treasures before scurrying out of the office.
