Chapter 107: Chapter 107: The Beginning of the Scandal Zhou Yun thought everything was back on track; the next half-year was filled with work, and all she needed to do was to keep her head down and do her job well. But at this moment, that person who had always been lurking in the shadows reappeared. This time, hiding behind an unfamiliar number, he said: "Remember what you said, that you and Song Chi are just friends. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your friend’s safety." Seeing this message made Zhou Yun shiver all over. If this person’s previous actions of spying, stalking, and threatening were only aimed at her, she wouldn’t be so scared. But now, he had shifted his attention to Song Chi. Zhou Yun no longer dared to dismiss these messages silently, to deal with them alone, like ignoring a crazed fan. If this person really was mentally unstable and stimulated enough to harm Song Chi... The thought made Zhou Yun tremble violently. This couldn’t happen. She wouldn’t allow it. She paced back and forth in her home with her phone, thinking through every angle, and then dialed Song Chi’s number. Song Chi picked up quickly. "Don’t tell me you’re calling to reproach me." "No, Song Chi, I have something serious to tell you." "What is it?" "I... It’s not clear over the phone. When are you free these days, in Shanghai? I’ll come to find you," Zhou Yun said. Perhaps it was because Zhou Yun had never taken the initiative to see Song Chi before, which made him realize that whatever she wanted to discuss must be quite serious. He responded, "I’m in Shanghai right now. Are you at home?" "Yes." "I’ll come to you after work, and call you when I’m close." "Alright." Zhou Yun hung up, sat on the sofa with a restless heart and felt uneasy. The most unsettling thing for Zhou Yun was that she still didn’t know who this person was. At first, she thought it was just a crazed fan, but the person’s behavior escalated, even starting to track her schedule. Zhou Yun now suspected that the rustling sound outside her hotel room door that night had also been him. At eleven o’clock at night, Song Chi arrived. "What happened?" he asked. Zhou Yun showed him the messages she’d received and explained the situation. "I’ve thought it over and feel it’s necessary to tell you, in case this person really does something extreme to you." Song Chi had contemplated many reasons for Zhou Yun’s sudden call on his way over, but he had not expected this. "Do you have any idea who it could be?" he asked. Zhou Yun shook her head. "No clue, otherwise I would have told Sister Lan already." Song Chi was shocked and asked, "You haven’t told the company about this?" "No, when I first received these messages, I thought they were just pranks. I didn’t receive many, just four times, and there was a long interval between them, so I ignored them," Zhou Yun said. Song Chi let out a sigh and said, "How naïve can you be, taking these messages as pranks? This should be checked by professionals as soon as possible, finding out where these messages came from and catching this person!" "I’ve checked already, it’s no use. The messages were sent from overseas numbers, and the sender didn’t leave any trace we could follow." "You checked?" Song Chi realized that Zhou Yun had lied to him. If she really considered it just a prank, why would she seriously investigate the origins of the messages herself? He decided to believe that Zhou Yun did not want him to dwell on this issue and did not probe further. "This person is targeting you, not me. You should ask your company to upgrade your security measures," Song Chi said. "No, I have to call your agent now. How could you have kept this from her? It’s fortunate nothing has happened yet." "Don’t, don’t, it’s so late now. I’ll tell her myself tomorrow." Zhou Yun stopped Song Chi from making the call. Song Chi looked at her skeptically and asked, "Will you really tell her?" Zhou Yun replied, "I will, I’ve said I would." Song Chi tentatively believed Zhou Yun. "You better take the initiative to tell her. I’ll confirm with your agent." Zhou Yun: "I asked you to come over to warn you to be careful!" "Don’t worry about me, I’m guarded like a fortress. With Luo Yuhu around, not even a fly can get close to me," Song Chi commented. "Where is he now?" "Downstairs, waiting for me in the car," Song Chi said. "Then you should hurry back. That’s all I wanted to tell you, just be careful." Song Chi did not budge, saying, "No, I need to check your place first, to see if everything is alright. Some people will even pick locks to get into your home and install hidden cameras." Hearing Song Chi’s words, Zhou Yun felt goosebumps all over. "You’re scaring me." Song Chi: "Don’t think I’m joking. There have been actual incidents with artists, not just in their homes but in hotels as well. In the future, you need to be careful, have your assistant learn about this, and always check your surroundings before entering a place. You don’t want to fall into someone’s trap, which would be a minor issue. Waking up half through the night and realizing someone is watching by your bed—that could be enough to faint from shock." Just listening to Song Chi’s description was enough to make Zhou Yun extremely uneasy. With a heavy heart, Zhou Yun followed Song Chi in thoroughly checking her own home. "From a preliminary check, I didn’t find anything. But I still suggest having professionals from your company come and inspect," Song Chi said. "Also, you should change your door’s passcode regularly." Zhou Yun nodded repeatedly, agreeing. Song Chi: "Then I’m heading back." Zhou Yun: "Take care of yourself." "I will." Song Chi put on his shoes, reminding her, "Don’t forget to tell your agent about this tomorrow. I’ll confirm with her." "I know, I definitely will." Finally, Song Chi left. Zhou Yun locked the door, thought for a moment, then double-checked that the door was bolted and all the windows were securely closed. She was living in a high-rise, so there was no need to worry about someone climbing through the windows. But after Song Chi’s remarks, she became overly cautious. She couldn’t afford to take any chances, and had a restless sleep, waking up several times in the middle of the night, fearful that someone was indeed squatting by her bed watching her. Reaching for her phone by the bed, she messaged Song Chi: Look what you’ve done! I can’t even sleep properly now! To her surprise, Song Chi hadn’t slept either and replied: You want me to come over and accompany you? Zhou Yun responded with a stern face, typing out two words: Haha.
