After Chen Ziyan finished talking to Lu Yanhe about work, she immediately changed the subject and talked about "Jump Up." With a smile on her face, she said, "'Jump Up' sold very well. I haven't congratulated you yet on your successful crossover."
The book "Jump Up" has nothing to do with Lu Yanhe's acting career. It is a new job that Lu Yanhe has developed himself, so it actually has nothing to do with Star Entertainment.
Lu Yanhe does not have to share the money he earned from "Jump Up" with Star Entertainment.
"Thank you, Sister Zi Yan, you helped me a lot."
"I won't take credit for this, I really didn't," Chen Ziyan said. "It's your own ability."
"When Yu Jiang attacked me, Sister Zi Yan, you must have taken action, right?" Lu Yanhe said confidently, "You must have found some water army for me."
Chen Ziyan: "I did look for them, but even if I didn't, everyone would still be on your side. It's easy to tell who's trying to scam me for no reason. This kind of thing isn't complicated. We just need to guide the conversation."
Lu Yanhe knew that the online attitude towards Yu Jiang was so one-sidedly critical and negative at the time, and there must have been some internet trolls leading the trend - otherwise, the public opinion would not be so consistent.
"Will 'Jump Up' continue to be produced long-term in the future?"
"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded. "However, the specific matters will be handled by Siqi and the others. I will not be involved. I will only be responsible for the final review of all manuscripts and the final review before each issue is published."
"That's good. After all, you're really busy," Chen Ziyan said. "I was originally going to tell you that people need to have their priorities. You've taken on so much work at such a young age, and you're bustling like a top. But seeing how successful you've been, I won't say that anymore. If 'Jump Up' can become an influential series of themed books, it will be very beneficial to your acting career. I just want to remind you that the pie will be divided fairly, and there won't be any conflicts of interest. This is the most common conflict when you young people start a business together, especially with your relationship with Chen Siqi."
"We both signed the agreement," Lu Yanhe said somewhat awkwardly. "It clearly spells out who's responsible for what and how the profits will be divided. She said we have to be clear about the accounts and the money, so she doesn't have any regrets later."
"She's such a smart girl." Chen Ziyan nodded. "The longer I know her, the more I understand why you like her."
After hearing what Chen Ziyan said, Lu Yanhe felt a little embarrassed to continue the conversation.
Why does he like Chen Siqi?
Whatever the reason, it couldn't be because she was smart.
Chen Ziyan completely missed the point.
Lu Yanhe remained silent. He certainly knew that he shouldn't deny anything at this time.
-
Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan were walking on the campus.
The sunshine at this time is just right, not as hot as at noon.
Chen Ziyan was wearing a pair of high heels, her hair was curled into big curly waves, and she was swaying in her posture, exuding the charm of a mature woman.
Wherever she goes, many boys always turn their heads.
Lu Yanhe has always felt that with Chen Ziyan's image and temperament, she would definitely become popular if she debuted as an artist.
Especially since Chen Ziyan has such powerful means.
Only he who has experienced Zhou Ping'an knows how rare it is to get a reliable, capable agent who truly cares about you.
"Walking around campus, I feel like I've really aged," Chen Ziyan said. "Everyone has such youthful faces. I'm really envious."
Lu Yanhe said, "Sister Zi Yan, you look very young too. Why do you always say you're old?"
Chen Ziyan sneered and said, "Wait until you are thirty before telling me this."
Lu Yanhe: “…”
"You, a young man who's not even twenty years old, won't understand our anxiety about age."
"I……"
"You'd better not say that you don't care about getting older." Chen Ziyan glared at him again. "You'd better keep those words to yourself before you're thirty, or you'll be in trouble."
Lu Yanhe closed his mouth silently.
He felt murderous intent from Chen Ziyan.
Lu Yanhe has always known that Chen Ziyan cares a lot about her appearance and age, which makes Lu Yanhe very puzzled.
Because in Lu Yanhe's opinion, Chen Ziyan is an excellent woman in every aspect, and she has no need to have age anxiety.
Lu Yanhe was actually a little curious. A woman as outstanding as Chen Ziyan should be pursued by many men, but he had never seen any man around Chen Ziyan.
"Actually..." Chen Ziyan spoke hesitantly, wanting to tell him about Lu Yanhe's parents.
But at this moment, Lu Yanhe's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hmm?" Lu Yanhe picked up the phone and glanced at Chen Ziyan in surprise. "Sister Ziyan, I'll take a call first."
"Okay, you answer it." Chen Ziyan nodded.
The call was from Mao Jiayang.
"Hello, Yan He, where are you now? I have something to tell you." Mao Jiayang said in a serious tone.
Lu Yanhe frowned in confusion, glanced at Chen Ziyan, and said, "Is it urgent? I'm with my agent, she's coming to school."
Mao Jiayang said, "I don't know if I should be anxious. Did you know that someone has implanted a Trojan horse into your computer?"
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Chen Ziyan looked at him.
Mao Jiayang said: "Someone has planted a Trojan horse in your notebook. As long as you connect to the Internet, all your records in the notebook will be synchronized to another computer."
Lu Yanhe was stunned and completely at a loss.
-
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan returned to the cafe where they had just been.
Mao Jiayang hurried over holding Lu Yanhe's laptop.
"This Trojan horse was discovered by my teacher," Mao Jiayang said. "It happened to be my turn to give a presentation during class. After I finished, he made some changes on his computer and discovered that there was a Trojan horse program on your computer."
Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan looked at each other.
Chen Ziyan asked: "Can you find the IP address corresponding to this Trojan?"
"I tried to track it, but the IP on the other end was from an overseas country, clearly a disguised one," Mao Jiayang said. "So, I called you, even though I guess you probably didn't know what was going on."
Lu Yanhe hesitated for a long time before saying, "I really don't know what happened. I don't even know when someone installed it."
"It doesn't take long to install a Trojan like this these days; five to ten minutes is enough," Mao Jiayang said. "Anyone with access to your laptop can do it. But don't you usually carry your laptop with you?"
Although Lu Yanhe carried his laptop with him, he did not protect it like a secret.
There are no secrets inside a laptop.
When studying in the library, if you need to go to the bathroom or eat, the laptop will be placed directly on the table. If you want to access it, all students in the school have the opportunity.
It was impossible for Lu Yanhe to find out who installed it.
He asked, "This Trojan program simply transmits all my laptop's online activity records to another computer in real time?"
"Yes." Mao Jiayang nodded. "At first I thought it was done by one of your crazy fans who wanted to monitor you."
Lu Yanhe thought about it and said, "I don't know, but it's possible."
Mao Jiayang suddenly winked at Lu Yanhe: "You're not watching any porn on the computer, are you?"
Lu Yanhe frowned, "No, don't guess."
Mao Jiayang chuckled and said, "I'm just reminding you. If someone records you watching porn and leaks it, it would be a small scandal."
Chen Ziyan said expressionlessly, "For an idol star like Lu Yanhe, this is more than just a small scandal. Classmate, thank you for helping us discover this Trojan horse today."
Mao Jiayang raised his index and middle fingers, making a cool gesture, and said, "No big deal, you're welcome. I suggest you delete it as soon as possible and do a thorough check of your phone and other electronic devices. No one knows if there's a second or third Trojan."
Mao Jiayang's reminder sounded a wake-up call to both Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan.
"Similarly, I think you can call the police," Mao Jiayang said. "This kind of thing is illegal, and you can definitely seek help from the police."
Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes, nodded, and said, "Okay, thank you for your suggestion, we will consider it."
Mao Jiayang nodded, looked at Lu Yanhe, and said, "I have a dinner appointment tonight, so I'll leave first."
"Okay, thank you very much today." Lu Yanhe stood up and saw Mao Jiayang off.
"Don't be polite." Mao Jiayang waved his hand. "If you can find out who installed the Trojan horse on your laptop, please tell me. I'm also curious about what kind of crazy fan would do such a thing. I really hope it's not a classmate from our school."
Lu Yanhe smiled, sent Mao Jiayang out of the coffee shop, and then turned back.
Chen Ziyan's face was serious as she silently looked at the notebook on the table.
Lu Yanhe went back and sat down, then asked, "Sister Zi Yan, what should we do about this?"
"The easiest way is to call the police, but calling the police may not catch the person who implanted the Trojan horse on your computer," Chen Ziyan said. "Even the person who implanted the Trojan horse might just be an agent. I don't think it was done by a fanatic fan. This isn't a fanatic chasing a star. On the contrary, I think it was done by someone who has been targeting you and wants you to leave the entertainment industry."
There were quite a few people in the cafe.
Chen Ziyan said these words in a low voice and looked around. "Let's go out and talk. It's time for dinner. Let's go. I'll treat you to dinner."
Lu Yanhe nodded, put on his bag, and followed Chen Ziyan out.
Several other people in the cafe saw the two of them leave, and as soon as they left, they asked curious questions.
"That person just now was Lu Yanhe, right?"
"Who's that woman next to him? Is she also an artist? She's so beautiful."
"But that woman looks older than us."
"What's wrong with being older than us? She's mature and charming."
"Why are you so obscene when you say that?"
"Where's the obscenity?"
…
Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan walked out of the cafe.
"Where are we going to eat? You should know this area better than I do, right? You pick the place, I'll treat."
"How about we go to the cafeteria? The food in our school cafeteria is pretty good too."
"Is it crowded at this hour? I want to find a quiet place to talk to you."
Lu Yanhe was stunned and said, "Then let's go out to eat. There are many restaurants outside the school."
The two finally went to a Japanese restaurant.
There are small cubicles and few people, and the environment just meets their requirements.
After sitting down, Chen Ziyan ordered a Japanese hot pot. After all the dishes were served, she said to Lu Yanhe, "Your situation may be more complicated than you think."
Lu Yanhe was stunned when he heard Chen Ziyan say this.
His business?
Lu Yanhe reacted immediately and realized that it was the original body's business.
There are still several mysteries about him that have not been solved.
First, who was the person who lured him to the river and pushed him into the river?
Second, who is the person who wants to kick him out of Star Entertainment?
Or maybe, these two questions are the same problem, and these two people are actually the same person?
Since Chen Ziyan took over his agency affairs, she began to help him investigate this matter.
After that, Lu Yanhe didn't ask. He believed that Chen Ziyan would tell him once she found out something. Another important reason why Lu Yanhe didn't ask further was that he himself was somewhat avoiding the answer.
He didn't know if he would have the ability to bear it, or rather, to solve it, once the answer appeared. Although Lu Yanhe inherited the memories of his original body, he wasn't overly emotionally affected. He didn't inherit the original body's inferiority complex and cowardice, nor was he affected by the original body's tragic experiences.
Lu Yanhe has realized that the origin of his original body must not be that simple, but he subconsciously avoids all of this and hopes to rely on his own efforts to make himself stronger. Only in this way, after the secret is revealed, he will have enough strength to protect himself.
Now, Chen Ziyan has obviously investigated something.
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't continue to escape.
His eyes became firm as he looked at Chen Ziyan.
"Sister Zi Yan, please speak."
Chen Ziyan took out a medical report from her bag and said, "Your deceased parents are not your biological parents."
When she said this, she was paying close attention to Lu Yanhe's expression.
What surprised Chen Ziyan was that Lu Yanhe's reaction was not the shock, astonishment and disbelief she had expected.
There was almost no change in Lu Yanhe's expression. He just remained silent. He picked up the appraisal report and looked at it expressionlessly.
"This is a blood relationship test done using hair from you and your uncle," Chen Ziyan said. "It shows there's no blood relationship."
Lu Yanhe nodded, put down the report, and was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he stood up and said, "Sister Zi Yan, I'm going to the bathroom."
Seeing this, Chen Ziyan nodded and said, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"It's okay." Lu Yanhe raised his head and gave Chen Ziyan a hasty smile, tears welling up in his eyes. "If I say I guessed it before, would you find it weird?"
Lu Yanhe didn't wait for Chen Ziyan's answer. He nodded, turned around and left the room.
Chen Ziyan sat in her seat in astonishment, unable to react for a moment to what Lu Yanhe had just said.
-
Not only did Chen Ziyan not anticipate Lu Yanhe's reaction, even he himself did not anticipate it—
When Lu Yanhe heard Chen Ziyan say, "Your deceased parents are not your biological parents," he suddenly felt a sharp, tearing pain in his heart.
Lu Yanhe was very clear in his mind that it was not his emotion, but the pain was happening to him, affecting him in a direct and inseparable way.
Is it the original body's reaction?
Lu Yanhe immediately felt an inexplicable sadness.
Emotions seemed to be out of control, growing wildly like weeds sprayed with growth accelerators.
Lu Yanhe went into the bathroom and took a long time to calm down.
He walked to the sink and looked at himself in the mirror, the face that once did not belong to him but now covered his soul.
——Lu Yanhe, was that your reaction just now?
- I thought you had left completely. Is this your remaining emotional obsession, or are you really still existing in this body in some way?
Lu Yanhe looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly felt that the person in the mirror was very strange, as if looking at him with another kind of probing eyes.
Lu Yanhe didn't dare to look directly at her anymore. He turned on the faucet and washed his face with cold water.
After being stimulated by the cold water, he finally recovered.
The soul returns to its place.
This news really told him in an unexpected way that it would not be so easy for him to break free from the constraints of this world on the original owner by using the soul of a visitor from another world.
Painful emotions still have the power to destroy everything and can overturn everything at any time.
-
Lu Yanhe returned to the room.
Chen Ziyan looked at him with concern.
Lu Yanhe sat down again and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Are you okay?"
"OK." Lu Yanhe nodded and asked, "Sister Zi Yan, do you know who my biological parents are?"
Chen Ziyan shook her head and said, "Not yet. Based on your parents—I mean your adoptive parents—I've compiled a list of people who might be your biological parents based on their jobs and relationships. I've tried contacting some people and ruled out others, but I still can't be sure. I don't dare to be too obvious or make too big a move for fear of alerting them."
"Yeah, I see." Lu Yanhe nodded and suddenly laughed at himself, "So, the person who pushed me into the river might also be my biological parent?"
Chen Ziyan was silent.
She really had no way of ruling out this possibility.
Wanting to kill someone? What kind of mood would one have to be in to do such a thing?
What kind of threat does Lu Yanhe's existence pose that would make people want him to leave this world?
Chen Ziyan was reluctant to associate this with a melodramatic plot like "ethical grudges," but it was hard not to think that way. If it weren't for this background, she couldn't understand why Lu Yanhe was so worthy of being targeted.
"This time, they were able to secretly implant a Trojan horse in your computer and monitor your every move. This shows that someone has been watching your every move, from Zhou Ping'an and his men trying to kick you out of Star Entertainment to Director Li wanting you to leave 'Young Days'." Chen Ziyan said, "If it weren't for the fact that your phone is more difficult to implant a Trojan horse, perhaps this person would be more interested in implanting a Trojan horse in your phone so that they can monitor more of your information. Why would they want to monitor you?"
"Surveillance? Cell phone?" Lu Yanhe was stunned, his eyes lit up, and an idea flashed through his mind, "Sister Zi Yan, if the Trojan on the laptop can't be tracked now, can we find a way to make them want to implant a second Trojan?"
Chen Ziyan instantly understood what Lu Yanhe meant.
Lu Yanhe means fishing.
The Trojan horse implanted in the computer cannot be monitored, but as long as the current Trojan horse cannot operate normally, a second Trojan horse must be implanted. Then he just needs to wait and catch the person who secretly implanted the Trojan horse in his computer!
"What do you want to do?" Chen Ziyan asked.
Lu Yanhe said, "Change to a laptop."
"Change the notebook?"
-
At nine o'clock in the evening, Lu Yanhe logged into his laptop and sent a message to Chen Ziyan: Sister Ziyan, I'll leave the matter of my biological parents to you.
Chen Ziyan: Okay, by the way, I bought you a new laptop. You live broadcast every now and then, and you always use the camera that comes with the laptop, which is too ugly. I specially asked the manufacturer to install a high-pixel camera for you.
Lu Yanhe: Yeah, that’s great. My current laptop is a bit slow, so it’s time to replace it.
Chen Ziyan: You have made a lot of money now, so you should replace the equipment that needs to be replaced. Don’t be reluctant.
Lu Yanhe: Got it, thank you Sister Zi Yan.
Chen Ziyan: Then I’ll send it to you tomorrow.
…
Lu Yanhe opened the editorial team group of "Jump Up" again and chatted with them for a while about the production of the second and third episodes, including asking Miao Yue to write for them. After chatting normally for about twenty minutes, he exited the chat software, opened a courseware material, spent thirty minutes completing the homework for a course, and then logged into Yemai.com to check the sales and comment area of the first issue of "Jump Up".
Everything was normal until 11:30 in the evening when Lu Yanhe turned off his phone.
He stood up and Mao Jiayang immediately turned around to look at him.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
The two of them came to the balcony.
"Will that person take the bait?" Mao Jiayang asked curiously.
Lu Yanhe said, "Since he wants to monitor me so much, I'm going to change my laptop. He must want to continue implanting the Trojan horse to monitor me."
"Today's fans are so scary." Mao Jiayang didn't understand what was going on and sighed with a frown.
Lu Yanhe didn't explain anything, but just asked, "Then I'll leave it to you tomorrow."
"Don't worry, if they can implant a Trojan horse into your computer, I can do the same," Mao Jiayang said. "Bring your new computer to you tomorrow and I'll take care of it. If anyone tries to install a new program into your computer, I'll be notified. At the same time, I'll also take care of your computer. As long as your computer is turned on, the built-in camera will automatically turn on and start recording. This is very simple, but it will make your computer consume more power. Remember to plug in the power supply every time you turn it on, otherwise the battery in your laptop won't last long, and then whoever secretly implants a Trojan horse into your computer will be able to record it."
Lu Yanhe nodded, full of gratitude, "Thank you, I'm lucky to have a classmate who studies computer science."
Mao Jiayang was a little proud and complacent, and raised his chin, "Of course, leave this little thing to me."
At this time, Xiao Jing opened the door and took a clothesline to get clothes.
"What are you talking about here?" Xiao Jing looked strange.
Mao Jiayang: "Go away, this is a secret between me and Lu Yanhe, don't ask around."
"I'm not curious." Xiao Jing curled his lips.
-
Lu Yanhe thought that his conversation with Chen Ziyan today had already set the hook, and it all depended on whether he could catch the fish.
His original mobile phone had been taken away by Chen Ziyan and someone was assigned to check it.
The mobile phone he has in his hand now is a new one.
Lu Yanhe reset the alarm clock and prepared to go to bed.
"Hey, Lu Yanhe, someone took a picture of you and your agent and posted it on the school forum." Mao Jiayang suddenly laughed and said.
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Mao Jiayang read: "Lu Yanhe toured the campus with a mature and intellectual beauty, suspected to be his girlfriend! Schoolgirls, stop thinking about Lu Yanhe. Hahahahahahahaha, which sultry guy came up with this title?"
Lu Yanhe: “…”
speechless.
Even in Zhenhua, there are these boring people who like to make up gossip.
Lu Yanhe is now becoming more and more disenchanted with Zhenhua.
The school is a top school, the teachers are very capable, and there are many talented people among the classmates. But even so, there are still those boring people, boring things, and boring things.
Lu Yanhe was too lazy to respond to these messages.
I can't respond at all.
Even if what Chen Shiqiu said was true, as long as he got close to a girl, rumors of her being a suspected girlfriend would appear on the school forum.
Lu Yanhe got on the bed, closed his eyes, and thought about what Chen Ziyan had said to him today.
The script of life suddenly took such an unexpected turn.
He silently began to prepare himself mentally for being an "abandoned child" and an "illegitimate child."
Whatever his true identity is, it's a battle.
He must win. (End of this chapter)
